Palpatine somehow returning is something I would have written when I was 7
@tykekai3555
It's both an insult and a meme that Rey buries Anakin's lightsaber in SAND.
@terragthegreat175
These movies could have been about ANYTHING. That's what gets me. They could have literally done anything with these movies and THIS is what they chose to go with.
@KevyNova
I’ll never get over the fact that they had Mark, Carrie, Harrison, Billy Dee, Anthony and the whole cast available and willing and THIS is what they came up with.

@purplehaze2358
You have to appreciate how Palp’s force lightning is so strong that it either annihilated or disabled hundreds or even thousands of ships simultaneously, but Rei could deflect it with two lightsabers.
@SchaffrillasProductions
While watching this video, I actually completely forgot that Palpatine made Snoke and kept thinking "Yeah, it is really weird how they never explained where Snoke came from." Cool that such a heinously terrible movie could also be so forgettable.
@spongebobfan190
1:05:46 It's worth mentioning that Leia had a traumatic moment on Tatooine too: She was taken hostage and used as sex slave by a crime lord who just so happened to be a large slimy slug (not that it would've been any less traumatizing if Jabba were human, but a sex slave for a slug is quite disturbing). And you could mention that the sabers were buried near the same house where Luke found the charred remains of his aunt and uncle. Nothing good ever came out of the Skywalker family when they were on Tatooine, and the writers of the sequels clearly missed all of that. But if you were to talk about every inconsistency with the writing of this trilogy, this video would be another hour or two.
@darkwoods1954
My main problem is how it undermines everything from the original movies, just so they can repeat it all again. The Empire didn't fall, just re-branded. The Jedi didn't return. The rebels just carried on being rebels living on forest moons. Han went back to being a smuggler. Even Palpatine didn't die! The original movies and characters now accomplished nothing! Just so a lazy disney could repeat the same story rather than evolve the universe and have to be imaginative and creative.
@randyjax09
It still blows my mind that they had no underlying story arc planned for the billion dollar sequel trilogy. The people in charge at Disney & Lucasfilm aren’t just negligent, they are grossly incompetent.
@Jayfett123
When I heard Rey say "I'm Rey Skywalker" I was not only baffled about how stupid these movies could be, but I also thought, in the theater why criticize these movies when they just criticize themselves
@ctchulk
The people that say, "oh people didn't like the prequels when they first came out, just wait a few years and everyone will come around" fail to understand ALL OF THIS
@spinachgreens7179
We will never get Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, or Carrie Fisher in a Star Wars film again. Good job Disney
@jasonpapai73
The lightsaber calling to Rey was something that the producers consistently told us would be explained and make sense. In true JJ Abrams form, nothing is explained or makes sense.

@artofnocula
"What TFA didn't understand is these traits made him [Kylo] a fundamentally different character than Vader, when we were introduced to him, yet Kylo still occupies the same role." What a criminally good observation. Well done.
@DarthEvilicus
Remember folks: Harrison Ford only did TFA if they killed him off. JJ knew he would never be in another Star Wars. It was his decision to never reunite Han Luke and Leia. He is responsible for the biggest missed opportunity in cinematic history
@masamune2984
“Somehow Palpatine has returned” sounds like a writer’s temporary placeholder note in an early pass of the rough draft script, except they forgot to replace it with the actual final line of dialogue in the finished film.
@5FingerBallad
This is probably the most rational and detailed analysis of why everything went wrong with the sequels.
