rey buried the lightsabers in the place luke wanted desperately to escape from in the material that anakin hated

I love how rey mentions that she can sense that the dagger has done bad things while holding the youngling slayer 9000

The random kiss between the two women at the end of the movie is just so funny to me because of how it represents Disney pandering instead of actually including a gay main character. Easier to edit out a two second scene than to lose profits in China.

Imagine giving the Knights actual unique gimmicks.
Like, one is a hunter who constantly tracks them down. Maybe he has a pet bird or animal or a drone or something.
One is a master of Stealth, munitions, defence, strategy, one is an amazing pilot and he has a flight suit or something. Give them some personality and make them feel like bosses.

Maybe I just want Titanfall 2

I feel like the “Somehow Palpatine returned” line wasn’t scripted. But it wasn’t improvised by Oscar either. At that moment, Poe became alive and questioned the own logic of his universe.

imagine being a soldier and in a meetup, you hear "Somehow, Hitler is back"

I feel that getting infinite money to make a trilogy of Star Wars movies and then not planning anything long term is the most incredible thing anyone has ever done. The sheer amount of bravery, the complete blindness, I can’t help but be amazed

One of the things that bugs me the most about the sequel trilogy is that it doesn’t feel like a galactic struggle. The “resistance” is made out to be this small little band of a couple hundred people fighting on a GALACTIC scale? That isn’t a resistance, that’s an ant farting in the grand scheme of a galactic empire.

There’s a million things wrong with the sequels, but the first mistake was changing it from a “Star War” to a “Minor Skirmish”

"Somehow Palpatine returned" is a line that for the life of me i cannot understand how it made it past the first draft

You missed one of the biggest problems right at the beginning. The opening crawl says that Palpatine broadcast a message to the universe saying that he’s back and he’s more awesome than ever. But then the entire opening sequence is Poe and Finn (and Klaud) are racing to deliver a spy report… that Palpatine came back.

The entire opening is made completely pointless from the opening crawl.

This film somehow managed to piss off both people who loved The Last Jedi and people who hated it. That might be the only accomplishment this movie has going for it

The kiss gets on my nerves like nothing else. It just SCREAMS "this is Hollywood and being a guy and a girl without romance is illegal here",I watched the trilogy back to back once,and never,I swear never,did I saw the chemistry. I saw two broken people empathizing sure,but a romance in the making? Yeah... No. Abolsutely not.

Ben being the "Skywalker" the movie refers to makes so much more sense, and has an interesting twist of "what if a Vader was redeemed and survived, having to undo all the damage he did?"

The fact Rey calls herself a skywalker means she kissed her cousin. Keeping the awkward family kisses alive for generations.

I feel like a lot of people discount their own movie ideas because "they aren't professional writers", but seeing what passes for professional writers nowadays should really fill you with confidence.

I met John Boyega (Finn) in real life. Turns out he lived in the same neighbourhood of London -/ me. He’s definitely a really nice guy. When I got a picture of him from these movies for him to sign, he might have looked cheerful, but behind those eyes I saw regret.

the idea of Kylo being forced to live with what he's done and rebuild the very thing he swore to destroy as a mean to pay for the damage he caused to the Galaxy (and his family) is not only a very good (kind of) redemption ending for him but also A GOOD REASON FOR THIS MOVIE TO BE CALLED RISE OF SKYWALKER

A personal gripe I have with this movie is that the planets are so generic. You have yet another sand planet, another jungle planet, and the most boring «bad guy» planet that is desert again but with thunder this time. The original script had the Resistance take back Coruscant from the First Order. That would have tied the whole saga together, got those cheers in the theaters and make the final duel so much cooler. Rey vs Kylo in a wrecked Jedi Council chamber while Finn leads an army of ex-troopers in the streets is the best thing we'll never get.

The idea of a theater of kids crying and adults being pissed because of Chewie while Cosmonaut is just uncontrollably laughing is beautiful.

I do believe that 4:46 is Oscar Isaac's genuine reaction to the line he was about to say.
