Knowing that the sequels could have been so much more is such a pain deep in the heart. And that video prove that Star Wars can be so much more than what Disney have giving us…

[@dartagnanjames8069]

That's my biggest gripe. They could have been amazing and they were just okay at best.

[@dartagnanjames8069]

@rileygarraway I'd prefer for them to be better than "Okay" when they have so much potential

[@requiemheidireprisal7824]

@SeechanYT I have recently been watching the Once Upon a Time TV show. And I'm reminded that George Lucas was influenced by Joseph Campbell. I actually wish, that George Lucas could do a commentary track about that TV series. Disney owns the show and Star Wars. It would help them a lot actually. The villains in that show, are just as interesting and cool as the hero's. The way everyone is intertwined is really cool. The ability of the writers to see so far ahead and plan out a story is really incredible. The Sequels are the complete opposite.

[@dartagnanjames8069]

@rileygarraway I don't think it's a success at all. I don't share any part of your opinion

[@dartagnanjames8069]

@rileygarraway Yeah, I want good movies, not just okay at best.

[@LukiKruki]

The ending of Luke Skywalker with Jedi Order for quite life with Mars Jade references the ending of George Lucas with Star Wars for his wife and daughter. Beautiful.

[@rgarbacz]

Didn't realize this, indeed a new deeper meaning.

[@tonyradford5577]

“Rey grabs KK, and throws her against the wall, igniting her lightsaber and holding it to her throat. “That’s LUKE SKYWALKER, you ungrateful mouse turd, show him the RESPECT he’s earned.”

[@rgarbacz]

Now when I think about it, seems like this scene is there on purpose - a clear reference to D. corp.

[@joeyboy1996]

Wow!! The Anakin with padme scene would of had everyone in tears 😢😊

[@jacobbarnhart8770]

I had me in tears when I watched it. Everything about the final part of this had me really thinking about what those scenes could have done to an audience. People really would have been dumbfounded at this conclusion.

[@Galaxies3000]

It's funny how _easy_ it is to satisfy fans. Yet disney fails to do so.

[@Raii_Chu]

Almost every major media corporation fails at it

[@bgbuilds2712]

I have taken the stance that it was intentional malice. No one messes up this bad accidentally. A few bad items is a coincidence. This many is intent. They wanted to break us. They used our favorite franchises as trojan horses to advance their social engineering goals.

[@cynicalmemester1694]

​@@bgbuilds2712LMFAO

[@vitormenezesdemattos967]

@@bgbuilds2712 now with acolyte making also anakin worthless and breaking cannon by showing KI adi mundi of all, the one who said sith hadn't been seen in a millenia... knowing about the sith 100 years before, is on purpose at this point. It already was clearly on purpose, now even more clear

[@cachos-story-lab]

I don't think of it as a failure. That would imply they even attempted it, no there are people working there with nothing but contempt for the audience and the saga, they outright refused to do so. It was all about the board and the message, while at the same time doing the same to the heroes that happened to statues and historical monuments. This was completely intentional.

[@Marcell2aG]

I was hoping they’d show Finn as a Jedi, and boom, they did it. Very cool. One thing I’d change is I’d make Finn the main character again like he should’ve always been.

[@MichaelDavis-eg1pp]

I think the reason he used the emperor was to use the elements of the sequels and morph them into something of quality.

[@Nightshroud2400]

Revan appeared so making Vitiate the final enemy would be amazing.

[@Needler13]

Nah, it would ruin the story in swtor. His finally death with everyone hanging up on him was too epic for him to come back.

[@Nightshroud2400]

@@Needler13 I mean ToR is already not canon and it kinda ruined the story of KOTORs itself, so...

[@jeffreyroedel9804]

It baffles me that Anakin wasn't featured in the Rise of SKYWALKER. That's such a storytelling lay up, I don't get it. Have Anakin appear in spirit form and do some cool things with Luke to fulfill his destiny etc. Good grief, we only hear him briefly among tons of other old Jedi voices, as if they are all of the same importance to this story? Bizarre.

[@Red_Ring_Of_Death]

I lost my shit when Mara showed up.

[@redwar77]

This was Great! But damn, "whos the other guy" 😂😂😂

[@moodmaker2796]

I recommend listening to all of these... the 1st is good. The 2nd and 3rd actually brought me to tears :D

[@brakaduun]

3rd - by half I promised myself I would not weep. By the end I was crying like a girl. (40+ man here) Such a good ending of an era!!

[@DOWN2MARZZ]

Oh yeah. This is canon in my eyes.

[@rgarbacz]

Yes, it is.

[@mannyhoe90]

Keanu as Revan?!... Hell yeah dude

[@RM-wo3rd]

Love this and that they included Keanu. I’ve always loved the rumors of him being a part of the franchise but hope to God only if it ends up in the right hands

[@wewin_inonog]

Please make this into a proper film! Animated style would suffice!

[@rgarbacz]

With AI we can make it a reality soon and forget about some other abomination.

[@alexrascon1351]

Tears 😭 for the beauty and what could have been - but at least I can hold this close to my fan girl heart and know that this is closer to the true story…

[@Christrulesall2]

In an alternate universe(s) somewhere in the cosmos, this movie actually is awesome. Sadly, we weren't one of them.

[@Meh69875]

And in the same universe we have Kathleen Kennedy explaining her version on KZbin

[@DanielJohn19]

This is cannon for me now

[@marcusdixon8274]

Would be cool if you reimagined this with animation and your voiceovers. Or if you did your own version of it would be sweet too

[@buckersjunior2355]

This revampt is atleast better than what we got in Disney's trilogy. The focus on Palpitine was a down grade but this was telling Palpitine's return more epic and more manageable. This is the same for Luke for his character and return in the Starwars universe.

[@Red_Ring_Of_Death]

Ahhhh! I’m so excited! I was waiting for this upload.

[@KronnangDunn]

KKs original intention with the sequels was to make a bad woke reboot of the OT. Sadly, she succeeded.

[@darthbane3937]

He did Palps because the original did and he was trying to frame it differently. I've seen people do the same for Game of Thrones Season 8. They keep the basic framework, but change things around so they can say your writing sucks but your concepts can work. Have you seen his Kenobi chapters yet?

[@flyingpj]

Thumbnail is awesome!

[@deadmetal8692]

Sorry to cut you off mid way, but i gotta go watch this again...

[@FoxVidz2000]

If TROS was awesome, it wouldn't have existed in the first place.

[@jacobbarnhart8770]

I know the Soul Transfer thing seems odd. However, it brings in some of the powers from the Star Wars TTRPG. Which is what this three series of short films did well. It took all of the threads and storylines and merged them together for a big pay off. Which worked.

[@Mindstormer]

The more I think about the sequel trilogy the more I realize that they could have done just about anything to make it better. And that just disappoints me

[@Nain617]

i love it.. this is instantly a lot better than what we got didnt care for the ending with luke ..i agree i try not to think of the movies ..its sad .i only hope it gets repaired . this was still very very good

[@ill76er11]

25 minutes that just nuked from orbit disneys sequel trilogy trash heap… this is canon as far as im concerned… This is how you do it… this is our franchise.. WE ARE ALL BIG BOSS…

[@sergio-7952]

Keanu in Star Wars is all what we need

[@darthuchiha9870]

Crazy how an automated voice with Ai photos can be better than an entire trilogy with a massive budget

[@dominicseibert3048]

The greatest case of cinematic malpractice in the history of the medium once again laid bare for all to see. Not 100% how I would've done it, either, but I sure as hell would've taken this over what we got.

[@Raii_Chu]

I like everything except Revan being in that era. Breaks Old Republic lore. As cool as Revan is, I would prefer it to be a new dark/light wise character guiding Ray

[@nabi5864]

There are other remakes out there... I think You can mix match pick choose what works makes sense and developed the plot and characters well and build on that

[@marciofelipejustino2563]

ESSE WHAT IF É MELHOR DO QUE O FILME.

[@BryanMark-mw8sz]

For real! I wish we would have gotten this as the sequels.

[@Supamike88]

I get the feedback where you're looking for the bigger bad guy. The age old question. New stronger bad guy or old bad guy with some new transformation or power up. They might as well let Luke go ssj 😅

[@DanielJohn19]

Disney can do what they are going to do now, the fans is what I’m going to pay attention to now.

[@champloo9058]

The first 2 episodes were absolutely great. This 3rd one went a little bit off the rails. Luke should have died, might have been more impactful.

[@Olamchesed]

I enjoyed the cameos, it was pretty cool

[@stewjonjedi]

This entire fan trilogy is so much better than what we got and I ~love~ that the author used legacy characters and all of the Disney characters (sans Rose Tico). It could have been so much better. So much better....

[@MrModerate_kane]

It’s still better than what we got!!! How crazy is that?

[@jvask33zie]

Palpatine being the main villain for 9 episodes is too much, I agree with bringing in a new villain. That's not a complaint by any means, I really enjoyed the other two What If episodes as well. I've only seen Force Awakens and the Last Jedi so in my mind, this is what happened in the ROS. I knew I held out for a reason.

[@280814joeben]

Hearing this and knowing what we got is kinda depressing

[@redwar77]

Damn these hit hard.... I like the Force Awakens, and I'm a bigger fan of Last Jedi than most. But I'm an OG Star Wars fan thru and thru. The Lucas era all the way. And seeing and hearing better story pitches just show how much Disney dropped the ball. I will always say Disney has done a great job of bridging Anakin and Vader. And there's a lot of Disney content I'm a fan of. But the Sequels are the worse mistep. After Rise of Skywalker i have a hard time enjoying the sequels at all. There was a better story there, I wish it was a reality. The Force is Forever

[@gemgreg]

some of those AI generated images are so good

[@DarkeniusStorm]

This is kinda better than what Disney made but a little bit chaotic for my taste. Where Disney failed imo: 1. They buried and killed Luke Skywalker 2. They didn't include Mara Jade in the trilogy 3. They overpowered Rey 4. They killed Han Solo too soon 5. They killed Snoke too soon 6. They didn't make Finn proper Jedi 7. They didn't include other villains from books 8. They nerfed Knights of Ren 9. They focused more on unimportant scenes 10. They didn't show Rey's full backstory

[@timlee4059]

Disney was trying to make Star Wars fit into a box when it is a circle.

[@emuman09]

The only change i would do is not have Anakin's ghost be hayden. It should be old Anakin

[@klausam-ende9812]

Disney would not only save money but probably make a lot more too if they replaced Kathleen Kennedy and Bob Iger with an AI lol

[@SHARKVADERS]

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS

[@taylorsampson5434]

This would have to be made into 2 parts.

[@Cal_Ru]

The forge being there is not possible since revan would've destroyed it already, and revan being there made no sense although I would love to see him in cinematic, it should have been anakin speaking to her then going to save Ben afterwards. This was choppy story wise but still more enjoyable than ros

[@Kilan80]

What's with the weird cut at 04:38 ?

[@johnnievseverybody]

This is fire

[@Red_Ring_Of_Death]

The person more powerful than Palpatine that returned was Revan Theory.

[@killerbrogaming2845]

Ive never rewatched any of the sequals, im not letting my gf see them for the 1st time. And yetvid rewatch this again 🤣

[@crev1018]

He should do one for Acolyte lol

[@michaelcampbell5175]

Makes me sad as well! What could’ve been and what we got is demoralizing

[@maccajunior]

I dont know about Revan, but watching these has been so fun. Also buttersweet cos i remember that Disney butchered the franchise

[@ctsperformance1755]

Why isnt there any talents at Disney... its so painful to see what couldve been...

Yep this would have been much better

[@julianparker45]

Basically kylo is like sasuke in this haha

[@kheechung]

I wish Fynn had been the focus. Didn't like Rey and Po (to be fair, i never liked Po.) What was the point of Luke c*ckblocking Fynn in Part 2?

[@py2k7]

Who was the other guy?!? LOLOL

[@chegosvoice]

The Ai went a little bit... Southamerican hahahahaha

[@benlowe578]

These films could've been awesome if they had been made prioritising real Star Wars fans and prioritising story telling.

[@chadgabor5506]

Star Wars, the rise of Skywalker was not good . The End !!!

[@Danny_Delano]

Bringing back palpatine and anakin…is weird. I liked the first two episodes, this last one to me wasn’t very good. I think Star Wars needs to get passed the Anakin worship. He wasn’t that great of a guy even when he was on the light side. Disney missed the opportunity for a more acceptable retcon- making Luke the chosen one after all.

[@ChipityChop]

somehow was a comedy

[@RobertPRobinsonJr]

It is a damn shame that it takes a fanfiction author to write a story that truly has us watching it in a way that Disney could never do because they write s*** and it takes an artist to write a script worthy of the moniker of Star Wars
