Rise of Skywalker LEIA Explained! VFX Analysis & Final Scene Breakdown!

[@jorgegramajo8232]

I was very Sad about Carrie Fishers Passing and seeing her in this movie was Great but when Chewie Gave that cry, it gave me chills n Sadness. Good Movie

[@lyokodreamer]

i cried when chewy cried

[@btvs1997]

Thank you so much for all the support. May the force be with you all

[@xeno2299]

Yes, I lost it too when that happened, poor Chewie.

[@jeannebrady2600]

Of course, Peter Mayhew has also passed on and another actor played Chewie in this film.

I agree... Chewie crying was the part that got me.

Rotoscoping Carrie was effective for me. I knew it was not really her but it was her at the same time. It didn't spoil the immersion for me. Cool use for an old school film technique.

[@MrZekesyoutubechannel]

People shocked that Leia was a Jedi forget Yodas famous line “there is another”

[@MrZekesyoutubechannel]

Captain America you know. Yoda from Episode 1,2,3, 5 and 6 and 8?

[@sword2185]

Captain America is probably implying that The Child (baby from Yoda’s species), could be the other one that Yoda is talking about? But it isn’t true, there is a canon book which Yoda explains that the other is Leia. I can’t remember the source.

[@EpoxyMuffin]

Or Luke saying something like "you have this power too, and I will help you learn to use it" that's basically the story beat the original trilogy leaves us on.

[@MizanQistina]

Baby Yoda is 50 years old...

[@MrZekesyoutubechannel]

Nizaris1 the phrase that there was another was said after Luke was clearly their only hope. It would only make sense after that in the same movie it is revealed that they were siblings.

This actually makes sense now. Leia is the reason why rey and ben survived when palpetine took their lifeforce. I asked myself why are they alive if he took their force, maybe he didn’t consider leias force was still connected to ben and also rey.

[@BakethaSnake]

Leia isnt connected to either of them

[@lrc4263]

WT Keeton he mourned Han in “The Force Awakens.” When Ben killed Han he SCREAMED out and shot at Ben out of reflex. And later he is seen in the Flacon by himself just in shock. It was Luke we didn’t get to see mourn Han.

[@wtk6069]

@RDW Studios Very true, and I think his having Chewie practically break down over Leia's death was a direct result of that happening.

[@wtk6069]

@Rorschach's Journal It was one of seven or eight little scenes that were great in a movie that was often disappointing.

In the sequel trilogy, the three OG characters died in accordance with the age. Han was the oldest, Luke was taken out of Padmé's womb first and Leia after him. After watching Han and Luke die, I figured Leia would die.

The Rise of Skywalker was the best the part of the training was done by Luke and completed by his Sister

[@darkhoursofday6250]

Makes you wonder why they bother having training academies for Jedi since you can obviously learn everything you need to know to be the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy in a weekend course. I bet University of Phoenix is all about that mail order Jedi degree. Those dumb kids in the prequels deserved to be slaughtered and decapitated by Anakin. They were spending their entire lives learning something that a quick run through the forest would have taught them.

[@linhiril664]

Y’all have to remember that those of us who were there from the beginning, who thought before we saw it that Star Wars was somehow about Vietnam Nam or divorce as all the other movies were in that time, are going to see this movie differently than the kids who came to it already as a collection. We are not going to care about plot holes or clumsy transitions or how Disney changed things from the books. We are going to understand that it was our final farewell to Luke, Leia, and Han, friends we loved, and to dear Carrie. Or at least that is how I felt. I wept most of the way through. :)

[@GoGreen1977]

I was there at the beginning, too. I've had a heavy heart since seeing TROS, twice now. It's bittersweet to say "good bye" to beloved characters and to all the others that are integral parts of the entire saga. I cannot believe it's been over 42 years, and yet, I'm still here to see it end! And I wasn't a proponent of "Reylo" until half way through this film, but the performances of Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley made me a believer just in time to break my heart. However, I've felt that Kylo/Ben would have to die since TLJ because of all of the confusion and contention and resentment if he lived, even if he did redeem himself.

[@questerperipatetic4861]

Thanks for saying that for me to know I'm not alone.
