![]() This is meant to be the equivalent of Empire Strikes Back, the rousing midpoint in the trilogy where major events up-end what the viewer thinks they know. ![]() Star Wars: Attack Of The ClonesĬlocking in at 142 minutes, Attack of the Clones is the longest film of the Prequel Trilogy, yet it seems to have nothing to say. Throw in plenty of dei ex machina, pointless platitudes to the Original Trilogy, and an utterly unwarranted Rey/Kylo Ren kiss seemingly to placate the "Reylo" shippers, and Rise sits as a prime example of how to ruin a trilogy – and potentially a franchise – with creative cowardice. Cowed by a vocal minority railing against the far superior The Last Jedi, which dared to reshape the Star Wars universe into a more complex and interesting place, The Rise of Skywalker (joining the service on May 4) scrambles to undo the previous film, sideline major characters, and reduce everything to a simple good-evil binary. Studios listening to and responding to the concerns of a fanbase can, on occasion, be a good thing. And so, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.
