Palpatine is confirmed to be a clone housing his spirit and it was slowly withering away forcing him on the machine.

Ironic how the main villain of the "sequel" trilogy is a decaying clone of the same villain shown almost 40 years ago. Kind of acts as a metaphor for the whole sequel trilogy...

So what's stopping him from back yet again? What if he just has an endless supply of clones he can download into? If that's the case neither Rey nor Anakin "killing" him had any point at all, he'd just keep coming back until someone gets rid of the clones. Keep in mind, cloning in Star Wars is so advanced you can make an army of perfect clones big enough to defend an entire galaxy. Christ, it's like playing the Operation Phoenix gag from Rick and Morty straight...

I don't know that his soul just wandered around and shoved itself into the clone. It sounds like his mysterious followers on Exegol did all of that for him, and now they're gone. Like any dignity this franchise had left.

The novelization also includes that Rey's father was not Palpatine's son, but a somewhat altered clone of him, who left to lead his own life.

See this is where it's going to get truly weird. There's going to be so much extended canon to try and fix this nonsense on film, right? Yet that in of itself is going to create a cluster because all of the extended material is now vetted as canon or it isn't published. And so, Disney is quite literally digging their own way out of a hole by digging another hole that might fall into the hole created by their own extended story group.

And people said keeping the EU of things that happened in between Ep VI and VII was an awful idea since it would bring a lot of baggage, baggage that will now be created with their inferior version of Heir to the Empire and other books, hell a worse version of Dark Empire is now canon.

Sounds like pointless retcon / addition.
It's like writers can't help but to overcomplicate things, when it is unneeded.

*Andrew NDB* · 03-04-2020, 10:24 PM

They could've at least given us a damn lightsaber battle with Rey and Palpatine, if going the Dark Empire route.

*Andrew NDB* · 03-13-2020, 02:37 AM

Bizarre marketing strategies continue on social media...

*Andrew NDB* · 03-21-2020, 02:47 AM

Terrible movie... not a bad video.

~~Sumac~~ · 03-21-2020, 03:41 AM

It is sad that all this enthusiasm and creativity went into...this thing.

On the one hand, JJ was struck with doing what he's never done, which is telling the end of a story adequately. He answer seemed to be throwing a whole ton of different story things at the camera in rapid succession and hoping nobody noticed that none of it actually meant anything.

Yes, this was his trial by fire. "Can JJ Abrams do a proper ending for something?" We've wondered this for years. We have our answer. And there can be due process for "maybe Kathleen Kennedy was over his shoulder and he kept saying 'yes!' 'yes!' 'yes!'" but this doesn't change much. He's quietly owned that he can't. Because he certainly didn't have to do this. He wasn't even supposed to do this.

*frank_one* · 03-21-2020, 04:49 AM

This trilogy sucks and JJ has directed 2 movies out of 3. Can we say he is at least half guilty?

Daisy Ridley says the Rise of Skywalker backlash was hard on her.

What is it with this cast, anyway?

It is sad, of course, but if you take part in a ****** movie with a passionate fanbase, what else do you expect?

It's not to say that some of the most rabid fanboys are justified in their crazy reaction, but still, do you expect being praised for taking part in something that is just not good?

*Andrew NDB* · 04-11-2020, 05:33 AM

"But reaction to the first one was so good? I don't understand."

Well, it's not hard to factor. You put out a trailer with Han and Chewie and feel good stuff. Then everything after that is bad... what did you think would happen? I think we can all imagine amazing ST movies with this same cast.

I mean, absolutely none of anything wrong with the ST is the fault of Ridley. But the way she funnels the reactions of things is very puzzling.

~~Sumac~~ · 04-11-2020, 06:47 AM

TFA was not bad.
It was bland and creatively bankrupt, but it was not a horrible movie, which tried to offend its own fanbase or rewrite previous movie out of existence.

All the Jedi live in her now...
