Pete Wentz gives the third in the ‘Star Wars’ trilogy his stamp of approval, but after a 42-year journey amassing millions of fans and billions of dollars … he doesn’t expect everyone to agree.
The Fall Out Boy bassist was out in Studio City, and we got him shortly after he took in ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ … which he tells us he liked a lot, and calls “an amazing fairy tale.”
Pete does admit there were some parts of the film he wasn’t totally into, but settles on it being “pretty darn good” … which is much better than what many folks felt about ‘The Last Jedi.’
Still processing #TheRiseOfSkywalker – a lot to take in and a lot of heart. My entire life has been wrapped up in this story. I wanted to thank anyone who has ever worked on @starwars for creating the fairy tale of our generations ❤️💫 pic.twitter.com/a28hOeUFb6

Wentz addresses that too, telling us “spoiled” fans should consider themselves lucky to be debating the quality of new ‘Star Wars’ projects — and whether the partnership with Disney helped or hurt them — because when he was a kid … all of this seemed unimaginable.
He also urges fans to have fun while debating the films with each other online and elsewhere, and if there are disagreements … just be respectful.
Of course, disagreements don’t seem to apply to one aspect of the ‘Star Wars’ universe … Pete says he’s witnessed its unifying awesomeness firsthand.
