A last great piece designed by Kevin and Jody in tribute to Mary Poppins.

Star Wars Rise of Skywalker D&M Review ( With NO Spoilers )

I saw in theatre today Star Wars : The Rise of Skywalker and the movie is pretty incredible. Personally i liked it a lot and it's without a doubt the best one of this last trilogy. The amount of events happening in Rise of Skywalker is amazing and, even if the movie last 2h21min you never have the feeling that it lasted 141 min. It happens sometime that, after watching a movie i think about the scenes that i think should have been cut to make it better but here it's not the case, there is no such thing, and nothing to cut, in my opinion. Sure, some may think that what is happening in the last third of Rise of Skywalker is sometime a bit hard to swallow, but we're in Star Wars not in real life, so even if the storyline is a bit "limit", that's okay.



One of the reason why the movie is so enjoyable is also because how it's filmed. J.J Abrams may not be perfect for some but you can't take out the fact that this guy knows how to film brillantly - and i'm talking here not only about the framing of each shot but how the camera moves - and a damn' good director. Sure, the editing is brilliant - and it had to be so viewers won't get lost in what is happening and the many ellipsis - but each scene of Rise of Skywalker is beautifully filmed and most of the time, beautiful to watch, esthetically speaking, which doesn't hurt.



I really don't want to spoil the story so you'll have to watch it to know what's happening but i think you probably won't be disappointed, unless you're a Star Wars purist, and even, i think Star Wars fans will love it.



One more thing: the sequence on the desert planet was filmed in Jordan Wadi Rum desert, which i know very well as i have been there. The first scenes ever filmed at Wadi Rum was for David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia, a director admired both by George Lucas and J.J Abrams and J.J took care to don't film the action of Rise of Skywalker exactly at the same Wadi Rum locations where Lean filmed Lawrence in 1961 which was not that easy as Lean took the best settings when he filmed there neraly sixty years ago, and they're so famous and recognizable that the crew of Rise of Skywalker really had to find others locations in this wonderful desert.



Anyway, go watch Rise of Skywailker and in the meantime, to keep you waiting, have a look at this short video done by Jared Owen who tell you what is really inside the Millennium Falcon.
