Here it is guys! Star Wars Episode 9.. the final star wars. A lot of people have urged me to not watch the sequel trilogy but I'm honestly glad I did, even if they aren't to compare to the other trilogies, they were still worth it in my eyes. I really thought I would hate the sequels, but I didn't, and actually really enjoyed episode 7&9 more than I thought I would!
Thank you guys for joining me on my Star Wars journey, I didn't realize how much I loved the universe until I got immersed in it. Now I'm so heavily tied to these characters it hurts to see anything happen to them LOL it feels like I was missing this part of my life and I can safely call myself a Star Wars fan. Thank you guys for exposing me to Star Wars and I hope you guys enjoyed the ride with me!! It was definitely wild at times LOL
But in the end you guys were right. I did love it❤

...I want to invent ShillSkare...*but what would such a business look like*...
thank you
Okay. Now that you're caught up please react to the HFP videos.
Vkunia - wants to see Adam driver nekked ......LOL.
Vkunia - Palpitine was able to survive, because he mastered the power over DEATH, gained from killing his Former Master , before even EPISODE ONE.
ANIKIN was seduce by SITH in hopes of saving the EMPRESS, Luke & Leia's mother, after Anakin had a Premonition , that she would die.
(from a meme)
Rey: I can block Force lightning with two lightsabers
Mace Windu: I can block Force lightning with one lightsaber
Yoda: I can block Force lightning with my hands
Luke: You guys can block Force lightning?!
😂😂😂
to be fair luke like less then a year of real Jedi training and Ray is just a marry sue. Windu and Yoda are legit masters of the Jedi arts. Ray shouldve got her ass ripped from day one by Kylo.
@@trevorhogen7761 I mean she’s Palpatine’s granddaughter, and basically his direct daughter since she came from a failed Palpatine clone, anyone with a lineage like that is gonna be super powerful, even more so than Luke.
The basic Bass Player discussion after a Band gig. "You guys got payed?"
@@chewy99. More powerful than the chosen ones son with training? huh....
I think its so poetic that Harrison Ford/Han Solo’s last line of the entire saga is simply “I know “.
Its like pottery
Well Doctor, your last line was "I let you go..."
Totally!
One of the very very few things this movie did well.
Hey, Doctor! Nice seeing you in this universe!
Can you please travel back in time and fix the midichlorians thing? Just don't tell me it is a fixed point!
Complete victory of the Palpatine bloodline, burying the Skywalkers in the sand, and taking their name. 😂
''Somethings are stronger than blood''
Reminds me of the 3rd Punic War when the Romans slaughtered, dismantled what was left of Carthage and then salted the earth. Complete and total annihilation.
I don’t see how killing Emperor Palpatine and ending his quest to become immortal and rule the galaxy is “victory” for Palpatine, but ok
@@Im__Gavin because she's a palpatine, try to keep up lol
@@DisgruntledHippo I would love an epic film trilogy of the Punic Wars.
“Nice flying, Lando” 21:56 The actor (Dennis Lawson) is Wedge Antilles from the original trilogy. Awesome they bring him back into the final fight.
He's also Ewan McGregors uncle.
@@phantom6 Is he really?
@@EntertainmentFan11 Yes. He is.
The thing that gets me, though, is that he was meant to have the Poe Dameron role in Forcr Awakens, but he didn't want to do what amounted to a cameo...which was essentially what his appearance here ended up being.
I enjoyed the big “there are more of us“ moment. Yeah maybe it wasn’t as emotionally fulfilling as it could’ve been, but I still like the idea that the entire galaxy has finally had enough. This one single man Palpatine threw an entire galaxy into war and chaos for several decades. So even normal citizens like farmers showed up in their little ships to help out.
"Somehow Palpatine returned" 1000/10 writing...
LOL who'd he mate with!?!?!? holy moly
Well, the entire concept of artificial and controllable Snoke creation is explanation of how "somehow Palpatine returned"... 🤦♂️
@@J0rdan912 So I guess he could clone himself instead of Jango and take over 60 years before...
@@user-xx6vy9ri8p He couldn't. Palpatine was watching for that mythical ultimate "life force" power he mentioned in his story for Anakin about Darth Plagueis, so Palpatine can achieve it thanks to Anakin. Clones, technology, Snoke was only a workaround to survive and keep control over galaxy until two most powerful dark and light force users will rise again so Darth Sidious can finally steal it and live and rule forever.
What is so wrong about that line exactly? What was he supposed to say? He was to tell the others that Palpatine had survived and he had obviously no idea how. Just that he came back *somehow* .
VKunia: I love this movie
VKunia 3 minutes later: I hate this movie.
Like every SW fan
It was pure joy watching your reaction. You got to watch the entire Star Wars saga in less than a year. Imagine how the Star Wars fans who have been following this story for over 44 years felt. I know I shed lot's of tears. Keep up the great reactions.
I'm one of them, still remember the hype around Phantom Menace being announced; though it could never live up the hype it had.
I just binged your Star Wars reactions. This was genuinely fun. I laughed and cried along with you. I'm an old fan. I saw Star Wars in a drive in theater in '77 with my Mom and my Grandma. It was the first movie I ever got to see at a theater. Very special to me.
:") 💕
The people who support the Star Wars. Sequel trilogy are not George Lucas fans or supporters. George Lucas said himself that the first 6 are his. And the sequel trilogy is not. Disney ruined Star Wars Lucas films is now only worth a quarter of what it was worth back in 2012. A big thank you to all those people who supports the Star Wars. Sequel trilogies, you guys helped ruin the Star Wars franchise.
@@louiedavis4909 Yeah, yeah, now go to sleep, buddy.
@@thewildegeekmode5948 Quiet, you pathetic DISNEY Star Wars fan. I can probably say that I was never one of those idiots that complained about the remastered versions. I can also proudly say that I was never one of those idiots that complained about the prequel trilogy. And I can probably say that. I am not thirsty, like all these idiots for Disney Star Wars.
@thewildegeekmode5948 Ha ha ha, you're Ahsoka show is sucking in ratings. It's getting beat out by Grey's Anatomy, Bluey, who is Erin Carter, and Suits.
"I dont know how she mastered all this skills"
Dude, not even the writters know
especially the writers don't know
We literally see her training at the beginning, and it’s confirmed she trained with Leia and the sacred Jedi texts for over a year. Granted I definitely wish that we saw more of it and the movie’s pacing is a bit too fast, but it’s there
@@mr.moviemafia if you read the book 🙄 Leia didnt want to train as a Jedi, she literally had nothing to teach Rey
Plus Rey was way too op the first two movies, so why is she training anyway?
@@mr.moviemafia it's still stupid, Jedi train for their whole life, even the chosen one had to. Rey does everything in the first two movies without any training and then just runs around in a forest for a year and lifts super heavy rocks, can fly (wtf), heal ppl and beat Darth sidious who is one of the most, if not the most op character in Star wars
@@mr.moviemafia Shut. Up.
Palpatine: I am a genius. I transferred my essence to a failed clone of me, instead of creating a clone of Lord Vader or Skywalker's son for a healthier and younger body. And now with my 1000 Planetary Destroyers, which have no shields because I didn't reach the budget, I will rule the galaxy. I just hope I don't get stopped by a squad of space horses and destroy the command ship. Nor do I expect my granddaughter to pull out a second lightsaber while I throw my Force Lightnings at her and she pull hers "I am Iron Man" from her as she returns my lightnings to me and I keep shooting.
Should have opted for the 950 P.D. with shields-package instead...
I think he could only transfer his mind to a clone of himself.
Don't forget that all 1000 ships don't know where "up" is
24:25 would have been a quicker review tbh
@@Mokkari77
No, if Rey had followed through with the ritual sacrifice, then he intended to take over her body.
Palpatine's son was a clone of himself, so he fortunately didn't mate with anyone.
@@rovhalt6650 That's not canon. At least, not yet. Pray it never becomes so.
I never understood why he called him his son because Snoke was just creation, so what earned his son the rights to be called his child
@@lostsoul4784 I suppose the thing is he never does.
Rey, on the other hand is useful. And unlike Snoke, she doesn't have 5 backups floating in tubes lol
There goes my idea for the line "lie back, and think of Alderaan."
"But...but you had Alderaan brutally destroyed."
"Precisley"
How are we suppoesd to know that from this movie? The average viewer is not going to read 20 books
When Lando arrives with all the ships, I just hear Gary Oldman in Leon: "EVERYONE!!!"
Lol, that's good but all I hear is Sam in Endgame saying "On your left"
What do you mean everyone?
"This is from.... Matilda".
@@Mithinco EVVVVVVEERRRRYYYOOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!
He don’t have time for that Mickey Mouse bull….
"I'm hoping for a change of direction"
"How about 15 changes of direction?"
I remember reading some place, that the Scene with Han Solo was originally written for Lea's Force ghost, but Carrie's passing made them talk to Harrison Ford and convincing him on returning for one last scene, even though in the Star Wars Universe, Jedi's talking to their dead relatives was not a thing. Still, for a lot of us fans, watching Han's character one last time was very emotional.
I loved Carrie Fisher and I was very saddened by her passing. All the things she revealed about herself in Craig Ferguson's show were fantastic. She was so fun, positive, amazing, in the face of addiction, bipolar disorder and lost memories due to electroshock therapy, a true inspiration for a lot of us who complain so hard in the face of mild disappointment.
"Now this is pod racing"... that had me cracking up so badly!;)
LMAO
You're gonna have a lot of negative comments here and I don't like this movie much but I'm still gonna give your video a watch.
Yeah..... I'm waiting for real hate comments 😭 Ill try not to cry too much
I hate this movie but I'm not going to hate people who feel differently about it.
@@VKunia Don't let them rob you of your joy. I am glad you loved the movie so much. It has it's issues but it also does a lot well.
@@VKunia No hate, but you only have so many tears in your life and you wasted quite a few on this film.
@To infinity and beyond... hardly better by a long shot. If it wasn't for the OT, there would never have been other trilogies. If you were a true Star Wars fan, you would be appalled at the treatment of beloved franchise characters, and any attempt to by others to change the franchise would be met with revulsion...like so many REAL fans were when this crap made it to the theaters.
Getting to watching you become immersed in this universe has been an absolute pleasure. Thanks for bringing us with you! I'm looking forward to joining you on more of your travels!
Also, I agree. Adam Driver did do a good job and Kyle was the most interesting character by the end of the series.
@MortalGamerDC1 85 did you come up with sad-ga all by yourself?
Imagine just how great a community you have on your channel that over the time it took her to watch all the films no one spoiled the ending and plot twists.
Rey stole Anakin's lightsaber, Luke's X-wing, Han's ship, sacred Jedi texts, Poe's droid, Kylo's Force abilities (no joke), their victory over Palpatine and the name Skywalker. She literally buried their legacy in sand. What an amazing freaking character, who just takes everything from original heroes without earning it...
There was a way they could have handled that delicately. Shame they didn't.
Well,..she is Palp's granddaughter you know.
@@lookingforwookiecopilot Good old Palps...
@@user-xx6vy9ri8p "Good" is a point of view. :D
Wow that's a dumb rant
im legit upset i cant see anymore of your star wars reactions. seeing it through your eyes again made me so happy and i straight up cried with you through this.
I think my favourite thing about The Rise of Skywalker is Chewbacca finally getting his medal. I didn't mind the kiss between Kylo and Rey, and I actually think they're both amazing characters. I just wish Kylo survived to make amends for his time as a villain.
For him to make amends wouldn't work with just about everyone in the Galaxy except Rey. He slaughtered many innocent people, and would likely be executed or gunned down.
"sOmEhOw PaLpAtiNe reTuRnEd"
Lmao it's because they had basically no plan for this trilogy, well except for the entire sequel trilogy George Lucas had already written that they kinda just ignored lol
I mean in fairness, he also wrote the prequels which are mostly terrible besides Revenge of the Sith, and even that has a number of flaws
@@DavidBennet most of the flaws of the prequels stem from it's dialogue, but that's redeemed itself in recent years due to them all becoming memes. The sequels fail because of their clusterfucky story and things like TROS' incessant use of mcguffins or Rian Johnson's awful use of Luke Skywalker.
@@Hans-hy5jp i mean thats a pretty shitty defense of a movie lol. It hasn't been redeemed because of funny memes. It's become a joke. But there's also some pretty bad acting, horrible CGI. and attack of the clones is horribly written as a whole. The sequels are flawed too, they have those issues too, but Lucas isn't perfect. At all. Theres no guarantee his trilogy would be any better than the shit prequels. Honestly if there was one person to put in charge, its not Lucas. Its Filoni
@@DavidBennet I think the CGI is pretty good for the time, and tpm apparently had more practical fx than all of the OT combined. But I agree Lucas wasn't perfect when creating the prequels, Filoni definitely helped save them with his contribution via The Clone Wars despite its rough start.
@@Hans-hy5jp To each their own, some CGI was certainly good, like Anakin and Obi-Wans duel, but a lot just looked like a shitty video game. Most of Yoda vs Palpatine is just bad for that reason. Its honestly in Revenge of the Sith that I have the problem with the CGI the most. Such as every clone troopers armor being CGI. It looks bad.
And to think, in the end - it was Jar Jar all along.
Before I saw the movie, I was hyped for more Palpatine, even if it undermined the whole saga. After I saw the movie, I wish I didn't get more Palpatine, and that they went with Darth Jar Jar instead.
Jar Jar Abrams.
And he killed sparky too! 😂
Palpatine returning bascially negates the entire 6 movie arc for Anakin. The chosen one was a bust.
No it does not. It does not take anything away from Anakins redemption. And its thanks to Anakin and Ben and Rey were able to stop Palpatine, which means Anakin was still the chosen one.
@@Morten_Storvik
Anakin doesn't bring balance to the force due to this change, that undoes a major point of the 6 movies.
You can't just say "Well persons ABC helped way after he was dead to achieve it"
@@MrXMysteriousX Anakin literally says "Bring back the balance, Rey-- AS I DID."
The point is that the balance will need to be brought back more than once, and each time a new chosen one will be able to do so. The prophecy itself is applicable to more than one occurrence. It talks about something being thought to be destroyed returning, hatching like an egg (the Sith in Episode I; Darth Sidious in Episode IX) and that an unusually powerful force wielder, of atypical birth (Anakin: born of midichlorian manipulation; Rey: born of a clone of Palpatine) would be the one to destroy this resurgence.
The Chosen One prophecy is intentionally up for debate in Star Wars lore to demonstrate how relativity can affect interpretation. The Jedi believed that the Force in its organic state was the light side, meaning that bringing balance to it required obliterating the dark. The Sith, and specifically Sidious, believed the opposite. The Mortis gods (and those who aligned with their interpretation, like the Bendu and, for a time, Luke Skywalker during his time on Ach-To) believed that light and dark needed to be equal to achieve true balance.
TL;DR - There are multiple ways to look at the chosen one prophecy and what it means to bring balance to the Force, even within the canon itself, but that doesn't undo the importance of Anakin's sacrifice in Episode VI. And that was the case before Episode IX and is still the case after.
@@Progger11 i'm not refuting his sacrifice was not important.
Obviously he saved Luke and in terms of himself redeemed himself.
However, he cannot be said to have brought balance to the force if Palpetine via clones etc was still around, likewise for Snoke and if its only temporarily balanced (which it was) its not worth having a prophecy about that part.It'd be about the end, namely Ben and Rey (the chosen two, if you will)
"Bring balance back to force like i did" was just JJs attempt at cutting off the real criticism he's undone the prophecy ahead of time and ignores what we can objectively see.
Did Anakin completely stop the Sith when it was 1-6 : Yes
Did Anakin completely stop the Sith 1-9 :No
Oh, i'm sure you'd go with "But Ben and Rey" but thats a continuation and a continuation tacitly admits it was NOT STOPPED, which means balance was never achieved.
You can't honestly expect an ancient prophecy was fulfilled regarding balance if that balance didn't last a considerable time likewise if the prophecy is you stopping something yet your grandkid actually did it, it'd be wrong to assume the chosen one was Anakin, it'd be about Ben or Rey and couldn't be about both anyway because "chosen one" specifically means one.
And as for your "the prophecy applies more than once" thing, thats just you pulling things outta your ass.
Prophecies apply once and you can't keep having "multiple chosen ones" the clue is the damn name "Chosen *ONE*
If it was meant as you describe the prophecy would be worded different.
So in 1-8s framework its either:
The prophecy was wrong
Or
Anakin wasn't the chosen one but Rey or Ben is (which would be moronic because 1-6 was written independent to them)
You can't square that hole dude, no matter how you play around with it to defend these trainwreck movies.
As for "keeping it balanced" Sure, keeping the force balanced would be an ongoing thing but its a world apart from being the one to balance it.
It's like Peace, yes ,we all do our part to maintain it but the hero had to get that peace and considering its "chosen one" not "everyone and their mother" you should admit the truth they messed with a key part of the lore and it can't be reconciled with the pre-existing prophecy of 1-6 even if they hang a lantern on the obvious by having Anakin address it.
@@MrXMysteriousX Thanks for reminding me why I rarely bother to engage with this fandom.
That was so fun to watch your reaction to that. You were on an absolute rollercoaster. When Kylo died and you threw your tissue, I laughed so hard haha.
There’s a video edit of Rey seeing the ghost of palpatine instead at the end and she kills the old lady 🤣
Lol!
I admire your honesty.
There were cheers in the theater, and I cried just like you did at so many moments. I understand that a lot of people have hate about the “Disney Star Wars movies,” but I don’t share it. They are different movies written by different people, and they will naturally have different emphases and impacts.
Love your channel
they didnt even know what to emphases cuz they changed the director from the first movie to the second and in the third one they changed it again. They didnt even write all the triology before starting the first movie, so there is a tons of things that doesnt make sense and things that one director made that the other just ignored.
VKunia, guess you'll have to watch the animated series now, The Clone Wars.
She’s currently watching Mandalorion so she will probably watch it along with Rebels
The best Will be the last
@@marcindziedzic9701 Really crazy order 😆. I’m a nineties kid so for me it was episodes 1 to 6, Clone Wars since it came out, Rebels, Mandalorian, back to Clone Wars and now Bat h
@@marcindziedzic9701 So you mean KOTOR and KOTOR II right?
* insert plankton YEEEESSSSS *
No ugly crying here. You always have a reason, affected by a beautiful or sad scene or maybe by a loss or surprise plot twist. Your emotions are always real. It's one of the reasons I love taking these journeys with you.
When I heard that the Emperor would return, I completely lost the interest in this film.
The Dark Side of The Force is a pathway to MANY abilities some consider to be..... unnatural.
(To be honest, I didn't MIND that part too much... but I would have liked SOME kind of hint/explanation for it)
I would have preferred Sideous return not spoiled in the trailer and events... and more critically NOT IN THE OPENING CRAWL.
Just have Kylo feeling a call to The Dark, finding the Sith map and following it to Exegol and a big reveal is Sideous would have been a much better start to this movie.
@@5353Jumper They had to come with something to draw Star Wars fans back in. After the disasterous reception to TLJ, and the financial flop of Solo, they're choice to revive Palpatine and all that was purely a "We need as much fan service as we can, because we've already sunk a shit ton of money into this trilogy, and need a payday."
I lost interest after I watched TFA.
@@Jollyroger84103 it was a misguided spoiler though, no one saw this movie because they were curious about how Sideous returned. Some as OP suggests did not see it in theaters for that reason.
Really if you take out the Sideous spoiler (make it a surprise reveal) and the knife being a map pointer at-ter thingie, and the "fleet cannot launch due to poor design" it could actually be a pretty good movie. (Side stepping the topic of incontinuity within the trilogy)
Rey being a descendant of Palpatine was an amazing twist
You now need to watch the SNL sketches of undercover boss with Adam Driver as Kylo Ren
Hilarious
I don't get how anyone can watch this movie and think: the plot is good.
The whole thing is a goddamn mess. They never bothered to plan the story ahead, and when they disliked what in my opinion is the only movie with enough balls to do its own thing as a Star Wars movie.... they retcon everything by throwing in bs nostalgia ("look everyone, it's the emperor. Yay right?.... Right?")
Not to count all of the: "Oh shit we've killed a money maker character, quick retcon it in the same movie by making it a fakeout."
And the whole: "Let's get them whatever power they need to make shit happen cause we didn't bother explaining and building up to anything."
None of the SW movies are exactly Oscar-tier scripts. They are fun "junk food movies" that have moments of brilliance sprinkled throughout an otherwise mediocre series. And that's absolutely okay. Could this movie have been better? Of course. But is it still competently made? Yes.
Only 7 seasons of Clone Wars, 4 seasons of Rebels and a season of Bad Batch to go.
Can she just watch the Umbarra arc, Seasons,5-7 of TCW, and the Vader vs Ahsoka scene already? lol
@@muatra3651 no lol
How can you omit the Star Wars holiday Special and the 2 Ewoks movies? They are way better than the Rise of Fauxwalker.
"I knew Kylo was the good guy..."
Sure...he slaughtered Luke's students because Luke attacked him, killed his father and his mother's friend because they reminded him who he is, was responsible for destruction of 5 planets, but he was a good guy...sure.
Repent and all is forgiven!
I mean, anakin did worse and made the right decision in the end.
@@camerapunk4109 That doesn't change that he was a villain.
Exactly. Kylo is not a "good guy." But you could argue that he's the protagonist of the trilogy. His dying in the end is appropriate.
@@Progger11 If he is the protagonist, who is his antagonist? Palpatine? He doesn't even fight him and decided to confront him only at last 15 minites...Rey? That's clearly not what was intended.
I’m so happy to see someone else genuinely enjoy this film. Kylo deserved better.
Kylo murdered SO many people. Just like Vader, there is no way he lives happily ever after.
@@mattmason8474 Yeah, he's not evil but he deserves nothing less than a death sentence. Vader however killed billions children and babies included.
The Skywalker family ultimately gave everything to save the galaxy. IMO it's only fitting that the name is carried on in tribute to the sacrifice that they all made. This was a phenomenal reaction.
I agree. And maybe in the future, instead of Jedi, we'll have an order of "Skywalkers".
It saddens me how much I hate this movie (along with the other Sequels, but this one above all others). I really really wanted to love them, and I'm glad some people can. But I just can't find any enjoyment out of them. At least the Prequels captured me by having interesting lore, expansive world building, and an emotionally gripping story about one of the most iconic characters in cinema, even if the dialog was sub-par at best. And I can't find any of that in the Sequels. Dialog isn't cringe worthy (most of the time), but the narrative is discombobulated, the world building is non-existent, none of the new characters have much in the way of character arcs, and the existing and iconic characters were hand-waved away as if their presence was detrimental to the plot.
Same here bro
its a cultural crime
EXACTLY
I think The Last Jedi is worse, but they might be equally terrible 😂 the only good “new” Star Wars film is Rogue One
@@TheArbiterOfTruth Respectfully, I disagree. I honestly think The Last Jedi was the best of the Sequels, and that's not saying much given how immensely I disliked it. It has lots of good scenes that, if taken completely out of context of the rest of the trilogy, Skywalker Saga, and Star Wars as a whole, would be great scenes. The part where Rey was seeing all the reflection was great (until they had her do a voice over). The scene where Leia dies was beautiful (until the Mary Poppins'd her). The bit where Snoke is reprimanding Kylo in the Throne Room was wonderful. And, as much as it destroyed the verisimilitude of the Star Wars universe, Holdo's Maneuver was easily the most visually stunning shot in all of Star Wars. But these individual scenes were absolutely destroyed by the rest of the film, in terms of the universe in which they exist, and the plot wherein these scenes are surrounded by.
So yes, The Last Jedi sucked. Sucked pretty hard. But at least there were a few scenes that are at least worth watching in and of themselves. The Force Awakens? Can you name a scene that is as good as any of the ones I mentioned from The Last Jedi? Maybe Han's death? Maybe Hux's Hitler-esque speech? I mean, the movie is basically a more poorly written but prettier version of A New Hope, but if I wanted a telling of A New Hope, I'd just go watch that. The Rise of Skywalker certainly doesn't have any scenes that are worth while. I couldn't stop myself from laughing out loud at multiple scenes that were supposed to be emotional, cringing at scenes that were supposed to be funny, and being absolutely bored out of my mind at the fetch-quest plot.
At least The Last Jedi tried to do something new. It failed, miserable, but A for effort and F for results. The Rise of Skywalker didn't even try to be good, just cramming in as much a fan service as they could into a 2.5 hour movie.
9:41 He lost control of his temper and forgot about his plans to turn her to the dark side instead of killing her, according to the film's novelization. It was only after the crash that he realized this, and made a greater effort to keep his anger in check so as to not kill Rey in a fit of rage.
It was also because he was trying to push her and see what her power was capable of
Honest to god your commentary makes this movie actually digestible god bless you!!
*your
LMAO Thank you Tristan that means a lot ❤
I, too, enjoyed watching this so much more with Vicky. Also, that the movie was just 30 minutes this time might have been a factor.
@@tristramcoffin926 I enjoyed it the first time at the cinema. When I saw where they were going at the start I just switched off my brain and went with it - and I had a fun time. Thats the best way I find to approach the sequels.
It is a good movie if you don’t go in with too many fan-based ideas on where you want it to go.
It has plot holes and some over the top aspects, but so do all of the movies.
Star Wars is NEVER over. Here is the Jedi who talked to Rey you will soon meet.
- Ahsoka Tano
Anakin Skywalker’s apprentice. She is a Togruta from the world Shili. She came a LONG way from the Battle of Christophsis, the Jedi Temple Bombing, and the Siege of Mandalore. After Order 66 and the rise of the Empire, she went by the codename “Fulcrum” and gave restricted Imperial information to the Rebel Alliance. She faced Vader on Malachor and realize the truth. But that won’t be the last Tano-Skywalker reunion.
- Luminara Unduli:
A Jedi Master from the planet Mirial, she is a devoted general in The Clone Wars.
- Kanan Jarrus
At age 13, Jedi Padawan Caleb Dume is forced into hiding after Order 66 is declared. He changes his name to Kanan Jarrus and decides he will take a stand to the Empire.
- Aayla Secura
A Twi’lek Jedi Master from the planet Ryloth, she is a courageous Jedi who served in The Clone Wars.
- Adi Gallia:
She is a Tholothian Jedi Master from Tholoth. She aided Generals Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi on some occasions.
Your referring to Palpatine’s throne room at the Sith Citadel as “Grandpa’s house” is sending me! 🤣🤣🤣
VKunia, Palpatine had this all planned out the events of the Prequels was him seeing if cloning was possible and it was his way to get into power, the events on the Original Trilogy was his rule, and the Sequels were him coming back into power but failing, he was behind the entire saga
Which is perfect, be it by design or accident.
Agreed. Hate it or love it, it actually makes sense for Palpatine to come back as it makes him the unifying main antagonist of the entire SW from start to end. All 3 trilogies end with him as the main villain.
29:21 - I know I'm in the minority here, but about Rey being a Palpatine, it was ironically made possible by TLJ in terms of showing how naturally drawn she was to the dark side during her entire time on Ahch-To. She wasn't merely tempted by the dark side, but rather felt a strong natural inclination to it.
you're not alone. I think that the last Jedi is too underrated. it's not perfect (not at all) but I kinda liked it. even the "fallen jedi master" depiction of Luke. his inner conflict, his ghosts, his melancholy and pessimism. it was a bold move, to play such a risky game with such an iconic character
This film was fundamentally not designed for people who were fans of the first two films of this trilogy. So much of it is just bad faith backpedaling on all the best parts of TLJ.
That's only if you didn't like them to begin with. I loved them all and see nothing that is "backpedaling" or out of character.
Luke backpedals during Episode 8. He does the very thing he said he wouldn't, "go out with a laser sword and stare down the entire First Order".
There's no backpedaling.
@@WesMordine It appears you and I have _very_ different reads on these characters and the series as a whole, so I'll leave it at that.
As someone who has been a fan for decades and loves the OT & somewhat enjoys the prequels, I really liked this trilogy. 9 was disappointing but watchable and I loved 7 & 8.
@@WesMordine well, he did that because HE CHANGED his mind, and decided the Jedi musn't die after all. The idea of him arriving at that prior conclusion, after one catastrophe, and then being disappointed, it seems, in what he leaned of the early Jedi, is more the sticking point, though. That and staying away, so long.
Seems like all the directors had ideas on why Luke went into hiding, didn't SHARE them, or were not asked, to, by Eiger and others.
Anyway, I DO LIKE a lot of TLJ, as it turns out, but it is still not as clever a story as it purports to be, and misjudged some deliveries/concepts.
We inherit new messes with TROS in contrast, including why Yoda, Anakin or others never told Luke about Palpatine still living, say. That an Anakin playing no role, in the finale, even as a spirit.
@@chrissonofpear1384 Anakin does play a role! He is among the Jedi who join Rey to defeat Palpatine once and for all.
It is not Rey alone defeating Palpatine, its "all the Jedi", which is a literal verbatim quote of what is said, implicitly and explicitly.
Do you know someone who has had a serious case of Depression, or have you suffered from Depression yourself? When one falls into that dark pit, logic goes out the window. Everything is black and there is no hope, and you become unable to act. Sometimes you can't even get up from bed. I have, so maybe its more relatable to me and I understand what Luke went through because of it.
Also, the idea of Luke being a hermit away from civilization is one of the story bits that came from George Lucas himself, and was already established when Episode 7 was made.
In regards to TLJ not being as smart as it thinks it is... I think that's our own fault. We grew up with these films, but forgot they're not supposed to be scrutinized so harshly. Because, as their original creator said, "they are simple morality tales for 13-year-old kids".
I love all of them. I focus on the good. I find things that could have been handled better OF COURSE (like TROS' runtime. 15 minutes more could have given it a much better phase and room to explain some of its ideas more), but hey... none of them is perfect. Not even Episode V.
10 mins: "Is she that strong, how is she able to manage in a short time?"
Look up the dictionary definition of Mary Sue.
To be fair, Luke was a Mary Sue as well but the original series upper limits on "The Strongest Jedi there is" increased about a billion fold in the last 40 years. Each incarnation of Star Wars has the same power scaling problem that most media have where each successive villain and hero that defeats them needs to be more powerful than the last.
@@parker469a incredible, every word you just said, was wrong.
@@thanospope704 So we're not counting the gods in the animation or the "Real Sith" from The Old Republic?
I suggest you look up the definition yourself, because clearly you have no idea what it actually means. A Mary Sue or Gary Stu is when an author creates a self-insert character that has no flaws, is perfect in everything they do, is loved by everyone else in the story, and only fails at the faults of others, not through their own faults. Tommy Wiseau's character in the famously terrible movie The Room is a true example of this. Rey, on the other hand, has plenty of flaws and plenty of failures and struggles that occur because of her own flaws. Just because she learned cool Jedi powers without an 80's training montage doesn't make her a Mary Sue and people really need to stop misusing this term so much.
Can't believe almost no reactors notice Wedge is back 😞
Wedge always being overlooked:( But he the goat
If you haven't read the books about him or seen a scene he's in within the last week, Wedge makes very little impression. Especially on casual fans or first time watchers.
It's because real fans didn't watch this film.
Actually I thought it was Anthony Daniels (C3PO)
I really hate to be so negative, but I really don't like The Rise of Skywalker, and it's probably my least favourite film in the saga. To be fair, there are some good aspects to it, in particular the action, visual effects and the performances (especially Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley), but there's so much about the film that sadly falls flat.
Palpatine's return means that the ending of the original trilogy ends up meaning nothing, not to mention that there's no explanation given. Retconning Rey to be Palpatine's granddaughter ends up undoing one of the best creative decisions made in The Last Jedi. In general the constant feeling that this film is trying to undermine its predecessor results in this film's story feeling underbaked and honestly kind of mean-spirited. All the main characters of this film end up getting no significant development or characterisation of their own, and are often left with nothing left to do (John Boyega and Kelly Marie Tran deserved so much better), and ultimately serve no purpose but to elevate and bolster the original trilogy heroes.
That said, I am glad that you enjoyed it. It'd be a pretty boring world if we all agreed about everything wouldn't it?
Could not agree more with you on this. Love that she enjoyed it, but as a big fan of Star wars this movie along with the 2 other sequels was dissapointing
"I really hate to be negative..." Then don't. You have freewill
@@bigouncee Why are you people pretending that the movies took away from Anakin`s redemption? It did not. Hell, Palpatine came back in Legends as well well before the Disney movies.
It doesn’t undo anything from episode 6. Anakin’s redemption wasn’t to kill Palpatine, it was to save his son.
In the Legends books, there’s always a Palpatine clone dormant somewhere ready to pop up when it’s plot convenient. I would have like it to be built up better, but I’m actually glad Palpatine was the big bad. He was the puppet master behind everything since episode 1 (chronologically), he makes sense that he was still pulling strings to see the end of the Skywalker bloodline.
@To infinity and beyond... Holy moly, you're so cringey.
Awww. I wanted to see her reaction to Chewy learning about Leia's death.
This may sound weird, but thank you so much for sticking true to your feelings and weather you like or dislike these movies. The Star Wars community can be a little bit scary for how they hate on people for their opinions. Weather someone dislikes or likes any of the star wars movies is fine, and there are valid points to like or dislike them. But the community can be very hateful, and even how they told you to try and avoid this trilogy by Disney. Thank you for standing strong and being awesome and just enjoying a viewing experience. Also your commentary is just fantastic! Also your editing is just perfect, Well Done!
I think Ben's redemption was like Janja's in The Lion Guard season 3 premiere, and Ben's Sacrifice was just like what Darth Vader did. Ben chose to sacrifice himself to save Rey.
you have no idea how much this reaction warms my heart. as someone who really likes this movie and all the sequels it's disheartening to have the majority of discussion about them be negative. i'm glad you enjoyed the movie like i did you really made my day.
Yikes 😬
"She looks like she's in Daft Punk" lol she really does. I enjoyed this reaction much more than the actual movie.
5:43 There you have it, folks. The ultimate answer to every question in this trilogy: ''Somehow...''
People are going to come into here and be negative, and to a degree they have a point. There were way too many things going against it (Carrie's death, the negative reaction to Last Jedi and the apparent active attempt to push back against it, the reason they brought back Palpatine and linked her to Rey, the fact that they had to spend time in supplementary materials trying to make it all work when it oh so very obviously doesn't) that it was always going to fight an uphill battle.
Or simpler: some fans didn't get their own dream movie or was too deep in expectations/past memories so they can't stop butthurting and spreading hate everywhere like a small babies who didn't get a candy. Usual stuff, not worth to take it seriously. If you check IMDB or something you can see that literally every episode have their own group of haters.
@@J0rdan912 I don't even know what my ideal sequel trilogy would look like, just that it wouldn't resemble the inconsistent mess we got. I'm never someone who critiques something based on what it isn't, I do not allow expectations to control how I feel about the merits or lack thereof for any film. TFA was derivative, TLJ needed a script doctor, TROS was written by a committee trying to maximize pandering without care to the characters or meaning to their actions.
I don't have "my ideal sequel trilogy" in mind and I didn't have any expectations other than I hoped that the movies wouldn't be garbage. Unfortunately, the trilogy indeed turned out to be horseshit. But hey! At least it's finally over now. They seriously need to come up with some better stuff in the future. :)
@@TigerNightmare It's always was inconsistent. Episodes 1-4-7, 2-5-8, 3-6-9 feels same for me. And in my book 2-5-8 was the weakest movies. But I know people who absolutely loves second movies in every trilogy. Mine favorites are first episodes, while most of my friends loves thirds. As always it's just a matter of taste.
The thing I find the most touching in the final trilogy is that the part of Lieutenant Connix was played by Billie Lourd. She is the real life daughter of Carrie Fischer so she has the memory of being able to work with her mother on her last project that featured her as her breakout character. It's a nice memory for her to have of her mother.
"I don't understand how she has managed to perfect so much..." The Power of Mary Sue is strong with this one.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Rey being a Palpatine being unexpected... I'm pretty sure someone in the writer's room pulled that out of their ass at the last moment. 😆. Because in one of the earlier movies Kylo told her her parents were nobodies.
I shit you not, that's exactly what happened! It changed numerous times, even in the middle of filming. I recall Daisy Ridley saying Rey was a Kenobi, a Skywalker, a nobody.... & finally, a Palpatine.
And you believed him. The bully, Kylo Ren who practically talked his father into stabbing himself and was a millimeter away from proton torpedoing his own mother... and you fools took his word. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
John Williams hints that he thought she was a Palpatine with her theme mixing well with the Emperor's theme, and that she was linked to Kylo too. Seems the only person who knew the story from the off, was the composer!
"Somehow..... Palpatine has returned."
Came here for that look, and was not disappointed.
Man, what could have been.
"Children...have you ever heard the tragedy of the Disney Star Wars sequels? Disney owned enough IPs to actually CREATE piles of money...but could not spend a fraction of their treasures on a storyline supervisor. How ironic."
Keep crying about it. The sequels were amazing.
@@Stryk3r300 Mmmk. I'm sure the majority of SW fans totally agree.
The series like Star Wars Rebel, The Mandalorian and Bad Batch is good but the sequel trilogy.. not so much
@@riduanaqil1452 That's about right. I like the Mando show more than any of the actual prequel movies.
@@sourdough_ak998 they do agree. Just that the negative people are the most vocal because they’re a little to angry
"Rey, he's busy, hit him" 🤣🤣🤣
J.J. Abrams admitted there were no plans for this trilogy.
Give me the direct quote in which he admitted that. He actually said, _"I do think there's nothing more important than having a plan."_
Peter Jackson had no plan completely set in stone when he made LOTR either. That`s kinda detrimental to creativity. Which is kinda important when creating an adaption.
@@Morten_Storvik Unlike the LOTR films, the Star Wars Saga films are not adaptions. They are original works.
No plan and no vision. The original trilogy also never had a complete plan, but what it did have that this trilogy didn't was a vision.
@@kringerman396 How do you know both trilogies weren't 'completely planned'? What's the difference between a plan and a vision?
Honestly I’m so happy to see that I wasn’t the only person that legitimately enjoyed this film for what it was
Me tooo... I thought it put a good end on the saga starting in 1977. I never could have guessed how it would all work out in my most psychic dreams.
It's a huge misconception that Mark Hamill hated Episode 8, when infact he loved it.
He mentioned that during production he didn't understand Rian Johnson's methods with Luke, but after he watched the final cut he expressed his love for the final product and endorsed Rian's vision.
Hm. I didn't know that. Interesting.
Disney made him change his mind, its literally in their contract not to bring the movie down with negative comments
While IX does have some pacing issues, and it needed a better setup from the previous movies, I do really like IX. I really love the contrast between the light and dark in this movie (light side = self sacrifice/healing and dark side = stealing life force).. and I especially loved the redo of that scene from VII with Ben and Han, where he got a chance to make the right choice.
It’s so sad because TFA set the trilogy up perfectly but with the director changes, the trilogy was doomed. RJ took an entirely different turn with TLJ and Abrams tried so hard to undo some of the stuff he did and also did things that seemed like fan service like Rey and Kylo kissing and Chewie finally getting his medal. I still enjoyed the trilogy especially TFA but so much more could’ve been from it
@@DDDiego Still TFA had a lot of problems due to episode 6 too and it was way too reliant on nostalgia
@@DDDiego I think the biggest issue with 7/8/9 is down to the producers treating them as separate films rather than a trilogy. They should have ensured there was an overaching plan for all three before it was even started, so whoever directed 8 would know what plot points they needed to cover by the end of their film, and which things couldn't be changed because they were needed for 9. The MCU have effectively been doing that for years so it's hardly a novel concept.
Like I said in the Force Awakens: pleasing series to the eyes, but when you start asking questions, the luster fades real quick.
They did Finn dirty. He had no character arc at all. Flipped flopped from scared to vengeful to completely useless.
Agreed. I think they decided mid-TFA to un-kill Po, which I think caused him to eat Finn's screentime despite Finn having much more interesting potential, which they only started to get at in this one with him finding the other ex-stormtroopers.
I will never accept the star wars sequels as canon. They go against everything George Lucas had set up. There are so many things that, on a surface level seem like a love letter to star wars fans, but contradicts several plot devices from earlier movies and straight up canned parts of the established lore. The three movies are more or less a copy-paste of the original trilogy but without care for the franchise or it's legacy. All this and they had to defile the cast from the original trilogy by killing them off in terrible and disrespectful sequences.
This trilogy is blue balls. Started off good then somehow Palpatine. Wtf
7:54 "Now this is pod racing" lol
This movie actually works really well with The Last Jedi. I know TLJ is a huge bummer, but the highest highs of both TFA and TRoS only work because of the lows and tests TLJ present. You have to remember, Luke learns of the real horrors his father committed (younglings, innocents) before becoming Vader (and the realities of the Jedi that failed him) while dealing with Ben, AND Palpatine influencing him just like Anakin with self fulfilling visions. So much of this film works because TLJ sets it up.
I love both, they are kind of antithetical of each other, TLJ asks why things are important while TRoS is the answer. I think they are like the epilogue to the original trilogy. Like when the hobbits in the book return to the Shire after destroying the ring and Saruman had set up shop; it's like their own personal test of how do we know we are safe after our heroes are gone.
Palpatines return has been in the backstory for decades. it's first not so subtly hinted at in RotS with his Opera storytelling with Anakin. "the dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some would consider to be unnatural" is a direct callback to that. So it's Sith Cloning. The Clone Wars, Bad Batch, Rebels and Mandalorian have all explored various aspects of what that means. It's all really cool.
I agree. Upon rewatching the entire ST, I see TROS as acknowledging, enhancing, and fulfilling everything TLJ started and established. Wasn't noticeable initially due to TROS' breakneck pacing. Didn't see anything as being retconned. Also, too many viewers actually forgot how TLJ started and ended they piled on TROS for seemingly trying to "undo" TLJ.
Personally, it was a mistake making rey a palpatine because i wanted her to be a nobody. No important family, just Rey.
@@19Rena96 I see both Skywalker and Nobody as true. Rey Palpatine is not true to her in any way other than arbitrary blood (which is only something Nazi types think that power comes from blood). She is a Skywalker in her Legacy, but to herself she is Rey Nobody. To her she is just the same as Finn Poe and that old woman that comes to the farm at the end (that I am assuming is Cammie). She carries on the Skywalker legacy and brings that to all which is kind of the point of the whole franchise. It really says that any nobody can be a mighty powerful Jedi and that is far more powerful a message IMO.
And that is very intentional, if you think she is meant to be Palpatine, that honestly says more about the opinion holders integrity to read a story than anything. Her father was cast aside and became nobody, Rey was even further removed and nobody knew who she was. Stripped of all name, Palpatine's only true legacy in Rey is the false self doubt that fascists' cling to in order to kill your soul..
"Luke learns of the real horrors his father committed (younglings, innocents) before becoming Vader (and the realities of the Jedi that failed him) while dealing with Ben"
Wait, did I miss something?????
I am sure that there are going to be a lot of negative comments, and I just wanted to say that I’m glad that you enjoyed episode 9, even if I hate the sequel trilogy. One of my main criticism of the sequels is that they are aimed at the casual audience, and that they mainly ignored the hardcore fan base. One of the best things about Star Wars is the fact that it’s an entire galaxy with its own unique history, reading and watching the evolution of the society was always a delight, but with the sequel trilogy, Disney settled with having a bunch of lightsabers, cool ships and explosions without expanding the universe and lore. The way events transpire in the sequels is illogical, to me there is no sense of progression, things seen to happen just because they do, and we aren’t really given an explanation, and while Disney did try to clear things up in my opinion it just made things messier. Fortunately, Disney seems to be moving in the right direction with the franchise and I’m excited to see what’s next
@To infinity and beyond... mediocre troll bait... hold the L!
@To infinity and beyond... Just accept it. The sequels were an absolute joke and a disappointment regardless of your subjective opinions. How can you possibly judge others when you mostly favor a trilogy that was not planned out whatsoever? The sequels were full of so many plot holes whether you believe it or not. Quit being a baby and stop judging someone for simply just commenting their own opinion. Disney took such an amazing franchise and threw it right in the bin. Get your head out of your a**
@To infinity and beyond... Clearly you're the fake star wars that doesn't care about the prequels🤷🏾♂️
@@genethebook4213 obvious troll is obvious. And sad...😪
@To infinity and beyond... You will 'literally eat another person alive' if they don't choose their words more carefully? Are you trying to antagonize others or discredit yourself?
5:45 perfect reaction to “somehow Palpatine returned”
One of the most lovely reactions I've ever seen to this movie. The Skywalker family would be proud of you.
May the Force be always with you, VKunia.
My "friends" ditched me the night of the release of 9. ( I have seen Ep 1-3 and 7-9 on their opening nights.) I have been following your star wars journey, and I finally got someone to experience the finale the same way I did. I can't thank you enough. Signed, a Star Wars nerd.
I feel the same way man!
Fun fact. "the pod race scene" in thus movie. Is actually made of reused footoge of the actual podrace scene of episode 1.
I've never heard that anywhere. Do you have a source?
@@phillyskyguy9535 yes all around the internet
"I really want to find out who Rey's parents are and how she's a Jedi."
I mean, who her parents are shouldn't have anything to do with her being a Jedi. Force sensitive children were born to parents who weren't Force sensitive, and the Jedi would come and say, "Hey, your child has the gift. You should let us raise them instead." And then they never saw their parents again because attachment is bad.
...
Luke was right: the Jedi kinda suck.
Force/magic users suck. Their kind should be purged at birth.
The Jedi had an incredible track record. The amount of Jedi that were a force for good vs the ones that turned to the dark side is incredible and something that should be respected. This awful take that the Jedi are the problem makes ZERO sense.
The Jedi had rules for a reason and George was crystal clear about it. The Jedi Council refused to train Anakin but - in a demonstration of flexibility - the Council accepted to train the boy and the moment they allowed Anakin in, ignoring the rule that he was too old, he destroyed the Jedi Order. The rules were there for a reason.
There is no need for parentage in order to be a Force-wielder, yes, but Rey needed proper training before she started defecating all those Jedi techniques and powers, but that is the garbage writing of these fan sequels, it can't be helped.
This movie is beautiful. Ben finished what Anakin was trying to do with Padmé and save the one he loves. The secret of eternal life Palpatine was looking for, is compassion and love: That's what Ben did. The Emperor failed and he was going to fail forever. The Skywalker family destroyed him turning his heir into the last Skywalker. ❤👏🏻✌🏻 So glad you love this film.
“….Unlimited Power!!!!”
“He was a power so strong, he learned to create life. He also found a way to keep those from dying” (paraphrasing)
~ Palpatine, “Revenge of the Sith”
In extended canon, Palpatine created clones so that he could continue his rule forever. None of them could contain his spirit and power though. When he was killed by Vader, he transferred to one of these clones. Another of these clones, Palpatine set free to continue the bloodline, and this is Rey's father. Rey had the power to take Palpatines spirit, and so when he summoned them back, imperfect clone-dad defected and set her free.
i discovered this channel a few days ago. Ive binged watched alot of your reactions. I love them Im glad theres someone like me who gets emotional and cries. Your reactions are so genuene and adorable!
Poor Oscar Isaac looks like he wants to die when has to say that awful line " Somehow Palpatine returned".
Rae is the emperor now, as he said kill me and i will inhabit you. She total steals everything from Luke his sunset, his farm and his name.
they should have made her eyes shift yellow as she said Rey skywalker and the force ghosts should have disappeared as palpatine's theme played
Then 10, 11, and 12 could have been about Finn and Poe trying to save her and get palpatine out
a cool thing about palpatine is that its the same actor in all the movies, old ones, prequals and sequals, Ian McDiarmid , he is 79.
Don't let anyone talk you out of loving this. I suspect some people will try. Your reactions are funny and seem so heartfelt. Keep up the great work.

The sequels aren't my fav but I still enjoyed them. Please don't let a lot of the negative comments change how you feel. I absolutely loved your reaction and how you accept that she is a skywalker. A lot of people don't accept it and can be jerks about it. I love your videos and reactions....now keep on with the clone wars, rebels, bad batch lol. The animated episodes are short so you can do like 3-4 at a time in one video if that helps.
"Rise of Skywalker" More like Fall of Skywalker, Rise of the Mary SueWalker."
Chewie breaking down upon learning of Leia's death just damn killed me. All his humans were gone! (his first ones anyway)
Your reaction at 13:53 is absolutely perfect because it almost seemed forced and genuine at the same time and I love it lol 😂
It's not "undoing" Ep VIII it's called "Character development" Luke realized he was wrong by the end of The Last Jedi, NOT in this movie.
These are all good movies about the skywalkers trauma when you step back.
17:05 this isn't undoing Episode 8, it's a natural progression. Luke realized the fault in his ways by the end of Ep 8 after all of his time with Rey, and then a lesson from Yoda about failure, and finally after his sacrifice to help the Resistance escape.
This is Luke coming full circle and helping Rey to learn from HIS mistakes, she's literally about to repeat his mistake of running away to the island out of a fear over his/her influence on the galaxy as a powerful Jedi. His is from what happened with Ben, hers over the Palpatine legacy and how she just almost killed Chewie and Ben/Kylo.
If anything this particular story beat is a pretty good continuation of the themes and plot from Last Jedi rather than any sort of redo.
I think it’s done poorly as a continuation. They should have divided this movie in two parts so they can actually portrait many of the intended scenes to make this movie digestible.
Perfectly put... I love people who get this
100% agreed. TROS continued, enhanced, fulfilled, and redeemed all of themes, ideas, and story choices made in TLJ, even if the execution is flawed. Not noticeable the first time due to the breakneck pacing. Many fans completely and blatantly misread and misinterpreted the events of TLJ and failed to notice how TROS actually followed up on every single aspect of TLJ so well. All these accusations of TROS exercising damage control against backlash towards TLJ and "course-correcting" TLJ in an effort to "appease the toxic fandom and whiny fanboys" completely miss the mark of exactly what TLJ, especially its final act, was conveying: that "let the past die" is NOT the theme of TLJ and that everything that is relevant to the saga (Jedi-Sith dichotomy, Rebellion-Empire conflict, Chosen One mythos etc.) still matters in the end. Both Abrams and Terrio have even gone on record saying that the bold choices Johnson made in TLJ actually encouraged them to be bold with TROS' story and motivated them to embrace and expand on the themes and ideas Johnson raised. A fact very evident upon rewatching the ST again and again and paying attention to all the important details.
You can love those movies... but don't make esoteric claims to make some sense out of it. It was a reactionary response to 8 backlash, everyone knows this.... even people at Disney acknowledged the unplanned nature of the sequels.
even if it WAS unplanned.
Kylo probably has the best character and story arc in the entire sequel trilogy.
That throw of the Kleenex was priceless and so hilarious in that moment, like I can’t take it anymore!!! Lol
i thought it could not get worse after "The Last Jedi", but "The Rise Of Skywalker" just made it. The whole sequel trilogy is an example on how not to make good movies. I will never watch any of them ever again.
Honestly I agree with you on most points. 100% Kylo should have lived.
The Last Skywalker should have lived in the Rise of Skywalker, but Disney love subvert your expectations ;)
he's a tragic character, his death is a better ending. had he survived, we would have had a "happily ever after" ending with Rey, ironically a "Disney" ending
"Somehow Jar Jar is a Sith Lord..." Would sound more realistic to the lore.

when I first saw it I cried, it was just so cool to see people want to help like that. I love star wars. May the force be with you all!
A big thank you to all you Disney Star Wars sequel trilogy supporters. You guys helped ruin The Star Wars franchise along with Disney. There are 2 Star Wars fan groups. one group supports George Lucas and are fans of George Lucas and his 6 movies. The other group is the Disney Star Wars supporters. That supports the crap that Disney puts out. Us George Lucas fans and supporters are not putting up with the crap that Disney is putting out, so that's why Lucas films is only worth a quarter of what it was worth back in 2012 when Disney bought Lucas films. Disney needs money so bad that they are selling parts of the company. I hope that Lucas films is one of the things they are selling and whoever buys it. I hope they get rid of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Because if they don't then they are just buying a company that's not gonna be worth anything.
This vid is a year old but I wanted to say thank you for your optimistic opinion on this movie, I watched it again since and have a new appreciation and have even started a lot of the series I hadn’t wanted to watch because of this reaction and I’m glad I did.
Thank you !
22:20, it doesn't surprise me that Sidious is that powerful! He is literally a 117-year-old Sith Lord. He spends all of his free time practicing his force abilities.
