Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker - Zavvi Exclusive 4K Ultra HD Steelbook (3 Disc Edition includes Blu-ray)

Being a long time fan of the franchise, I really must say that the sequel trilogy could have been so much better, overall. After The Force Awakens, the ending had so much potential going forward, but the powers that be and the director screwed that up badly. After the introduction of the character called Snoke, there was so much confusion and not much storytelling of who he really was or where he came from. The backstory was lackluster. This movie, although better in my opinion than VIII, was a mix match at best. It seemed the only way to somewhat repair the damage caused by director Rian Johnson and Kathleen Kennedy was to bring in the Emperor from VI. It did bring some action into this last chapter of the Skywalker Saga, but it left me and millions of fans scratching our heads as to what the f happened. I am glad though that at least we have a TV series worthy of our fanbase taking place in the timeline after ROTJ. That in itself may save the entire franchise going forward. I give Episode IX and this steelbook 4 stars as a whole. If you are a diehard and have to have this particular one to complete the entire 11 movie set, then by all means get it.
