@I'll figure it out Rey is Palpatine's granddaughter. She ends up killing him. Kylo gives Rey his life and dies in the process.

[@davemustaine9687]

I just realized something. When Palpatine was talking about how Plagueis was able to bring back the ones he loved, but not himself, Palpatine perfected the power to save himself instead because now he's on Episode 9. He didn't revive Padme because he was going to save himself.

[@naughtycontent2154]

"he shows his true self" Rise of skywalker: Nah, we just got shocked bad.

[@martinsaenz3042]

he does see the future because he had Darth vader´s suit too soon . Meaning that he foreshadowed/predicted darth veders/anakin defeat

[@rithrius5384]

I've seen Rise Of Skywalker just now. I won't say anything except this one cryptic thing: Palpatine embraces the meme.

[@phantomfire7205]

Is it bad

[@JerseyRealm1]

Thank god

[@rithrius5384]

I give it a 7/10 on account of JJ Abrams doing the best he could with the trainwreck that is The Last Jedi. As for Palpatine, he repeats two of his most famous lines from Episode 3.

Anakin turning to the dark side is more compelling when the reason he does it is to save his family. Imo. It makes Vader a more dynamic character and is in line with his confliction when fighting his son Luke in the originally trilogy

[@moserfugger6363]

I love your videos. :-) And now I'm starting to understand, why you were largely satisfied with "Rise of Skywalker". Your knowledge about Star Wars is so huge, you could easily fill the many gaps this movie wasn't able to fill by itself. ;-) Especially the part about the Emperor returning becomes way more plausible and interesting, when you know all of this back story you presented in the video. Thanks a lot & Greetings from Germany! :-)

Too late, still gonna watch it though

[@aarobloxmovies1727]

I still believe that palpatine’s face just was melted by windy, I really don’t believe it was his true form.

[@doctornico1759]

Actually it was. Nobody else had their face melted by the lightnings in Star Wars, also as the video said, why would the lightnings make his teeth and his nails rot ? Because it was his true appearance, he was disfigured by the dark side. Just like Snoke. He just used a Sith ritual to look regular to other people, and Jedi.

Nope rey is the granddaughter of palpatine, ben turrns to the light side and both rey and ben kinda battles the emperor with ben holding his mothers blue lightsaber, but then ben dies, rey burries their lightsabers and randomly gets a yellow one (and she fucking lies that she is a skywalker)
