In a new interview with the DragCast podcast (via Comicbook.com), Ridley tackles ‘The Rise of Skywalker,’ the final film of the Disney trilogy, which was met with a major shrug by critics and audiences alike. However, although Ridley does believe that most fans appear to like the final film (I digress), she admits not understanding why a vocal contingent ended up acting all nasty towards the film: In my review of “The Rise of Skywalker” I wrote: She continued, “I watched the documentary, the making-of, this week, and it’s so filled with love; and I think it’s that tricky thing of when you’re part of something that is so filled with love and then people…You know, everyone’s entitled to not like something but it feels like it’s changed slightly. I think in general that’s because social media and what have you.” 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.
