So I saw TRoS in theaters. I wasn't...mad. That Hux.....yeah. I'm mad at how it happened....they did my boy dirty.
I’ll come back for you sweetheart, I promise.
My artistic rendition of possibly the best scene in TROS. Watercolor and copic markers.
Half in Half (3/?)
Prompt: One half light, the other dark. Divided by your differences, your brother went from your other half to the man who killed your father. You once refused to lose hope, refused to let Ben go. With walls built around yourself, can Poe break them down?
Based off of: Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. Pairing: Poe Dameron x Solo!Reader Other parts: Force Awakens: one - two - three - four - five Last Jedi: one - two

it's been ages but I had to draw my darkside bb rey
Let me start by saying that I apologize for the coming post. I know a lot of people love the Star Wars sequel trilogy and characters, but I’m angry about this right now.
Disclaimer: This argument is based solely on the movies, NOT Resistance/comics/books/etc.!!
As a Star Wars fan, I am very disappointed in the sequel trilogy. There are many problems with it.
The fact that J.J. Abrams admitted that the trilogy would have been better if they had a plan
The three movies are not very cohesive in telling one story/there seems to be no one superior goal in mind to accomplish by the end of the trilogy
The characters development is nearly nonexistent and honestly pathetic
The characters had so much wasted potential
The amount of fan service was astounding and it still doesn’t make up for the other atrocities of this trilogy
The story wasn’t very compelling
Making money was the primary objective
There are many good things in the trilogy and things that I liked but overall it is my least favorite part of Star Wars. It makes me angry simply because its so repetitive and confusing.
Was Snoke a Sith Lord? If he was, why wasn’t it made clear to the audience in the movies he is supposed to be a major villain in? If he wasn’t, then bringing Palpatine back breaks the Sith Rule of Two. How did he rise to power? Who is he? Where was he throughout the franchise?
These are questions about one character, that anyone might have after just watching the movies.
Who formed the First Order and when? How did it become as powerful as the Empire? How was the New Republic reduced to almost nothing over a couple decades?
The storytelling is so incomplete. There are so many gaps and plot holes.
The antagonist across the trilogy is whiny, not very intimidating, has a poorly developed origin story, and questionable motives that are so vague that it is difficult to inderstand his reasoning and beliefs. In the end, he is redeemed only to die after some slight consideration and persuasion from the main protagonist. So he rethinks his entire life and trauma because a woman told him he could do better? That’s not how real disturbed people think…
The main villain of the third movie wasn’t even present (or even known to be alive) for the first two movies in the trilogy. The movie starts and all of the sudden “somehow…palpatine returned.” That’s it?? That’s the explanation? How did he survive? How did he get to Exegol? How did all of those star destroyers get on Exegol? The Empire was gone, his army was dismantled, few lotalists remained. Was he cloned? Because honestly, I’ve seen the movie several times and I’m still confused. It doesn’t make any sense.
Not only is Palpatine alive, but the main protagonist is his granddaughter. So much for ‘you don’t have to be somebody to be important, as long as you work hard, you can achieve anything.’ Now Rey has force abilities that she never had before (or that didn’t even exist in the franchise before this)?
Rey’s character is so tragic because she had so much potential and it was wasted. She was abandoned as a child and is forced to scavenge around dangerous wreckage to make a living supporting herself on one of the worst planets in the galaxy. Does she hold that against her parents? No, she hopes that her parents will come back for her. She gets anxious when she’s been gone for a while because she’s afraid they’ll finally come when she’s away. She never let herself become bitter or hateful. She was hopeful, innocent, and passionate. However, her character develops to make it her personal mission to take on the First Order and Kylo Ren if it’s the last thing she does and she’s plagued by stubbornness and self awareness of her power and strength as a Jedi.
This annoys me deeply. Her character never really progressed from this from TLJ to ROS either. It’s almost like its a different person from TFA Rey, despite TLJ immediately following TFA in the timeline.
I’d also like to point out that Poe’s character was also shit on by the writers, especially in ROS. For the first two and a half movies his entire character can be summed up as: I’m a hotshot flyboy; I want to fight no matter the consequences; I fly X-wings; I have an adorable droid that I am highly protective over. That’s it. And then, in ROS, suddenly its revealed that he was a former criminal and drug smuggler?? Poe? Poe Dameron?? What?
How about Finn’s character only being in the background to yell “REYYYY” whenever she puts herself in harms way (which is often). The amazing lightsaber duel against Kylo Ren? In which Finn held his own for a decently long time considering he had little to no training with a weapon of that kind against someone proficient in the ways of the dark side (which typically made force users more ruthless in their attacks)? Doesn’t matter. The hints of his force-sensitivity? What hints? Finn, a Jedi?? Hahaha, no.
Dont even get me started on Rose. Great backstory, sister sacrificed herself for the cause during a desperate hour and saved the day, but in doing so left her grieving sister behind. Beautiful. Rose was such a big part of TLJ’s plot and then she’s just kinda there for ROS...it’s sad. Not to mention the romance between Rose and Finn that was never developed??
You know what, all of the protagonists were done dirty, as well as their actors. It’s clear what Disney’s goal was: making money, and lots of it. How do we convince people to buy movie tickets/merchandise/toys/etc.?? Well, let’s cast some minority actors/actresses to make people think they’re going to be represented only for the white man‘s character to be the most developed by the end of the trilogy. Daisy Ridley (a woman), John Boyega (a Black man), Oscar Issac (a Latino man), and Kelly Marie Tran (an Asian woman) were cast as protagonists. And who got the most attention/praise/development? Adam Driver (a White man). Dont get me wrong, Adam Driver is a great actor and he did an amazing job with what he was given, but really?
Even the returning characters were poorly handled. Luke’s character development is controversial so I’ll stay away, but Han?? So they decided after ROTJ that Han was the type to leave his wife and son to travel with his best friend?? Uh ok
The sequel trilogy’s plot, if you can even say that, is so repetitive to the original trilogy it’s embarrassing. A force-sensitive main protagonist, whose parents abandoned them and left them to live on a desert planet to avoid the truth about their family heritage, met an old guy that was significant earlier in his life, went on a quest with him which effectively roped them into fighting the fascist dictatorship controlling the galaxy that they previously didn’t give a shit about, teamed up with an ex-imperial deserter along the way, was trained by a different old guy that was also significant earlier in his life but decided to exile himself and live in seclusion because some of his padawans were murdered by the Skywalker villain, learned the truth about their family and the darkness within their blood, became a great unofficial Jedi knight anyways, destroyed weapons capable of obliterating entire planets, and eventually defeated Palpatine by teaming up with the main Skywalker antagonist that sacrificed themselves to save the main protagonist’s life. Sound familiar?
It’s truly sad. If you look into George Lucas’ plan for the sequel trilogy before he sold Star Wars to Disney, you’ll find that it’s much better different from what we got and it is actually pretty similar to what The Mandalorian is trying to portray. (Maul was brought back from the dead to be the sequel trilogy’s big bad guy but we never got it)
And the movie ends here my dear friends. Time freezes right then and there. Nope, I don't accept criticism 🌷
literally one day till I see Star Wars and I get a spoiler from a edit thumbnail on YouTube that says “tros spoiler” THIS ISN’T EVEN ALOUD I WAS JUST LOOKING FOR AN ASMR VIDEO-
Honestly, as a Reylo shipper, I do get how it's toxic
I got so used to Fanon Kylo Ren/Ben Solo that I'm used to him actually learning how to be a good person and facing the consequences of his actions. There's a clearer depiction of his inner pain and conflict that made him so interesting to me.
If you're a casual viewer that doesn't read fanfic though, you don't get the same character development, you don't get that earned redemption. You get a cheap death and a forced kiss from two people who repeatedly tried to kill one another.
I fell in love with the potential of these characters and stayed in love with what wonderful artists and writers have done with them, not the actual canon.
So... we're all Anakin now
The Star Wars fandom right now.
I know that the odds were against it but I do hope we still get to see Naboo and Ewoks (whether or not the location is the Forest Moon of Endor).
But what if that not wreckage of the Death Star but either some sort of prototype for Starkiller or a ground based version of the Death Star. Doubt it but speculating is fun and gets new thoughts and ideas out there.
What if the planet seen in the trailer for TRoS is Naboo and not Yavin IV or the Forest Moon of Endor? Naboo is where the Sith revealed themselves again to the Jedi, Dooku in the TCW basically said that the Clone Wars started on Naboo, and even if it’s not Naboo what if they go back there and end this war where it started?
I can see the symbolism and call back you're getting at here, but the fact that the Death Star is there lends more credence to the theory that it's the forest moon of Endor. I wonder if they will encounter Ewoks there...
I have wanted to say this for awhile and now I’m going to say it.
By saying that Rey’s parents sold her into slavery to protect her in TRoS they went from drunks/addicts looking for their next fix that did something morally reprehensible for their addiction on one level or another we could understand that they were sick and while being sick didn’t justify or make them selling their daughter into slavery any less horrific we have real world examples of people doing horrible things that they normally wouldn’t do to feed their addictions.
Now instead of being addicts with a terrible, yet sadly understandable, excuse they knowingly and willfully sell their daughter into slavery to “protect” her from Sidious and those searching for her; knowing full well that she would be starved, beaten and might meet an early death due to mistreatment. It’s just as morally reprehensible as before the retcon without the understanding that they were sick and their addictions were more important than their child.
Honestly I prefer the alcoholic/drug addicts parents to the supposed noble parents that sacrificed themselves for her.
If they wanted to make her parents noble they SHOULD have had her parents leave her with another couple and after some time the couple she had been left with sold her for money to feed their addictions.
There, you have noble parents yet don’t make them horrible parents by having them be the ones that sold her into slavery.
I am not justifying addicts behavior in any way; just saying that when you’re addicted you do things that you normally wouldn’t do to feed it.
Anon, I have been a Star Wars Fan for years; at least since I was twelve and I will be 32 on my birthday so that twenty years, give a year or so and I left TRoS feeling gutted. It was like I imagine getting punched in the gut feels like.
I talked with my Mom, who knows about my obsession, because I was really upset and she helped me pit it in perspective: I have dedicated almost, if not slightly more than, twenty years to a franchise, naming two cats after my favorite characters, Mara and Ahsoka, read a ton of the Legends Books, I used to have almost two full shelves on my bookcase dedicated to just Star Wars before Disney bought Lucasfilm than I donated them to the Library Book Sale because emotionally I was done with Legends, especially after the LotF Series ended, so it wasn’t unexpected to feel disappointed in how the main series of movies ended.
Also my two younger brothers hate TRoS, never asked what they hated about it because I was still emotionally raw over it and felt that my Mom would appreciate us not grumbling over the ending of a movie on Christmas.
My older brother said that he liked it and mocked me ‘not wanting to talk about it’. I became so mad with him for not dropping the matter I wanted to throw my son’s baby food at him but instead fixed him with a death glare and finally answered his question about why I hated the movie.
Also at some point I yelled for my Mom because he was getting on my nerves.
You’re not alone Anon or anyone else that was dissatisfied with TRoS for whatever reason.
So, I'm a TLJ shipper. And after TROS, many of the longterm SW fans around me were pretty happy with TROS, while I felt gutted. So I wonder if maybe I'm not a SW fan after all, that I don't "get" SW? Maybe TLJ was the only SW movie for me because it was Rian (and I've loved all of Rian's other movies) writing the story, but SW might not be for me? I don't know. I've just been feeling the "You're not a real fan if you didn't cry when they showed Tatooine" pretty intensely
Given the Rotten Tomatoes score for this film is Certified Rotten at 52% (it went down since last time I looked at it a few weeks ago, it used to be 55%), I would say that most people with sense did not like this movie and you are by far the only one who didn’t ‘get’ it. People who think Star Wars is a series of nostalgic locations with no connective story tissue or context are not the people you should allow to gatekeep your SW experience.
The Tattoine scene is one of the shallowest things put to film and I wonder why any ‘true’ fan would think Tatooine was an appropriate place to ‘honor’ the Skywalkers when Anakin and his mother were enslaved here, Anakin watched his mother die there and slaughtered a whole village there, Luke’s aunt and uncle were murdered by the Empire there, and Han was held in carbonite there, and Leia was enslaved there. Even as it relates to Luke, Tatooine was the backwater hellhole he wanted to escape. That’s the actual purpose of the twin suns scene in ANH– Luke longing for adventure away from a planet of deadness and no opportunity. “If there’s a bright center to the galaxy, you’re on the planet that it’s farthest from.”
It sounds to me like anyone with an actual appreciation of what the Skywalkers went through on Tatooine would be horrified that TROS thinks this is some ‘beautiful’ resting place for them when it’s a place they all wanted to escape. Their blind obsession with nostalgia at the cost of character integrity doesn’t make them better fans than you.
The fact that TROS was a nostalgic circlejerk designed to appease redditbros who are more concerned about battleship trivia and hOw a rANdoM WOmAN CouLD bE So PoWERFul instead of telling a meaningful story that refreshed and rejuvenated the fanbase by moving forward away from the iconography of the past and inviting new fans in is their failure, not yours.
Am I a fake fan because I hate TROS?
I will call REYLO shippers as traitors if they don't change their profile pictures as "Reylo kiss scene" after December 18
Me after TROS. 😢
