Part 2/10:
According to public financial reports, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker — often dubbed The Rise of Palpatine by fans bemused by its convoluted narrative — clocked in at nearly $600 million (approximately 450 million British pounds). This figure makes it the third most expensive movie in history, trailing only Disney's Infinity War and Endgame, which combined cost about $1.3 billion ($650 million each). Notably, this expense does not include additional costs from post-production or extensive marketing campaigns, which can easily add another $200-$250 million.
