One Nice Thing About Each Star Wars Sequel Movie
In my previous video, I talked about Rey's story arc and it may have come across as if I don't like the sequel movies at all. That's not the case. In this video I say one nice thing about each movie.

This Would Have Improved Rise of Skywalker's Beginning.

An old rule of storytelling is to show don't tell. I think if the Rise of Skywalker had done that with the opening scene, it would have helped improve the movie. What do you think? Subscribe for more videos: www.youtube.com/@roguescoundrel?sub_confirmation=1 patreon.com/TheRogueScoundrel41
How Count Dooku Thought the Battle of Coruscant Would Play Out

The novelization of Revenge of the Sith provides more details about the Battle of Coruscant than the movie presented, including a scene between Count Dooku and Chancellor Palpatine before Obi Wan and Anakin arrive. In this scene we get a better understanding of what Count Dooku believed would happen once they arrived. Subscribe for more videos: www.youtube.com/@roguescoundrel?sub_confirmation=1...

The squeals are terrible
Quality is a massive difference 💀
Who are you calling a Jedi Master?
Oh and both of the Sith Lords somehow survive.
Eh... Equally, we never had a story of Leia becoming princess. Or how Han Solo from a smuggler become overnight a Resistence general. Bottom line, personally I prefer to enjoy them rather than hate them for some part of the story not being told due to limited duration a movie has.
Regardless of the messy choreography, I think the throne room fight in TLJ is peak
I really liked that scene when I first saw it. And then I saw some videos highlighting the issues with it and now I can’t watch it without seeing them. Wish I would have remained ignorant lol
Yeah nah L takes all around. The sequels are heartless corporate garbage from start to finish.
I despise these movies, but after watching this I do agree on these things being good parts. It's still overall a 99% I didn't enjoy and 1% I did, but these are fair
There were a lot of good things in these, but they failed to recapture the magic of the originals. To be fair, TFA was way better than Phantom Menace , which to me is the worst SW movie ever
Things I can say I like about the sequels: TFA - I like most of it. I find it very entertaining. Yes, it is a rehash of a New Hope, but I find the new characters interesting TLJ - The visuals are awesome. The force skyping is pretty neat and the relation between Kylo Ren and Rey is interesting, although I don't like how it is filled with sexual tension TROS - the dynamic of the main trio is fun. Finn was wasted in TLJ, he still doesn't do much in here, but at least the interactions were cool
Ngl I kinda like the force Skyping. Luke and Kylo’s final “duel” was also pretty cool IMHO
😴😴😴😴
The only things I liked of all the trilogy - the dialogue between Han and Ben before Ben killed him, I was moved by the only father son interaction. The trilogy failure cant take away the great acting of Driver and Ford. The other was just seeing Hamill as Luke on the screen again. The trilogy disgarded him...BAD.
Did you even watch the movie? Kylo Ren literally takes a wookie bowcaster shot literally RIGHT before this fight in the CHEAST. A wookie bowcaster is literally the equivalent to me using a M203 and hitting you with it. If you know ANYTHING about star wars you'd understand that its a fucking miricle there even WAS a fight after that, you can even see Kylo Ren doing "Sith Seethe" which is an ability of channeling rage and hatred to gain power and renegerate stamina, he does this MID fight. Actually know something about star wars before making a clip. Pretty sure if Darth Vader took a wookie bowcaster shot to the CHEAST just before Luke fought him Darth Vader would have lost too. You guys just love to hate for the sake of hating, the exact SAME people who hate Rey were the exact same people who HATED the prequels and now all of you apparently LOVE the prequels now, absolute joke of a fandom.
I understand the plot justification for her defeating Kylo but by that logic (and the miracle that he could even fight) Finn probably should have beaten Kylo instead of getting carved up. At least by that point he’d used a lightsaber and being a stormtrooper, had some formal training (though one could argue stormtrooper training might make one a worse fighter lol) versus her informal training. It still doesn’t mean she earned the victory. It also made her look overpowered and Kylo weak. But maybe that’s what they were going for. Let’s just say it didn’t work as well as they wanted.
In all fairness, Dooku and Vader were some of the best Sith duelists of all time. Kylo wasn't even a proper Sith lord.
Rey should still have had her arse kicked but that's not allowed with today's female characters. Nor are they allowed to rely on male physical strength. She was almost the start of the Mary Sue and it's no co-incidence the more they do trope the worse their views/box office is with the culmination the Acolyte. What a disaster.
@@tkps at the start she was a mary sue, because it’s never explained how she was able to fly the Millennium Falcon perfectly without any flight training, however it’s understandable that she knew her machinery due to her scavenging knowledge
The hate of sequel lovers in the comments fuel me

She has the ability to utilize the power of manyyyyyy!!!! So get over it u patriarchy!

@@jcannon796 where’d your comments go?
@@jcannon796 buh byee 😂🥱
She must have had the high ground
One nice thing about every movie: The visual effects 😮💨 Also TFA was actually good- the next two movies ruined the trilogy
Boolio was a nice character. I wish we could get more of him.
I give her some points because she is shown to have some skills with melee weapons at the beginning of the movie which she could have realistically gained, but not enough to win against a force user
She was so untrained it confused Kylo... That and womanpower trumps everything.
"trump" means "sh1t" now
@@Dieselpower440 Anakin and Luke was highly untrained yet they lost to their Darksider at first, even lost a hand from both characters
She didn't lose her temper. Both anakin and Luke that they were hot shit and they got humbled. In that scenario Kylo is following in the family line of fucking around
She wasn’t a skywalker yet
Nor is she now, she is unfit for the name
@@jcannon796 LOL this is what I mean! Your going around insulting everyone cause you have no life and no one loves you
@@jcannon796 also they weren’t even talking about kilo ren. Can you read?
I think it's established early in the movie that she knows how to fight and defend herself, she's been doing it all her life. I kind of equate it to a 4th degree black belt in taekwondo losing to some rando in a street fight. The force is always trying to bring balance, and I think her defeating Kyle Ren was a testament to how powerful her raw talent with the force was. Also he was injured by Chewie after Hans death so she kind of rolled with advantage on that fight.
Also, Kylo was kinda portrays as being unable to control his emotions. Rey was shown to be more sensible and defensive in her attitude to the battle and so overcame Kylos blind anger
@@theshadowsquadhd215 I think this is wonderfully put.
But then by that logic Finn would also have the SAME advantage but it didn’t stop Kylo from beating him
@@lugismansion2400 according to later lore, lightsabers are not that easy to use for non-force users. The density varies and moves throughout the blade erratically. It doesn’t mean they can’t use it, but that it’s difficult. Also, it’s pretty easy to assume that lowly stormtroopers don’t have extensive CQC training over blaster work. Rey is shown to be proficient with at least a staff.
@@theshadowsquadhd215 that has only been of one Saber that your talking about, and it is as Dark as the night
Im sick of people upset about Rey being strong from the start of her trilogy. If you bothered to pay attention to anything in the sequels beyond the outrage the internet told you to have, you would know the inherent strength was part of her character all along. It's not her arc to gain power, it's her arc to decide how to weild her power.
But she still used those strong abilities with zero training: a good Force Welder needs training to use their gifts yes Rey was gifted in the force thanks to Palpatine: however where her character falls flat is that she’s able to do things that takes others years or decades of training to master, that’s why Anakin and Luke despite having essentially the same power are much better characters because they learned, because they was trained and when they learned new abilities passively it made sense when it did, since they had the training in order to use them in the first place and also the fact that she never lost an important fight is also why people complain about that as well
@@lugismansion2400 out of the 3 trilogies, hers shows the most screen time of actual training. The idea that she's not trained is false.
@@darkenkil4416 the only thing she is proficient at is her staff that much is true, but she shouldn’t have been able to pull her lightsaber back to her during her first duel with Kylo Ren, in fact that’s where she should have lost, yes in the second movie does it show her getting some training but somehow immediately masters it in hours, while it took Jedi and Sith like Luke, Anakin, Mace, Palpatine, Dooku, Maul longer, which is why they was so good at it, Rey’s case is that she is just good at everything, also earlier in the first movie she’s never flown anything in her life to my knowledge, yet she somehow perfectly (and somehow does it BETTER than Han and Chewie, and Lando) flies the busted up Millennium Falcon out of Jakuu while running away from the First Order, I don’t know about you but if you or I was put into that same position, we wouldn’t have survived and neither should they have survived, hell it would have made more sense to put Finn on the wheel and Rey on the gun since Finn most likely would have been trained to fly a star fighter
@@lugismansion2400 nah nah nah. Anakin is literally space Jesus. He was so gifted with the force, he made his peers look like struggling toddlers by comparison. Luke is trained literally for like 5 minutes against a remote and like 2 hours with Yoda and he's somehow Grand Master able to defeat Vader. Come on bro. Why the bias?
@@darkenkil4416 dude if you recall, Luke LOST his first duel with Vader: he went to train some more(which took a few years in between movies btw) then he was strong enough to face Vader not only because he was the son of Space Jesus, but also because he was even more powerful and arguably Luke didn’t even DEFEAT Vader: Palpatine defeated him through Sith Lightning, then Vader died and became Anakin once more and the life systems failed due to the Sith Lightning and it was Anakin who ultimately defeated the Empire
Ya, Star Wars has gone to shit
Mary Sue...
Guys! This was taken from a longer video I did about Rey's unearned story arc. In it, I (sort of) make fun of her calling herself a Skywalker, though to be fair, it is what Wookieepedia names her, so...it is her name, even if some of us would rather it not be.
😆😆 it's like you INVENTED jealousy, kid
@@jcannon796 your under every comment! OMFG this is great! We didn’t invent jealousy we just don’t enjoy bad movies
@@jcannon796 🥱🤡
@@jcannon796 you’re literally the most childish person in this comment section but okay
@@jcannon796 you don’t even know the definition of an incel, your using the word wrong
You see, its because Kylo Ren LITERALLY JUST GOT SHOT AND IS BLEEDING OUT and he literally just killed his dad. And she still barely stood a chance.
He easily took down Finn who also has zero experience with the Lightsaber yet somehow had a hard time with a different person who also has zero experience
@@jcannon796 Finn as a Trooper was trained in more ways than Rey Palpatine was ever “trained” in, the only thing she was proficient in was her staff which is a two handed weapon
@@jcannon796That's the problem. WHY is she a better fighter? It's inexplicable beyond, "Because she's a Mary Sue."
@@jcannon796 1) why are you calling me "kid", manchild? 2) Fiction also has rules, little man. There are genre conventions and internal consistency. There ARE other problems, but most of them in the first 6 movies are relatively minor. It's ultimately a story with fantastic elements imposed on generally realistic characters in a classic hero's journey... But in space. Rey is just terribly written, a caricature of what came before. She's more of a caricature than *FREAKING JAR JAR BINKS!*
@@jcannon796suspension of disbelief isn’t really a possibility when she single-handedly undermines a lot of the other characters they built up for us to care about. While it is fiction you’re still getting mad at people for saying she’s a bad character. I think you care more than anybody else. 😮😂
Dude just sounds like a jealous in/cel 🤔🙄
It's okay for people to not like things you like, or to critique things you like. You shouldn't let that take away from your enjoyment of them. I like some things the sequels did, but overall I think they were poorly written, especially as a trilogy, since they literally had two different writers pulling the story in multiple directions. If you don't think that, good on you. I wish they'd been more consistent, and if so, the arc people claim she has might have come through better in the films they put out. I like disagreement and people challenging my views, so it's welcome, but just don't be an ass about it.
@@roguescoundrel 😂😂😂😂 doubling down on the jealousy, I see 😆😆😆
Oh okay so you don’t want to have an actual discussion like adults. Thanks for stopping by. Have fun out there!
@@jcannon796 not even the OP takes you seriously, you’re an unfunny joke 😂
@@jcannon796 OP doesn’t even take you seriously. What is your problem? 😂
Some consider to be unnatural
the ONE DEFENSE I will give it, is that the entire movie was basically one long informercial for Chewie's Bowcaster. Kylo took one of those shots and kept on trucking. This how ever does not stop the fact that Rey Palpatine / Sheeve's Granddaughter had random force powers and saber techniques she should not have had. I would have figured her for more a reincarnation of Palpatine given how she fought, she more than once took the same stance Palp took in Revenge of the Sith in that fight.
Kylo Ren had just minutes before taken a bowcaster bolt to the midsection and was holding his guts together with pure hatred. Why do chuds always pretend like this was a mary sue moment and not a lucky break against a compromised foe?
Kylo was holding his guts together with pure hatred. He'd just been hit center mass with a bowcaster. Why do you chuds always ignore this?
Because he then proceeded to defeat Finn so it doesn’t seem like it bothered him too much.
Do not call her Skywalker.
@@jcannon796 It actually isn't, she only claimed it is. Her name is Rey, her full name is Rey Palpatine, she declared she will be a Skywalker but she actually isn't one. Get it right.
@@jcannon796 I saw what you do, you are stupid and just here to rage bate. Moving on.
@@jcannon796 how is somebody an incel because they don’t like the idea she uses the name of characters that we love when she didn’t earn it? Leia, Padme, Ahsoka, Sabine, Bo-Katan, Hera, Ventress, Mara Jade, Treya, Bastila, Jyn, Aphra, and Cara Dune are all female characters that I personally like. You are just ignorant for assuming that somebody hates women because they disagree with the poor writing of a female character.
@@jcannon796the only thing cannon is that you’ll die alone 😂. You’re a joke.
@@jcannon796you have the intelligence level of a drunk kindergartener 😂
Rey Palpatine, not Skywalker.
Sure showed her
@@jcannon796 no it’s not
Rey Palpatine*
I think it’s because Kylo was already pretty banged up before the fight. Edit: I should have known better than comment on a Star Wars video.
Even if that was the case he should have easily dispatched her, someone who was trained in the Jedi arts Vs someone who wasn’t shouldn’t end well for the one who didn’t have any formal training with a single bladed weapon
Also, it’s pretty clear he is far from the talents of the previous dark side members. He is far on the opposite side of both Vader and Dooku and cannot control his emotions. Rey is shown to be inexperienced but can keep her head screwed on and rely on her friends to help.
@@jcannon796 you can’t be attuned to something you have zero knowledge of
@@jcannon796 that’s a dumb reason and you know it. She had never used a lightsaber before. XD and she instantly beat a someone who’s been training for years. Wanna know what that’s called? Bad writing!

@@Tftftftftftftftftf yep. and Luke and Anakin are absolutely Mary Sues. i mean, Anakin is force Jesus and Luke had like 2 days of training and took down the entire empire.
@@Existgoththat’d make him a prodigy though not a Mary Sue he still suffered a lot of losses before winning the clone wars and Luke barely even took down the empire by himself in fact it was Vader who took down palpatine
@@Existgoth tf you yapping about, Luke trained on dagobah for a month, lost to Vader, then went into hiding to train more, then he took down the empire.
Dooku was at a 100% Vader was 100%....Kylo wasn't 100% when they fought
A scary turd should still be scary, not fodder for the heroic turd
Rey is an untrained scavenger, it would equal out to make no difference right?
Dosen’t matter: a trained and skilled combatant shouldn’t loose to an unskilled and untrained combatant, Anakin was an unskilled and untrained combatant who was swiftly defeated by a duelist who was an expert: Luke only trained in the Force and not with the weapon so he was swiftly overpowered by Vader who’s had years of experience in both: Kylo Ren was trained by Luke Skywalker himself and yet lost to an untrained noob with zero force abilities or combat training
Then maybe Finn shouldn't have lost.
@@roguescoundrel from Adventure Time?
It’s because she had zero training you see, that made her stronger or something……
Grind to masters in league of legends then smurf on a silver account you will lose 10 in a row some days to shitters that might as well be playing with their feet
@@Marusii847 What are you even mumbling about? You sound so cringe my guy
You just don't understand. Her whole life has been like training. Or, something dumb like that. Because she's a woman. I guess? Disney
"Norse american" tells us everything we need to know dude. Surely the shot chewy planted in kylo did nothing.
@@WhiteCollarCrimeDNB it did nothing when Kylo fought Finn
Did you seriously call her untrained? I hate the sequels too but at least be honest here, we saw what her day to day was like and we saw how good she is with a staff do to living on a hell world. Of course she beat an emotional wreck of a man she has to do that kind of shit on the daily
Untrained with a lightsaber and the force. A scavenger shouldn’t be able to beat a trained force user
@@cael4065and use the force very efficiently to get the lightsaber to her in the first place
Calling a skywalker (the strongest naturally gifted force users) with years of training under the strongest Jedi to ever live and years of training under one of if not the strongest sith to ever exist, should definitely beat someone with no lightsaber OR force training. Even if they decided she’s a palpatine. Terrible writing isn’t harsh enough.
Bro. Living in the desert and eating a single bun every day then messing around twirling a staff with no instruction or sparring opponent doesn't make you strong. It's not training. Have you ever seen some loser who fucks around with boxing stuff in his backyard go into an actual gym and try to fight? They get _rolled_. Zero difficulty. Even Luke, who wasn't formally trained with a lightsaber, spent nearly a year working and training with the rebellion and all their skilled fighters, Saw a large amount of active combat, and had intense dedicated one on one training from one of the greatest training masters of all time for an unspecified period that was long and strenuous enough to see major growth. Rey fucked around with a stick by herself and hardly ate anything. She aint trained. And yet, she defeated Kylo Ren, who was directly trained by both Luke and Snoke, (who is literally just darth sidious) and was outright stated by the creators multiple times to be on a similar level of power as Darth Vader, even killing a zillo beast vader was unable/unwilling to defeat. The only way you could possibly justify this is if you say that he was already defeated by chewbacca's bowcaster shot, and ray just cleaned up a man already on death's door. But if that was the case, he couldn't have beaten fin, who was later revealed to be force sensitive, and who at that time was a fully combat trained first order stormtrooper. Kylo beat fin easily, showing he was in good condition, and then promptly lost to an underfed backyard warrior from the ass end of nowhere with little to no combat experience. I call bullshit.
Ah yes because even a clone trooper could pick up a lightsaber and defeat a sith with barely any issues.
Maybe not comparing Kylo Ren to Vader and Dooku is not the flex you think it is.
The point stands that Kylo had more training than Rey, so even though kylo would get owned by the other two mentioned, Rey still shouldn’t have won with no experience
Kylo Ren being lame should not be an excuse.
@@thebrokenhandle7691maybe if the Lightsaber was a double bladed one THEN she would have a chance, but since it wasn’t she shouldn’t have won either way
