Rey naming herself Skywalker definitely feels like they picked the title of the movie first and got all the way through the script before realizing that "Rise of Skywalker" had nothing to do with anything that had happened
Indeed. Studio Board meeting "Hey guys, a bunch of SW nerds on twitter are complaining that The Last Jedi made luke into a flawed wimp, and now any old joe can be a jedi now! What about the freakin' midichlorians?! We need to bring things back Old School style!" "I Got it. We need to put "Skywalker" in the title!" "Yep, that'll attract those fans that are in fact only a small visible demographic of the true SW fanbase that we actually shouldn't care so much about."
Well the same thing happened in Phantom Menace so the series has a record of it.
@@weneedaladder8384 Phantom Menace pretty clearly refers to the Sith running things behind the scenes but not properly revealing themselves until the end of the movie. A more accurate comparison would probably be The Force Awakens, a film wherein the Force does not, at any point, awaken. Because, uh, that's not how the Force works.
The last Skywalker, Ben Solo rises out of the pit to save Rey. Palpatine says himself that Ben is the last Skywalker btw. That's partly what the title refers to.
its um... stylistically designed to be that way? 😆
If it was a transport ship that was identical to the one chewie was on, then that means it was a prisoner transport ship. Meaning Rey definitely still killed innocent prisoners
Yeah, but only one of them had an established & named character, so the statistics stands on that
Tbf other than chewie it seems like the first order didn’t succeed in capturing anyone and I doubt they were hauling around prisoners from a previous mission
🤷♀️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏻♂️
@@Cdr2002Then why did they need two prisoner transports?
@@ArtyomPlatonev oh I dunno, I ain’t a defender for the movie lmao I know it’s not that good. The real reason is the story needed a fakeout.

Nah that anger is completely rational
Funny that you call JJ a toddler for upending the previous movie. He was just inspired by previous toddler Rian Johnson. He talked about this in pre-release interviews, being inspired by Rian's "sod it" attitude. Also kind of hard to think Kylo was telling the truth when he told her she "had no place in the story" and she is literally the most important person in the trilogy. I think you just have some irrational attachment to Reylo.@@holographicwing
@@phonepunk7888what did Rian “upend” besides killing off Snoke in favor of the more interesting villain lol? I guess having the main three characters split up?
"an era of filmmaking where it seems more important to make sure that the audience doesn't predict what's going to happen over making a satisfying ending"
Subverting expectations indeed
The crazy thing is that jenny did predict Ray Palpatine 😢
I actually prefer the endings and plots that aren't predictable, because it's boring to follow the same basic storyline every online fan wants. This is part of why I loved The Last Jedi.
I'd say the problem with RoS is much more the opposite: all the story beats and plots are dumb and contrived for the sake of erasing all of the new, interesting lore built up in the last movie. They retconned all the actual character development so they could check off the boxes of Star Wars Thing Fans Want to See.
That honestly feels like a copout for not being a skilled enough author to set up and pay off stuff
Palpatine was able to intercept the force connection between Rey and Kylo, but thanks to Nord VPN you don't have to worry about anyone stealing your force connection

That would’ve been more entertaining than the dog crap ending we got

The ancient sith knife being exactly lined up with the fresh death star wreckage is beyond hilarious
That entire sequence tho. The death star somehow didnt get atomized even though we saw it happen. The remains of it landed on a random planet instead of floating in space or landing on Endor. The remains magically didnt burn up on entry or disintegrate on impact. The remains didn't shift or move from the insane tidal forces of the ocean it was sitting in for decades. The wreckage wasn't stripped and looted by the resistance even though its invaluable. Rey magically can handle a boat in a squall despite living on a desert forever. And just so much more.
As far as Sith artifacts go, that would be a pretty cool one.
That whole sequence felt like a Professor Layton puzzle

I'll never forget I had to use the bathroom during the movie, and when I got back I asked my wife what happened and she said "Oh Chewy was blown up in a space ship but we already know he's fine."
The way that Han Solo looked at Rey, when she wasn’t looking, had such sadness in it I thought for sure he suspected or outright knew exactly who she was. It didn’t have to be anyone important - a Kenobi or whatever - but imagine if Han knew her parents from his smuggling days or the rebellion and seeing this girl and being like “Okay, Force - I can take a hint.” Imagine if they threw a couple of douchebags in Solo, maybe friends of his, and they talk about their contacts in Jakku or one of them is pregnant or they jokingly offer to sell one of their kids for a whiskey - one of several kids. What if Han knew Rey was a no-one, and knew exactly what neglect had landed her on Jakku and it kills him that she thinks her parents are coming back because she’s clearly a way better person than they ever were? Luke, Leia - they wouldn’t get it because they had loving families, but Han would get it. It sets up the foil way better that Ben Solo is such a tremendous fuck up despite good people parents. But if Rey can choose to be good then so can Ben, and that gives Han hope - enough hope that he got close enough to let Ben kill him. Rey trying to redeem Ben is revealed to be her trying to forgive herself for force-crippling her parents ship or even just freaking them out by manifesting force powers, and Ben points out that she’s not very Jedi of her. That makes Rey doubt herself. Then she has an emotional journey to go through that Luke, guilty over losing Ben to the dark side, can actually help her with or even just be a companion as maybe he’s still working through it. Now you have spiritual stakes.
Hell, she can still be a Kenobi - maybe Obi-Wan’s parents sold him to the Jedi when his force powers manifested, and his siblings never manifested powers, but once one of their kids did they were like “oh shit there’s no Jedi order to dump this kid with and we do not need this kind of attention.”
There, we’ve fixed it in the comments.

Rey Mysterio (booyaka booyaka)
It's crazy to me that I saw this in theaters and after being bombarded with so many stupid things I actually have zero recollection of anything that actually happened
To me the issue with this trilogy is that they had all of these ideas but no idea how to do anything impactful or effective with them. Like they think "maybe we should have a more diverse cast with a female lead" and "maybe a main character is a reformed storm trooper" and "what if Leia and Han's son is turned to the dark side" but they don't think about it further than that. Like Jenny said, it's just a list of things.
Blame the Fandom Menace. Rian Johnson expanded on those ideas. Rey had dark side tendencies and longed for a family, only to find out her parents weren't anyone special. Ren turns more to the dark side and longs to be supreme leader which he ultimately does in TLJ. Finn, while a former storm trooper, still didn't see what the resistance was fighting for until he sees enslaved people often overlooked during the war, and the greedy wealthy who sweep things under the rug. Some really angry fans didn't want to accept these plot developments and Disney caved to shallow nostalgia. If only RJ (who btw was closest in showing us what GL intended for the sequels) had directed the sequels, we would have not gotten a soft reboot of the OT.....if only......
@@sebastianbelcher5354 Yes, it's always the fan's fault.
If it was anyone but JJ, I would say for sure there was a plan and Rian just crapped all over it/made it unusable. But I've seen enough of Lost and Star Trek, that I wouldn't actually bet money on it.
My favourite part of the movie was when Palpatine ruined his own plan by telling Rey the entire thing
The writers now, are like "It's supposed to be cheesy..like the OT." However, the OT is only cheesy because it has old fashioned values of heroism imho.
The real secret plan was the one we were told about...openly.
Subverting expectations good, subverting awful tropes bad!
@@Generationrhino Well, if everyone would fucking decide whether they wanted it like the OT or to be its own thing, the writers could settle on something.
Come to think of it, he kinda did that with Luke.
Rey should have said "just Rey" at the end. It's a callback to the beginning when she doesn't know how to answer to the little girl but this time she says it with confidence, showing her journey.
The film would have to be called the rise of Rey, which is actually better.
Stop expecting good writing. That would have been an awesome idea.
@@vasari9198 It could still be the rise of Skywalker, but Kylo is the Skywalker. (I know his name is Solo, but he's Leia's son too and he's a Jedi)

The knife map is something that would show up in a puzzle in a PS1 or DS game because it would show off/justify the fact that it can use 3D models.
Plus weird puzzles using whatever key items you have are relatively expected in that medium.
Thats an insult to the clever puzzle design of the original playstation games. Example, silent hill. Puzzle items have connections to the lore and inform you about the world while also informing you in a clever way how to solve the puzzle. Rey just straight up happens to be standing in the exact spot she needed to be for the bullshit knife ruler to match and everything works out cause screenwriting is hard.
It did make me think of Professor Layton, or like that part in Ace Attorney where you have to rotate a pot to get it to match up with the silhouette in the drawing

I watched it for the first time yesterday. Two third into the movie and I thought that the hate was exaggerated. Not that made the first part good, it’s bad, but not outrageously bad. And then the 3rd act began. I didn’t know a movie could go exponentially bad scene after scene. I was so angry at the end.
I am maybe 15 minutes into your video, and you’re nailing everything that updated me. Notably the rolling text. Thank you, I feel less alone
One thing I'm shocked no one ever talks about is how stupid it is that kylo gets Luke's lightsaber and rey gets leia's. Rey was following what luke wanted for her, she wanted to be part of Luke's family. Kylo was called back from the dark side by his mother, and he never forgave Luke trying to kill him.
The only reason I see for them getting their repsective lightsaber is because one was a ""boy"" lightsaber and the other was a ""girl"" lightsaber.
(I realize this is 7 months late, but w/e)
Also the amusing notion that Kylo takes up this saber like it's Excalibur, having thrown away his own one. The most notable deeds done pre-ST with that weapon are the crippling of Mace Windu, the summary execution of Count Dooku and the dismemberment of a a room full of children.
THANK YOU
Also i wish they were at least different colors because it was very hard to tell which was which during that scene
@@JohannDakitsch It also didn't help that they were using blue sabers in a very blue place - amusing as Luke's saber was green because Lucas and Marquand realised they were shooting its first appearance against a blue sky and changed the colour for that reason.
Added to that, Kylo's fight with the Knights is pretty incoherent and they're all dudes in black with weapons that don't light up (anyone else find it weird that they didn't get vibro/plasma blades like Snoke's guards?)
I guess, it all comes down to the notion that Leia is a Skywalker. I think what JJ tried to do: Make a story in which Leia Organa accepts herself as a Skywalker. Like, accept Luke as his brother and accepts Vader as someone who was redeemed.
Abrams seemed to be obsessed in closing abandoned storylines from the Original Trilogy, and this probably is one of them. I speculate that there were lots of scenes about Leia coming to terms with her legacy that were left behind. So, Rey does it for her.
TRoS is about Leia (and the Jedi) using Rey as a puppet, so this idea wouldn't be so crazy.
Stranger: “Who are you?”
Rey, surrounded by her resistance friends: “I’m Rey... Rey-sistance”
That's very Poe-etic.

im so late to this conversation but, I'm really interested in the detail that they designed this futuristic bandage to help heal Kylo's lightsaber wound on his face, which seems to have worked very well...but when Hux is wounded from a blaster shot, he is wearing a simple white bandage and and walking on a stick like he just got thrown out of a cartoon dust cloud brawl.
That high tech bandage probably cost as much as a star destroyer.

The "your son will die" vs kylo dying issue feels like the sort of problem that happens when a prophecy is introduced into a story before the writer decides how it's going to be resolved, and then several installments later they clumsily try to twist the events to match and it doesnt quite fit.

So I had Ep 9 spoiled for me ages ago. I read synopsis and commentaries on it, watched videos (including this one!), but only just tonight watched the film first hand. Did all of that predispose me to things? Yes. But I was also catching onto things that people weren't mentioning. The film had a frantic editing style to it, minor details like characters handing objects between each others hands didn't get shown. One minute Rey is holding the knife, then on the camera cut 3P0 is holding it. That sort of minor thing is EVERYWHERE in this film. And then there's the literal copying JJ did of the climaxes of Empire and Return of the Jedi. His idea for 7, 8, and 9 was to repeat 4, 5, and 6 in the big respects. Yikes.
It would have been cool if, at the end, Rey says “Well, I have really enjoyed all the star wars!”

i feel like most of the writers for this trilogy forgot that jedi weren't supposed to have families, and like **most** of them never had children and you don't need to be descended from someone to use the force
which is wild because the entire premise of force awakens is that the Force Awakens in a bunch of people who are completely unrelated to it.

Yeah, I always wonder why people wanted to know who Rey's parents were because they wanted to know why she got her powers. Who are Mace Windu's, Kenobi's or Yoda's parents.
@@bebo2629 Except those characters, you know, TRAINED like Luke to get their powers I imagine. If I'm wrong I stand corrected. Rey was just perfection out of the gate, so the question then is, come on writers throw us a bone here, is there a reason why she's overpowered or is it you're just idiots. Turned out that there was a reason, her Palpatine bloodline (although why did it skip a generation?), AND of course they're also just idiot writers because the whole trilogy is a dumpster fire.
That's why people wanted to know. Then of course TFA kind of thrusts her parents in your face as a mystery box, it does want to suggest here's a question that will get answered along the way, so there's that too, you're primed to wonder who her parents are.

I never understood why Rey being naturally gifted needed some big explanation or was like a plot hole. Like, do the people that think that see a child prodigy with perfect pitch or something and demand to know what famous composer they must be secretly related to?
I totally agree. Like, I'm pretty sure the canon has established that some people are just more naturally gifted than others.
Imagine a movie about Mozart where at 6 years old having 0 knowledge about music starts playing the piano flawlessly and embarasses a piano teacher.
It's just silly, the real problem with Rey is that she's pooling tricks that take years to master with absolutely no training whatsoever.
Regardless if she's a prodigy or not her character suffers from this, and instead of explaining that she was trained but they messed her mind to forget or smth they decided to say that just because she's related to palps she can do all that which is even more stupid.
@@jorgeloredo100 the nature of the force as a power is kind of flux in the movies. And seeing as it’s not really a technical skill I’m not sure why a person can’t just be powerful to start with.

I agree the explanation was bad, that was my point lol but I don’t think it requires some big explanation. She obviously knows how to fight and survive because of a life where she had to take care of and raise herself on Jakku. Fighting is a super technical skill.
@@jorgeloredo100 Well, I personally don't mind it, since this is a fictional movie set in a fictional universe with a fictional magic system. I'm able to believe that some people are just very strong in the force naturally.
And when it comes to the specific instances, I think Rey using the mind trick is okay, since she just learned how to influence minds accidentally by Kylo doing it to her, and I'm also okay with her winning the fight against Kylo, since Kylo was already injured, and Rey had already been shown to be at least somewhat good at fighting.

I'm no expert on the EU, so that ending really felt like it came out of left field. You'd think an old man who can be thrown off a cliff wouldn't have taken ten levels in badass just because he's a clone now.
“I’m Rey”
“Rey who?”
“Ebony Darkness Dementia Raven Rey”
YES

Pretty much, yeah.
The real Star Wars: Episode IX: Rise of Skywalker was the Snokes we cloned along the way.
oh god
am i a snokes
dndboy13 we are all snokes
@@Flatcetera It's Snokes all the way down
Snokes on a plane
The rise of Snokes
I have watched this video about Rise of Skywalker many more times than I've seen Rise of Skywalker. Happy about that.
i come back to this video every year around christmas time. it’s like therapy
ideal: hux doesn't get shot and goes on an adventure with the leads, but ALSO kylo reforms earlier in the film, so they end up on the same side again by accident and the vibes on the ship have never been worse
I like it! I also feel like someone's probably written that fanfic by now.
And then Rey becomes Darth Rey, and joins the First Order, and eventually both sides are functionally the same as they were originally, just with different names.
@@willow5945 Darth Rey is too normal and not-stupid for a sith name, she’d have to change to like Darth Eevil or something
@@alexs0s I mean, Reddit might disagree with you, but...
How I see it, Rey and Darth Rey are two different people. Darth Rey is actually the real actress, Daisy Ridley, who took spice one day and was transposed into the Star Wars galaxy. Daisy then turned to the Dark Side in a bid to find the knowledge to get home. Upon becoming a Sith, she changed her name to Darth Rey. Now, in order for Rey to "become" Darth Rey, she would have to quite literally shapeshift into the role--mind, body and spirit--which I believe is indeed possible if you utilitze the principle of the Rey Eternal and let down your Rey Shields.
That sounds like fun this should be a ship fic
1:02:31 ”The worst thing a franchise ending can do is make you feel kind of stupid and embaressed for being so excited about it in the first place.” is a really powerful line
Legit. Definitely applies to Game of Thrones. I can't even watch earlier seasons because I know what idiocy it all leads to :(
I think we witnessed the end to "The Millennial Falcon"
@@TheAussiePencil so true! I used to love it and now I can barely stand thinking about it. There are some shows that get bad in later seasons and you just tell people to stop after season XYZ. But GoT fucked up so royaly that it taints even the good seasons.
The only thing this movie made me feel was insulted. That they thought any viewer would be stupid enough to enjoy this vapid slop.
I guess they were ultimately right though, there are still legions of weirdos who endlessly hate on TLJ with incoherent reasons (like saying Rian ruined Luke's character as if he wasn't going down the logical continuation of what was set up in TFA) and praise RoS.
As someone who watched both Star Wars and GoT, it was a double gut punch having both series end like that within only a few months. Big enough that I haven't really gone back to watching anything in any of the fantasy subgenres since.
Before i saw it i though "somehow Palpatine returned" was a joke making fun of the movie, not an actual line
Rey was a secret sith princess. I get that her parents wanted to protect her from psycho grandpa but with all those clones, she must have had like 30 uncles they could have shipped her off to, unless unkar plutt was an uncle?
"I'm Rey"
"Rey who?"
Looks off dramatically to the horizon
"Rey Star Wars"
Cousin of Sans Undertale and the Undertale family.
I hope you’re the original person who tweeted this.
Rey Star Wars makes sense. She is pretty much God at this point
Wow its like we both saw the exact same tweet! Lol!!!!! That's so hilarious hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow this is a tweet from twitter dot com how original of you!!
He was a Skywalker. She was a Palpatine. Can I make it any more obvious?
I snorted
He was a Vader boi...she said see you l8ter boi...
She salvaged junk...he murdered kids...they really hit the skids
He wanted her, she could just tell. They're probably cousins as well. He works for Snoke, she rides a cool bike...they both have a helmet that they really liiiiiiiiiiike.......
So he threw her down an exhaust shaft?
They had a fake/manipulated father-son relationship with ulterior motives?
man the ending of this video always gets me. there's nothing more heartbreaking than taking the passion out of a fan
Yeah that line about being made to feel dumb for having been excited is like a punch to the gut. And I just realized that her 'first' Star Wars Land video came out before this movie and there's been no update since. I genuinely wonder if the absolute disappointment of this movie basically took the wind out of her sails.
@@alice88wa There's nothing left to say about Star Wars. The prequels were bad, this stuff is even worse arguably. So it hasn't been good since 1983 for me.
I wonder how many people who love this channel feel that way about the OG fans who object to the lore breaking dumpster fire that is Disney Star Wars as a whole.
"This film is just a weird checklist of things that are meant to satisfy star wars fans..." Is exactly how I felt about the The Force Awakens and why I did not watch the other two. I couldn't see them coming back around from the parade of obvious references thrown in your face in the bluntest way possible. It felt insulting.
I honestly cannot believe the last line wasn't: "Just Rey." But said contentedly with a smile, in contrast to the last time she said it where it was said with insecurity and a bit of sadness, to symbolize that it doesn't matter anymore who her biological family was (and they sucked harder than could be imagined) because she has a new family with her friends in the resistance and family names don't apply so she can be "just Rey" and it's fine. Like when she paused before answering I was actually feeling a little bit of emotion in anticipation of the line that I was sure had to be coming. Instead what had become the familiar feeling of empty confusion returned, only this time there wasn't a new scene to make me forget the dumb thing that had just happened.
also Finn, Poe, and Rose should've been there too, and the old lady would ask all of them for their full names, and Finn would look over at Poe and say "Finn Dameron."
@@ce7.0 Poe: Ugh, dude! We weren't going to tell them yet!
"Just Rey"
"Just Rey?"
"Just Rey"
I am Rey Resistance.
@@ce7.0 but right before Finn says Dameron, Rose body checks him out to f the way.
The whole thing about rey being sold into what is essentially slavery in order to "protect her" is all the more moronic when you realize that both luke and leia went through exactly the same experiences, as they needed to be hidden from vader and the emperor, but instead of being sold to a mercenary, they were given to a there aunt and uncle, and to a king of a planet respectively. Like come on did they just forget the plot of the previous movies.
We are talking about a man who's said he hates thinking about what a scene or line means, so you're asking far too much of him
"did they just forget the plot of the previous movies." I don't think they even watched the previous movies :D
@@Dampfaeus I mean, JJ seemed to do that with Into Darkness so there's precedent. Side note: Star Trek Beyond is a much better sequel to ST '09 and deserves more love.
All the good hiding spots were taken
@@blokey8 Into Darkness and Beyond are almost the exact same movie, JJ is the worst
It was literally the worst possible star wars movie. They calculated it mathematically, which is kind of impressive… least impressive.
Just sad in bed watching your vids again to stave off deeper sads. Thanks for making really great rant/research vids.
Stay strong friend
"Jedi have killed before... it's not always a dark side act." It's worse than that: Jedi have killed PALPATINE before.

Jenny: makes a list of silly predictions about the movie
Abrams: “write that down!”
The Js in JJ Abrams secretly stand for Jenny. She did this. She's been Palpatine-ing us this whole time.
@@Retsonine Now I'm picturing a jar stuffed full of of JJ Abrams' just out of camera view. "I MADE JJ."
All the trailers until she makes her prediction videos are just elaborate deepfakes, and the SECOND she drops the vid, the writing process begins.

Maybe Hasbro follows suit and bases My Little Pony G5 on Friendship is Witchcraft.
14:15 Somebody get Evermore Park on phone about this! These guys have maps!
THE DEAD SPEAK! Yeah, like Obi-Wan? And Yoda? And Qui-Gonn? Cloning - secrets only the Sith knew. Kaminoans are Sith now? None of this movie made sense and it was a panic button after Carrie Fisher died. They bumped off Luke to clearly focus on Leia, but then reality happened. I don't envy their attempt to salvage this, but man it was just a series of terrible choices across the entire trilogy by Disney. They were already in a bad spot and God was like - I need Carrie to come make me laugh, so good luck Disney.
>Cloning - secrets only the Sith knew. Kaminoans are Sith now?
Oh this is explained.. in an animated series that came out after the movie lmao.
"Kill me"
"no"
*Kills him*
*The resistance wins*
what
I think it's because she died at the same time, so his soul was just gone.
@@SailorOrbiter "DAMN IT! The ONE thing I didn't plan for!"
Ah ah ah!
"Hey, JJ, how we end the final fight?"
"Ehm...We can...I don't know...Ehm...Why don't we copy a previous film? It worked so well whit episode seven."
The writers were just incompetent from start to finish, over the whole trilogy, it's astonishing they took so little care of their billion dollar franchise. Anything would do, no quality control, they felt entitled to your money.
She didn't kill him herself, she redirected his force lightning against him, so essentially she forced him to kill himself. I thought it was pretty obvious that's what the writers were going for when I first watched the movie but considering I haven't seen anyone else talk about this interpretation I'm second guessing myself idk
I like to imagine Rise of Skywalker as an RPG where all the decisions and dialogue are a player trying to choose the worst options every time.
So true god it feels that way
@@roachybill It's not even that, the game just has the one ending.
@@owo5869 OwO?
Darths and Droids is only half-way into Force Awakens, but could be.
Feels like improv
In short, it would have been nice if they wrote a full story, and not a disjointed chain of barely coherent scenes.
Shocking how movies turn out badly when you do the filming first and the writing second… or never.
Rey enters Tosche Station
Rey: "I'm here to pick up some power converters"
Station Clerk: "Name on the order?"
Rey: "Skywalker."
Luke Force Ghost: **Thumbs Up**
Ending that finally resolves the power converters and supports small business and keeps the cringe.
If I could give you worthless Reddit points for this comment I would
And then the walking bassline from Seinfeld plays.
Tosche station kept those converters for 50 years. Best customer service ever
Can uncle owen and aunt beru be force ghosts as well
This is canon.
He was a Skywalker and she was a Palpatine. Could I make it any more obvious?
He murdered his dad and she killed his master. What more can i say?

@@celebrimborposting9251 The dead speak! The galaxy has heard a message, a sinister delivery of BLUE MILK in the voice of the late AUNT BERU
@@shakespeare4bears run, don't walk, to Darths & Droids, where (spoiler alert) Owen and Beru are canonically alive and amongst the Rebel commandos assaulting the Peace Moon's shield generator on the Endor moon.
The silliest thing about the knife map is that the secret Palpatine thing they're looking for is in Palpatine's old throne room, within reaching distance of Palpatine's throne. Surely that is the first place anyone would check?
It has taken 3 years of healing before I could manage to click on this video… I’m so proud of myslef, i was able to laugh at all this shit. Finally.
I know it’s dumb, but I can pinpoint the Rise of Skywalker as the terrible beginning of the worst fucking year of my life.
Thinking about this movie used to make me so depressed… now I can finally laugh.

Lines of dialogue Ben Solo says after his redemption
Ben Solo: "Ow"
it is frustrating yes, but maybe that's a good thing, they'd have ruined it with idiotic dialogue like the rest of the movie. They just let Adam do his thing and I think it worked for the best.
He got blasted by Chewies crossbow, something that sends people flying, and grunted.
But that hurt?
@noisyflowers In my theater it was actually when they kissed then he died for no reason
Tomato Melvin There was a reason... Ben didn’t want to commit to a relationship, so he force faded out real quick.

It's not that I think the #1 job of hats is to keep you dry when it's raining. They are rarely large enough to keep even your shoulders dry. And that's ignoring sideways rain or walking in the rain. I'm a realist on these matters. HOWEVER, at the very least, I don't think that hats should gather all the rain that would have otherwise hit your head and then funnel it directly onto your ears, shoulders and arms. That's bad design.
It's just a water feature at that point 😜
“I’m Rey”
“Rey who?”
“Rey-2D2.”
_She was a robot all along..._
"Rey-3PO"
Rey from nowhere
Finally he had something important as an active role in the movie
Cue CSI Miami theme song
Finally got around to watching this video.
Also, was rewatching the Hallmark Crafts video, so now im wondering if Palps actually made Snoke, or if he just did a Lauren and bought a Snoke Jar, and then bought a Snoke to put in the Snoke Jar.
The movie should of ended with her saying, "I am Rey...Rey Palpatine!" Then she force lightnings the random old lady.
“She’s *not* on Jakku...”
-Mom of the year
And how cool would it be if Rey had her own Obi wan? And use a classic jedi from the EU or LEIA!!
Remember, it's not stupid if it worked.... within the script... that was written as retroactive continuity... that was destined to not affect the events of the plot...
"She's on Dantooine" would have been great. Fuck Dantooine.
I mean, this was after he'd picked them up from Jakku. So she was telling him they she wasn't with them. It's not like he just bumped into on the streets of Coruscant and she started blabbing about Jakku, though that would have been hilarious.
@@DavidWMiller I'd watch an eight part Disney+ series about that
I love that Finn doesn't know which ship out of two Chewie is on but his gut feeling tells him exactly which Star Destroyer out of a hundred thousand carries the beacon.
Well it's fortunate that the star destroyers patiently waited out the moment when he diacovers that ability in himself - And that Palpatine's power enabled him to raise like a thousand warships out of the ocean simultaneously without effort but his force range ended at somewhere in the lower atmosphere, from which point on, the star destroyers needed a beacon to know which way was "up". And that Palp's tech was advanced enough to grow force sensitive puppet dark lords, but not so much that he could build in an autopilot function into his star destroyers that would have made them, in the absence of further commands, simply move away from the pull of the gravity well.
I love that Palpatine (does he have a first name or is he from before the invention of first names?) didn't just force-push the fleet all the way into orbit and left it vulnerable instead.
@@ibtrippen It was also very thoughtful of him to halt the ascent low enough so that there still was enough oxygen and atmospheric pressure for ground forces to be able to land and ride horses on the star cruisers. Such a gentleman, he really cares about sportsmanship.
@@ibtrippen Palpatine's first name is Sheev, believe it or not.
@@dw1419 Wow. That's right up there with the fat dude being named "Porkins."
“Weird Fan Film” is kind of how I feel about a lot of the new Star Wars projects. They all feel way too self aware that they are in a Star Wars. Like a slightly larger budget Star Wars Hotel show.
Some of the Disney+ shows are pretty good IMO. My main gripe is with the sequel trilogy.
As a biology student, I love the idea of genetic force inheritance as like a Mendelian punnet square.
