thanks!

indeed

💪🏻

that's the theme of star wars, it's all about family

That makes me love Star Wars even more now. If that's possible

@@thegoldman25 exactly!

Imagine coming back to life and plotting yor revenge for 30 years just to get beat by the power of friendship

I appreciate star wars, and many parts of it

it all makes sense

Wow, thanks!

makes sense

Palpatine was the imposter

@@skywalkerkitty4311 “he has full control over the vents and he’s a shapeshifter, he’s too dangerous to be left alive!”

The main source

Thank you!

@@thegoldman25 can you do a video on the rise of Skywalker's pacing

Probably not, for one I think it’s abysmal therefore not really a video I wanna make

@@thegoldman25 well the production was out of control

Well he can come back always now AGAIN AND AGAIN.

I’m glad they exist too

Same. I love the sequels

Same but i still wish they were better made so they could be generally beloved

I mean, just look at the 2020 run of Vader comics. They’re doing some crazy and fun stuff with the lore introduced in Rise of Skywalker! Ochi, Eye of Webbish Bog, Exegol, so much cool stuff.

a copy of the old EU but worse

I think it was all manipulation, he told kylo what he wanted to hear

While that’s possible and in character, Palpatine told Pryde that “the Princess of Alderaan has altered my plans” after Ben Solo was redeemed. I don’t think he was putting all his eggs in one basket.

Thank you so much! I’m glad it cleared some stuff up for you

i'm glad you love his return so much

They outright say he used cloning and Sith secrets to survive. Later in the film, he talks about transferring his spirit into a different body, so it's not hard to piece things together.

@@LordExor Indeed. We have ample info on how he survived.

I get where your coming from and to an extent I agree, still a little more information would be nice to give 9 alittle more weight. Because by itself well...... Just saying it could use the help.

*“The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be…unnatural.”* When Palpatine said that to Kylo I immediately knew what he meant all the way back in Revenge of the Sith when he talked with Ben’s grandfather about the possibility of using the dark side to cheat death itself. It would’ve been so easy to have Palpatine explain it in an exposition dump of meaningless mumbo jumbo. I have my issues with the Rise of Skywalker but I appreciate how it knows the audience is smart enough to pick up on these. Sometimes all it takes is just one line.

Thanks a ton!

Bad Batch and Mandalorian are covering the Empire's plans of cloning (Snoke Project?).

Me too!

I did assume that cloning and force spirit transfer which wasn’t too much of a stretch.

@@thegoldman25 I have problems with it, it makes Anakin's return so pointless if he isn't taking part in helping in his defeat of second coming because being a FUCKING VOICE. I really hate how they did Anakin in the sequels but how they treated luke and leia as if they are LITERAL gods. The writers of the sequels just hated the prequels for letting us have a moment where Anakin would help out. He was basically created by palpatine, so I feel that he should have defeated him since force ghosts can now interact with the physical world and you know... he is the chosen one and nearly everything to do with star wars connects back to him in someway.

@@WildWeavile No, Anakin was not created by Palpatine. The writer of that comic confirmed that was not the intention. Anakin is still the chosen one. Anakin brought balanced, Rey maintained it.

@@WildWeavile he wasn't created by Palpatine. And in the original books that took place after episode 6 Palpatine returned 8 times

Thanks!

me too

@@thegoldman25 I have a question. Will you use your editing which you use in this video in the future

Same here. It makes the videos even better than they already are.

I will try, but it’s not that easy

Wow, thank you!

me too haha

I need to make a gif of that

Thank you for writing this!

Yay, thank you!

all 3 are kinda weak

@@thegoldman25 Remember that context has never been Star Wars strength as the whole damn prequel trilogy needed an eight season tv show just to example from Episode 2 got to Episode 3.

Fair point!

@@thegoldman25 Palpatine Is a dark lord archetype with mysterious Power , his return makes much more sense than the return of Boba , a bounty Hunter without Supernatural abilities

Maul never died and it was explained. What are you talking about?

i totally agree with your points

Thank you so much for showing your support, comments like these mean a lot to me. And don't worry about length, i love long comments!

Thank you so much for watching!

That's my goal! Thank you for watching!

Thank you!

Glad you liked it!

you make some great points!

@@thegoldman25 Another thing I disagree with was that Rey got off of becoming all of the Sith because she killed Palpatine out of love; I think it’s intentional that Rey assumed a defensive stance and merely deflected Palpatine’s power back at him. Palpatine’s own power did himself in. It’s a brilliant echo to Luke’s last stand on Crait.

I don't think his return is a big deal, I'm ok with it. Darth Bane, Vitiate, and Marka Ragnos attempted spirit transfer with more or less success, hell, his master Darth Plagueis was an architect in similar matters - and cloning was also a huge part of Star Wars Legedns as well - so why couldn't Palpatine try it? Some say his return destroys the Prophecy of the Chosen One but let's be real here, both canon and EU did that already and it was always a vague thing that nobody really took seriously neither in and out of universe. Problem is Palps told his plan to the only person who could ruin it - that being Rey. I'm not a fan of the opening crawl telling about him messaging the entire galaxy that he's alive. What strategy is that? Wouldn't it be more sensible to attack without warning?

Same to you!

Thank you!

Let me know what you think when you do!

Thank you for watching!

@@thegoldman25 Thank YOU for makin great content

Glad you enjoyed it! Let me know what you think of the sequels on your rewatch!

not as awesome as this comment!

dont apologize for long comments, thanks for watching!

It's a shame the movie left out so much material

I think the audience is expected to be keen enough to take in the context clues. There were plenty of lines and events that hinted to what happened. I like that over a 10 minute scene of cheesy exposition

@@tam2237 Agreed

Thanks!

Agreed!

You bet!

🍻

i hope you enjoyed!

What can I say, the gold man does it better!

Great to hear! Thank You for watching!

Great comment

I think we will learn more

You make a good point about his contingency, Palpatine would never have a plan for a new empire if he couldn't rule it

i love the lego movies

not as good as this comment

@@thegoldman25 Thor Skywalker should watch this

lol

Thank you!

100% agree

PALPYY

you make a good point, could definitely be true tbh

Meesa Back!

It did take me a while, thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching! With "The Last Jedi" at the end of the movie rey is no doubt the only jedi left (since Luke is dead)

​@@thegoldman25 "Somehow Ahsoka Grogu have returned"

i think i just looked up free ominous music

I've never played it

@@thegoldman25 Well... strongly recommend it, tho KOTOR II need mods to truly have the best experience cuz a lot of content was cut, but doable

I know I need too, I just have too much on my plate

@@thegoldman25 Understandable, still highly recommend it, at least watch the playthrough or video analysis from channels like 100% Star Wars, cheers

Lol never thought about that

@@thegoldman25 Loved the video by the way

He actually pronounced it correct :) It's Hebrew for "The Christian"

@@macangaill Oh, my bad, a lot of people make puns with their account names

@@flamingoflyer8009 no worries at all :) It's an odd handle

I think it bothers people that it wasn’t planned and it just came out of no where in the 9th movie

@@thegoldman25 probably. Luke and Leia being twins came out of nowhere after episode IV as well as Anakin being Vader and therefor the father of Luke and Leia. The originals were not planned anymore than the Sequels, so lack of planning is nothing new when it comes to Star Wars. I know you are aware of this, I just wanted to point it out. I have my problems with ROS, Palpatine's return is not one of those problems. ROS is my least favourite Sequel movie, I believe it could've been so much better but I am ok with what we got. I think the time limit (how long the movie could be) is one of the biggest problems, I think there wasn't enough time to finish this story in a propper way. The Sequels are my favourite trilogy, TLJ is the best one in my opinion, it is acually my favourite movie. You pointed out all the reasons for why I love that movies so much in a video you made. I love that video by the way.

I think most people know who Grievous is lol

@@ryanc970 I know, I wasn't sure if I spelled his name correctly that is why I described him, "lol."

wow!!

They were sith all but in name, and when i ask about dooku and maul, we dont know when Dooku began as palpatine's apprentice (at least in the canon)

@@thegoldman25 Yeah we do it was the death of qui-gon that was the final straw for dooku. Maul gets chopped in half and the Jedi chose to keep the return of the sith a secret from the rest of the galaxy which dooku also disagreed with. But it’s made pretty clear in a few canon sources that the death of his former apprentice and the choice by the Jedi to keep it a secret lead to his fall after maul had already been defeated and discarded

@@ybmsimba2410 not exactly correct. It's clear from both Dooku - Jedi Lost AND Master and Apprentice that Dooku had already been flirting with the darkside (and no, I am not implying he was a Sith initiate at that point). It's also clear that The Clone Wars episode "The Lost One" clearly shows that Dooku was working with Sidious during Vallorum's chancellorship. Furthermore, Dave Filoni confirms this in an interview about the episode. You can see it here: www.starwars.com/video/the-lost-missions-q-and-a-sifo-dyas-and-the-sith. So yes, Sidious had two apprentices (in Maul and Dooku) at the same time...straight from the horse's mouth. Regarding, the Sith assassins and the Inquisitors, you are correct they are not Sith in the sense that they were Sith Lords (that's not the point that is being made). When the Sith Eternal cult was revealed in The Rise of Skywalker sooo many people got up-in-arms about how the concept violated the Rule of Two as if it were some sort of unforgivable sin. The point my piece and, in-turn, this video is trying to make is that DESPITE the Rule of Two, Sidious and other Sith Lords always had agents working on their behalf INCLUDING Force-sensitive agents like Ventress, Oppress, the Inquisitorius, and the Knights of Ren. So having a cabal of Sith cultists doesn't violate the Rule of Two anymore than those earlier examples. You're also not exactly correct on Dooku's intentions. It's pretty clear throughout the Clone Wars that he had designs to usurp Sidious (per Sith tradition) and that he intended to use Savage as a tool in that design (especially after Sidious told him to kill Ventress).

im somewhat with you

@@zekenator8988 this I agree with. It's clear that LFL laid seeds of the possibility of Palpatine's return throughout canon prior to the development of The Rise of Skywalker. So in that sense, I have no problem that they essentially adopted the Legends "Dark Empire" storyline in a film. My largest issue is that narratively when continuing from the previous two films it was just JARRING. If they wanted this to be the endgame, then they really needed a showrunner to oversee the whole story of the sequel trilogy. IMHO, this is mostly on JJ. He should have focused on continuing storythreads organically from TLJ rather than trying to shoehorn ideas on what HE THOUGHT would happen when developing TFA. Instead, The Rise of Skywalker spends much of its time answering questions we already had answers to from TLJ and suddenly bringing the Emperor back. That being said, I've made my peace with it. Ian McDiarmid is a Galactic-treasure and was a highlight of the film for me. I love him as Palpatine.

i see

straight facts

Yo yo yo

I think it's because Vader's suit made him unable to use lightning. I could be very wrong so double check me

That actually means a lot, thank you!

I 100% agree with this

😁

get hyped

@@thegoldman25 started watching in my lunch and will finish when I get off work 🤙🔥

This is straight facts

i actually agree with you about that piece of dialogue

@@thegoldman25I say “If you were born on a desert planet, you’d damn well feel the same way.”
