It may be after the garbage fires that “Last Jedi” and “Solo” were, Disney has just stopped giving a damn about Star Wars. Heck, they don’t even have Star Wars toys at WalMart, a sure sign of franchise malaise.
But they’re still going through the motions, and recently released the first official poster for “Rise of Skywalker.” Behold the lameness:
Judgement: Meh.
But it gets even better: See that Emperor Palpatine there int he background? It seems that they didn’t paint Palpatine from the actual actor in makeup, but from a frakin’ toy.
Star Wars 9’s Palpatine Is A TOY, Not From The Movie
Sigh.
