Rise of Skywalker: The Seen It/Spoilers Thread

[pukunui]

I think Palpatine said something about his son near the end.

They basically skipped over the details of Palpatines family.

OK. I'm sure I'll see it again, so I'll make sure to listen out for that bit.

And yes, they did skip over the details. I imagine Disney will include them in a novel or something at some point.

Yeah they'll make some novels or comics. I got a Lando plus daughter spin off vibe.

Huh?

Fair enough. One of my girls thought at first that it was white like Ahsoka's Rebels-era lightsabers.

Yeah, I know. They go way back. I think the first one I saw was Bastila Shan's double-bladed yellow lightsaber (from KotOR). But those are all relegated to the non-canon Legends now. In terms of canon, we just had the Jedi Temple Guards' lightsabers from Rebels as precedent.

Yeah, I think you missed the point there. That ALL yellow lightsabers are fan service aimed at the original fans.

If they wanted to do that purple.

Always found yellow ones boring. And orange.

I'd like to see some spinoff movies (or TV series) on the continuing adventures of Finn, Poe and Rey. Those three have some fun chemistry, and it would be fun to watch them continue to develop their characters. (And to see Rey wield her yellow lightsaber.)

OK.

Didn't get any vibe about yellow lightsaber one way or another. Not to many people have seen Rebels and KoToR would be the other place to see them.

I'm not a big fan as they look a bit washed out.

 

[Morrus]

Pfft. Yellow Lightsabers have been part of Star Wars far longer than they've been actual SW cannon.

In Attack of the Clones where all the Jedi were in the arena, there were lightsabers of most every color. Including Mace Windu's purple one. They're definitely canon.

Apologies for sidetracking the thread with a discussion of lightsaber colours.

What do people think of Snoke being a clone created by Palpatine? Why do you suppose Palpatine cloned him? Some reviewers have suggested that Palpatine was controlling Snoke but I disagree with that assessment. I suppose Snoke was a useful proxy for Palpatine until he was ready to reveal himself again. He clearly wasn’t a Sith, even if he was a super-powerful Force user.

I would also argue that Palpatine couldn’t have been directly controlling Snoke or else he would’ve known about Rey and Kylo’s Force bond. He doesn’t know about it until the two of them are standing together in front of him, which is when he switches his plan from having Rey kill him to sucking their life force to regenerate himself.

Palpatine as Force lich was a cool move, in my opinion.

 

[Zardnaar]

They're all green and blue. Apart from Mace's.

A couple are a bit washed out and kinda look yellow.

Who's been complaining about yellow lightsabers? Seems silly lol.

Smokes thing was basically retconning TLJ.
They never really explained Palpatine either.

I think they tried to imply Snoke was a puppet. And Palps return was "clones and Sith magic".

It's something that falls into the don't think about it to much Michael Bay/JJ Abrams line of film making. There's nothing stopping Snoke or the Emperor returning again either.

They can always make a new movie with another secret facility with more clones.

I haven't seen it yet, but I like the idea of a clone and force lich, I think that's pretty cool actually. They said it was their idea all along, but I feel like it was something they slapped in it to fix what Rian Johnson did in Last Jedi and course correct. And yeah, if they left it as vague as they did, I guess the Emperor can keep coming back over and over. Rey didn't smash his PHYLACTERY did she?
