It's a great scene that is poorly done.

Rise of Skywalker is just bad scenes done badly.

Nah. Christopher Lee was perfect casting, but he did nothing in the movie. The lightsaber fights were awful and Obi-Wans plot was just him conveniently stumbling upon new information.

Rise of Skywalker had at least one good lightsaber fight.

The only reason I don't think AotC is the worst SW movie is because it's not boring as shit like Phantom Menace. Bottom two SW movies pretty easily.

Never got why that was supposed to make him evil. If someone raped and killed my mom, i'd slaughter him/them too.

Nobody said that made him evil. It is used later on to show that Anakin is confiding in Palpatine things that he hasn't/can't tell the Jedi.

Wrong. That was used as his first major step toward "evil"

Killing a bunch of children just because they were there is a pretty evil action.

But it's definitely better done than him killing the kids in Episode 3.

Rise of Skywalker had one goosebump inducing moment:

But there are more of us, Poe. There are more of us. *queue the Star Wars theme and the reveal of the biggest fleet ever*

Overall I did enjoy the movie but understand why others didn't - but that scene alone gives me a big stupid grin every time I think about it.

It aged very poorly.

But I remember being in the theater when Yoda pulled out his lightsaber and the whole place went fucking nuts. It was almost as many cheers as the Captain America wielding Mjolnir and "Avengers Assemble" parts from Avengers Endgame.

it's more like his first big step toward the dark side of the force, and to becoming a sith.

Anakin gave in to his hatred and anger (like a Sith) rather than letting The Force guide his actions (like a Jedi)

Neither of them had moments of real brilliance, but RoS is way more interesting, even as a fuck up, and does have moments with striking visuals, which AotC does not.

Yes he gave into his hate, but his fall wasn't inevitable at that point. There's lots of different points along his story that you can say is the "start" of his path to being a Sith. But there were options available to him that could have resulted in a different outcome.

Nobody in Star Wars has form ffs, lightsaber fighting doesn't follow the conventions of actual saber fencing (to its detriment, I'll add).

A waste of Christopher Lee, who vies for worst Star Wars character name ever.



Yoda vs Dooku lightsaber fight

The high point of the film was Saruman fighting a ninja muppet, and it was horribly anticlimactic.



The whole mystery of the assassin.

Its a mystery to me how this subplot survived the final edit of the film.

The notion that some guy paid for an army of clones of some bounty hunter guy and hid it from the Republic instead of something more effective like, say, an army of IG-type droids or an army of cloned Wookies is also laughable.

Im not denying that the stunt they pulled in RoS was silly. It was.

Jango Fett could take on Jedi and win.

He and his clones are the only non force users to kill Jedi onscreen.

He's not some schmuck and the clones are effective.

It's stupid that the Jedi easily take the bait, but, Sheev leaving his plans so the Jedi take a fighting force that will eventually kill them because of their arrogance isn't bad.

That was the best part of the film, but it makes me wonder how it would look to anybody watching whats going on.

What if Kylo & Rey were a few yards away from each other and force connection fighting? Would a spectator see 4 people, a Rey & Kylo fighting at one spot and another Rey & Kylo fighting at another spot?

Or would the spectator see them just swinging at the air?

Not only that but in all three movies hes concerned with helping & protecting/saving Rey.

Yet to so many weirdos its so obvious to them that Finn & Poe are gay for each other & wanna buttf***.

Im willing to bet that, given the opportunity, an IG-11 wouldve had similar success against the Jedi Jango Fett took on. Not saying hes a schmuck, Im saying they couldve done better.
