    8:58 Honestly what you said here was spot on. It completely highlights the biggest issues of Episodes 8 and 9.
    Luke was destined to rebuild the Jedi Order. The good guys. Because of Episode 8, he failed that...
    Anakin was destined to destroy the Sith. The bad guys. Because of Episode 9, he failed that...
    Instead, Rey steals both of their roles. She destroyed the Sith AND is rebuilding the Jedi. The Sequels are an insult to the previous 6 films.

      @@leylanagiyeva9061 Double retcon, one could say:
      1) Just the mere notion of Vader having ever been some kinda messianic figure at all - nothing in the original movies ever implied such a thing;
      if anyone was ever portrayed as some kind of extraordinary superhuman figure it'd be the Emperor.
      Visions of the future and talks of "destiny" were in motion, preventable and unreliable, and didn't amount to definite "prophecies" either - let alone any on a messianic scale.
      2) In Phantom Menace they're talking about this prophecy *before* they learn the Sith weren't gone - so whatever "imbalance" they thought would be neat to fix, wasn't referring to the Sith, and the fix wasn't destroying the Sith.
      However then it became that in the 3rd movie.

      @@WreckageBrother-rd5zf If somebody else was called the chosen one in OT and then prequels came out and said no it was actually Anakin the whole time,then that would have been a retcon.Chosen one prophecy didn't retcon anything it only added more to Anakin's character.All the things you said about "destiny" and "prophecies" are your own personal understandings and thoughts about star wars, it doesn't mean that the prophecies cannot exist in star wars,only because you personally don't like it.
      And why it even matters if the sith weren't around when they found the chosen one?The jedi just came across a miraculous child born with no father with the highest force potential in history that fits all the criterias of ancient prophecy that the jedi have.. Should he just said "Oh well there is no sith around anyway,i guess i'll pass on this one"?? Not to mention the sith comes back the day they found Anakin.
      And even without the prophecy that's what jedi usually do when they find force sensitive children,take them to the jedi council,Anakin wasn't found earlier only because he was in outer rim planet,out of the council's radar.

    Loved the video and you made fantastic points. There are tons of issues with 7=9, but I think one of the biggest issues is having the previous heroes in this story. It should've just been the story of Rey, Finn, Poe, and Kylo. Make it so Han, Leia, Luke, and Vader are long in the past and fables. One of the reasons I liked TLJ was the fact that it felt like Disney was making Star Wars their own and giving us a new story with new characters. Throwing in the old heroes felt messy and crowded. I'm kind of glad Luke force projected himself, because I didn't want to see old-man CGI Luke flipping everywhere. There's a lot more I can go on, but just my contribution to the discussion.

    • @jezkerjamez7110

      Having a film take place, say 100 years after Episode 6 would make it a lot easier to satisfy people, but at the same time, everyone wanted Han, Luke, and Leia to return for one more adventure. Too bad we never got them together again on screen in one scene.

    • @dr.boring7022
      @dr.boring7022 Год назад +1

      I agree with you both. We could see our old heroes together, leading the New Republic. Not too much, but not too little. But for most of it, the new heroes take the spotlight, going on their own adventure.

      Disneyfilm could have, but then Force Awakens wouldn't have made almost a billion dollars domestically, which is still the highest (uninflated) total ever. And because of that (and SM No Way Home and Super Mario and Top Gun 2), we are no longer in the Blockbuster Age. Begun, the Nostalgia Age has.

    I will say Rey's heritage in TLJ is actually genius. It's expected that she's Luke's daughter, Obi-Wan's daughter (yes some thought that), maybe even Sidious' daughter/granddaughter. Having her be a nothing is way more surprising and more similar to Vader being Luke's father as both were totally out of the audience's perception. Rey being a nobody without purpose, the black sheep in this grand family opera allows her to choose her own path and in the end uphold the Skywalker name (figuratively) better than their own flesh and blood (Ben). Rise of Skywalker's biggest mistake aside from Palatine's return is making her important to lineages of Star Wars as if every hero has to be the child of another established hero. That's not what makes them, it's the choices we and they make.

    • @AndrewGiles688
      @AndrewGiles688 2 месяца назад +1

      Also, a line in TLJ does make sense why Kylo lost. Snoke drills him about how he couldn't win against a girl who never held a lightsaber because of his imbalance (something previously introduced in Episode 7). This furthers his story deeper into the dark side and builds him up more as a villain. Is it great? No. But Star Wars is all about how the force is greater than any training and that it is what actually wins a battle.

    If TROS is cancer, than TLJ is the thing that caused the cancer. There's literally no place to go after that film. After I walked out of the theater, I wondered: "They do know that this was supposed to be the middle entry of a trilogy, right?" Because TLJ feels so out of bounds in relation to TFA. And it also doesn't set anything up for the third film. What, is Rey gonna defeat Kylo and the First Order AGAIN? Yay....

    Hot take: If the colossal sin of bringing the Emperor back from the dead wasn’t committed, ROS wouldn’t have been nearly as bad. It’d still have flaws, but it wouldn’t be considered the worst one. As much as I dislike ROS, I can’t help but feel sorry for the people who worked on it. Rian Johnson and co REALLY screwed things up when working on TLJ. ROS was doomed from the start. It had ZERO chance of being good, they had had an extremely short time to fix everything, and it’s because TLJ fucked so much shit up. I think for that, TLJ is the worst one, but that’s just my opinion.

    • @jezkerjamez7110
      @jezkerjamez7110  2 месяца назад +1

      Honestly I think the original Episode IX “Duel of the Fates” would have been better than Rise of Skywalker. It wouldn’t have brought Palpatine back (although Kylo would find a holocron message left by Palpatine) and it would have had Rey and Kylo duel on Mortis where Rey would have discovered what balance in the Force actually means.
      It isn’t a perfect script but it would have been better than Rise of Skywalker and most importantly it wouldn’t have ruined Anakin’s legacy as the chosen one, as Palpatine and the Sith would not have returned.

    @jonldavis Год назад +1

    I compare this a little bit to the Alien series
    Everything up to episode 8 would of been Alien and Aliens 2
    But The Last Jedi like Aliens 3, they kill of or ruin characters (Luke, Snoke, Ackbar,) and don't even pay attention to others (Knights Of Ren) from the previous movies.
    Plus we still don't have any backstory yet on who these characters (Rey, Snoke) are or how Luke became a bum or how Ren became so upset.
    Yes that was bad enough to ruin my favorite characters while not even explaining who these new ones are or how they fit in.
    THEN COMES Aliens 4 - oh I mean Episode 9
    Aliens 4 basically destroyed the whole series by mixing alien dna with human dna and now we got all these half breeds running around and the series just became a total mess.
    Like Aliens 4 Star Wars now turns the whole story into a big bag pile of %@*!, they bring Palpatine back (with no backstory again to say how he got here).
    Then they stole content from some 5 year old's playing in the background of their set.
    The boy playing as Palpatine says - I have all the dead Sith in by body.
    The girl then says - Well I have all the Jedi in my body then.
    Now we have Rey running around with a bunch of dead Jedi inside her.
    We got so many ghosts running around that unless you bring the ghostbusters in, there is no hope.
    And If Palpatine is just a clone what's to stop just making more of him.
    How do you even move on from this mess.
    And they want to do another Rey movie.
    We don't even know her origin story yet along with Ren and his Knights.
    It seems they want to skip over the story.
    Why, because there is no story.
    All Star Wars is now is a couple kids playing at a table making up stuff as they go and none of it makes sense.
    You either need to put some story around these movies or you need to toss them in the trash because you can't move on from here as it is.
    Were stuck doing back stories if you don't fix this.
    And after you make a mess of the back stories no one will want to watch any of this anymore.

    The only connection The Disney Trash Trilogy has to Star Wars is that it plagiarizes it.

In terms of Last Insult vs Rise of JJ, Last Insult as a film is indeed trash BUT it is far more original than both Farce Awakens and Rise of JJ. Original but still trash.

    I lost faith after TFA and TLJ, and I didn't watch TroS. So I may be wrong here, but your video made me think: Is Rey being Palpatine's granddaughter a way of explaining how she has such strong force powers? It would still be a terribly awful explanation, but otherwise, this twist has no punch or reason in the story.
    She's his granddaughter, but has no reservations about killing him, despite he's her only connection to her parents. Which her longing for them was made pretty important in the trilogy. Never more info there. And he willingly wants to kill her/take her power despite she's his granddaughter, and evidently more powerful than he is. Sure, that means she's a threat to his power, but so is every trainee for the Sith, as evidenced by the movies. This could have actually given credence to the Rey Sith scene BS, and a conflict for both characters.
    The Sequel Trilogy actually had some interesting ideas, should they had been executed correctly. Great potential that lead to massive failures on multiple levels.

    • @jezkerjamez7110

      The Rey Palpatine thing was a half hazard attempt to explain how she was so powerful despite having zero training in the previous two films. I can see why she wanted Palpatine dead though, as he did order the murder of her parents. Palpatine I think mainly wanted to transfer into a new body because his cloned one was decaying. In legends material it is explained that cloning force sensitives always causes defects with the clones. Darth Plagueis explained it was like the force was pushing back against attempts to interfere with its chosen, the chosen being force sensitives. So the idea I think they were going for is that Palpatine could never clone a perfect body for himself, so he needed to transfer into a naturally born force sensitive. I think the implication is that he would have chosen either Kylo or Rey and that one was the back up for the other if one failed. There is also the implication for the transfer to work correctly, the vessel had to be steeped in the dark side, which is why he wanted Kylo to either kill Rey to snuff out his light or for Rey to strike Palpatine down in revenge.
      Force transfer, the ability to transfer your soul into the body of another, does exist in legends material, but it is extremely risky. If you fail to posses the person you are trying to transfer into, your soul will be cast into a realm known as chaos, which essentially is the Star Wars version of Hell.
      Still though, a lot of this stuff is me trying to fill in the gaps Disney left unexplained in the movie, with information from the novels, and over all it's a big mess.

    @eightnickel1513 Год назад +1

    I don’t like both movies, but I'd say The Last Jedi was the better of the two for the following reasons:
    1. It at least thematically works. Even if it hurt Luke's heroic journey in the OT and took plot elements from TESB and ROTJ, the theme of failure is shown and well-represented as a movie on its own. The Rise of Skywalker's theme was to not be afraid of who you are, but Rey decides to take up the Skywalker name at the end anyways. So if they undid the theme of the movie, then what the eff was the point of having it in the movie in the first place?
    2. The Last Jedi also doesn't damage past movies and the lore in the degree as Rise of Skywalker did. Luke's characterization in LTJ undermines his heroic journey, but brining Palpatine back hurt the past movies even more because it unravels Anakin's fall and redemption arc since it's revealed he never really killed Palpatine. It also gives the role of the chosen one to Rey. even though the prohercy clearly states it's Anakin and nothing in it applies to Rey. The Force heal single handled destroyed Anakin’s tragic arc in the prequels because he didn’t know how to heal.
    3. The Last Jedi has a better vibe to it. I like the dried out, washed war look. Rian Johnson knows how to make better shots than Abrams. The Rise of Skywalker has a dull, wet look to it.
    4. It’s more imaginative. Rise of Skywalker’s tried to combine Return of the Jedi, Avengers Endgame, Return of the King, and other endings to other franchises with the sequel trilogy and it ends up as unfulfilling and lore-breaking, where The Last Jedi had original ideas, even though it reused plot thread from Episodes 5 and 6.

    • @jezkerjamez7110
      @jezkerjamez7110  Год назад

      I can actually get behind this. The Last Jedi is actually a very beautifully film in terms of visuals. The stand off between Luke and Kylo near the end is visually stunning. And like you said, it didn't break the lore. The problem was it just tried to hard to subvert expectations. Instead of giving us what we wanted with certain characters, it did the exact opposite in an attempt to be "bold and different" which does not always equal "good" lol. The best character in the film is Kylo Ren, as even though Snoke was disappointing, Kylo becoming Supreme Leader was interesting. He finally could rule the galaxy in a way Vader never did and thus surpassed him.
      It's kind of why I wished they had gone with the plans for the original Episode IX "Duel of the Fates" where Kylo was the big bad instead of Palpatine.

      @@jezkerjamez7110 I agree. Kylo was such a Vader wannabe in Episode 7. But even though I didn’t like the choice to kill off Snoke, his character went in a more interesting direction in Episode 8. I liked that he wanted to be more and wanted to let the past die. But then Episode 9 had to take him back to living up to Vader again and getting redemption. It didn’t feel satisfying to end him off the same way Anakin did because it then just feels the character was made just to be the villain of the trilogy that wanted to be as good as Vader and failed because they played right into it.

Now you can make him a sympathetic villain, one where you can see his point of view without agreeing with his methods of course. But make him a villain none the less.

      You could see where he got the idea of letting the past die. The Jedi, the Sith, the Republic, the Empire, it all failed. So Kylo would want to start everything a new. Burn it all down and start again. It's not a bad motivation for him, but they dropped the ball and made him Vader lite.
