I thought it was a pretty significant moment. I mean it is kind of the apex of that arc for her. It also acknowledges Luke's growth in TLJ.
I don't know why everyone seems to think this when this has been said since at least early 2016. I'm pretty sure IX was meant as the end since the beginning of this trilogy.I could be wrong, but did they even refer to this as the end of the Skywalker Saga before promotion for IX? It always felt like this trilogy was meant to be it's own thing, then they went back and were like, gotta tie Palpatine into this somehow.

Insignificant in the context of her character growth you mean? For me it establishes her willingness to confront Palpatine in spite of her vision of going to the dark side.It's the apex of her arc and it's insignificant. That's the problem.
I'm aware I'm in the minority here but I thought elements like Superman Leia, Rey's power progression and Snoke's backstory are all made cleaner with this movie.It seems we've had the exact opposite reaction to RotS. What about it makes you retroactively like the other two movies?
Anyone else impressed by the sound in this film? Maybe it was the Dolby Atmos theatre I was in, but the opening on Exegol with the sheering lighting strikes and Palpatine's very deep voice were incredible to me.
My friend and I are arguing...
His takes:
He believes that Leia wasn't a real master and it was just Rey's opinion that she was a master..
Did Leia train Rey? Or was she supervising LMAO..
at least get your facts straight
x-wings could always hyper jump
So how come they can't hyperspace jump in TLJ but can do so in the movie afterwards? It makes no sense that they come back to the main ship just to be chased down and unable to do anything.

It sounds great in Dolby. The IMAX theater here was egregiously loud. I might actually email the theater because it was obnoxious. The bass is so severe in that theater that it actually puts the projector out of focus.Anyone else impressed by the sound in this film?

The ties in the hangar all got destroyed in TLJSo how come they can't hyperspace jump in TLJ but can do so in the movie afterwards? It makes no sense that they come back to the main ship just to be chased down and unable to do anything.
When I saw it in Dolby, Palpatine with the bass drop was a bit funny
When did they say in TLJ that X-Wings can't go to hyperspace?So how come they can't hyperspace jump in TLJ but can do so in the movie afterwards? It makes no sense that they come back to the main ship just to be chased down and unable to do anything.
It's hilarious and also a little telling that the idea of Leia using the Force is completely incomprehensible unless we're shown Luke training Leia.

Maybe they weren't fuelled for hyperspace?What's the reason they come back to the ship in such a rush before the main ship hyper jumps, other then to be a plot point to have all the ships in one convenient place to be destroyed?
In previous movies, these ships are in defense formations and hyper jump alongside the main cruisers.
Again, it's part of this continuing trend of weird plot devices used to further the story into an over arching plot that doesn't make sense.
Well when they were going to go to their X-Wings and stuff, the entire hanger got blown to bits when they found out they were being chased...
The core problem is that JJ does what he does in the first movie and tries to make everything a mystery. Who is Rey? What's her story?? RJ tries to do something that that in an interesting way and then JJ just barrels forward with his mystery box shit to the end with the Palpatine nonsense. She ends up being a character that goes from charming to interesting to boring over the course of three movies.Seriously, does anyone else feel Rey's entire character was ruined with this film? Like, was was the point of this entire trilogy? Also, why would anyone be Rey's friend? She's a terrible friend.
I'm not talking about the hangar being boomed.
They fight the dreadnaught.
They begin retreating.
All of the fighters return to the main cruiser (Poe implying there is a sense of urgency to do this).
Then the cruiser jumps.
Then the first order tracks them and jumps to them, and then their hangar is boomed, rest of the movie happens.
These fighters in previous movies are used to defend the cruisers and can hyperjump with them, but yet are supposedly unable to do so in TLJ and Luke's xwing is able to do so after being in the water for who knows how long?
The plots of these movies do not seem on a proper track, right? They ignore what previous movies do.
TRoS does an incredibly similar thing by not mentioning the hyper space ramming when all the ships begin launching on the sith world. We know a main cruise and a hyper space ram can take out multiple ships, but suddenly its not even thought of? It's wild.

I don't understand what your issue is? All the Resistance has left is their flagship basically and the lighter ships retreat back to the hanger. That includes the x wings and the a-wings. Also, the Resistance was doing this on the fly and didn't have a rendezvous destination. It makes sense that the ships returned to the RaddusI'm not talking about the hangar being boomed.

No, only the Raddus could pull off that maneuver due to its experimental shields.
Your point about the X-wings is more valid, it was probably just a plot device.
Johnson probably didn't want to reveal it beforehand and talking about the technical workings after the fact would have interrupted the flow and emotional impact of that scene. I guarantee the experimental shields explanation is just there to keep it as a one-off event.It's wild to me that such context (experimental shields allowing the hyperspace ram) is just absent from the movie and is found with the book.
The EU (the new EU, that is) is required to understand a lot of plot points:It's wild to me that such context (experimental shields allowing the hyperspace ram) is just absent from the movie and is found with the book.
i would never undesrtand why people had a problem with Leia being able to use the fucking force?
Hm that's an interesting perspective. I saw it more as Luke helping her find her resolve than doing anything heroic. I didn't get that vibe from it. I wondered where she was gonna go in Ben's TIE fighter and when I saw it burning I took it as she was intending to give it all up to keep her worst fear from realizing. The buildup was the lightning, the Dagobah 3.0 moment, her killing Kylo Ren in a fit of rage, her angrily losing it in the training session and chopping trees down wantonly trying to hit the training orb, isolating herself from Finn and the others...IMO anyway.Insignificant in the context of the film. It has no build up and no real payoff. He don't see her despair, we don't see her decide to give up, we don't see her struggle with doing the right thing and we don't see her steel her resolve. Instead we get sort of rough descriptions and vague allusions to these events. If anything the moment is framed more as a hero moment for Luke, triumphantly raising an Xwing, than it is as a significant moment for Rey.
They did the bare minimum to check of the box.
THR: Since the soundtrack on Tatooine is titled "A New Home," is Rey now living on Tatooine even though it's a return to the isolation she suffered on Jakku?
Chris Terrio: I can say with confidence that neither the screenplay nor the film suggest that Rey is going to live alone on Tatooine. The track names on the soundtrack were at the discretion of the master himself, John Williams. I can't presume to say what John meant when he titled the piece "A New Home," but I can say that Rey's arc over three films has to do with her finding the belonging she seeks with the new family she's found inside the Resistance. The very last thing Rey would do after all that is to go and live alone in a desert. In our thinking, Rey goes back to Tatooine as a pilgrimage in honor of her two Skywalker masters. Leia's childhood home, Alderaan, no longer exists, but Luke's childhood home, Tatooine, does. Rey brings the sabers there to honor the Skywalker twins by laying them to rest -- together, finally -- where it all began. The farthest planet from the bright center of the universe, but a beautiful and peaceful place to bury two sacred objects.
Ooo I didn't realise Finn might be Force-sensitive. Makes the 'That's not how the force works" scene even funnier lol
The Snoke in a jar was a perfect explanation for that character for me.
