This... raises questions. Mostly ones like:

- How is Rey force-sensitive, much less as powerful as she is when her pops is a failed genetic clone with no force sensitivity?
- How did nobody recognize said clone looked so much like the emperor who terrorized the galaxy for the previous two decades and had many mass genocides committed in his name?

Not sure I have good explanations but I can come up with a couple.

-First question was basically answered in Last Jedi. It's plot driven as hell but it's an explanation nonetheless. Being force sensitive is not about genetics. With Kylo going to the Dark Side, the Force found a "vessel" to strike balance. Rey was the chosen one and is so damn powerful because she had to counter the disparity Kylo/Snoke had.

-I guess the second question is like people forgetting or never knowing about the Jedi in A New Hope :heh: and not a lot of people saw Palpatine again after Order 66 I think. It's pretty stupid but there's precedence of people not knowing big important figures in the Star Wars galaxy :lolbron:

got about 45 minutes left...it’s not horrible but still pretty lackluster...I guess marvel is the “new” star wars as far as providing that epic blockbuster feeling...TFA was great imo...shyt fell off a cliff after that...I would’ve been upset if I went to see this in theaters...idk maybe my expectations were set too high

If Rey's father is a failed clone then how TF the original Palpatine her grandfather?

Grandfather > father> granddaughter.

A clone doesn't have a dad, it come to existence but not from birth of two parents.

So basically Rey is really the daughter of Palpatine. A Palpatine clone at that.

Movie felt like it was fan fiction. Like a bunch of people on a forum voted on the plot and it was assembled from the top results. It just exposes how unnecessary the entire sequel trilogy was. Finn trying to hide how he was in love with Rey was laughable.

Film wasn't as bad as people made it out to be

liked it better than The Last Jedi and Force Awakens

with that said, TV seems to be a better format for Star Wars lore at the moment because I prefer the Mandilorian over all 3 of the sequel trilogy films

Fin was trying to tell Rey that he was force sensitive, hints to it are dropped all throughout the 3rd film, plus him being able to go toe to toe (for a little bit) with Kylo Ren in Force Awakens was a nod at that. People always assume a black man is in love with a pawg smh (that said i do love pawgs)

His secret he was attempting to tell her in that film was that he was force sensitive

He felt the need to hide that and would only tell her when he felt they were gonna die? Once things were in the clear zipped his lips? Naw he was gonna tell her he loved her. She was in love with somebody else so it would have been awkward.

just watched it



what a goddamn mess :francis:

fukk it, the rape is done :yeshrug:

still made a billion $:ohhh:

EDIT: at the end when she magically becomes a skywalker .... fukk YOU :pacspit: that was some bullshyt
She kissed a Skywalker and that was their marriage. Also he gave his life to her so he’s a part of her.
for whatever it's worth JJ confirmed it was over force sensitivity.
We just learned what Finn wanted to tell Rey in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
He’s not gonna say that Finn was in love with her. Watch all 3 of those movies and see how Finn obsessed over that woman. How with no lightsaber as a liability he was gonna jump into a battle that would have probably got him and Rey killed if the other shawty didn’t stop him. Finn was clearly into her but they put that on the back burner because he’ll would have been raised has he went after her seriously in the movies so they washed over those aspects.

That's some straight bullshyt.

It would have made more sense to fight palpatine together: rey with lukes lightsaber and ben with his mother lightsaber. But they forced push ben out of the picture just so rey could fight him alone with 2 lightsabers which was pure shyt

Rey killed ben and then revived him on some dark souls shyt but when when ben does it he dies. :mjlol::francis:

If they had any sense in trying to redeem themselves in future movies they would have done the ben + rey and rebuild the jedi.

Ben was the only character with a decent character development but they just had to let Rey have it all. And thats without talking about how they killed fin :mjcry:

EDIT: Ben was a solo so no way in hell could he have given her the skywalker name.
