How Bad Movies Are Made feat. The Rise of Skywalker

It is extremely telling that I legitimately completely forgot they destroyed a planet in rise of skywalker

She called herself Rey Skywalker for tax evasion purposes and I am surprised everyone missed this clearly outlined point.

“Rey buries Luke and Leia‘s light sabers for all eternity at the one place Luke couldn’t wait to get away from, in the one material that the guy who built it couldn’t stand.” LOVE IT.

Finn leading a stormtrooper rebellion would have been so cool. It would make his past relevant and important to his development.

Watching this video made me realize something about this movie... I had absolutely no recollection of 99% of it.

To me it felt like the entire sequel trilogy was a high school project that started with passion, and ended with deadlines, confusion, and a "just get it finished" mindset.

I'm sure I've seen The Rise of Skywalker, but it must have been so unmemorable that halfway through this video I seriously questioned if I had seen the movie

A 7k year old sith lord would've been one hell of a story

I just can’t understand why they were so obsessed with having horses involved. They got rid of so much but they HAD to have horses

Kinda ironic how "The Rise of Skywalker" ended with the bloodline's extinction and a Palpatine stealing that name.

I love how they made the movie make less sense as they went. Fucking incredible.

It's crazy that one of the biggest flaws is because JJ Abrams doesn't believe characters don't have object permanence. Truly, a creative genius

Have to say: The earlier drafts sounded a whole lot more coherent than what the movie ended up being...

Remember in Jedi when 3P0 said "it's against my programming to impersonate a deity-" and Luke said "just do it!" and 3P0 did it without having his brain wiped? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I think the main problem is that they had all these cool shots they wanted in the movie, but rather then giving some of them up to better the plot, they twisted the plot to get those shots into the film.

It's actually so funny hearing just how many random elements from Duel of the Fates were included in The Rise of Skywalker. I am now firmly confident that this movie was made with sticky notes. Whenever someone was pitching a plot for this movie, whether it be Collin Trevorrow, George Lucas, or who ever else, a few key words were written on sticky notes and plastered all over the writers' room, only for their origin and context to be forgotten about. It's the same thing that happened with the dagger, which was originally meant to be the Dagger of Mortis, as per George's pitch. Someone wrote "dagger" on a sticky note. Someone wrote "childlike alien" on a sticky note. Someone wrote "Kylo giving Rey his life force" on a sticky note.

Knowing how palpatine came back is literally one of the biggest criticisms of the movie, because if he’s alive that invalidates the entirety of the OT

I can't get over it that someone at Disney thought that the fans would hate seeing Coruscant and especially the Jedi Temple after all those decades ... This absolutely proves, that no one at Disney (at least in this triology) knows anything about Star Wars lore

The Duel of the Fates draft actually makes so much sense. It's as if they took bits from the actually somewhat coherent story and rearanged them into the monstrosity we witnessed.

44:39 Just the thought of Kylo playing that song over his built-in helmet stereo is sending me into the stratosphere
