The Mandalorian star Jake Cannavale has heavily criticised Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in a furious Instagram rant.

The actor, who plays Toro Calican – a wannabe bounty hunter who teams up with the titular character in the Disney+ series – recently went to see the final instalment of the Skywalker saga. And it's safe to say he was far from impressed.

Despite now being part of the franchise, Jake didn't hold back in his criticism of the film, describing it as the "worst Star Wars movie" and an "absolute f***ing failure".

In an Instagram Story, he wrote: "Rise of Skywalker was hands down the worst Star Wars movie. An absolute f***ing failure. Went to see it last night and I woke up still mad. Like... it rendered the entire new trilogy completely useless.

"There were more plot holes than there was plot. The amount of 'by the ways' was absolutely infuriating. Rise of Skywalker (btw dumbass title) was worse than Phantom Menace AND Last Jedi combined. Fight me."

When asked by one fan if he'd feel differently if he was actually in the film, he replied: "Honestly, I think I'd be more mad.

"Obviously I can't speak on behalf of the cast. To some actors this is just a job and maybe they're just happy to be working. To which I say more power to them.

"Also, maybe they f***ing loved the new Star Wars! In which case that's f***ing dope that they got to work on something they truly got to enjoy. "

He continued: "Personally, I've been a huge Star Wars fan since I was a kid. And I felt pretty let down by the overall laziness of this new trilogy, and also a bit angry at the entitlement of it for pretty much seizing control of the franchise as a whole by basically [saying], 'Nah we don't like the ending that everybody's been cool with for decades, let's change it!'

"I personally would feel pretty depressed if I was in the new Star Wars movie (as a main character I mean. If I was a dude wearing an alien puppet or whatever I'd be f***ing stoked… but still)."

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is in cinemas now.
