Star Wars - The Rise of Skywalker | Average Guy Movie Review

Since the Battle of Crait, Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) has sought to increase his control over the galaxy. All the while Rey (Daisy Ridley) has continued her Jedi training and the Resistance have struggled to maintain a foothold. But when a new threat emerges, the rebels are faced with a race against time to save the galaxy from the Sith and a new Galactic Empire. JJ Abrams' conclusion to one of the biggest movie franchises in history certainly tries to live up to the word "epic". There is a lot going on here - enough for two movies in fact - and because of that it's all a bit rushed. The movie's pace steams along at something akin to light speed. Rarely letting up - even for the much needed exposition - The Rise of Skywalker jumps from one intense moment to the next. As feared, it is a little JJ does Return of the Jedi. Beyond that, he and writer Chris Terrio have just tried to do too much with one movie. This includes providing a conclusion to all nine movies

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker | Moustache Trailer Reaction

The final trailer for Star Wars - The Rise of Skywalker is here, and it looks to be on a scale beyond anything we've ever seen in a galaxy far, far away...if that's even possible. If you haven't seen the trailer (or you just want to watch it again), check it out below: With all the information circling the final instalment in the Skywalker saga, I was expecting something quite dark and sinister when it came to the final trailer. But this actually feels quite hopeful, maybe the people at Lucasfilm are lulling us in to a false sense of security. Either way, this trailer does its job perfectly; it's both exciting and tense, it raises more questions than it answers, and the saga looks to be going out with a massive bang! The Resistance are gathering their forces in preparation for a major battle, possibly a last stand, a battle to end all battles. It appears that Lando Calrissian (Billy Dee Williams) and Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) - aboard the Millennium

Solo: A Star Wars Story | Average Guy Movie Review

After a troubled development - which included hiring a new director and a lot of reshoots - the scruffy looking Nerf Herder's origin story is here. Starting with his early years on Corellia, the movie charts Han Solo's (Alden Ehrenreich) time with Imperial Fleet and the beginnings of his criminal career. Along the way he makes a few friends, some familiar, some not so much. At this point Han hasn't become the jaded cynic we see in A New Hope, he's young and more of an optimist. He's also introduced to the Millennium Falcon, after all, what would a Han Solo movie be without "the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy"? Disney's latest foray into a galaxy far, far away is a little lighter and more fun than the last two. Some have described Solo (the movie, not the man) as a box ticking exercise, and in a way they're right. But that is only a small part of the movie. There are certain events that had to happen and some that were fun to

Solo: A Star Wars Story | Synopsis Lands

We finally have a synopsis for the troubled Han Solo origin story: Board the Millenium Falcon and journey to a galaxy far, far away in Solo: A Star Wars Story, an all-new adventure with the most beloved scoundrel in the galaxy. Through a series of daring escapades within a dark and dangerous criminal underworld, Han Solo meets his mighty future copilot Chewbacca and encounters the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian, in a journey that will set the course of one of the Star Wars saga's most unlikely heroes.    There it is, but it doesn’t really tell us anything we didn’t already know. There’s no mention of any of the new characters - including a villain - or what Han and Chewie are going up against. For now, it seems the smuggler’s origins remain shrouded in mystery!
