About this episode
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
The wait is over, the final film in the Skywalker saga is here, again (for those that are old enough to remember the last time it was here with Revenge of the Sith) and JJ Abrams is back to wrap up this Sequel Trilogy that he began in 2015 with The Force Awakens.
In this episode of The 602 Club hosts Matthew Rushing and Christy Morris welcome Bruce Gibson to talk about Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. We discuss leaving the theater, Rey's answers, the Dyad, Bendemption, confronting fear, the rise of Palpatine...again, new and old characters, the Sith, The First Order, The Final Order, too many reversals, old friends return, the final score and our ratings.
