Exactly this. I was blinded and over excited to be in a cinema watching Star Wars again! Reliving those sweet childhood experiences thinking it’s the best thing ever and then bus ride back thinking heavily about how it all didn’t make sense and was actually garbage haha how embarrassed I feel now!

@@kurtwagner1915 Showing it is a sizable portion of The Last Jedi. They didn’t make it a whole movie because this wasn’t Luke’s trilogy. Episodes 4-6 were Luke’s trilogy.

@@DanBlondell bs. They show him starting a school, having one bad dream and then coming a swipe away from killing his nephew. There was no explanation as to why luke went from being so optimistic he knew he could save vader to willing to kill han and leias son over a vision, much less a large chunk. Bogus. I call bs.

@@kurtwagner1915 It seems strongly implied that it wasn’t one bad dream but was closer to the nightmares of Padme’s death that Palpatine induced in Anakin in the prequels. Luke knows from Vader and from himself how strong the pull to the dark side is in his family. Then he acts on the nightmares, which action ends up creating a new Darth Vader, who once again destroys the Jedi temple - Luke brings about his own absolute worst nightmare. It’s a mirror of the events with Yoda in Empire. It’s fair to say this makes the motivations unclear to a fresh viewer, and therefore as a movie that anyone can pop in and see it falls short, but as a Star Wars movie for Star Wars fans the motivations are clear.

On the other back in the day when the original trilogy was in theaters literally everyone I knew expected Luke to figure out how to grow his hand back to show If Vader hadn't fallen he could have healed himself. Maybe he would have if head writer leigh Brackett ( genuine old school science fantasy writer) for the 2nd film hadn't died before the 3rd one.

Wasnt Force Healing a part of the Star Wars universe for decades tho?

@@wisgarus yeah but not to that level. You wouldn't grow back fingers and hands. More like: You heal unhumanly quickly. Otherwise Palpatine could not have swayed Anakin to the dark side.

It started out OK, but quickly fell apart. Then they ran out of ideas and killed good ole Palps again

@@jlw35cudvm I agree. The force awakens, while some complain about it being too similar to a new hope (which is kinda true), was a good solid introduction. It properly introduced all the new characters, set up some plot points and questions to be answered later, without being too risky. However, things completely fell apart in episode 8. And while episode 9 tried to fix the mistakes of 8, there’s only so much you can do. Tbh, JJ abrams should have directed the entire trilogy instead of jumping back and forth between directors

It was set up alright. Episode 7 set up a lot of storylines that left the fans wanting more. Then Episode 8 came around and said “Ya know all those plotlines you’ve invested yourself in and have been pondering for the last 2 years? Well they aren’t going anywhere!” and then by Episode 9 people didn’t give a shit anymore because Episode 8 made you feel like a chump for caring about where this was going.

The originals weren’t planned out either

That's what most people thought

I agree, there were definitely seeds of something good there. If I were to try to pinpoint the moment it all went wrong ... I think it would have to be the destruction of Starkiller Base. They could have built a decently cool trilogy around it as the major plot point. Imagine if the rebels failed to destroy the base in The Force Awakens. They could disable it, perhaps, but it would be left as a major threat to the galaxy while remaining the First Order's base of operations. It would be their one and only tool of asserting dominance over the galaxy, but a very effective tool at that. The Last Jedi could then be about the Resistance trying to avoid being hunted down by the First Order, which would involve greater stakes with Starkiller Base looming in the background. End the movie with the base coming back online and destroying another system. The Rise of Skywalker (probably with a different title) would then feature the heroes gathering support to make a desperate push towards the final destruction of the base, and thus of the First Order. The problem with the First Order is that we don't ever get to know what they want or how they will achieve it. Starkiller Base is a major plot point in the first film, but the First Order seems to be doing just fine without it in the second one. Same goes when they lose the Supremacy, and even Snoke himself. Episode 9 has the heroes and villains in the exact same positions as Episode 7, despite two great Resistance victories in the meantime. It's like nothing of that has had an impact. They had to pull an entirely different villain with an entirely different plan out from nowhere to give the trilogy any sort of meaning, and it was rushed like heck because there's only so much that can be done within one movie.

It's like they took everything The Force Awakens was trying to set up, and just flushed it down the toilet with The Last Jedi, and for nothing. We didn't even get M. Night Shyamalan jumping out to exclaim "what a twist!"

For me I wish Finn would've been force sensitive and have him trained by Rey (Or anyone) in the ways of the Force (A good example of what I'm talking about is in KOTOR 2 where you can train some of your crew how to use the force one of these characters being Atton)

@@Christian-be6eg Apparently, the stuff Finn kept wanting to tell Rey about in RoS was that he was Force sensitive. It never made a lick of sense and never went anywhere, but at least it was mentioned somewhere. Not sure if it makes anything any better, though.

​@The Eyes Of A True Demon- Anomaly Productions It's one of the biggest issues with RoS a lot of people don't focus enough on. (Let's be honest, there's so much wrong with the series that it's hard to just pick one plot hole to talk about)

'Rogue One' was brilliant.

Exactly! I waited 2 years to see what was gonna happen when Episode 7 finished with Rey handing Luke his/Anakin’s blue lightsaber… and what does he do? He takes it and throws it over his shoulder. I waited 2 years… for that?!

Luke, Leia and Han were all mismanaged. Such a missed opportunity. All 3 had meaningless and unnecessary deaths. It was not fitting given their contribution to the franchise.

at least we got to see Luke squeeze out and chug some blue milk! 😆

But that's the thing. Luke isn't supposed to be some powerful and noble hero in the sequels. He turned into just an old hermit who's barely recognisable anymore. Hell, he even tried to kill his own nephew! I think this is great because it shows that nobody is perfect. Even one of the greatest heros in all of media isn't perfect. It's a good subversion of expectations and is far more compelling than watching Luke immediately rejoin the battle and become a noble hero who always does the right thing from the get-go. He needs time to cope with his situation before facing the First Order.

I'd love to see them canonize some of the incredible legends books ibstead of the sequels. Something like the Thrawn trilogy or NJO

Mando directly leads into the Sequels. Hell, Luke made the same mistakes as the Old Jedi Order did with Grogu, by forcing him to choose between his attachments and the Jedi way.

They should strip canon down to just the first 3 movies made in the 70s and 80s and go from there.

@@typhlosion4493 haha no the writers didn't know. Theory had a video about this problem.

Instead they made it up as they went. I'm not oppose to improvising in film, but it doesn't work with Star wars. These movies were made just to get a quick buck. They didn't actually have a plan for the future of star wars, plus the writers don't actually know anything about star wars, the expanded universe or any of the lore. Thankfully now it looks like Disney may have learned from their mistakes. If it weren't for Favreau and Filoni star wars would be dead by now.

I remember seeing it in the theater and was in shock what a rip off it was from New Hope.

My issue isn't really the actor since I looked him up (and he definitely can pull the unhinged young one trying to prove something off), but his appearance is... we went from Vader to this?

@@GoodwillWright well politics has always been a star wars thing and Huh was basically hitler on steroids (minus the next two movies)

My opinion is that ultimately Star Wars just doesn't have the scope for this - it's not The Lord of The Rings. Every attempt to make more movies that expand a fun space adventure into something expansive has been a disaster. We can't just blame George Lucas anymore- not for this fact, anyway. It worked when they effectively did a soft reboot or something that was purely a veneer of fan service. The best way for them to make money out of owning Star Wars is make different stuff 'in the universe'. It can feel 'like Star Wars' without having all the same stuff again- the endless books etc. and The Mandalorian are proof of that. I don't think either is brilliant, but they have the artistic merit the sequels and particularly the prequels just don't have at all.

@@MrLtia1234 I could not have said it better than that

The problem wasn’t not only the didn’t plan the trilogy but they had different directors for it. JJ copied a new hope but it had some mysteries for the next 2. Rian Johnson just undid what episode 7 was setting up to be. KK and Disney have him the right for his own trilogy b4 episode 8 came out. The original director for 9 quit so JJ had to make something out of nothing after Rian Johnson burned it all up but 9 was slightly better but nevertheless a disappointment for me. To make a trilogy or even a decent one like the original one or the prequels you need the same exact director, more time between the movie for fan feedback, no politics it, a FUCKING PLAN, and consistency through the whole thing. The prequel(which I liked) had some hate had consistency throughout the whole trilogy. Disney didn’t have that and they deserve to lose there rights to Star Wars

@@Edward_Nebiolo "no politics it" What does this mean? Also, the problem wasn't the directors, it was the writing. JJ is a perfectly acceptable director (or at least in the context of Star Wars movies.. ahem), but his writing sucks.

And Episode IX was just too crammed.

Its clear that this isn't Palpatine. Palpatine would have learned from his mistake in Endor.

it was a cop out. shoulda been about darth plagus but bringing emperor back was the easy way out

He even broadcasted it on Fortnite

On top of that, it's much more likely that Palpatine was just lying to Anakin about being able to save Padme.

The healing only worked to resurrect them *because* they shared a Dyad. Not to mention Force Healing was a lost technique

His spirit's presence in the clone body/bodies was damaging due to all the Dark Side energies he posessed by that time.

Wait, is that TROS or Dark Empire?

Because JJ doesn't know how to create original ideas. He needs to borrow, steal, reboot, and copy things that came before in order to fill a 2 and a half hour movie. His original ideas were used up after he made Star Trek

If only he tried copying ideas from GOOD EU material.

@Bert Rogan Ok, I'll bite. 7. Either Anakin was the chosen one or the chosen one prophesized has not shown up yet. A prophecy passed down through generations using flowery poetic language leaves much room for interpretation. For instance, Palpatine could be the chosen one who "balances" the force by eliminating the bloated Jedi order. This seems to drop the Jedi into the same "Rule of two" territory as the Sith, which is arguably more balanced than completely eliminating one side. As for the "what good is balance if it doesn't last" BS, ever try to balance anything? Tips pretty easily. Restoring balance is nothing more than reset to zero. 6.What did Palpatine want? Power, duh. As stated in pretty much everything he ever says. He asks Luke to strike him down to turn Luke to the dark side. He could either peace out to his clones or possibly take over Luke's body as he planned to do with Rey while he was struggling with his turn to the dark side. "Taunting Rey to kill him just as he did to Luke" is a self-defeating argument in the guise of an additional point. This shows that his plan has obviously not changed, he was just set back by Vader's betrayal. As for Snoke trying to kill Rey when Palpatine wanted her alive, Sith betray each other constantly so it's pretty much par for the course to go against the boss's orders. 5. Presumably one would have to be in touch with the light side of the force to contact force ghosts. At a guess, it isn't a one way communication and requires input from both parties to work. This explains away all these points as Kylo wouldn't be trying to contact a Jedi ghost (it appears Anakin returned to being a Jedi after betraying Palpatine as evidenced by him only force ghosting in his Jedi form). This is the general problem with invoking magic, be it space magic or otherwise. It is ill defined with tons of wiggle room for whatever a script need. So chalk this all up to "space magic reasons". 4. Force healing has been around in games forever because healing factor always exists in games. Easy to mash the force into the for "space magic reasons". Jedi have extremely varied powers and not all Jedi can use all force powers. It could easily be a rare gift that few possess. We only see 3 people able to perform it, so why would you expect to see it used constantly? As mentioned, only 3 people use it so following universal movie logic you can assume that those are the only 3 people that have been onscreen that even could use it. They did not have to learn this ability from anyone. Who taught Rey to Jedi mind trick in Ep 7? Who taught Qui Gon to force ghost? They can be taught abilities, but most of the time they appear to use abilities as they become aware of them, usually by accident as we are repeatedly shown. 3. It looks like the death star is completely destroyed. Except you are showing the explosion with notable glowing debris (it's the purple bits in case you were wondering). For the scale of the death star these relatively small bits could easily account for the size of debris shown. As for the throne room surviving, doesn't it make sense that the Emperor's man cave would have some extra structural integrity similar to a panic room? You also can't see a shaft and assume it goes straight to the core. I'm sure they would have learned their lesson about shafts open to sensitive areas at this point. Even allowing that they would be dumb enough to port the core directly to the Emperor automatically closing bulkheads exist, so engineering to the rescue. 2. I could be lazy and say "space magic reasons" here as well but since I've shaken out a hand cramp already let's give this a shot. Qui Gon was "one of the few" as mentioned above. Yoda, Obi Wan, Anakin, & Qui Gon are all easy. Qui Gon learned it first and the other 3 have all obviously learned it since they are shown as force ghosts. The rest as far as I can tell were all prequel Jedi. I get to options from this. Option 1, Yoda knew about Qui Gon shortly after Ep 1 and was letting all of the Jedi masters know about it so they could learn. Option 2, since they seem to exist beyond death it is entirely possible that once Qui Gon learned how to communicate with leaving Jedi they were able to teach it to any Jedi who has or will ever die. Either way it is still entirely plausible within the established universe to have all of these force ghost voices pop up. 1. You're asking how a Sith Lord in control of an entire galaxy, who is smart enough to plan an entire galactic civil war in order to seize control was able to get a group of followers? It was most likely a contingency plan already in place when he was in power. Hence why he was so confident in trying to get Luke to strike him down. Especially given how often Sith turn on each other it would only make sense to have this back up if he has the ability to send his life force elsewhere. The Sith Eternal could also have been the native inhabitants. If they weren't capable of space travel yet and a dude shows up firing lighting bolts it would be very easy to ascend to god status on that planet and keep the planet secret so that no one finds your crazy cultist group. Uggh, "the fact that kind of power could only be contained in a space station". Mind citing the scientific journal you found that in? Since the weapon is shown in star destroyers then obviously it is possible. The Empire loves giant imposing weapons. By this logic you could see an AT-AT shooting laser bolts and then whine that it's impossible to fit lasers into a blaster, despite being shown otherwise. The simple explanation? Death star one blows up, they start building death star 2 since they already have working plans and it is large and imposing. My guess is the star destroyer fleet was already being built in secret alongside death star 2. You already have plans for a death star so all of the design team involved is shifted into improving and miniaturizing the planet-destroying laser. Starkiller base could derive from having different design intentions gearing towards making it larger and capable of multiple simultaneous firings. It could have also been built to sate the desire for something large and showy while the destroyer fleet can be dispersed across a larger area and not susceptible to a single attack. It could also be misdirection. Look at this giant show of force you've seen before instead of looking for the real weapon which is the fleet. TL;DR there are so many possible explanations for all for this if you just think about what you are shown. If you were given every single connecting fiber, engineering choice, and character thought that drives an entire galaxy across 9 movies it would be boring as shit. Movies are meant to be entertaining, go along for the ride and let your imagination fill the gaps as needed.

According to this video though, it's a plot hole because Palp should have seen it coming...

Minor precognition is a BIG part of all force user abilities, they all experience the "suprise attack" earlier in premonitions of different kinds, meaning that Pals would have know beforehand if the attack would be blocked. Feels often that people forget that trained force users fight in the "future", scanning for opportunities while trying to not be distracted from the saberfight in the present.

Nice thinking sir!

Spot on.

Palps wanted luke to strike him so he could possess his body. Same reason he wanted rey to strike him.

Kkkkkkk so true

Yes but shouldn't two of the most powerful force users of all time probably have this ability? Yoda and Anakin. It's weird that they don't.

@@Oversiver which all the more proves the point I was trying to make, some abilities are unique to Certain force-weilders

@@utube8008 idk why I should repeat this - but those abilities are not canon. Force is pretty much defined, and everything that's out there is taught in the academies. Whether it's a Jedi or a Sith one - they all share basic principles, like pull, push. You can take extreme examples, like Palpatine and his long-distance "relationship" with Anakin's mother, but those are 1 in a 10000000 skills, and are built upon dozens years of learning of the force. Even Anakin didn't have any unrealistic abilities, but great fundamentals after years of training. Cal, Kylo and Rey using "unique" abilities is just a plot armour, and denying that is either stupidity or attention seeking

Dew it!

Say what you want about the Prequels, at least you can tell their unique look at a glance at almost any shot. The problems Lucas describes don't seem too overwhelming on a conceptual level. There are good ideas to be had about an Imperial remnant seeking to return to power after building their forces in the Unknown Regions over many years. The Expanded Universe even ran with a story quite like that. I think they could have written a quite gripping story with the characters and themes featured in the sequel trilogy. But alas, they seem not to have done any planning whatsoever, and it all failed grossly in the execution.

@@Codraroll why do people hate Midichlorians tho? One of the bigger problems I have wtih Star Wars is how vague Force and all of it's history is. They need to add some logic into it. Midichlorians seems like a decent way to say "There's these creatures in the universe that are Supposed to be good with the Force", having absolutely anyone randomly being able to use the force seems weird

@@poko60 no. Not everything needs an explanation.

@@MikeSandersonVideos in a movie where they've created a whole world they do need to explain everything. If nothing matters than fuck it, add a third group and call them Jedith. They're mutated Jedi and Sith hybrids that are more powerful than everyone ever, why do they exist and why are they so powerful??? "not everything needs an explanation :)"

@@MikeSandersonVideos Star Wars is science fiction. Of course everything needs to be explained. The Force being the only thing in this series that seems like magic is a little weird and out of place. Might as well give it a little science to fit the setting.

Say what you will, but Star Wars has had much better treatment from Disney than some of Bethesda's inherited properties...

I think if they made rey turn to the dark side it would of been better

@Bert Rogan disney have no problem buying things they want. They bought star wars afterall...

at least they made Thrawn canon

@@halliegeary8701 the chinese market didn't want a prominent black character so he got shoved to the side. Pity.

@@man_without_fear6518 Except that's kind of the thing. They already bought it. It's just that using the content of any writer that helped build this franchise means that those writers actually get paid a decent amount for their ideas, and disney fucking hates that.

I can live with this idea

Palpatine got dementia now

I like this. Instead of insane writing, we just had an insane protagonist. If only it were true!

The entirety of the Sequels are trash. I can't name one single positive thing about them, other than good visuals.

@@ericmorneau8819 and good music - John Williams never disappoints. But apart from that, utter garbage

@@ericmorneau8819 Rose's sister. She's probably the best original Sequel character. (The girl that sacrificed herself to destroy the dreadnought.)

The sequels redeemed the prequels by beeing actually bad

@@prowrestlerfighter The prequels were good in their own right, the Clone Wars redeemed the prequels by adding more to the story and fleshing out the characters!

but sequel term can be used only for an art that takes place after an original art

A sequel is something that comes after. New Hope can't be a sequel to itself, nor can the original films be a sequel to themselves. When you buy LucasFilm from Disney, you can decide what remains and what doesn't.

@@ScooterinAB good luck trying to get it from Disney!

@@jayo1212 That is my point. Disney owns this IP. They get to decide how to use it. We as consumers get to decide if we give them our money for it, but we don't get to decide how Disney should use their IP.

Didn’t they decide to introduce a different and/or branching canon, than from the “Original Six” and/or the expanded Star Wars universe or parts that included many books, comics, games, etc. Personally I liked some things better overall the way they used to be “BD: Before Disney”

@Shravan Sriram If you like shiny visuals and weak stories, sure.

@Shravan Sriram How? The stories in the Disney trilogy are all over the place and can’t bother to flesh anything out.

@Shravan Sriram that literally makes no sense say what you will about the prequels but at least they have a coherent story. Episode 7 was good but you can clearly see the struggle in direction with 8 & 9.

@Shravan Sriram then I guess that’s your opinion lol I just don’t see how you could pick something that literally has no direction what’s so ever they didn’t even know who reys parents were going to be until they made ep 9 but hey if you enjoy incompetent content then that’s you.

@Shravan Sriram don’t take it so hard man it’s the internet you’re going to have disputes but I don’t know how old you are but you’re pretty mature to come to this conclusion. I will say this though I don’t hate the sequels necessarily it’s just the force awakens set up a lot of cool things that I would have loved to see pulled of correctly but imo they just didn’t deliver but the sequels definitely have a lot of cool moments.

it's hard to tell if force teleportation is the thing I hated most in sequels. Too many fails to be sure :(

Disney actually retconed that move now saying it was a 1 in a million chance now

@@rogue9230 it was though, because it had never been done before, needed the Raddus’s experimental shielding and a massive ship to do it, a vital resource that would have to be sacrificed and evacuated. It also needed the enemy to be oblivious as to what was happening. As they were in the last Jedi. Hux tells them not to shoot the ship down because it’s empty and is just trying to distract them. There was ample time for them to shoot it down and the manouver would have been useless. Take all of those things out of the equation and it would have been stopped the minute the ship started to turn towards them. And like I keep saying, the ingredients have always been there. If you stick your hand into a blender, you’re going to get it ripped to shreds. Now just because nobody in Star Wars has ever tried sticking their hand into a blender, it doesn’t mean it won’t ever happen and the results won’t be exactly the same. What do you expect to happen if you fire a ship at the speed of light into another ship? Like seriously? It’s not Rians fault that nobody tried it before. And it doesn’t break any logic as like I say, what would you expect to happen?

@@obiwankenobi687 when the Rebel fleet attempts to attack the second Death Star, they are forced to abruptly break off when they realize the shield is still up. The implication here is that when a ship runs into the shields, it destroys the ship.

@@gileshambleton2901 well yes it would because the Death Star is the size of a moon and the rebel ships currently didn’t have the experimental shielding of the Raddus

@@obiwankenobi687 So this implies that Holdo just wanted to escape, and out of pure luck she crashed the enemy ship by doing so Thats even worse xD

That's probably the best theory as to what happened. The problem is movies need to show these things. Even a simple scene with Rey looking on a page where it shows a figure closing a wound on someone. But they don't explain it in the movie.

That is more "damage control" writing than actual good writing. Convinent discovery of a convinent power in an "ancient" jedi text that was conveniently stored and kept by a jedi master who had given up on the jedi, and convinently never bothered to read the very texts he went through the effort of preserving. And somehow this ancient text was convinently unknown to the jedi order (convinient from the perspective of the lore writers that is). There is alot of conveniences here just for a untrained force sensitive to obtain an incredibly powerful force power just because she read a book, like it's some sort of videogame

Tros is fetch quest: the movie

The rise of Mary Sue.

for all the problem's people have with them, they didn't break canon and even expanded on Anakin and Palpatine. Anakin goes from being just a base villain to a tragic hero character, someone who made the wrong choices for the right reasons and lost everything (or, at least, he thought he lost everything). The video goes over how the prequels expanded Palpatine's character better than I can paraphrase it XD. There are some slight plot holes, but nothing big

The problem is that 7 added absolutely nothing and did very little for the characters, 8 tried its hardest to lead the franchise in a new direction and 9 tried to undo it.

exactly, its not something the jedi would do.

@Bill Wurtz 2 does it matter if he's new? at least he's a fan

@Bill Wurtz 2 kk lol chill

@Bill Wurtz 2 Luke was okay but there are other characters better than him he was always too naive for my liking he should've killed his father instead of believing that a man who killed thousands would have a shred of humanity of course in the end it paid off but it could've easily gone the other way. Side note I hate the fact that the dark side of the force is used as something that corrupts you instead of you being able to use it because you are corrupt. When they finally come back to the light I'm supposed to feel like they redeemed themselves or deserve my sympathy. I only watched the first movie but some people wanted kylo to stay alive as if he wouldn't be sentenced to life or executed for genocide

They ruined Han and Leia too. So much character regression. Making Han a smuggler again and wiping out the Jedi and Republic and bringing back the emperor made the OT pointless

@I Liiie lol Even entire things in earth is better than the sequels too

Which is exactly what he wanted Luke to do. “Take your weapon. Strike me down with all of your anger and your journey to the Dark Side will be complete.”

I’m still wondering who he screwed with or force impregnate.

@Tyler Woods In the novelization it is said that Rey's father is actually a failed clone of Palpatine (failed as in not force sensitive).

@@WhyTho525 that’s the Disney formula. “What an explanation? Go buy our books.” It’s basically DLC for films and a convenience for lazy writers

@@lewiskazinsky7334 Yup

@@WhyTho525 Why would Rey be this powerful though when her father wasn't even force sensitive at all?

In reality, there is only one type of Star Wars fan, those who like Star Wars movies!

@@jayo1212 urm what.

@@jayo1212 but what about the average clone wars enjoyer

So it sounds like there's only one type of Star Wars fans, because 5/9 are OK at best.

There's 2 truly great star wars movies and the rest range from average to terrible.

That should be a quadrilogy, including ROTJ

Replace Rogue One with Revenge of the Sith. Now that's the ultimate trilogy.

How come the most controversial Star Wars movies have titles that begin with the letter "r" ?

Because they’re not, you fucking idiot.

My top 3 are 1) Revenge of the Sith 2) Rogue One 3) Return of the Jedi. (I actually liked episode 7 when it came out it was my #3 at first there was mystery with Rey, a Stormtrooper who defected to the Resistance which sounds like it would be amazing to explore, Luke was potentially back, mystery of Snoke, Kylo Ren I still think is pretty cool just being a Vader fanboy with anger issues, but then 8 and 9 just throw away all the potential with horrible writing and confusing decisions)

IMO Star Wars episodes 1-6 are some of the best films in history. 7,8 and 9 are the worst films ever made.

No, we must save it.........to show how NOT to do a star wars trilogy in the future.

People said the same about the prequels just saying

@@jamesthompson9959 Well, they're the same asshats who have been bitching since the early 2000s. The prequels are widely loved, get over it prequel haters.

@Billy O'sullivan People who hate the prequels are dumb people who say sorry before they express their opinion and can't spell the word 'prequel'.

Exactly. If you build a shoddy foundation (Episode 7) and put crooked walls (Episode 8) atop it, there's nothing you can do with the roof that would save the house. Somebody should have realized after Episode 8 that the story had spun into such a mess they needed more than one movie to fix it, but I guess a bunch of contracts had already stipulated that three movies would be made, so there was no turning back. Episode 9 was doomed from the set-up alone, or rather lack thereof. It could not possibly have been that good.

it probably didnt help that disney decided after episode 7 to completely change the whole directing staff. episode 8 had different directors and different writers. Then episode 9 had part off the episode 7 team back and they just tried to fix the things that the episode 8 writers ruined but by attempting so ruined stuff even further.

And don't get me started on them bringing back Palpatine with no reason or explanation behind it 😡

@@Codraroll I feel like if disney kept all of the same writers and directors that worked on episode 7 and had 1 more movie to close all of the plot holes than they would've succeeded with these movies

@@hencefernande721there was an explanation, they just are very bad at communicating it. basically palps had a backup plan for if he died, and activated “operation: cinder” (look that up later, too long to explain here). at the same time, sith cultists on exegol were worshipping palps and they starting cloning him as part of his plan. most were failures, as seen with snoke, however snoke was useful in a way. he helped lead kylo ren to become the heir to the sith. during the entirety of the saga since ROTJ, palpy’s ghost and his sith dudes have been training an army called the sith eternal. they also made ships????(thats the only thing that isnt explained well) anyways yadda yadda yadda ROS happens TL;DR, Palpy made a backup plan and sith dudes cloned him and made funny army, clone palps is not the real palpatine

Box set with gold accents! You know it. The VHS originals. All you need.

Let's not and say we did...!

Thats because the vast majority of movie goers dont read comics.

There's also theories that palpatine used force healing on anakin when he found him lying near the lava bed of mustafar after his duel with obiwan. He could just be comforting him though.

@@Turbulation1 since palpatine is a sith, and force healing is a light side power, he probably wasnt.

@@Julian-pw5mv That's the thing.... It's a dark side power, palpatine literally mentions Darth Plagueis having the difficult dark side power to "keep the ones he cared about from dying".

@@Missingno_Miner In the books, the Emperor used a dark side power that supplanted one person's consciousness into the body of another being. This is most likely the power he referred to having learned from Plagueis. He most commonly used it to (1) keep himself alive by inserting his essence into physical clones of himself and (2) to torture his enemies well past death for as long as he wanted. That's not the same thing as healing, and it's justifiably dark.

@@extantsanity By the books, you obviously mean the EU, based on the obvious reference to Dark Empire. Which is not canon.
