[@JaxBlade]

From what I can see as expected this film has Hyperbolic comments on both sides, Some say its the Worst Thing they've ever seen Some say its a Masterpiece & best of the new trilogy. IMHO I think it was a bit Over Bloated & rushing itself Too Fast w/o proper expansion. A ton of stuff happens that couldve used Far better explanations but it felt like it didnt have time for all the ideas it wanted to cram into it. & to take your mind off it JJ kept usin the ol trick of "Member this Nostalgia" & honestly some plot points never got proper endings. If u liked it good for you & happy you enjoyed it, If you hated it Dont be a dick to someone not being a dick to you & while there is Some stuff I did think was cool, Overall I saw a lot of flaws which I cant say cause SPOILERS so for me honestly I cant say I cared for it tbh

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

It didn't "finally" end with Rise of Skywalker, it ended with Return of the Jedi. There were no hanging plot points at the end of Return of the Jedi. The prequels, for all the flaws, were establishing how we got to the situations of "A New Hope" and did so in a full circle 3 part arc. The Force Awakens (which I enjoyed) essentially pulled the Skywalker legacy out of it's grave (where it was resting in happy peace) and forced it back to life like a Frankenstein monster assembling parts of past Star Wars success onto a young cast. And initially it was like "it's alive, yes". But in the end you see the horror you've created in the world.

[@mew10521]

Interesting analysis

[@yakuza01]

This trilogy should have centered around Finn, or have it at least be one of the main stories. I was actually intrigued about the idea of a former stormtrooper being the main hero of the saga.

How is he giving the fans what they wanted? Having Palpatine alive completely and utterly makes the entire saga pointless. Also he ruins the lore by making up contrived force powers and other stupid crap like light speed skipping. It's GARBAGE. I assure you people who wanted a real Star Wars film didn't want this shit. So critics need to stop proclaiming that RoS is giving the fans what they wanted.

[@Cyromantik]

A living Palpatine was already part of the old Exanded Universe Canon. Ironically that same Canon was declared invalid by Disney post-purchase, but here they are now, dragging it right back up out of the scrapyard.

[@TheRevolucas]

[@thats4thebirds]

There’s exactly 0% chance this trilogy ended as planned and that is really on everyone involved. JJ exiles Luke to an island and has skywalker lightsaber call out to Rey for some reason. Rian said “the past is shit, forget it” since he was just given an outline and given rein to do his thing. So now we have 2 extremes. This whole series was marred by poor planning, a lack of vision, and a straight up FEAR of disappointing people, so they pandered to people who wanted the same, people that wanted something different, and then strikes the unsatisfying middle.

[@chicostephenson]

In the grand pursuit of attempting to please everyone... they pleased no one!

[@alphacause]

There have literally been 2 great Star Wars movies and the rest are average to mediocre at best . Once people accept that maybe the fighting will end. The only thing that could save Star Wars is to move away from the skywalker timeline. Until then it will be the same old same old

[@kloggmonkey]

agreed. i think i stopped consider myself a star wars fan once the number of bad/meh movies exceeded the ones i liked (so shortly after episode 2 i reckon). i'd still say 'hope' and 'empire' are perfectly fine adventure films, but that's pretty much as far as i go.

[@LARKXHIN]

I like many of the movies, but yes, I'm tired of the Skywalkers.

[@kloggmonkey]

[@jamesknight3070]

It should have stopped after '77, which was a new and innovative take on the classic formula of young peasant meets old knight and rescues princess from evil wizard. Thinking of new ideas is beyond modern writers, as demonstrated by all of the remakes that have released in the last decade and those that are coming in the next (Dune, Stargate, and Escape from New York, for example).

[@shinnyshin7792]

There are some decent books and really good games too but...all of them have a coherent creative vision and a willingness to move away from the Skywalker/Empire trap the films are stagnating in. One thing I will say is that these new movies have given me a new appreciation for the prequels. Those movies were awfully written with terrible dialogue and uneven acting...but I now know I'll take a thoroughly planned trainwreck from a single creator over whatever this new trilogy was.

[@alexandergriffith1825]

I wish they went with one of the original concepts of Kylo where he was a collector of Sith artifacts and wanted to learn more about the Dark Side that Luke couldn't teach him. THERE IS YOUR MOVIE!

Rian Johnson should have directed the third film or the first. Subverting the plot the way he did in TLJ was just misplaced since it wrapped up the mysteries of the series, killed off luke and snoke and left off on a note that didn’t leave much for abrams to do. If he had subverted those expectations at the start or in the end it would have actually been pretty awesome.

[@Ren_Davis0531]

With this final film, it’s safe to say that this whole trilogy is pointless. As bad as the prequels are, they at the very least had good ideas and created interesting and lasting elements that are still loved today. The Rise of Skywalker just sounds like lazy pandering that is designed to course correct from The Last Jedi. The Force Awakens was all retread and setup. The Last Jedi ignored that setup and didn’t move the plot at all while pretending to be new. This means that The Rise of Skywalker had to create, build, and conclude a trilogy’s worth of story in one film. That’s a tall order. This is probably why so many people said that this was filled with exposition and felt crammed. The most important thing this new trilogy did was kill off Han, Luke, and Leia, which sucks since those three characters added little to nothing to the story. And I hate that they are marketing this as a conclusion to a nine film saga. It’s not. It’s the conclusion to this current trilogy that they decided to pretend is a nine film story in order to lazily make this trilogy feel more important. Star Wars has so much potential, and this is what they did with it. Such a waste.

[@GrayWoIf]

I've seen the prequels multiple times and I hate the 2nd one but I've seen it more than once this new trilogy after leaving the theater I never saw again and never will what's the point.

Agree with this trilogy being pointless. I disagree with the prequels having good ideas that have stand the test of time.

I don't know, it feels like Star Wars isn't being made for the fans, it feels like it's being put out to make a quick buck.

[@RatzaChewy]

I echo what many others here have said, Finn should have been the protagonist. I liked TFA but my parents, who thought that the third act was too much of a retread, and I both agreed that the idea of a reformed bad guy was a great concept. We had the original trilogy, which was about a young idealist fulfilling his potential despite circumstances and his own father pulling him towards evil. We had the prequels, which was (in concept, at least) about how a similar gifted young man out of slavery could be corrupted. The struggles of a man who was dragged into an evil empire and has to fight his conscience and upbringing is the last logical step.

[@RatzaChewy]

@Azmon Rougier What about it? A female Jedi works too. The issue is that they couldn't decide on WHY she was important. I get the feeling that Rian Johnson turned her backstory on its head because he was basically dealt nothing to work with other than 'mysterious orphan', one of the most played out tropes in fantasy.

[@lawofgravity1979]

I rewatched TLJ last night and I'll keep saying it...it's not an overall bad movie. The Canto Bight stuff, the shoehorned "romance" between Finn and Rose were a waste (among other things), but I was reminded, as Martin mentioned, just how many new ideas it tried to introduce to this universe and I applaud Rian Johnson for that. I've seen the criticism that maybe it chickened out from those ideas by the end of the movie but I think he was trying to leave a good jumping off point going into episode 9. TLJ is far from perfect and I can't defend everything it does...but I don't have to; I was excited by the new direction it proposed. I haven't seen TROS yet but it seems like it's going to completely abandon all that and play it safe. Anyway, just wanted to say that maybe I'm in the minority but TLJ doesn't deserve as much hate as it gets. I'm sure the Internets will tell me I'm wrong tho.

[@MrTreyshawn22]

The one positive I feel we can all agree on for this movie....John Williams music. As for the movie itself, it's not bad but it's not great either. It's just sort of there

[@thehumancomet]

Kory and Martin need to make another video discussing WHY the writer of Justice League and BvS was chosen to write Rise of Skywalker. PLEASE WE NEED THIS

[@thehumancomet]

@surfitlive I consider Chris Terrio to be the ultimate franchise killer. I mean, yes, Argo was good. But after BvS and JL, why in the hell would you think this dude would help save Star Wars? They may as well have had Nicholas Cage play Palpatine.

[@solidsteelcobra]

He has a large collection of incriminating photos of all the power players in the industry. If you have a better explanation, I'd like to hear it.

I see lots of positive reviews in star wars forums.

[@MrCamw1]

I've seen at least two but there opinions I tend to disagree with alot.

[@marselluswallace2175]

I just want to know who gave the green light on bringing back the Senate. Now I love Palpatine as much as the next guy but he died for a reason. His return compromises the integrity of the storyline. He didn't need to be here.

[@Sergeant_Camacho]

The "humor" in this movie is terrible.

[@IceSkateUpHilll]

In this trilogy*

[@kassi420]

Last Jedi was awful because it thought it was smarter than it was but when you sit back and look at it as a whole it was nonsensical garbage... Rise of Skywalker was awful cuz it was because it didn’t know where to fucking go. The entire movie felt like the last season of Lost.

This trilogy was pointless. Nothing new. Destroying the established universe. To what end? No one wants this anymore. Most epic fail of modern cinema. Long live Lucas' Star Wars! Thanks for the video😁

[@joshboy64]

Here's a quote from Rian Johnson recently. "I think approaching any creative process with [the purpose of making fandoms happy] would be a mistake that would lead to probably the exact opposite result. Even my experience as a fan, you know, if I’m coming into something, even if it’s something that I think I want, if I see exactly what I think I want on the screen, it’s like, ‘Oh, okay.’ It might make me smile and make me feel neutral about the thing and I won’t really think about it afterwards, but that’s not really going to satisfy me. What I’m aiming for every time I sit down in a theater is to have the experience [I had] with Empire Strikes Back, something that’s emotionally resonant and feels like it connects up and makes sense and really gets to the heart of what this thing is and in a way that I never could have seen coming. I want to be shocked, I want to be surprised, I want to be thrown off-guard, I want to have things recontextualized, I want to be challenged as a fan when I sit down in the theater." Say what you will about The Last Jedi, but I feel that Corey and Martin are on the same page as this statement. He might not have hit a home run for everyone... but goddamn do I think he understands what a fandom needs.

[@jsh020]

The problem with this logic is, things have done exactly that trying to please fans and actually worked. Hell this year for games we had dmc5 which was just fanservice and its a beloved game. Its more these star wars movies dont know how to please fans

[@ethans2647]

The problem with The Last Jedi is that it didn't make sense and was sloppy. Plus elements that were created in The Force Awakens were just dropped or mishandled. I'm fine with tweaking things and changing up the status quo, but The Last Jedi didn't do that well at all imo

[@erikwilliams1562]

The problem is Johnson ended the story with one movie left! There was nowhere to go after TLJ

[@greenman394]

As a stand-alone film that would have been fine, but as a sequel that needed to set up a third movie as well, it dropped the ball.

[@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures]

@@ethans2647 I kind of wonder if Johnson had a good story planned but was just pressured into following Empire Strikes Back. There are a lot of Empire's story beats at every stage of the film. I can't help thinking that he sort of cracked under the pressure of wanting to tell his own surprising 'let's take this new places' story but kept being asked by Disney that, "Oh, you've got to have a Hoth evacuation. And you've got to have an on-the-run plot. And you've got to have Yoda in it." And so he fell between two stools.

[@lergeworkman5208]

Rogue One still has me optimistic for the future

[@left4newbz]

With Darth Maul, they brought him back, yeah. But they actually did some interesting things with him. An entire season building his character back up in Clone Wars, an entire arc in which he's heavily involved in the Rebels show. They at least made his bringing back worthwhile, despite how questionable it was at the start.

[@jonjay2909]

Korey mouth looks like hes using a snapchat filter

[@kellz9972]

Anyone notice they even messed up the opening crawl? They changed the movie title from "rise of Skywalker" to "the rise of skywalker"

[@juliusc.8]

Rian Johnson wrote Abrams into a corner. His order 66 was fan service and nostalgia.

[@TooCooFoYou]

Not really. There was a lot to explore after Last Jedi.

[@pistolasdepolo]

Like what exactly?

[@tannerhuskins330]

I always revisit this every once in a while and 5 years later and the franchise still can’t get off the ground. Every step forward (Andor, Mando season 1-2) is met with several back and sideways (Acolyte, Obiwan, Boba Fett)

[@TheGlobalForce]

PREACH

[@setokaiba200x]

star war fans.... never happy...

[@DarkEdge1231]

Man thr sequel trilogy is basically the inverse of the prequel trilogy. Whereas the prequel trilogy starts off bad and ends up good (or kinda good) the sequel trilogy starts off good (or at least promising) and ends up bad. Still need to see the movie for myself to judge but it seems universally disliked as much if not more than Episode 1 and 2.

[@zeethree]

Rogue One was very close to greatness. Mandalorian is getting good reactions. Don't say a good Star Wars can't be done just because a few bad directors failed at it. Give Star Wars to Christopher Nolan and we'd be talking about Academy Awards nominations for Star Wars.
