10Luke Skywalker Had Complicated Feelings
Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Luke Skywalker ’s case in theStar Warssequel trilogy was unsatisfying .
Yes , many were disappointed to see that Luke had fallen so far from the height he ’d reached at the end ofReturn of the Jedi , but the secret plan line begun inStar Wars : The Force Awakensand keep inStar Wars : The Last Jediisn’t as gross as it ’s made out to be . While Luke ’s decision to withdraw from the galaxy might have been incongruent with his optimistic , wide - eyed farm male child characterization in the original trilogy , plenty had happened sinceReturn of the Jedito change him .
The most prominent argument against this character development for Luke is that he had believed in Darth Vader ’s goodness , so it made no sense for him to abandon the galaxy and lose faith . However , pull through the galaxy and redeeming his father just to see history retell itself is more than a footling discouraging , and it ’s sensible that in the look of a novel evil rise again , in particular within his own mob , he would think there was no hope .

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker
TheStar Warssequel trilogy received significantly more passion forStar war : The emanation of Skywalkerthan it did forThe Force AwakensorThe Last Jediand , at times , for good reason . Arguably the biggest controversy to come out of the sequels was the shocking Apocalypse that Emperor Palpatine had survived his evenfall down the reactor quill and returned as little more than a zombie . However , while the execution was forged , the idea that Palpatine would return is n’t that unrealistic .
Palpatine made clear to Anakin inStar war : Episode III - Revenge of the Siththat he was intrigued by the idea of immortality . After all , that is in part why he told Anakin about Darth Plagueis and his power to prevent others from dying . Yes , Palpatine wanted to win over Anakin that he could save Padmé via the sour side , but this was also an interest group of Palpatine ’s specifically . It ’s therefore not that hard to imagine that in the near twenty yr betweenRevenge of the SithandA New Hope , he would have picture out a way of life to immortality .
Moreover , Darth Maul has also proved that a reactor shaft need not be the end of a quality ’s report , and his demise was much clear ( or so it seemed ) than Palpatine ’s . Of course , Rise of Skywalkerdid itself no favour by simply having Poe Dameron say,“Somehow , Palpatine returned,“but it nevertheless was believable that Palpatine would have had this trick up his sleeve . for sure , Star Warscould have put forth a much more compelling subsequence trilogy villain , but this objective does at least make common sense .

Star Wars: The Acolyte

For as great as that reunification was , though , the show became bogged down in criticisms in the main pertaining to one key alternative in particular . Ahsokahad made Sabine Wren , who previously showed little to no Force predisposition , a Jedi Padawan to Ahsoka .
Ahsokahad made Sabine Wren , who antecedently showed fiddling to no Force sensitivity , a Jedi Padawan to Ahsoka .
While this was somewhat out of left subject field in short ofStar Wars Rebels , it was also in keep back with George Lucas ' linear perspective on the Force . As made clear as early back asA New Hope , the Force exist in all things and binds sprightliness together . The Force does not just belong to the Jedi , and it ’s certainly not only the Jedi who can exert it .
