I love that a movie titled "The Rise of Skywalker" involves the entire Skywalker bloodline being exterminated root and stem, and the heir of their greatest enemy stealing the name.

Han comes back to talk to Kylo for a couple of minutes. as a not-a-force-ghost but a memory. Obviously this was supposed to be a carrie fisher scene but she went and died and they begged/paid Harrison ford a shitload to come back and do it for her.

Even if Sheev created Anakin, they probably have no genetic relationship. So it's fine, just like it'd be fine if C-3PO and Luke kissed.

You guys also realize Vader wasn't meant to be Luke's father in the first film?

That they completely invented that fact when writing the second film?

There's a lot of poo poo in Star Wars that gets made up on the spot, so the whole Anakin being Palpatines Son really isn't that loving weird given the context of star wars.


The same thing happened with Leia being Vader's daughter. They only decided to do that when they were developing the third film.

Remember all the romance and jealousy and love triangle between luke, han and leia?

That was legitimately supposed to be a will they wont they triangle between unrelated people.

I don’t think there's anything wrong with the notion that Sidious and Plagueis created Anakin in the course of their crazy force experiments. I think it's fitting that the evil sorcerers accidentally sowed the seed (so to speak) of their own destruction. I just think, given the way Palpatine is shown to operate throughout the series, it's a complete misunderstanding of his character to suppose that he deliberately created and knew about this ultimate weapon that he was secretly grooming from the point of conception.

I need a list of the all the plot/world/character/previous movie inconsistencies, because I've lost track of how many there are. 1 every minute?

Where did all the crew for the new SD's come from?
Why does the First Order need them, they already OWN the galaxy?
Why are there SD's crashing over Jakuu AND Endor, which have no significance to the galaxy?

I have so many questions.

It's fanfiction sure, but it's also established canon per Disney. Just like the trash monster in ANH being a powerful force user and rape survivor that only grabbed Luke to baptize him in the force and may have reincarnated into Rey after dying. That is also canon.

If Disney fans want to go read a comic book where it's revealed that actually Palpatine meant for everything in TPM to happen exactly as it did, that's their problem, but it's not in the movies. In the movies, "the ability to create life" probably isn't even real, and Sheev for sure doesn't have it, and his plan is to start a war as a pretext for taking over the galaxy and killing all the Jedi. He doesn't need Anakin; having him is just a bonus.

Prequel detractors have come a long way. Now they have to go the EU to explain why the movies are stupid :thunk:

Well see, she asked who her parents were, not who her grandpa was. The dark side cave/tree requires very clear and specific phrasing.

Yeah, I think even if they did it they may not have even known it succeeded. But also, Palpatine says he never learned how to do what Plagueis did, so it's really more likely the latter is Anakin's "dad" than the former.

Why did Rey have a force vision when she touched Anakin's lightsaber in TFA, and why did she hear Kenobi's voice during it but no one else?

Luke and Leia were twins. Vader could feel Luke's power/potential from a distance but felt nothing even as he personally captured and interrogated his own daughter who should've been equally powerful.

So maybe, maybe not. Maybe Palp's son was a force dud like Leia.

This is why her being no one special never made sense. She's obviously intended to be special from the beginning.

So maybe, maybe not.

Luke is actively using The Force in that moment, though. All Force-strong people seemingly use it to some extent when piloting stuff.

Yeah I mean he's "done" as in being one of the stars of the flicks but I'm sure he won't have a problem popping back to get his likeness taken for a few seconds or to be like TRUST YOUR FEELINGS in ghost form in a later movie or whatever.
