I've seen Star Wars Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker Reddit Spoilers Proven True or Not

[mdmost 43002]

My daughter thought it would be fun if it just became an endless loop of Rey dying and then Ben reviving her and then Ben dying and Rey reviving him. 

[Michael Knight 12981]

The pacing was just fucked, like slow down JJ jesus christ. He constantly makes the characters make stupid decisions because the visual looks cool. The Emperor story line was stupid and made no sense. There were some parts that worked and a lot that fell flat, like oops we killed chewie, just kidding hes alive. Lando felt forced and unnecessary. Keri Russells character was just silly. They were kind of dicks to 3PO and why even have Rose in the movie if they're just gonna give Finn a new girlfriend.

That said the movie looked great and the scenes with Kylo and Rey were the best parts, except for the kiss at the end. Thank you for your service JJ, never direct a movie in a franchise I like ever again please.

And stop having characters talk over each other. Better yet, we can go a few seconds without any dialogue. Let the movie breathe. 

But yeah that's more of a critique of Abrams movies in general.

[mdmost 43002]

I found it odd that really no one ended up with anyone else in the movie. Rey loses Ben. Finn seemed to just go "that's aight to Rose" and seemed awkward around Janna. Poe tried to get back with helmet girl but she gave him the Heisman. At least Chewie got a medal and Rey got a new lightsaber.

That's a great point. I left the theater thinking "I didn't really get to hear much music from John Williams in this." I know there was some, and some callbacks to old themes, but none of the new music has felt as iconic as some of the stuff in the originals, or even the prequels if I'm being honest. Maybe it's because I haven't watched the new trilogy multiple times like I have the originals, but I felt like I knew Duel of the Fates was fucking awesome the moment I first heard it.

[hornfan785 556]

Also, when the fuck did Palpy have a kid? It would have been around the same time Luke and Leia were born, right? Did he just impregnate some prostitute from Coruscant? Or maybe an intern who just wanted to fuck somebody powerful? I just think it's weird to throw in that he had a son and he NEVER mentioned it at all until the final chapter of the story. Whatever.

[Levi 2586]

We never got to see what Finn wanted to tell Rey but I think it is safe to assume he is force sensitive. Just another story we’ll never get to see. How cool it would have been to see an ex stormtrooper with force abilities. 

[Red Five 40859]

Seriously, did I miss a line of dialogue, or was the only explanation for Palpatine being alive one line from Poe, like "something something cloning"? I kept waiting for Palps to monologue it to Rey but I don't think he did.

Yeah that’s weird.  It wasn’t as if the Emperor shied away from exposition.  He sat there explaining every step in the Sith sacrifice ritual.

And another thing: why is there a Sith language? Sith is not an ethnicity or species.  And supposedly there are only two at a time.  Isn’t that a waste of time to learn a language you can only speak with one other person?

[Red Five 40859]

And now we’ve seen the movie, and it turns out that, uh, I’m still not really sure how Emperor Palpatine ended up in this movie. He’s not a ghost — he’s just still alive. And he claims that he “made” Snoke, as we see a shot of a cloning tube containing another Snoke body. And he’s got a huge fleet of Star Destroyers that have been hidden under the Exogol ice. And each of those Star Destroyers, apparently, is equipped with a planet-killing Death Star superlaser.

None of this is explained in any way. I guess we’re just not supposed to think about it too much.

This!  Plus, a big plot hole is Palpy had at least one child - where are they and why aren't they in line to succeed him?  Also, if Palpy had Rey's parents killed, doesn't that imply that he killed his own child?  Was this explained somewhere?  WTF?

Of course humans don't need helmets or oxygen to fight in space atop the deck of ship with a bunch of other animals that apparently don't require breathing.  And how many discarded ships are there that can just suddenly work?  And again with the air or maybe they're on planets that don't require oxygen so rust isn't a problem--like breathing.

The Sith ARE an actual race though, or at least they once were.  There's often confusion because there was an actual Sith race, and then we have the practitioners of the dark side that we also refer to as the Sith.  It's stupid, it's basically the same word for two different things (Although at one time I think there were many dark side practicing Sith and the rule of two was something they created later).

They did a call back to Revenge of the Sith.  I think Kylo asks "I thought you died?"  Palpatine responds with "The dark side of the force is a pathway that leads to many abilities some consider to be....unnatural."  I think we're supposed to glean that Palpatine used the force to save himself somehow.  It's a little hard to believe, but then again Maul survived getting cut in half in Phantom Menace and falling too.

I've thought about this bit some.  Palpatine became a necessary evil for Rise of Skywalker (pun intended).  When Johnson fucked up the Snoke character by killing him off early, it left a power vacuum for antagonists going into the last film.  We had two established bad guys:  General Hux and Kylo.  We find out that Hux was a spy of sorts, and honestly he would have never made a good primary antagonist for the film because of his weak nature, so he's out.  Kylo is out too, because he was set to get his redemption arc which they teased from the very first movie.  That left no possible antagonists for a climax with Rey.  So, Abrams really only had two options:  create a new antagonist out of thin air, or bring back an existing character.  It's pretty difficult creating a new supreme bad guy for the final film in a trilogy....there's no history, there's no attachment, you're having to build someone new up against already established characters.  You don't introduce Sauron in the final book of the Lord of the Rings.  So, Abrams went to the well to bring back Palpatine.  Given his powers with the dark side and the bit/reference they made to Revenge of the Sith and Dark Plageus, he made the most sense to return.  It gave Abrams an established bad guy, even if it was played out and it cheapened the Vader redemption arc a bit.

Jesus christ y'all are such buzzkills. This was the best possible outcome after TLJ. Glad JJ was able to somewhat fix that mess. Loved when Luke grabbed the sabre and told Rian to eat shit.

But my all time favorite scene was luke and Leia training.

The nostalgia is the whole reason for these movies existing. We wanna know about Luke and the gang with all their adventures. Glad we got at least some of it.

I'm with you.  I swear I wanted to slap the shit it off the guy next to me.  STFU and just watch the movie.  Don't need commentary about how everything sucks.  

Just wanted to say that I may be the only person happy that the force finally actually looks and feels powerful.  In the OT, as much as I loved start wars, it always bothered me that Vader spoke on how powerful the force was, but it really just seemed like something Harry Potter could easily defeat.

[ulukinatme 1764]

I've seen people complain about the Force.  They didn't like the Leia Mary Poppins act in Last Jedi, didn't like Force Healing in this movie, whatever.

Every movie they introduce a new Force power, this is nothing new.  New Hope gave us Force Choke, Telepathy, Force Persuade.  Empire Strikes Back gave us Telekinesis.  Return of the Jedi had Force Lightning and Force Jump.  Phantom Menace had Force Run, etc etc.  Force Healing has been around in video games and the books, if the book fags can be trusted, for some time.  As far as the Leia Poppins act, people can use the Force to move objects and people, it wouldn't be a stretch to move oneself in  zero gravity  (Although I don't think we've seen Jedi survive in an oxygen-less environment yet, even in Phantom Menace they had to use rebreathers to go underwater).  I think Leia Poppins caught a lot of people off guard simply because we hadn't seen Leia actually use the Force up to that point.

I'll bitch about because it's fucking stupid ...force power went from Yoda straining his tiny balls off lifting an single X-wing out of swamp to the Emperor nearly knocking down 10,000 ships with electricity ....yet still his lighting isn't strong enough to kill anyone it just kind of makes them lay down for awhile... unless it's bounced back from a lightsaber then you disintegrate or something  

and now Jedis can heal the sick and raise the dead? lol ...would have been nice if Obi-Wan would have known that little trick when Qui Gon was run through by Darth Maul...

Had an Excalibur moment when Kylo tosses his saber into the water.  I almost expected an arm to reach up and take it--but then lo and behold when Rey tosses hers later, ol' Luke catches it.

And then Rey's dead, but Kylo saves her, then they kiss, then he dies? I honestly let out a laugh when he died because it just felt weird, out of place, and honestly comedic in its timing. And why the hell didn't Leia try reaching out to Ben earlier? It seems like that's all it took for him to turn good, just his mom giving him a force call.

Meh.

So I'll just try to address from second question first.  I think we're supposed to think because Leia didn't finish her training and dedicate her life to the force, she wasn't as strong as Luke who could force project himself into a duel with Kylo.  She reached out all that way and it took all her force (and life force) out of her.  That one fleeting moment took all her strength and she knew it would but sacrificed herself to save Rey and ultimately, her son.  That's the way I took it anyway.

But back to that kiss..... I absolutely felt the same way you did.  It was stilted, forced, awkward and everything else.  But how awkward was it?  Ben and Rey are kissing cousins.  lol.  While not as incestual as Game of Thrones, there is an ironic feel to making Ben and Rey romantic.  Really quick summary, in the movies, Anakin is considered an immaculate conception and has no father, but in the comics (which are canon now), it is heavily inferred in a Vader vision/dream that Palpatine was responsible for manipulating the midchlorians in Shmi to create her eventual baby Ani.  There is also cut dialogue in the prequels of Palpatine telling Vader he had been waiting for him to eventually grow and come before him to take his place by his side as he is his father. 

So, from a certain point of view, Palpatine is actually Luke/Leia's grandfather, and therefore..... Ben's great grandfather.  In this movie, Sheev is introduced as Rey's grandfather making her father, Anakin's half brother, and Rey is Leia/Luke's cousin...... Ha, ha, ha.  Incestual, awkward, fucking weird kisses!  That's as Star Wars as you can get.  I guess since Sheev never plowed Shmi, it's not supposed to be an issue, but still funny to think about.  The Palpatines and Skywalkers can't get away from each other.

I’m highly pissed there wasn't some sort of good bye to jar jar binks !!!

[SpiralOut 1813]

Wanted to see it for the schadenfreude.  Just got back.  Wasn't disappointed.

JJ is incapable of making movies any other way.  Here's a thing!  Quick!  Here's another thing!  But wait!  Here's something/someone you remember!  And something else you remember!  No time to stop and think!  Go, go, go, go!  All while hitting every predictable plot point you know he's going to hit. 

The characters matter so little you can have one of the main bad guys in this trilogy reveal he's a spy for the Resistance and then be unceremoniously killed off 30 seconds later.

I was literally falling asleep during this.  Almost missed the Evil Rey part.  Which would have been interesting and cool if, ya know, Rey actually went evil.  So of course we're not doing that.

I ain't even mad.  It's just nonsensical goofiness with zero weight to it.  And the point people have made on this trilogy versus the Prequels is bang on.  The Prequels are garbage, but at least Lucas had a clear idea of what he wanted to do and stuck to it through three films.  These movies are so disjointed and all over the place that it just becomes silly.  Disney really needed someone with some brains at the top running this whole thing from start to finish.  I doubt with their market-tested, please as many people as possible, while selling as many toys as possible MO that we'd have gotten some all-time great films, but it would have been better than this.

Save us, Dave Filoni.  You're our only hope!

When Rey throws the lightsaber at Kylo’s burning fighter and Luke catches it and says something along the lines of “that’s no way to treat the weapon of the Jedi “. That felt like a middle finger to rian johnson from Mark hamill himself. 

I'm seeing the movie sometime this weekend but really don't remember all that much from TLJ. Why do people pan it so much, and what do you mean about Luke giving a FU to Rian Johnson? Guess I need to watch it again.

It was not good.  They just basically spent an entire movie retconning TLJ and it was a huge mistake.  Just full of fan service.

Y'all can hate TLJ all you want, but it told an actual well thought out story and took chances, introducing changes to the Star Wars universe that was interesting...this movie just destroyed all that because of a very vocal minority, while also trying to appease everyone, and in the end didn't appease anyone.

Very disappointed in JJ for how he finished this.  And I liked what he did with TFA.  If he had just done something similar to that I'd have been much happier.

It was not good.  They just basically spent an entire movie retconning TLJ and it was a huge mistake.  Just full of fan service.

Y'all can hate TLJ all you want, but it told an actual well thought out story and took chances, introducing changes to the Star Wars universe that was interesting...this movie just destroyed all that because of a very vocal minority, while also trying to appease everyone, and in the end didn't appease anyone.

Very disappointed in JJ for how he finished this.  And I liked what he did with TFA.  If he had just done something similar to that I'd have been much happier.

I've always said I'll say if a movie isn't good. I just think Surly goes way overboard and overthinks movies way to much.

I still think TLJ was great, and if they had expanded on that and not shit all over it, we would have had a MUCH better close out.  Wish Rian Johnson had agreed to do the 3rd movie.
