Just as Lucasfilm says goodbye to its own Star Wars saga, so must we do the same.
After spending most of 2019 working our way through George Lucas’ “galaxy far, far away,” we’ve come to the final installment of our Star Wars series. This week, we’ll discuss Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker.
To complete this epic journey, Lucasfilm recruited The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams. So, in keeping with that, we’ve brought back our guest from our original Star Wars episode, Kai Yaniz. We’ll discuss the “Reylo” of it all, Palpatine’s return, and whether Abrams and his team are able to craft a satisfying conclusion to this 42-year journey.
Plus, we’ll hear from almost every guest we’ve had during our Star Wars episode so far. The Rise of Skywalker is proving to, once again, be a divisive chapter in the Star Wars saga. So let’s get to it before we lightspeed-skip right into 2020!
SYNOPSIS
The surviving Resistance faces the First Order once more as Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega), and Poe Dameron’s (Oscar Isaac) journey continues. With the power and knowledge of generations behind them, the final battle commences.
