Rise of Skywalker: The Seen It/Spoilers Thread

Not the OT TIE/ln that Kylo flew from the Death Star wreckage to Exowhatsis!

Clearly it does. It’s been 30 years!

Thanks. I guess I follow. So all the chanting hooded folks Palps kept referring to a Sith were not Sith then?

I think they were cultists, not Force Users. Like, followers of Palpatine and the Sith. Not everyone can be a force user.

That is a good point. They should've put him in a Lamda-class shuttle - but then you wouldn't get the iconography of him parking his OT TIE Fighter next to Luke's OT X-Wing.

It’s the new model. He’s not driving an antique.

Yes, he was. He was stranded on the Death Star without a ride. The idea was that he'd salvaged it from the wreckage.

What I liked a lot, in retrospect, is the whole "thousands of years of Jedi/Sith" thing. The Jedi and Sith get to have their big destined blowout, and then both die.

The Jedi and the Sith both die with the Palpatine line. Balance brought to the Force. When Rey is brought back to life through Ben's sacrifice, the Skywalker line, completely engineered by Palpatine, also comes to an end.

Rey honors her teachers (and Kylo was definitely a teacher for Rey) by carrying on their name, but the most significant piece for me is that she's abandoning her true heritage. But not she gets to help usher in a whole new era for the Force.

Huh. Are you sure? How did he get there? I thought that was the ship he flew there in.

I don't think there were First Order upgrade crews on Endor putting hyperdrives in 30-year old fighters. As MarkB points out ... he grabbed an antique from the wreckage to fly home. It's clearly an original model in the shot side-by-side with Luke's T-65, not a First Order TIE.

He flew there in the FO Interceptor that Rey stole when she left.

Ah. Gotcha. You’re right!
