A common criticism of the recent trilogy is that the story or franchise lacks clear direction. That still seems to be the case; only Disney has become even more gun-shy since Rise Of Skywalker. Sadly, Star Wars is primarily a press release property now, but that may be the best form for it to take.

The idea of saving money on a movie which cost hundreds of millions of dollars sounds bizarre. However that is what Disney did on Star War: The Rise of Skywalker.

The Disney era of Star Wars has not always been kind to Luke Skywalker, though there is one story that undeniably understood his character.
