In the final episode of the decade, Ben The Movie Buff and Average Joe make one "final" trip to the galaxy far, far away for a look at the newest Star Wars film, "Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker".
Does this final film wrap up the saga that began 42 years ago? Does it address all of the issues brought up by "The Last Jedi"? Is it a satisfying conclusion to Star Wars as we know it? Have we been spoiled with too much of a good thing?
