“Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” marks the ninth (and supposedly) final film in the long-running, pop culture, “Star Wars” franchise. Director J.J. Abrams took over the series’ reins back in 2015 with “The Force Awakens,” and since that time, it’s been a pretty rocky ride for fans of the original films, as well as for some of the newer fans who have on-boarded.
