‘The Rise of Skywalker’ had a slew of problems, but it’s nearing $1B at the box office anyway
In a new interview, director J.J. Abrams' longtime film editor Maryann Brandon paints an unfortunate picture of just how rushed things were behind-the-scenes for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, adding more weight to complaints from critics who feel like the film botched the finale of one of the most storied pop culture franchises of all time.
The movie's unmoveable December 20 release date, Brandon told IndieWire, made production so challenged and the schedule consequently so tight that editing had to actually be done on-set. That's in spite of Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy insisting that "J.J. has got to spend more time in the cutting room,' and I knew that wasn't going to happen. Not with the schedule that we were on." Comments that will no doubt confirm the bias of critics -- but which, as we noted above, don't account for the fact that the conclusion to the Skywalker saga is nevertheless raking in the dough at the box office.
