Shite definitely Shite, wahaha perfect!
Ah yes, i smell sh*te. 🤣😂🤣👍🏻
What if we just sent you a bottle of Patron?
I'm sorry you had to suffer through this shite, just for our amusement. And at the same time, I'm glad you did, these videos are going to be excellent! Pouring a glass of bourbon to toast your sacrifice!
So the Skywalker saga is actually the Palpatine saga and Palpatine takes over the Skywalker name and all the real Skywalkers are dead. Thanks Disney.
This was never planned there was no plan. Emperor had a mistress and had a kid and their kid had Rey when the fuck did this happen absolute bullshit. The sequels are not canon
Evil won. Sounds like Disney had that plan all along. It's pure nihilism.
@DejaVoodooDoll shoo shoo, go away, this is a movie review video
@DejaVoodooDoll Oh, great, socialist trying to come off as morally superior. Fuck off, you commie.
@DejaVoodooDoll seriously. This whole statement is a turd sandwich
I cheered....... when Rey died I laughed.......when Kylo brought her back to life I cried...........when my PC rebooted half way through the film
😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was legitimately uncomfortable when they kissed, fucking CRINGE!
I'm going to steal this lol
While your face is extremely punchable, you're also wearing glasses. Touchè.
Very Niiice!
When Chewie first 'died' I felt relieved. He's out of his misery. When he was ressurected - I thought 'poor bastard'
Can't help but think in my own headcanon that it was actually Han Solo who stuck Kylo Ren's lightsaber through his gut at the end of The Force Awakens. He glimpsed past the 4th Wall and saw the direction everything was headed and was like 'Fuck it, I'm out!' Doesn't make any less sense than the two movies that would follow.
but he got a meal after all
@@HouseOfAlastrian I mean Harrison Ford would have done that too…
@@HouseOfAlastrian LOL

Jj Abrams, the guy that made a star wars movie titled “The Rise of Skywalker” then proceeded to kill off the only remaining Skywalker (by blood) and make a palpatine steal the name.
I would like to report him for identity theft
@@M60A3 Identity theft is not a joke rey
TWIST!
The only SW movie with a clickbait title.
@@harrambou9468 no The Last Jedi is obviously clickbait. Luke says "I will NOT be THE LAST JEDI" so yeah
I'm gonna tell my kids that these were sequels to Spaceballs
Better yet, don't even mention them to your kids
dont insult spaceballs
Please dont do that to Space Balls 😭
I'm with Kuba and captain, don't insult spaceballs like that.
What have Spaceballs even done to you? Unlike new trilogy, it definitely knows what it is and what it serves for.
This is not canon Star Wars, this is fan fiction. The saga ended succesfully at The Return of the Jedi.
alatriste2222 only it’s not even fan fiction , it’s people who aren’t even fans writing the fiction. and Disney as s whole especially regarding Kathleen Kennedy is just following their left fem Nazi wing agenda
"succesfully"
Yep. Which is Y I always thought it was a bad idea 2 make more star wars movies. I was NOT excited 4 these movies 4 this exact reason. I was excited 4 the prequels & we c how that turned out.but at least that was Georges we work it had some good stuff in it.but it still was disappointing so I knew better than 2 expect these 2 b any good.
Well, I liked rogue 1 & the mandalorian
@@lovelydovy660 just a little off-topic. you know, these "''4"s and "'c"s are probably faster to write than the whole words, but they certainly take more time to process for the reader than the normal words. and I think the purpose of posting a comment is for someone to read it, not to write a comment faster
Star Wars Cannon Lore: Korriban is the Sith Homeworld Star Wars Legends Lore: Korriban is the Sith Homeworld The Rise Of Skywalker: The Sith Homeworld is a planet you've never hear of before and that doesn't even appear in any previous media about Star Wars.
Well that’s because The sequel trilogy is not canon!……obviously
@@KaizerSozaye That actually makes sense, unlike this sequel
@@KaizerSozaye Thank God...
It's better this way. They would've found a way to ruin Korriban as well.
@@feco91 Yeah, still sucks though because I was super hyped to see the ancient sith homeworld.
I was 12 in 1977. The impact of Star Wars at the time was amazing. It was everywhere, everyone was talking about it. Luke Skywalker was who I and my friends wanted to be. What they did with the new films seemed like an attack on those memories.
I was only born in 79 but star wars was still everything and everywhere. I watched new hope until the tape was worn out and the audio sounded all warped. What Disney did is an attack. Tear down the old so they can insert their "new" when the new has no soul.
its a planned attack. They want to destroy all our heros, because all male are toxic. Dont accept this bullshit. It is not Star Wars. Just delete it from your thoughts.
Jesus, Space Balls had more respect for Star Wars than Disney has. And JJ makes Michael Bay look like Steven Spielberg.
Good one XD
Hey, stop getting your panties in a twist. It's voiding you of critical thinking. Since Rian fucked up the second movie, JJ tried his best at damage control.
@@sirdorkster Why do you keep repeating that phrase to whoever mentions JJ? It's making you sound like a bot.

SPOILER !!!!!!!!!!! How did Palpateen survive? He got into a fridge in the Death Star.
nicolashrv lmaooo
If only han had considered this, he might still be alive. Maybe he should have stayed Frozen in Carbonite
He was “dead” at the beginning of the movie, but I think that a lot of people’s questions would be answered if they watched the movie
@@cajun4455 so...a dead guy cloned Snoke?
He got into a secret hidden compartment in somebody's coffin
so you telling me.. That anakin became Vader to save padme by learning how to bring people back to life, and Rey has mastered this skill without even knowing it exists? was it that easy? Damn Disney
Baby Yoda can heal people too. It appears to be a pretty basic power. Why didn't Anakin know about this, especially after training for years in the Jedi Temple?
Bean Lord because it never fucking existed, they made baby Yoda do it first to validate Rey doing it, idek anymore, it’s all inconsequential.
Well, I guess Vader was born into the wrong gender.
She did steal the sacred Jedi texts, so her knowing this skill isn't the worst idea in the world. Too bad that defense is utterly ruined by the fact Ben Solo whips the ability out of nowhere. Thanks, Disney.
Now all the past Sith and Jedi look like morons.
“Writing is hard, isn’t it JJ” is the sequel trilogy summarized in one sentence 🤣
😂😂😂
Chewie's death could have been quite impactful. Rey could have had some significant character development, facing the fact that her undisciplined emotions brought her to the dark side and led to her killing him. A humbling failure that sets the hero back, yet also plants the seeds for growth. But Chewbacca figures are one of the few Star Wars toys that actually sell, so Disney couldn't have that.
Think about this - Anakin's entire fall to the dark side was because of his inability to stop his loved ones from dying. As he said, he could do nothing to save his mother in episode 2. Then he had visions of Padme's death in Episode 3, thus his obsession to save her grew so much that he turned to the dark side to try to learn how to save her. THE ENTIRE PREQUELS AND ANAKIN'S TRAGIC STORY WAS BECAUSE HE COULDN'T SAVE THE ONES HE LOVED FROM DYING! In Rise of Skywalker, Rey saves Ben from dying by touching him and then Ben just resurrects Rey from death by lightly touching her stomach for 5 seconds... FU*K DISNEY STAR WARS.
Omg I didn’t think about that. Heck not even Palpatine knew that secret since he told Anakin they will discover it together. How the hell did Mary Sue find that secret?
@@satireknight Is Rey supposed to be Star Wars Jesus now or something?
Mish375 S she’s the avatar and YOU GOTTA DEAL WITHT IT
I have thought about that. This movie spits in the face of the Skywalkers. It's not their rise. It's their humiliation.
Great point.
This movie felt like a fever dream. The story telling and pacing reminded me of when a kid tells you a story and keeps saying "And then, And then, And then"
hahaha
And if you can ever say "and then" in-between your scenes, they are shit. It should always be "As a result" or something similar to tie it to the consequences of the previous scene. Not in JJ land! The only good JJ was Jameson
Haha so true, dude. I also watched Max Landis on RLM
My headcanon is that this is just a bedtime story Mando tells Baby Yoda. He had nightmares that night.
It's dragon ball z in space, the escalation is all over the place. That moment when the emperor shot a bolt of lightning to the sky, I laughed hard. Rey and kylo are like goku and vegeta, they fused their powers and got more stronger than a God. Rey crossing the lightsabers, lol The writer from batman v superman just surpassed his masterpiece!
_"This movie is a walking shadow. A poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing"_ That William Shatner was one smart dude.
Slow yo roll 😂
Nah man, u got him mixed up with Bill Shakespeare from Star Trek!
That's Shakespeare ya Muppet!
Hilarious...😝
Ha! LOL
Palpatine: You could not live with your own failure. And where did that bring you? Back to me.
This new trilogy is like a fan fiction that's written by someone who's not a fan.
Taylor West someone who isn’t a fan of the franchise could probably do way better than this at this point
yep
Perfectly stated.
@Factual Fox Just like with a lot of the remakes and reboots recently.
Agreed.
"Disney is the worst thing to happen to Star Wars since the Holiday Special", that was gold LOL.
I got instant PTSD, when he said that.
Don't do that to the Holiday Special. At least the special's got Bea Arthur in it.
Jesse Mathes lol
The Holiday Special is cute in that acid trip sort of way. The Disney trilogy is just bad in a kidney stone sort of way.
Disney is like the masturbating Wookie from The Holiday Special.
In Legends, the Unknown Regions are unknown because of the difficulties of exploration. Scout ships have to find reliable hyperspace routes, and then they have to update the starcharts. And that's if they get back to known space in one piece. Simply put, Legends has a good reason to call them the Unknown Regions. Disney just thought the name sounded nice and dramatically imposing. *tosses back a shot* Fuck off, Disney!
And in fanfictions: Earth is part of Unknown Regions !
And from memory there were even attempts to establish outposts and colonies in the unknown regions, but simply the difficulty getting there and the hostility of the surroundings meant that they weren’t viable.
@@timoteoseagedetoffol8795 I never understood that. Isn't it supposed to be a galaxy far far way?
@@Oturan20 It's fanfictions. Don't be afraid.
If Disney had any sense, they should have scrapped the live-action sequel trilogy after discount A New Hope and instead used the excellent staff of The Clone Wars to create an extensive animated TV and film series out of the Extended Universe.
When Disney's Hercules has better character development than 90% of Hollywood's big budget films 23 yrs later.
Bearing in mind how far from accurate the Hercules movie is to its own source material too, and compared to whatever the heck is this excuse for a Star Wars movie...yeeeeeeesh Edit: I still can't believe that the lady who greenlit and re-edited what this trash is now is supposed to be *the same lady whose production company brought us the Bourne Trilogy* Oh what a fall from grace this is.
Ann Look at it this way, there was probably a bunch of more qualified/talented people who took the reigns of that trilogy. I highly doubt she was heavily involved in the creative processes of the successful films she’s been apart of. (And that includes all the films where she first found work, under George and Spielburg.)
@@SteveSmith-ty8ko I agree completely! I'm simply disappointed at the regression of quality in the projects she has, at the very least, touched upon. And be that as it may, she may consider the trilogy to be another trophy in her collection simply due to her name being attached to it (and thankfully having little influence, if her more recent track record is anything to go off of), and that I find that to be a very low blow if it is true.
Guess you....just watched Hercules again huh? Loves james woods as Hades
@@Ann-kv3yb Hence why *everyone* in Greece despises this movie (probably includes the actors behind Greek dub who probably did it because they were contractually and governmentally obliged to) A live-action remake of Disney's Hercules would probably be the most hated thing in Greece
Palpatine is now deader than before, but he'll be fine.
I'LL BE BACK!
"Unfortunately I was killed....BUT I SURVIVED!"
It was good to hear him say DEW IT though
Nope he is definately dead now because a woman killed him this time and not a man.
Bruce Wayne True Forgot that’s how reality worked.
Due to the drinking challenge you proposed at the beginning of the video, I had to split my viewing of this video into three sessions spread across three weekends. My friends weren’t impressed with me getting shitfaced three weeks in a row and drunk dialing all of them countless times, but it was worth it for the review! Well, the parts of it that I remember, at least.
"... my plot analysis..." You have my respect for being able to find anything worth the title "plot".
They have found that dagger within first hour on that planet, while luke and lando have been looking it for decades... that's bullshit.
Just plot device like a Dungeons and Dragons badly written role-playing game (or MMORPG). Everything is predictable from beginning to end.
@@herheartbeats5727 kinda like how after Rey healed the giant worm thing it moved away from them and just so happened to knock down some rocks creating an opening for them to leave. I wonder what that reminds me of.... Totally none of the diablo games or anything.
@@Sidious66 Hehe right...all the thing reeks of childishly plotted quests in order to come to the predictable end. . And of course, no use/non-use, of Rey's powers will have irreversibly bad consequences.
Ja Ja: Maybe Palpatine WANTED her to find it. But why would Palpatine make the dagger in Sith-language, if he WANTED Rey to find him? And why just make it a "treasure map" to ANOTHER treasure-finder?
Luke: I can't seem to find that dagger, we've been looking everywhere for it. Lando: Let's keep looking and see where it is. Luke: I think we should give up and let someone else find it. Lando: Good idea Seriously Disney
Basically Disney took the Star Wars franchise to essentially create a princess in the galaxy. Who is the descendant of Emperor Palpatine and taken everything away from the Skywalkers. Rey makes it through the long divorce court settlement and gets full custody
And defeating the patriarcy once and for all! Joke aside I think you are correct. She did get the house that wasn't hers.
I'll be disappointed if this comment isn't in the top 10 tomorrow
Precisely. Now we just wait for the series of animated musicals featuring Princess Mary Sue of the Galaxy defeating a whole list of men in brave and stunning ways.
There's nothing quite like the force (ALIMONY).
@Glen tennis Well said. Disney's trilogy feels like it was made by someone who saw the ads for Star Wars, saw all the pop culture and references, but never saw the movies themselves. Then tried to make a new Star Wars based on second hand info alone. It has all the iconic imagery, but everything just works wrong.
Stood in line as a kid, waiting in the rain to get a ticket to the first Star Wars movie. The next batch of movie chapters built upon it very well. I even enjoyed the Rogue One & Solo branches. Nothing is perfect (yes Jar Jar was dam irritating, however he made me laugh. He was 'that guy' somebody always brings to the party to love or hate) but they still added to a great story with expected continuity. Then came the final 2 shows that not only shit every bed that Hilton has to offer, but did it despite the fact they actually had to go out of their way to sewer the once traditional storyline and spit on every character that had earned their time tested golden right to stand tall and not be simply displaced by a new wave of magically entitled upstarts. Those new actors should really be embarrassed. Can't wait to see them pushed out of their own much dimmer spotlight and enjoy feeling ripped off by the babies of their future. A couple of 'Spaceballs' sequels would have fit better. But JJ wouldn't know much about 'balls' ...
I can relate to that. I was 8 years old when it came out. People who waiting in line with me, were People who actually just got out of the theater and wanted to see it for the second or third time. Not all but alot of them. People went crazy with that movie. When ESB came out, it was even worse and the cinema were I was living at the time had a special run when you could see ANH and ESB for the same price, shortly after the second came out, maybe 3 or 4 weeks after. There was People who waited for that special projection. RoJ was the same thing. It was an amazing time for movies, then terminator and robocop came out, the goonies.. and they did little publicity except for the posters, so imagine something as creative and original come out today, with all the social media and people who would talk about them movies. People would need to wait for DAYS on the opening night and few weeks later. I wish the younger People could experience something like this, not with only one movie but exactly what we had, 6 or 7years straight of amazing movies like we had the chance to see when they came out.
Before Disney got there hands on it they actually “flew now” roughly 3500 years ago because the the mandalorians during the old republic even had jet pack technology
Oh, Emperor Palatine. Sorry that you had to be dragged into these films
Raised from the dead to be kicked...lol..the light side is ruthless..lol
well it is poetic justice, Palpatine came back to finally kill the remaining Skywalkers and have his bloodline poach the entire name! he wins
Ironic, isn't it?
@@freakindamnshiki true. And seeing as how Rey is a Palatine, her kids may follow in the path of the dark side if she were to have any
I think his inclusion has to be one of the most jarring things they came up with. What the actual?
Spoilers, if anyone still cares. But nobody watching this does. Disney: “See? We fixed Rey. She’s OP because of her lineage. And she loses a fight!” Fans: “You ‘fixed’ a Mary Sue by making her a princess and heir apparent to the entire galaxy, but she’s so good and perfect that she turns it down? And then having her come back from the dead, to become the dubious heir to the Skywalker legacy, with no one else left to share the glory, and all their force ghosts telling her how great she is? Effectively making all nine films all about her?” Disney: “Uhh... hey, look, there’s Baby Yoda!” (runs away)
I hope the new trilogy is about a gay, black, transgender mermaid who is more good and powerful than Rey. This cis-binary white supremacist mindset in the original 9 movies is so bigotted. It would be great if the supreme being in the galaxy would exhibit more diversity.
You just hate strong independent women you misogynist
So she becomes the avatar and then goes to fight the fire lord
Not gonna lie, if Rey had killed Palpatine, turned evil and Ben killed her with his grandad's lightsaber that would have been seriously ballsy.
@@Parabueto I was silently hoping that would happen.
Just can’t believe this whole trilogy occurred over the course of like a year since the first 2 movies were literally back to back occurring over the course of a weekend basically
The Rise of Skywalker made me strengthen my bond and love for the prequels and original trilogy. Everything about this epic 'finale' is like a cruel, drawn out torture for everyone involved and everyone watching.
Luke had to go to a dark swamp planet to master his jedi training. Rey just basically closed her eyes, went all "I know kung fu" on the force and suddenly knows every jedi trick in the book. Yeah...this was bad.
It's funny that they TRIED to fix one of the biggest criticism's of her character, which was that she never really trained at all. But they already made her so overpowered that by the time this movie comes around you're like, "Wait, SHE TRAINS NOW? Why?"
@@logicaldude3611 Exactly ! First she knows everything, and it's a mystery why she's so strong, it is hinted her parents might have something to do with it. Then the second director guy says :" Screw that, the Force is female !" Then we find out she was genetically engineered by Palpatine, that's why she is ...aaand she's training now.
There was no tension after she bested Ren in the first movie. It’s like they don’t know story telling basics
She obviously bought lootboxes
She’s obviously pay to win duh
I just realised that if Palpatine is back the entire prophecy of Anakin destroying the Sith is completely null and void. Ye im bit slow.
The prophecy was written by men, and men are always wrong. Didn't you get Kathleen's memo? :D
Well to be fair the prophecy was nothing more then a unnecessary red herring used by George to make Anakin far more important to the universe when he was some asshole in a suit in the original films who was merely a smaller part of a far larger story. But that aside these movies make Vader's sacfice and the Rebel's victory in Return of the Jedi have far less meaning now.
Balance to the force doesn't equate to destroying the Sith - that could have been a misinterpretation by the Jedi.
@@EhurtAfy anakin's prophecy was not only to bring balance to the force but ALSO to destroy the sith!
The inconsistencies with the previous movies are how we know Disney Star Wars is not canon.
Adam Drivers best move was putting all this behind him.
I hate the sequels but I love him.
"She trains now?" "SHE TRAINS NOW!"
Wait, so Palpatine had Snoke create a planet-sized super weapon... to hide the fact that he was building a big fleet of ships? HOW COULD HE AFFORD ANY OF THIS? I feel like Palpatine's true power was just that he had... all the money, literally ALL the money in the galaxy.
Not to mention that building the starships underwater on a planet would be...impossible? Yeah I'll go with impossible. It'd make more sense if they were hidden in an asteroid field or somesuch. They could've had them even realize "The asteroids, they're all hollow?" Because they hollowed them out for resources. Kerblooby.
Or he had one of the star forges from the KOTOR series.
where did they get the crews for all the star destroyers if the Sith planet is supposed to be in some secret place. Literally thousands of people would have had to make journeys there - without wayfinders!
@@garethoneill5676 that was my biggest problem as well. I mean did the entire First Order magically appear? Were they just manned with a skeleton navigation crew? Who knows.
it WOULD explain why everyone else seems to be so completely dirt poor
The Sith homeworld is "Exogul" and not Korriban, thus contradicting not only the old EU, which is bad enough, but also the Clone Wars tv show. Aight, Imma head out
Ehhh I'm not too fussed with this point. Sith birthplace vs sith deathplace.
Crick1952 this was different from Korriban. Korriban is more widely known as the “home world of the Sith.” Exogul is a secret home world located in the outer unknown regions
@Silverknight171 Do you really think that damn you are an idiot
But Kennedy said smugly they didn't need the old lore anymore. What a train wreck that woman is.
@@herpderp7264 She was talking about the EU not the new canon
“Nahhh, it’ll be fine” is the equivalent of “super easy, barely an inconvenience” on Pitch Meeting
I always found it funny how Palpatine told Kylo to “kill the girl” constantly in the beginning and middle and at the end he was like “I needed you alive and to come here all along”. Ughhh!!!
Rey is Palpatine's grand-daughter. Grand-daughter of the Emperor. They made Rey a Princess. A Disney Princess.
Good one! 😝👌
Damn that was Spot On! 👏
Now with, hindsight always being 20/20, we understand that's all they ever intended to do. Excellent comment and observation @troffle.
Thanks. I hate it.
Hmm... it all make sense now.
My wife laughed at me when I went to see '1917' instead of this.
hoosieryank67 oh trust me 1927 was a way better film
Who's laughin' now?
DIVORCE HER
@@Budgettechbro Is 1927 the sequel?
I had that same choice, and I chose wrong.
Original Trilogy - Beautiful, masterful, unique story telling based on past movie tropes Prequel Trilogy - A decent, dark, origin story to how the originals came to be Sequel Trilogy - kid friendly garbage with absolutely no substance and no care for past characters I really hope Disney learns from this mistake and avoids it in case they decide to do another trilogy, which I know they will because $$$.
Except what you describe the prequels to be is basically only what Revenge of the Sith was, because The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones sucked and are basically just kids’ movies now.
@@thefilmwatcher1302 The first two movies have a ton of flaws but I wouldn’t consider them terrible, if anything they are just ok.
@@MigIgg I've always had love for the Phantom Menace; almost a closeted lover of it back when it was cool to hate on the prequels. AOTC I understand the criticisms but still find it enjoyable overall.
@@thefilmwatcher1302 they’re dark, they have a stringent plot, and are decent overall for prequels Could they have not been so... eye-rolling at times, yes But at least it made sense, And that scene in Attack of the Clones where Palpatine stands watching all the clones and Star Destroyers rise, with the Empire’s theme, Is glorious, Also loved the slow exploration of more of the galaxy, even if nowadays it seems everyone dislikes that, Phantom Menace had some questionable stuff, but was a great introduction to the world, with some interesting worldbuilding You get from those two a massive amount of information, Slave trading, Podracing, So many species, the Sith, the Jedi Cloning, So many new worlds (even if nowadays no one likes stuff that isn’t relevant or could be cut out, like Dexters diner, but that’s just people not waiting for a buildup with less patience, I think) Political issues and exploration They’re possibly some of the best stories ever told in movie/book history Revenge of the Sith is more memorable, but overall, had less in comparison, It’s only got a few brief shots of worlds, a space battle, But the Personal conflict of Anakin, is so wonderful, the consequences memorable, It’s also got the aftermath like Jedi Temple and Wookieland, but it’s nothing compared to the ending finale, quite possibly one of the greatest fights, up there All three are objectively superior to the originals Even if the dialogue is a bit clunky to hear and watch, it’s quite realistic (which is also partly why it’s clunky) The sequels have more than the originals, but none of it is worth anything, so it’s why they’re worse The new Sequals that they’re making? Bad, the world’s completely broken, nothing can be done to fix it without stupidity being clearly visible
@@glauberglousger6643 First, not to be pedantic, but this always annoys me. It’s “sequels”, not “sequals”. Just to get that out of the way. Second, what makes the prequels lackluster is the presentation. The worldbuilding and story is amazing; the buildup to the original trilogy status quo is great. (Most of) The characters are really cool, and Anakin was a really good protagonist played by a talented actor. The presentation is awful tho; the dialogue isn’t just flat; it’s wooden and lifeless, making the characters feel dry with their dry deliveries. There’s no energy or special tinge to the dialogue; it’s just flat out telling you what’s going to happen in the plot before it happens. The pacing is also kind of bad. The first Star Wars movie-not calling it A New Hope-accomplished in getting more known to the audience about the story and the world in 20 minutes than Phantom Menace did in an hour. And Phantom Menace is the better of the first two prequels; Attack of the Clones has a lot more examples of the awkward wooden/stilted dialogue. Worldbuilding is good, but you at least need a sense of progression if your movie is as flatly presented as Phantom Menace. Which, unlike AOTC, I don’t even think is a bad movie. It’s mid; it’s perfectly mid. Third, realism is not an excuse for clunky dialogue. Of course, even good dialogue that is very obviously overly scripted and rehearsed can also be a chore to watch (i.e. Dragon Ball Kai, the “manga-accurate” redub of Dragon Ball Z), but the prequels’ dialogue isn’t that good until Revenge of the Sith, which fixed basically all of the problems of the other two. If the dialogue is flatly delivered and/or makes the film boring and uninteresting to watch, it’s clunky. You can’t just excuse the clunky dialogue as realistic when you need good dialogue to keep people invested in the story you’re trying to tell. Fourth, I’ve never called Revenge of the Sith a bad movie. To me, it’s always been fantastic. Fifth, yeah, the sequels’ worldbuilding sucks in TFA. Just copies of planets from the prequels and originals that we never get any further insight into. The other two movies in the sequel trilogy at least had some interesting ideas for planets and let us see them on a deeper level.

The emperor using a sith fleet to attack the republic as a diversion while building a secret massive fleet in unknown space? THEY JUST USED THE PLOT OF THE OLD REPUBLIC!!
Wow! That’s so original
Dark Empire comic from Legends, even more so.
To be fair to the Holiday Special, at least it set up a truly horrifying moment in the novel "Death Troopers", where Chewbaca hallucinates eating his child with his family.
Remember when Yoda himself went to the sith homeworld in Clone Wars? And it was really easy? And everyone knew about it? And it wasn't this place?
Don’t compare that great arc to this trash movie
The actual, established for more than a decade before this diarrhea of a movie sith home world, is Coraban.
Yup. Actually the Sith already have 3 major planets. Korriban/Moraband, Malachor, Dromund Kaas. Yet this shithole of a trilogy doesn't even mention them.

Disney should give the filmmakers a budget of $50 million and tell them to make the next movie. That will force the director to concentrate on the story instead of the special effects.
The issues are bigger than that
@@brennenspice6098 some fan made short film only budget atleast 10 thousand dollars but cooler then this...
@@napoleon4153 but they are shorter also. And if you want AAA quality special effetcs from ILM, famous actors etc, you already need a lot of money
All the special effects and famous actors in the world can't save a crummy script and story.
No offence these packaged vfx look like shit compared to the 1990's. The digital cameras used during the CGI sequences show impossible angles and heights which ruins the illusion.

1:41 I recently found out that Carey Fisher was absolutely coked up whilst filming the SWHS. She had to snort her way out of her trailer every morning through a solid wall of pure Colombian snow just to make it through the day. In some scenes you can tell she's out of her mind and glassy eyed, which is hilarious. So was Mark Hamel but he'd not long recovered from a major car accident.
They had that good shit back then. Damn.
When I first saw this I actually didn't have any suspicions on who the spy was. I figured it was either a new character they were going to introduce, or it would be someone I had seen before but couldn't care less.
40 years and Palpatine won.. thanks Kathy.
@DejaVoodooDoll kathy hired them
@DejaVoodooDoll Yes ""white guys"" well one of them is
@DejaVoodooDoll Leave the pathetic racism and try to discuss like an adult.
@DejaVoodooDoll what does that have to do with anything? So, this was not Disney and Kathleen's debacle, this was all whitey's fault?
DejaVoodooDoll Why the hell do you have to emphasize that they’re white? Like you’re obviously holding some passive aggressiveness against white men.
When I was a kid, I loved Disney. It's heartbreaking to grow up and see them as a sterile, bland, corrupt company.
If only they could create something that would appeal to the fans of the Disney classics.
Disney as a company was never good or benevolent as far as I can tell. Though, certainly even moreso sterile and bland and corrupt in recent decades. What you should love are the incredible works of art its creative teams produced when given good direction, oftentimes in spite of whatever politics are going on in the higher circles. It helps to separate one from the other.
Looking back, Disney had a real bad habit of killing the parents off in their films. Seriously, tally it up.
The Disney-family had to sell out to Jews in the 80s. That was the beginning of the end of The Walt Disney Company.
I pretty much only care for their animated content from Snow White to most of the stuff up to Tangled. But the company in itself represents the absolute worst of evil super power corporations. Old Walt would be spinning in his damn grave.
I remember watching 'Super 8' and being shocked that the dialogue/behavior of the adults was as child-like as that of the young children. I thought then that J.J wasn't very good at film-making and that he was probably a very bright geek who had not done a lot of adult things in his life. Immense enthusiasm isn't a skill and one gets the impression that is all J.J really has.
Somewhere around an hour and a half in my wife leaned over and asked me to clarify what was going on and I whispered "they're looking for a guy who can reset C3PO so that he can decipher the writing on the knife so that they can find the location to the planet where they can find the way finder so they can find the way to get to the planet where they can find Palpatine".. She just kind of looked at me for a moment and I said " yeah, its fucking stupid" and swear to god the guy who was sitting next to us that I didn't know from Adam said "real fucking stupid".. and we just laughed cause we didn't think it could get any worse. And then we got to the part where all the First/Final Order or Whatever ships all needed to be linked to a central beacon tower so they could get out of the atmosphere, which is just going fucking up, and we just lost it. Another couple in front of us turned around and we all sat through the last 10 minutes of the big battle laughing our asses off about how fucking stupid thks was that the ships couldn't go up without a beacon, that they at one point transferred to one of the ships so the other ships could follow that one up, but how that one knew which way was up, I don't fucking know.. Unless they just looked out of the window, saw the ground, and then just went the other way.. But apparently JJ didn't think of that one. 🖕🖕🖕 Fuck Off Film!! (And those thousand hours of EFAP are fucking gold by the by)
I don't understand why didn't they kept Korriban as the Sith homeworld. I mean did they piss the fans on purpose or something ?
Because jj Abrams doesnt bother to do any fucking research and just makes shit up. He is one of the worst directors that has ever lived. He has zero vision in any of his movies and is a complete sell out.
Yes. Were the first 2 films not obvious enough?
Because anything that was created by Lucas or is a part of the expanded EU means that Disney has to pay royalties. That's the real reason they threw out the old canon. It's why C3P0 had a red arm in the first movie and the falcon looked slightly different. These weren't creative changes but financial ones. It's why we have tons of planets being introduced that are functionally the same as the originals but have different names and have been subtlety changed. It's always been about money. The wokeness is just an excuse for Disney to screw Lucas out of as much money as possible. It's also why they threw out everything he suggested, because he'd have to get paid for all of his ideas. It's why every director and writer got rotated out; everything they suggested was too close to Lucas-era stuff. Wokeness is just a political excuse for Disney being greedy fucks; and it creates an environment where those who bitch about the changes get lambasted by the media, keeping Disney's little secret under wraps. They never cared about the franchise or maintaining its integrity, because integrity would have cost them millions.
@@PenTheMighty The odd thing tho is that through SWTCW, Korriban has been officially been made into cannon by the name of Moriban, and oddly enough Darth Bane as well. In other words, Disney is forgetting about their own cannon!
When it came up during the film, I was like know this :D and then I was left a bit gutted when it wasn't Korriban :/
Rey is not a Jedi. She resorted to anger for power. Only Sith do that.
Exactly. But watch out: here comes the idiots that will say she's the "Balance" of the Force and uses both Light and Dark or some other nonsense.
@@Idazmi7 It's in the movie you nab. She's not a Jedi, she doesn't follow the code. She's not a a sith, not following the sith code. Literally buries jedi lightsabers and pulls a yellow lightsaber (known in cannon for grey jedi aka we use the force not light or dark side).

The dagger lines up perfectly with the wreckage of the Death Star. Meaning that when he had it made, Palpatine had to already know the layout of the wreckage. Which means that he knew that it would be destroyed. So he knew that the Empire would loose the Battle of Endor; and that Vader would turn against him there. Way to remove all agency from everyone in RotJ. Now, instead of being the overconfident leader who is betrayed by his servant after Luke is able to redeem Vader back to the light, Now Palpatine, Vader and Luke are all just puppets on strings going through the motions in order to make everything line up to reach this point. Piss right off, Film
I literally had to stop this review several times because i was laughing so hard.
How is it possible that 30 minutes of "The Mandalorian" are more interesting and fun than almost 8 hours of the sequel trilogy??? I don't know what Kathleen Kennedy thinks but under normal circumstances she must hate the success of "The Mandalorian"! But i think she would never admit that in public! George Lucas was a couple of times on the set of The Mandalorian! So he seems to care and like the show! Jon Favreau admitted that he took a lot of George Lucas' ideas and used them in "The Mandalorian"! I bet KK was pissed about that...!
true,honestly i enjoyed and had more impressions from episode 7 of Mandalorian than the entire Rise of Skywalker movie
Doubt KK has no say whats going on with the Mandalorian otherwise we will be getting a majority of woke episodes. Which is also why the woke are pissed off with the lack of gender politics in it as theyve been crying for lack of women roles and mando isnt a women
in french KK sounds like "caca" wich means "poo-poo"!!!💩 ...it fits her so well! Fuck off, film!! 😂🤣
Could not disagree more. Mandalorian is really good but at the end of the day it is a TV show and therefore I cannot be as good as these films because TV shows just aren’t nearly as grand in scale and we need grand scale.
The sequel trilogy violated the core tenants of good storytelling. Not only did they need an outline drawn up of all the integral plot points of every installment with clear definable purposes of all principle characters, but they had to know what happened to the core original trilogy characters in the 30 years between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, so when you introduce them back into the story once you properly introduce all the principal new characters first of course, you show how much they changed to such a drastic degree that the moviegoer wonders:"what the fuck happened to you since last I saw you!" Not only that, you have the story take place in once familiar locales, such as Coruscant or Kasykk (I know I'm spelling that wrong, it's the Wookie homeworld) and show it in a drastic new light. You want to leave the audience wondering the how and why and create tension, while slowly filling in the blank spaces. These films did none of this, in favor of nostalgia in place of good storytelling and allowing organic and believable progression without repeating the same shit over and over again.

JJ used Michael Bay's method, but it only works if you also saturate the screen with explosions all the time. Also also, everything must be teal and orange. Amateur.
