Star Wars: Episode IX - THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

Just go along with it ok lol

That’s what JJ and Rian said.

I would also add the remote duel they had when Rey was on his Star Destroyer. I freaking love that every direct encounter they had was one that he won in some fashion. Sure she stabbed him at the end of the ocean duel but she was powerless against him until his mom helped her "cheat." And then holy crap I had forgotten that not only did she strike him after he lowered his guard but also in a rage after he *dropped his weapon completely.* Even Anakin had less bloodlust when executing unarmed Dooku.

Yeah you better freaking heal him and then make out after that you Sith witch psycho, lol.

Holy crap i’m dying lol

The reason I love their big light saber battle so much is because just how brutal he beat her down literally to her knees with her panting for breath she was 101% done and what I love most about it was with her being so very vulnerable it finally gave her character so much weight and depth finally!

Which perfectly worked as a strong foundation for not only making Leia death so powerful and meaningful but also Han.

Remember they put an emphasis on the one scout trooper who kept asking why was he so quiet in the pouch.

It was a really well put together gag because they combined making the trooper annoy the other trooper with wanting to see baby Yoda but at the same time giving an explanation on why they were missing a target at that close range.

Just go along with it ok lol

Agreed, it was baby Yoda messing with them all along. One of the Scouts even shakes his gun to see if there's something wrong with it.

That duel and what it sets up are really fantastic. Probably my favourite scene of the entire ST.
I know it might not seem like much since I'm not particularly fond of the ST, but it does have its moments and that light saber duel is awesome. And agreed on it giving much more nuance and depth to Rey's character, but also Kylo's. Well done JJ.

Yup I forgot about that you?re right.

That totally sells it right there.

ZE_501 is just being difficult lol

Yep, I even felt bad for her when you could see her countenance falling as she was realizing that there was nothing she could do to beat him. I think that TROS will do the exact opposite for Rey that ROTJ did for Fett. For years people thought Fett was such a mysterious badass and then after his derpy end in ROTJ people who came later and binged the OT watched him become a dork within hours and therefore never "get" why he had any appeal at all.

But with the ST going forward I can see future kids binging the whole thing on Disney+ and coming away thinking that Rey is an awesome and likable character who is flawed and vulnerable since the four years of speculating how she can be so powerful in the Force will never exist again.

And freaking Ben getting stabbed and just resigning himself to his fate like a man.

Yep. Everything on the DSII wreckage is just off the charts awesome from beginning to end. Even the beginning of Rey and Kylo's duel in the old throne room has him toying with her without even lighting his saber.

Yup great point about Fett/Rey and Kylo dying like a man.

All that stuff is indeed awesome but the connective tissue in between getting to these big moments is what I found to be super boring or just not engaging enough for me.

If I had to pick the things that really bugged me it was the Pasana dancing aliens, Lando introduction and snake heal dagger discovery what a snooze fest and also anything related to 3PO memory wipe even though he was well written in this.

I wasn't even talking about his real death I meant after Rey stabbed him. So yeah I guess Kylo died like a man twice, lol.

There's an extra 30 minutes of Pasaana in the JJ cut, lol.

I was ticked that they didn't show these chicks and gave us the squid dancers instead:

What is it with Disney SW and tentacles? Rathtars, Bor Gullet, Kessel Space Kracken, etc. Is KK a closet Hentai freak or something, lol.

Yup he took his stabbing death as a realization of what Han had warned him about of the Sith using him for their own selfish needs so he then approached death a second time as a means of honoring his father, mother and Vaders selfless sacrifices by letting Rey carry that forward.

Palpatine said that gift was unnatural.

Kylo showed it could be used for good like Anakin had wanted for Padme and his mother.

I know that rushmore brought it up shortly after the movie released but Rey's death was actually pretty poignant too with Daisy really appearing dead, lol. Good thing that they brought Hayden Christensen back to coach her on how to properly look like a lifeless mannequin, lol.

lol I?m so happy you brought that up because that really sticks out as one of the best looking death acting I have ever seen compare that to TDKR Talia lol but seriously that had to be augmented with CGI because of how crazy real that looked.

You have no idea how much of a crush I have on Daisy lol

 

[a-dev]

Dead Daisy does it for Jye ey? Nudge nudge wink wink say no more.

 

[Asta]

She did her best work playing dead.

 

[Wor-Gar]

The reason I love... is because just how brutal he beat her down literally to her knees with her panting for breath

I know how you like that. Oh yeah...

I'd like to see Keanu Reeves as a force user. Keanu is already proficient in martial arts, sword fighting, and telekinisis. A SW film starring Keanu could be good.

He’s too old.

Well now that the new movies more than likely will be set during the early republic Mando / Jedi wars with young Yoda involved in the turmoil maybe Keanu will be given a Mando leader role.

But as a Jedi wouldn?t that just be Neo as a sith lol
