The reputation of theStar WarsSequel Trilogy The Force Awakens,The Last Jedi, andThe Rise of Skywalker is not so great these days. And here at ScreenCrush and on our YouTube channel weveleveledour fair share of criticism against these three films (especially the last one).But this trilogy is now five years old. That gives us something we never had before: The benefit of hindsight. And with the benefit of hindsight we can see that for all their flaws (and they do have some!) theStar Wars sequels have a lot going for them, and a lot to say about the world as we live in it today.In our latestStar Wars video, we break down all three films and talk about why these films arenotas bad as you think evenThe Rise of Skywalker and why a lot of the bad stuff in that movie, and all three sequels, actually makes a lot of sense.
