@@Space_Devil - That, to me, isn't really an issue. That just points to technological progress. It's like how computers used to take up entire rooms, but now we carry cellphones that dwarf the computing power that NASA used to get to the Moon. They just found a way to make their power source smaller and more efficient. But what I find funny is that it wasn't even an original idea. Apparently, the ships equipped with Death Star lasers appeared in the books Disney declared non-canon after buying the series. I remember hearing about them years before the movie came out. The idea of a planet-destroying laser still seems very impractical to me. But then again, I could say the same about the ridiculously powerful and numerous nuclear weapons multiple countries store away in real life. Will the new republic develop their own Death Star lasers? Will feuding planets think twice about crossing each other, lest they risk mutually assured destruction?
@@TheZeroNeonix In Legends, Palpatine's flagship Eclipse has a superlaser. I'm not sure if it's strong enough to blow up a whole planet, but it did have one.
@@_MaZTeR_ The Eclipse was sooo cool, they could have done great things with that ship, it could not blow up a planet but what's the point of doing that anyway? Instead we get a fleet of modified Type I Star-Destroyers that ruin the whole idea of needing a massive battlestation to power the planet-destroying superlaser.
@@alkatron768 they are actually 500 meters longer than the normal Imperial-class star destroyer, but it would have been better if they were super star destroyers and made them crack the planets instead of just exploding them.
Though the sequels are indefensible, the Empire actually had plans for just such a fleet, using the Death Star II' laser once it was improved enough. Remember, the second Death Star could target individual ships, destroying them instantly. Then we're told in Rogue One that the Death Star could actually adjust the power of the laser this entire time, which is retarded and counter to the lore, but could still apply on thee vessels. Personally, I don't care that much any more because Star Wars is dead, but originally, this still could have been a thing.
There's so much more he could have off the cuff ripped on Palpatine during the reveal. Like "Well. If you made a new body, why is it still old and gross? Why not a new more fit body?"
And the hundres of thousands of storm troopers on those star destroys just all kinda mill about a bit for a while.... "Hey does er...anyone know how we get out of here?"
Really gotta appreciate that Palps specifically said he didn't want to rule over a dead galaxy and Disney made him create destroyers that would literally obliterate planets for fun
the worst thing about that plan is he handed every single random ship commander a super weapon. only takes one to turn on him via rebelling and thats exegol gone.
"But they have death star lasers!" "We kinda decided to stop doing that, theres only so many planets and quite frankly, as an empire, we want more territory, not less shit to conquer."
The idea is not to lay waste to the galaxy. The whole idea behind this, as well as the Death Star, is to have people afraid. Fear is what would keep them in line, and honestly a bunch of star destroyers is way more frightening than just one big station.
@@Yabuturtle How much did the maintenance of the Death Star costed at the time? Surely the cannon was eating a big part of the budget. So a whole fleet of star destroyers with planet destroying cannons must be even more expensive.
The loss of Aldebaran alone would cost the empire a significant chunk of income. I mean, it was pretty much a gaia planet. Losing a perfectly sized and habitable planet is really bad. You can't really do it again and again.
"But they all have deathstar lasers!" "Yeah, so what? I don't want to rule over a bunch of debris fields in space. One is fine, two even, but thousands? What if someone goes rogue and just starts blowing up planets? That's just overkill."

They did try. The problem was that they didn't plan where they wanted the story to go over the course of the trilogy and universally go towards that vision. JJ and Rian both had their own visions, and Rian went a different direction than JJ was planning. If they'd have had an end story in mind they agreed on, they wouldn't have had the story end up being so fragmented. Episode 8 undid a lot of what Episode 7 had built up, and so JJ had to salvage the story.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Carol Marcus the Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the augments would tell you. It's a Starfleet legend. Carol Marcus... was a scientist of Starfleet so powerful and so wise, she could use the Genesis effect to create... life.
@@Hei_Darkfire Palpatine somehow returning and invalidating the chosen one prophecy. The New Republic being the underdogs to some vaguely Empire-affiliated guys after the Empire supposedly self-destructed in Operation Cinder. The New Republic dismantling the insanely large military the Rebellion had built up despite the First Order being around somehow. Luke being a loser who abandoned the Jedi and his friends because his nephew had a bad dream. Luke even thinking about murdering his innocent nephew because he had a bad dream, despite never having given up on his genocidaire father previously. Snoke being thrown into the garbage bin because they obviously set him up as a mystery box but forgot to actually pay it off. Hux being a traitor despite ordering the destruction of Hosnian Prime and its millions or billions of inhabitants. Rey being more powerful and knowledgeable than anyone despite having lived all her life as a scavenger in a desert planet with no training. Rey stealing the name Skywalker despite being a Palpatine. The Second Death Star having broken pieces surviving despite very clearly having been vaporized. Holdo using a Mon Cal cruiser to hyperspace ram another ship, showing that everyone else is stupid for not having used hyperspace missiles for everything. Palpatine having the brilliant idea of following up two impractical superweapons with thousands of impractical superweapons, after the First Order had already built and lost its own copy of the original impractical superweapon. Need I really go on?
@@Alpha99333 Sounds to me like someone didn't watch the trilogy at all to understand it. If you had, maybe you would understand it. Also, everyone says Rey "is somehow stronger" than everyone else clearly hasn't seen the movies. That is not true at all. She has a lot of natural talent like Luke (she is meant to be the Luke of the new trilogy, and even borrowed the story structure of the original trilogy). She barely gets by in any situation, even after her training. In Episode 9, she is a little more experienced (like Luke was in Return of the Jedi), but she still hasn't tapped into her full abilities. Not only that, but when it comes to fighting, she actually does have experience fighting as shown in Episode 7 where she can fight using her staff. The whole trilogy is about her learning how to use it, and her biggest weakness is not being able to use it effectively. Even in 9, she can't do anything by herself until the very end, but even then, taking on Palpatine's force lightning showed her "borrowing" Luke and Leia's power when she was using their lightsabers (as it is implied in series like Clone Wars and Rebels that Jedi using each other's lightsabers gives them a boost in ability like they're borrowing ability from the owner of the lightsaber).
@@Hei_Darkfire How about you explain why any of the things I listed make sense instead of accusing me of not watching the movies? As for Rey, I disagree that she was like Luke. Luke went from a kid who needed Obi Wan to intervene for him in the cantina to a Jedi Knight after years of experience and time spent training with Yoda. Luke failed to lift his X-Wing from the swamp, so Yoda had to show him that it was possible. Luke lost to Vader at Bespin, and only beat him in Episode VI because he slightly gave into the dark side and Vader was conflicted over killing his own son. Then he got immediately blasted by Palpatine, and Vader again had to intervene for him. Rey immediately knows how to fight with a saber, which is vastly different from a staff. She knows how to fly spaceships, despite there being no indication that she ever flew on Jakku, whereas Luke was established as an avid T-16 pilot. She can utilize mind trick, even though Luke could barely even summon his lightsaber in the cave in Episode V. She defeats Kylo Ren, who should be even more dangerous as he is injured and drawing from the dark side. She defeats Luke, who has had decades of experience. She defeats Snoke's praetorian guards, despite being outnumbered and outclassed. And so on. The problem is that even though she "barely" gets by, she ultimately always gets by. She never fails, unlike Luke. And growth from failure is what makes an interesting character. As a final point, it's pretty telling that Disney had to borrow anything from the original trilogy, rather than making something new. Just further evidence of the general lack of creativity involved.
Its extra funny if you consider that the person saying "Moron" at the end is actually palpatine since kylo struck him down in anger. All the trashy plan was to egg him into thinking palpatine was stupid and didn't expect him to not take his bad offer and "unexpectedly" strike him down
It's most likely still Kylo, because the writing on IX was cringe. The whole 'If you strike me down, I'll possess you, my great-granddaughter' never happened or was shown in any form during the movie and felt just as most of the Palpatine-Final-Order-stuff like a really bad homage to the Dark-Empire books from Legends. It says a lot, when people have to guess on a few words uttered in Episode 9, that the whole process of cloning the Emperor and how he possesses bodies works like in the old Legends books, when in reality nothing was explained at all in the movies about it, because it's a plot J.J. 'Add-more-Lensflare-and-don't-explain-anything-just-make-it-look-unnecessarily-big' Abrams just shoe-horned it in last minute because Disney wanted to see Ian McDiarmid play the Emperor live again. Ian is a great actor and sadly his performance being the best among the cast of this movie says still a lot about how horrible the whole project went, I'm also glad he had apparently fun during the production of it. But they just threw in lines for the sake of giving him dialogue. Stuff like "I am all the Sith" , "I have been every voice inside your head" and "The Dark Side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural." either lack any sort of explaination to make them feel relevant or are just references to better movies created by George Lucas. So yeah, if Sidious can take over other people after getting killed, I've yet have to see it in Canon, because the only time when that happened was in Legends lore and nowhere else. It's just a pointless line into noone gave actual thought, because otherwise the movie wouldn't have ended the way it did. It's just Rey cutting down Palpatine without any visible consequences and that's it.
@@EmperorFawfulSupposedly the explanation is that Rey deflected the lightning, so he killed himself But that raises more questions as to why he said anything instead of letting her kill him Or why didn't he throw her down the hole with Kylo
If y'all ever read the book Darksaber, Palpatine was trying to do just that by bringing back Chief Engineer of the original Death Star after he killed him for the first failure. Galen Marek was considered his first success at cloning a force user.
@@jlev1028 fun fact: using "no one" enjoyed it as an all encompassing statement doesn't make your point more valid to the fact that cloning Jedi is a concept that's been around for 20 years and reintroduced into Force Unleashed under Lucas Arts. Personally loved "Darksaber" and it was one of the last things my grandmother gave to me before she passed.
"How did you manage to arm every ship with the facilities to operate a planet killing weapon?" "Oh, that was easy. We just had to remove some armor around the barrel, most of the shield generators for the power draw, and replace navigation equipment for targeting computers." "Wouldn't that make the laser a gigantic weak point? Can the ships still tell up from down?" "I don't see how any of that would be an issue."
I was like "Wait, you BURIED the Star Destroyers? Wouldn't some kind of cloaking field serve the same purpose? You are in a god damn sci-fi, so use it. And wouldn't it be bad for the various ship components? They are starships, I don't believe they are meant to be underground. Or what? Did you spend extra money to make sure they can remain there?"
One of the weirdest things about him to begin with is that he wants Luke to kill him which implies either A. He’s got a death wish and he’s crazy B. He had some evil trick set up that’s more than likely him body swapping if Luke kills him or something similar. Or C. Some combination of them both
I will never get over how colossally ridiculous the whole idea is that the Empire could continue sinking vast budgets into what had to be insanely expensive, high performance superweapons and other military expenditures without going completely bankrupt well before the Rebel Alliance, let alone the newer Resistance, even had a chance to start.
Could palpatine soul did not force project himself to possess Kylo and just take over the First Order alongside all the special ships and things he already built?
Fun fact: there’s a video of JJ Abrams basically laughing at this dumb plot with us, something like “If you guys think this was brilliant, I question your sanity.” Almost makes you wonder if he’s truly a fraud or the biggest mastermind that dangled the cookie in front of us to fill his pockets

3:53 love the FO technician outfit in the background, nice Easter egg
That ending is me when I play any multiplayer game, desperately trying not to die.
That hood reveal had me dead! Love the mix of movie footage with this story.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Carol Marcus the Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the augments would tell you. It's a Starfleet legend. Carol Marcus... was a scientist of Starfleet so powerful and so wise, she could use the Genesis effect to create... life.
Some knowledge some might say is unnatural....
i still find Palp funny in The Rise of Skywalker since all I see is a Halloween decoration
i will never forget how hard my friend and i laughed when the ten million star destroyers started flying around. comedy gold lol
My favorite part of this is Palpatines frankenstein hands xD Too good
im laughing really hard as he walk away and just says moron in that tone of my god shut up haha
The undercover boss costume on the wall when kylo is playing fortnite is a super nice touch ngl
4:38 the ugly cackling i let out
“Somehow… I don’t believe you”.
Haha. Swiss cheese has less holes than the sequel trilogy. The story makes absolutely no sense.
The story does make sense though. What exactly doesn't make sense?
@@Hei_Darkfire Any of it.
@@Hei_Darkfire Palpatine somehow returning and invalidating the chosen one prophecy. The New Republic being the underdogs to some vaguely Empire-affiliated guys after the Empire supposedly self-destructed in Operation Cinder. The New Republic dismantling the insanely large military the Rebellion had built up despite the First Order being around somehow. Luke being a loser who abandoned the Jedi and his friends because his nephew had a bad dream. Luke even thinking about murdering his innocent nephew because he had a bad dream, despite never having given up on his genocidaire father previously. Snoke being thrown into the garbage bin because they obviously set him up as a mystery box but forgot to actually pay it off. Hux being a traitor despite ordering the destruction of Hosnian Prime and its millions or billions of inhabitants. Rey being more powerful and knowledgeable than anyone despite having lived all her life as a scavenger in a desert planet with no training. Rey stealing the name Skywalker despite being a Palpatine. The Second Death Star having broken pieces surviving despite very clearly having been vaporized. Holdo using a Mon Cal cruiser to hyperspace ram another ship, showing that everyone else is stupid for not having used hyperspace missiles for everything. Palpatine having the brilliant idea of following up two impractical superweapons with thousands of impractical superweapons, after the First Order had already built and lost its own copy of the original impractical superweapon. Need I really go on?
@@Alpha99333 Sounds to me like someone didn't watch the trilogy at all to understand it. If you had, maybe you would understand it.
Also, everyone says Rey "is somehow stronger" than everyone else clearly hasn't seen the movies. That is not true at all. She has a lot of natural talent like Luke (she is meant to be the Luke of the new trilogy, and even borrowed the story structure of the original trilogy). She barely gets by in any situation, even after her training. In Episode 9, she is a little more experienced (like Luke was in Return of the Jedi), but she still hasn't tapped into her full abilities. Not only that, but when it comes to fighting, she actually does have experience fighting as shown in Episode 7 where she can fight using her staff. The whole trilogy is about her learning how to use it, and her biggest weakness is not being able to use it effectively. Even in 9, she can't do anything by herself until the very end, but even then, taking on Palpatine's force lightning showed her "borrowing" Luke and Leia's power when she was using their lightsabers (as it is implied in series like Clone Wars and Rebels that Jedi using each other's lightsabers gives them a boost in ability like they're borrowing ability from the owner of the lightsaber).
@@Hei_Darkfire How about you explain why any of the things I listed make sense instead of accusing me of not watching the movies?
As for Rey, I disagree that she was like Luke. Luke went from a kid who needed Obi Wan to intervene for him in the cantina to a Jedi Knight after years of experience and time spent training with Yoda. Luke failed to lift his X-Wing from the swamp, so Yoda had to show him that it was possible. Luke lost to Vader at Bespin, and only beat him in Episode VI because he slightly gave into the dark side and Vader was conflicted over killing his own son. Then he got immediately blasted by Palpatine, and Vader again had to intervene for him.
Rey immediately knows how to fight with a saber, which is vastly different from a staff. She knows how to fly spaceships, despite there being no indication that she ever flew on Jakku, whereas Luke was established as an avid T-16 pilot. She can utilize mind trick, even though Luke could barely even summon his lightsaber in the cave in Episode V. She defeats Kylo Ren, who should be even more dangerous as he is injured and drawing from the dark side. She defeats Luke, who has had decades of experience. She defeats Snoke's praetorian guards, despite being outnumbered and outclassed. And so on. The problem is that even though she "barely" gets by, she ultimately always gets by. She never fails, unlike Luke. And growth from failure is what makes an interesting character.
As a final point, it's pretty telling that Disney had to borrow anything from the original trilogy, rather than making something new. Just further evidence of the general lack of creativity involved.
Its extra funny if you consider that the person saying "Moron" at the end is actually palpatine since kylo struck him down in anger.
All the trashy plan was to egg him into thinking palpatine was stupid and didn't expect him to not take his bad offer and "unexpectedly" strike him down
@@BlazingOwnager He was all "OK Boomer" with it.
It's most likely still Kylo, because the writing on IX was cringe. The whole 'If you strike me down, I'll possess you, my great-granddaughter' never happened or was shown in any form during the movie and felt just as most of the Palpatine-Final-Order-stuff like a really bad homage to the Dark-Empire books from Legends.
It says a lot, when people have to guess on a few words uttered in Episode 9, that the whole process of cloning the Emperor and how he possesses bodies works like in the old Legends books,
when in reality nothing was explained at all in the movies about it, because it's a plot J.J. 'Add-more-Lensflare-and-don't-explain-anything-just-make-it-look-unnecessarily-big' Abrams just shoe-horned it in last minute because Disney wanted to see Ian McDiarmid play the Emperor live again.
Ian is a great actor and sadly his performance being the best among the cast of this movie says still a lot about how horrible the whole project went, I'm also glad he had apparently fun during the production of it.
But they just threw in lines for the sake of giving him dialogue.
Stuff like "I am all the Sith" , "I have been every voice inside your head" and "The Dark Side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural." either lack any sort of explaination to make them feel relevant or are just references to better movies created by George Lucas.
So yeah, if Sidious can take over other people after getting killed, I've yet have to see it in Canon, because the only time when that happened was in Legends lore and nowhere else. It's just a pointless line into noone gave actual thought, because otherwise the movie wouldn't have ended the way it did.
It's just Rey cutting down Palpatine without any visible consequences and that's it.
@@EmperorFawfulSupposedly the explanation is that Rey deflected the lightning, so he killed himself
But that raises more questions as to why he said anything instead of letting her kill him
Or why didn't he throw her down the hole with Kylo
this guys face works for every male star wars character.
But he was born to do kylo ren.
His anakin is my favourite but kylo is my second favourite impression.
If y'all ever read the book Darksaber, Palpatine was trying to do just that by bringing back Chief Engineer of the original Death Star after he killed him for the first failure. Galen Marek was considered his first success at cloning a force user.
Book came out in 1995. But stay mad.
Fun fact: No one liked those books. Resurrecting Sidious was always an awful idea, it's just that Dark Empire did it slightly better.
@@jlev1028 fun fact: using "no one" enjoyed it as an all encompassing statement doesn't make your point more valid to the fact that cloning Jedi is a concept that's been around for 20 years and reintroduced into Force Unleashed under Lucas Arts. Personally loved "Darksaber" and it was one of the last things my grandmother gave to me before she passed.
3:40 This same argument is valid for the stupid plot point in Captain America": Civil War with the buried helicarriers.
Valid points. Palps really should have been the one who told him how he returned. Having pippin say it was secrets only the sith knew felt so stupid.
This was better than the movie
I’ll have to take your word for it, since I checked out after the second one. From what I heard, yeah, this video was a rational take.
These skits literally show that good writing goes a very long way
was not expecting your art style in smiling friends
That was more entertaining then the entirety of Episode IX and it didn’t make me want to bleach my eyes afterwards
*(watches ad, then skit)*
I love StarGate.
Of course he took the deal! You think he's made of money? 😂
Fuck it, Disney just give Matt his own Star Wars trilogy. 😂
Disney doesn't own Star wars. The people own Star wars.
The first draft finally revealed.
Kylo is probably your best impresion and it also seems to be your favorite character since you put so much effort into him.
Palpatine flatly tells him he is still running everything and he's leader of fuckall with the defecit from breaking all panels.
0:10 There is no Omega Quadrant in the Milky Way. Alpha, Beta, Delta and Gamma. THEN Again who knows that's what's in the game buuuuut, I doubt it.
Maybe he meant the Omega sector. 🤷♂️
"How did you manage to arm every ship with the facilities to operate a planet killing weapon?"
"Oh, that was easy. We just had to remove some armor around the barrel, most of the shield generators for the power draw, and replace navigation equipment for targeting computers."
"Wouldn't that make the laser a gigantic weak point? Can the ships still tell up from down?"
"I don't see how any of that would be an issue."
64 second commercial is crazy
Big Smoke trained Kylo well at making his first order at Cluckin Bell.
a star trek ad for a star wars video not sure who got the short end
Sadly this is still WAY BETTER than what we got lol
I was like "Wait, you BURIED the Star Destroyers? Wouldn't some kind of cloaking field serve the same purpose? You are in a god damn sci-fi, so use it. And wouldn't it be bad for the various ship components? They are starships, I don't believe they are meant to be underground. Or what? Did you spend extra money to make sure they can remain there?"
Really nice job on the shading on the faces! They looked great while keeping your aesthetic
Who are the 10,000+ people piloting the ships?
Screenwriter Guy: Hey, shut up.
The 10,000 dead people in the ships
Cultists. They mention it in the movie.
How did you survive?
Death is a concept invented by the Jedi, I don't even know how to spell it.
The first time that I don't skip comercials ...😊❤
there's something about the "person stays alive through pure hatred" trope i love but they did it so dirty with this movie
Another excellent video, thank you :)
It’s cannon that there are interplanetary fornite serves in star wars and Kylo enjoys them in is free time.
The ancient game of fornite, played in a galaxy far far away
One of the weirdest things about him to begin with is that he wants Luke to kill him which implies either A. He’s got a death wish and he’s crazy B. He had some evil trick set up that’s more than likely him body swapping if Luke kills him or something similar. Or C. Some combination of them both
3:53 Undercover Boss confirmed
I will admit it was pretty metal when Palpatine raised a whole fleet of star destroyers
another awesome one. Subscribed.
Sooooo much better than the original movie
Funny as it is, it would have been a better way to set up the stakes and introduce clone palps instead of the whole "somehow he returned".
I will never get over how colossally ridiculous the whole idea is that the Empire could continue sinking vast budgets into what had to be insanely expensive, high performance superweapons and other military expenditures without going completely bankrupt well before the Rebel Alliance, let alone the newer Resistance, even had a chance to start.
Honestly pretty good palpatine impression.
Also, way to go, Kylo. You played right into Palps "Force someone to kill me so I could inhabit their body" plan.
Could palpatine soul did not force project himself to possess Kylo and just take over the First Order alongside all the special ships and things he already built?
Fun fact: there’s a video of JJ Abrams basically laughing at this dumb plot with us, something like “If you guys think this was brilliant, I question your sanity.” Almost makes you wonder if he’s truly a fraud or the biggest mastermind that dangled the cookie in front of us to fill his pockets
4:25 heh Smiling Friends type dialogue
Do you know me? I'm the one human on planet Earth who never played Fortnite and never heard of the connection.
