Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has proved to be somehow even more divisive than The Last Jedi, something that's not helped by fans having to find answers in tie-in novels and comic books rather than the movie itself. While J.J. Abrams tried to please everyone, it feels like he failed to really make anyone truly happy, and now "Honest Trailers" is taking aim the the Skywalker Saga finale!
It's that latter point which this tongue in cheek look at Episode IX really focuses on and, as per usual, there are plenty of jokes at the movie's expense that even its biggest defenders should get a laugh out of.
Something that hasn't really helped The Rise of Skywalker in recent months is the fact that a series of leaks about Colin Trevorrow's version - titled Duel of the Fates - has resulted in a lot of fans arguing that his plans for the film were considerably more exciting.
As it stands, the future of the franchise on the big screen remains a mystery.
Various filmmakers are said to be attached to future stories in some way, but nothing concrete has been announced. The success of The Mandalorian, meanwhile, has seemingly led to Lucasfilm focusing more on small screen adventures for the time being thanks to the launch of Disney+.
