Kevin Smith is clearly excited for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and has compared the upcoming film to Avengers: Endgame.

The reaction came from Kevin Smith’s official Twitter account where the director was responding to the trailer for the upcoming film, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. In the Tweet, Kevin Smith talked about how Star Wars has been a love of his life since he first saw the original film, Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope back in 1977 and seeing a sea of Star Destroyers in the trailer made him feel like a kid again. Kevin Smith then said that he feels like Rise of Skywalker director J.J. Abrams is saying to Avengers: Endgame that he has an Endgame to.

Kevin Smith’s comparison of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and Avengers: Endgame is not without merit. Both films set themselves up as being the big finale to stories that years ago. Avengers: Endgame, of course, wrapped up Marvel Studios’ Infinity Saga which started all the way back in 2008 with Iron Man. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is set to wrap up the Skywalker Saga which started all the way back in 1977 with the first Star Wars film. So perhaps something like this did, in fact, go through J.J. Abrams head when he saw Avengers: Endgame.
