31:47 - The older pilot you briefly see who says "Nice flying Lando" is Wedge Antilles, Luke's wingman from the Original Trilogy. The actor who plays him (Dennis Lawson) is also the maternal uncle of Ewan MacGregor (aka Obi Wan Kenobi 1999 - present.)

"Finn, pick a girlfriend." Nailed it.

"I don't want the exact same thing as the OGs, I just want it to have that same feeling," Glad to hear someone with no attachment to the series prior saying it...

"I just feel like I've come so far. I know they're called Tie fighters now." And We are all very proud of you, You're One of Us now ❤️

25:17 "but theres other little kids with brooms that can be jedi" LMAO. This is why i watch your channel. Too cute

"Somehow Palpatine has returned." Pretty much sums up how much effort they put into this trilogy.

The saga ends with the Palpatines achieving ultimate victory over the Skywalkers, burying the lightsabers in the sand that Anakin hates, and stealing their name 😅

One of the worst parts of the sequels is how they crapped on Finn’s character. He was the most interesting new character in the force awakens and then his entire character turns into “rey! REY! REEYYYYYYY!!!!”

18:07 Rey's father is actually a non-identical clone of Darth Sidious. Despite that, he wasn't strong with the Force like his "father," the Emperor. Sidious was disgusted that anything so ordinary could be made from his blood; he even referred to his "son" as a useless creature that he rejected. He only allowed his "son" to live out of hope that it would sire a child that was born Force-sensitive via the Palpatine bloodline. 30:17 The Knights of Ren are Force-sensitive and they basically worship the dark side of the Force. They would be able to sense that Ben Solo had turned back to the light side and was no longer Kylo Ren. When that happened, the Knights ceased to be his followers.

"Somehow, Palpatine returned." That was an actual line that was written and spoken and recorded and left in the final cut.

Watching this in theaters was so emotional! not really because of the movie, but because of Carrie Fisher's passing. On the other hand, I was really curious how they would put it off since she died before shooting the movie. But with archive footage, the help of her daughter and some great work overall they brought her back to us one last time

I enjoyed your reaction. I believe Kylo had to use the force to trade his life for hers, ending life by making the greatest sacrifice, but imbuing her with with his spirit and making Rey the last Skywalker. I look forward to watching the Mandalorian with you.

32:47 Cassie, you're correct; all the voices were of the Jedi. Most of whom are from the movies, some are from the animated shows like The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels. There are even voices of characters I wasn’t familiar with. was hoping to see them come back as force ghosts; but we only got to hear them, not see them.

I first saw Star Wars as a kid in the theater in 77. I saw cool lights and flashes, good vs bad, cool space stuff. I was hooked. The franchise has stuck with me through good and bad times. I love seeing people introduced to it and enjoy it. Perhaps that is why I like watching reactors.

14:38 Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie and R2 are your friends 3P0. And they actually had a close bond unlike Rey, Finn and Poe who barely interact yet Disney expects us to see them as true friends.

If you pause here at 34:53 you can see exactly the moment her heart breaks into a million pieces.

I will only hear "under the display towels" from now on. Thank you, Cassie. Great reaction!

Really enjoyed your journey. I saw Star Wars on the big screen in 1977 and been a fan since and the original 3 are still the best. Glad you enjoyed them. Now jump on the Mandolorian.

When I saw Episode IX on the big screen on the first day I held back tears because of Leia's passing. R2-D2 saw her birth and her passing. About a week or two later I took my girlfriend on a date to see it in 4X 3D screening. As soon as Leia passed she wouldn't stop crying even after we left the theater when the movie ended. RIP Carrie Fisher.

Tesseract? Pod racing? Tienfighters? We're immensely proud of you Cassie! Cant wait for you to start watching The Mandalorian. You will love it I promiss

This is honestly why I really like you and subscribed to you, Cassie. Unlike virtually everyone in the world who have expectations and truly analyze movies, you don't have expectations and try to enjoy virtually every movie you watch and react from the heart. I'm not as judgemental as most of the people that react and analyze movies but I do know what I think is good and what is not as good. You think, in a way, everything is good. We badly need more people like you.

The Mandalorian should be on your list. It is incredible.

God, I forgot how this entire movie feels like a 6-year-old making it up on the spot.

“Horrible things have happened with this” **All while holding the Youngling Slayer 9000**

Cassie: Were those chanting hooded siths just like spirits of siths? Ryan George: Unclear!

Kylo Ren was the best part of these new ones for me. Adam Driver nailed that role.

Your Palpatine impression attempts are hilarious 😂😂😂. More enjoyable than anything the film gave us.

The Mandalorian is absolutely amazing. I can't wait for you to see it!

These movies are a mixed bag, but the one constant for me is that Kylo/Ben is the BEST character. I love every minute he's onscreen. Absolutely the highlight of this trilogy for me.

"That trick...would be dangerous for me..." - Best line in any of your film watching thingies.

"They let me enjoy that love story for litterally 4 seconds???" Welcome to my world. I have been waiting to see Ben Solo (not Kylo Ren) for three movies now. I see a shoulder shrug like his dad, I see a kiss and a small and boom, my favorite character is dead.

The only reason why Harrison Ford came back was because Carrie Fisher (Leia) passed away in real life and they needed someone to give that speech to Kylo so he agreed to come back for just the one scene. But the original idea behind the idea of this trilogy was to say goodbye to Han in 7, Luke in 8, and Leia in 9

The “evil song” is called The Imperial March, and you’re right, it’s amazing 🙂

Fun fact: The alien at 4:30 who gave them the message to give to Leia was voiced by Mark Hamill, the actor who plays Luke Skywalker.

Meant to comment that your reaction to Han and Ben brought a tear to my eye and smile to my face. Absolutely priceless.

"Fin, pick a girlfriend." was amazing because it cut through the levels of the different writers not knowing what to do with him and Rey. I think Ep 7 was building them up to be together, but then Ep 8 was written and directed by someone else who wanted to shake up the predictable plots. Then Ep 9 was back to Abrams, but at that point, all he could do was damage control. Messy.

The reason why Ben died is clear if you listen to Ray when she heals the worm monster in the cave, she isn't exactly healing, its life sharing. She was dead, so to make her live he had to die.

This was a FUN reaction video. Cassie's the coolest! 👍 My favorite parts were Cassie's reaction to Han's appearance (at 23:11 ) and Cassie's impressions of Palpatine (at 28:12 ) 😁😁

Good old Mango Calrissian 😂

Your reactions are so funny they always lift me up and make me smile

Please watch the STAR TREK movies! 🖖

That was probably the happiest I've seen you in any of your reactions when Kylo and Rey kiss, such a big smile. Was gutted for you knowing what came next. Adam Driver as Kylo is a real powerhouse actor and very versatile. Would be great to see you react to some more of his movies.

I think most issues people had were how things "somehow" happened and were far too convenient, like a 30ish year old dagger having a perfect map of the 30 year old destroyed Death Star wreckage. Visuals were beautiful.

There was so much good in the sequels, but they also had some of the worst parts, execution, and pacing from any Star Wars properties. Rey can heal and is overpowered because she draws power from the dark side, as well as from the light. There's a KZfaqr who made a video just before episode 8 came out that theorized that Rey was a Palpatine and he based it on her fighting style with a Lightsaber from episode VII and also from her theme being eerily similar in structure to Darth Sidious' After episode VIII came out, it seemed like he was wrong. But eventually he was proven correct by this movie.

The two worst big budget entertainment products of the last decade were GoT season 8 and Disney SW trilogy. With GoT it went wrong because the showrunners wanted to quit, so they massively rushed the ending. Still very strange that HBO didn't just replace them. But Disney takes the cake with how unbelievable it is how they approached the SW sequel trilogy. They had spent billions of dollars on the rights to the franchise and then they allowed a trilogy to be created, at the cost of another billion dollars, without any complete story for the whole trilogy written in advance. They just let two different directors do whatever they wanted with each individual film.

Told myself I'd never watch this movie again (not a fan of disaster movies), I made this exception because I love popcorn in bed reactions. Keep going strong!!!

Your transition from confusion at 34:51 to angry disbelief at 31:54 had me rolling. Thank you for the belly laugh.

I am so glad that you finally watched this Star Wars. I kept coming to your channel to see when you will finally show watching it.

Cassie doing the Vulcan "live long and prosper" hand gesture and saying "Come on, Luke, the Force is with you... I don't think that's Star Wars..." - could be the greatest callback maybe ever. LOLOL Love your Star Wars (and even larger movie) journey, Cassie. Simply the best.

I hate this movie so much for destroy anakin /darth vader redemption just because they had no clue what to do after the last jedi 😫

i dont know if this young lady realises how good she is, i really hope she gets a million followers.

Thanks for taking the journey. It was enjoyable to watch with you. I think I want a t-shirt with the phrase, "May the force be with you" and right above that is an image of the Vulcan salute.

Having watched since the first Back to the Future, it's so endearing to hear you now making tesseract jokes and knowing SW peeps by voice. It's been such a fun journey.

You might not read this comment, but there is this fan made tribute to Ben Solo titled "The Last Skywalker" by Hero Fan Productions. It details Ben's journey by using clips from the entire Skywalker saga. It's really well made and does a good job connecting all nine films as well as some of the tv shows.

The director (Abrams) confirmed a fan theory that Finn was actually trying to tell Rey that he was Force sensitive the whole movie. For some reason, they never included a scene of him clarifying or using the Force, but its where all of his feelings and hunches have come from in the trilogy, especially this last movie.

Cassie, your imitation of the Emperor is something I didn't know I needed until I heard it. 😄 I cannot wait for you to do The Mandalorian!! Sooooooo good, with some awesome surprises!!

Either she's gonna cringe, get mad, confused or disgusted when she finds out that Palatine "somehow" returned

The Mandalorian is super fun. They take place in 5 years after Return of The Jedi (ep6) and 25 years before The Force Awakens (ep7) - Though Mando season 3 is supposed jump forward in time a bit.

“Aw he’s so cute!” *ben dies* “Uh WHAT” Legit my reaction in theaters

"That trick would be dangerous for me" - I laughed so hard tears ran down my face, all of us married guys thought that trick would be dangerous for your husband. Great job as always Miss Cassie, you're the best thing on KZfaq Reactions ever.

I really enjoy your reactions! You're the most sincere, and have genuinely enjoyable comments and insight while you watch the story unfold. To me, it is like watching a movie with a good friend, even though i have seen them a hundred times, it feels exciting and hearfelt to share it with you. That sounds really strange to say about someone you have never really met or even communicated with! You and your sister are a delight! P.S. When you said " It would be trouble if i had that power" You know power can corrupt, smart you would of have made a good jedi!

"I'm not sure how Chewie survived that." Um, he was on another shuttle. That was why they said, "There was a second shuttle."

At timestamp 31:46 is Wedge Antilles. The xwing fighter Red 2 from episode 4 and 6. The actor is Dennis Lawson uncle of Ewan Mcgregor.

Your reactions are priceless, Miss Cassie. The best of the community, IMHO 😊

Kylo is the best thing from the new trilogy. Adam Driver is a wonderful actor and carries these three movies.

"Finn. Pick. A. Girlfriend" I'm dying 😂

My Grandpa was the first one to show me Star Wars, and this final chapter came out the year after he died. I was crying in the theater. It really helped me close the end of the Skywalker story while having a last moment with him.

"Display towels" will now be my substitute term for "MacGuffin" in everything I watch. Thank you!

"Under the display towels." No. "ONLY THIS BLADE TELLS."

Don’t let everyone tell you what this is good or bad. Don’t listen. Just watch. The amount of Star Wars “fans” here who all have their opinions act like it’s the only one you’re allowed to have. SW fans are toxic grognards often who gripe while they could never make these films themselves. Just watch and ignore these comments and make your own mind up.

Red wine was being drank towards the end of this reaction😂🙌🏼

02:58: "Are these persons?" No. They may, however, be people. . . . I'll show myself out. 16:40: Stormtrooper armor is memetically useless in the fandom. But, yeah, we don't really know of the troopers are dead or not. One theory (that I agree is stupid) is that the armor distributes the energy so you're only knocked out. Not only does that not match with the holes we see being blasted in the armor, but it's kind of dumb that if you get hit in the foot, you're out of the fight, instead of being able to be conscious and shoot back, just suffering a loss of mobility. Instead, I think the armor absorbs just enough impact to make the shot survivable, if you get medical attention quickly enough. The Empire doesn't really care about lives and has such a huge war machine to outfit that they cut a lot of corners that could save lives (TIE Fighters have no life support, relying on the pilot's pressure suit, and have no ejection seats or shields, since TIEs are supposed to use superior speed and maneuverability to avoid getting hit. . . and if you can't, you're a bad enough pilot you're expendable). But the armor should serve some purpose, and especially with advanced Star Wars medical technology, most of these troopers probably return to active duty sooner or later. At least, that's my thinking. 19:05: To be fair, "under the display towels" makes about as much sense as what they actually did. 29:48: "But Rey, no way. She's, like a goody two-shoes good." Have we been watching the same movies? Rey's been teetering on the brink lots of times, letting anger and passion fuel her. It might be righteous anger over terrible things that have happened, but that's still anger, still a path to the Dark Side. She very nearly killed Kylo Ren in rage the first time they fought, and she's acted far more impulsively than Anakin or Luke ever did. She's naive, but that's not the same thing as good, and in the context of the Force and the Dark Side, very much more dangerous. She doesn't know about the dangers of giving into her emotions and darker impulses, so doesn't avoid them as assiduously as Luke did, nor does she understand, as Anakin did, what it means to give into them. Anakin choose to follow the Dark Path because he believed he needed its power, Rey has been in danger of tripping and falling face-first onto it her entire journey. 34:11: I. . . I really don't mean to offend you, but I really hate how invested in their "love story" you are. It's. . . not good. More in summation, but, well, Kylo Ren was never intended to go this way. Adam Driver supposedly only took the part because he was promised his character arc would be completely different from Darth Vader's, and instead it ended up being exactly the same. It would have been far more interesting for him to remain a bad guy, and to play up the frankly abusive relationship undertones that are already there. Rey wanting to believe in the "good" in him, continually putting herself in positions where he can hurt her, because there isn't any good in him and he wants to control her and remake her into what he wants her to be. Instead, we get another "my magic sex will fix broken boy" arc, which wasn't good when "Twilight" did it and hasn't aged any better. It's not *BAD,* but there's parts of this that really make me uncomfortable if you think about them too deeply. 37:44: No, it's because healing powers are rare. Doyalist reason, it's because giving such potent powers to a character takes away a lot of narrative stakes, if the characters can't get injured and be imperiled. Watsonian, it's just a difficult and advanced technique that not every Jedi can do. Everyone, even Jedi, have their own specialties, things they're good at, things they suck at. Aptitude with Force Healing is a very rare gift. Again, filmmaking in the social media age. "Everyone" hated "The Last Jedi" for being "not true Star Wars," so "Rise of Skywalker" walks back every narrative choice that film made, brings Palpatine back from the dead and ushers in new planet-killers so we can have another faux-"Return of the Jedi" happen. It's my LEAST favorite of the ST for this exact reason. Even if you don't like what "The Last Jedi" did, following up on those narrative choices would have been more interesting than throwing them all out. That also contributed to this movie's length and pacing problems, not only spending time on throwing out the choices made by the last film, laying the groundwork for the plot points of this film. Even then, they couldn't adequately explain it all, just handwaving away "Somehow Palpatine returned." I get the hate people feel for "The Last Jedi" now, because I felt it for this film. That said, I'm embracing the CinemaWins motto: "Liking things is more fun than not liking things." The real problem with Sequel Trilogy is. . . ah, okay. One of the most influential TV shows in recent memory is "Babylon 5," pioneering long-form storytelling on American television with a five year story arc. Many assumed it would fail when it launched, that audiences were not going to pay enough attention to make a five-year story arc pay off. But we did, and it did. Now, long-form storytelling on television is the norm. Not saying all modern myth arc shows owe their existence to "Babylon 5" -- Joss Whedon was already working on "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," which also utilized season-long story arcs, and it was probably inevitable that networks like HBO would see that a 6/8/10/12 episode season was ideal for adapting a novel to screen. (I remember being at a writing seminar ages ago, and the author giving the seminar saying that watching movies is a terrible way to learn to write novels, because the average novel has three times the plot of the average two-hour movie. I immediately realized the corollary: to turn the average novel into the average two-hour movie, you have to cut out two-thirds of the plot). But an advantage "Babylon 5" has over many modern myth arc shows is that the creator, J Michael Stracyszinski, had the whole thing plotted out in advance, all five years, damn near every episode. He even, understanding the vagaries of television production, had "trap doors" written in by which he could suddenly eject an actor from the show if they became unavailable for whatever reason, and have another character take up their role in the narrative. What we saw was pretty darn close to his original five-year plan. "Babylon 5" rewards rewatches, as you can see all the little pieces that fit together once you understand the whole tapestry (JMS was a huge fan of Chekov's Gun: if there's a gun on the mantle in Act I, you'd better shoot someone with it by Act III. He was also a big fan of the corollary: If you shoot someone in Act III, there had *BETTER* be a gun on the mantle in Act I). Modern myth arc shows, like the new Battlestar Galactica, don't reward rewatches, and actually punish them, as you can see that this wasn't planned out in advance, the writers were making things up as they went, and once you've seen the whole tapestry, the seams start to show where things were inexpertly patched and pieces that were never meant to fit together are stitched to each other in a way that doesn't really work if you look too closely. That's the main failing of the Sequel Trilogy. Say what you will about George Lucas, and there's certainly room for debate regarding how much of the "Star Wars" saga he actually had planned, but he at least had a general idea, the major events and important story beats, and delivered on those. Most importantly, he understood the central theme he was going for: Family. The PT and OT are all about family. It's why we meet Anakin as a child with his mother, why he has no father. He yearns for family, and it's this weakness Palpatine hammers on to turn him to the Dark Side. It's not spelled out for us, but it's made pretty clear Luke grew up thinking about his father, wondering (like any orphan would) who his parents were, what they were like, yearning to live up to the idea he made in his head about a man he'd never met. As Palpatine did with Anakin, Vader leans on Luke's family, revealing he is Luke's father threatening Luke's sister, to try and turn him. But Luke taps into the love for family he and his father share, and brings Anakin back to life. The Sequels lack a plan, a unified theme, pieces that fit together and improve the appreciation for the overall tapestry. Lucasfilm *COULD* have had a rough plan, here's where we start, here's where we end, here are the story beats we have to hit to get from A to B. They just didn't. I can only hope they learn the right lessons, and future installments are more well thought out.

28:13 - Thank you so much for this, Cassie! For now and all time this will truly be the definitive Palpatine impression. And no one can ever take that from you! 😂

Considering when you’re dead, and you’re a force ghost, you are one with the force. So of course you can use the force. You are the force.

I enjoy Cassie’s non invested Stars Wars newbie view of the things, so that she was able to find the little things that were enjoyable. Her boundless optimism. But frankly, corporate Disney was so neglectful & flippant of the pillars of the Star Wars world that it’s just simply unforgivable.

Imagine dreaming up a story you are so passionate about that you risk everything to tell, having the entire world fall in love with it and want more, trust it to a company known for making dreams come true with massively deep pockets, only to watch two directors use it to wage a feud and blatantly retcon each other while recklessly disrespecting the legacy you had created… Proves that the best movies aren’t about how big the budget is, it’s about the passion and imagination of the story teller. Thanks George Lucas.

34:50 I love how your smile freezes when Kylo dies! It's beautiful funny! I had a laughflash! 😂 😂 😂

It's cool to see your cinematic journey with Star Wars reach the end point (for now until they start making new ones lol), though the Star Wars journey is fortunately far from over! As you mentioned, they started going into the TV/streaming world recently and personally, I think you will love love LOVE the Mandalorian. Don't want to give too much away but knowing you specifically and your personality, you're going to really enjoy that show. My only piece of advice is that during the first couple episodes, it might come off as like, "Oh this is okay." But by the third episode, I guarantee that you will be hooked, so just maybe keep that in mind when starting the show, not that the first two episodes are bad, they're very enjoyable, but they're kinda set up for the show's premise, but once that premise is established, I know you will be all in lol. Looking forward to it!

C3P0 says, The Emperor's wayfinder is in the Imperial vault. At delta 3-6, transient 9-3-6, bearing 3-2, on a moon in the Endor system. From the southern shore. Only this blade tells. Only this blade tells.

"Just Kiss Already!" ... During Rey and Kylo's lightsaber duel..... hahahaha, I died...... perfect.

Every one of your criticism was spot on. Thank you for not pretending to like thing or holding back. When they said "they fly now?" and you asked if they were laughing at themselves, you felt the pain all die-hard fans felt watching it the first time.

"He's [C3PO] been with us through it all." Lucas's original plan from the very beginning was that the entire story would be told through the two droids. And this, from Vanity Fair: "Carrie Fisher passed away a few months after completing work on "Episode VIII The Last Jedi," but, due to the time it takes for post-production, nearly a year before VIII was released in theaters. Her final appearance in a Star Wars film came with The Rise of Skywalker, a movie that didn't even have a script when she passed away." They did an amazing job of special effects to create her scenes for Episode IX.

When Lando asks that girl who used to be the stormtrooper "What about you kid?" regarding where she's from and she replies that she doesn't know. And Lando replies "Well let's find out". I think it's a prelude to the upcoming "Lando" TV series.

Cassies reactions throughout the movie ---------->🙂🤔😃🤨😄😐😂🙄😍😱😡😅

The blaster that Kylo has when he is running through Exegol before hew gets the lightsaber is actually Hans blaster :)

Still so much great Star Wars to go!!! Mandolorian will blow your mind! Although, make sure you research Asoka a little before you watch! She was Anakin's only padiwan. Asoka was one of those voices Rey hears. :)

I will never be able to unhear "under the display towels" instead of "only this blade tells." Thank you for that. A little chuckle every time I watch this mess of a film 😂👍

How could she not understand what they were saying? "Only this blade tells", "under the display towels"... really cracked me up

Your ranking is about the same as mine! And your Palpatine impression is awesome 😂

34:34 *In healing her, he gave the last and full portion of his life-force. It is notable that he himself is now in a state of balance.* Love your reaction! :)!!

When Ben says dad. It kills me every time

35:20 That's the medal Chewie never got at the end of 'A New Hope'... 😌

You should look up the list of all the "ghost Jedi" who spoke to Rey. Every actor amd voice actor who played a Jedi from earlier times spoke to her, among them: Luke, Leia, Qui Gon, Ahsoka, Mace, Obi-Wan, etc. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

"No one's ever really gone." -Luke Skywalker in the trailer for this movie in which almost everybody gets a fake-out death moment

The Yellow Lightsaber that Rey has at the end represents her as a guardian to the Jedi order.

Fun little facts: The bounty hunter whose face we never see other then her eyes, Zorii Bliss, is played by Keri Russell. The director, J.J. Abrams, likes to cast friends and people he's worked with before in his projects. Abrams worked with Russell early in both their careers on the TV Show "Felicity", which he created/produced and in which she starred (he also cast her in a small role in "Mission: Impossible III"). Other examples of this are Dominic Monaghan as one of the rebels (better known as Merry from Lord of the Rings) with whom Abrams worked on his TV show "Lost", and Greg Grunberg (the overweight, bearded rebel pilot) with whom he's been friends since college and whom Abrams casts in almost everything he does.

This is my favorite of the sequels because it’s just pure schlock 😂

Hope you heard Anakin as one of the Jedi voices making Rey rise at the end.

Yes Cassie, she said; ‘Under the display towels.” HAHAHAHA!

16:36 For that question you should probably check out "The Injured Stormtrooper", classic SW short fan film from the good old days. :)
