SINGAPORE - The arc that began in 2015 with The Force Awakens wraps this week with Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker (PG13, 142 minutes, opens Dec 19, 3 stars) a movie that ends the series the way it began: heavy on the spectacle and fan service, light on imagination.
Those who hated the middle movie The Last Jedi (2017) for its raw edges and odd indulgences - did someone say porgs and Mark Hamill's Luke slurping of green alien milk? - will be pleased to note that this one is all efficiency, no time-wasting.
