Incoherence posted:The implication of that scene for me was that, like the scenes in TFA where Rey learns most of what she knows about the Jedi by reading Kylo's mind, she's learning that from him and then just saying it out loud. The implication for me was that she learned who her parents were when she was in the Dark Side butt looking in the mirror and saw two indistinct nobodies come together to form her reflection.

I assume part of the main cast saying they don't want to do any more Star Wars has to do with the reportedly terrible filming conditions for RoS with reshoot after reshoot and no idea what the movie was actually going to turn out like.

He cums lightning, obviously.

It was kind of a powerful moment -- it almost seemed to say that it didn't matter who her parents were, she was the one responsible for who she was. TROS: "LOL nah"

I don’t remember who said it, but I distinctly remember it being said. So, Sheev is Rey’s paternal grandfather. Her dad’s Y chromosome comes from Palpatine’s nut.

I did the math and assuming the actor is about the same age as his character, Palpatine probably hosed after he became gross and shriveled.

No no guys, you don't understand how awesome this will be, let me explain again - You see, turns out Palpatine WASN'T killed, and also he's like 10 times more evil now and also a robot. Also the sith have a whole Evil Planet where they do Evil, and Robo Palpatine builds a whole FLEET of star destroyers, only now they're planet destroyers, and

Did anybody else wonder about the logistics of building and staffing a large fleet of ships around a planet that literally nobody can get to without a transceiver that's been missing for like 50 years? And also lol @ the idea that they only built two - guess the Sith planet must have had a lot of gardeners because they sure weren't trading for food.

"We'll call them...... planet destroyers" "Sir a star is bigger than a planet" "What?" "They were called star destroyers. Stars are huge and really hard to blow up. Blowing up a planet is honestly a step down." ...... "What??"

Things that were useless and dumb about the movie: - the first 7 minutes of every lightsaber battle - the whole "C3PO knows the way" subplot that was literally just abandoned after 30 minutes of dedicated screen-time (also lol @ inscribing on a magic dagger instead of just making a log entry or something) - whatever the gently caress Finn was doing on the outside of the star destroyer that ultimately got blown up without his help

Now that I think about it, Finn's 2 out of 3 for "crucial to a subplot that doesn't matter at all" in his movie appearances.

C-Euro posted:Honestly I had the exact same thought. Should have just been a Force ghost! Or a dude in a jar, I don't know. Yeah when I first read the leak that Palpatine was back I thought it was cool because I assumed it was going to be his spirit and it would be like an evil inverse of Obi-Wan guiding Luke after death. Like Palps saw some potential in Snoke and inducted him into the Sith from beyond the grave, then shifted to Kylo or even Rey once Snoke was dead. Oh well.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say The Rise Of Skywalker isn't a movie, it's a Disney product carefully assembled in such a way as to minimize potential fan backlash. Any creative decision was filtered through "what will a hypothetical Star Wars fanatic think about this" as determined by Disney corporate suits and it's pointless to even attribute anything to JJ because who knows what decisions were his and which ones he fought against and bitterly resents their inclusion. Also I think Ochi was sent to retrieve the wayfinder from the death star ruins so that nobody else could find it and use it to get to Exogol, and the directions to where it was were written on the dagger in Sith script as a cipher. I also think R2D2 restoring C3PO's memory because he's his best friend was good.

Like I said I skimmed the wiki article Did they ever explain how Luke's lightsaber ended up with the myopic alien lady

the lesson of rise of skywalker is that we make our own destiny and are who we choose to be, as long as we are choosing one of two noble bloodlines that are imbued with godlike powers.

It fell down a big hole, some scavenger found it and recognized what it was and sold it to Kanata because she trades in weird old relics. Whatever.

Flavius Aetass posted:lol what do you think Even better, Luke's lightsaber is literally torn in two at the end of TLJ as a big giant unsubtle way of saying STOP OBSESSING OVER LUKE'S lovely LEGACY AND FORGE YOUR OWN, leading you to think Rey will begin Ep 9 with her own new saber like Luke does in Return of the Jedi. And instead she just duct tapes Luke's saber back together again and uses it for 99% of the film, continuing to ape off his legacy.

zoux posted:It fell down a big hole into a gas giant. There's a Star Wars kids book where someone finds Darth Vader's glove even though Luke burned his suit to ashes on Endor. It is treated as the same kind of mystical Mcguffin that Luke's saber is in the ST and I think it gets the same level of explanation for why its there in the plot too. The Sequel Trilogy are just the Jedi Prince kids books made canon.

The biggest Star Wars nerd (self-proclaimed) that I know hated TLJ and said that TROS "redeemed the sequel trilogy" for him. Sadly I hadn't seen it yet when he said because I would have loved to take a deeper dive into that.
