STAR WARS REVISITED TRILOGY MOVIE

As a fan of”Reylo,” I also have a bias, but the moments between them were my favorite parts of the movie and the new trilogy. I am, by no means, saying I’m a genius and my ideas are the right ones, but I hoped to see something different. Perhaps this could have been Leia but, due to the passing of Carrie Fisher, that wouldn’t have been possible and, instead, we got a brief face-to-face with Leia and Ben that only had a slight impact. His confrontation with his father, Han Solo, was the best scene in the movie. Kylo Ren’s redemption and resurgence as Ben Solo could have been an opportunity at telling an interesting story of atonement in the Star Wars universe. She has a new lightsaber and ends where she began, relatively alone but now a Skywalker. “Dark Rey” was a vision of Rey’s doubts, but the point of her character arc was not well-defined. It’s disappointing that Abrams and Terrio went the retcon route and had Rey be a Palpatine, but it’s even more disappointing that they didn’t continue the theme that Rian Johnson presented of not being defined by who you are. There was no clear vision of what the new trilogy was supposed to be, and that is not acceptable in a world where the Marvel Cinematic Universe exists.ĭespite the negatives, The Rise of Skywalker was enjoyable for me mostly because Rey and Ben Solo have become my favorite Star Wars characters. No matter what is said in the public, The Rise of Skywalker was clearly made to ignore the events that happened in The Last Jedi. This goes into the main question: how does the Skywalker Saga end? Ultimately, Ben transfers his life force to revive Rey making a noble sacrifice similar to his grandfather in Return of the Jedi.

Kylo Ren found redemption, and Ben Solo going to help Rey on Exegol in her fight against Palpatine was one of the best parts of the film. These mainly involve the main characters.

Could Leia have been written off in a better way? Sure, but there are more important criticisms from the movie. I said it would be in poor taste to have Leia die in The Rise of Skywalker, and the way it happened in the movie still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, as is probably the case with a sum of fans. C-3PO appeared to have his memory wiped, but R2-D2 did, in fact, prepare a memory back-up to bring things back to the status quo. Lando’s role was really just a cameo appearance, but he apparently has a daughter. Luke also had a reduced presence. We still have no idea who the Knights of Ren are, and the novels and comics will probably fill in those details. Questions about other characters like the Knights of Ren, Lando Calrissian, C-3PO, Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were also brought up in my previous post. Palpatine is back because the Dark Side “works in mysterious ways.” Fans who watched the trailers were curious to find out how he returned after he seemingly died in Return of the Jedi. Well, no clear answer was given. The opening crawl of the movie starts off by saying Emperor Palpatine is back. One fair criticism of The Rise of Skywalker is that the movie presented more questions than answers.
