Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker SPOILER Review

[@rsmllc2]

That would have taken the emphasis off of Rey as the all bestest female hero, since most of the force ghosts behind her would have been males, especially the more popular male leads from the prior trilogies. But yes, it would have been like Aragorn leading the army of ghosts shot from LOTR, an awesome visual moment.

It's funny you mentioned him being a Jedi. Promotional material for TFA showed him with a lightsaber and Rey with her staff. I would say they did that to throw people off but then the way Disney handled the trilogy I don't think they're that clever. Lol As with a lot of movies they change things but because promotional material is done months in advance such as posters and trailers they don't account for the reshoots.

Somehow my biggest gripe with this movie is the misuse of Palpatine. THE PALPATINE, the emperor, the guy that manipulated both sides of a war and brought down a government from within... is now somehow reduced to the crazy lightning man. That wasn't Palpatine on screen, that was a poser. Edit: So... now that I've had half a day to think about this movie... honestly I'm not really mad about it anymore. (Surprising to nobody I'm sure) This palpatine is a lot like the palpatine from the original trilogy: powerful and arrogant. I guess my biggest problem with him being in the movie is that somehow he's just... back without any true explanation.

Theodore Wolf I wish they would’ve cleared that up because they waffled so much with Finn. Thinking of him in the first movie and all his potential to him being a lost puppy who seems to be in love with the other two leads but no one else they set up for him is a poor choice. Why was his kiss with rose so awkward? Having him reject the other women in the film makes it seem like he does like Rey.

JakeTheGearHeart I mean, it’s a story made up by people who obviously don’t coordinate. It makes sense to me that the Sith, who promise access to immortality, could heal people. That’s the whole reason Anakin turned to the dark side, to heal Padme. If the Jedi could do it, why would he need to turn to the Sith to gain that knowledge? And it also is thematically more interesting if the Jedi have the power to become force ghosts, immortality in death, and the Sith have the power to heal, immortality in life.
