Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker
The fourth dimension has finally come , it is officially the week of departure for the terminal entry to the Skywalker saga ofStar war , The Rise Of Skywalker . theory and expectation , excitement and incertitude , happiness and sadness , all of these are rife among the fandom as the film fast approaches .
The motion-picture show has the unequalled undertaking of finishing up the greatest saga in movie house in a good , concise , and satisfying manner . In decree to do this , it has to do certain things to be both a honorable movie and a goodStar Warsfilm so as to appeal to all types of fans , and it also has to avoid sure things . So , here are 5 thing that must happen inThe lift Of Skywalker , as well as 5 that really should not .
Must Connect All Three Trilogies
The ultimate goal of this pic is — or at least should be — to fetch a superb ending to the Skywalker saga . This is a saga that has 40 years , and three trilogies under its belt and none of those trilogies can be disregard , they must be represent in this film .
Obviously , The Rise Of Skywalkeris about the sequel trilogy heroes , and , as everyone knows , the Emperor , Luke , Chewie , and Leia are all in this film which , does colligate it to the Original trilogy and arguably the Prequels . However , the three all must be tied up in this film as well as the fact the Prequels need more representation , or else the saga may experience unsatisfying if not incomplete .
Shouldn’t Focus On Off-brand Humor
The runtime forThe acclivity Of Skywalkeris around 2hrs 21mins according to J.J. Abrams . That is not the longest time , particularly not to fit in forty years of a saga in .
Therefore the film simply can not afford to waste precious minutes on jokes that do not go intoStar Wars , particularly when those minutes could be spent furthering graphic symbol and the story . For case , inThe Last Jedi , despite all its positives , the humor tried a mass to be like an MCU film and a lot of itdid not fit intoStar Wars , whereas mood in the Originals , and evenThe Force Awakens , all correspond well .
Side-Character Story Archs Must Have A Payoff
The three primary stars ofThe ascent Of Skywalker , and rightfully so , are Rey , Kylo , and Palpatine . Their news report seem intertwined and will be the main spark of the film . But , that does not mean the suffer characters ' stories and development must be ignored .
Finn and Poe are expectant character who merit to have their discharge and their own development to end the journeying , and the same applies to the new characters , as well as Leiaand Chewbacca . The first two prequels had some poor exploitation for some of its characters andThe Last Jedi , while it receive the character development for Finn and Poe right , the grinder - secret plan they fit through to get it was ultimately senseless and the weakest parts of the pic .
Shouldn’t Have Pointless Sideplots
As mentioned above development for characters as well as good stories for them are needs forThe Rise Of Skywalker , it must quash though the aforementioned sub - plot that are senseless . Not only that , but the plastic film demand to avert doing any story within the celluloid that go nowhere .
If the film set something up it but can not afford to not pay it off , the hand demand to be deliberate and airtight . If something is portend or an event is mentioned or conflict is brewing , it must all come to a headspring within the film , there is no time and too much at stake for the flick to create story and not follow through on them or have to terminate up pointless .
Must Have More Force Ghosts
It is basically confirm that Luke Skywalker will appear inThe Rise Of Skywalkerin force ghost form . While that is wild and exciting , the force ghosts should not terminate there .
If the motion-picture show does not have Hayden Christensenreprising his role as Anakin Skywalker , it is an immediate hindrance for fan reception . To not have Anakin Skywalker , the key character in theStar Warsuniverse , in the final entry inhissaga is nonsensical . On top of that , there also should be coming into court from Yoda once again , and the rejoinder of Obi - Wan ’s force ghost which both will match the account and the purpose the film has of tying up the saga .
Should Not Feature Another Planet-Killing Weapon
The planet slayer trope in theStar Warsfilms is formally overstated , it was arguably a detriment toReturn Of The Jedi , but , on top of that , it was once again brought back in the pattern of Starkiller Base inThe Force Awakens .
The original Death Star inA New Hopewas grand , but , to have a fourth interlingual rendition come up in this film would be faineant and would just come across as a rehash ofReturn Of The Jedi . If the Death Star technology is used , say in Star Destroyers or a less powerful weapon , that could be great , but J.J can not waste a plastic film focus on Death Star IV .
Must Flesh Out Snoke And The Knights Of Ren
Two of the biggest question come out ofThe Force Awakenswere " who is Snoke " and " who are the Knights Of Ren ? " J.J eventually has the chance to answer those questions .
The Last Jeditook a shocking route with Snoke , and now it is up to the director ofEpisode VIIto explain his taradiddle as well as the account of the Knights of Ren . fan know the Knights are in this film via trailer , so to not delve into who they are and their purpose makes no sentience and would be bitterly disappointing .
Should Not Waste Kylo Ren
This is not a should , but rather a 100 % cannot . Kylo Ren is the best part of the sequels , in terms of level , character , and functioning , he is the undisputed best .
However , most fan believe he will have the same fate as Darth Vader , redemption and demise . But the film can not risk doing it in a repetitive , uninteresting , or ambitionless fashion . It would be much more interesting if Kylo survived , or if he stayed speculative , perhaps . Redemption and end is the most predictable option , but , no matter what happen to the young Solo , it must be well compose and executed or the film risk of exposure go forth a virulent gustatory sensation in the rima oris .
Must Have High Stakes
Star Warssometimes has a tendency of make thing perhaps a bit too easy for its hoagie , but , with the retort of Emperor Palpatine , that can not be the suit here .
For not just Rey but forall our hero sandwich , Finn , Poe , the Resistance , there must be stakes and struggle , perhaps through destruction , or perhaps seizure of characters or even just consuming odds . On top of that , whatever the Emperor ’s programme is must be one that is executed to the full stop where fan really believe he will bring home the bacon , otherwise there will be a want of tension , and maybe even deal from some fans , and will harm the story .
Cannot Have Rey Easily Kill Palpatine
If Rey and Palpatine get in a battle of lightsabers , or exchange of force-out powers , or come together in some direction as Rey vs Palpatine one - on - one with no special circumstances , then Rey can not win .
Not only does it waste the Emperor . but it also rob Anakin of his improbable arc while make Rey too potent . If Rey get the better of Palpatine with the help of perhaps Kylo , or the force spook or a compounding of the two with perhaps some ancient artifact or power , that is obviously expected and okay … depend on the overall instruction execution . But the film risk being smash if she simply kills Palpatine completely by herself .
