Anagram 10/13/20 1:28:48 PM #101:	Reylo When TFA came out, I think everyone instantly knew where this was heading. Rey would be tempted to the Dark Side and Kylo would redeem himself, and there'd be some kind of romance between them. I never really doubted that this was where JJ Abrams was going. And this... kind of happens. How Disney ruined all of its characters is a story for another day, but Kylo Ren's redemption arc and that weird Force connection he has with Rey are the only things that kind of sort of maybe work, if you squint. I actually kind of like the way TLJ presents Kylo and Rey seeing into each other's minds, and I can buy that Rey likes bad boys. Like, sure, why not? I'm not in love with Reylo, but I have no real issue with it besides it being mishandled like everything else. If you're wondering what I think of Finnlo, I think that would have made an equal amount of sense, but it would have lacked the dangerous romance angle of Reylo. Which itself wasn't played up very well. There should have been a scene of Rey being drawn to Kylo against her better judgment and bad things happening as a result, etc. Palpatine Fornite Event Possibly the most inexplicable decision in all of Star Wars. Putting Palpatine's canon return in Fortnite is the absolute most confusing, nonsensical thing I've ever heard of. Bringing Palpatine back at all is obviously bad, and not putting it in the movie is even worse, but I'd just assumed it would be in a comic book or something. Nope! This is like if DC killed Superman, then brought him back in a crossover commercial for Dorito's. Sand (Lifeform) I don't hate the idea of carnivorous microbes that imitate sand, sure. I'm sure there are a million biological reasons why it wouldn't work, though. Sand (Geology) Although Anakin is right in that sand is coarse and rough and does get everywhere, he's wrong in that it's not irritating if you just take a shower after going to the beach. Darth Vader Is Darth Vader the villain of fiction? Like, besides Satan, is there a more famous fictional villain? I struggle to think of one, at least in Western culture. Vader is actually not that interesting in ANH. He's basically just the Empire's lead enforcer, and he's always angry. Yeah, he killed Luke's father, but Luke isn't particularly broken up about it. He has only two hints of depth. The first is during the Death Star boardroom meeting, where everyone else is concerned about Rebels and physical matters, and Vader is just like "lol dudes nothing matters except the Force." The second is when he confronts Obi-Wan, and is like "Hey bro, we have a lot of unstated backstory together, isn't this cool? The audience can just sort of infer our emotions, and this would certainly be ruined if the story was told explicitly in a prequel." Vader's actual depth comes in ESB and RotJ. To quote RLM again, the first time we see Vader in a position of vulnerability is when we see the back of his head as the machine treats him for his wounds in ESB. Vader seems to be doing the same shtick throughout ESB that he did in ANH, but then twist, he's actually roiling with emotional turmoil as he fights his own son. All of his previous actions with Luke are now viewed under a different light, and he's not just a big angry guy anymore. How serious was he about overthrowing the Emperor and ruling together as father and son? I always thought he was being completely genuine with Luke. Like, I never once got the impression that Vader or Palpatine ever attempted to trick Luke. I love that one shot where Luke jumps down the abyss rather than join Vader, and Vader just looks down. Even though a helmet, you can feel Vader's disappointment. One of my favorite Star Wars moments is at the end of ESB. Vader has spent the whole movie killing underlines for failing him, and he ordered the Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive to be sabotaged. The Falcon jumps away, and all of Vader's minions are around him, clearly **ing their pants. Vader just looks away from the window, looks back one more time, and leaves the room without a word. As he does so, he passes a guy who's looking at like an ipad or something? And the guy keeps his eyes on the ipad as Vader passes by, then looks up frightened as Vader leaves. That scene tells you everything. Anyway, then we're in RotJ. Luke's like "hey dad, I can feel your conflict," and Vader's like "nuh-uh, let's have a swordfight to prove it," and sure enough, there's some conflict. There is a noticeable difference here between RotJ Vader and older Vader, though. He's less angry and threatening, and more resigned to his fate? It's fine, though. It adds depth to his character, it's fine. Anyway, yes, Darth Vader. Pretty much the best? C-3PO The "bumbling sidekick" to Artoo's "secretly competent sidekick," Treepio is the most annoying character in the OT, which is to say that he's not bad at all and is still a lot of fun. Like, the purpose he serves is fine, there's almost nothing to even say about him. The idea that he was built by Anakin is, of course, extremely ing stupid. The idea that Uncle Ben doesn't recognize him is even more stupid. The ST has even less idea what to do with Threepio. JJ Abrams must have really thought that "Threepio wipes his memory to help his friends" was a lot more dramatic than it really was. My actual favorite C-3PO moment is when he tells the story of the previous two movies to the Ewoks and does sound effects. It makes complete sense that he can do sound effects, so much so that I never even questioned it as a kid. Disco Chandelier Porn** I take back what I said about the Palpatine Fortnite event, this is the most mindboggling thing in Star Wars. Like, it's not even just a video of a sexy woman, it's clearly porn, and he reacts like it's porn. It's seven minutes of a sexy woman wearing half of a chandelier, but not actually doing porn-related things. Like, I would understand this if it was an abstract art piece about exploring the space between conceptual eroticism and the reality of pornography, but it's in the context of a **ing "wookies celebrate Christmas" video. --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.

Anagram 10/13/20 1:28:51 PM #102:	Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith From a technical competence perspective, yes, the Disney movies are vastly superior to the prequels. But the prequels have two advantages. The first is that they feel like a story an artist really wanted to tell. It really does feel like Lucas had this idea of a fallen hero story that he really wanted to tell, and he just didn't have the talent to do it, which gives the movies some level of soul that the Disney movies have a hard time replicating. The second advantage is memes. Holy mother of God, the memes. Everything in this movie is a meme. It's just so poorly made, so poorly acted, and so poorly written that everything is hilarious. I can just pick out any random line of dialogue and it's amazing how bad it is. Nothing makes any sense in this movie, Anakin's fall to the Dark Side happens in the time it takes me to write this sentence, and god, it's all just so wonderful. Do you remember that scene where Anakin and Obi-Wan just spin lightsabers around themselves for no reason? Remember when Palpatine says "It's treason, then," and spins around like a corkscrew toward a squid guy? This is The Room of science-fiction. I remember when this movie came out. Board 8 told me that it was great, that Lucas had really done it this time. I saw it with my friend David, fully expecting the movie to be great. I remember the exact line where I turned to David and said "Is this really bad?" (Padme talking about fixing up the baby's room) because I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was seventeen, and thought that no movie could possibly be this bad. I watched the movie a second time in theaters because I thought I'd somehow watched it wrong the first time. Board 8 specifically praised Samuel L. Jackson in the movie. God, you guys. So yeah! This movie is atrocious, but it's atrocious in a really fun, imaginative way that everyone should see. I fully acknowledge that the Disney movies are "better," but this is way more entertaining. By the way, people who claim that RotS is unironically better than RotJ are just... like, wrong. Irek Ismaren I just read the synopsis of this guy's life. This is just random dumb crap happening to a guy. The idea of a man becoming braindead and his mother desperately trying to restore him with computers is interesting, but the execution, god. Also, lightsaber elbows might be the dumbest thing ever. Also, his name sounds Armenian. Yaddle I hate her. She adds nothing and damages the mystery of Yoda's species. Hand of Thrawn Trilogy These are the only Star Wars books I've actually read. Comics, yes, but these are the only books. I'd heard about them when I was like nineteen, and was like "Sure, I'll give 'em a shot." I like the idea of a contrasting antagonist, who's not some kind of mystical magical guy, but is just a smart guy, who's smart but can still be outsmarted if you're clever enough. I remember the planet of guys who worship Darth Vader and join Leia because she's carrying Vader's grandchildren. For some reason, one thing that made an impression on me was the Katana fleet. The idea of identifying a lost fleet of ships based on their obscure upholstery was hilarious, and I completely approve. I remember the new rogue guy being a major character in the first two books, then the last book having nothing for him to do, so his plot just fizzles out. Everything about this series works. Many people commented that this should have been the new Star Wars trilogy, and they're right. Oh well! Pod Racer Video Game Watto Is Watto the most racist Star Wars character? It's got be either Watto, Jar-Jar, or Nute Gunray, right? It must be one of those three. ----------- Thunderous Applause Star Trek The Force Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope Darth Vader Death Star You're My Only Hope Yoda Han Solo Millennium Falcon Luke Skywalker R2-D2 Luke vs Vader Duel (Bespin) Mr. Plinkett Star Wars Reviews Hand of Thrawn Trilogy TIE Fighter A New Hope Poster Baby Yoda Star Wars Ep 1: Jedi Party Duel of the Fates The Force is Strong with This One Force Lightning Grand Moff Tarkin Jabba's Palace Sequence Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi C-3PO Headbonk Stormtrooper Spaceballs Lego Star Wars Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith Qui-Gon Jinn Jyn Erso Kyle Katarn Kettch Impressive, Most Impressive Ganner Rhysode Tag and Bink The Star Trek Wars Vua Rapuung Boba Fett Wedge Antilles Saw Gerrera Sand (Geology) Stay on Target Sand (Lifeform) Star Munchkin Titan Squadron Reylo Twilight of the Apprentice (Episode) Brain Invaders (Episode) Canto Bight Jaro Tapal Star Wars Trek I've Got a Bad Feeling About This Anakin Skywalker Kylo Ren's Lightsaber Star Wars, minus Episodes IV-VI Jacen Horn Corran Horn Kir Kanos Anagram Star Wars: Rogue One Savage Opress What a Piece of Junk Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace Rose Tico The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise Bomberman Hero Rey's Yellow Lightsaber Darth Jar-Jar Theory Irek Ismaren Wookiepedia Tree Article Pod Racer Video Game Watto r/prequelmemes Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones Arb Skynxnex Yaddle A Pathway to Many Abilities Some Would Consider to be Unnatural Palpatine Fornite Event Disco Chandelier Porn Disney Buyout Ewoks (Cartoon) Midichlorians --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.

Anagram 10/13/20 7:09:19 PM #122:	Zam Wessel Congratulations on being the first film character I had to look up. This is maybe the most nothing character with a name in the entire PT. Does she have a personality or motives? I don't know. She's notable mainly for being part of the most confusing assassination plotline in movie history. Holdo Maneuver Right after watching TLJ, I went to a Barnes and Noble. I was working at a table in the Starbucks when I overheard a barista talking to another barista. She said "sure, it made no sense, but it was the best part of the entire movie," and I instantly knew she was talking about this. She was right on both accounts. This makes no sense, but it's the only visually interesting thing in the entire movie. For a few seconds, the movie was, if nothing else, visually stimulating. The reference to it in TRoS is comical, by the way. "Let's use a Holdo Maneuver," says Merry from Lord of the Rings. "No," says Poe, "We can't do that," and there's just no more explanation. Hand Amputations No joke, in a college English class, I once wrote an essay analyzing ugliness in Star Wars, and used Luke's hand amputation as a citation, saying that becoming physically scarred reflects his internal scarring from the Dark Side, or something like that. Look, what do you want me to say? What can you even do with a sword besides cut things? Lightsabers The absolute defining sci-fi weapon (sorry, phasers). Lightsabers are the single coolest thing of all time. My sister, who once called Han Solo "that Star guy," knows what a lightsaber is. There's almost nothing I can even say about them. The perfect simplicity of the idea, the stark contrast of blue vs red to show good vs evil, it's all so masterfully done. Jar-Jar Binks I was like 21 when I realized that Jar-Jar is the only character in PM with a character arc. He's the only person who learns anything or who improves in any way. In a very real way, Jar-Jar is the main character of PM. Look, we all know that Jar-Jar is the most annoying character of all time. He's somehow even worse in AotC, when he becomes at least partly responsible for Palpatine taking over the universe. Like, come on, man.

Anagram 10/13/20 7:10:41 PM #123:	Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens I wonder how much of this was Disney, and how much was JJ Abrams. Who said the words "Let's just remake ANH?" Hell, I don't even want to talk about the Empire, Rebels, and Death Star (I refuse to use the new names they gave them in an attempt to pretend they're not just the Empire, Rebels, and Death Star). The obvious point of comparison here is Star Trek 09, which JJ Abrams also directed. The main difference is that Abrams decided to insert his infamous "mystery boxes" into this movie. I don't want to talk about how they played out yet, because I know someone is going to nominate The Last Jedi, but suffice it to say that it was a big mistake. Like, the very obvious progression from RotJ is to have the Republic have a new enemy, probably based on the Soviet Union, right? Where you have a less morally evil opponent, and Luke and the Jedi are like "mmmm we don't know if can interfere here," and Leia gets annoyed because she's trying to run a space empire and needs their help. Nope! More Space Nazis. I appreciate that JJ Abrams wanted to introduce a bunch of terrible new characters (we'll get to that later, when people inevitably nominate them), so I guess there was no other option except to soft reboot the franchise. And god, does anyone actually like the sequence where Poe fights the Death Star? Surely the answer is no, right? Look, to be clear: this movie is fine. It holds the extremely dubious title of fourth best numbered Star Wars movie (fifth best if you allow RotS as fourth as an ironic meme entry). But it has zero creativity or originality in it, and the lack of planning for later movies did more harm to the franchise than George Lucas ever could. Finn I was hoping no one would nominate Finn, because now I have to talk about John Boyega. Talking about Finn only, I think he's the most mismanaged character in the ST. The idea of "I'm a normal Gestapo guy, oh man I just realized we're the bad guys, now I feel like I have to defect and do good" is solid. Finn's arc in the first movie is... acceptable. It's not perfect, but he has the most interesting premise of the main cast. But it's clear that the later movies just had no idea what to do with him. He goes to a casino planet, he teams up with a girl who may????? be in love with him, he's dedicated to his "friend" Rey, but not really his "friend" Poe, it's all very nebulous. Finn stagnates as a character in a way that Rey and even Poe don't. The way you write Finn is obvious. He defects in the first movie, you have some older Rebel guy say I DON'T TRUST HIM RARGH THROW HIM IN PRISON, but the Rebels accept him anyway. In the second movie, Finn inspires some other Stormtroopers to join him, and they all go to the Rebels, and this saves the day somehow, and the Rebel guy goes "I was wrong about you, son," and clasps his shoulder. In the third movie, Finn gets promoted to general, and he leads the normal people in the Rebellion in the final battle while Rey does mystical Jedi stuff. Boom, completed character arc, great. No. The reason I didn't want to talk about Boyega is that he made a lot of damning claims against Disney about his character being mismanaged because he's black, and I think he's kind of right? To be clear, I think everyone was mismanaged, but Finn was the most mismanaged, and it's definitely due to his relationship with Rey and his ambiguous Force sensitivity. I think JJ Abrams maybe planned for Finn and Rey to be a couple, but that got sidelined, which just leaves their relationship incredibly bizarre. It doesn't matter for Rey because she has all of her mystical Jedi crap to focus on, but for Finn, like, tell me what Finn's motives are in the latter two movies. Tell me his relationship exactly to Rey. I have no idea. Did their relationship get sidelined because he was black? I don't know for sure, but Boyega clearly thinks so. As for Finn as a Jedi, it's very clear that JJ Abrams planned for Finn to be a Jedi. He uses a lightsaber in TFA, he senses Rey in TRoS, etc. But Rian Johnson completely ignores all of that in TLJ and has Finn go on an unrelated casino adventure, and then there was just no time left to explore this aspect of his character in the last movie because so little had been done with him in the previous movie that he effectively became just another pair of hands. Although, even then, this is still partly JJ Abrams' fault for introducing yet more characters to eat up screen time, including Lando's maybe???? daughter. I like Finn in concept, but the execution is so mismanaged that I have to give a bad grade, sorry. Sheev Palpatine Anyone who defends Disney trashing the EU so it could create its own EU should only be responded to with "Sheev," which is Palpatine's new canon first name. Palpatine is probably my favorite character in the franchise. He's just so **ing silly. Like, he's built up to for two movies and the first half of RotJ. Everyone s their pants at his mere mention. Luke is brought into this giant throne room, everything is black and stark and evil-looking, and the throne turns around to reveal a white figure wearing dark robes... And then Palpatine is just the silliest er of all time. He laughs, he claps his hands together, he looks like he's orgasming at the sheer thought of evil. He's the only character who comes out of the PT unscathed, just because he has the unfair advantage that he benefits from bad acting. Everyone else is running around being acted by terrible, directionless actors, but Palpatine is just giggling and having a great time spinning around and talking in a deep voice. When Yoda throws him over his desk and he smacks into his chair, that's like the best moment ever. He's a guy who's just become so one with the Dark Side of the Force that nothing matters except orgasming over evilness itself. Hell, even though Palpatine returning in TRoS is stupid, he's still the best part of the movie. Having a bunch of quasi-mystical robed guys in a giant evil room while Palpatine is hooked into this weird chair where he somehow survived being exploded twice (???) chanting and Palpatine narrates what he wants Rey to do... I think it's impossible to screw up Palpatine. He's just so silly. --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.

It's a mildly clever way to resolve Mara Jade's neural programming thing where she has to kill Luke, so she instead kills the clone. Death Star II Assault I criticized TFA for just reusing old ideas, but boy oh boy, George Lucas is not innocent, either. The idea of another Death Star is really pushing it. At least he had the decency to make the Rebel fleet like a large fleet of powerful ships rather than fighter jets, so it's not quite the same thing visually. And we go through the innards of the incomplete Death Star, yeah. It's fine, but there should have been something new.

Yarael Poof The second I looked him up on Google, I closed the tab. You could have just said "long neck guy," because that's all he is. He serves perfectly well as a weird alien who shows up in the Jedi Council scenes. He has no actual personality, but his mere presence implies a greater galaxy of weird aliens. Perfectly fine.

He's just Han's sasquatch buddy who roars a lot and sometimes laughs in a funny way. Everyone likes Chewbacca because there's nothing to really dislike. I guess Chewbacca met Yoda in RotS, right? And Han can understand him? Do you think that after Han told Luke the Force isn't real, Chewbacca took Han aside and said "No, Han, I met Yoda twenty years ago. He was a Jedi, and we fought alongside each other against clone troopers. The Jedi were absolutely real, you need to open up a history book."

Anagram 10/13/20 11:38:24 PM #135:	Luuuke Skywalker I'm honestly a little surprised we never got Luuuuke. Mos Eisley Cantina Brilliant. This establishes that this world isn't a clean sci-fi future like Star Trek or something, it's a grimy, gross universe full of dangerous people. There are normal booths to sit in with stucco walls behind them, there's a dirty bar with a racist bartender, gross aliens with anteater snouts playing the flute, for some reason Satan is there, and no one bats an eye when you chop off a guy's arm or shoot a man in cold blood. It's so, so good. Hell, I can hear the theme song in my mind right now. By the way, do you know the name of that song? I literally cannot post it on GameFAQs thanks to the censor, just google it if you don't know. I'm Han Solo (Star Wars Kinect) I rewatched the video for this topic. I really like how Lobot is the DJ, and how Han enters the arena with a little cocky nod. Lando takes over halfway through and immediately starts thrusting in the air. This was the final big Star Wars thing to come out pre-Disney buyout, you know. I remember when it came out, people treated it like it was the ultimate betrayal of fans, and I was just like... have you people seen literally any Star Wars thing since 1983? Star Wars isn't the selloutingest series of all time (that's TMNT), but it's damn close. Obi-Wan Kenobi The ultimate mentor figure of moviedom, to the point where TVTropes article for mentors used to be call the Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan works great as Anakin's mentor and as the last Jedi who must train Luke (never mind about Yoda), but as a character unto himself, he's... fine. He serves a very specific purpose as a bygone relic of another time, the wizard who lives in a world of technology, the guru who can use the Force, but is still at least partly connected to the physical world. He is the gateway to a new world for Luke more than he is a real character, which is curious, because he has the only actor in the entire franchise who's actually competent. Sir Alec Guinness is the only person in the entire franchise who never completely embarrasses himself. There are a whole bunch of moments with Obi-Wan where you can tell what he's thinking based on Alec Guinness' performance, which gives the character a subtlety that he probably doesn't deserve.

Mos Eisley Cantina Brilliant. This establishes that this world isn't a clean sci-fi future like Star Trek or something, it's a grimy, gross universe full of dangerous people. There are normal booths to sit in with stucco walls behind them, there's a dirty bar with a racist bartender, gross aliens with anteater snouts playing the flute, for some reason Satan is there, and no one bats an eye when you chop off a guy's arm or shoot a man in cold blood. It's so, so good. Hell, I can hear the theme song in my mind right now. By the way, do you know the name of that song? I literally cannot post it on GameFAQs thanks to the censor, just google it if you don't know. I'm Han Solo (Star Wars Kinect) I rewatched the video for this topic. I really like how Lobot is the DJ, and how Han enters the arena with a little cocky nod. Lando takes over halfway through and immediately starts thrusting in the air. This was the final big Star Wars thing to come out pre-Disney buyout, you know. I remember when it came out, people treated it like it was the ultimate betrayal of fans, and I was just like... have you people seen literally any Star Wars thing since 1983? Star Wars isn't the selloutingest series of all time (that's TMNT), but it's damn close. Obi-Wan Kenobi The ultimate mentor figure of moviedom, to the point where TVTropes article for mentors used to be call the Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan works great as Anakin's mentor and as the last Jedi who must train Luke (never mind about Yoda), but as a character unto himself, he's... fine. He serves a very specific purpose as a bygone relic of another time, the wizard who lives in a world of technology, the guru who can use the Force, but is still at least partly connected to the physical world. He is the gateway to a new world for Luke more than he is a real character, which is curious, because he has the only actor in the entire franchise who's actually competent. Sir Alec Guinness is the only person in the entire franchise who never completely embarrasses himself. There are a whole bunch of moments with Obi-Wan where you can tell what he's thinking based on Alec Guinness' performance, which gives the character a subtlety that he probably doesn't deserve.

Anagram 10/13/20 11:38:27 PM #136:	Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi This is probably the hardest movie to talk about. Everything else, you can easily point to what makes them good or bad, the good decisions and the poor ones. But TLJ is a different story. I wonder how this got made. How did Disney approve Rian Johnson's idea to subvert everything that makes Star Wars what it is? That's not only a ballsy decision for a company that takes everything so safe, it's also incredibly stupid. Why would you not have a plan for the trilogy before you start filming the first one? The main thing about this movie is that Rian Johnson takes all of JJ Abrams' mystery boxes and poops inside of them. Rey's heritage? She's no one. Kylo's redemption? Nope, he's completely evil. Snoke's backstory? Doesn't matter. Why did Luke sequester himself? Shut up. Finn and Rose have a random pointless adventure, Poe ruins everything (though to be fair, it's really Holdo's fault for having such a stupid plan), Leia has a terrible CGI Force-in-space scene then does nothing for the rest of the movie, etc. I can imagine Rian Johnson taking JJ Abrams' mystery boxes and just not wanting to go in the obvious direction with all of them, wanting to put his own twist on them. And yeah, okay, this movie is probably a little smarter than the other Star Wars movies. But the result of his actions is that the series was left completely directionless. The only thing in this movie I actually thought was interesting was Rey's parents being unimportant nobodies, and we all know where that went. This and Phantom Menace are the least important movies in the series. JJ Abrams just retcons or ignores everything in this movie, so the only events that matter are Rey gaining a psychic connection to Kylo and Luke dying. God, remember when Luke shows up in TRoS and immediately contradicts himself from TLJ, where he's like THIS LIGHTSABER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT OBJECT IN THE UNIVERSE BROOOOO. I have no idea how Disney approved any of this. We all like to imagine there's an army of like guys in business suits in a boardroom trying to homogenize all movies for mass appeal, but then something like this slips through the cracks and you just end up wondering if Disney was just really, really, really lucky in the past. George R. Binks I can't believe this even exists. No one cares about Jar-Jar's backstory. It's inconceivable that no one ever published a book about Jar-Jar dying, in fact.

Anagram 10/14/20 11:56:26 AM #149:	It's a Trap Everyone loves this line. Its appeal goes beyond the fact that Ackbar is shouting something obvious, it's also the way the camera zooms in on him as he swooshes in his chair and opens his mouth in a silly way. And then there's the line itself. Like most good memes, it's short and to the point. My favorite experience with this meme was when I went to a Starbucks to get something for my sister, and someone had drawn Ackbar on the window screaming IT'S A FRAP. Order 66 This is a hard one to rank. Of course, it's silly that it's named Order 66, which is just an inherently silly number. That was a complete mistake. But this is like the only time in the PT where the execution is stronger than the premise. It's actually kind of sad when the music swells sadly and you see forehead guy being completely perplexed as he's betrayed, and Aayla Secura be shot in the back without a word. Like, it's stupid, but unlike basically everything else in RotS, it's capable of producing a slight emotion besides laughter and contempt. Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker I don't think anyone is satisfied with this movie. I guess I'll say this for Abrams, I don't think anyone could have actually made this movie good. He's partly responsible for the mess, but it's not completely his fault. Part of this movie is dedicated to walking back on everything TLJ did, another part is dedicated to introducing pointless new characters (Art Deco Helmet Lady and Horse Girl), and zero percent of the movie is dedicated to making sense. Is this is the most nonsensical, "don't think about it" Star Wars movie? I think it might be. I can imagine that after TLJ, Abrams was like "who do I have be the villain?" I mean, honestly, I think the idea of a directionless empire collapsing in on itself without strong political leadership and threatening to engulf the galaxy in a pointless civil war, and our heroes having to stop that somehow, is an interesting concept, but Abrams apparently disagreed. But the return of Palpatine is comical. It's brushed over in one line that's so awful it became the ST's only proper meme ("Sigh... Somehow... Palpatine returned..."), and then there are other one-liners that exist to briefly fill in plot holes ("Dark alchemy, cloning, secrets only the Sith knew," "Let's use a Holdo Maneuver"). You could forgive all of that if the movie had really strong writing, but it's clear that Abrams just had zero idea of what to do with any character except Kylo Ren. Finn is floundering the entire movie for something to do. Remember that line when he's in quicksand, and he tells Rey that he always wanted to tell her something, and then the next scene just forgets about it? Everyone assumed that he was going to declare his love for her and the director just forgot to remove the line when the plotline was chopped. No! John Boyega revealed that Finn was going to say that he thought he was also Force-sensitive. Like, that's going to be your last words alive, bro? It's even worse for Poe. Poe's contribution to this movie is being the general in charge of the Rebel forces because Carrie Fisher randomly died between movies (let's not even talk about her comically stitched-together scenes with Rey) and losing hope at the end before Lando arrives with reinforcements. Lando! Where the hell did they dredge Billie Dee Williams up from? Did they do it just because they stupidly killed all the other main characters? And what the hell is with the scene where he talks to the one black woman in the galaxy, who of course is secretly his daughter? Completely impossible to explain. This movie is such a mess. By the way, Daisy Ridley also revealed that they weren't sure what Rey's parentage was while filming the start of the movie. This movie just rings so hollow. It's just such a going-through-the-motions affair. None of the scenes that are meant to be important actually mean anything. Like, why does Rey adopt Luke's name at the end and take over his uncle's farm? Ignoring all in-story logic about that, what is that supposed to mean, thematically? That she's following in Luke's footsteps as a guy who retires young and stops helping the galaxy? ** off with that, JJ Abrams. I forgot to mention this in the TFA and TLJ write-ups, so I'll do it now. Modern humor does not fit in Star Wars. That scene where Poe asks Kylo "Who talks first?" does not fit in Star Wars. TLJ opens with a literal "Yo momma" joke, and that doubly doesn't fit in Star Wars. And TRoS has that "They fly now" scene. It's so, so unfitting. To steal yet another line from RLM, this movie just felt like an obligation. Like we saw the previous movies, so we have to see this one, too. Emotionally, I thought I was completely over Star Wars and would never watch another SW thing ever again after this movie. I was wrong, but that's a story for another time. DID YOU SEE THAT IT WAS A VERY CLEVER CALLBACK TO JJ ABRAMS. Jar Jar's Ultimate Fate Completely unrealistic, even children don't like Jar-Jar. In all seriousness, did Lucas put down a rule that no one is allowed to kill him? Yoda (Song) I'm not a Weird Al aficionado, but I think this is one of his weaker songs. He's mostly just chanting Yoda's name and occasionally very briefly mentioning something that happened in the movies. YouTube agrees with me, since this video has 6 million views and The Saga Begins has 36 million views. Battle of Hoth A great idea. ANH ends with a space battle, so ESB begins with a land battle. Now we get to see how the Empire conducts wars when on the ground, which is something we've never seen before. It's so easy to imagine someone getting lazy and just having like a million Stormtroopers attack with no artillery support, but instead we get the lovable AT-ATs, Luke and Wedge get to do more fighter jet stuff, it's all great, but there's really not much to actually say about it. It is what it is. The Client (Character) A great minor character. When he was introduced, I was like "what the hell, is that Werner Herzog?" I was shocked when he died so ignobly, I thought he'd be more important, which is obviously the point. Star Wars Holiday Special I don't blame Lucas for trying to bury this one. It's incredibly strange that it exists at all. Like, making a Star Wars Christmas Special makes sense, I get it. But who said "let's make it a variety show with an overarching plot?" Who said "let's have it star Wookies, who we can't understand and will make constant horrible noises?" Then you have the skits themselves, which dear God, there's the one with the multi-armed person cooking, there are... It's just completely inexplicable. It's not even fun to watch! I've seen it, and trust me, this isn't a so-bad-it's-good thing. It's just ing unbearable. The Saga Begins (Song) I remember this song as a kid. Man, Weird Al has been active forever, huh? Anyway, I had a friend who had a copy of it on cassette tape (he might've gotten it illegal, I don't know), and he kept playing it all the time when I was over at his house. Watching this video is just a giant ing nostalgia bomb. I'd never noticed before how the drummer's drumsticks are little lightsabers. This is one of Weird Al's best outings, even though it's basically just reciting the plot of PM. I really like how we teleport to the Mos Eisley Cantina partway through, and they really go all-out with having a bunch of aliens and people in weird Star Wars hats in the background, when that must have been really expensive. --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.

It's just such a going-through-the-motions affair. None of the scenes that are meant to be important actually mean anything. Like, why does Rey adopt Luke's name at the end and take over his uncle's farm? Ignoring all in-story logic about that, what is that supposed to mean, thematically? That she's following in Luke's footsteps as a guy who retires young and stops helping the galaxy? off with that, JJ Abrams. I forgot to mention this in the TFA and TLJ write-ups, so I'll do it now. Modern humor does not fit in Star Wars. That scene where Poe asks Kylo "Who talks first?" does not fit in Star Wars. TLJ opens with a literal "Yo momma" joke, and that doubly doesn't fit in Star Wars. And TRoS has that "They fly now" scene. It's so, so unfitting. To steal yet another line from RLM, this movie just felt like an obligation. Like we saw the previous movies, so we have to see this one, too. Emotionally, I thought I was completely over Star Wars and would never watch another SW thing ever again after this movie. I was wrong, but that's a story for another time. DID YOU SEE THAT IT WAS A VERY CLEVER CALLBACK TO JJ ABRAMS. Jar Jar's Ultimate Fate Completely unrealistic, even children don't like Jar-Jar. In all seriousness, did Lucas put down a rule that no one is allowed to kill him? Yoda (Song) I'm not a Weird Al aficionado, but I think this is one of his weaker songs. He's mostly just chanting Yoda's name and occasionally very briefly mentioning something that happened in the movies. YouTube agrees with me, since this video has 6 million views and The Saga Begins has 36 million views. Battle of Hoth A great idea. ANH ends with a space battle, so ESB begins with a land battle. Now we get to see how the Empire conducts wars when on the ground, which is something we've never seen before. It's so easy to imagine someone getting lazy and just having like a million Stormtroopers attack with no artillery support, but instead we get the lovable AT-ATs, Luke and Wedge get to do more fighter jet stuff, it's all great, but there's really not much to actually say about it. It is what it is. The Client (Character) A great minor character. When he was introduced, I was like "what the hell, is that Werner Herzog?" I was shocked when he died so ignobly, I thought he'd be more important, which is obviously the point. Star Wars Holiday Special I don't blame Lucas for trying to bury this one. It's incredibly strange that it exists at all. Like, making a Star Wars Christmas Special makes sense, I get it. But who said "let's make it a variety show with an overarching plot?" Who said "let's have it star Wookies, who we can't understand and will make constant horrible noises?" Then you have the skits themselves, which dear God, there's the one with the multi-armed person cooking, there are... It's just completely inexplicable. It's not even fun to watch! I've seen it, and trust me, this isn't a so-bad-it's-good thing. It's just ing unbearable. The Saga Begins (Song) I remember this song as a kid. Man, Weird Al has been active forever, huh? Anyway, I had a friend who had a copy of it on cassette tape (he might've gotten it illegal, I don't know), and he kept playing it all the time when I was over at his house. Watching this video is just a giant **ing nostalgia bomb. I'd never noticed before how the drummer's drumsticks are little lightsabers. This is one of Weird Al's best outings, even though it's basically just reciting the plot of PM. I really like how we teleport to the Mos Eisley Cantina partway through, and they really go all-out with having a bunch of aliens and people in weird Star Wars hats in the background, when that must have been really expensive. </quote> ...
