However, Skywalker's rise is not the most popular among critics and fans alike: episode 9 failed to meet the high expectations of many viewers, and numerous fans criticized the controversial decisions J.J. Abrams – but also his predecessor Rian Johnson – had met for the Skywalker saga.
Regardless, with the debut of Episode 9 on Disney +, the entire Skywalker saga is available for streaming for the first time: From Episode 4 – A New Hope via Episode 1 – The Dark Threat to Episode 9 – The Rise of Skywalker is now available all nine main films on Disney +.

While previous episodes with the siege of Mandalore, Maul's imprisonment and the proclamation of Order 66 sealed the end of the clone wars, the final Clone Wars episode revolves around the fate of Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex. At this point, of course, we don't want to spoil anything.
