[SPOILERS] Star Wars: Episode IX: The Rise of Spoilers

[DrClout]

I’m talking from a view stand point.

Doesn’t make it any less stupid to double down on it. Especially when the majority of the audience has zero fucking clue about that explanation.

Assumed all the books and stuff were declared null/void. Didn't realize that not only were some picked off but I NEEDED to read them to understand plot twists. As a filthy casual, I don't mind supplemental reading and nuanced things delved into via readings (Harry Potter/LotR) but through me a bone here.

While we're complaining not learning from mistakes, why did Palpatine describe his plan to Rey? Rey goes to Exegol to kill him.. until he tells her that's what he needs. If he doesn't say anything, Rey kills him, his plan succeeds.

He did literally the same thing with Luke in RotJ -- Luke goes into a rage when Vader mentions Leia, beats Vader and is about to finish him, and the Palpatine gloats and Luke stops.

Idk about that little showboat he did to break muh immersion, but I did enjoy that scene.

Palpatine has multiple personalities, his Jedi side is constantly working to undermine the Sith side.

Thank youuuu. This was purposeful. There was something mentioned here I think where Adam and JJ reviewed a lot of Harrison fords acting and tried to emulate it in several scenes.

Force Healing is new to the movies but has been around in the EU for a long time, p much every Star Wars videogame where you play as a Jedi has used it.

Actually was used in Star Wars: Clone Wars cartoon series I think as well by Bariss Offee if I am correct...I know she was classified as a 'Jedi Healer' during the Clone Wars.

[Salodin]

Man I really should watch Clone Wars. It seems so much gets expanded upon in that series

What's nice is that a lot of the force abilities and such in the EU are still canon since they are used in the cartoon series technically...one being the 'Shatterpoint' ability, which I think is badass.

It is heavily theorized that Chirrut Imwe (Donnie Yen’s character in Rogue One) was using a form of Battle Meditation during the assault on Skarif, which helped the very small ground team last as long as it did.

[Guyverarmor]

Wasn't he a Guardian of the Whills ? If so, it would make a lot of sense he used a form of Battle Meditation considering he is also a Warrior-Monk type of character. Would go hand in and hand I think.

are you suggesting JJ's story beats were derivative of the original trilogy

[chazzyphizzle]

everythings made up nigga stay woke

[Andalusian girls]

I finally saw it. I think had JJ done all three this would have been a lot better.

I would have preferred a more talented filmmaker but aye as has been said the worst decision made in the sequel trilogy was not sticking with a single writer-director, or at least two who weren't actively trying to undo everything the other did.
