Critics blast 'The Rise of Skywalker' as disappointing finale to a Star Wars saga

John Boyega, Daisy Ridley and Oscar Isaac in "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" coming to theaters Dec. 20th, 2019. "'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' suffers from a frustrating lack of imagination, but concludes this beloved saga with fan-focused devotion," the site says of the film. When Disney purchased Lucasfilm, the owner of Star Wars, in 2012, the company decided it wanted more creative control over the future of the franchise. It announced that the only canon elements to Star Wars were the six feature films and the animated series "Clone Wars." Meanwhile, Atom Tickets said the film is currently selling nearly four times the amount of tickets as "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" and "Solo: A Star Wars Story" combined for the presale period.
