Top 40 Plotholes in Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker! 

Getting a lot of crying from Rise of Skywalker Fans over my Star Wars Plotholes list. Perhaps I should change to "Top 13 Plotholes and 27 Stupidest Moments (that aren't necessarily massive plotholes but still go against canon & hurt the film)". Do you think that would help? Perhaps I should title it Top 40 Stupidest Moments?

Rumour has it that an after credit scene exists where it shows Kylo Rens lightsaber being pulled to someone’s hand and the next thing we hear is *”Fine, meesa do it myself”*

Episode 8: Your parents were nobodies. Episode 9: Your parents were nobodies BUT your grandfather was an evil space wizard.

All of these visual dictionaries remind me of something Joe said during his Destiny review: "If I have to go outside the game to understand the story, you have FAILED as a writer."

Vader: Kills millions of people. Luke: I know there is good in him, we must save him. ... Kylo: Has bad dream. Luke: I must murder him in his sleep

“There are at least 40 plot holes.” “I know, spooky right?”- JJ Abrams

Qui Gon: "Force heal me Obi Wan" Obi Wan: "Sorry master we trained Jedi haven't learned that yet"

Old lady on tatooine: who are you? Rey: *looks off into the distance* Rey: Severus Albus Potter

Finn was a stormtrooper and he didn't know they could fly? Really?!

Kylo ren: * uses force-heal to bring rey back from the DEAD * All of the people who died near jedis: ARE WE A JOKE TO YOU???

Palpatines body remained 95% intact after getting nuked but was completely obliterated from sticking his fingers into a power outlet.

Lando: help Everyone: frick no they have like hundreds of portable death stars Lando: [Speech 100] pls Everyone: k

41: Kylo Ren kills his dad who was trying to save him from himself, kills his mom because she contacts him via “force ghost” which sacrifices herself to do so, tries to blow up his own master AND UNCLE because he was in his way and he ends up using all his power doing nothing and yet Kylo finally becomes good and sacrifices himself for good not because his dad, mom or uncle convinced him to but because of some random girl he met this one time and every time they cross paths they try to KILL EACH OTHER?!?!?!?!

"You have to buy seven books for these movies to still not make sense" FTFY

It took 4 days to travel between Tatooine to Alderaan but the whole galaxy got to Exogol in an hour.

“REYYYY!” 75% of Fins’ lines in the movie

Star Wars Theme: Be Proud of who you are.... unless your 1 person in your entire family is like REALLY bad, then just be proud of another family and pretend you are part of it.

Anikan’s force ghost watching Rey use force heal: “Woooooowww”

“Who are you?” “I’m Rey” “Rey who?” “Rey’d Shadow Legends is one of the most ambitious RPG projects of 2019. Just look at the level of detail of these characters! If you use the code in the description you can start with 50,000 silver and join the Special Launch Tournament!”

Stranger - who are you? *Jar Jar smiles at Rey* Rey, Rey Binks

My favorite part is that Rey says the knife has a long dark history WHILE SHE IS HOLDING THE LIGHTSABER THAT SLAUGHTERED UNTOLD AMOUNTS OF CHILDREN.

Finn-"they fly now?" So you gonna act like you weren't a stormtrooper before? 😐

Joe: "why not put your essence into your son" In the backround: F.B.I. OPEN UP!!

Imagine if they had some balls and brought us Darth Jar Jar

Han solo literally said: "Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova." When talking about hyperspace.

"How did they fix Anakin's Lightsaber" "Flextape"

Rian: Hey, remember that force sensitive kid with the broom? J.J: yeah, no...

Plot Hole: Disney Star Wars.

For me, the mainline Star Wars movies end with Episode 6. Disney and those who worked on the final trilogy completely failed, leaving us fans disgusted and bored. You ruined your characters, destroyed your story, alienated your long-time fans, and left one of the most beloved series in history with an inane, nonsensical conclusion. I hope none of you have a hand in ANY Star Wars media going forwards.

Kylo: *uses force heal to bring Rey BACK TO LIFE* Kylo: *is dying* Rey: oh well

“Who are you?” “Im Rey” “Rey who?” “Rey Mysterio”

My favorite moment is when the emperor said “do it”

Best argument of those who love the new trilogy: "Well, if you just sit back and stare at the screen, not paying attention to what's actually happening, it's a pretty good movie. Idk why poeple don't like it"

You guys missed one, Palpatine in his weakest form was able to raise all of those Star Destroyers into the air from under the ground what does he need a new body for again?

Disney: Uh oh, looks like we might've messed up a really beloved series... oopsie EA: First time huh?

Another plot hole: Palpatines plan is for rey to kill him so he can possess her, which is exactly what she does and she doesn't get possessed

A HUGE #41. For all of Palpatine's existence he has always lived by THE RULE OF TWO. A Master and an Apprentice. Continuing, Palpatine has always had someone UNDER him, an Apprentice or servant, but always keeping himself alive and at the top no matter what. From Darth Maul, to Dooku and Grevious, to Darth freaking Vader, they have everytime been there to serve him, specifically, with him being alive. Now here is the problem. Palpatine's goal is to get Rey to strike him down so his life force will live in her. WHAT THE F...? This contradicts Palpatine's entire entire life motivation. His goal wasn't to live on in someone else, his goal was to always be at the top, never die, and always have someone serving him, henceforth the rule of 2.

The knights of Ren, what was the point of their existence?

*Rise of Skywalker credits roll* *George Lucas* : “..Jar Jar ain’t so bad now lmfao”

#41: Palpatine: “if you kill me you’ll become the Sith!” Rey: “I won’t kill you!” *5 minutes later kills Palpatine but doesn’t become the Sith.* Guess he was just bluffing?

Don’t forget that since Leia, Luke, and Ben were all Skywalkers, then they killed them all off, that means that there are no more Skywalkers in Star Wars. Thank you Disney, you killed off all of what the main movies in the other trilogies were about.

There's one you missed: Finn says that Endor is where the last war ended, even though it is established that the final battle of the Galactic Civil War was on Jakku... which is a planet and backstory that JJ Abrams HIMSELF CREATED.

How did Palatine survive? Disney: yes

Really love this uncensored format. Everyone seems more natural in their demeanor. I honestly wish this video was longer. And Joe if you read this, ignore the haters, just do you.

19:15 “In that case.....I am a Jedi.” -other Joe. “ oh cool!” -Alex “Thank you.” 😂😂😂 I love these guys so much.

One more here: Why did Rey think that she killed Chewbacca when later on she easily sensed him from much greater distance on the star destroyer? Why didn't she sense him on the desert that he was in a different ship to begin with?

The JJ manouver: to cover a large plothole with a larger plothole.

Remember, when you force heal someone. Yell from the top of your lungs, "SENZU BEAN"!

Palpatine was cloned. "I shall call him... MINI ME!"

Plot hole: Dr. Strange helped Lando to get all those people

I’m going to stop thinking about these movies cause it makes you question everything. As far as I’m concerned Luke got drunk and had some death sticks after episode 6 and this is all a hallucination.

39. With the ghosts i would have been billions and billions of time more happy that Anakin's ghost fights Palpatine, wins and completes his legacy... Then the title rise of the Skywalker would have made sense.

Rey - Explodes a ship with force lightning. Palpatine - His force lightning is an on off switch for ships.

All the force ghosts when they saw force heal: Bruh

Disney: no mace windu absolutely met his fate during the fall on Coruscant. Also Disney: palpatine was electrocuted, thrown into a thousand story pit of a space station that blew up in the middle of space? Yeah he survived.

plot hole master 43: Call the movie "Rise of Skywalker", kills ALL THE SKYWALKERS and let the last living PALPATINE took everything from them. Palpatine wins.

Old lady: Who are you? Rey: I’m Rey. Old lady: Rey who? Who are your people? Rey: I have no people, I’m alone. Old Lady: Hmm.. Rey... Solo! 😂👌🏼

So you're telling me that the Resistance killed 290 million people in the final battle on Exogal

C3PO: Taking one last look sir… at my friends Me: Your friends?! This is the first movie we see you with them

The Death Star was vaporised, so how come there were large parts of it sitting on a planet??

"the force unleashed is not canon because starkiller is too overpowered" also star wars "rey can revive anyone,emperor is zeus on crack"

The thing about force healing, is that it has been a part of SW for some time now in the extended canon. BUT, it was always explained and used with logic. They only used to heal non fatal wounds, and even so it was a very hard technique, and required immense concentration. Plus it is very taxing on the user. That's why we didn't see every Jedi running around healing everyone. I know, people will immediately jump and say "bUt bAbY YoDA uSed iT, aNd, hE's aN iNFaNt!" Yes ... and all we know about Yoda's race is that they are highly in tune with the force, so much so, that the few members in lore were all at the rank of Master. And it adds up, if we consider that a 50 year old member is still considered an infant, yet it could wield the force faster than it can talk. Since they are so helpless and weak for so long, the force is their only self defense. It was quite convenient that Mandalorian was released 2 days early, and Baby Yoda used the same ability just 24 hours before the movie release with absolutely no fucking training what so ever, only based on his connection to the Force. And don't forget how drained he was after using it. They are basically using that as a justification for Rey. For whatever reason, Kylo also used the same ability despite never actually learning it from anyone. He just saw Rey using it and BAAAM. And just one use killed him ... Palpatine used a very advanced version of that ability as he was literally sucking their life force and brought his dead husk of a body back to its prime. God, if only Palpatine ever had an apprentice that was basically a broken husk, that could have used such an ability to fix himself slightly up ... I know, the movie states how big of an anomaly Rey and Kylo is together ... which is bullshit, and that's what Palpatine drew from. Last I checked the Sith drew on the negative spectrum of emotions like fear and anger, not some link. Force Bonding is also not a new thing for SW. It's something that develops between 2 entities with strong emotional connection. Two people who want to kill each other for 2 and half movies (which was about 3 years in time) sure as shit didn't develop strong emotions for one another ... In the expended lore it's limited to convey feelings, emotions or images between the 2 entities over great distances. But it's never been used as postal service to transfer physical items. I recon Obi Wan had a stronger connection to Vader based on their past alone ... so I wonder why he never sent a mini nuke after him trough Force Postal Services ... Or if this link was created by Palpatine, as explained in TLJ, why the fuck is he so surprised. Plus the movie basically states that Rey is strong just because of her blood line. Being born to a strong Jedi or Sith only gives one the aptitude to become a strong force user, but it doesn't inherently make one strong. Palpatine horded the forbidden knowledge's, and learned all his life to become the Sith he is. Anakin was born of the Force, a true anomaly, and still needed to learn. Luke is the descendent of Anakin, and still had to be tutored. Ben was thought in the ways of the Jedi since childhood -- also a grands-child like Rey. Rey followed Luke around for a few weeks, was thought 3 things, then spent a year on a jungle planet with 5 books and Leia teaching her ... was more powerful then any Jedi or Sith before her. People keep saying to let things go just because it's fiction. But the thing with fiction is that it still needs rules and logic to which it abides in order for it to make sense in its own universe. Otherwise its all just a collection of random chaotic events.

"Death was invented by the jedi... I don't even know how to spell it" -animated palpitine

Major plot hole i just discovered: If Palpatine broadcasted a message saying that in 16 hours he would wipe out the galaxy or whatever, why did General Hux need to betray the first order in order to get them that information? When it was broadcasting to the entire galaxy? Everyone already knew. The opening crawl said that the whole galaxy knew, but they said it was information they had to decode. They literally retconned their own movie in their movie.

Palpatine just kinda forgot to put navigation systems on all the star destroyers.

And fin was a former storm trooper why the hell is he suprised that they fly now

15:46 Palpatine survived the same way Luke’s saber ended up in Maz’s basement. No idea and JJ doesn’t care.

Anakin:" I need to figure out how to stop my wife's death im even willing to turn to the dark side" *Force healing exist and is easy to learn* Anakin:"Im gonna ignore that"

"Who are you?" "I'm Rey." "Rey who?" "Rey Chewbacca."

I could’ve tolerated a bad trilogy but they had to takeaway from the past trilogy by making Darth Vader’s sacrifice useless

*Rey uses force healing* Ghost Anakin : "You can't do this to me......I started this trilogy....YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRFICED?!"

Huge shoutout to Adam Driver: In episode 7 he was one of the main things people complained about to episode 9 where he is the best part of the entire trilogy by far

Disappointing that the Knights of Ren were defeated in like one minute tbh what bs is that

This sequel Trilogy is like my poorly thrown together D&D homebrew Campaign, except worse.

I love how much Joe HATES this movie, its so intense. "The hate is strong with this one."

It's pretty insane that looking back, the Prequel Trilogy was actually fairly tight in terms of lore and timeline. Back then, people just thought the movies were kind of corny at worst.

Luke: take my fathers light sabre and destroy the sith like he did Rey: I will make him proud Luke: he also killed children with it

"32C. Luke and Lando couldn't see the Black Sand in the middle of a Brown sand area!" How would you expect Luke to have any idea what sand and deserts are like? He's from Tattooine!

They turned Star Wars into a superhero genre where everyone rarely dies and there is a complete lack of tension around the main cast

i wouldn't mind seeing the whole sequel trilogy being retconed tbh.

41: Why is it that Rey could not kill Palpatine at the beginning of their confrontation because he would take over her body, but she goes ahead and kills him anyway at the end and he is unable to take over her body, I’m confused about that

The most DEFINITIVE indication you will EVER need that this is NOT star wars: They didn't have a funeral in the movie for Princess/General Lea. Even for a soulless corporate appliance like this that's COLD.

Disney's fanfiction sequel is not canon. Case closed.

Palatine didn't survive, George Lucas said so.

Darth Plagues dedicated his whole sith career to learning how to heal and stop death, meaning it's a sith/dark side power. But Rey can just do it....as a "jedi"....

Laughing my ass off every time Joe goes "Hellooo??!? Hellooo!??" xD

Motto of this film: “Let the past die...kill it if you have to..”

41. Anakin sacrificing his life to save Luke at the end of ROTJ was WORTHLESS because the Emperor survived!

“Admiral Gender Studies” I damn near spit out my cookie

If rey is dead, and kylo survives, i will accept this "rise of skywalker" more acceptable

Palpatine is old so he has lightning incontinence.

41. When did General Hux become the spy for the resistance.

Conclusion: The sequels aren’t canon.

Another plot hole: How is Fin and the other rebels able to breath while on the exterior of the Star destroyer? Even if the planet had an oxygen rich atmosphere they were at a tremendous altitude... 🤷‍♂️

Mandalorian understands, acknowledges and builds on existing lore.

Oh man... I was LOL so hard at: “Force Lightning is like peeing. Once you start you can’t stop.” That was the most hilarious comment on AJS so far.

Finn: ex stormtrooper who was taken as a child so the First Order is all he knows. He is the only one who knows how to destroy the weapon that is about to blow the door open on the Crait base. Also Finn: tHeY fLy NoW¿

Number 18. I remember Lucas saying that Yoda learned from Qui Gon how to live through the force. He spent his time and Obi Wan's time in exile training Obi Wan to do the same. This took years. Because Qui Gon had trained for years, and hadn't trained enough to be a force ghost, but just a disembodied voice. Then when Anakin died, redeemed and having brought balance (yes, he DID bring balance, these movies are not canon to me), the combined efforts of Qui Gon, Obi Wan and Yoda came together to quickly speak to him as he died, and helped to pull him through so he could be around for Luke in the future. Because he had finally deserved it. And Luke deserved to have his dad around at last I guess. This was from Lucas himself. I think it was on the episode 3 extras if I remember right.

If there has ever been an actual need to retcon something, the last 3 movies is evidence of that. "Then Luke woke from a particularly ravage fever dream..."

Prequel Trilogy: "Always two, there are. No more. No less." Sequel Trilogy: "**cough**"
