31:47 - The older pilot you briefly see who says "Nice flying Lando" is Wedge Antilles, Luke's wingman from the Original Trilogy. The actor who plays him (Dennis Lawson) is also the maternal uncle of Ewan MacGregor (aka Obi Wan Kenobi 1999 - present.)
How did I never peep this? Oh wait it’s because I watched the movie one time and started drinking halfway thru 🥴
@@chancebrown106 good for you
Didnt Wedge died on the first death star battle?
@@jok86er It was Luke's friend Biggs. Wedge's ship was damaged and had to leave the battle. Wedge appears in Empire (Battle of Hoth) and in Return (he flies into the 2nd death star with Lando. he shoots the main reactor. He also shows up to the Ewoks party and eats storm troopers with them). He was the most important side character of the original triology.
@@jok86er He saved Luke and then his engine got hit so he bailed. You see him later in the celebrations. In Empire Strikes Back he destroys an AT-AT, in the Return of the Jedi he hits the Death Star power core, contributing to its destruction. He is the MVP pilot.
"Finn, pick a girlfriend."
Nailed it.
lmao i was dying when she said that lol
He was the victim of atrocious writing
@@joeberger3441 John Boyega was so disappointed with Finn’s story that he takes any and every opportunity to 💩 on the writers and the whole trilogy. He mocks the script a lot, he mocks the characters, he was (and still is) a massive Star Wars fan, and he wanted to make the Disney Trilogy the best it could be, so for him to walk away so disappointed that he almost wants nothing to do with it, says how much he disliked it.
“Pick a girlfriend” - picks Bro Poe 😂
Players gonna play.
He should've got with Poe. His chemistry with him in that TIE Fighter escape scene in The Force Awakens was the highlight of the whole trilogy.
"Somehow Palpatine has returned." Pretty much sums up how much effort they put into this trilogy.
They should've just had JJ do the entire thing. Palpatine probably had early signs of his return in JJ's episode 8 but it seems like they did away with any idea he had for that so they had to shoehorn his return. Not how you handle a trilogy at all. I'm not saying it would've been a better story but at least the entire thing would've flowed better~
Ridiculous, that's exactly what a person who didn't know how something unexpected happened would say. If you knew your friend was in a flight that crashed but then found the was alive, you would naturally say somehow he survived, until you found out why.
Who cares i enjoyed it
@@briansview2886 The thing is they never explained it in the movie
@@briansview2886 It's actually a sign of bad and lazy writing. Maybe it's something Poe would have said, sure that's fine but they had to explain Palpatine returning at some point in the movie and "somehow" is a terrible way to do it
"I just feel like I've come so far. I know they're called Tie fighters now."
And We are all very proud of you, You're One of Us now ❤️
25:17 "but theres other little kids with brooms that can be jedi" LMAO. This is why i watch your channel. Too cute
"I don't want the exact same thing as the OGs, I just want it to have that same feeling,"
Glad to hear someone with no attachment to the series prior saying it...
The saga ends with the Palpatines achieving ultimate victory over the Skywalkers, burying the lightsabers in the sand that Anakin hates, and stealing their name 😅
32:47 Cassie, you're correct; all the voices were of the Jedi. Most of whom are from the movies, some are from the animated shows like The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels. There are even voices of characters I wasn’t familiar with. was hoping to see them come back as force ghosts; but we only got to hear them, not see them.
I like that we hear and don’t see them. It gave fan service to those of us who are long time/knowledgeable fans, and is a cool little Easter egg for newer fans of the fandom. Also gives us fun trivia to talk about ☺️
Ezra was not a voice in there. All the Jedi she heard were Jedi who had become one with the force. This is Disney telling us that Ezra is not dead up to this point. Lucasfilm takes particular care to make sure as many elements are not overlooked as possible so since we do not hear him it is a 100% guarantee that he is alive.
Since we hear Ahsoka it unfortunately means at that time she is one with the force as well. Same with Mace.
@@thegame346 Prepare for the edit…
@@thegame346 According to Dave Filoni, Ahsoka is still alive. She is not a Jedi. But she has a connection to Anakin. Mortis connects them.
Master Lumanara and Aayla were two of the voices as well.
18:07 Rey's father is actually a non-identical clone of Darth Sidious. Despite that, he wasn't strong with the Force like his "father," the Emperor. Sidious was disgusted that anything so ordinary could be made from his blood; he even referred to his "son" as a useless creature that he rejected.
He only allowed his "son" to live out of hope that it would sire a child that was born Force-sensitive via the Palpatine bloodline.
30:17 The Knights of Ren are Force-sensitive and they basically worship the dark side of the Force. They would be able to sense that Ben Solo had turned back to the light side and was no longer Kylo Ren. When that happened, the Knights ceased to be his followers.
Whoa, I didn't know about that (although it was a likely theory I figured about myself) (sigh) This is what happens when I miss a novel or two.
@@Xardion55 I would recommend the source book "Star Wars: The Secrets of the Sith". It's written from Darth Sidious's point of view and in it he says exactly what he thinks about his so-called "son", among many other things.
@@noname01xr - 🤩 I will definitely hunt this down. Thank you! 👍
@@Xardion55 The novelization confirmed it, and the new novel 'Shadow of the Sith' will expand on it more, in a month or two.
Kind of spoils the idea of a natural born son of Palpatine, and all the story possibilities there - but what the hey.
Watching this in theaters was so emotional! not really because of the movie, but because of Carrie Fisher's passing. On the other hand, I was really curious how they would put it off since she died before shooting the movie. But with archive footage, the help of her daughter and some great work overall they brought her back to us one last time
I wish I could like your comment 100 times.
She literally shot her scenes before she died 😅
The final scene, when we see Luke and Leia's Force ghosts, always brings tears to my eyes. Losing Carrie Fisher means that scene hits a lot harder than it would otherwise.
@@jasonregister3494no she didn’t. Those scenes were repurposed scenes from Force Awakens. She died before Last Jedi was even released.
I first saw Star Wars as a kid in the theater in 77. I saw cool lights and flashes, good vs bad, cool space stuff. I was hooked. The franchise has stuck with me through good and bad times. I love seeing people introduced to it and enjoy it. Perhaps that is why I like watching reactors.
Same, same, same. I also got to see this as a kid back when it came out in the theaters the first time and many times over the years. Through the good and the bad, I also love seeing new folks of all ages getting into this densely packed universe.
"Somehow, Palpatine returned." That was an actual line that was written and spoken and recorded and left in the final cut.
Yeah. And it sums up how much care was put into this by the Wicked Witch, Kathleen Kennedy, and her troop of flying monkeys.
"Also, we have 16 hours before 1 million star destroyers descend upon us."
One of the worst parts of the sequels is how they crapped on Finn’s character. He was the most interesting new character in the force awakens and then his entire character turns into “rey! REY! REEYYYYYYY!!!!”
Extremely well said! Thank you!
rose. rose. Too 🙄
You're absolutely right. He becomes Jon Snow saying, "She's muh queen." and, "I don want it."
No, this is completely inaccurate. How can you say that??? He clearly yells POE!!! a few times in this movie also. ;)
Made worse by them dropping a tease at his character having SOMETHING interesting happen when they’re dropping in the quicksand beans, just to have it go nowhere on screen for the rest of the movie
Kylo Ren was the best part of these new ones for me. Adam Driver nailed that role.
Could never take him seriously. Did nothing for me as a villain or character.
@@vincegarcia6416 same
Even as someone who likes the sequels, this is 100% true.
🤣
While I like the concept (especially his lightsaber), he was far too weak (physically and mentally) to scare Luke into hiding or rule the galaxy.
I enjoyed your reaction. I believe Kylo had to use the force to trade his life for hers, ending life by making the greatest sacrifice, but imbuing her with with his spirit and making Rey the last Skywalker.
I look forward to watching the Mandalorian with you.
But… but… Kylo was a Solo…
@@bellethilrancthalion1109 and Skywalker too because of Leia
@@bellethilrancthalion1109 He is still the Skywalker of this trilogy, confirmed by multiple people at lucasfilm. Leia is just as much Anakin's child as Luke is and it's misogynistic to think otherwise.
She was but Disney did a really poor job showing why she wasn't a "Jedi" persay, in the old canon Leia manifested her connection in a completely different way, she was no traditional Jedi, rather she was a gifted communicator and leader who could use the force to discern the right paths to take. She was never comfortable using a lightsaber or drawing on the force to enhance her combat abilities as Jedi do although she did train with Luke a little while she quickly left it behind and focused on being a politician and mother, raising three little ones who carried the power of the Skywalker bloodline. She was a Skywalker and potentially could have been as great as Luke at being a Jedi but she never wanted or honed those abilities. @@sparkleclover
Tesseract? Pod racing? Tienfighters? We're immensely proud of you Cassie! Cant wait for you to start watching The Mandalorian. You will love it I promiss
the way i was sitting here wondering "wtf is a tien fighter oh my god am i a fake fan"
@@catcher0 haha lol. sorry, my allopecia screws with my typing.
@@martinpalleiro8135 lol no worries
"Under display towels?"
A yes Tien Fighters, they can split themselves into four and have three viewing ports.
The Mandalorian should be on your list. It is incredible.
It's the only thing I enjoy that isn't a cartoon. Mando did good.
no, is not.
@@orvoloco8261 how is it not good ?
@@jamesisaacson6379 Started okay and fell to pieces in S2. It's still way better than Boba Fett or the 3 new movies, but I don't think that makes it objectively "good". When you're dying of thirst, you'll take anything you can get.
@@saviourself687 you don’t sound capable of enjoying anything
I will only hear "under the display towels" from now on. Thank you, Cassie. Great reaction!
LOL, right??
Even knowing the dagger said "Only this blade tells" I can only hear Cassie's interpretation now.
“Horrible things have happened with this”
**All while holding the Youngling Slayer 9000**
Lmao
This entire movie is such a wet fart and a meme fest.
When I saw Episode IX on the big screen on the first day I held back tears because of Leia's passing. R2-D2 saw her birth and her passing. About a week or two later I took my girlfriend on a date to see it in 4X 3D screening. As soon as Leia passed she wouldn't stop crying even after we left the theater when the movie ended. RIP Carrie Fisher.
Really enjoyed your journey. I saw Star Wars on the big screen in 1977 and been a fan since and the original 3 are still the best. Glad you enjoyed them. Now jump on the Mandolorian.
This is honestly why I really like you and subscribed to you, Cassie. Unlike virtually everyone in the world who have expectations and truly analyze movies, you don't have expectations and try to enjoy virtually every movie you watch and react from the heart. I'm not as judgemental as most of the people that react and analyze movies but I do know what I think is good and what is not as good. You think, in a way, everything is good. We badly need more people like you.
God, I forgot how this entire movie feels like a 6-year-old making it up on the spot.
Your Palpatine impression attempts are hilarious 😂😂😂. More enjoyable than anything the film gave us.
Yep, the film was bad on so many levels.
The “evil song” is called The Imperial March, and you’re right, it’s amazing 🙂
Yes but she’s referring to Kylo Ren’s theme in that scene.
it was stolen. From the death march
Cassie: Were those chanting hooded siths just like spirits of siths?
Ryan George: Unclear!
"I kinda just decided!"
14:38 Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie and R2 are your friends 3P0. And they actually had a close bond unlike Rey, Finn and Poe who barely interact yet Disney expects us to see them as true friends.
"They let me enjoy that love story for litterally 4 seconds???"
Welcome to my world. I have been waiting to see Ben Solo (not Kylo Ren) for three movies now. I see a shoulder shrug like his dad, I see a kiss and a small and boom, my favorite character is dead.
Me, I really wish I could have seen the twins, Jacen and Jaina Solo, their younger brother Anakin Solo, and Luke and Mara Jade's son, Ben Skywalker.
I agree, nothing in Disney SW even came close to the tragedy of that storyline. I grew up on star wars and those books broke my heart as a young teenager. The death of the greatest Jedi of their generation, Anakin Solo, breaking them apart and leading Jacen to embrace the dark side and betray everyone, it was a tragedy that they abandoned it all to make their own story which fell short in every single way. @@carybrown851
@@carybrown851Those were some great books weren’t they?
These movies are a mixed bag, but the one constant for me is that Kylo/Ben is the BEST character. I love every minute he's onscreen. Absolutely the highlight of this trilogy for me.
I was really trying not to like how much of a badass he was killing the Knights of Wren.
This was a FUN reaction video. Cassie's the coolest! 👍
My favorite parts were Cassie's reaction to Han's appearance (at 23:11 ) and Cassie's impressions of Palpatine (at 28:12 ) 😁😁
Thank you for the Palp timestamp. 🙂
The Mandalorian is absolutely amazing. I can't wait for you to see it!
If you pause here at 34:53 you can see exactly the moment her heart breaks into a million pieces.
Told myself I'd never watch this movie again (not a fan of disaster movies), I made this exception because I love popcorn in bed reactions. Keep going strong!!!
It's not a disaster movie...some of those are good and entertaining. This is a movie disaster.
It's a disaster of a movie but I found a couple things I actually liked about it after watching her watch it. I like that Leia was training Rey and she was having difficulties. That should have been Rey in The last Jedi. I like how they just flat out ignored that Anakin and Luke's lightsaber got destroyed in The last Jedi and was given to Rey. I like how Ray knew about the wavefinders and the healing power because she read the books that Luke collected. In retroactively gave Luke and his life more significant than the prior two movies.
Never seen it and I like Cassie but I'm not watching this just here for the comments.
@@michbenny1363 They didn't ignore that the lightsaber was destroyed. Rey repaired it.
Old star wars fans are very butt hurt by the new movies. They would much rather the star wars names just be buried and gone as Lucas wasn't doing shit with it.
That was probably the happiest I've seen you in any of your reactions when Kylo and Rey kiss, such a big smile. Was gutted for you knowing what came next.
Adam Driver as Kylo is a real powerhouse actor and very versatile. Would be great to see you react to some more of his movies.
That scene shook me. Pretty sure Palpatine used the Dark Side to conceive Anakin. If so, Palpatine is Leia's grandfather AND Rey's grandfather. Kylo and Rey are related. Eeeewww... lol
@@mckrackin5324 Well, let's do recall Luke and Leia (brother/sister) swapping spit in ESB. Obviously, the galaxy far, far away is a bit skeevy.
@@mckrackin5324 They are not related. Palpatine did not create Anakin.
Fun fact: The alien at 4:30 who gave them the message to give to Leia was voiced by Mark Hamill, the actor who plays Luke Skywalker.
The only reason why Harrison Ford came back was because Carrie Fisher (Leia) passed away in real life and they needed someone to give that speech to Kylo so he agreed to come back for just the one scene. But the original idea behind the idea of this trilogy was to say goodbye to Han in 7, Luke in 8, and Leia in 9
Please watch the STAR TREK movies! 🖖
I love Star Trek and Cassie's channel, but Star Trek movies are filled with old people and no romance. I don't think she's going to like them. If you're talking about the j.j. Abrams movies, she will probably like them more, but they are not very memorable. She would be better off watching the best episodes of The Next Generation. That seems to capture the imagination of everyone.
The original four, not the JJ Abrams hack jobs.
I really enjoy your reactions! You're the most sincere, and have genuinely enjoyable comments and insight while you watch the story unfold. To me, it is like watching a movie with a good friend, even though i have seen them a hundred times, it feels exciting and hearfelt to share it with you. That sounds really strange to say about someone you have never really met or even communicated with! You and your sister are a delight! P.S. When you said " It would be trouble if i had that power" You know power can corrupt, smart you would of have made a good jedi!
Meant to comment that your reaction to Han and Ben brought a tear to my eye and smile to my face. Absolutely priceless.
"Fin, pick a girlfriend." was amazing because it cut through the levels of the different writers not knowing what to do with him and Rey. I think Ep 7 was building them up to be together, but then Ep 8 was written and directed by someone else who wanted to shake up the predictable plots. Then Ep 9 was back to Abrams, but at that point, all he could do was damage control. Messy.
You might not read this comment, but there is this fan made tribute to Ben Solo titled "The Last Skywalker" by Hero Fan Productions. It details Ben's journey by using clips from the entire Skywalker saga. It's really well made and does a good job connecting all nine films as well as some of the tv shows.
The reason why Ben died is clear if you listen to Ray when she heals the worm monster in the cave, she isn't exactly healing, its life sharing. She was dead, so to make her live he had to die.
Imagine trying to justify the terrible writing decisions in this movie.
True...and they both lost much Power to palpetine already. They were exhausted and cause their a siblings in the force...He could bring her back to life with sacrfising his own.
I don't dislike the why, I think it's consistent with Padme's life being used to preserve Anakin and the Daughter's sacrifice in Clone Wars. I just wish they hadn't done it. No good reason either of them needed to die there. Pulled a ME3 ending in Star Wars.
@@Dr_Kubrick I'm not justifying it, I trully dislike those last two movies but it does not mean I can't be rational when there is self consistancy. You being an ass about it to everybody doesn't fix anything now does it? It just makes an ass out of you.
In Star Wars lore, force healing can be used on oneself. So, yeah, this was more of a sharing of life force.
Your reactions are so funny they always lift me up and make me smile
Good old Mango Calrissian 😂
"That trick...would be dangerous for me..." - Best line in any of your film watching thingies.
Kylo is the best thing from the new trilogy. Adam Driver is a wonderful actor and carries these three movies.
Emo Ren was the least menacing villain in Star Wars history. Seriously, seeing him remove his mask for the 1st time and seeing that goofy looking face was like seeing Screech from Saved by the Bell under that mask.
Agreed, he was great.
@@notatthistime3867 who cares? He was still the best part of the ST minus just being able to see the OT group again even if they were done dirty. You can still like things in something you dislike.
No. He's a mess of a character, a tantrum throwing manchild the trilogy first tries to paint as a "menacing villain" then tries to portray him as a victim to please shallow fangirls who only like him because they fancy Adam Driver. Kylo going insane and hallucinating Han who he killed talking to him is not redemption despite being portrayed as that and him forgiving himself doesn't count.
Your reactions are priceless, Miss Cassie. The best of the community, IMHO 😊
Thanks for taking the journey. It was enjoyable to watch with you. I think I want a t-shirt with the phrase, "May the force be with you" and right above that is an image of the Vulcan salute.
Having watched since the first Back to the Future, it's so endearing to hear you now making tesseract jokes and knowing SW peeps by voice. It's been such a fun journey.
Either she's gonna cringe, get mad, confused or disgusted when she finds out that Palatine "somehow" returned
Palatine is in taxi driver not star wars
@@roywilson4514 bruhhh, I meant Palpatine 😭😭
@@roywilson4514 it's actually Palantine
@Brad1980 is not stated in the movie is it?
@@SharbtursGameCorner Nope.
I am so glad that you finally watched this Star Wars. I kept coming to your channel to see when you will finally show watching it.
I think most issues people had were how things "somehow" happened and were far too convenient, like a 30ish year old dagger having a perfect map of the 30 year old destroyed Death Star wreckage.
Visuals were beautiful.
It's not an ancient dagger. In no place does the movie say or even imply the dagger is ancient. It is carved with an ancient language, but the dagger was modern. It was very obviously made after the Battle of Endor.
"Somehow Palpatine returned" - and my burning behind flies right into stratosphere...
Plus the whole "We brought Palpatine back with no explanation after Rian Johnson killing Snoke made us panic. We couldn't think of an explanation for why he's back. He just is. And to show we have no idea what we're doing we'll have characters theorise about it in universe."
@@Xehanort10 they talk about the cloning and we see the tubes. Maybe it could have been more direct, but it’s right there. I think it makes sense in universe. Palps is like THE dastardly villain. He was just gonna commission clones and never mess around with that super successful tech himself to ensure he stays in power? I think it connects it back well, just not executed the best
@@hendrikscheepers4144 standing in the right spot looking at the unstable wreckage that has been being battered by these huge waves for 30 years. Who knows how much that could've changed in that time.
The Mandalorian is super fun. They take place in 5 years after Return of The Jedi (ep6) and 25 years before The Force Awakens (ep7) - Though Mando season 3 is supposed jump forward in time a bit.
It's cool to see your cinematic journey with Star Wars reach the end point (for now until they start making new ones lol), though the Star Wars journey is fortunately far from over! As you mentioned, they started going into the TV/streaming world recently and personally, I think you will love love LOVE the Mandalorian. Don't want to give too much away but knowing you specifically and your personality, you're going to really enjoy that show. My only piece of advice is that during the first couple episodes, it might come off as like, "Oh this is okay." But by the third episode, I guarantee that you will be hooked, so just maybe keep that in mind when starting the show, not that the first two episodes are bad, they're very enjoyable, but they're kinda set up for the show's premise, but once that premise is established, I know you will be all in lol. Looking forward to it!
Mandalorian is great show! The Book of Boba, can be skipped over.
@@theawesomeman9821 that’s just your opinion, I think she should watch it regardless. The die hard Star Wars fans would say it’s bad
If only 'The Book of Boba Fett' wasn't embarrasingly cringeworthy trash.
I REALLY hope they have different writers for Obi Wan. I'm worried.
Cassie, your imitation of the Emperor is something I didn't know I needed until I heard it. 😄 I cannot wait for you to do The Mandalorian!! Sooooooo good, with some awesome surprises!!
Really, not too bad of an impression. Out of context, I probably would have still gotten it.
"That trick would be dangerous for me" - I laughed so hard tears ran down my face, all of us married guys thought that trick would be dangerous for your husband. Great job as always Miss Cassie, you're the best thing on RUclips Reactions ever.
Cassie doing the Vulcan "live long and prosper" hand gesture and saying "Come on, Luke, the Force is with you... I don't think that's Star Wars..." - could be the greatest callback maybe ever. LOLOL
Love your Star Wars (and even larger movie) journey, Cassie. Simply the best.
I do that with my nieces to bug 'em lol
The two worst big budget entertainment products of the last decade were GoT season 8 and Disney SW trilogy.
With GoT it went wrong because the showrunners wanted to quit, so they massively rushed the ending. Still very strange that HBO didn't just replace them.
But Disney takes the cake with how unbelievable it is how they approached the SW sequel trilogy. They had spent billions of dollars on the rights to the franchise and then they allowed a trilogy to be created, at the cost of another billion dollars, without any complete story for the whole trilogy written in advance.
They just let two different directors do whatever they wanted with each individual film.
It really is mind boggling. You had one director set up the story and characters, then you had a second director throw out most of it and do something else, then you had the original director come back and then in turn throw out the second directors ideas and awkwardly try to fish some of his original setup out of the garbage can and patch together and awkward finale.
Agreed! Dreadful malpractice
The OT didnt have a full story laid out. Do you think Lucas thought of Luke and Leia being brother/sister before or after they kissed? The real problem with the ST is the fans. They wanted the feel of the OT - JJ gave you that with TFA, then they complained it was too much like the OTs. So, Rian delivered an amazing story that took Star Wars to new heights, but again the fans complained about how it treated Luke or for some dumb reason all 3 stars werent in the falcon together. So, Disney panicked and went back to JJ and tried to shoehorn something together in the middle resulting in an uneven story. Disney failed by not sticking to their guns and letting Rian finish the story to payoff what he set up. Its still entertaining as long as you check your expectations at the door and accept the story given
@@wings31 to be fair, Rian wasn’t going to make another film it was going to be Colin Trevarrow. But you have to admit, sticking to their guns would have been letting JJ mastermind the whole trilogy, not letting Rian come in and dump out all the setup and doing his own subversion story. The problem more than anything was hiring directors with conflicting ideas of what they wanted a new trilogy to be and you can see that play out in the films. I agree though that trying to steer your story based on the demands of angry fans on the internet doesn’t work.
@@Motorheadache95 JJ *DID* mastermind the whole trilogy. He approved everything Rian did before it was done, then crumbled to fanbro complaining and rewrote Ep 9 to try to please everybody- instead failing to please anybody because it retconned TLJ and made made no sense.
It's all JJ's failure for not sticking with the plan or keeping Ep 9 a coherent story.
Your transition from confusion at 34:51 to angry disbelief at 31:54 had me rolling. Thank you for the belly laugh.
Cassie, it was so great watching you go through these! And I loved your LOTR reactions too. Your reactions are so sweet and wholesome, and I found myself getting emotional alongside you when it happened. Excited for you to see The Mandalorian! It's up there with the original trilogy to me, in terms of star wars greatness.
Get ready to see a movie filled with plot hole after plot hole and one McGuffin after another. 🤦♂️ If you really want to enjoy this movie you have to be able to shut your brain off and have no critical thinking skills whatsoever. Lol 😂
Precisely!!
That's JJ Abrams and his Mystery Box style of "writing" for you.
Yall are clowns.
Loved Kylo / Ben's character arc in this, he was the best. Good reaction 🙂
23:50-23:53 gets me every time.
I dont get its what do people like about his arc? I feel like he has the same issue Ray and Finn have of great starting points great casting and great acting but horrible writing. I dont understand why he decides to turn to the light. Maybe if they showed him having everything he thought he wanted after taking over the first order and it leaving him feeling empty and alone. Instead its just like he is either looking for the emperor because he wants a new master or because its a threat to his position. He finds out the emperor has been pulling the strings and is attracted to this girl he barely knows so he turns good.
What am I missing that makes this a good and believable redemption arc?
There was an arc?
There was so much good in the sequels, but they also had some of the worst parts, execution, and pacing from any Star Wars properties.
Rey can heal and is overpowered because she draws power from the dark side, as well as from the light.
There's a RUclipsr who made a video just before episode 8 came out that theorized that Rey was a Palpatine and he based it on her fighting style with a Lightsaber from episode VII and also from her theme being eerily similar in structure to Darth Sidious'
After episode VIII came out, it seemed like he was wrong. But eventually he was proven correct by this movie.
Remember though, there were other Force users who had a similar approach. Mace Windu was a light side user who often drew from the dark side as part of his fighting, as can be compared to Rey's "grayness" in the force.
@@sarg778returnscodm7 I could be wrong but I thought Mace didnt really draw on the dark side but rather redirected his opponents dark side energy back at them.
I really wish they would have made Rey a grey Jedi. When I saw the trailer for 8 I got so excited. I thought Luke was going to show her that the Jedi are wrong to focus solely on the light and the correct path was finding balance in oneself. Since the original Jedi balanced light and dark and he went looking for the first Jedi temple I assumed this is the answer he was going to find.
I think if they would have done that then the sequels would have been great, without taking away from the other 6 movies. Breaking the cycle we saw in the first 6 movies. Instead Luke is a coward who tries to kill his nephew and Rey changes her name to Skywalker lol
Rey can do everything from the start without effort or character buildup because this was one of many "woke" movies to come. Movies were suppost to show "strong" women, competing with men. Another worse example is Terminator dark fate or the remake of Charlies Angels.
@@stefankrautz9048 the only problem with your statement is that you're projecting your own misogynistic insecurities on the movie. They never made a point of even insinuating that Rey being female had anything to do with the reason why she was good. If you want to critique Rey being a Mary Sue without merit, that's fine. But if your point is that "woman MC means woke agenda" then you are just showing what a snowflake you are.
And pretty much the same can be said about Luke on the original trilogy. Nobody has a problem with that, myself included. But unlike Luke, who was a pampered farm boy, Rey was on her own already living a tough life. It makes sense that she was physically and mentally tougher than Luke at the same point of their respective lives.
BTW, I'm no fan of the sequel trilogy, it has good moments, but the bad pacing, disjointed story and wasted potential of good support characters outweighs whatever they got right with the movies.
The director (Abrams) confirmed a fan theory that Finn was actually trying to tell Rey that he was Force sensitive the whole movie. For some reason, they never included a scene of him clarifying or using the Force, but its where all of his feelings and hunches have come from in the trilogy, especially this last movie.
Thing is, it's not even that big of a reveal to hide for 3 fucking movies.
Which does nothing except expose how badly written these films were
That's kinda make sense why Finn is not confined to a wheelchair
He did use the force several times
28:13 - Thank you so much for this, Cassie! For now and all time this will truly be the definitive Palpatine impression. And no one can ever take that from you! 😂
"Finn. Pick. A. Girlfriend" I'm dying 😂
Still so much great Star Wars to go!!! Mandolorian will blow your mind! Although, make sure you research Asoka a little before you watch! She was Anakin's only padiwan. Asoka was one of those voices Rey hears. :)
I went into The Mandalorian with never seeing the animated series. Whatever backstory Asoka has, the mandalorian explains enough that you aren’t in the dark. Im sure the backstory makes it better, but going in blind is just fine, too.
@@johnnybraccia452 fair point
34:34 *In healing her, he gave the last and full portion of his life-force. It is notable that he himself is now in a state of balance.* Love your reaction! :)!!
Still didn’t like it. She healed others from fatal wounds with no repercussions but the one good character from this trilogy died from healing her once? I smell a but of Mary Sue. But we’re not here to sh*t on the sequels, it was a good reaction indeed.
@@Elijah_Elias sorry to necro this (lol), but maybe it's because palpatine drained most of Ben's life force already that Ben barely had anything left to give Rey.
@@ebreshea That's what I assume, how much energy he had drained from them and how much energy he gave to her versus her being fully rested and healthy when she healed the other people. Not to mention of course, him being thrown off a cliff and all that. So we don't know how life force he had left in him, and of course it being his first time using it. He likely didn't have much control. It doesn't make it good, but it makes it more plausible.
Your ranking is about the same as mine! And your Palpatine impression is awesome 😂
"Under the display towels."
No.
"ONLY THIS BLADE TELLS."
The blaster that Kylo has when he is running through Exegol before hew gets the lightsaber is actually Hans blaster :)
Red wine was being drank towards the end of this reaction😂🙌🏼
"He's [C3PO] been with us through it all." Lucas's original plan from the very beginning was that the entire story would be told through the two droids.
And this, from Vanity Fair: "Carrie Fisher passed away a few months after completing work on "Episode VIII The Last Jedi," but, due to the time it takes for post-production, nearly a year before VIII was released in theaters. Her final appearance in a Star Wars film came with The Rise of Skywalker, a movie that didn't even have a script when she passed away." They did an amazing job of special effects to create her scenes for Episode IX.
No VFX other than regular editing were permitted by Carrie Fisher's estate. So nothing like in Rogue One. Thats perhaps why the character's performance was so disjointed and out of place. The director and editors did what they could but it ended up looking very shoehorned in.
@@zybch Ok, so no "CGI" of her face, but I wouldn't call what they did "regular editing." Again, from Vanity Fair: "While Fisher's expressions were never digitally changed, everything except her face was rendered by visual effects artists. Roger Guyett, visual effects supervisor: When you watch the movie you just want to believe that Carrie's there, and it's just completely natural within the scene."
It was really fun to watch ur Star Wars reactions, cant wait for u to react to Mandalorian Its such a great and beautiful show.
"Display towels" will now be my substitute term for "MacGuffin" in everything I watch. Thank you!
My Grandpa was the first one to show me Star Wars, and this final chapter came out the year after he died. I was crying in the theater. It really helped me close the end of the Skywalker story while having a last moment with him.
You should look up the list of all the "ghost Jedi" who spoke to Rey. Every actor amd voice actor who played a Jedi from earlier times spoke to her, among them: Luke, Leia, Qui Gon, Ahsoka, Mace, Obi-Wan, etc. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
Yes, lots of nobodies were pulled in for fan service in hopes we'd overlook the awful script and bad direction
@@docsavage8640 I was only pointing out something specific, not focusing on the script in general. Apparently you possess a great deal of hate for this film, but the vocalists are not "nobodies". But then again, opinions vary...
"I'm not sure how Chewie survived that."
Um, he was on another shuttle. That was why they said, "There was a second shuttle."
He literally said in the movie, there was another transport in the desert and it brought back a valuable prisoner.
I love watching this again through your eyes. Your reactions bring much joy.
I still don't like the Sequel Trilogy, but once again, you said something in your review that made them better in a way.
This is my favorite of the sequels because it’s just pure schlock 😂
Hope you heard Anakin as one of the Jedi voices making Rey rise at the end.
When Lando asks that girl who used to be the stormtrooper "What about you kid?" regarding where she's from and she replies that she doesn't know. And Lando replies "Well let's find out". I think it's a prelude to the upcoming "Lando" TV series.
Fun little facts: The bounty hunter whose face we never see other then her eyes, Zorii Bliss, is played by Keri Russell. The director, J.J. Abrams, likes to cast friends and people he's worked with before in his projects. Abrams worked with Russell early in both their careers on the TV Show "Felicity", which he created/produced and in which she starred (he also cast her in a small role in "Mission: Impossible III"). Other examples of this are Dominic Monaghan as one of the rebels (better known as Merry from Lord of the Rings) with whom Abrams worked on his TV show "Lost", and Greg Grunberg (the overweight, bearded rebel pilot) with whom he's been friends since college and whom Abrams casts in almost everything he does.
If you love Finn then you must watch "Attack The Block", pretty certain it was his first movie, regardless very entertaining. He did a great job.
34:50 I love how your smile freezes when Kylo dies! It's beautiful funny!
I had a laughflash! 😂 😂 😂
"Just Kiss Already!" ... During Rey and Kylo's lightsaber duel..... hahahaha, I died...... perfect.
"Are they kind of making fun of themselves that the stormtroopers can fly now, like Leia?" Not until you said it--now they are definitely making fun of themselves lol
Considering when you’re dead, and you’re a force ghost, you are one with the force. So of course you can use the force. You are the force.
Agreed, when Obi Wan said he couldn't interfere I figured The Whills/Force Priestesses prevented force ghosts from direct interaction with the galaxy's affairs.
@@BSM-vw6cf Or its more of a moral code, that their mortal time was up so they should only watch and occasionally guide when needed - but never interfere.
I’m interested to see Cassie’s take on this one. In her way, she already kinda panned TLJ. I think she’s going to have a lot to say.
Well, turns out she liked it, which is kinda sad.
@@lukeskywalker6809 I despise Episode 8. And I still recognize that Episode 9 is probably worse.
Never underestimate the power of a Harrison Ford cameo or “true love’s kiss” however fleeting. I’d probably swap her order of TRS and TLJ, but when you near the bottom of the barrel, it can be a toss up depending on whether you’re a cynic or romantic.
@@mitloppas3559 I hate 8 too, but mostly because it derailed the trilogy... I would rather seen 7/8/9 all made by Rian Johnson, heck, make broomboy save the galaxy in the end, just have single coherent story rather than the weird patchwork we got... even Lucas original ideas has to been better than this
Yeah, turns out that she's not an angry hater of fun films.
Wow nice one again.. It was nice watching through all the Star Wars from your perspective (along with other great ones like band of brothers and lotr)
When Ben says dad. It kills me every time
Thanks for the honest and fair reviews, Cassie! There are die-hard fans all over these divisive movies, so it can be treacherous wading into the prequels and sequels without angering somebody. I'm an OT guy myself, but these movies are all worth watching at least once for the experience and to understand the culture. Glad you went on this adventure with us!
Ignoring fanboys and "woulda coulda" opinions, I think the main gripe people have boils down to consistency in tone and storytelling. The tone of movies shift wildly from movie to movie and there are apparent dips in quality in the scriptwriting and storytelling.
A great example of quality and consistency is LOTR and the Mandalorian. Granted, hindsight being what it is, Lucas didn't have the luxury to film all his movies in a row or concurrently, so unfortunate changes in quality between movies was inevitable based on director availability and just how things were done back in the day and with large gaps between films. But it seems progress is being made with finding quality directors again (Favraeu).
@@CarbonPixel78 Yeah, for a company with their legacy and history of success, the two biggest errors they made that can't ever be forgiven are (1) not having any kind of plan for the trilogy in the first place and (2) trying to course correct -- twice -- as a consequence of (1). It's like those drivers you see in Honda Civics who miss their exit, so they try to go off-roading rather than being patient and taking the next exit. But in Disney's case, they made it worse by driving 70 yards before second-guessing their choice and trying to get back on the highway after the point of no return. It's like, "After the first rumble in the dirt, *_why_* did you think the second one was going to be a good idea?"
When all the TROS dumpster fire rumors poured out before the release of the movie, I just had to laugh. At some point, it's just too comical to not enjoy the blaze.
@@extantsanity True. If they are smart, they'll stick to existing / established Star Wars lore (books, graphic novels, comics) that are fan-favorites for new series and movie material and ensure nothing they make is woke (assuming they like making money).
There’s a reason Adam Driver is the only star from this series to go onto a lot more work. He has such good acting chops. I’m not counting Oscar Isaac as he was already a star before Star Wars.
He was also not unknown when he started Star Wars. He was a main character in the HBO series Girls.
Daisy Ridley is working a lot too. Murder on the Orient Express, among others.
@@3DJapan I never heard of that series, good to know.
Yes I've absolutely loved Adam Driver since Girls!
You're such a geek!
Made me laugh so much with your imitations and fan crushes and jokes. You were in a very good mood!
BABU FRIK!!! Thanks for sharing your reactions with us, Cassie!
Cassie, the so called healing power was actual giving their life force to heal. Ben was injured so when he brought back Rey he effectively gave her the last of his life force. That's why he died, but he died as a Jedi and faded away.
He didn't fade away. He became a force ghost of his own will.
I know people didn't like it, but I think a major thing is that Ben had to give his life to save Rey. That was the secret that Palpatine and the Sith never learned - that the power to save another required complete sacrifice of oneself. Sith could never understand that.
It meant he was in balance and at peace. And so was able to pass into the Force.
I hate this movie so much for destroy anakin /darth vader redemption just because they had no clue what to do after the last jedi 😫
Exactly
And they didn't even explain it.
"Somehow, Palpatine returned."
@@Eidlones the best line in the movie 😂
@@trentonmiller4366 "But that's a story for another time" - Maz Kanata
