This 'Mandalorian' Star Blasted 'Rise Of Skywalker' Calling It A 'Failure'

Jake Cannavale, who plays Toro Calican in the Disney+ hit show “Mandalorian,” was not slightly impressed by the “Star Wars” movie “Rise Of Skywalker.” The actor shared his opinions for the new movie via his Instagram story.

“I’m in the Star Wars universe now!!! So surely I can’t speak ill of Episode IX right???…WRONG,” Cannavale wrote on Instagram Stories (via Fox News). “'Rise of Skywalker' was hands down the worst Star Wars movie. An absolute [expletive] failure... Rise of Skywalker (btw [expletive] title) was worse than 'Phantom Menace' AND 'Last Jedi' combined. Fight me.”

Allegedly after that, a fan asked him if his thoughts would be the same if he had a role in the final installment of the “Star Wars” franchise.

“Honestly, I think I’d be more mad,” he admitted. “Obviously I can’t speak on behalf of the cast. To some actors this is just a job and maybe they’re just happy to be working. To which I say more power to them. Also, maybe they [expletive] loved the new “Star Wars!” In which case that’s [expletive] dope that they got to work on something they truly got to enjoy.”

The rant didn’t end there. He reportedly continued to talk about how he has always been a “Star Wars” fan and that this whole trilogy was lazy.

“Personally I’ve been a huge 'Star Wars' fan since I was a kid. And I felt pretty let down by the overall laziness of this new trilogy, and also a bit angry at the entitlement of it for pretty much seizing control of the franchise as a whole by basically [saying], ‘Nah we don’t like the ending that everybody’s been cool with for decades, let’s change it!’” he said before adding. “I personally would feel pretty depressed if I was in the new 'Star Wars' movie (as a main character I mean. If I was a dude wearing an alien puppet or whatever I’d be [expletive] stoked…but still.)”
