The saga has ended. With the release of Star Wars Episode 9: Rise of the Skywalker, the longrunning story arc has concluded, for now, until more films get made. This monumental moment does stir up the conversation of the best entries in the series, which I will look to Rotten Tomatoes for this one.
If you have a problem, now you can’t blame me, unlike other rankings on the Internet. Take the torches and pitchforks to the review-aggregation site as this is how I will conduct the rankings from the professionals and audiences.
Yes, I will have two different lists here. One is for the critic score, and the other is the audience. Decide which is right or wrong, or both can be wrong or right. You can figure it all out yourselves.
