Having been glimpsed in the ‘forceback’ scene in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the Knights of Ren made their return to the galaxy far, far away this month in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, although their involvement was limited to a few shots of them standing around looking menacing, before being dispatched in short […]
J.J. Abrams says Luke’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker scene is not “flipping off” The Last Jedi
Mark Hamill made a brief but key return to the Skywalker Saga for its final instalment this month, with Luke Skywalker’s first appearance in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker very reminiscent of his opening scene in Star Wars: The Last Jedi – save for the fact he’s catching the Skywalker lightsaber, rather than tossing […]

Are we watching Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker through routine rather than passion?
Tom Jolliffe on whether audiences are sleepwalking into the latest and possibly final Star Wars instalment… Christmas is almost upon us.
