Daisy Ridley is Rey and Adam Driver is Kylo Ren in STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER (c) 2019 and TM Lucasfilm Ltd. All Rights Reseved. But one thing I can predict about this ninth Star Wars episode is that it won’t make everyone happy. That’s fine, mind you, but the Star Wars franchise finds itself in an odd position of being a singular pop culture juggernaut where everyone has their own ideas of what Star Wars should be. Four years ago, Star Wars: The Force Awakens earned mostly positive reviews and sky-high box office ($937 million domestic and $2.068 billion) and brought the Star Wars saga back into the realm of top-tier blockbuster franchises. It is unlikely that any new Star Wars movie will satisfy everyone because A) everybody has an opinion about what Star Wars should be and B) the movies themselves no longer stand far above the crowd as unthinkably huge blockbuster tentpole fantasy adventures.
