Amazing how terribly trashy this sounds. I guess I could get drunk and watch this.

And why is Rey the granddaughter. What about Sheev's son/daughter? They just have no part to play at all

Would have been smarter to just have had Palps say something like "Did you ever wonder who gave you the abilities you have? It is not a coincidence that you are before me now, girl." Just have it so that Sheev picked a random kid and guided her powers over time, much like Anakin (kind of).

You know, talent sometimes skips a generation and so on. Sheev probably created/conceived them in hopes to get someone like Anakin but they turned out to be a complete flop. Maybe they were the Muggle equivalent of the Star Wars universe?

Can we all take a moment of silence and contemplate Sheev Palpatine having sex? Just 60 seconds is all I ask

I still think a really clever angle they could've used is Ben not knowing Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader were the same person. He'd have known Darth Vader was his grandfather and following in his footsteps would've been the driving force behind Ben's motivation to essentially rebel against his parents by becoming the thing they hated most - his grandfather.

Then the revelation that would've broken Ben's resolve and given him a reason to become good again would've been Anakin actually showing up to talk to his grandson, telling him of his fall to the dark side and how he ultimately rejected it for his son. Ben would have then looked into who Anakin Skywalker was and he'd be flooded with stories of the hero of the Clone Wars that the galaxy believes died when Order 66 was carried out.
How does this premise work when literally everyone in Ben's family would have told him that Anakin was Darth Vader?

Yo mods, if this movie gets over 65 on RT I'll make my avatar JarJar forever
No matter how much this movie drops the ball on the lore, it's reasonable to expect it to stick the landing on cinematography, acting, effects, music, etc. It's going to be much like TFA where the moment-to-moment action and feels are excellent, with the structure of the world only falling apart if you sit there and think about it for too long. It's going to be carried on a competent execution.

This is the only feasible answer. Sheev had a kid, which he would probably only do if he thought it would mean creating someone more powerful than Anakin (who lost too many midichlorians), but the Force pulled a prank on him and left his kid a squib. So the child fled and ended up having their own child later in life, Rey, who Sheev found out about and wanted to capture.

This trilogy has made me sick of this time period. Beyond whatever shows they have planned that are contained within the same years from the PT to ST, I hope the movies going forward explore a time far ahead or before this basura.

Exactly.

People here need to step away from the computer with "worse than the prequels" hot takes.

I reckon they're going to go back, way back.

extended universe has been hammering home 'ancient sith' shit for yonks now, seems like the folk at Lucasfilm enjoy that area. I expect a KOTOR-like 'product' somewhere down the line.

The cinematogrphay and CGI effects have never been a problem with these movies. There's too much money being poured into them for that kind of stuff to not be up to par.

I just realized out of the 9 movies there really is 3 good movies and 1 mega enjoyable movie. The OT and RoTS everything else is just basura.

And while that would be cool, these movies have done a lot of damage with my excitement regarding any type of Star Wars-related material that takes place before it. Everything feels more pointless because of how unsatisfying it is.

I don't imagine Sheev fucking like a typical person. To me, he'd fuck just the way they do in Demolition Man.

Money doesn't fix things if it is spent on a shit director and a shit cinematography team. See the Hobbit Trilogy.

Why is is called The Rise of Skywalker when no real Skywalkers are left at the end?

Because Rey is a Skywalker.

I've been rewatching ROTS clips and not even Ian McDiarmid can save his scenes, no matter how hard he's trying.

The "it's treason then" spin isn't even funny bad.
Episode 3 has a lot of great parts, but they're better in meme form than actually watching the movie. It's just so poorly shot that even the funny/interesting stuff just makes you sleepy.

Budget doesn't mean the cinematography and cgi will be good. The prequels have trash cinematography outside of moments here and there.

Yeah. The prequels are unwatchable. Atrocious acting, pacing, writing, and visuals. The action has no weight at all outside of the TPM Maul fight. The entire thing feels like a student film with expensive cgi.

The ST has none of these problems aside from debatable comparisons with the writing.
