The Rise of Skywalker

 On my flight from Hong Kong to London, I watched the last box office installment of the Star Wars franchise, “The Rise of Skywalker”.  All I can say is that this is the worst film of the franchise and Disney has truly ruined what George Lucas created.

My criticisms include CGI use of Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia and most controversially the re-spawning of Emperor Palpatine.  They could have written Leia out of the story and the re-spawn of Palpatine meant that the entire ending of episode six, “The return of the Jedi”, meant nothing.

The only redeeming feature was the cameo given by Dennis Lawson as Wedge Antilles.  I agreed with the prequels and also with “Rogue One” but the films after Return of the Jedi should never have been made.
