This week, Boyega snapped at a fan on Twitter who claimed “Rise of Skywalker” was an embarrassment, Boyega replied “Embarrassing? LOL you wish. Very fulfilling, some disappointments but yet not that big of a deal. Everyone has moved on.” Boyega joins Daisy Ridley, who earlier this month said the extreme outrage over “The Rise of Skywalker” really upset her, in defending ‘Rise of Skywalker.’ “It’s changed film by film honestly. Like, 98% it’s so amazing, this last film it was really tricky. January was not that nice. It was weird, I felt like all of this love that we’d sort of been shown the first time around, I was like, ‘Where’s the love gone?’ The film had Boyega appearing for the third and final time as ex-Stormtrooper Finn — it opened last Christmas to mixed reviews, both with critics (52% on RT) and audiences (6.7 on IMDB) In my review of “The Rise of Skywalker” I wrote: And so, what we’re left with here are characters that we don’t necessarily care about as much as we thought we did. Despite all the hoopla created by the Disney marketing machine, Rey, Poe, and Finn are just not as interesting a set of characters as Luke, Han, and Leia. That, in the end, will be the downfall of this trilogy. Johnson laid the groundwork for a new and interesting direction, but Abrams decided to adhere to fan fiction instead of going out in the wild blue and taking some much-needed risks. “The Rise of Skywalker” is business as usual. “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” is available for purchase on Digital and Blu-Ray.
