This guy managed to create a compelling, emotional, and complex narrative that perfectly ties together all three trilogies, while keeping all the major characters and concepts from the terrible sequels disney gave us. Not only that, he manages to seamlessly weave in elements of legends such as Revan, the Star Forge and Mara Jade. Absolutely flawless storytelling from a true Star Wars fan. Thank you for all your hard work, I truly loved this series.

[@CappyK]

The heart break is that I can already see the Disney Executive tearing this apart. It doesn't sell enough lego sets. We need to devote whole segments of space battles to weird ships so that you can sell a model for 300USD. Where are the cute alien things that can sell plushies? Rey didn't follow the Disney Princess method that is tried and true and makes investors feel more confident. Needed way more helmets to sell. Didn't introduce enough random new characters to fuel spin offs and novels and comics. You can already see how the market research, the stock holders, the demographic targeting starts to devour the qualitative experience of a good story and sterilises it into a quantitative "by the numbers" experience. Art and Capitalism are natural enemies that need each other to survive, and when one gets big enough to completely over the power they both die.

This rewritten trilogy has been the single best piece of star wars content I have seen since the George Lucas era. I can't believe how well written this is, full of action, tension, love, loss, redemption and purpose. The characters here are so much more real and honest to themselves, they also push forward with the true meaning of the force and how it connects to the emotions of all the characters and through them, us as the viewers.

[@marsoh7972]

George Lucas Star Wars doesn't need redemption... what It's a better version of the sequels but let's not deify it either. Some poor story elements can't be helped, like bringing back Palpatine, as this story uses the sequels as base. Still, it didn't need to rely SO much on force ghosts in an attempt to artificially raise the stakes. Why is Revan even there? He never showed up before but now he wants to inform Rey about a prophecy that didn't even pan out? Bad writing. And then all the other force ghosts. I guess if you're going to bring back Palpatine, you have to bring Anakin back as well, to avoid breaking the chosen one prophecy. Better than "I'm all the Sith. And I'm all the Jedi", but still pretty lame. I too enjoyed this "what if" saga, but let's not pretend that it doesn't have flaws, or that it is what the sequels should have been. This story only further reduces the galaxy to the Palpatine/Skywalker bloodlines. The best way to honor the legacy story/characters is to leave their achievements alone, let them fade gracefully into the background and make a new story with new villains that moves on from the same old Jedi/Sith conflict.

[@growuprecords9132]

Imagine Mark Hamill as Luke looks to you through the screen telling his final line in the last frame of this beautiful, poetic script. It really is the perfect ending of the Skywalker saga and a powerful reassurance of what 'the force' means to so many Star Wars fans.

[@jrt99b]

The use of Keanu Reeves for Revan is a masterstroke. At first I thought it was just using him as fancasting, reminded me of a rumor or two of him being approached for the role. But then to use him to have "The Architect" scene in a way that is satisfying to the lore is a move of such beauty and depth that boggles the mind. And it's not even the best scene in this thing. I loved this from start to finish. The ending gave me chills. I am on board with whatever story you tell next in whichever world you pick. But even if this is the only story you feel you have in you, thank you for sharing it.

Thank you for giving us this three part series. May the Force be with you, always.

As yet another disillusioned Star Wars fan these videos have been wonderful. Thank you… 🍻

[@prismstories]

Thanks mate!

[@darthracer777]

​@@prismstories It seems people want you to do more. Would you consider a story set 1,000 years after the Sequel Trilogy? Or, the Old Republic?

[@prismstories]

@@darthracer777 lol maybe

[@NDCCMTX]

Wow... I have a hard time conjuring words because I'm _overwhelmed_ with emotion. 😢 Former thoughts of betrayal from Disney are replaced with this beautifully-woven story that has more love sewn into it than anything the fan base has received today. What I cannot produce in words, my heart is manifesting in sheer joy. This is--hands down--one of the best Star Wars fan productions I've ever witnessed. Everything from the AI-generated images, to the music selected, to the brilliant writing sets this _miles_ apart from anything produced today.

[@littleblizzard7591]

Wow. I couldn’t have imagined a more satisfying conclusion to the Skywalker saga. I cried bittersweet tears. Thank you Prism for giving our heroes what they deserve.

[@BarneyAcaron]

This was without a doubt one of the most incredible works of fiction ever put to media. I wish this was the newest trilogy. Beautiful writing. George would have said the story rhymed. Thank you for this!

[@kayne8222]

Yes! He actually did it, he brought the prequels, the OT, and his trilogy into a cohesive beautiful story! Wtf Disney, gigachad over here showing how it's supposed to be done!

[@animeanibe]

Lucas should see this.

[@Madeoftea]

@@kayne8222Gigachad AF yo.

[@MurphTurn2]

The usage of the old republic storylines and Revan was the coolest thing yet! Amazing work!

[@RyanTheDark]

100/10! It was perfect, man! This is the true ending to the saga. The heroes going through unimaginable amount of suffering and pain but eventually finding hope and rising through the darkness! That ending with Anakin was truly respectful to the Chosen One prophecy and Luke getting his happily ever after was unexpected since mostly he just die because that's how people like to end his legacy but I love this even more!

[@VisionarySea]

You healed something Disney broke when I watched the Last jedi. All with your trilogy. I legitimately just cried at the end.

[@prismstories]

Awe thanks man!

[@blackbird8192]

i can't believe how much better this is than the sequel trilogy, it blows me away! the ending actually brought a tear to my eye, i went back and watched it 3 times! while after the original RoS i just wanted my 2 hours back.

[@animeanibe]

Haha, I skipped RoS, and with the time I saved, I was able to see Prism's masterpieces.

[@johnkennedy13]

George would be proud. Thank you so much for this incredibly moving and entertaining story. This was star wars. ❤

[@thomassevy4930]

You allowed the story to transend agendas and become a true fantasy tale. Like Chronicals of Narnia and others. This is the story we deserved. If you would have come in and pitched this to George, he would have loved it (even the inclusion of Mara).

[@Deity_devil]

He would’ve loved everything accept for Mara he hates her 💀

[@josephdeeb22]

I love to hear a lucas reaction on this

[@sebastianwalt9991]

Would actually love to see the full novelisation of these trilogy. To get deeper into it. That was perfect. Almost cried on the scene between Padme and Anakin

[@Brandon-yy5cc]

I did too. I wish and hope we get some like that in canon.

[@Hadouken88]

As someone who was beside himself with excitement to see Episode 7, was apprehensive about watching Episode 8 and eventually got around to watching Episode 9 just to get it over with I just want to give you a very heartfelt thank you. After watching all three of your "What If" videos I can honostly say that this is how you write a cohesive trilogy. This is how you honor the legacy characters for the millions of fans who loved them for decades. This is how you create compelling new characters for the next generation. This is how you tie all nine episodes together across the saga. This is how you make someone excited to see the continuing adventures of Rey, Finn and Poe in Episode Ten. This is how you pass the torch in a satisfying manner. Thank you again and May The Force Be With You. Always.

[@prismstories]

Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed

[@terrancetaylor891]

Man I was on the edge of my seat when Anakin & Palpatine started battling. Dude this was so good. Great job, your trilogy is official my head canon now 😂

[@helpdeskjnp]

Rey was such a badass character in this series! Wow, she’s like, normal! I love it how she is protective of Luke!

[@cameronvds5178]

This was… I’m lost for words. The perfect story. And I was in tears when anakin sacrificed himself. Literal chills I hope he reunited with Padme. Such a beautiful story!! Well done. And thank you

[@saintmanuel]

Beautiful. Having Luke and especially Anakin in such a central role feels right for the skywalker saga. anakin with the white padawan robes, him interacting with Qui Gon and Padmé carries so much emotion for me as a fan. I enjoyed the series a lot!

[@MrSpirou700]

I... I don't know what to say. Brilliant? Magnificent? Those words are to small to describe what story you've told there. I'm touched in a deep spiritual way. You have just told the story that needed to be told to conclude this great saga, So perfect, so profound, so poetic, balanced,, tears, epic, biblical. Thank you very for the work you've done, your passion, this project gives me and I'm sure a lot of people strength power and confidence in ourselves,, in what we have to do in our lives. You've just written the "new testament". The missing piece in the saga to inspire all iof us. Thank you. May the force be with you and all of us ❤

[@philipceric4388]

The story and creativity here are phenominal. I honestly feel like this should be the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Thank you PRISM!

[@cowpercoles1194]

What's great is that this sequel trilogy is actually *about* something, and has something to say.

[@JerBear117]

All I can say is thank you. You did what Disney could not, and this was the story that should have been. Its my canon now

[@mateodespierta6007]

Crying due to a star wars ending was something I really needed in my heart. This franchise shaped my life and it deserved an ending that would move us to tears. Thank you. This, for me, is cannon from now on

[@peterpidrak9501]

I’m glad I decided to rewatch them all in order. I’ve been tearing up for about the last hour and a half. Thank you very much for what you have created.

[@mikesbookreviews]

Crazy how I was more excited for this than anything Star Wars related in about a decade. Well done, my friend. And thank you.

[@prismstories]

[@chance1240]

That last bit made me cry. Can't wait to see SWT reaction to this beautiful love note to the greatest opera written. Outstanding job.

[@maxapplays4525]

Thank you, that’s all the words that can convey what I’m feeling. I a man of 25 years cried more than once at the finally of this project, I couldn’t believe it was feasible to make a better ending to the saga, I couldn’t imagine turning this shallow caskets of characters into fully developed history driven future important characters, I couldn’t believe there was more to the galaxy far far away, but you proved me wrong and I’m so grateful for that. I can only beg that this story doesn’t stay here and gets adapted to a wider audience, this would make another generation of Star Wars fans not rally and discuss what could have been, but stand in unison and agree that this story what George this with his saga and cinema as a whole was changed for good and has now passed down to good hands. Once again thank you for the ride.

[@ikesters6697]

If George could see these all together I'm sure he would love them

[@NegiTaiMetal011]

This whole trilogy you made has been an awesome ride and great, enjoyable, compelling and captivating storytelling through and through. This to me is the real and true Star Wars sequel trilogy.

[@Borderose]

Luke going from being the Obi Wan and turning to the Yoda--a Jedi Grandmaster--was a stroke of genius.

[@antenglish1]

Goodness, you almost made some tears spring forth during Luke’s final speech to the members of his new Jedi Order. LOVED this man!

[@Comix25253]

I am beyond speechless. What a magnificent and awesome way to end this beautiful story you told. Actually cried, cheered, screamed and clapped. Thank you truly for telling this story. This is Star Wars from someone that truly cares and loves the franchise. So amazing to witness what could've been a cinematic triumph, but Disney screwed it up. From the bottom of my heart, really thank you for bringing to life a nice ending to the Skywalker Saga. This was so good! This is canon for me! Well done!

[@Mark-in8ju]

The Disney trilogy should be officially de-canonized and replaced with PRISMs version.

[@MandalorianMedic]

As a long time Star Wars fan and a guy that has re-read all of the EU this was truly the perfect combination of the old with he new! A big part of me is filled with gratitude for such a beautiful story. I was filled with emotion with the way you ended the Skywalker Saga. The other part of me is upset that this isn't what we got or what most fans will get to experience. I especially like how each character had a their own heroes journey and grew in each of the re-interpretations of 7, 8 & 9. Thank you for sharing this!!!!

[@jinksdalfang8843]

First of all Keanu and Mara....epic amounts of awesome! I have binged this all today, from beginning to end. This is beyond wonderful storytelling. This calls to the stories of 'legends' and deserves its place amongst them. I keep stumbling across so many amazing storytellers and those truly in love with George's universe that it makes it even harder to accept and believe that Disney did and continues to do what is being done to Star Wars. That all being said: Thank You

[@prismstories]

Thank you for participating!

[@Kittydango]

I got through the entire story up until the very end before I got teary eyed. Like all the emotions from the very start of our journey in star wars coming up to the present just welled up and burst out.. This is an amazing thing yall have created. 10/10

[@Awolfx]

Bravo! Bravo Prism! I had so much fun watching your re-made (and SIGNIFICANTLY better) story of the Star Wars Sequel trilogy. I could see hear and feel all the heart, soul and passion that was put into this project. You did what Kathleen Kennedy, Rian Johnson, JJ Abrams the Disney Brand and so many others could not do, which was give the Star Wars fanbase a Story worth Watching and investing our time into. You gave respect to all of it's characters, you never brought anyone down to lift another character up and never stomped all over what made Star Wars so great and profound to begin with. Prism you *Respected* the *Source Material!* Thank you so much for making this video series great work my friend!!!

[@r0-933]

Luke’s speech at the end I’m going to cry …… 😭

[@shannonshepherd5365]

Wow. One of my first movie memories was watching Return of the Jedi in the theaters when I was a kid. As a teenager and young adult I’d read all the novels all the comics everything up until about the end of the Yuzon Vong era when things got too dark I was like a walking wookiepedia before there was such a thing. So when I tell you that this was some of the finest StarWars content I’ve ever seen understand the weight of those words. Not since Zahn’s original Heir to the Empire series have I seen such a worthy successor of the original films. You get it. You really get it. Your story telling and vision is what the industry needs right now as you can see the same old same old failing on both the big screen and little. I would wish you success but I know you’re going to get there. Thank you for making an old StarWars fan smile. 💪🏾🙌🏾

Bravo. The intensity was deserved. You know how to write a good story! All of the other new Star Wars movies didn’t earn a lick of love, because there weren’t any personal stakes for the characters. The writers assumed we’d love them because, well, they’re the main characters right!? Wrong. Props to you, Prism! You did what they couldn’t.

[@shawnchamberlain7543]

O...M...G...this is how i will always remember the final trilogy. ... This was incredible, pure genius, and well written. For me it kicked the last bit of dirt over that festering pile Disney released, you've brought honor, and integrity, back to the story, and to its characters, Very well done! Loved it! P.S. pulling out the old Raven character/storyline and using Keanu Reaves likeness in the imagery was a real nice touch.

Bravo sir🥹👏🏼👏🏼 Bravo Things I loved that stood out: - The ultimate Order 66 (Final Order) mind control - Keanu Reeves Revan! I had to rewind that part - Finn’s speech, did his character and simultaneously the actor justice all in one👏🏼 - Mara Jade! - The Anakin and Padme reunion🥹 Everything was amazing but these were my personal highlights. This is the sequel trilogy that will remain in my mind. Thank you for doing Star Wars justice. Why stop here? Someone else mentioned the Lucas Maul saga, how about the Book of Boba Fett, Kenobi, Mando season 3. The main characters AI narrating! You have a gift and we all thank you for it.

So wonderfully written. Tattooine being here is not just for fanservice, but for a purpose. Anakin and Sidious dueling through the memories of the saga is perfect. I wonder if you'll do a Book of Boba Fett or Kenobi What If.
