At the end during the celebration, when Poe is looking for someone to hug and smiles and nods, it should've been Finn he was looking at.

Discussion on saber colors as well as what Reys new one is
https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/12/20/star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker-lightsaber-color-meanings-explained-rey-yellow
In one of the stores in Galaxy's Edge, the staff there gave me this same explanation of the colors of Kyber crystals.
I built my own lightsaber there and chose red as my initial blade color. I then bought from the shop a yellow and white crystal. The white actually looks very striking.

Chewie's medal....eyes watered on that and had a huge lump in my throat.

So I saw it first show this morning, I realllllly liked it and enjoyed the movie overall.
I do agree with lots of people if I had to be critical and find something I didn't like was it was sooooo fast paced. Once the movie settled in, it was the most enjoyable.
As someone said above I was really thrown off that the scroll seemed shorter than normal and just threw the emperor out there in I think the first sentence.
If I had to describe the movie, it would be like watching Harry Potter and the deathly hallows part 1 & 2 at the same times, and tossing in parts of the other HP movies just to catch you up.
I loved when chewy got his medal. I loved when Luke raised the Xwing out of the water. I thought Leias lightsaber looked really cool design, but loved the look of Reys new one. I had in the new series everyone had blue, I loved the different shades of blades. I felt like the knights of REN were a giant waste and afterthought. Every time you saw them, they always felt like they were just lurking in the shadows, or just last to the party.
I saw a few of y'all debate how the ties were light speed jumping with the falcon, and I just assumed that they were all in proximity with the falcons to be sucked along. I believe they even talked about it in either empire or return of the jedi... Han or lando was like well take a few of them with us...
I got a good laugh when Poe wanted a kiss at the end and she's like nahhh and they go their own ways.
Cameos: so the bartender was John Williams? I thought it might had been the bartender from Tattoine mainly how he was looking at the droid and they made a point to focus on him and that was Wedge on the falcon?
The biggest part that confused me was how Palp came back after being killed in ROTJ. The time line of how old rey appears to be, and she is already the granddaughter to palp does t make sense. I would love just more explanation on that.
The score was great, williams did a great job of blending everyone's themes and overall was just so good. Like others said, I was sad there was no duel of the fates, but oh well
binge mode had a rant on this in the ANH podcast. I believe they said it was later explained as damage control that Wookiee culture doesn't value medals so Chewy has no use or appreciation for one.AliasMan02 said:Stupe said:
Chewie's medal....eyes watered on that and had a huge lump in my throat.
Two deep canon cuts for you: Chewie actually had his own medal that he gave away.
The medal Maz gave Chewie was actually Luke's that Han used to pay a tab, telling her it was his.
My take on it was that she didn't really kill him. She was defending herself and reflected his lightning back to him...he could have stopped but chose not to do so, so he killed himself. Shrug.Jim01 said:
But when Rey did eventually kill him, why didn't he just zap into her, as he threatened to do when she initially was going to kill him.
Jim01 said:
I know people have a hard time with Palpatine being alive, but in rewatching the OT last week it occurred to me, why is Palpatine surviving his fall any more ridiculous than Luke surviving his fall in cloud city?
I don't think Anakin's sacrifice was for nothing. He still saved Luke, who then ultimately helped train Leia, they both then helped train Rey, who ultimately brought victory.
He said he was excited to be going on Rey's first (solo, i think...this would have been before everyone else forced themselves along) mission. Since he didn't go with her to find Luke, he must not have been referring to that. Unless he is talking about something in between the movies, I am going to assume he was talking about the mission that just happened.DannyDuberstein said:
One thing I didn't quite catch that I'm sure one of you can help me with. When R2 restored 3po's memory, how far was he backed up to? That was one of those moments where I wish I had the rewind remote handy.
I think when he got his memory back he said something about how he was about to go on a trip with Rey so maybe before they all head off to the Pasaana desert planet earlier in the movie is my guess. Loved when R2 told him they already did that, overall felt good to have 3PO as GOOD comic relief again, hasn't really happened for a decade or so.DannyDuberstein said:

Yeah, as crazy as it seems, you really wonder if the franchise ever really gets off the ground without him. Music makes such a deep connection to the audience. His contribution to SW was pure perfection.Brian Earl Spilner said:
gotta agree, Luke raising his X-Wing again with THE SAME JW musical score part from the scene in ESB really hit me in the feels, all I could think of was the next Luke/Yoda exchange "I dont believe it/that is why you fail"Stupe said:
Emotional moments:
My mouth dropped and then I said "No, no, no, no" and then I got choked up when that transport ship blew up and I thought Chewie was on it. Man....that HURT
X-wing coming out of the water when he couldn't do it in ESTB. I was elbowing my son in the ribs when that happened.
Seeing Luke's helmet....more rib elbowing
Chewie's medal....eyes watered on that and had a huge lump in my throat.
One of the best lines in the series to me. Right behind "I am a Jedi, like my father before me."Matt_ag98 said:gotta agree, Luke raising his X-Wing again with THE SAME JW musical score part from the scene in ESB really hit me in the feels, all I could think of was the next Luke/Yoda exchange "I dont believe it/that is why you fail"Stupe said:

I'm guessing that was the missing daughter storyline that apparently got trimmed.DannyDuberstein said:
I did think the Lando-ex storm trooper chick scene at the end was kind of awkward with them just goofily smiling at each other.
What did you like about his redemption? Because to me it felt completely unearned and awful. Especially when you consider that the series is built on one of the biggest redemption stories of all time with Vader.jr15aggie said:
Holy crap that was great! Not sure how all will feel about it, but I enjoyed the redemption of Ben Solo. Bravo to Adam Driver, guy just nailed his role.
Will take another viewing to unpack it all, but I loved it.
And what the heck, her staff was a lightsaber all along... we've argued that since TFA photos were released. So, we can only assume she knew it all along I guess.

Chewie finally got his due this movie
How did we not see Rey being a Palpatine?!?! We should have guessed that the second we heard Palps the trailer.
I was hoping for a few more Easter Eggs... more references to Rebels and Ashoka. I was listening for Ashoka when all the Jedi were talking, but I didn't hear her.
Oh I mean I definitely think there was pull on him, they had hinted at it for all 3 films in some way shape or form. But it felt incredibly forced which is why I say its unearned. There was literally no trigger at all. People may view this differently, but for me they did it because that's what they did before. I probably would be less harsh on it if this were the only part of the film that felt that way, but almost every large plot point felt that way to me.DannyDuberstein said:
Not sure about unearned. There was clearly always a strong connection with Rey, and while the pull always seemed to be focused on her and the dark side, there was pull on him too. Yeah, it's a cheaper version than the greatest of all time, but I didnt think that made it awful
What, did I blink or something? Totally missed this. Or were you referring to when we heard the Jedi voices speaking to Rey (of which the only voice I could identify for certain was Yoda)?Quote:
Loved the cameos by Anakin, Mace Windu, Qui Gon, Ahsoka, etc.

I hate the Force powers in these new ones. They make Rey god mode. She can now pull a Plagieus and control life and can teleport objects through the Force. 900 year old Yoda was a freaking newb compared to that.
