the dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
welcome back everyone it's Charlie these are going to be my Star Wars
rise of Skywalker Easter eggs hopefully you've had a chance to see the movie
we're doing a new round of that Star Wars merge giveaway because they finally
have baby Yoda merch on sale all you have to do to enter is be a subscriber
and leave your favorite Easter Egg from the movie on the video big spoiler
warning if you have not seen the movie yet because we'll be talking about all
the details the end of the movie everything starting with number 20 the
opening crawl there's so much information and plot that they convey in
that opening crawl the message that it references that Palpatine sent out is
actually something that you could have only seen inside fortnight there was a
special fortnight integration that the Star Wars people did where they
broadcast Palpatine's message within fortnight so you actually had to play
fortnight to watch the clip of Palpatine revealing himself to the galaxy that he
was back but the other big easter egg within the opening crawl is that it
refers to Palpatine as a phantom who has returned as in a call back to the
Phantom Menace The Phantom Menace title was about Palpatine in the Sith coming
back next big one the planet where kylo Ren found the Sith wayfinder at the
beginning of the movie is just part of the opening sequence is on mu stefarr if
that wasn't clear obviously we've been there a couple times before during
Revenge of the Sith I have the high ground and also during rogue one where
we saw Darth Vader's castle that he later built after he became Darth Vader
the Sith wayfinders themselves are actually based on the classic Sith
holocrons from the comics in the expanded materials once kylo Ren gets Expogol
Palpatine reveals that Snoke has been a
clone this whole time there's a giant tank full of smokes so a lot of the
deformities you can chalk up to cloning heirs because the ones that are just
chilling out in the tank kind of seem like rejects like these were failed
attempts to clone Snoke and the one that we saw during last Jedi was just the
most recent successful attempt or semi successful there's also a line of
dialogue from Palpatine where he says the darkside leads to abilities that
others may consider unnatural a reference to the Palpatine conversation
at the Opera with Anakin back during Revenge of the Sith have you ever heard
the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise well
we go to the Millennium Falcon with Finn Poe in Chewbacca there playing a game
of Dejarik on the board just like during a new hope when Rey is training
with her lightsaber on the obstacle course
she's a similar fighting style to Emperor Palpatine a lot of people
noticed this back during last Jedi and even earlier when she was swinging his
saber around her style seems amazingly similar to the style the Emperor
Palpatine used during Revenge of the Sith in his lightsaber fights the combat
remote that she's using is the same one that Luke used on the Millennium Falcon
during a new hope and there her levitating the rocks and herself is also
a callback to Empire Strikes Back when Luke was training with Yoda she tries to
communicate with four spirits which they then bring back at the end of the film
that's almost like a whole separate video I'll talk about some of the
biggest cameos but there were over 25 different Jedi cameos in that scene when
she says I am all the Jedi when they go to the festival at the desert of persona
c-3po says it takes place every 42 years it is now in real life 42 years after
the debut of Star Wars a new hope Lando Calrissian says I got a bad
feeling about this they revealed there's a whole deleted subplot with his
character being the father of Janna and her being this long-lost child who was
stolen by the first order but they had to get rid of it because they didn't
have time for it in the movie they're going to cover it in one of the novels
but if you thought that Jonah was Lando's daughter you are correct
she is the brand-new droid do that shows up on the Jedi hunter ship is voiced by
JJ Abrams the director then when they fall down into the caves and Rey uses
her for stealing on that giant sandworm for stealing is actually an ability that
showed up during the games in some of the expanded material and now has also
shown up on one of the TV shows no spoilers for the TV shows if you have
not been keeping up with the brand-new live-action TV shows one of the next big
cameos is during Cugini when they go into that bar John Williams himself the
composer who's done the music for all the Star Wars films is the bartender he
has a bunch of face prosthetics on but he's pretty identifiable when they try
to read the Sith wayfinder they have to wipe c-3po s mind the last time he got
his mind wiped was at the end of the prequels somebody wiped those two droids
minds even though technically he gets his memory back by the end of the film
they find out that they had to go back to the second Death Star obviously
direct reference to Return of the Jedi the wreckage but she uses a special
knife in the map to find a special room next to the Emperor's throne they
try to linger a lot when she's walking around the imperial throne room because
later in the movie Emperor Palpatine says you could be Empress Palpatine so
they wanted you to have that image in your mind remembering her on that second
Death Star near the throne when she sees the dark version of herself that's
obviously just a forced vision but she's using a double bladed lightsaber just
like the temple guards from the animated series a lot of people wondering about
that weird hinge that's actually something that has shown up in Star Wars
before when she enters the Emperor's throne room on that Death Star they also
start playing John Williams original score from Return of the Jedi
when Rey goes back to auch - it's meant to be a bit of a mirror for Luke
Skywalker going to auch - and getting rid of his x-wing by bearing it in the
water Rey tries to destroy the TIE fighter
then just like Luke tossed Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber over his shoulder
she tries to toss it into the fire to destroy it we see his force ghost for
the first time in the movie he catches it letting you know that force ghost can
physically interact with the real world but they also give him a joke about the
opening scene of last Jedi referencing that when he says you should respect the
weapon of a Jedi when she finally gets it together Luke lifts his old
x-wing out of the water just like Yoda and they play Yoda's theme song from
John Williams Wallis happening when rain kylo Ren fight she winds up killing him
then healing him and taking off in his Thai fighter
kylo Ren then slowly turns back into Ben's solo but now without the efforts
of Leia who's projecting herself in creating this vision of Han Solo so part
of the reason why Han Solo was standing here talking to him and they do the big
callback to the Starkiller base in the moment that he killed him referencing a
lot of that stuff it's actually Leia that's making this happen when he's
talking to Han Solo though he gets ready to say dad I love you but Han Solo as
you would expect stops him short and says I know direct reference to Empire
Strikes Back when Leia said I love you when the final battle begins and all the
ships jump into the planet around X goal in the Imperial fleet with their new
Star Destroyers are rising up their classic imperial star destroyers not the
new first-order ones the reason why they're so dangerous is because they've
been retrofitted with miniaturized versions of the Death Star laser you
zoom in the 30 years since Return of the Jedi they found a way to miniaturize
that technology there are a bunch of cameos during the
scene they bring back older wedge antilles from the original series where
he calls in Rey is also flying read five Luke Skywalker's original x-wing within
the giant fleet though that giant shot you see in the trailer the ghost from
Star Wars rebels shows up there's really pretty much every type of ship you've
ever seen in the Star Wars movie or any of the TV shows showing up in that fleet
there's even a ship that looks a little bit like the Razorcrest down here from
the Mandalorian although no confirmation that any kind of Mandalorian stuff is
happening during rise of Skywalker I know everybody wants to know where's
baby Yoda apparently not in the movie that's where when they start to fight
Emperor Palpatine he says to Ben solo you two shall fall just as I once did
and literally throws him down the hole like he got thrown down a hole by Darth
Vader speaking of Palpatine when he talks
about cloning and transferring his essence like Rey has to kill him he'll
enter her body and she will become the future of the Sith Empress Palpatine or
he'll just straight-up take over her body if she doesn't wanna have anything
to do with it that's a direct reference to a lot of the expanded material
especially the dark empire comics there was a subplot where he tried to clone
himself and would enter new bodies every time he died but also during that
storyline Leia was pregnant with her twins that she had in the comics in the
expanded universe Palpatine was also planning on transferring his force
essence into the unborn child in Leia's womb that's why he was so interested in
Leia during that comic book so he's basically telling Rey the same thing I'm
going to enter your body and either you're going to take over or I'm going
to take over you this is lightning that he uses to destroy a lot
of the fleet is also something from the dark empire comic where he uses what you
would call super lightning to destroy a bunch of ships in space Rey is also able
to deflect the Lightning back on to him just like mace windu did using the light
sabers but also when this is happening you start to hear a chorus of Jedi cameo
voices coming back to the movie I might do a separate video for all of them
because there were so many they're over 25 but here are some of the biggest ones
Hayden Christensen came back as Anakin Skywalker telling her bring balance to
the force as I once did Luminara comes back ahsoka tano comes back JJ Abrams
even hinted that she was coming back earlier turns out it was as a voiceover
cameo meaning that she's dead we'll have to talk about that too at some point
because when did ahsoka die samuel l.jackson
comes back as mace windu and then two different versions of obi-wan Kenobi
both Ewan McGregor's version and they bring back the Alec Guinness
version you all probably heard Yoda's voice and they bring back Liam Neeson as
qui-gon jinn one of the first people in the movies that started talking about
becoming a force ghost and learning that ability even though technically he
himself never fully learned how to do it they dressed a lot of that during the
animated Clone Wars series where he helps teach Yoda how to become a force
ghost so that when he eventually dies during Return of the Jedi
he becomes a force ghost I know that a lot of questions about force ghost
because Ben solo gives the rest of his life force to bring Rey back because she
dies so he gives the last of his life force she comes back but she doesn't
have enough to top him back up so he winds up dying and then disappears
turning into a force ghost himself a long time ago the rule used to be you
actually had to specially-trained with people to learn how to become a force
ghost but when all Jedi's die their life force transfers back into the greater
living force but when you learn to become a force ghost you essentially
learn how to retain your identity when you become pure energy like that they
have their big celebration just like at the end of each different Star Wars
trilogy it wouldn't be a Star Wars trilogy if they didn't have a giant
party all over the galaxy at the very end they even go back to Endor and show
you a couple a walks one of them being played by Warwick Davis himself who
played wicked during Return of the Jedi when Rey goes back to Tatooine and the
large family moisture farm to bury the lightsabers she sits on a piece of metal
and slides down the embankment just like she did at the beginning of force
awakens while the Rey theme song plays she buries Luke and Leia's lightsabers
which they kind of explained earlier in the film Leia at one point did train to
be a Jedi made a lightsaber but short of completing her training since that Ben
Solo had been tempted by the dark side in the fact that her son could fall just
shook her so badly she had to stop and gave Luke her lightsaber for a later
time they confirmed that there's been a bit of a time jump because she's had the
timed we see to create a new lightsaber at which he pulls out ignites we find
out that the blade is yellow and also the hilt is made from pieces of her
staff but the other big thing that's happening is while she's bearing these
lightsabers and having that moment where she calls herself a Skywalker seeing
Luke and Leia's force ghost is that the soundtrack is playing right now the
theme song is named a new home as in is this going to be Rey's new home will she
go live on Tatooine because she seems to like the desert so much no confirmation
on that but the idea is that she has the Jedi text so she's probably going to be
making a new jedi temple of her own seeking out other force people which
includes finn who is force sensitive during this movie JJ Abrams just came
out in the past couple of days and said the thing that Finn was trying to tell
Rey throughout the movie but couldn't was that he was force sensitive and was
feeling things through the force like several times he feels what's happening
to her but he's very very far away no idea how powerful he is but he is for
sensitive and could train to become a Jedi after a rise of Skywalker I'm sure
there's a billion more Easter eggs that they try to cram in they tried to make
it as fanservice e as possible including as much stuff as possible so if they're
any big easter eggs that you spotted that I didn't include in my video just
write them below in the comments the Mandalorian episode 8 is going to be the
