‘Star Wars’ Actor Trashes ‘Rise of Skywalker’ as an ‘Absolute F**king Failure’
An unlikely critic of the new Star Wars movie has emerged: little-known actor Jake Cannavale, who played a supporting role in Disney’s Star Wars TV series, The Mandalorian.
Unlike the Star Wars movies, which have received ever-more mixed reviews as they have multiplied in number, The Mandalorian, released in November this year, is almost universally admired by Star Wars fans with an astonishing 94% rating on online ranking site Rotten Tomatoes.
The series is set five years after the events of Return of the Jedi and follows a Mandalorian bounty hunter beyond the reaches of the New Republic. The series is written and produced by a superstar team headed up by Jon Favreau and is a key plank in Disney’s attempts to break into the TV streaming market. A second series is currently in production.
