  • Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, what a truly incredible trainwreck. Watch the uncensored version of this video at / thevitoshow .
    In this movie, co-writers J.J. Abrams and Chris Terrio demonstrate their complete inability to craft anything even resembling a meaningful (or coherent) plotline, forever cementing the fate of the most spectacular franchise failure in history. Six months out from this farce, with the blackness knocking on our doors, let's take a closer look at everything that went wrong.
    In part one, we examine how Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy allowed the Skywalker Saga to fail from hour one, by not laying out a competent framework for the trilogy.
    In part two, we take a look at how this movie retcons Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi, with a gotcha mentality that pranks the audience.
    In part three, we see the tragic loss of Carrie Fisher, and discuss a more fitting tribute for Princess Leia. Perhaps one akin to Yondu in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2?
    Part four is all about fetch quests, and how the plot of this movie is structured like a bad Final Fantasy game.
    Part five we meet the Knights of Ren, the most boring characters ever.
    Part six, the rushed pacing of this Star Wars Episode IX movie script and how it ruins many a scene.
    Part seven and we must discuss the return of Emperor Palpatine. How did Sheev return? Who knows!?
    Part eight? Time for some BABU FRIK!
    Part nine and Palpatine’s fleet of first order Star Destroyers (sorry, final order Star Destroyers) is examined. Who built these things!?
    Part ten we discuss the character of Finn, the rogue stormtrooper played by John Boyega.
    Part eleven and it’s the thrilling battle for Exegol! What a terrible scene!
    Part twelve and it’s time to discuss Kylo Ren, played by Adam Driver. Why was Kylo ren evil? Why did he do away with Han Solo? We may never know…
    Part thirteen and it’s time to meet REY SKYWALKER as played by Daisy Ridley. The Rise of Skywalker ending is quite a nightmare to behold!

      I would call the Disney Corporation/Darth Kennedy "Star Wars" sequel trilogy bad fan fiction, but that would be a disservice to even bad fan fiction; those stories don't get multi-picture, multi-million dollar movie deals and get treated as canon. (Except Fifty Shades of Grey, but no sane human being likes those.) I speak no hyperbole when I say I've read My Little Pony fan fiction that was incomparably better written and more respectful to their source material than the monstrosities Darth Kennedy, Jar Jar Abrams, and Ruin Johnson shit into existence are..

      Luke’s time on Tatooine also stunk. It represented hopelessness for him, a dead end in his life, and of course he saw the only family he ever knew get burned to a crisp. Thematically, tatooine is always perceived as basically a bad place for the characters. It’s only in TROS because the audience recognizes it; it is significant to us, but irrelevant to this story and to Rey. It’s very clear that JJ does not think too highly of the audience’s intellect.

      Nah. It's too soon. Having Luke be this mythical figure that is built-up works better, especially when TLJ challenges those ideas. Waiting for the third movie to have them all on screen together would have been better. But Harrison Ford ain't gonna stick around that long. And then Carrie Fisher died. It just wasn't meant to be. I'm okay with it though. The moments we did get with them were nice. Maybe we could have had a better send-off if George Lucas hadn't made the prequels and these movies were made a decade earlier.

      It was just a Payday for Mark and it always has been.

      In all fairness, I actually didn't see an issue with that plotline. The idea behind them erasing 3-P0's memory is that it would reset him to his original state (that being, when he was build by Anakin), and that the restrictions on Sith translations were added later, probably when he came into Padme's service. 3-P0 even says: "I believe the law [against translating Sith writing] was passed by the senate of the Old Republic." This makes sense to me, as I doubt the Jedi Order would want just anyone to be able to translate Sith writing.

Rian Johnson was so smug and superior ("Your Snoke theory sucks!"), yet instead of doing anything interesting, he tore the character (and the franchise with him) into pieces.

      One could say something similar of Luke Skywalker.
      He started out as the juggernaut we last saw with huge expectations of what he has become in the interim and then after building up those expectations even further, each and every one of them was subverted until we ended up with a broken, diminished husk of the character we loved, before a rushed and unconvincing apology.

      Technically, it was the First Order who had hidden in the Unknown region for 30 years.
      So it can legitimize a lot of things.
      Starkiller base which is a planet, Illum. In Jedi: Fallen Ordrer we already see some imperial facilities and everything.
      But I can't defend the fact that the Jedi Order is still absent despite the horizon provided by Episode 6.
      Han Solo's death was not necessary it's been 5 years now and I still cry but it was essential to the character development of Ben.

      A) a place sacred to the Jedi order. And
      B) a place where you can obtain crystals with which to make lightsabers.
      Which means we are lead to believe that in the decades of time between the fall of the Empire and the activation of SKB that Luke never visited that place or had anyone else even check up on it as he attempted to re-establish the Jedi Order. It also means that no one, Jedi related or not, bothered to even take a cursory glance at a planet that was well known in the universe and on most if not all star charts, even as it experienced enough traffic needed to turn it into a weapon 4 times more powerful than the most powerful weapon ever conceived.

    *Luke Skywalker* (Male Character) a *COMPLETE FAILURE*
    1) Failed as a Moisture Farm boy, and abandons his only family, who were murdered ; He leaves his home to seek Adventure.
    2) Failed as an independent (Mary Sue) character, as he was co-dependant on his friends aid, to succeed in all his missions.
    3) Failed as a Jedi Master /Instructor for his first Student (Grogu) & was trusted with Leia’s son Ben Solo , as he failed to kill him and then Abandons Ben Solo (who turned to the darkside “Kylo Ren”, to become a mentally unstable mass murdering puppet of Snoke) He failed to realize their was a darkness rising in Kylo
    4) Failed to start up a new jedi academy....his 12 students + Kylo.. betray him and he becomes a galactic victim and He quits the 1000 generations of jedi traditions of peace and justice. (sounds familiar , when the POPE resigned from his job as head of the Church, in 2012 feb)
    5) Luke continues to Fail
    a) Failed his family on Tatooine..they were murdered
    b) Failed his jedi test at the Dark Side Cave on Dagobah
    c) Failed his training with Yoda / didn’t complete it.
    d) Failed to assassinate Jabba the Hut and put into a Rancor Pit.
    e) Failed to Defeat Vadar and got his Hand cut off.
    e) Failed to face off and kill the Emperor, and throws his lightsaber away.
    f) Failed as a Trusted loyal Friend to the Rebels, as they are Killed off by the Empire, Kylo Murders his dad; Han. Princess Leia is almost murdered by her son Kylo. Hundreds of Rebels die in battles.
    Not once is he there to help save them.
    6) Failed as a Family man (to Han, Chewbacca, Ben, Leia, Ben Kenobi and RTD2 etc) and Failed as a brother to Leia in her struggle to fight the Empire.
    7) Failed as a Jedi and lived for years in Fear , as a Hermit on an isolated island (He is suicidal and wants to Die) and accomplishes NOTHING.
    8) Tries to burn down last remnants of Jedi knowledge…so Yoda sends a lightning bolt and destroys it, for him.
    9) Luke cuts himself off, from the Force.
    10) Failed as a Teacher to Rey Palpatine, and doesn’t pass on the torch to her. He Was defeated easily by Rey in Combat training on island.
    11) Fails at helping to save Rey from Kylo, his nephew and student.
    12) Luke obtains a new force power ..”Hologram Force Projection” which he uses against Kylo, and it costs him his life. (Luke gets his wish…to DIE)
    13) Lukes legacy is …He was supported & helped all through his young life , to be a success, only to face a singular defeat with his jedi school and he quit , and stopped helping anyone for years, while they died, carrying on the good fight against the Empire.
    Luke will be remembered as a Depressed , Weak, Lonely, Irresponsible , Disconnected ,Fearfilled Old Man with PTSD and NO HOPE.
    LUKE ends up representing *Nihilism* (the rejection of all religious and moral principles, in the belief that life is meaningless.)
    (Thanks a lot Krazy Kathleen Kennedy, for crushing all Hope and influencing the next generation into a Sick direction of Betrayal & Familicide.)

    ************************************************************************
    *Rey* ?? Palpatine ?? Skywalker ?? Sidous ?? (GIRL BOSS Female Character) is a *COMPLETE SUCCESS*
    1) Successful Survivor as a Scavenger all her life.
    2) Rey knows how to fly the old Millennium Falcon Freighter ship like a pro, with no history of training or flying.
    3) Rey is instantly good at speaking Robot languages and Wookie language.
    4) Rey doesn’t need to train and build her own lightsaber…She instantly finds Anakins lightsaber and she claims it.
    4) Rey has amazing Swordsmanship and Combat Skills (without training) and Succeeds in surviving a Lightsaber duel against a Jedi Trained , Kylo Ren.
    5) With no Training whats’ so ever, Effortlessly resist the mind control of her captor, Kylo and Rey is an instant success with Jedi mind control and mind projection into Kylo .
    6) She Succeeds in Beating the most powerful Jedi alive , in combat training (aka Luke Skywalker)
    Then she beats up 4 guys without losing her breath.
    7) Rey is never Challenged or put to the Test, yet Succeeds in having the Rebellion trust her to find Luke where no one in the rebellion or First Order would and she is the most Powerful Jedi in only a short time (under Leia’s tutelage).
    Mind you Leia gave up her lightsaber and didn’t complete her training either, under Luke’s jedi school.
    8) Rey is a successful one-woman army, The only Force user, who connected with all Dead Jedi , to battle her Evil GrandDaddy , Sith Lord Palpatine and uses not one, but two lightsabers, to blow him up.
    9) Rey experiences God-like Force Abilities when she brings Kylo back from near death & and then saves his spirit when she purges him of his evilness.
    10) Rey has succeeded in taking Luke’s Name “SKYWALKER” and his LEGACY
    11) Future Success is Starting up a NEW JEDI ACADEMY/ JEDI ORDER…She is a self Elected JEDI MASTER, cause no one in the Order is alive to initiate her to this status, Only Jedi ghosts are available.
    12) Rey Has all the answers ,knows it all, her way or the spacehighway !! She doesn’t Inspire anyone, but sure does deflate people around her.
    13) All the Beta Males are around Rey , treat her like she is better, she is in control and they would never talk down to her (like han did with leia) ?
    REY *_MARY SUE_* : a type of female character who is depicted as unrealistic and has no flaws or weaknesses in her character. Mary Sue REY is good at everything without even trying. She can rescue herself from any situation. she never fails in her ability to do difficult things. She is an idealized woman, a perfect character, and someone who upstages all other characters she is on screen with. She has no character arc, her development remains static due to her being perfect in all disciplines in which she partakes. Rey’s a character with strength and unlimited power that isn't justified. Rey represents women who can achieve greater things than men.

      While its indeed dumb, i dont think thats what ruined it. more like the retconning from TROS, which is actually disgusting. THe last jedi wasnt a good movie but atleast it tried to close down some plots so that the finale could focus on the actual conflict or give other characters a time to shine. Instead we get a ''rey trying to find her lineage'' for the fucking third time. This is what makes it a failed trilogy. By the end it managed to say absolutly nothing. Say what you want about the last jedi but its definitly the more superiour movie in this trilogy. The force awakens is just a nostalgia trip and TROS is a retcon to try and please an already dissapointed fanbase.

From Kylo ren his mask to Rey finishing her story we all lost that for a predicatble basic kids ending and a bad Deus ex machina at that.

      I read a book about Dostoevsky, and he had the same pressure towards the end of his life. Working on the biggest novel he had ever written, had epilepsy, gambling problems, money problems and was gonna die soon. He didn't have the amazing Kathleen Kennedy, though, so he did what any self-respecting, epileptic 19th century Russian with a gambling problem would do: he locked himself in a room until he was done and then died. The result was the best novel in human history, while the result of having the amazing Kathleen Kennedy instead was the most horrifically bad movie trilogy in human history.
      Lock yourself in a room until you're done next time. That's my conclusion. Lucas legacy will now be that he lived in Hollywood and wrote some horseshit. He deserves better, but hey: these movies exist now because of him. He's gonna have to wear it.

Someone else should have made 8, probably the same person who made the scripts to 7 so it makes sense. Then 9 would actually make sense, and would be a good ending to the saga. To top it all off, have JJ doing visuals with somebody else making sure they make sense, and then the sequels could possibly be good. Either way, they would be better than what we were given.

    What's even funnier about the weight argument is the weight of the crew. There's almost 47k people on one of these things. At an average of 180lbs, that's 8.5 million pounds per ship in just the people on board and lifting 1000 of them would mean lifting over 4.2 million tons. That's just the people. Using the ISS is a laughably generous size too.
    It's big enough for 7 people. That's it. Since you used carriers for construction lets use them as a reference for mass. A carrier is about 100k long tons and has 5k on board. So scaled up for 47k, that's just shy of a *million* long tons. There's 1000 of them so combined we get about a *billion* long tons or 1x10^12 kg. That's getting into the mass of range of small moons. Dude can literally toss around capital ships like they're candy but somehow is beaten.

      Disney didn’t do a thing dumb fuck. Kennedy. Kennedy fucked us, Disney just promotes it. Note to everyone in the comments, DISNEY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RUININGING STARWARS. Disney is simply the owner and promoter, you can’t claim they ruined it even they have no control over directing the films. And they unlike Kennedy love starwars, and want to promote it, they are the reason we have galaxies edge, and all the Easter eggs from the films within the land, as well as everything you could have wanted as a kid.
      Kennedy is the person to blame, and as of now she has been announced to be fired this year. She has zero control over anything starwars and is working to quit.

    Thank you! Couldn't have said it better. I turn 50 in a few days. My Dad took me to see Star Wars in 1977 and it made me who I was. Not am. Because it was ruined. Because of these greedy fools. I still surround myself with my beloved nostalgia. But it died with Rise. I watched 7 countless times. Even gave 8 8 to 10 views trying my hardest to love it. I fell asleep in the theater during 9 and never bothered to watch it at home.
    I think we have all found Solace in Mando and Obi Wan. Which has been nice. Filled with the same bs. But there's been more fun from them than anything in the movies. But Kathleen and JJ just killed the spirit inside my aging achy bones. We deserved better.
    I will say this. I love Rogue One and am excited for Andor. Ya Im behind. Because of the former I just don't care as much. And there were a lot of good things from the shows. Excited to see Ahmed in Mandalorian S3! I hope it went over well. He deserves it. But Holy crap I've never been more disappointed than how they handled what could have been great.

Still wonder what could have been if Nolan would have done all 3! As practical as possible. Wonder if that was ever considered? Lol. Probably not. But with the Star Trek Star Wars divide since I was a kid in the 70s. Getting the director from the Star Trek movies should have been a sign. 😃 I'm kidding I was happy they got him. But they should have either had Johnson do all three or Abrams. But still kinda think Nolan would have killed it.

I didn't just pull something random out of the sarlacc pit-no joke, but he is ironically part of the Expanded Universe/Legends continuity (albeit non-canonically); the same continuity that Disney erased just to replace it with a terrible, nonsensical nightmare Luke just had in his sleep after a night of partying with the Ewoks on Endor.

    JJ Abrams has NO IDEA how to formulate a conclusion/wrap up of ANY plot thread he's ever introduced into any project he's ever worked on. He has made more money than God doing nothing but keeping the audience off-balance by simply "throwing more shit at them" without answering a fucking thing about anything going on in his "stories".
