I just saw THE RISE OF SKYWALKER again. And I was wrong. It’s not just good — it’s a fucking great STAR WARS film. Just wow. 🙌🏻

#TheRiseOfSkywalker
is a joyride brimming w heart, camaraderie & reverence. It’s a beast of a film jam-packed w well-earned emotional surprises, servicing the past as agreesively as it covers fresh new ground. It’s a fitting ending to the greatest Saga of all time. 1/7
Skywalker might be a new title or type of force user... Not Jedi. Not Sith. Good title symmetry with RotS and RotJ. Luke Spirit? Emperor?!? Back to Endor?

PT 2. Working in a large stadium format was a challenging & stimulating experience. It was pure joy to watch the 1989 tour explode into life firsthand from conception to execution.

To reiterate, this week I’ll occasionally feature art and production items from the film, which turns 20 this year.
FANBOYS turns 15 today!!! What a wild and crazy ride it was making this film. We came together as strangers united by our love for Star Wars to bring this story to life and we left as family. To say this film changed my life is an understatement of the highest order.

didn’t have a great release or make a lot of (er, any) money. BUT... people discovered it & shared it. It warms my heart every time I hear how someone connected with the film. That’s what it’s about—making us feel less lonely out there. 👊🏻🖖🏻❤️
Every generation has a legend. Every journey has a first step. Every saga has a beginning.

comment for now: Judge for
#TheRiseOfSkywalker
for yourselves. I hope it makes you happy. We all like the films we like and dislike the one we don’t — that’s ok. For me, it added layers to the other two films in the trilogy & nuance to the Saga overall.
#MTFBWY
James Knight made this wonderful Sy Snootles (from Return of Jedi, OG pre-Special Edition mind you!) out of sculpey clay. Yes, we are officially related. It’s pretty awesome for a 5 year old.

Give up the Rey is a “Grey Jedi” chatter. It’s not happening.
@StarWars
is about HOPE. That’s in its DNA. The primary building block of Lucas’ myth. That’s where this is going. Rey is Skywalker by CHOICE. Not lineage. Like Anakin & Luke she will CHOOSE love. A concept foreign—
Well done

Oh, and the lightsaber fights are 👌🏻. Some simply fucking gorgeous saber battles that are really well choreographed. This is the good stuff, force friends. The Dark Side, The light Side. It ALL flows through this one!!! 6/7
I definitely need another viewing STAT to unpack and process the volume of it all. So much new lore! Christmas arrived early Star Wars fans. May the Force be with you... always.

fans. It was an honor & a joy to connect w/ so many incredibly talented souls. May the force be with you
What’s most impressive about
#TheRiseOfSkywalker
is the warmth on display. Aside form being collectively fantastic, these actors love each other and the Saga they have been afforded to play in and that love incandescently shines throughout. 2/7
#TheRiseOfSkywalker
boasts the best opening crawl in decades! The film will have its detractors but the task
