Part 13/14:
Return of the Jedi exemplifies how a well-paced, character-driven, and visually coherent finale can leave a lasting emotional impact. Its careful balancing of tone, story, and spectacle shows that a satisfying ending is built on earned character development and clear storytelling.
The Rise of Skywalker, in contrast, demonstrates how overreliance on CGI, chaos, and fan service can undermine a narrative’s emotional core. Without a cohesive tone or meaningful character choices, its climax feels hollow and disconnected.
