Episode IX wrapped filming earlier this month and is now in post-production to meet its December release date. The yet-to-be titled final installment in the Skywalker saga is shrouded in secrecy, with a trailer not expected to debut until Star Wars Celebration in April. However, Episode IX is already being bombed with negative audience reviews on the popular review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes.
The “Want To See” score of Star Wars: Episode IX on Rotten Tomatoes dropped as much as 5% in a single day as a result of the fake review onslaught, as noted by Twitter user Bryan Young. Most of the audience reviews seem to attack directors J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson for their creative decisions with The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.
J.J. Abrams is back in the director’s chair for Star Wars: Episode IX, working from a script he co-wrote with Chris Terrio, the writer behind Argo, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League. It’s the first Star Wars movie hitting theaters following Solo: A Star Wars Story, the lowest-grossing Star Wars release since Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm.
Episode IX stars Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran, Joonas Suotamo, Billie Lourd, Naomi Ackie, Richard E. Grant, Keri Russell, Dominic Monaghan, Matt Smith, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, and Billy Dee Williams. Carrie Fisher will appear as General Leia Organa through the use of previously unreleased footage shot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Star Wars: Episode IX opens on December 20, 2019.
