Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (J.J. Abrams, December 20, 2019) Movie • Page 349

But in all honestly, it was a reflexive response because I just saw the movie and had been thinking about the difference in message between 8 and 9.

 

Honestly The Last Jedi is probably the only Star Wars movie with a message.

 

I get that... truly. I wish they would have continued with what Rian started. I just feel like the idea of a “nobody” being special has really never been the story of Star Wars.

 

Which is why it was so powerful and new and inspiring.

 

like in all seriousness, are we now to just assume broom kid is somehow related to a skywalker/palpatine/solo? that's what you do when you make a creative decision like rey palpatine.

 

Broom Kid Kenobi rolls right off the tongue

 

Finn is force sensitive, no?

 

Finn Windu of course.

 

People are really taking the whole Rey Palpatine lineage and taking it the extra mile

 

Rey Palpatine is so fucking stupid. It is honestly as dumb as that joke on Twitter where she calls herself 'Rey Star Wars'.

 

Or people are using hyperbole to express their disappointment in a story decision.

 

Ahsoka, Ezra, Kanan, etc aren't from bloodlines.

 

The more I think about this movie the more upset I get. What a shitty conclusion.

 

Until JJ gets his hands on them.

 

'Rise of Skywalker' made Kylo Ren the most exhausting man in the galaxy

 

When Watching TFA the other day, I had forgotten that Rey mimicked similar movements to Palpatine during the lightsaber fight.

 

I swear when it was released I saw articles going around saying that Williams’ theme for Rey features parts very similar to his Palpatine theme too but now I can’t dig them up.

 

KNOCK ON WOOD PLEASE

 

So after lifting all of those boulders at the end of TLJ and using the force do stop a giant spacecraft from flying away a few scenes later. What’s the reasonable explanation why Rey couldn’t use the force to lift herself and friends out of the sinking sand? Just to panicked to focus on the force maybe?

 

She was waiting for her new force buddy Finn to do it since he had decided right at the moment to let everyone know he could use the force too.

 

Force users don’t like sand. It’s coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere.

 

Box Office: ‘Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker’ Nabs Huge $29M Monday To Top $400M Worldwide

Smallest Sunday to Monday drop for any Star Wars film and 6th biggest Monday of all time, ahead of TLJ. Good sign the film will have decent legs.

 

I wonder if it’s partially due to it being released just a bit closer to Christmas and more breaks were started.

 

Maybe as to why it made more than TLJ, but TFA also opened the Friday before Christmas and this film still had a smaller drop from Sunday to Monday.
