Everything Wrong With the ENTIRE Star Wars Sequel Trilogy 

a sequel trilogy that can be summarized in 3 sentences: "a good question for another time", "that's not how the Force works" and "somehow Palpatine survived"

Disney's Star Wars made the most unforgivable sin: we will never get to see Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford together one last time as Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa and Han Solo.

Biggest downgrade in movie history

10:02 Not only is that the first time Han has ever shot Chewie's bowcaster, a bowcaster is canonically incapable of being fired correctly by a human due to it's immense recoil. It should have sent Han flying backwards

-That Lucas sold his IP. -That it was made without his input and direction. -Disney is the ruiner of franchises.

After what Disney did to Star Wars We're now living in an era of artistic bankruptcy

Imagine the sequel trilogy in the hands of competent directors and writers.

I feel for the cast, they really put their hearts into their roles and nailed their characters, if only they were given a better story with better dialogue.

They really didn't have to bring Luke back to make him some deranged hermit that almost killed his nephew because of a nightmare. He's just not Luke at that point.

Did you seriously take a sin off for "Rey Skywalker" at the end??? 1,000 sins for you.

The biggest problem I had is that the main hero, Rey, had ZERO character arch and has ZERO heroes journey. She starts and ends the trilogy as the most powerful person in any room and never evolved all that much as a person. She’s the best fighter. Best pilot. Strong in the force even thou she has very little training in it. Everyone likes her for no reason. She has zero temptation to the dark side even thou she’s the granddaughter of Palpatine for God sakes…..Why oh why was ANYONE supposed to root for her, again? She’s already perfect….Both Anakin and Luke struggle not only against external threats, but more importantly, internally. They struggle with what they want. Who they truly are and want to become and both fail numerous times throughout their journey. Both are very human heroes and the audience can connect with both and more importantly, want to see succeed. “Who are my parents” is NOT a character arch, Disney. And, am I the only one who finds it more than a little ironic that, a Palpatine descendant is now the owner of the Skywalker name………

Sin 1: the fact that it exist 😂

This series is worthy of having the longest cinemasins video of all time

Disney's Sequel Trilogy: *exists* Everyone to EU Legends: "Perhaps we treated you too harshly."

Honestly the biggest thing that pisses me off in this trilogy was the invention of the Sith Wayfinder when the Holocrons where right there.

Adding a sin to cinemasins for subtracting points for Ray doing cool force things, while ignoring that fact she has zero reference to do so.

What if JJ had the guts to out Rose as a mole in RoS? That one twist would explain Holdo’s secrecy, Rose’s insistence on tagging along on Finn’s mission (and derailing it by illegal parking and going after alien horses instead of the objective), and thwarting Finn’s run on the cannon on Krait.

In the first movie, Darth Vader needed a black ball droid thingy with a big needle to torture information out of Leia but by this time Rey and Kylo can easily read minds and literally will objects through inter-dimensional spacetime. In the next movie, Jedi will be able to fly at supersonic speed and shoot heat beams from their eyes.

This guy really had the balls to compliment the throne room fight scene

there's one sin you forgot: everyone is able to perfectly understand what BB8 is saying, despite the fact all I hear is 'beep, beep. boop.' and they don't explain WHY they can understand BB8. At least in the original trilogy, C-3PO translated for R2-D2.

Timestamp hints: 0:10 Chewie, we’re home. 16:52 No one’s ever really gone. 35:19 They fly now!

Disney has proven with it’s rendition of Star Wars that the current writers strike was indeed a good thing.

Ambitious. Surprised there is no 9 hour version. Alright, before anyone says it....there was Hope. Then it died. Jabba sat on it and suffocated it. There was so much potential.

The biggest sin is “Somehow Palpatine returned”

"It exists." sums it up in its entirety.

"Something Palpatine returned" is slowly become more legendary than "It's Morbin Time"

What happened to the “Knights of Ren”? I recall that being some plot point in the first movie but never touched on in the second or finale

Now do a mega sin video with all the Star Wars movies you’ve ever sinned combined

Feels like I've gotta sin cinemasins for not sinning the part where Rey should have died in the red guard fight but was saved by the editing room when they removed a guards weapon between cuts 😂

Nostalgia is a strong drug And Disney became the biggest dealer of all

Please tell me he did not take off 3 sins for "Rey... Rey Skywalker"

You seem to have subtracted 3 Sins for Rey pretending she is a Skywalker instead adding 100. 👎

Never forget this man called the throne room battle "well-choreographed"

What was missing was story, interesting characters, and talented writers.

The sequel triology is so painful to watch and many people start thinking the prequel triology is a masterpiece.

I'm surprised this video isn't a year long.

As for Leia naming her son after Kenobi, she did have a relationship with him as per the Kenobi series

2:55 lore wise this would totally happen as it happened a lot during the Battle of Hoth offscreen and plus she's on Jakku, where all of the Empire fought All of the Rebellion in canon 20:43 no actually stuff like Tibanna Gas is used for fuel and the TIE's wings are actually solar panels 21:04 hey runs in the family 21:12 no but it kills Admiral Ackbar in the most disappointing way possible 23:05 a cycle refers to a day on a planet since all planets have different lengths of days 38:08 Lightspeed is a form of transport that sends the ship into an alternate dimension or if space was a flat sheet hyperspace is under it so it is possible to run into objects in hyperspace if they are heavy enough, so Hyperspace lanes are marked out areas of space that are safe for travel without anything deadly in way so lightspeed skipping is plausible but them not dying is stupidly unlikely, however TIEs following them makes no sense since they don't have hyperdrives 43:07 All this did was remind me why the prequels are better because of course C3P0 wouldn't be allowed to say a language that a large religion forbids at the time as Jedi and Sith languages do exist by why a protocol droid of all things know what said language is if you don't want people to say it 46:18 I can never unsee the fact that the Knights of Ren's weapons look so fake here 48:30 Jeez once you notice that Ren doesn't even need to dodge because Rey isn't swinging at him this scene just looks stupid 49:46 Fun fact, all the star destroyers in this film are just scaled up models from Rogue One and that includes the windows and bridge 51:56 I may have shown that some parts of the movie do somewhat make sense but this only happens with ion storms (nebulas that are electrically charged) 52:36 Ion cannons are blue, turbolasers are green and red, and mass drivers are either blue or orange, none of these weapons are ion cannons 52:50 just tilt the ship and that star destroyer in the back would be clipping into the command ship plus this would also imply the command ship would have turned 90 degrees as they landed 54:49 also how did Ben get here, he used a TIE/FN Fighter, a fighter notorious for a lack of a hyperdrive, no shields, weak to asteroids, and a complete lack of life support, so you're telling me Ben found a TIE Fighter and spacesuit that wasn't blown to bits from the Death Star, manage to travel 1000s of light years from Endor to Exegol without a hyperdrive, navigate the hellscape being basically blind from the Tie and suit, and made it there in less than an hour, he didn't even walk into frame from it 55:55 yeah but what about that other nav-tower on the ground 57:10 I'm pretty sure that Anakin was angrily digging up his lightsabers because its burried in sand of all things plus this scene disappoints literally all the og and prequel fans

I feel like it would’ve been way better if Rey just accepted her Palpatine name to prove that good can come from a line of evil. Luke didn’t change his name cause his dad was Darth Vader.

I've come to the conclusion that Disney's Star Wars sequel trilogy was basically a middle finger to it's legions of fans while also saying "we're going to create our own trilogy."

Question: if they decide to make a trilogy of movies set after Rise of Skywalker, what are they gonna call it?

There is one thing that is REALLY great about the Sequel Trilogy: It made us appreciate how good the Prequel Trilogy actually was.

Me after seeing the title: Yes Me after watching the video: more. MORE

This trilogy could’ve been so great in the hands of talented writers who weren’t committed to pushing T H E M E S S A G E! And actually giving it to one director to tell the story.

The “There is another Skywalker” line was more accurate than you could have ever know 😳😭

Man, SO MUCH WASTED POTENTIAL with these freaking movies. Why didn't Disney just watch Abrams' Star Trek movies and see the audience reactions from them before hiring him smh.

Only an hour? With THIS topic, I was expecting to be here for a week or more.

Oh my god. Somehow Palpatine returned

I'm surprised the video's only an hour long.

Sin 1: No George Lucas involvement Sin 2: Killing the EU Sin 3: No original trio on camera together.

Only have an issue with 2 sins. “Wouldnt Luke be in all the history books? How do you think he’s a myth?” Yes in all the history books she’s acquired on a dessert planet she’s been on by herself since she was a small child. Word of mouth is the only way she’s probably even heard of Luke in the first place, and given Rays limited scope of the galaxy, it makes sense she thinks a dude with magic powers is just a myth. Also fuel is a real thing is starwars. A huge struggle in building the original rebellion against the empire was quite the fuel required for a war effort because the empire control all the fuel mines and refineries. Also that tether on the tie fighter you sinned in force awakens is in fact a fuel line.

I know a lot of people always hope and argue what is Star Wars cannon... BUT CAN WE PLEASE just this one time wish that this trilogy WASN'T cannon??

You took sins OFF for Rey "Skywalker"?????

He could have just said “the trilogy” and rewarded them 10000 sins and everything would have been fine

To answer your question on why the sith only made 2 is because of the sith rule of 2 so it actually makes some sense

OK, at the ultimate end scene. Lando got out his little black book and told everybody he had pictures.

I need 8 hours of CinenaSins to fall asleep to

If two random people could figure out how the First Order tracked them through light speed in 10 seconds after they said it was “ImPoSsiBLe!” Then why hasn’t anyone done it before 😐😑😐

not defending the sequel trilogy, but 0:32, I assumed it was a silhouette, not a shadow, because it also blocks the stars behind it

Having never watched any of your videos on Star Wars, it’s nice you did this.

Soo... thing about the theory of Hyperspace (It's a real scientific theory that Star Wars used perfectly until the last 3 movies), is that technically while it is a form of FTL, it's also a concept most people fail to understand. What grants hyper space the advantage over Warp is that the ship in question electromagnetically vibrates at a harmonic resonance that is out of phase with everything around it. Making it effectively a form of "Vibro" technology where it's molecular mass is vibrating so fast and at a frequency that is different than normal matter, that it's atoms pass through other atoms not vibrating at the "normal" resonance of other celestial objects, which is in turn how a ship is able to achieve light speed. The theory is that by vibrating out of phase with most other objects it has a more efficient escalation to faster speeds due to a complete reduction of drag. That being said; jumping into and out of Hyper speed will allow a ship to ignore "most" other objects, except those objects that might have an energy field (such as a force field) that could resonate on or near the same frequency vibration. While they don't show it in the movie, it is possible for ships in hyperspace to actually collide, crash, attack, and even encounter other objects that may harmonically resonant differently than normal space time. Which is mainly why Hyperspace is NEVER used inside a planet, around stars, or more importantly as a weapon for crashing into other ship or through force fields. Because it's unknown what would actually happen in these cases, and it could very likely cause catastrophic problems for both the ships, crew, and anything else they encounter while in Hyperspace. ~ So what makes matters worse is that the writers of the last trilogy never bothered to research what the theory of "Hyper space" is, how it applied to the Star Wars universe, and just assumed it was "like" Star treks "Warp" technology and applied "Warp theory" to a completely different set of scientific rules. Which makes all of the Hyper space scenes absolutely ridiculous, broken and frankly "unrealistic" because "math" was apparently too hard.

The sin for Kylo being named Ben at 14:01 is no longer valid due to the Kenobi series

"Excessive use of the force" - the true jedi way

Sequel Trilogy summed up in 3 sentences: 1. I’M THE SPY! 2. I’M THE SPY! 3. I’M THE SPY!

The first time I watched the rise of skywalker, I fell asleep then woke up around the final battle. I never fall asleep during movies, so me falling asleep says a lot

I love how you even went out of your way to appreciate the decent moments and then summarily smack it around like the dog chew toy it is the rest of the time. Nice. I was so irritated I missed the decent stuff in a couple of spots.

20:42 there is mention of feul in Star Wars, in the prequels, when Obi Wan went to see if Grevious was on Utapau, he asked for fuel for his starfighter

Yo, props on the “mad mad mad mad world” throw back shout out. Excellent movie.

10:10 Wait, he shouted "raider" ? I'm pretty sure he shouted "traitor". Which is a sin, since he'd have to have a history with the guy to know he was a traitor. What does "Raider" mean here?

I’m gonna watch this later today but I’ll be highly highly disappointed if there isn’t 1000+ sins😂

I didn’t know that it was legal to play the entirety of one movie, let alone three, for free on RU-vid

32:49 is genuinely the only time in existence our host is surprised by anything and removes more than four sins.

Vader stopped blaster bolts in midair in the Dark Horse comics. Which is probably where Disney got the idea from, and as far as I know Dark Horse comics are still cannon.

Hearing someone say Ghost Recon brings life to my soul.

I'm surprised this is only one hour.

Oh gawd hold on I need to get my popcorn ready for this amazing film REVIEW!!

the skywalker saga was over with return of the jedi. i will NEVER accept disney star wars as canon.

Palpatine should have been BROUGHT back by his old Master and focus the movie more around that... So in trilogy, he would have been used as "stalking horse", so to speak

"Artifacts from the original trilogy are more easily found than pop-up ads on a porn site" had me ROLLING

Rs6 rouge spear is such an unexpected reference lol. Nice

I've pinpointed the moment I finally subscribed to CinemaSins: "Where's the danger? Or does she only have enough fuel for one space resurrection?!"

As someone who hates the sequels as much as the next guy, my only excuse for the Star Destroyer not seeing Rey and Finn when they escape Jakku is the fact that it was on the other side of the planet. Because they just casually want to be on the other side of the planet.

Not [long] enough, not nearly [long] enough. -Remus Lupin

Ren breaks the compass, and the only way forward is with him, and then she tries to kill him? 😂😂😂

I always thought that 1 of the 5 planets was Coruscant. It was the way that the First Order eradicated planets closest to the heart of the Republic(and the HQ).

Fuel from smaller ships was a great burn, that would make too much sense tho. The sequels really didn’t thrive on details like that, they were too busy cramming 6 hours of movie storyline into an 1hr and 45 mins or so lol great job as always guys 👑

Another biggest sin abt this trilogy was not making Finn a Jedi

The "only 2" way finders thing makes sense because of the Sith rule of two.

0:30 or it's just the destroyer covering the planet ( it is in between the planet and the camera). Planets reflect light damnit

Taking off sins at the end is such a heel thing to do 😂😂😂

AND...he took sins off for the holdo manuver? That alone breaks starwars, why didn't the just use a droid to fly an x wing through the star destroyer? Or just attach tungsten rods to light speed engines...

Right off the bat, they made a mistake I believe. That isn't a shadow of the ship. It's a silhouette of the ship.

Rey will always be a Palpatine after committing identity theft on the Skywalkers.

Kinda feel old but: "Leeeeroy jeeeeenkins!!" Gets me smiling still😁

40:46 Made me lol 😆

I felt sorry for Kelly Marie Tran. She basically got sideline and ignored for the final film, after receiving so much backlash against fans who didn't like her character.

Surprised you didn’t just upload Episodes 8 and 9

I always thought it was strange for Rey to wear sunglasses in the star destroyer, then take them off in the sun?!

I know It's your show, but that resistance for 5 minutes should be 100 Sins. At least.

The sequel trilogy was an abomination. Disney and Kathleen Kennedy destroyed Luke and the entire Star Wars universe. Such a shame. Sad thing is she is hell bent on making it even worse with awful content like Ashoka, The Acolyte, what she did to The Mandelorian, etc. She is the true Sith Lord 🤦🏼‍♂️
