It’s a poorly kept secret that your ol’ pal, The Geek, was not a fan of Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

No, unlike many trolls living in their mother’s basement, I did not object completely to the pandering of Social Justice Warriors and #Metoo. Although, the pandering was ridiculously overt.

No, I hated the film because Johnson completely and transparently ignored the canon and his treatment of it was simply obnoxious.

The Last Jedi’s tone was off, characters felt out of sorts. A love story no one wanted to see taking place during a dramatic battle. I could go on.

Oh, and the way he killed off LUKE. He deserved better than that.

Now, we are less than two months away from the film that has been almost 50 years in the making. Eight films and here we have finally the final trailer to the final Skywalker Story film, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Thankfully JJ Abrams, who directed the well-received The Force Awakens, is back in the director’s seat. And it shows. The drama is there and the visuals are spectacular.

But it’s the narration from the Emperor which is perhaps most intriguing as we seemingly learn that he’s been plotting his return for a very long time (and that Rey and Kylo Ren’s coming together will be crucial to his plan). Watch below:
