Bill has touched on this topic repeatedly, especially in the last few
months, so I thought it might be worth sharing a lengthy and thoughtful
(despite the title) dissection of The Rise of Skywalker. Based on some
of his podcasts/group discussions, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t consider
himself a conservative (large or small C), but he does a brilliant job
of calling out how Disney has destroyed the franchise–while in the
process giving a blow-by-blow recap of the movie, so you can save
yourself some money and aggravation and just watch this instead. 😉 If
you don’t feel like watching the whole thing, the last 5 minutes offer a
decent summary on the effect of the movie both on both the sequel and
original trilogies. (The Mandalorian, on the other hand, is a lot of fun
and does a brilliant job of feeling like the OT without copying from it
in any way. Definitely worth signing onto Disney+ for the free 1-week
trial.)
