For the first episode of 2020, MFR focuses the bulk of his attention of Episode IX of the Skywalker Saga, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. He talks about the film's themes, and how some stuff that seems cheap and lazy is actually rather profound and a wonderful evolution of what Rian Johnson emphasized in The Last Jedi.
Along the way, he also touches on Bumblebee (and how the people behind that film are going to be creating some great work in the years to come), James Cameron's Avatar, and the idea of universal truths being explored in countless forms is actually a great thing.
