“Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” premieres today, closing out a 42-year-old saga and capping off a huge year for Disney.
After harsh criticism over creative choices in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," the final installment in the most recent Star Wars trilogy — the bookend of a nine-part saga — seems to have fallen short of expectations as director J.J. Abrams attempted to appease fans.
That movie was contentious, at best. It turned Luke Skywalker into a Yoda-like hermit living in exile on an island, cut off from the Force, it separated the main characters, much like "The Empire Strikes Back," and divided fans. For many critics, "The Rise of Skywalker" spends much of its time fixing issues fans had with "The Last Jedi" and adding characters instead of exploring the ones that were introduced previously.
Although the film doesn't open until Friday, "The Rise of Skywalker" is currently accounting for more than 70% of Fandango's daily ticket sales, the company said. Meanwhile, Atom Tickets said the film is currently selling nearly four times the amount of tickets as "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" and "Solo: A Star Wars Story" combined for the presale period.
