if you would join us hey guys how's it going today so JJ Abrams long promised
that the rise of Skywalker would bring all 9 Star Wars movies together and make
them feel like a cohesive trilogy and while it could have done much more you
know I kind of feel like this one ties the last three sequels very very nicely
however tying the last nine films I feel like there could have been a couple
little tweaks here there that would have really brought it all together very
cohesively the film boasted the return of Emperor Palpatine the return of the
Sith the final victory of the Jedi and the final redemption of Luke Skywalker
most significantly though it was the return of many prequel characters unseen
since episode 3 and the Clone Wars and rebels cartoons during Rey's training
under Princess Leia one of rays main goals is to connect with the Jedi of
ages past she pleads with them to be with her but feels no guidance from them
how can they not help her when she's the last of the Jedi despite feeling alone
rape her severes and keeps fighting until she gets to the throne of
Palpatine there he uses darkside powers to suck the life force from her and been
thus regenerating himself to full power their combined energy essentially
resurrects the Lord of the Sith at this moment Rey and Ben have had virtually
all their force energy sucked out of them and Ben tries to get up and fight
but Palpatine force pushes him into a hole just as the last Skywalker did to
him in Episode six Rey meanwhile can barely move as Palpatine disables every
rebel ship on the planet and destroys the light side for good defeat is
certain and hope is lost the only thing ray can do is plead one more time for
the Jedi to be with her because if all the Sith have returned then it will take
all the Jedi to defeat them it's here that her patience and perseverance
finally pays off she has shown herself worthy of the Jedi having completely
cast off any vestiges of the Sith heritage that courses through her veins
maybe this is why they never spoke to her or maybe they didn't feel she was
worthy enough yet she hears all the voices of the Jedi past that have any
connection with Emperor Palpatine speaking to her from the netherworld of
the force she closes her eyes and hears the voices of Jedi not just from the
sequels prequels and original but even Star Wars animated series such as
the Clone Wars and rebels she hears Jedi encouraging her to find the light ray
you're not alone ray alone never have you been let it guide you as it guided
us fuel the force flowing through you rise ray we stand behind you Ray so
which Jedi are saying all of these things and you all know I'm extremely
excited that Anakin's voice was actually in the movie of course I would have
liked for him to be there in the Blooey flesh as a force ghost but at least we
got his voice man well the first voice is you and McGregor as obi-wan Kenobi
saying these are your final steps ray rise and take them this is a reference
to the force awakens when we hear his voice at the end of the visions that she
sees after she touches Anakin's lightsaber in maz kanata's castle there
he says these are your first steps with Alec Guinness his voice thrown in there
with you and to say the name Rey but McGregor isn't the only prequel
voice we hear there's Liam Neeson as qui-gon jinn who's one of my favorite
Jedi telling ray every Jedi who ever lived lives in you as well as Samuel
Jackson as mace windu which was a big surprise to me because I was like what
how did he learn to become a force ghost but I guess I can cover that in a video
I mean we don't know yet for sure in Cannon but there are answers and legends
especially considering as to how Anakin did it so quickly and if you're
wondering as to how and it can did it so quickly which is how I think mace and
the others might have done it to is I've well made several videos on this in the
past couple years ago but I'll just reiterate it here for those of you who
haven't seen that video basically Anakin's dying as he's looking at Luke
and just before he's about to just completely die his force essence is just
gonna go back to the universe and his consciousness will completely go forever
obi-wan communes with him through the force because what he did it was such a
light side thing you know sacrificing his life to defeat the Emperor bring
balance to the force kill the last Sith and of course bring
himself back to the light as Anakin Skywalker and save his son so obi-wan
tells Anakin Tube listen up really quick and Anakin's like oh mom how are you
doing this know everyone gets very snappy with him he's like look we don't
have much time if you do not listen to me quickly you will cease to exist
entirely so listen up do what I tell you and you'll become a force ghost so
like doesn't in that split second and then that's how Anakin became a force
ghost now I don't know how they're gonna do it now in the new Canon but this was
the old legends information material from there's a really old legends book I
believe it was called the rise and fall of Darth Vader adlib a pink cover it was
a good book but anyways in there it explains how this actually happened so
it would lead me to assume that maybe this is how mace windu also became a
force ghost and ahsoka well we don't really know how his so could died but we
at least know that she died unless she was commuting to Rey from somewhere
distant in the galaxy but I highly doubt that so all of these people are
obviously dead qui-gon was the first one to become a force ghost through the
force as just a voice because he didn't actually learn how to bring his body
into the whole thing until just before episode 4 a new hope where we learn in
the Canon novel from a certain point of view that he does actually become this
physical shape of who he used to be and he's telling obi-wan then how you can do
this small but it was qui gonn who initially learned how to do this and
then he transferred his knowledge to Yoda after his death and this is why an
attack of the clones in Episode two we're going really off topic here but
this is interesting how an attack of the clones in Episode two we hear qui-gon
Zeus when Anakin kills the Tusken Raiders in his fit of rage after they
killed his mother because that moment wasn't supposed to happen and qui-gon
saw it as terrible and he's just screaming through the force to the point
where Yoda can now actually hear it and it makes me wonder if Anakin never heard
it too and Mesa says feel the force flow through you ray we also hear the
familiar voice of Yoda saying alone never have you been okay so given the
word order it was obvious who was saying that finally at the end we hear the
emphatic Luke Skywalker saying Rey the force will be with you always
besides all the live-action voices there are other Clone Wars and rebels voices
to Jennifer Hale as Twi'lek Jedi Aayla Secura and she also appeared in attack
of the clones and Revenge of the Sith where she was killed in order 66
who says let it guide you as it guided us adi Galia and Luminara Unduli throw
in some words of encouragement as well we also hear Kanan Jarrah sang in the
heart of a Jedi lies her strength and even here ahsoka tano simply say
the light find the light this of course means that a Sokka is dead by this point
which may explain why she's not in the sequel trilogy at all
rumor has it is that we will get a sequel to the rebels show which will
probably explain what happens to her and her search for Ezra I imagine that we'll
also learn in that show how Palpatine returns since Ezra went to the Unknown
Regions where the SIF planet x-- ago is perhaps that's where he went wrong end
up right so back to the voices there is one more and maybe you thought I forgot
but really I just wanted to say the best one for last the most important prequel
voice that we hear is that of Hayden Christensen and Anakin Skywalker who
finally makes a return to Cannon as the chosen one now I think one of the things
that could have really made this film tie-in all nine movies because to me it
just kind of felt like it tied in the last three films the sequel trilogy
however one thing that they could have done that would make it just feel very
cohesive even more cohesive would be to bring him back as a force ghost but
unfortunately didn't get that we only got to hear his voice but we heard it
very loud and clear begging rey to bring back the balance
Rey as I did he also says the force surrounds you Rey after she hears all
these voices and gathers her strength Palpatine cackles I am all thus if as he
levels his final attack against her but Rey responds like a true Jedi and says
and I am all Jedi kind of like an Iron Man moment from endgame then she makes
his face melt off like Raiders of the Lost Ark which might have been a nod to
George Lucas who knows now that we know who all the voices are I want to know if
you were disappointed we only get voices rather than force ghosts I was really
disappointed in that sense I really wish we got to see them I feel like I just
would have made the story all that much more cohesive however at least we got to
hear their voices and that for me was a big up so I'm happy we got that at the
very least would you guys have liked to see all the Jedi come to her aid or do
you think that would have cheapened raised personal victory over her
grandfather I know a lot of Rey fans loved the wait ended but I'm an anakin
fan and I would have loved for it to end with him coming back in
the Blooey flesh and the force ghost however that being said was there
another Jedi that you would have liked to have heard ki-adi-mundi or Blow Coon
or someone else now something that could have been kind of cool was if we would
have heard malls voice in this now hear me out his Redemption is hinted at in
rebels when he dies that would have been pretty crazy as Sam Witwer explained
balls death ended the same way that quaggans death ended in OB ones arms and
he says trained the chosen one essentially it's very poetic like that
anyway so it's a bit of a stretch to hear malls voice however it's just a
thought after all no one hates idiots more than malls so really he would not
be too far of a stretch I guess but also of course he's the Sith so why would he
live on the force it wouldn't really make sense at all anyways dude there's
just my brain doing its thing I have tons of questions and I hope we get some
answers revealed and canon information however of course it would be nice if a
lot of this stuff was revealed in the movie but that just leaves more content
to cover later in the future hope you have an awesome rest of your day
I'll see you in the next video and until then remember the force will be with you
you
