Hopes were almost impossibly high for the final installment in the Skywalker saga, and there was no way the movie would satisfy everybody.

Now, I’m hardly the only person disappointed in Rise of Skywalker. In an unexpected twist, however, the fantastic first season of The Mandalorian combined with my disappointment in Rise of Skywalker ruined my expectations for Star Wars movies compared to TV. Between the debut of The Mandalorian as the franchise’s first live-action TV show and the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, there were some very high expectations. The end of 2019 was arguably the most exciting time for the Star Wars fandom since the lead-up to The Force Awakens back in 2015.
