Thoughts on This Week’s In-home Releases

Though its the biggest release of the week, Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker is also the saddest. The Rise of Skywalker is a lousy science fiction extravaganza and an unfitting end to the Skywalker storyline.

I reviewed this film when it was released and had this to say about it:

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is a triage film that tries and fails to suture the plot-holes and bandage shut the canon-defying mistakes of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. In point of fact, The Rise of Skywalker adds to those very mistakes throughout its narrative. The Rise of Skywalker‘s story-line would not exist in its current incarnation if Disney’s Star Wars trilogy had been planned out before production began on Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens.

Mr. Robot: Season 4 is very good but it is not quite as good as the seasons that proceeded it. It’s a marginal decline and you will only notice it if you have seen every episode (which I have). That being said, the season is a great closing chapter with a perplexing final episode that the viewer never anticipates.
