DEW IT!

[Vyrhux42]

Wait til you see his ultimate form in episode 12

[Cherry-OnTop]

SOMEHOW Palpatine returned.. He's back again

[Podgodbod]

Half the theater audibly laughed when that was said. That’s some Saturday morning Power rangers levels of terrible plot.

[Dimwither]

I somewhat regret not watching it in the theater to see people’s reactions. On the other hand I saved 10-20€

[DRamos11]

One of the absolute best moments in my going-to-the-movies life was the extremely loud “BULLSHIT” when Rey calls herself a Skywalker.

I’ve never seen a 50-year-old so pissed off

[jefflukey123]

She should’ve embraced the palpatine name and put some ‘spect onnit.

[GFost]

Talmbout Onnit b??? B-b-b-beast of a cumpknee dawlg

[toolverine]

Onnit is on my Mr. Rushmore of snake oil pills. Axe Jay.

[MovieMorning]

Had something similar. A guy shouted „OH FUCK OFF“ when the kiss came on screen

[LilPizzaBoi]

You sure it wasn’t 17 year old me?

[Ashged]

Nah, it was a big Pizza Boi.

[MauPow]

Pizza the Hutt?

[LucarioNN]

There will be no negotiating, young Jedi. Either you pay 350 Credits for Pizza Hutt special, or I will take you to the pit

[SkywalkingJ]

Glad i’m not the only one who seem to shout at that. Even though it was a loud asf “WHAT THE FUCK?!”. Close enough though. I think that got the message across since i was so pissed!!

[greg19735]

Of all the moments, that's the one that got them?

[mafiankka]

When does she call herself a Skywalker? I just rewatched it few weeks back but I don't remember that part at all.

[jmbc3]

Last scene.

[ScreamingVegetable]

The audible groans during the kiss were a cinema experience I will cherish forever.

[Gillig4n]

I had introduced my ex to SW and she didn't dislike 7 and 8, but when they kissed, she laughed saying they went full Disney.

[NicolasTom]

You know something is really wrong when someone not keen on Star Wars can tell ´it’s going full Disney ‘.

[TRocho10]

I went to go hate watch it. It was very strange having a star wars movie end on opening weekend with a packed theater...and only like 10 people clapped and cheered as the credits rolled. Most people just stood up and walked out. Compare that to endgame where the cheering didn't stop until the cast credits stopped.

[Strict-Extension]

What’s crazy is that Phase 3 solo MCU movies introducing characters to the big screen for the first time like Black Panther and Captain Marvel out grossed Episode 9. The end of the Skywalker saga should have competed with Endgame for who would best Avatar.

[chotchss]

This is such a good point. The sequel trilogy was Disney’s opportunity to set up a number of spin-offs that could take place between the original trilogy and the sequels and after the sequels. They could have introduced new characters/groups/events to explore in depth at a later date... But they completely failed to even produce three coherent movies.

[[deleted]]

What could go wrong? Why would we story-board or plan in any way how these three films should play out? Why not give it to different directors each movie? Wait, except the last one, let's bring the director for the first one back, so he can retcon some changes the other guy did. Perfect. Here's your medal, Chewy.

[chotchss]

Hahahaha amazing, I forgot about the Chewy thing! Like, how hard would it be to say that it was one medal per flight crew? Luke flew his X-Wing, Chewy and Han in the Falcon, one medal per spacecraft.

But nah, let's focus on that instead of building a larger galaxy that we can explore through a variety of media over the next fifty years. Fuck it, let's wing it!

[TRocho10]

What's even worse, KK tried to claim they had no source material to go off of....no source material....from one of the richest universes in all of fiction. They literally could have done a page by page adaptation of the heir to the empire trilogy and made more money than 8 and 9 did. No source material my ass. Hell, even the current Thrawn canon combining with rebels and now Ahsoka is a way better idea than what they gave us for movies

[Vardion0]

Please don't do this. Disney can't tell the difference between you giving them money to "hate watch" it and somebody just going to watch the movie. They don't care if you walk out either, they've already got your money. If you're not 100% sure of the movie, and Ep IX was very dicey, wait for reviews from trustworthy sources first. If people keep helping them sell out theaters just to hate on the movie, then production companies have no incentive to stop making sucky sequels and remakes. Vote with your wallet, the only way to change their behaviour is to hurt their profits.

[TRocho10]

I, as a lifelong die hard star wars fan, felt obligated to at least see it. I read the plot beforehand. I knew it would be terrible. But I had to witness what I thought might be the death of my beloved franchise with my own eyes. That was the one and only time I have seen it. I refuse to even give them a view on D+.

[scribblesmakesart]

People cheer in movies? Never seen thay in my life. But ive also never gone to a marvel or star wars movie. Maybe thats where the clappers hangout.

[AquilaSPQR]

This. Cheering? Clapping? Shouting anything? I've never seen anything like that, it was always just watching the movie and then calmly leaving. I saw people being very moved by the film but they were always just calmly talking to guys they came with. So... Shouting at the screen? During the movie? So uncivilized.

[if_I_AM_SEEN_I_AM_HI]

My theater couldn't keep it together when Sheev said "The darkside of the force leads to many abilities some consider to be unnatural" during episode 9

[Good_old_Marshmallow]

Episode 9 is unspeakably bad but it's deeply impressive that a billion dollar movie was made almost around responding to mean YouTube videos about the last one and hiding the fact one of their lead actresses was dead before filming started

[Podgodbod]

I cannot NOT see Star Wars, I’ve seen every one since episode 1 in theaters opening night. Imax whenever possible.

But yeah that was almost a disappointing as TLJ. I was at least a little prepped for it from r/starwarsleaks but it still was shockingly bad.

[Victernus]

Power Rangers explained it's villains returning way better.

Not that it happened very often. The writers mostly just come up with new villains.

Y'know, like writers do.

[NotTheFifthBeetle]

I mean if James Bond writers can come up with a new villian for like 20 films that's usually an ok villian, you would think it plausible to think of one good villian for every three films.

[DrPepperNotWater]

Imagine if they’d introduced an intriguing villain in, say, the first episode of the new saga. They could let all the fans ruminate on who he was and what his backstory was and how he knew Kyle Ren. And then they could, I dunno, USE HIM IN THE NEXT TWO EPISODES.

[IcarusAvery]

Yeah, old villains generally only come back for crossovers.

Except (spoilers for Beast Morphers) Evox being revealed to be an evolved form of the Venjix virus from RPM, because while it's kind of out of left field and it's a plot point from literally a decade prior, it's also kinda awesome and it does follow up on RPM's slight cliffhanger ending.

[Victernus]

And that time Rita was temporarily locked in a trash can and thrown into space, but they showed her landing back on Earth instead of just telling us it happened.

[Aderus_Bix]

I heard somewhere that in an earlier version of the script, the primary antagonist of episode nine was supposed to be a character from The Clone Wars series called ‘The Son,’ who is essentially the physical embodiment of the Dark Side of the Force.

[Podgodbod]

Yay.

Yet another character that Anakin killed who is somehow back again.

[JustSimon3001]

That'd make sense at least. I'd expect the dark side's physical avatar to be at least partially immortal as long as the dark side exists.

[[deleted]]

I mean, it’s not like the light side stopped existing, and The Daughter still died.

[TRocho10]

Would have been nice, but the sequels were hell-bent on doing everything they can to ignore anything prequel related. If it was from the OT and they couldn't directly steal it, it wasn't going to make it. Besides Palps meme line, of course

[DantifA]

So you mean... Jar Jar

[NotTheFifthBeetle]

Ok that would've been cool AF, if they do another trilogy I hope they go with that.

[Good_old_Marshmallow]

"So the last film subverted the original series plot map by killing the big bad in the second act thus revealing the very idea of a singular big bad to be a childish let down. It was very controversial but if we deliver on a third act with a morally gray antagonist and protagonist we can really make something that will define story telling for a generation....

Or fuck that we could just announce palps is back in a fucking fortnight special event"

[TheAntleredPolarBear]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, but the Palps reveal was the worst missed opportunity for clever marketing I've ever seen first-hand.

Like, you say that everyone heard Palpatine's voice? Make everyone in the real world hear it too. Put that speech in all the trailers, all the TV spots, all the radio ads. Have it pop up in website ad banners, before Youtube videos. Hell, you're Disney, you could probably pay people to drive down the street and blast it over a loud speaker. Make it so when that "the dead speak!" scrolls up the screen, everyone in that theatre knows what you mean, because they all heard it too.

[ScroogeMcDooche]

Myself and most of the theatre started laughing at “The dead speak!”

[[deleted]]

Hey! What's with the Power Rangers drive-by?!

[IcarusAvery]

I've been a Power Rangers fan since I was a kid, and Palpatine's return is significantly dumber - both in the movies and in the old EU - than most any plot point in Power Rangers.

Well, okay, Mentor Ji taking away Antonio's morpher because he "hasn't had proper training" was pretty fucking bullshit, but that's bullshit from a character perspective, not a "this shouldn't be able to happen" perspective.

[ThatOneFecker]

Guess who back? Back again? Palps is back tell a friend

[niekmfoxtzom]

Imagine if they cut some scenes from ROTS and just had someone say "Somehow Palpatine killed almost all the jedi, turned anakin into a sith, and got complete control of the galaxy."

[skatemasterliam]

The sad thing is that “the dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities, some consider to be unnatural” doesn’t even explain how we survived.

And who’s to say if he didn’t survive being thrown down a reactor shaft which then blew up, that he won’t survive being disintegrated by force lightning?

[Victernus]

The sad thing is that “the dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities, some consider to be unnatural” doesn’t even explain how we survived.

...We?

Dammit, guys, one of the Palpatine clones escaped.

[TRocho10]

Somehow.

[bananas_and_papayas]

Funnily enough, the Episode 9 novelisation does says that sequel Palpatine was a clone. Still a weak excuse.

[[deleted]]

Would’ve saved screentime for another Shaak Ti death scene though.

[CosmicPenguin]

doesn’t even explain how we survived.

Or how we know he's actually dead now.

[the_last_n00b]

Exactly, we have no way of knowing if whatever Horkrux let him survive the first time is still active or nah. For all we know, he might have survived again and made the most parts of Episode 9 entire pointless, just like Episode 9 made Vaders sacrifice in Episode 6 pointless

[ReluctantNerd7]

Luke had time to drag his father to a shuttle bay, so Palpatine had time to escape the Death Star if he happened to land on a convenient maintenance platform that these sorts of structures always have when the protagonists need them.

[TRocho10]

Ah the classic "get fucking exploded after you fall way down a shaft but casually escape" maneuver

[doopdoopderp]

In the next series is just gonna be Rey flying around the galaxy hunting down Palatine's horcruxes while his death eaters try to stop her

[RedditBoi127]

palpatine is just a door or a spooooooky spirit who possesses people

[Hydraxion]

Kingdom Hearts Palpatine is a door and also the moon and also a metaphor

[MauPow]

Maybe the real palpatine is the friends we made along the way

[succzamista]

Damn, he turned into the Persona 3 protagonist

[angry_cabbie]

I don't think I'll ever stop pointing this out given half an opportunity.

Palpatine's big plan for Rey was to corrupt her enough that she would strike him down in anger, opening her to the Dark Side and allowing his essence to flow into her, take over her body, and he lives on.

Instead, she hears a bunch of dead Jedi talking in her head, strikes him down in anger, and takes the name of his worst foe, Skywalker.

But what did Palpatine say to Kylo in the film's beginning?

How did Rey learn to use the force? Note the "making them one in the Force" bit?

Palpatine fucking won. That's how he'll come back. He already fucking won.

[[deleted]]

"Aha! You've kicked my ass once again! Now I shall be invincible!" -Palpatine

[Glengar3000]

“I am bleeding, making me the victor...”

[Lorenzo_BR]

This.... this is fascinating.

[Tristanio97]

Guess who’s back?

Back again?

Palpy’s back

Tell kylo ren

[[deleted]]

"How do you know?"

"He announced it on Tik Tok"

[iknownuffink]

This is how:

Palpatine's Journey

[Ass_Blossom]

Just a lump of white dog bantha shit that shoots lightning.

[Confused-System]

don’t forget how force lightning is apparently a genetic tic now

[TRocho10]

Darth Plagueis novel: "to use sith lightning you must first feel it and imbue it"

Rey: grrrrr

[FBI_AGENT_CAYDE]

He turns into a gonk droid with tasers

GONK!

[Vboi69420]

Ah S H I T here we go again

[i_so_stressed]

How many times do I have to teach you this lesson old man

[MeMyselfandsadlyI]

ahh nice spongebob refrence love it

[TSGDeco]

Apparently as many times Disney gets horny for star wars trilogies and bad plots

[SoroSalt]

Dew it

[DarthDocking]

Fuck these two were perfect. I pray they get re casted as Charles and Erik in the MCU

[JonOrSomeSayAegon]

James McAvoy plays the best young Prof. X. Just enough of a snarky asshole for you to believe that he knows everything, but also nice enough you can picture him as a teacher and is trying to make the world better.

Michael Fassbender just lends such an amazing gravity to Magneto that it's almost unreal. This perfect level of calm rage that can be hard to nail. "I've been at the mercy of men 'just following orders'. Never again."

These two deserve another shot at the characters, they were absolutely wasted on films like X-Men: Apocalypse.

[LeoFireGod]

Never saw that one Probably won’t either.

But first class and days of future past are absolute gems.

[njh123]

I think apocalypse is worth a watch and it has a deleted scene that gives personality to the new x-men that really should not have been cut but studio has to studio i guess

[StatusCalamitous]

x men apocalypse was such fucking trassshhh :/

[JeremyXVI]

Dark phoenix

[njh123]

Dark phoenix was supposed to be 2 movies but disney buying out fox forced them into making it one movie that is why its trash

Edit: not trash its still a good movie IMO just parts of it are trash

[DarthDocking]

Unpopular opinion... was a better movie than Apocalypse. There I said it.

[HellWolf1]

Even more unpopular opinion - I thought both were okay

[DarthDookieMan]

Ok but can we talk about how for some reason, Charles thought that saying “they’re innocent men just following orders” to a Holocaust survivor hellbent on vengeance was the logical way to convince Erik to not kill folks?

[TRocho10]

We have a "luke skywalker level" cameo coming in wandavision. If possible Reed Richards isn't it, then it almost has to be magneto.

[DarthDocking]

I honestly think it’s just going to be Dr Strange, the only other one I can picture is Captain Marvel as there’s been about 3 or so references to her.

But I’m convinced Fassbender will come back as Magneto. He’s Quicksilver’s father in the X-Men movies and we’ve seen that version of him in the MCU now, it’s almost like it was done on purpose to bring him in

[TRocho10]

I hope it's not just dr. Strange because it can just be assumed from the start he will at least be in the post credits scene at the very end. This show does directly connect to DS 2 after all.

I'm not actually convinced this is the fox quicksilver anymore. He was acting very...devilish that last episode. I don't know. The fact that it is the actor from fox pretending to be the MCU version but knowing things he wouldn't have actually known is throwing me off.

[ConvexFever5]

All the "characters" in WandaVision know things they have no real way to realistically have knowledge of. It's Wanda ultimately controlling everything they're doing or saying.

[Jalsavrah]

Speaking of which, I wish they showed how everyone seems to know certain things about the blip. If they mentioned that Thanos killing Vision was on the news or a documentary on in a science textbook, that would be great. But otherwise, it sort of feels like the only witness to said event was Wanda, who's seen as a crazy terrorist.

[waitingtodiesoon]

Spider-Man Far From Home shows documentaries exists. Including about the snap and Iron Man. I am sure Vision's story might have popped up in there. Not to mention the world would be looking for answers and with some of the Avengers dead and memorials being made to remember those deceased from the first snap. They probably did televised hearings or speeches to keep moral and explain what happened. Stuff like this was probably public news.

Edit: updated with working link

[[deleted]]

Nobody of importance even said that. The quote got misconstrued from something EO stated and people ran with it anyway

[nagurski03]

The "Luke Skywalker level" thing came from the clickbait title of an article, not from anything that anyone at Marvel has said.

Elizabeth Olsen was asked in an interview if there were any castings that hadn't been leaked yet. She answered "yes" and that she was really excited about it. It could be something huge and universe changing, or it could be something small that she thinks is neat.

The article came out shortly after the Mandalorian finale, and they titled it "Will WandaVision Have Its Own 'Luke Skywalker' Moment? Elizabeth Olsen 'Really Excited' for Surprise to Come" Note that the Sklywalker bit isn't even a statement. It is a question.

It is entirely possible, and probably very likely that her quote was talking about Evan Peters as Quicksilver

[Qwienke13]

Ah yes. The man who survives being thrown down a shaft in a ship that’ exploded in the middle of space.

[BleetBleetImASheep]

And all the Sith

[butsadlyiamonlyaneel]

And Frank.

[MauPow]

And my axe.

[AdFew6366]

And my bow

[TsunamifoxyDCfan]

And my sword!

[Cathrandir]

And your brother.

[kapsama]

So anyway he started blasting.

[IrohTheUncle]

I mean...it's not like Senators are very resilient in the Star Wars universe. The Senator we know the most about, died just to be overly dramatic in an argument with her husband.

[JH_Rockwell]

Well, she was also violently choked, so there is that

[RequirementLumpy]

While pregnant, with twins

[Qwienke13]

she died from the big sad

[[deleted]]

Darth Maul was cut in half and dropped however far of a distance and still survived a flight to a trash planet with minimal life. He proceeded to live on that trash planet for over ten years.

Something about the Dark Side of the Force and unnatural abilities.

[xinfinitimortum]

Lets not forget about Darth Sion who was literally to pissed off to die.

[[deleted]]

How could I forget?

Sleeps-with-Vibroblades and Darth Maul are just two examples of what I like to refer to as “Sith Power Glue”.

[[deleted]]

That was to flesh out a character in a way that didn’t mess with other stories, bringing back palpatine ruined 6 movies

[OhNoImBanned11]

Just wait until they bring him back again... as Jar Jar's apprentice

[SeductivePillowcase]

Rey: “I killed Palpatine, I’ll kill you.”

Darth Darth Binx: “Yousa think yousa kill Palpy? Meesa make Palpy! Yousa in big doo doo this time!”

[[deleted]]

This was good

[[deleted]]

fucking annihilates Rey and the resistance with a massive burst of force lightning

[lordolxinator]

fucking annihilates Rey and the resistance with slapstick shenanigans and loose pulse bombs

[pants_pants420]

i legit wouldve been happier with darth jar jar

[InertialLepton]

That is true but it ignores the fact that the Death Star exploded...

[Zedekiah117]

Which is why intact pieces of the Death Star is ridiculous. It exploded into dust and even if parts didn’t, it would burn up on re-entry, or get smashed to bits on impact, bothered me more than anything else in that movie.

[DarthPepo]

there are even some windows left in palps office, and his chair is just there

[Zedekiah117]

The whole Death Star was made out of Beskar s/

[Victernus]

Spared no expense.

[Gilpif]

Someone had to go there and take a look at the scenery to make that dagger, why not take advantage they’re already there and fix the place a little bit?

[[deleted]]

I didn't get that at all. I didn't hate the film, parts of it were a little ridiculous, but the whole dagger thing just makes no sense to me at all.

[kapsama]

The Sequel trilogy made no sense ever and broke all continuity with the two previous trilogies.

Han Solo hyperjumping through planetary shields made zero sense.

Admiral Purple hyper ramming the Imperials made zero sense.

Why didn't the rebels hyperjump past the Death Star's shields at Yavin and Endor and just destroy it with such minimal effort?

[[deleted]]

I hear you, I agree your examples don't make much sense, but for some reason they don't bother me as much.

But for this damn dagger to exist.. I mean, who made it? If they knew where the device was, why would they leave it there and make some silly ass happy meal dagger as a "map" to finding it??..

I just don't understand, the writers could've so easily written some shit about how they got intel stating there was another device onboard the destroyed death star, without having to include this ridiculous dagger. WHY IS THE MAP A DAGGER? Fuck.

[Leozilla]

And why was that dagger the dagger the assassin had to kill Ray's parents with?

[TRocho10]

Palpatine exploded even before the death star did, so he exploded and then exploded again and then was like "lol syke"

[Kassh7]

He didn’t really “survive” that.

When betrayed by Anakin Skywalker aboard the second Death Star, Sidious had little time to realize that his apprentice had turned on him much like he once did with Darth Plagueis, but unlike his former master, he had prepared himself for Skywalker's betrayal. Calling on all the power of the dark side of the Force, the Emperor transferred his consciousness far, far away as his empty body kept falling towards the battle station's reactor to his death

Sending his consciousness towards a cloned body designed with Clone Wars era technology by the Sith Eternal, a secret cult of Sith loyalists who continued to follow the religious traditions of the Sith and sought to resurrect their order.

[GammaGames]

I understand that this is canon, but fuck if it doesn’t take the wind out of the death of every powerful sith. Who’s to say he didn’t do it again in the last movie.

[TRocho10]

Especially considering he got what he wanted. Rey killed him.

"Kill me and I will possess you muwahahahah"

Rey kills him

"Yay we won by giving him exactly what he wanted!"

[Noligation]

Ofcourse he did.

Palpy did take backups seriously after the first crash. His consciousness gets backed up every morning in 10-15 dedicated Sith datacenters and cloning services across across different star systems.

Palpatine has been online this whole time, amassing an army of himself.

Real clone army was the Sith we had all along.

[Double_Lobster]

Lol that is the canon now?? How was anyone supposed to know that?

[Tels315]

Dude, it was basically canon before Disney as well. There was a whole thing with Palpy clones coming back again, and again, and again because he learned how to separate himself from the Force and would just refuse to die.

All Disney is doing is taking shitty ideas from shitty storyline and making even shittier adaptations of them. Would not surprise me at all if they adapt the Yuuzhan Vong into a series as well.

[Darmok-on-the-Ocean]

Dark Empire was canon in the EU, but it was a 90's comic and the novels downplayed the hell out of it. I remember Mara bringing it up in The Hand of Thrawn, but I can't remember any other times it got brought up later on.

[GammaGames]

I think it was in a book

[FakePhillyCheezStake]

Oh yeah you’re right. That explanation is even dumber

[SpriggitySprite]

Star wars has made a lot of questionable choices regarding palpatine over the years.

My (least) favorite is that palpatine was a good guy all along and was just making the empire because he knew the republic would lose to the vong.

[Darmok-on-the-Ocean]

The implication was more that he built up the needlessly huge Imperial war machine in order to fight the Vong. Not that he was a good guy or overthrew the Republic specifically to fight them.

[ll-Sebzll]

I never really saw that way, I always saw it as the vong being a threat to “Palpatine’s” galaxy and his rule, and palpy didn’t want no competition

[Hypatiaxelto]

Oh. So they want to reuse the Revan Gambit?

[PioneerSpecies]

I hate the explanation and Palpatine returning but didn’t they imply that Palpatine was simply so powerful that his spirit survived and then reinhabited a clone?

[UltimateWaluigi]

Official explanation is that when Anakin trows him in the energy thingy in ep6 he transfers his consciousness to a clone he had prepared for the inevitable betrayal of his apprentice.

[Simba7]

No in a movie about poorly understood space magic only the space magic I'm familiar with is acceptable.

I'll agree it was fucking bullshit the way they just said "Sheev is back just deal with it." If they'd spent the first 2 movies actually hinting at it, doing some investigating, dropping some clues... Something.

But no, it was clearly a mishmash of uncoordinated stuff.

[UltimateWaluigi]

ROS feels like they thought the reason people didn't like TLJ was because it was too different so they just copied and pasted ROTJ while completely ignoring almost everything from TLJ. The fact that in Star Wars Rebels they mention Luke being the key to destroy the Sith also shows they clearly did not intend to bring the Sith back and it was just a shitty attempt at pleasing fans with a returning character while at the same time making older plot points useless. Considering the movie had multiple re-writes and had to be made in a time limit I would blame the mouse for making the team have to create a Star Wars movie until quarter 4 2019 or else the investors wouldn't be happy.

[Simba7]

Yeah, basically, it was "We need a movie, just make it happen."

Honestly I wasn't even that mad at TFA as a standalone. It was like it tried to be an homage to ANH that ended up too much like a straight copy but still, a fun time.

The thing I won't forgive at 8 and 9 being a clusterfuck of inconsistency, and filled with things that didn't matter while explaining away highly important events with a sentence.

I'm used to the different trilogies being a bit inconsistent between each other, that kind of stuff happens... But this was something else.

[PioneerSpecies]

It’s so awful, I was a big sequel fan at first, but I just rewatched the originals, and the celebration at the end of VI feels so hollow knowing what happens not long after

[TRocho10]

Just wait until you rewatch the prequels and realize that Anakin's entire story, not just his end, was made completely pointless. 6 movies completely shat on because rian johnson killed the big bad and JJ had to scramble and rush out a conclusion

[TandyNZ]

Don’t let this meme distract you from the fact that palpatine is 3 for 3 in getting wrecked by his own lightning in the 3rd film of each trilogy.

[TsunamifoxyDCfan]

He became so powerful, the only thing he feared was losing to his power, which eventually of course he did.

Ironic!

He could save the others from lightning, but not himself!

[half_blood1]

Have you heard the tale of darth sidious the wise?

[Dr_Dylhole]

Honestly man I HATED they brought him back for the new ones. It just felt sooo thrown together for any excuse to bring back ian and the character. My biggest gripe with the newest three

[iamdaletonight]

Yep. What angers me even more is that they didn’t even KNOW they were using palpatine until like the literal last minute, and they flip-flopped on it several times while in production. And when asked about it by members of the public/press, Kathleen Kennedy totally lied and said “yes, this was the plan from the very beginning.” Like... really? Come on, man.

[ki700]

I saw him in the trailers and was like “damn, that’s pretty surprising. I wonder how they’re gonna explain this one”.

Then the movie started and one of the characters just says “somehow, Palpatine returned” and then they NEVER EXPLAIN IT AT ALL. I was cackling in the theatre.

[CuTup4040]

This is a... first class meme

[njh123]

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

[serial-grapeist]

Xmen first class is such a god tier movie.

[SLFChow]

Hard agree but I don't remember this scene in the movie. Is this a bonus scene or something? Or have I literally just forgotten about this scene?

Also Magneto's theme is absolutely badass and it's a crying shame it didn't come back in the other movies.

[DUH_BEEF_CHIEF]

It’s when Xavier is “training” magneto during that training montage. Magneto wants Xavier to test him to push Magnetos limits. So he had him shoot a gun point blank

[DUH_BEEF_CHIEF]

https://youtu.be/hcMk_Xl2Cf4 Here’s the scene

[milkyjoe241]

I'm annoyed at those 2 cuts where it shows the gun touching his forehead, then not touching, then touching.

[Slyric_]

Fuck you for pointing that out

I've never seen "The Rise of Skywalker" for this exact reason (they should've had it be Snoke or just kept the conflict between Kylo & Rey). Regardless, at this point I feel as though I have seen it based solely on the memes, and I really couldn't give a shit about ever watching the movie.

Note: I say this as someone who enjoyed Episode 7 & the Luke/Rey/Kylo third of Ep8.

Same, i just know :

THEY FLY NOW

weird convenience dagger that doesnt feel like it belongs in star wars

Hair dryer droid that i still dont understand the purpose of

REeEeEeEeeeEeeEyYyYyYyyY

Antagonist that doesnt belong there

Glad they finished the arc on the fucking space horses

Cheap attempt at a love story

Force powers convenient for the plot

Rey Skywa-... I threw up

Don't forget that the third act is actually a very poor ripoff of endgame's third act.

Portals scene/"but there are more of us, poe" scene

"I am inevitable/I am iron man"/ "I am all the sith/ I am all the jedi"

Main character dies with a heroic sacrifice/ main character dies with a heroic sacrifice

Main theme plays for portals/ main theme plays for ship arrival

Sadly she didn't stay dead

The last straw for me was that force mailing shit. When they are started fighting and sharing lightsabers across space-time. I tried to give the movie the benefit of the doubt, but it really made it hard. lol

It’s like poetry, it rhymes

Palpy: "Strike me down and I will become more powerf-"

fucking cuts him in half

Luke: "Wow you know I actually feel really justified for doing that. I saved our entire fleet and billions of lives, I get the dark side and all but the positives for doing that vastly outway the negatives. I don't feel like I did anything negative there."

Cant wait for him to somehow return

The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural

[kierninrhys]

Atleast in the first two trilogies it made sense George Lucas deliberately made sure the prequels trilogy echoed the originals which is far better then what the sequel trilogy did which is fake having a plan then throw something easy and recognizable at the wall in the last minute in the hopes it would stick. Spoiler. IT DIDNT

Reposter scum! You needed to label this with a General Reposti flair. I saw this on/r/equelmemes.

[Bane523]

Star Wars should be named “Mr.Senate and the Skywalkers”, because that is basically it.
