Star Wars is finally returning to the big screen, but can Disney get it right this time?

The last Star Wars movie to play in theaters was The Rise of Skywalker, six years ago. That may not seem like a long time in the long arc of the series—well over a decade passed between Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace, after all—but ever since Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012, they’ve wanted to flood the zone. We got five Star Wars movies between 2015 and 2019, plus a lot of TV shows after that. So, the absence of another proper Star Wars movie has been notable.
