hey guys how you doing this is my new puppy she's been kind of going crazy
been trying to record this video over the last hour so I figured I'd just hold
her a little easier so do you think Palpatine was stronger in episode 9
versus episode 3 no yeah no it's definitely not so I always thought that
Palpatine was actually weaker in episode 9 versus episode 3 however it's now been
sort of confirmed I know it upsets you - it's me I know sort of confirmed by
Lucasfilm themselves by Matt Martin who is the lead a story group guy on
Lucasfilm for Lucasfilm that Palpatine actually was strongest in the rise of
Skywalker which it actually really bugs me you know because his death was so
quick and sudden sort of and it was just a death that we've seen or at least a
inflicted injury that we've seen so many times before you know the lightning
being ricocheted back by a lightsaber we've seen it with Dooku and obi-wan
we've seen it with mace and Palpatine it's just like this constant is just
this thing that shouldn't Palpatine should know by now right so someone on
Twitter asks him power-wise how does episode 9 stay as stack up to his
Revenge of the Sith incarnation weaker stronger equal and Matt Martin goes to
say at the end of the rise of Skywalker after he gets the power from Ray and Ben
he seems more powered up than ever so while Matt didn't work on episode 9
of course he is one of the lead guys on the story group so he has more access
than any of us when it comes to story details this for me you know I
this was my fear was that Palpatine was actually going to be stronger in Episode
nine it just kind of makes me wonder like does that mean possibly Rey is
stronger than Yoda because she was able to hold on to the lightsaber
whereas in Episode three Yoda wasn't it just got blasted out of his hand and
episode 9 Palpatine was stronger it's just I want to see a lot of things
answered you know and then I have nothing against Rey you know I think
sure training should be shown in the films however I feel like - there should
be no shadow of a doubt that Yoda is more powerful than pretty much
any Jedi that ever existed so to have this sort of illusion that you know she
gets to hold whether all the Jedi were powering through her or not she gets to
hold the saber which if they were which I believe they were it should have been
shown in a more prevalent manner a more obvious manner where they all you know
show up behind her in the flesh which is apparently what was supposed to happen
according to rumors but you never know how true those are so if that's the case
then it's kind of a bummer now onto the topic of how Palpatine became so
powerful well he you know it was a diet and the force rayon and Ben they he
sucked their life essence and then he became more powerful than he was before
so Palpatine is fully back to power now he's revitalized more powerful and ever
according to Matt Martin and I might be reading too much into the tweet but hey
that's kind of what I do here that's what we nerds do so that being said I
feel like him at full power an hour or really a new power a new level of power
it kind of undermines all of the previous fights that he's had in the
prequels at least undermines those other characters that he went against such as
mace windu and Yoda and as I said with a lightsaber thing now I understand that
all the Jedi were powering Rey I do feel like he should have been conveyed a lot
more visually obvious that they're they're not just voices kind of like
they're all just behind her I've said it a million times there's outstretched
hands or something or they're touching her shoulder and just you know funneling
that power through her that would have been sick that would have made sense to
me but the way they did it was just very quick and it just it didn't sit well at
the end of the day now that he is more powerful than ever I feel like there
should be some sort of explanation as to why he died so quickly what happens when
you get hit when you when you're in this loop of lightning versus a lightsaber
can you not stop if you stop will it ricochet some run to the walls will it
come back on to you what happens that's my concern that's
what I want to know now when the emperor died in Return of the Jedi it was said
in the novelization that his hatred was so strong that he was focused so much on
Vader's betrayal that he was just unleashing his force lightning and
didn't really realize what was going on the fact that he was about to be thrown
into this well into this the depths of the Death Star and died what she didn't
I originally thought that this and and one reason why I found a lot of comfort
in his return was because I was like this isn't really Palpatine this is a
different form of Palpatine it's not really him it's just a weaker version
it's not Revenge of the Sith Palpatine you know because he said I've died
before it means that okay well if he's died then that means he wasn't just you
know like kind of knocked out he was full-on dead and then resurrected how
was resurrected I think maybe by those SIF cultists that we see in the stands
now those guys are pretty interesting they're not force users or anything as
indicated at the by the visual dictionary for episode 9 by Pablo
Hidalgo but they are these SIF cultists so they're basically fanatics about SIF
and I'm sure they must have done something to resurrect Palpatine in the
same way that mother Talzin you know enhanced savage oppresses
powers or brought back Maul and you know fixed his his psyche and all that stuff
there must be something else going on here
some Sith magic as I I don't know as the character's name or the actor's name
unfortunately but the guy who played in Lord of the Rings in this movie he says
you know how did he return Pope says how did you return and that guy says you
know CITIC or SIF in cloning or whatever SIF cloning cloning or SIF magic
something like that just kind of lazily throwing it out there which I guess
they're gonna answer from what I hear in Mandalorian Season 2 which would be
pretty cool tie-in but I would like for all the answers to be answered in the
film versus having to seek you know other sorts of media and outlets and
things like like shows and comics but of course from a marketing perspective it
ties it all into the universe which is more fun
and more lucrative as well for the company that owns it so that being said
I'm not really a fan of Palpatine being stronger more you know stronger than
ever but it is what it is I mean you know Rey was powered through all the
Jedi it wasn't just her alone now if the same thing were to happen with Ben's
solo or Anakin Skywalker someone to come in there and destroy Palpatine all by
themselves I would still have a problem with it so it has anything to do with
the character it's the way it was handled I feel like all the Jedi should
have appeared behind her and then they would have empowered her which would
have then you know destroyed the saber destroyed Palpatine
but you know helping her hold the saber intact so yeah I mean I'm not too much
of a fan of this I want to know what you guys think below do you think Matt
Martin even though he didn't work on episode 9 do you think we should hold
this as true canon or do you think she'd just you know take it as a grain of salt
it was something that me he just like any other fan would say and not hold him
in a position of you know because he's who he is I'm on the fence about I think
he obviously knows a lot more than any of us because he's in the position that
he's in so for him to say that he must know something and yeah but at the end
of the day it is where it is so I don't know man like I mean if I could have
gone back and redone the sequels I would have changed so many things around and
done a lot of things differently obviously carries untimely death we
won't ever get back but I would have definitely put Luke Han and Leia in one
scene together at least just one scene because this is the story of Skywalker
to me this feels like the story of Ray it really does I mean if they renamed
the sequel trilogy Rey a Star Wars story it would make sense but it's supposed to
be the Skywalker saga and it didn't really feel like that I think I would
have enjoyed Colin Trevorrow script a lot more if that would have actually
happened because it would have seen you know what the thing is with the sequel
trilogy it feels claustrophobic to me you know
what I mean it feels like it feels forgettable the prequels and originals
don't feel forgettable and those have stood the test of time 20
40 years I've already forgotten about the sequels I'm focused on the
Mandalorian I'm focused on the Clone Wars I'm focused on the obi-wan show
coming and focused on all the other things that we're about to get but with
the sequels Adam I'm not a sequel basher I really enjoyed episode 7 and I enjoyed
episode 9 sure they could have all been better the prequels could have been
better originals sure could have been better
too there's always room for improvement but that doesn't mean that you can't
enjoy certain aspects of films there are a lot of unanswered questions that I
would like to be answered and I wish they would have been answered in the
film but it is what it is I want to know you guys think about this do you think
Palpatine truly was stronger than episode 3 Sidious or do you think you
know he's just maybe a different version of himself but he was brought back and
in the in the essence in the in the production or process of him being
resurrected there were some powers that were lost or some form of him that
wasn't the same as before I'm speculating theorizing but we have it
plain as plain and simple right here so lemon where you guys think thanks for
watching this video I catch you in the next one
have a great day may the force be with you
