Fun fact: the stormtrooper that release Rey is Daniel Craig, the most recent 007. He was filming nearby and got asked to do this cameo.
The soldiers number similar to FN 2187 was JB007. Just a wonderful detail.
No way!
I went and doublechecked the number. It was nicknamed JB007, but it really was FN1824. Well... Thats boring
@@mrborgeusborg1541 My mind canon: It was JB007.
@@mrborgeusborg1541 they’re always pulling EASTER EGG crap instead of writing an interesting, coherent story
I don't know about the rest of you, but I always tear up when I see our Princess. RIP Carrie Fisher. You will always be royalty to us.
Hearing her recite her message to Obi-wan in full throughout the years was always great.
@@callmeshaggy5166 But now it only brings tears! And the fact that she gave her on screen son Ben's name. Then go back to the moment young Leia said goodbye to Obi Wan on the landing platform.

I not only cry because I miss her, but because her final performances were wasted on material that was beneath her abilities as an actress and the legacy of the character she helped forge.
Just hearing her theme kills me.
"All you've seen is sand... and Anakin hates sand..."
Addie is slowly becoming one of us... ;)
One of us.
She'll hate it then, just like us.
@@MichaelJohnsonAzgard speak for yourself. I liked 7 and 8. I hated 9.
@@havok6280 Well 7 and 8 destroyed the original characters, their legacy and the Force, so...
@Саша Черняк yeah, no. Again you're entitled to your opinion. Keep in mind, Luke in the novels also tried to murder his nephew. And poor Chewy had a moon dropped on him. So...
Say what you want about Ben but surviving a bow-caster shot (let alone from Chewie's Modded one) and still being able to literally survive in any fashion is kind of a baller move.
Yes. Chewie's bow-caster is a high caliber blaster. Those who took a hit literally got blown away, while Kylo just knelt and continue battling.
He should not have been bleeding
In a little bit of defense, Kylo was way further then any of the targets we've seen before get hit, so it might lose power over distance.
Given Kylo's strength with the force it's not entirely far-fetched that he could. And he was OBVIOUSLY well off his game the entire ensuing fights. Even Finn got a few good hits in on him. And he shouldn't have gotten anywhere near Kylo. Kylo was dropping blood on the snow and just not in good shape at all.
Yet he got slapped down in a saber duel by a slave who had never wielded a saber before let alone been trained.
"She doesn't have any training though! How in the world?"
Motto of the Sequel trilogy.
Is it a motto of the ST or is it a motto of the Palpatine family? Sheev was able to, entirely untrained, cook his entire family with Force Lightning in his teens.
SPOILERS: She is half of a dyad in the force, this was explained later. The stronger one gets, the stronger the other gets.
@C Summers The T-16 control panel was the same as an X-wing.
This was done intentionally by Incom.
Luke spent some time in a simulator, and got very good results.
Dax coached him though a lot of it.
Didn't you know this?
@C Summers you are the one getting all emo.
All i mentioned was that he did have some training, unlike Rey.
@C Summers it is all explained in the books. Learn to read. Get educated.
They really went "let's do a new hope, but again", and succeeded
Congratulations you're the lucky winner of the ongoing giveaway text me on telegram to claim your prize.
I don't know about 'succeeded' but they definitely tried it again.
@@Oxley016they 100% succeeded with this move, you know how much it made💀💀
@@InfamousTerry4 people buying tickets because they were promised a good movie doesn’t mean that the movie was actually any good.
The light sabre that Rey found was the one Luke lost in Empire Strikes Back when Vader cut off his hand. It originally belonged to Vader, but Obi Wan took it from him when he was defeating in Revenge of the Sith and eventually gave it to Luke in A New Hope.
And it frankly never should've been seen again.
@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy “how did you get that?”
“That’s a story for another time.”
In other words, the writers couldn’t even come up with an explanation to that bullplop.
@@CoffeeMatt10 Lazy writers
@@dallasyap3064 Bespin's Planet was miners. Miners specifically look for valuable things in the dirt. It is unbelievable to say that someone would nor have found found it.
@@jerrylouis8930 Considering how far it fell, I'm surprised it was still intact. One line in A New Hope that doesn't make sense to me is when Obi-Wan Kanobi told Luke Skywalker that Luke's father wanted him to have it but his uncle wouldn't allow it. Luke's father Anakin didn't ever want Luke to have his old light saber.
This film kind of came across to me as a greatest hits album of the original trilogy. From the start on a desert planet (although Tattoine seems positively idyllic compared to Jakku), Han in the Ben role, Maz's place evoking both Mos Eisley and Cloud City, as well as Maz herself having a bit of a Yoda vibe, and the Starkiller attack evoking the second Death Star a lot more than the first. Also, Kylo killing Han was like a dark mirror to Vader saving Luke - where Vader turns against the dark side to save his son, Kylo completes his journey toward it by killing his father.
Chewie seemed much more of an equal than a sidekick in this film. I liked it.
The Force seems more supernatural than it ever has before.
I loved how instantly Finn and Poe bonded, as well as Rey and Finn's gushing praise to each other after fighting the TIE's.
An elephant in the room for this film was always going to be how its dark side Force user would live up to Darth Vader, so I think it was a genius choice to make that an in character dilemma for him.
When this opened, you couldn't go anywhere online without people dropping spoilers left and right.
Rei can use the force with such skill with bo training because she's written as a Mary Sue. Period.
23:35 -- "She hasn't had any training, though... how in the world?!" . . . and there you hit the nail on the head as to why a lot of OT/PT fans don't like Rey's character. I like her personality and interactions with the other characters a lot, but never liked how she's just good at EVERYTHING the first time she does it. No other character in Star Wars is like that. Even in Lucas' scripts and interviews he said that Leia had more potential (and would end up being more powerful) than Luke, but she still had to TRAIN to be a Jedi first!
ever hear of ' Joan of Arc' a true story, Her trial record exists.
This question is answered in Episode IX.
Luke had no training before he blew up the death star, definitely less than Rey who grew up alone on a desert planet scavenging to earn food. Anakin had no training when he did similar things as a tiny child in the Phantom Menace.
@@SeanS102 Luke had an entire squadron with him, and Han saved his ass right before he blew up the Death Star, with the aid of Ben's ghost guiding him (who had at least explained the force to him and guided him through some exercises a bit before he died). Anakin was literally conceived by the force, and won a podrace as a child, he didn't fight a dark side user with training until he'd already started his padawan training.

The biggest missed opportunity was not having Luke, Leia and Han all in one scene together.
Because the hack writers clearly didn't give a shit.
@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy
Christ...
It would've been so cool. But it would also have been pure fan service. If there had been an overall plan, no one but trolls would care. As it is, it's a total missed opportunity.
@@kevinhegwood615 The whole movie was fan service with nostalgia so I wouldn’t haven’t minded it esp. since Carrie passed after TLJ 😭
@@MatthewVlossak fair enough. Personally, I liked the story in eps 7 &8, with the legacy characters adding to the arcs of our new heroes and villian...execution, failed humor, and sh#t ending kinda sours me on alot. TBH, I fell for some of that obvious fan service in the theaters.
19:16 Remember the last time we saw Luke with his lightsaber, it was green. This one is blue...that means that this is the lightsaber he was using when Vader chopped off his hand.
This movie and Rogue One revived my love for Star Wars. The sequel trilogy turned out really bad and sad in the end, but Rogue One is fantastic and it made me watch Clone Wars and Rebels which is some of the best Star Wars out there. :)
Yeah, this is the first Star wars movie I ever got to watch in theaters and I was really excited for where they were going to go with it.. too bad it fizzled out so horribly. I think people would look back on this one a lot more fondly if the sequels to it had been better.
Agreed this one is decent. It did make me go into various shows n I appreciate, 2nd & 3rd of trilogy awful 😢
Bad in your opinion, plenty of people loved it.
Rogue One freaking blew me away. I absolutely 100% on board after seeing that. Then saw this one and was a bit shaky, but thought ok we gave props to a New Hope to show the passing of the torch from the old to the new. Then I saw 8 and wondered how much scotch I had left at home to go drowned myself in and relieve the pain.
For those of us that waited 40 years... or near enough, for the next chapter to come out... it was great to see so much of our old team back together. And sad that they waited so long that some of the cast were unable to enjoy the success of these movies.
Luke... appearing for about 2 min at the end confused the newcomers to Star Wars. And disappointed many big fans of the originals. :) But at least we didn't have to wait years/decades for more.
Another adorable reaction Addie.

"but she had no training, so how?"
This is what everyone said.
Congratulations you're the lucky winner of the ongoing giveaway text me on telegram to claim your prize.
It's only what people who haven't been paying attention have said. I mean, how many Jedi have talked about balance for 6 previous movies and how many HUNDREDS upon HUNDREDS of books? There are no Jedi. Someone is obviously going to be in tune with the force intuitively far more than anyone else. Anakin was intuitively using the force to quicken his reflexes to pod race as a child. So was Luke flying through Beggars canyon and bullseyeing womprats. And for Anakin that was with lots of other jedi out there. For Luke even there were two extremely powerful Jedi still around. For Rey, there are none. At all. (Luke doesn't count for reasons). It is literally explained by the canon films and the EU.
I know most people think things started going off the rails in the next movie, but, really, many of the problems in the subsequent movies (and TV series) were set up right here from the start, IMO, so I don't know why this one still tends to get a free pass 🤷♂ (and it goes beyond the fact that the plot is mostly just a rehash of ANH's and all the shallow, pandering nostalgia-baiting). You've got the utter lack of exposition between Eps. VI & VII, numerous crucial plot points having happened off-screen between VI & VII (thus having to introduce flashbacks, even though none of the first 6 movies had any -- thus creating an internal storytelling inconsistency within the saga), the virtually non-existent world-building, returning OT characters all doing things that run contrary to their established character arcs and where we last left them, the often more modern/MCU-esque dialogue (as opposed to the stylized '30s/'40s movie speak of Eps. I-VI) and humor, taking the laws of both the Force and hyperspace into highly questionable directions, the general feeling of there not being any real stakes, the lack of any new and distinct/unique sounds, incredibly clunky combat and (especially) lightsaber duel choreography, no new spacecraft/weaponry/militia/etc. (all just slightly modified stuff from the OT), totally non-descript planets (again, more repeated OT stuff), boring costume and art designs, uninspired alien and creature designs that mostly don't really look all that Star Wars-y, alien characters being almost completely relegated to the background, bland/vaguely-written new characters, the reappearance/overinflated importance of items from the OT that we really never should've seen again (Anakin's/Luke's old lightsaber, Vader's remains, etc.), painfully self-aware/virtually fourth wall-breaking winks to Eps. I-VI (IV-VI especially), the list goes on...
I won't even touch Han's totally undignified, largely shrugged-off death.
Agree with most of your points, but to be fair - even before the Disney era, a lot of additional Star Wars content was rehashing the old formula over and over again.
Empire builds ANOTHER super weapon, ANOTHER drama connected to the Skywalker family and friends, ANOTHER superweapon, welp, there's the Skywalker clan again... in that regard, the sequels were right in line.
That's why the series work so well for the most part, as they show us the underbelly of Star Wars - they use the main story line just as background, but let the stories (for the most part) work for themselves (Kenobi, as per definition, being a bit of an outlier here) and just give us minor intersections with the "same old, same old" things in Star Wars.
@@agp11001 To be fair, George Lucas has claimed on several occasions that the Death Star was always supposed to be an endgame element of the story... but, given that sequels weren't an automatic guarantee back when he made ANH, he had no choice but to make a condensed version of the whole story into that one movie at the time. Otherwise, he made a point in giving us new and different elements in all the subsequent movies he made, as opposed to giving us the same old shit the way Jar Jar Abrams and his shallow 'mystery box' gimmick did.
@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy Now don't go all protective of the pre-Disney era here, there was plenty of rehashing the same bullcrap we got in the Disney sequels back in the old movies.
The "let's build another Death Star" trope is purely on the shoulders of Lucas with Return of the Jedi, and it just snowballed back when Lucas & Co were still in charge. The Maw Installation with another Death Star and the Sun Crusher, the World Devastator, the Galaxy Gun - all of that was in the nowadays highly lauded EU and should be just as ridiculed by fans as Starkiller Base, but the (definitely deserved) Disney hate train just conveniently leaves these things out and bashes TFA as if ANOTHER empire superweapon, ANOTHER mysterious nondescript superpowered Force user, ANOTHER last minute fighter incursion, etc. were something Star Wars would never do were it not for Disney.
I'm not defending the JJ era, and I would have loved for the sequel trilogy to be way better, but that "everything was better in the old times" attitude is just asinine.
@@agp11001 All they had to do was follow the ST story Lucas gave them to use in the first place... and keep him around in an advisory role in terms of story, lore, mythology, world-building, design, etc. -- but, no, those morons clearly thought they understood this universe better than its own creator. Nothing arrogant or hubristic about that. No, sir. 🙄
You cannot believe how crazy I went when the trailers popped up the first week for this! It was EPIC!!
With each new reactor and their videos who start the final movies, I get to enjoy them all over again.
11:12 .... 20:50 .... The excitement of seeing them again!! Yes there were tears of joy!!
I love how you fell in love with BB-8 immediately just like I did!!
I cannot wait for the next video!! Take care, Addie!!
May The Force Be With You, Always
Is the people who support the Star Wars? Sequel trilogies are the people who only support the Disney Star Wars. The real Star Wars supporters supports George Lucas and his 6 movies.
"The way that ended I'm so excited to see what comes next!" Pretty much how we all felt, still wish we could go back in time and have the next two movies actually make sense with this one.
This movie is good, I actually liked it and it gave me hope for the new trilogy, then the rest of the trilogy happened. There's still cool things in the rest of the trilogy, but some real strange creative choices were made, to say the least
No. It already destroyed all legacy of the original characters: Empire hasn't fallen, Sith aren't gone, Han and Leia are not together, Luke left everyone like a coward, no Jedi Order, no New Republic, etc...Rey was already a Mary Sue, Kylo was pathetic and Finn's arc was already wasted.
How?

The Last Jedi is the best one
I was really excited for films 2 and 3, then I saw them and was crushed by them. I'm a lifelong Star Wars fan heck my name is an obscure reference, yea I'm that type of nerd. To this day I do not recognize this trilogy as part of the lore.
your point is dead on at the end. How does she know how to use the force so well, with zero training? How does she know the mind control trick with no examples in her life to base it on? How does she know how to fight with a lightsaber, shouldn't she be just as inept as Finn? It goes DOWNHILL from there with the trailing movies.
I wanted to love these films so badly but there are significant flaws I can't unsee
I can understand the fighting one as you see her earlier on with her staff, so she must have learned at least some basic melee combat, but 100% for the Force abilities. Like a day earlier she JUST learned that the Jedi, Sith and everything is real, to using a Mind Trick. APPARENTLY it was explained when Kylo tried to probe her and she flipped it on him gaining some knowledge.
Meh lol
@@ColvyMolvy Lightsaber which has no weight and cuts everything does not translate into staff and vice versa.
@@user-xx6vy9ri8p even though it does not make logical sense but in the star wars universe there is a pretty good weight to lightsabers. Lucas wanted it to feel like holding a real sword.
Di$ney Star Wars can be summed up in 2 quotes from this trilogy: "Let the past die; kill it, if you have to" and "That's not how the Force works." 🤢
@Darkstar nuh uh you're sad
"Evil cannot create anything new, it can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made"
- JRR Tolkien
Ray has the rare force power called pychometry the ability to get visions from items she touches
That was the lightsaber that Luke lost on Empire Strikes Back when his hand was cut, the one which was originally built by Anakin. Someone found it on Bespin after his fight with Vader, and it was sold and resold until it reached Rey.
I, and I believe many of old Star Wars fans as well, had so much hope for this sequel trilogy. The main problem is that the producers never had a clear vision about the kind of story they wanted to tell with it, so it went all over the place. Beautiful visuals, but no soul. They are not that bad, but they could be so much better than they were, it was really disappointing.
Trivia: the trooper that Rey mind tricks to let her escape was played by Daniel Craig, at the time the actor who was the official James Bond. :) Prince William and Prince Harry also played troopers on this movie, but their scene was cut from the final edit.
I thought you wrote sold and resold on eBay when I first read it.

Fun fact: the stormtrooper Rey pulls her first Jedi mind trick on is played by Daniel Craig. He was filming the Bind movie "SPECTRE" in the next door studio.
BB-8 is the cutest droid ever. He’s the highlight of this trilogy.
The island that Luke Skywalker was hiding on is an island I used to fish from with my grandfather. It’s just off the west coast of Ireland.
Some fun facts: You mentioned to frequency of arms being removed in Star Wars films. In a deleted Bar scene, the Junk dealer from Jakku who gives "half portions" catches up with the gang in the bar. The dealer Unkar Plutt (played by Simon Pegg) pisses off Chewie by poking at Chewies wounded arm. So Chewie rips off Plutt's arm. Don't want to anger a Wookie. In the final scenes right before Rey takes off, in the crowd scene C-3PO's has his normal gold back. Supreme Leader Snoke (the giant hologram) is played by Andy Serkis, well known as Gollum in the LOTR franchise.
I didn't actually recognize C3PO because I had grown accustomed to his red arm
Addie: "I like it but I have some questions, I presume theyll be answered over the next couple of movies though...."

I've always maintained that if you swap Rey with Luke, Poe with Leia, Finn with Han, and Han with Obi Wan, the plot of this movie is basically 95% the same as A New Hope
only 95% ?
Please give STAR TREK a chance! 🖖
No
Oh YES!
The only good trek are series..
🤧🥴😵💫🤢🤮
" Is that actually going to work? She hasn't had any training." Yup, that's a thing lol
Yes. What elevates the Sequels is John Williams.
The EU books gave Leia and Han twins.
It would have been wise to create a story where Ben Solo and Rey were the twins and made Finn the force sensitive prodigy.
So much to have considered for a rewrite.
But we have what we got. Okay.
some people thought Kylo's crossguard lightsaber was dumb when this movie came out but he clearly watched the last six movies and decided he didn't want his hands cut off
Quit while you’re ahead, this trilogy’s middle and ending chapters are just heartbreak and ashes. Disney has even recently disowned these three movies.

Actor who portrays Kylo Ren aka Ben Solo is Adam Driver. Out of all cast members, Adam has served in the service as US Marine. He joined the Marines right after 9/11. Then his service ended, Adam studied to become an actor.
Addie
That trooper who released Rey from shackles is Daniel Craig aka James Bond. That's his cameo in the movie.
As Finn said, Starkiller Base was actually a real planet, and the First Order turned it into a weapon. What planet was it originally before the First Order came around? That's more Clone Wars spoilers, I'm afraid. Also, Mark Hamill was originally gonna appear in the film earlier, but I think he asked to not have Luke be shown until the end, and I think the buildup to seeing him in this movie at last after so long was worth it, and the Skywalker theme music playing was like, "Aw, hell yeah." This movie did really well in the box office, as did the other two films, though maybe not AS well as this one. The Last Jedi was VERY divisive, so be prepared to see a lot - and I do mean a LOT - of comments from people who hated it.
You are correct, and I am eager to comment on that one when Addie gets around to watching it.

23:36 the first of many wtf moments in this trilogy.
30:29 Leia ignoring Chewie and hugging Rey… another wtf moment.
33:12 Rey is what’s referred to as a “Mary Sue”, she has these powers out of nowhere, no training (the combat training can be explained away by her fending for herself as a scavenger for 15-20 years, but the Force… uh-uh!), no explanation, just *poof* - mind tricks.
I remember seeing this in cinema… hard to forget, I was severely ill that morning, forced myself to go to work having booked my ticket for after my shift, got told “you look like s**t, go home” (always nice when even your manager is that honest 😂), managed to get to the cinema later and sit through it without any further 🤮 moments, and thinking at the end “this was very similar to Ep. IV, I’m ok with it, but I would’ve liked something different.”
It set up so much potential… I’ll just say that IMO the following 2 sequels let that potential go out the window at light speed. But absolutely judge it for yourself.

Addie, I won't spoil your journey through the next 2. I've enjoyed many of your reactions. Although this is my first comment. I certainly love the way you react to some of my favorite movies. That said, it's not the movie I didn't like. There are over 20 years of novels (now referred to as Legends) that when Lucas allowed original stories to be told, he had a mandate that ALL the novels be canon to every story previously written. So with over 20 years of continuous stories and character development, many fans hoped to see some of that universe that was created. Kathleen Kennedy through the books out the window and ignored an entire universe of stories that the fans loved.
That is my main point of contention. But, since you're not aware of the Legends, I'll be interested in your reactions and take. I'll comment on episode 9 to give you my take on the entire trilogy. Thanks and keep up your journey. 😊😊
As much as I liked the first movie in this trilogy, there were some issues, like another "death star" and how Rey was perfect at using the force with no training. Both Luke and Anakin needed training and they were both powerful force users
There were plenty more issues than that.

This first one is the best of the three in my opinion!

18:22 that is the "old" lightsaber. Made by Anakin, the one Luke lost at Bespin when he lost his hand. After that Luke made a new one.
The hype surrounding this movie was surreal. I’ll never forgot the excitement I had prior to walking into the theater. That excitement turned into anger and frustration after I saw The Last Jedi. The sequels had so much potential.
The only decent disney star wars movie was rogue one, and that one is still a little boring.
And yes, I really liked this one until I saw the last jedi... then I went back and watched this one again and suddenly picked up on a lot of things that in my fervor to love a new star wars movie I missed!
Some people like them though!
@@ar47yrr4p Rogue One is my favorite Disney made SW’s! It gave the grit and grounded aesthetic I always wanted to see in SW’s like how Blade Runner is made
He's named Ben after "Old Ben Kenobi" in Star Wars episode 4.
thank you for reacting to the force awakens :) i really enjoyed the film in the cinemas
Harrison Ford only agreed to do the film if Han died in it. He wanted the character to be killed before, but was refused.

I agree. Star Wars just keeps rehashing the death star, brother-sister thing ad nauseum, with cute toys thrown in.

So, when Ep. 7 was announced, they weren't doing midnight shows, so I bought a ticket for a showing at 4 in the mornng. Which, to be fair, is something kinda neat. How often can you see a movie at 4 am? And then the Thursday shows were announced too, so I bought tickets for that one too. You know, because someone might spoil it in those 3-4 hours. Got about 3 hours of sleep that night.
I have been a Star Wars fan my entire life. My father took me to see it when it came out in London a couple of days after Christmas I was almost 5 years old. The Star Wars figures and ships were the majority of my toys in my childhood. Back in the day we used to have to wait for these movies to be played on the big screen or they would play them at special times of the year like Christmas. This is before people had video tapes and then DVDs and now being able to stream it at your convenience, so it was only certain times of the year I could watch my heroes. I would get the TV Guide and mark out the date and time to make sure I did not miss it. First, it was Star Wars then several years later, the Empire strikes back, and finally the return of the Jedi. These were some of the cornerstones of my childhood. When he did the prequel’s it was a little different, but it was still Star Wars. They Disney took control of the franchise. I have to admit when they first took control. I was excited as they have created things like pirates of the Caribbean, which I was a big fan off. So to hear a big company with lots of money, taking control of the franchise I was looking forward to seeing what they would create.. the first film I saw was rogue one I thought it was a different take, but really enjoyed it. The only thing I felt, was missing to make it feel like Star Wars to me was John Williams is music. But overall it was an enjoyable movie. Then I heard about the new trilogy and it was going to bring back the original characters. It was like all of my childhood. Christmases came at the same time. I watched the first movie. The one you watched in this reaction came out of the cinema, confused and disappointed. It had so many elements from a new Hope it just felt like a rip off, but the story was shockingly. Bad from dialogue to character development and even though it’s a fictional movie aspects of it made no sense. I also feel like they disrespected my childhood heroes. They turned them into a big bunch of losers and failures. Do you only part of this movie that was any good whatsoever was John Williams’s music. The rest of it completely heartbroken and disappointed by it.. as for the two movies that followed it. Well they’re just pure shit…. As a result of this and the disrespect for the characters, the franchise and the fans, are you avoid everything to do with Disney they will not receive a penny from me for the rest of my life. I find what they did was immensely unforgivable they took away my childhood heroes, my last chance to see them all again on the big screen larger than life, and they turned these legends into disgruntled failures.
The expressions that cross Rey's face as she gives him the lightsaber are amazing.
I for one didn't find anything wrong with Rey being so strong and knowing how to do things with the Force. She'd heard stories, and it needed her and called to her. The whole story of the Force is like that. That's what happened with Luke: he had 15 minutes blindfolded with a training ball on the Falcon, and then he was able to destroy the Death Star with his eyes closed.
What happens in ep 9 with her heritage was unnecessary. JJ Abrams said after Ep 7 and before ep 8 that her story was to find herself without a simple answer by any family ties. It would have been better that way, but the whole series is about retconning and recycling old story elements.
The bad guys didn't have any idea who they were dealing with, trying to get her to turn to the dark side. This is the kid, alone on Jakku, who was willing to go hungry so that the little 'droid she'd just met could stay free.
She certainly didn't need any obstacle course physical exercise training. Every day of her life had been that, and she had a big, good heart. Not ever a jedi (she didn't have a bit of their old-school official training), but she was _better_ at heart than any of them.
People seem to forget that in "Empire", before Luke trains with Yoda, and only has a slight introduction to the force form Ben, that he was able to use the force to pick up his light saber in the ice cave. I have a lot of problems with the sequel trilogy, a lot, but Rey's ability to use the force without training isn't one of them.
@@gordonduke8812 Same. Her ability to use the force is explained adequately by the previous 6 films multiple times.
@JFrazer4303 As to her heritage... the script that was going to be Ep 9 before the fandom had an absolute shit fit after 8 and Abrams took over again... would have been beyond epic as hell. It probably would have pissed fans off even more actually but it would have been unbelievably epic levels of awesome.
@@gordonduke8812 Luke practised on his own for 3 years before he performed that force pull in Empire. Rey can instantly use a stronger force pull than Kylo on her first try and on her first day of using the force.
@@gordonduke8812 You answered it yourself. Ben introduced Luke and started his training. Rey had no one that did this for her.
@@mycroft16 Pffffffffffffffffft. It is absolutely NOT explained in the previous 6 films because in the previous 6 films, you had to be trained to consciously use the Force.
C3PO and R2D2 are the constant in the live-action movies. The sequel trilogy could considered a continuation of their story.

This one's the best of the sequel trilogy. Mostly because it copies A New Hope in many ways. But also because Harrison Solo finally got to do the death scene for Han Solo that he'd wanted for so long. That moment did not disappoint.
Yeah it did.

None of these sequel trilogies are good. You must be a Disney Star Wars supporter and not a George Lucas fan and supporter.
@@louiedavis4909 I'm not tribal. Silliness.
She is the person strongest with the force, and even tho she hasn't had any training, she can get into the mind of Kylo.. He was trying to get into her mind, she let him, then studied what he was doing, then quickly did it back... People often miss that. And at the end when they are fighting with the Sabres.. He was winning until he brought up the force.. She got into his head, learned all his moves, then did them back to him... In a sense, she doesn't need training, but if she has training she will be very powerful... Great reaction. Thank you. 😊
I would say something about her lineage here, but it would ruin 2 and 3 for Addie, so I will leave it at that. But think about that for a second.
... even though Anakin was The Chosen One yet still had to rigorously train. 🙄 #thatsnothowtheForceworks
Luke still has his green lightsaber from Return of the Jedi. The one Max had was Anakin's. The one that Luke lost on Cloud City when Vader cut off his hand. As for how it was retrieved, fuck if we know!
Congratulations you're the lucky winner of the ongoing giveaway text me on telegram to claim your prize..
R2`s heart was broken as Anakin said: "stay with the ship" and never came back. SO as Luke went he just said fuck this family.
The lightsaber that Maz Katana hands over to Rey is not Luke's most current lightsaber, (the green one he built for Episode 6: Return of the Jedi), rather it is the one that Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader used in his duel with Obi Wan Kenobi on Mustafar. After Obi Wan cut off Anakin's limbs, as he was leaving he picked up Anakin's blue lightsaber. At the beginning of Episode 4: A New Hope, Obi Wan passes the blue lightsaber to Luke who uses it until Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back. (So Darth Vader / Anakin Skywalker would have recognized his old lightsaber being wielded against him.) In the scene when Darth Vader cuts off Luke's hand, both the hand and blue lightsaber are lost. There are E.U. stories about what became of Luke's hand, and Maz indicates that there is a good story about how she came into possession of the lightsaber as well, but she says it's a story for another time.

Thank you for having a great reaction video from the perspective of a non toxic Star Wars fan.
The hype for this before it came out was unreal. It had been 10 years since Revenge of the Sith came out. However I’m going to reserve my thoughts until you have finished this trilogy.

Still enjoy this movie. It's a bit derivative, but it refreshed everything I like about Star Wars. The arrival of the reistance in the X-wings gives me chills, I love it.
Downhill from here though, sadly.
For me, Kylo Ren is one of the most fascinating characters in Star Wars. Just because he's not vader 2.0. He really is a vulnerable character. That's what makes him so interesting to me. The first time we see him he's wearing armor and helmet and it's very reminiscent of vader. And he just kills that old man.. And we think yep we have vader 2.0 here
But then we find out after Kylo Ren takes off the mask that it's just a boy. And not even some badly injured boy with scars or anything.. No just a boy who even has tears in his eyes if you look properly. Because he tells himself he's a lot better than he actually is. That makes it complex. He is actually the opposite of anakin. Anakin Skywalker has constantly felt the pull from the dark side. Kylo is the opposite. He is on the dark side (no sith that's another thing) and feels this pull to the light side. And he just doesn't want to give in to that. And that's exactly why he murdered his father in tears. Just to swear allegiance to the dark side.. To prove to yourself that he can be that vader successor.. Which he just isn't. And it's played so cleverly.. like they knew people would insult him as vader 2.0.. which is exactly his character arc. Kylo Ren evolves in every single film.. From the guy who just wants to imitate Vader.. To the guy who kills his own.. You know.. All the way to Ben Solo. As someone who writes one or the other character himself this is so well done and although I think Disney has pretty much busted Star Wars with the overabundance of content and the split between legends and canon.. Because legends will just keep getting better because it's just the original.. Kylo Ren is a tremendously good character.
Kylo's arc: "I'm bad, now I'm good, now I'm bad, now I'm good"
Worst bit in this movie: Leia ignores Chewie and embraces Rey (whom she doesn't know in the slightest) to console her about losing Han (whom Rey only knew for a DAY). Shoddy writing doesn't even begin to cover how stupid that scene was.
Regardless, I enjoyed your reaction Addie as always despite how bad the movie was. I will follow your journey through this trilogy because it's you reacting.

23:35: Well, the very first Jedi had to figure this stuff out on their own, right?
Between "The Empire Strikes Back" and the Prequels, the implication is that it doesn't take years of study to learn to use the Force. The reason the Prequel Jedi only trained infants is because they needed to essentially raise them in the Jedi Way to keep them from going to the Dark Side (and even then, it didn't always work). Their great failure with Anakin was due to them having become so ideologically inbred that they just had no idea how to cope with Anakin's needs, since he didn't think like them. Personally, the hypothesis I liked best for Rey's skills with the Force is that she's just really, really naturally gifted with one specific Force technique: the ability to defend yourself from other Force powers, and potentially turn those powers back on the person using them. She does it against Kylo Ren with the mind probe, and that showed her how the Force is used to manipulate minds, so she could give the old Jedi Mind Trick a try. Every Force Power she uses is one that has first been used on her, more or less. Mind Probe to Mind Trick, hurled against a tree to calling a lightsaber to her, being attacked with a lightsaber to attacking with a lightsaber (and the Force empowers a Jedi's swordsmanship, make no mistake). I liked that explanation. That's not what they went with, but. . .
Also, really watch "A New Hope". Aside from the Force Choke and Luke's shot against the Death Star, both of which have had other explanations in other expanded Star Wars lore, nowhere in the movie is telekinesis presented as a thing the Force lets you do. We certainly never see Obi-Wan teaching it to Luke. Then, in "Empire Strikes Back," Luke, with some effort, can summon his lightsaber to his hand. Luke learned a brand new Force Power we were given no reason to believe existed prior to that point offscreen between movies, and no one cared. Rey, with some fumbling, figures out the very second Force Power we were ever exposed to onscreen, "AND EVERYONE LOSES THEIR MINDS!"
29:54: "What has he been missing?" A lot, actually. Yeah, he's powerful and has some skills, but really watch his fights against Finn and Rey. He's honestly not even as good as Luke was when he faced Vader in "Empire." People assume that Kylo Ren is some highly trained, peak-of-his-powers Sith Lord like Dooku, or Vader during the Mustafar duel. He's NOT. He's partially trained, and explicitly NOT a Sith. That's actually the complaint that bothers me the most, because it's just pure nonsense. Kylo Ren isn't an endgame boss mob, he's not the extremely powerful villain the heroes will have to work together and gain skill and power to defeat. He's at their level, a comparative noob. I actually thought he was a really interesting opportunity for a villain, one who would gain in skill and power as the heroes do, always being roughly on par with them. Again, that's not the way things ultimately went, sadly.

My Problems with this Movies can be summaried in on sentance.
"Why Didnt they plan a Story"
That would take writing and I'm not sure they knew how to do that.
Seeing this part in the movie theater we all were waiting like you were I can't wait till the next movie cuz you get Luke but you'll see
Thoughts about the sequel films aside.... The fact that they had all three original characters/actors in one film and didn't feel the need to have them be in a scene together......what a colossal mistake.

This was a good start to the trilogy. Unfortunately it's all downhill from here. Well besides the phenomenal Rogue One.
Not really. Many of the problems in the subsequent movies (and TV series) were set up right here from the start, IMO, so I don't know why this one still tends to get a free pass 🤷♂ (and it goes beyond the fact that the plot is mostly just a rehash of ANH's and all the shallow, pandering nostalgia-baiting). You've got the utter lack of exposition between Eps. VI & VII, numerous crucial plot points having happened off-screen between VI & VII (thus having to introduce flashbacks, even though none of the first 6 movies had any -- thus creating an internal storytelling inconsistency within the saga), the virtually non-existent world-building, returning OT characters all doing things that run contrary to their established character arcs and where we last left them, the often more modern/MCU-esque dialogue (as opposed to the stylized '30s/'40s movie speak of Eps. I-VI) and humor, taking the laws of both the Force and hyperspace into highly questionable directions, the general feeling of there not being any real stakes, the lack of any new and distinct/unique sounds, incredibly clunky combat and (especially) lightsaber duel choreography, no new spacecraft/weaponry/militia/etc. (all just slightly modified stuff from the OT), totally non-descript planets (again, more repeated OT stuff), boring costume and art designs, uninspired alien and creature designs that mostly don't really look all that Star Wars-y, alien characters being almost completely relegated to the background, bland/vaguely-written new characters, the reappearance/overinflated importance of items from the OT that we really never should've seen again (Anakin's/Luke's old lightsaber, Vader's remains, etc.), painfully self-aware/virtually fourth wall-breaking winks to Eps. I-VI (IV-VI especially), the list goes on...
I won't even touch Han's totally undignified, largely shrugged-off death.

Hi good day Addie! Looking forward to your Star Wars Sequel Trilogy reactions! May the Force be with you always :)
32:09 - no, you're not. lower you expectations.
you have 2 more movies on the MCU before Endgame - build your expectations toward that.
these movies would have been way better if they dropped Rey, and made it about FN2187 the storm trooper who becomes a jedi
I'm not a huge fan of the Disney Star Wars stuff but I really like this movie. There was a lot of potential here and they screwed it by switching directors and not having a plan for all 3 movies.
No. It already destroyed all legacy of the original characters: Empire hasn't fallen, Sith aren't gone, Han and Leia are not together, Luke left everyone like a coward, no Jedi Order, no New Republic, etc...Rey was already a Mary Sue, Kylo was pathetic and Finn's arc was already wasted.
They screwed it up by throwing out the story Lucas gave them to use in the first place and basically banning him from any involvement and then replacing said story with pandering 'Member Berries and awful glorified fanfic.
@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy I disagree. I saw the outline for that story and it sounded terrible. Remember 2 of the 3 prequels are absolutely terrible. There’s some good stuff in them but episodes 1 and 2 are very bad. 3 is pretty good but there’s a lot of bad in there too.
@@Jumpman67 The problem with the prequels was strictly execution, IMO. The story was there. I'll die on the hill that it would've been nearly on par with the OT with a more deft screenwriter and a more actor-friendly co-director working with Lucas (which he tried to get, but all those he asked told him he should just make the movies himself).
I'm still not convinced Lucas' true ST story has been officially released, since I've heard conflicting versions, but, again, I'll die on the hill that it ultimately would've been much more imaginative and compelling than the shit we got. This trilogy was doomed the moment they made the decision to basically undo and then re-do nearly everything from the OT... and there were so many other things on which they totally missed the boat: the utter lack of exposition between Eps. VI & VII, numerous crucial plot points having happened off-screen between VI & VII (thus having to introduce flashbacks, even though none of the first 6 movies had any -- thus creating an internal storytelling inconsistency within the saga), the virtually non-existent world-building, returning OT characters all doing things that run contrary to their established character arcs and where we last left them, the often more modern/MCU-esque dialogue (as opposed to the stylized '30s/'40s movie speak of Eps.

I-VI (IV-VI especially), the list goes on...
If the PT was a shack built on solid ground, this trilogy was a fancy house built on quicksand. You can at least tear down the shack and rebuild something better in its place without any problems, whereas, no matter how many times you try to rebuild on that quicksand, it's always going to sink again at some point.

At first, I enjoyed The Force Awakens, but I don’t rewatch it anymore. Ultimately it was a fan service movie, making frequent callbacks to the original trilogy. It gave you a promise of new things to come, but it was an empty promise.
George Lucas didn’t direct every Star Wars movie up until then, but this sequel trilogy made it absolutely clear he was the glue that held the franchise together and gave it direction while he still owned the Lucasfilm franchise.
The same could not be said for JJ Abrams, who really just wanted an opportunity to go fanboy on a Star Wars movie and dip out right after. Even worse, you find as this trilogy progresses, the main plot arcs are entirely derived from the original trilogy, too. No original plot ideas, only inversions and set dressing.
Even Rey’s character suffered from poor storytelling. She was powerful only because the story needed her to be powerful, hence manifesting abilities in the force that neither Luke, Yoda, or Anakin could have done without training. And Anakin was literally conceived by the force. I’ll accept up to a point that she could intuit some things, providing the movie had actually supported it with scenes early on showing Rey using the force as a scavenger before leaving Jakkhu. But it did no such thing. It’s a key detail or Easter egg that a more carefully and thought out script would have included.
Too many glossed over details they’re hoping you won’t notice or pay attention to amidst all the action and special effects.
Most intelligent comment I've seen on this thread
27:24 Leia thinks: “Why am I not surprised? He couldn’t even bring a loaf of bread home whenever I asked.” 🙄
Hi Addie!🙂HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!🦃You are my FIRST reaction of the day. I was anxious to see your take on the newest Star Wars trilogy. I guess Harrison Ford asked George Lucas to kill off his character in the original trilogy, but Lucas thought that was too dark to kill off one of the main heroes. Probably his return was conditional that he get killed of this time (I guess). One of the top complaints about this film is that Rey seems to know how to do everything really well, including the force. Great reactions to another Star Wars film in your continuous jourrney, Addie!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Congratulations you're the lucky winner of the ongoing giveaway text me on telegram to claim your prize..
Considering Harrison Ford wanted to leave Han Solo behind after A New Hope, begged George to kill him off in Empire Strikes Back only to be talked into the love triangle story George had in mind for him and Leia. He really did not want to come back for another trilogy so while it is tragic from the characters point of view it was the only way Harrison was coming back. As for the trilogy it suffered dearly from having its show runner replaced as J J Abrams had a three story arch but was fired for the second one, only to be recalled to Save the franchise with the third.
The love triangle is pretty completely dissolved by the end of ep. V.
@@MrZackavelli There is that whole scene in VI George Lucas's set up Where Han and Leia are discussing Luke's return
..
Han "You love him don't you, it's OK when he gets back I won't get in the way"
Leaia "It's not like that, he's my Brother"

Leaia "It's not like that, he's my Brother" "
I'm sorry, is this supposed to be evidence to support your argument? Because it does the exact opposite.
A love triangle is a standard trope in fiction. It means two characters vying for the *romantic* love of a third character. Leia loving Luke because he's her brother while loving Han because he's her lover does not constitute a love triangle.
@@MrZackavelli the fact than Han Needs to ask is evidence of the love triangle to him there is still competition between him and Luke for Leaia's affection... it isn't till she says he's my brother that Han gets the idea that there is no competition
I love seeing Addie poke all these holes through this paper-thin plot
Actually, I believe that was the last Death Star-esque. Weapon.
This movie was a refreshing start, especially for those who were unhappy with the prequel styles.
As for the next two movies, I will... leave it to you to decide.
Fortunately you don't have to wait 4 years to get the rest of it.
As someone that didn't like the prequels, the new trilogy just made realise that maybe the prequels weren't so bad after all. I mean they are still bad, but at least they are improving the lore a bit while being bad. The new ones are made to sell cinema/theatre tickets and nothing else worthwhile
The only problem with the prequels was their execution. This trilogy was shit from the start. There was clearly no heart, care, or attention to detail here; it was all soulless, by-committee fanfic from the start. None of these morons actually fundamentally understood Lucas' vision.
The sequels turned the prequels into masterpieces.
Being a huge Star Wars fan I can say I did like this one, unfortunately I did not enjoy the next two. For me it seemed like Disney didn't have an overall plan and just started making it up as they went.

Furthermore, you do not mention any details of the giveaway, the least you could've done was pull something out of your ass. Also who tf uses telegram? You should use discord for this scam, it seems like this kind of thing is most lucrative if targeted at kids, and more kids are going to be using discord. Also, discord allows you to use the same name as someone else, so it's easy to impersonate someone. Scam better you dumbass
Luke train Rey? Why? She’s perfect! This movie takes place over two days and in that time she is able to do a Jedi Mind Trick (it took Luke 3 movies before he could do that), force pull a Lightsaber (Luke took 2 movies to do that) and hold her own with in a lightsaber duel and win (it took Luke 3 movies). She’s obviously an advanced z Jedi Master. The bestest of the bestest ever!
i still can't seem to figure out why they want Oscar Issac (Poe) to portray Solid Snake in the future Metal Gear Solid film. I just don't see it.
also i freaked out in the Cinema when i saw Han Solo. when he died i cried my eyes out.
