Star Wars: Episode IX - THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

[Khev]

OK, I'll bite... rank them.

SW
TROS
ESB

Uhhh, all the rest, lol.

Broom Boy is definitely last though, lol.

Shockingly enough I might have to put AOTC's final shot in the Top 5. One of the *very* few things that film got right. ROTJ is a nice group shot but also a little weird and off center.

EDIT: I often forget that ESB's last shot is *not* Luke with his arm around Leia watching the Falcon but rather the Rebel ships flying through space. So that one drops to #3 after TROS.

LOL, the Rise Of Skywalker’s final shot is like the fourth time we’ve seen the whole “character stands looking at the horizon of the twin suns”. It’s beyond stale at this point. Nobody cares about Rey or BB-8, not to mention it feels like it was tacked on last minute and done in post.

Everyone, including myself, always remembers the last shot of ESB as the backs of the droids and Luke and Leia looking out to space... which is almost a perfect reverse of the original ending and should have been the last shot before the camera iris whips closed.


Who would have ever guessed that Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru would have an ending shot in a Star Wars movie?

Because it most likely was. Theory is it was a scene from some other planet just refitted and tacked on at the end.

Yeah, and it's also cool how they sneak in the original ANH outfits for that final scene too (Luke's "kimono" obviously isn't an exact match but it gets the point across.)

I know right. Plus Owen and Beru are just on a green screen set with an awkward transition to the end credits score. I'd put that one toward the bottom. I get what they were going for obviously but thankfully JJ's ending finally accomplished it.

What exactly did it accomplish? It wrapped up nothing. It ended on a boring confusing note. Those last few minutes make no sense. Why go there?

The only thing JJs ending accomplished was a laugh and to wrap up the biggest joke of a trilogy in the history of film.

I disagree.

 

[DiFabio]

The shot of hippy Mark Hamill and CGI Carrie Fisher was funnier. They should have ended with that.

 

[Wor-Gar]

They should have kissed, then iris closes... *cue SW theme!*

 

[DiFabio]

Can force ghosts ****?

 

[TheDucky]

I disagree.

Is there a Jedi order? What is the state of the galaxy? The film has shown there is no political structure whatsoever. The complete galaxy is lawless now. No order.

Why did she take that name? She has known Luke for what, 3 whole days? And considering her lineage, it’s a joke. Papa Palps won in the end.

Why bury it in a place where Luke never wanted to return to where he saw his Aunt and Uncle burned to a crisp? Where his father was a slave and his grandmother was brutally slaughtered? It makes no sense.

Why is it a good ending?

 

[Ropen]

force teleportation is so lame, that?s why the emperor used transmitters lmao

If Reylos have their way, absolutely.

Gonna see some nasty things with Ben and Stockholm Rey.

Considering how ****ed this story is... Wouldn’t be surprised to see Rey pregnant with Ben’s kid. Conceived through the force ghost.

BS

In the dialogue right before this he specifically mentions training Jedi for 800 years and how he had a council.

this one, a long time have I watched, all his life, as he looked away, to the future, the horizon

Could mean any one of his students in those 800 years, from Obi-Wan to Anakin himself. Before TLJ, you would never interrupt that he was watching Luke grow up. It was always meant to be interrupted as a student Yoda had that Luke relates to. Yoda even looks up to Ben as he says this and Ben is constantly reminding Yoda that he was once like Luke as well as a green, impatient youth.

And if I'm wrong and Yoda was somehow keeping tabs on him, then I'd chalk that up as is using foresight and sensing Luke's feelings in that moment, reading his heart and mind. In Empire Yoda IS watching him for a awhile before revealing himself. Luke tells him so much while in the guise of a crazy old creature. To think he projected himself at Lars Homestead and studied Luke is just absurd, and missing the point of the scene entirely. TLJ and ROS are a farce when it comes to time and space.

Lets not twist and warp the OT to fit the horrible sequels. I don't want Disney getting ideas of going back and tinkering with them even further after the damage sustained by the PT.

Now I know why DiFabio doesn't like TROS.. Its obvious that the OT was very confusing for him... So TROS must have had his head spinning


I kid my friend.. But boy you missed the mark on that

For their sake I hope so.

That's about right.

Broom boy.. Man I forgot they end on him.. WTF RJ?

 

[DiFabio]

Why bury it in a place where Luke never wanted to return to where he saw his Aunt and Uncle burned to a crisp? Where his father was a slave and his grandmother was brutally slaughtered? It makes no sense.

Because the original ending was probably even worse when it tested with audiences so they scrambled and thought, memba Star Wars?!

Looks like I'll finally get to catch my second showing of TROS tonight.

Probably ended with Ben and Rey doing it. The actual Rise of Skywalker. Literal interpretation. But seriously, I do wonder what the other endings were. Like, what could have so bad to go for some nonsensical cheap nostalgic driven ending instead?

They can start a new trilogy on Tatooine again with the next new hope finding the Skywalker lightsaber(s) again.
