The Rise of Skywalker is the Worst Star Wars movie and Secret Victory

With Kathleen Kennedy finally resigning, I find myself looking back The Rise of Skywalkeralso known as the worst movie in the sequel trilogy. Fans like to give The Last Jedi Nonsense, but that movie could be Citizen Kane Compared to Tros, the movie is nothing more than lazy nostalgia, surrounding a lazy plot. but, The Rise of Skywalker yes The worst The Star Wars movie, this is a secret victory centered on how Rey’s narrative of his pursuit of identity.
The Rise of Skywalker does one thing right
The original Star Wars movie was famous along with Joseph Campbell’s famous movie A hero with a thousand faces Considering that this is why the characters are extensive and recognizable prototypes (Luke Skywalker is a young man with a fate like King Arthur, Obi-Wan Kenobi is a Merlin-like wizard who offers our heroes a magic sword like Excalibur, etc.). This helped make these movies successful, but later prequels and sequels ended up feeling like a lass-footed refurbishment as the creators once again created a wide range of prototype characters. In comparison The Rise of Skywalkereven in the worst case, is a narrative victory, making Rey three-dimensional seek self-identity.
Obviously Disney confuses the sequel on almost every level, which is why Rey is from possible connection with the obi-wan Power awakening (After Alec Guinness got the lightsaber of Luke Skywalker, Sir Alec Guinness was named Alec Guinness by Alec Guinness The Last Jedi. The Rise of Skywalker Notoriously making her the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine, although it was the worst storytelling decision they could have made, because Rey’s realization that self-identity is a social construct, it was a chance victory.
In fact, this means that Rey character finally realized something that escaped countless fans and Disney’s own theme executives: The debate about Rey’s identity is Completely It’s meaningless. Everyone wants to take a closer look at who she might be connected to in the Star Wars universe and how those connections define her true identity. The Rise of SkywalkerBut what almost everyone in our new Jedi realizes is that its worst story beat (Rey’s connection to Emperor Palpatine) becomes a victory: a person’s identity does not have to be determined by one’s family.
This may sound like a pretty basic idea, but it’s a concept that Star Wars has never really embraced. Most of these three trilogies revolve around the alternating ways of Skywalker between doomed and saving the galaxy, which makes it easy for Full Power to really care for a family. The Rise of SkywalkerDespite all the flaws, our heroes can define themselves and live fulfilling lives outside the shadow of their ex.
Now, before you say it, I will be the first to admit that it is not magical The Rise of Skywalker A good movie. Everything from the return of Hokey of Emperor Palpatine to the plot of Extract Quest to the inexplicable remnants of Death Star is stupid enough to make you wonder why you fell in love with this franchise in the first place. Even Rey’s revelation, she identified her as a Skywalker for the ending of a stupid stinger, but such stupid people hide a rather important message about choosing their own identity.
Again suitable for cheap seats: The Rise of Skywalker It’s the worst Star Wars movie ever, but it’s also a secret victory as it reconnects the entire series. After eight movies stick with other situations, the franchise is obsessed with the fate of the universe at last Acknowledge that our heroes are free to choose their own path and their own identity. Hopefully Star Wars itself will follow suit, and its connection to Disney will not be sure it is a decent franchise again.
