Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker

Published: Dec. 24, 2019, 6:35 p.m.

As we near the end of David Lynch December, we take a break from transcendental weirdness to check back in with the Skywalker clan and their bevy of friends in the finale to the latest Star Wars trilogy: The Rise of Skywalker. Following the events of the lackluster\xa0Last Jedi, the film picks up a year later with the return of a powerful villain once thought dead that threatens to destroy the entire known galaxy. It's yet another disappointing, disjointed, and ultimately forgettable conclusion to a sequel trilogy mired in mediocrity and problems. The Projection Booth's Mike White and director Matt Campagna join Chris to have a civil discourse about the film, where the trilogy goes from here, and who may be to blame for the film's failings.\xa0
