'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' Actor Richard E. Grant Calls Backlash for the Film 'Inevitable'

The end is near, but so is the release. This week, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will finally hit theaters and the beloved saga will come to a close. With an ending of such epic proportions, it's going to be impossible to please everyone, especially die-hard Star Wars fans. Actor Richard E. Grant even admits that backlash is not just likely, it's "inevitable," reports Gizmodo.

“People feel incredibly passionate and possessive about it,” Grant, who plays Allegiant General Pryde in the upcoming film, told the publication. “I understand that because I have been a Star Wars fan since I was 20 years old in 1977 when I was a drama student.”

“Inevitably there will be a Game of Thrones syndrome to Star Wars because you can’t please everybody all of the time,” Grant continued. “And the ending, what people want it to be and what it actually is, hopefully, for the majority of people seeing it, they will feel that they’ve had their wishes fulfilled. But inevitably there’s gonna be people that don’t feel that way. And you can’t anticipate that. You have to do what is honest and true to you. And I think that J.J. and Chris Terrio have done that to the absolute ends of their ability.”

The other inevitable is that we'll find out when the film debuts on Dec. 20.
