S16 Ep865: Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)

“Kylo Ren meeting Palpatine should be a big deal!” - Chris

On this week’s episode, we’re heading back to a galaxy far, far away once again to chat about the Star Wars film that flew the franchise into the mountain, The Rise of Skywalker!

Is this movie the best argument ever for why studios should never listen to the Internet? Has Richard E. Grant’s grand talent ever been more wasted than this role as General Pryde? Shouldn’t they have tried another way to handle the Leia issue? What a slap in the face with that Chewbacca medal crap at the end, right? And anybody else up for getting some shark teeth put in? PLUS: Palpatine puts the first five rows of his arena into the Zap Zone!

Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker stars Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Anthony Daniels, Naomi Ace, Domhnall Gleeson, Richard E. Grant, Lupita Nyong’o, Keri Russell, Kelly Marie Tran, Joonas Suotamo, Greg Grunberg, Ian McDiarmid, Billie Lourd, Dominic Monaghan, Billy Dee Williams, and Shirley Henderson as the voice of Babu Frik; directed by J.J. Abrams.
