STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER reactions point to a busy but satisfying conclusion to the series

Last night Disney held the star-studded premiere of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in America and now we’ve had the first social media reactions to the film.

Whilst all of the reactions are positive it does seem that many journalists have cited the film as being a little overstuffed at times. But whilst it may be quite a busy plot you will note that many say this is not an issue, particularly with what seems to be a very satisfying ending.

Here are some of our favourites:

#StarWarsRiseofSkywalker reaction: JJ Abrams nailed it. He was able to bring a cohesive arc to this trilogy that feels like a fitting end to the saga as a whole. I’m so emotionally drained. Star Wars fans will be very happy.

Wow. Wow. Wow. #TheRiseOfSkywalker delivers. So much happens in this film it’s hard to get my head around. But it gets this epic ending right. So right. JJ Abrams and team nails it. And gives a whole new appreciation for The Last Jedi in the process. Please avoid sppolers!

#StarWars #TheRiseOfSkywalker is good. It’s big and full of surprises and, in the words of Luke Skywalker, “This is not going to go the way you think.” pic.twitter.com/nruJtzaMC4

Well… #TheRiseOfSkywalker is a drastic departure from TLJ, but also not as invigorating as TFA. It is a movie packed with action (it’s seriously nonstop), but also jammed with fan service. @starwars fans – brace for the debates. pic.twitter.com/DjKo9ejRWw
