The 11 Most Excruciatingly Awful Films to Ever Exist
2. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Fans waited years for the final Star Wars trilogy to make it to screen, and despite mixed feelings about the middle entry The Last Jedi, many had high hopes for the last entry. Director J.J. Abrams, teaming again with co-writer Chris Terrio, returned to complete the series that he began with the safe but enjoyable The Force Awakens, which at the very least promised to please the traditionalists put off by the big swings of The Last Jedi.
However, The Rise of Skywalker pleased no one. A complete mess of a film, The Rise of Skywalker featured multiple fake-out deaths that get reversed the very next scene, a mind-numbing quest plot, and fan service that made no sense in the universe. When Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) says, “Somehow, Palpatine returned,” viewers can feel the Force seeping from their bodies.
