Breaking his silence on the mixed response to "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker", filmmaker JJ Abrams says tackling a fan-favourite franchise is a double-edged sword where one can never make everybody happy.
The film, which opened worldwide on December 20, has been blasted by critics for its story and some of the plot twists.
The criticism was particularly directed at Abrams for trying to undo the creative decisions made by Rian Johnson in the franchise's previous entry, "The Last Jedi". The movie has also divided the fans.
When asked about whether fans are not getting something from the final film in the franchise, Abrams told Vanity Fair, "No, I would say that they're right. The people who love it more than anything are also right."
