1. Comparison of "The Rise of Skywalker" and the Legendary Universe
The "Resurrection" of Emperor Palpatine
For those familiar with the legendary universe of "Star Wars" (also known as "derivative universe" and "old canon"), the "resurrection" of Emperor Palpatine is nothing new. As early as 28 years ago, Dark Horse Comics published the first "Star Wars" comic for Lucasfilm, "Dark Empire" (Dark Empire), which told the story of Emperor Palpatine's comeback after the Battle of Endor. The "Dark Empire" series of comics is divided into three parts, a total of 14 episodes, published from December 1991 to November 1995.
In the movie, Palpatine did not disclose in detail why he did not die. He just told Kylo Ren that the dark side of the Force can lead to many supernatural powers. As early as "Revenge of the Sith", he also told Ana Kim Skywalker said the same thing. In the film novel version, he is "resurrected" through the method of clone + transfer essence. In other words, before he died, he used the dark side of the Force to transfer his consciousness to the brain of the new clone. This is almost exactly the same as the "resurrection" method in "Dark Empire".
In the movie, Palpatine seems to use cloning technology on Snook, because we see a lot of Snook's body.
The death of Emperor Palpatine
Before eliminating Palpatine, Rey was called by many Jedi, so she claimed that she was "all the Jedi". This is similar to Palpatine's pre-death situation in the "Dark Empire" comics. Specifically, in the third part of "The Empire of Darkness", "The End of the Empire", the resurrected Palpatine first severely injured the Jedi Knight Empatozyos Brand (Empatojayos Brand), and then Han Solo Shot and wounded Palpatine. So Palpatine's consciousness left the dying clone and tried to transfer to Han and Leia's youngest son, Anakin Solo. As a result, Brand, who was also dying, intercepted Palpatine's consciousness halfway and let Palpatine possess himself. This made Palpatine's consciousness too late to leave Brand's body and died with Brand. Before his death, Brand said to Luke: "Palpatine will die with me. He will never come back. The Force and all the Jedi walking in front of us will guarantee this."
Palpatine's abilities
In the movie, Palpatine's Force Lightning can strike the resistance's large fleet. In the "Dark Empire" comics, the resurrected Palpatine can even use the Force to create a hyperspace wormhole and destroy the fleet of the New Republic.
In the movie, Palpatine attempts to lure his granddaughter Rey into the dark side. In the comics, the resurrected Palpatine once lured Luke Skywalker into the dark side, making Luke his "Sith Apprentice". But in fact, Luke at the time was more like an undercover who broke into the enemy. He secretly undermined some of Palpatine's conspiracies, and finally defeated Palpatine with his sister Leia.
The empire makes a comeback
Regardless of the "Star Wars" official history universe or the legendary universe, before Palpatine's comeback, he let another remnant of the empire reinvent the Republic, and then came out to "clean up the mess."
In the legendary universe, Thrawn's confederation led by Marshal Thrawn launched the Thrawn campaign four years after the establishment of the New Republic. A year later, Thrawn died unexpectedly, and the resurrected Palpatine led the Dark Empire to continue to conquer the city in the galaxy.
In the canonical universe, 30 years after the establishment of the New Republic, the First Order used the Starkiller Base to blow up the Republic’s capital of the Hosnia galaxy, and then gradually conquered the galaxy without a leader. One year later, Palpatine led The Sith Eternal fleet, or Final Order, began to form a new empire in the galaxy.
Super weapon
In the "Dark Empire" series of comics, the super weapon "Galaxy Gun" used by the Dark Empire has the ability to destroy planets across hyperspace. In the official history of "Star Wars", the Starkiller base used by the First Order goes one step further, able to cross sub-hyperspace and destroy multiple planets at the same time.
In the "Dark Empire" series of comics, another super weapon used by the Dark Empire is the "World Devastator". This is an automated arsenal. While destroying planets, it can absorb planetary materials and use them as raw materials to automatically build spacecraft, robots and other war machines. Moreover, the "World Destroyer" itself can replicate itself and become a "World Destroyer" fleet. In contrast, in "The Rise of Skywalker", the Xyston-class Star Destroyer (Xyston-class Star Destroyer) used by the Sith Eternal Fleet only has the ability to destroy planets and cannot transform planetary matter into war machines.
In the "Dark Empire" series of comics, the third super weapon used by the Dark Empire is the "Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer". It is 17.5 kilometers long and, like the "spear class" in the movie, has the Death Star super laser cannon. However, there are only two "Eclipse Class" ships.
In fact, the legendary spaceship similar to the "Lance-class" star destroyer is the "Conqueror"-they are all equipped with the Death Star super laser cannon on the basis of the "Empire-class" star destroyer. However, "Conqueror" has nothing to do with the dark empire, but from the 2010 "Star Wars" trading card game "Galaxies: Threat of the Conqueror" (Galaxies: Threat of the Conqueror), is the super weapon of the Galactic Empire one.
Sith trooper
The name "Sith Soldier" first came from the legendary universe game "Warrior of the Old Republic" in 2003. Like the movie, the Sith soldiers in the game are just ordinary soldiers serving the empire, not necessarily those who are sensitive to the Sith and the Force. Interestingly, page 75 of "The Rise of Skywalker: A Visual Atlas" revealed that at least six Sith soldiers were named after the famous ancient Sith:
3rd Army "Revan" (Revan),
The 5th Army "Andeddu" (Andeddu),
The 17th Corps "Tanis" (Tanis),
The 26th Army "Tenebrous" (Tenebrous),
39th Army "Phobos" (Phobos),
The 44th Army "Desolous" (Desolous).
Except for Tanis, which is the original book, the other five Siths are all from the legendary universe of "Star Wars", especially Raven, who is the protagonist of "Warrior of the Old Republic". This means that at least their names and identities have entered official history.
The elite of the Sith soldiers will be selected as the "Sovereign Protector" to directly defend the Sith Throne. This is the same as the legendary universe. In "The Dark Empire" and the subsequent "Crimson Empire" (Crimson Empire) comics, the resurrected Palpatine is also directly defended by the empire's monarch guards.
Descendants of Palpatine
According to the description of the novel version of The Rise of Skywalker, Palpatine's "son" is actually a failed clone of himself. Palpatine couldn't bear to look at him at all. In the "Star Wars" legendary universe, Palpatine's son is called "Triclops". As the name suggests, he has three eyes-the third eye is on the back of his head. Strictly speaking, he is not Palpatine's biological son, but a mutant created by Palpatine using the original force after he manipulates the midi-chlorian. "Sanmu" is a pacifist, so he was regarded as a failed experiment by his father, and was later imprisoned in the spice mine of Kosher.
In Kosher, "Sanmu" and the female Jedi Kendalina fell in love, and the two gave birth to a son, Ken, the grandson of Palpatine. "Sanmu" and Ken later separated from each other and went through a series of adventures. They joined the League of Rebels and the New Republic successively, and finally reunited. Although both father and son are sensitive to the Force, they have not done any earth-shattering feats, and are two "Nobody". Like Rey, Ken once became Luke's apprentice.
The story of "Sanmu" and Ken is recorded in a series of "Star Wars" youth novels published from 1992 to 1993. This series of novels does not have a unified official name, but because the protagonist is Ken, they are informally called the "Jedi Prince series" among Star Wars fans.
The magical force
1. "Fold space"
In "The Rise of Skywalker", the Force bond between Rey and Kylo Ren is further strengthened, even reaching the point where objects can be transmitted instantaneously across light years. In the legendary universe of "Star Wars", this kind of force skill for teleporting objects is called "folding space". It first appeared in the 1998 novel "Vision of the Future", which is the mysterious Ai Ying- The ability possessed by Aing-Tii, which was later learned by Luke Skywalker in the series "Fate of the Jedi" (Fate of the Jedi).
2. "Force healing", "Force drain" and "Dark transfer"
In the movie, Rey can use the force to heal other people’s wounds, Kylo Ren pulls Rey back from the death line, Palpatine can use the force to absorb the lives of Rey and Kylo Ren to enhance Own vitality. Among them, the skill of using Force to heal wounds is called "Force Cure". It is one of the most common Force skills in "Star Wars" works, and it is found in almost all games involving Force. The force skill of "Resurrection" is similar to "Dark Transfer"-from the comic book "Legacy" (Legacy), is the famous ability of Cade Skywalker. The ability to absorb other people's lives is similar to "The Force of Life", which is the dark side version of "The Force of Healing". In the legendary universe of "Star Wars", the first application of "The Force Lost Life" appeared in "Dark Empire", and the application was the resurrected Palpatine. In the 15th episode of the third season of the 2011 animated series "The Clone Wars", Anakin Skywalker used the remaining life force of his "daughter" to bring Ahsoka Tano back to life. The 2015 official history novel "Aftermath" even mentioned that Lord Sith could sustain his life by absorbing the life energy of others-which is very similar to what Palpatine did in the movie.
Luke's Soul
In the "Star Wars" legendary universe, the soul of Luke Skywalker comes from the "Inheritance" series of comics published from 2006 to 2014, mainly to tell his descendants Cade Skywalker (Cade Skywalker) some life experience .
Leia's Jedi experience
"The Rise of Skywalker" recalls that Leia also received Luke's Jedi training and used a blue lightsaber. In the "Star Wars" legendary universe, Leia didn't officially receive Jedi training until she was 55 years old, in the novel "Dark Nest trilogy." But before that, Leia did learn some Jedi skills from Luke piecemeal, but not systematically trained. For decades, Leia has used too many lightsabers in colors such as green, yellow, red, and blue. The blue color was self-made after she officially became a Jedi.
From "Endor Holocaust" to Kef Bir (Kef Bir)
The "Endor Massacre" was first an inference put forward by Australian astrophysicist Curtis Saxton in 2002. He believes that after the Death Star II exploded over the Endo Forest satellite, a large amount of debris fell on the surface of Endo, which would cause a catastrophe of the ecological environment and cause the death of the Ewoks. In 2004, Pablo Hidalgo (currently a member of the Lucasfilm story group) retorted that according to the 1992 novel The Glove of Darth Vader, Death Star II After the explosion, the huge energy will open a wormhole and teleport the dead star remains to the other end of the galaxy, thus avoiding the "Endor Massacre." "Darth Vader's Gloves" is the first book of the aforementioned "Prince of Jedi" series of novels. However, "Darth Vader's Gloves" now belongs to the "Star Wars" legend, not official history.
In 2016, the official Twitter of "Star Wars" gave the official solution to the "Endor Massacre": the Rebel Alliance fleet used shields and towed beams to prevent the wreckage of the Death Star 2 from falling onto the surface of the Endor Forest satellite.
"The Rise of Skywalker" further revealed that the remains of the original Death Star II eventually fell into another satellite of the planet Endor-Kefbil. Whether in legend or in official history, the planet Endor has nine moons. The one in Return of the Jedi is a forest satellite; Kefbil is a marine satellite.
2. Planetary information supplement
Mustafa
At the beginning of the film, it was in Mustafa that Kylo Ren found Darth Vader's Wayfinder. It was the Alazmec that prevented Kylo Ren from the Alazmec who were dedicated to preserving the legacy and legend of Darth Vader. The Alazmek Barbarians are the original organization of the film, and Mustafa is the planet created for 2005's Revenge of the Sith, which also appeared in 2016's Rogue One. For a long time, Mustafa has presented the audience with volcanic lava. However, the 2019 "Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series" game revealed that a long time ago, Mustafa was a green planet all over the woods. (Lady Corvax) rule. Later, Mustafa was attacked and Mrs. Kovacs’ husband died in the battle. Distraught, Mrs. Kovacs stole the powerful cultural relic "Bright Star" from the Mustafas in an attempt to use its mighty power to revive her beloved. As a result, the powerful energy released by the bright star turned Mustafa into a hellish volcanic planet on earth. After the bright star was destroyed, Mustafa's vegetation and ecosystem began to slowly recover. The trees in the movie were planted by the Arazmek barbarians.
Ajan Kloss
The planet where the Resistance base is located is Arjan Cross, located in the outer ring of the Milky Way, the original planet of the film.

4. Some identifiable spacecraft and vehicles
"Phantom" and the Free World Fleet
When Lando and Chubaca arrived at Exegol with a large fleet to support the Resistance, at least 17 types of spacecraft could be identified. They have all appeared in previous "Star Wars" works. The most famous of these is the "Ghost" in the animated series "Rise of the Rebels". I have circled each type of spacecraft, with their serial numbers in the middle of the circle. Note that there are more than one type of spacecraft, so the serial numbers of the same type of spacecraft are the same:
1. Mon Calamari Star Cruiser (Mon Calamari Star Cruiser) 2. Hammerhead corvette 3. "Free Virgillia-class Bunkerbuster" 4. Dornia gunboat (Dornean) gunship) 5. Nebulon-B escort frigate (Nebulon-B escort frigate) 6. VCX-100 light freighter (VCX-100 light freighter) 7. MG-100 starfortress (MG-100 starfortress) 8. "Whale Bale Baleen-class heavy freighter 9. U-Wing 10. Pelta-class frigate 11. Vakbeor-class freight frigate cargo frigate 12. Nebulon-C escort frigate 13. Lancer-class pursuit craft 14. GX1 short hauler
15. Naboo N-1 starfighter
16. Fang-class starfighter
17. T-6 shuttle
"Tantive IV" (Tantive IV)
The famous CR90 light frigate "Tantive IV" (Tantive IV) is hidden in the base of the resistance organization. This spacecraft is the first spacecraft to appear in the opening scene of the first "Star Wars" in 1977. It was on this ship that year, Princess Leia received the design of the Imperial Death Star, then stored it in the robot R2-D2, and then sent R2-D2 to Tatooine to find Obi-Wan Kenobi. She herself was arrested by Darth Vader. All legends begin with this spaceship.
Y-wing starfighter
Following the introduction of the new X-wing in "The Force Awakens" and the new A-wing in "The Last Jedi", the new Y-wing was finally introduced in "The Rise of Skywalker". The Y-wing model of the Resistance Organization is BTA-NR2. Compared with the Rebel BTL-B in the trilogy, its maximum acceleration, speed, maximum atmospheric velocity, sensor performance, shield performance and other aspects have been improved.
B-wing starfighter
The B-wing starfighter of the Resistance is very similar in appearance to the B-wing starfighter of the Rebels in Return of the Jedi.
"Night Buzzard"
The "Dark Night Condor" is a modified "Oubliette-class transport" (Oubliette-class transport), 35.94 meters long, it was snatched from the prison planet Osseriton by the Len warrior and later became the Len warrior. Spaceship.
TIE/dg Starfighter
The TIE/dg interstellar fighter, commonly known as the TIE "dagger" (TIE dagger), is the interstellar fighter of the Sith Eternal Fleet, with efficient shields, power and firepower.
TIE/wi modified interceptor (TIE/wi modified interceptor)
The TIE/wi modified interceptor, commonly known as TIE whisper (TIE whisper), has a certain degree of invisibility, just like Kylo Ren's TIE silencer.
Treadspeeder
First-order tracked motorcycles are mainly used in unstable terrain. It appeared in the "Star Wars" official history comic "Galaxy's Edge" long before the movie was released.
UA-TT
In the background of Kimijimi, you can vaguely see a brand-new walking machine, the UA-TT, which stands for "Urban Assault Triped Transport" (Urban Assault Triped Transport). This kind of walking machine was developed based on the AT-AP of the Republic. One of the middle legs can form a stable tripod structure with the other two legs, and can also act as a robot arm for obstacle removal.
5. Interpretation of the original setting of the film
Palpatine's first broadcast
Palpatine actually made two broadcasts to the Milky Way. The second broadcast he used was Sith, translated by Bumon King to other resistance members. But the first broadcast was only mentioned in the opening trapezoid. Its specific content actually appeared in the "Star Wars" event of the multiplayer online game "Fortnite" (Fortnite), namely: "The work of several generations is finally completed. Major mistakes have been corrected. The day of victory is now. The day of revenge, the day of the Sith!” (At last the work of generations is complete. The great error is corrected. The day of victory is at hand. The day of revenge. The day of the Sith!)
Finn is a force sensitive
After the movie was released, director JJ Abrams personally confirmed that what Finn had always wanted to say to Rey was that he was also a force sensitive person. This explains why Finn has such an accurate intuition in the movie.
Yak (Orbak)
Horse-shaped animals that can be found on many planets. The original animal of the film.
Thick Armored Python (Vexis)
A giant snake that lives underground in the Pasaana desert, covered in armor.
Sith Eternal Cultist
When Palpatine and Rey confronted each other, the crowded people around were Sith Eternal cultists. Sith eternal followers are not Sith, and most people are not even Force sensitive. They are just a group of religious believers who worship the Sith and are committed to restoring the Sith's rule over the galaxy. They built the huge Sith Eternal Fleet in the movie.
In addition, in the official history novel "Aftermath" (Aftermath) published in 2015, there appeared a religious organization that worshipped Darth Vader, called "Acolytes of the Beyond" (Acolytes of the Beyond), one of the branches of the Sith Eternal Church. one. Ochi, who killed Palpatine's son and daughter-in-law in the movie, is a member of the disciples of the afterlife. Ou Qi is also not a force sensitive person.
Knights of Ren
For centuries, Unknown Space has been circulating the legend of "Ren Warriors", claiming that they are a group of dangerous predators. After the rise of the First Order, the legend seems to have become a reality. However, it is not clear whether these dark warriors are the real legendary ren warriors or just borrowed the legendary name. Ren warriors are not Jedi, nor Sith, but a group of dark side users of the Force who believe in Ren. The former leader of the Lun warrior was called Lun. His explanation of "Lun" is: "Lun will not stop worrying about what it burns, what is right, what is wrong, or what goals it may achieve. Lun is existence. It lives, it swallows, and it never expresses Apologies. It is its essence, nothing else."
From left to right, the names and specialties of the six Lun warriors in the picture above are as follows:
Vicrul, sees himself as a harvester of the dead.
Ap'Lek (Ap'Lek), good at strategy, strategy and traps.
Kuruk, gunman and pilot.
Trudgen, a collector of loot.
Cardo, the armorer and mass killer.
Ushar, likes to torture those who beg for mercy slowly, and praises those who resist.
6. Tribute to other works
"Never underestimate a droid."
Leia’s line comes from the novel version of "The Force Awakens" and a cut fragment. In fact, since Carrie Fisher had passed away when the film was shot, the shots of the elderly Leia were all edited from undisclosed shots of The Force Awakens.
Hyperspace tracking and continuous jumping
After Bo Dameron fled the Sinta Glacier on the "Millennium Falcon", he used hyperspace to jump through three places all the way through a short jump: Typhonic Nebula's Megafauna Chasm (Magafauna Chasm), Iveque Mirror-Spires and Cardovyte and Crystal Chaos of West Asia (Ivexia). Except for the fact that Cardovite was mentioned in the legendary universe novel "Crucible" (Crucible) in 2013, the other two places are the originals of the film.
The first-order TIE fighter that followed the "Millennium Falcon" all the way obviously used hyperspace tracking technology, which was the latest technology that was applied for the first time in "The Last Jedi". The previous hyperspace tracking only stayed at the theoretical and experimental stage, and has never been applied on a large scale.
The restoration of the lightsaber and the story behind the ancient Jedi books
Rey used the ancient Jedi books healed and preserved by the Force to repair the lightsaber and its crystals that were broken in "The Last Jedi". She also built her own yellow lightsaber at the end of the film, and the hilt is the long pole she has always carried with her. Building your own lightsaber is the only way for a Jedi Knight. It is worth noting that, on page 40 of The Rise of Skywalker: Visual Atlas, two of the ancient Jedi books preserved by Rey are called "Book of Eternal Life" (singular: Aionomicum, plural: Aionomica), which are Jedi masters. Compiled by and historian Ri-Lee Howell (Ri-Lee Howell). The name comes from the real-life college student Riley Howell (Riley Howell)-April 30, 2019, in the shooting at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Riley Howell bravely dragged Gunner, and block the bullet with his body! His feat saved the classmates in the entire classroom, but he himself sacrificed. To commemorate him, Lucasfilm let him enter the official history of "Star Wars" and become an "immortal" Jedi master.
Holdo maneuver
Bumon King once suggested that the Resistance use "Holdo Maneuver" again, referring to Lieutenant General Amilyn Joldo in "The Last Jedi" with the Resistance’s flagship "Radus" to break the first The feat of Order's flagship "Supreme". In the Endor Forest satellite scene at the end of the film, you can see a star destroyer in the sky being split into two. Obviously, this is also an application of "Holdor Maneuver".
Rey's Jedi training
At the beginning of the film, Rey wears a helmet and uses a training remote ball to receive Leia's Jedi training in the forest of Ajan Clos. This scene pays tribute to "New Hope"-Obi-Wan Kenobi also trained Luke Skywalker in this way.
A grandpa must have a grandson
Palpatine asks Kylo Ren to kill Rey. Kylo Ren looked back to Rey to join her to kill the emperor and rule the new empire together. This is the second time he has done this. The last time was in The Last Jedi. And further forward, in "The Empire Strikes Back", Darth Vader also won Luke in this way.
Desert track
The protagonist group takes HS-19 cargo loaded and transported sand-grabbing boats to evade the first-order tracked motorcycle chase. The footage is very similar to the Tatooin Bangta night elite flying shuttle racing competition in "Phantom Threat".
Similar moves
In the fight between Kimi, Rey and Zori, Zori’s last move was very similar to that of Chira's duel with Dryden Voss at the end of "Range Solo".
Similar steps to jailbreak
When Rey, Finn, and Po Dameron rescued the captured Chubaca, the first thing they did was to break the surveillance equipment. In "New Hope", Luke and Han Solo did the same when they rescued Leia. Moreover, in the two robberies, it was Chubacca who was captured. It's just that the time in "New Hope" was fake, and it was true this time.
Luke's X Wing
In Akto, Luke's soul lifted his X-wing into the water with the force. This scene pays tribute to "The Empire Strikes Back"-when Luke received Yoda's training in Dagoba, Yoda used the force to lift Luke's X-wing from the water. What's more, when Rey piloted this X-wing, the call sign used was "Red Five"-this is exactly the call sign Luke used to destroy the Death Star in "New Hope".
Similar tracking method
The way that the Lun Warriors tracked the protagonist group to Kjijimi by flying a spacecraft is very similar to how Boba Fett drove the "Slave One" to track the "Millennium Falcon" in "The Empire Strikes Back".
Force Lock Throat Dissident Officer
Kylo Ren returned from meeting Palpatine in Esigo and told the Supreme Council of the First Order that we would soon have the most powerful fleet in the galaxy. General Domaric Quinn said that the Sith was not trustworthy, and was pinched to the ceiling by Kylo Ren with the force. This scene pays tribute to "New Hope"-Darth Vader pinches Admiral Morty in the Death Star conference room.
Dejarik
Finn finally played Dejarik on the Millennium Falcon. The first time he saw Dejarek on the "Millennium Falcon" was in "The Force Awakens." He and Po Dameron complained about Chewbacca's always winning, which is obviously a tribute to the classic line of C-3PO in "New Hope" "Let the Wookiee win." If the Wookiee wins. , Make him angry, he will tear off the opponent's arm.
Palpatine's Force Lightning is bounced
Rey finally bounced Palpatine's Force Lightning with a lightsaber, and blasted him completely. In "Revenge of the Sith," Mace Windu also used a lightsaber to bounce Palpatine's lightning back into his face, but it was useless in the end.
Dark Vision
Rey faces the dark side of himself in Death Star II and pays tribute to "The Empire Strikes Back"-Luke also faced himself in Darth Vader armor in Dagoba.
Rey faces her friend again and is in danger
In Esigo, Palpatine said to Rey, you look up at a handful of rebels in the sky, they are about to die. This scene is the second experience for Palpatine and Rey. Palpatine tempted Luke like this in Return of the Jedi, and Snook tempted Rey like this in The Last Jedi.
Fall into the abyss
Before dropping Kylo Ren into the abyss, Palpatine said that he had fallen into the abyss last time, and this time he had to let Skywalker fall into it. This refers to him being thrown into the abyss by Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker) in Return of the Jedi.
Chewbacca's Medal of Bravery
When celebrating the victory at the end, Maz Kanata gave Chewbacca a Medal of Bravery (Medal of Bravery). This scene is a double tribute:
1. At the end of "A New Hope", Leia awarded the Medal of Bravery to Luke and Han, but Chubacca did not.
2. In fact, Chewbacca also received the medal of bravery, but it was not publicly awarded, and in the "Star Wars" official history comic "Chubaka", he transferred his medal of bravery to Andelm IV (Andelm IV). )'S little hero Zarro (Zarro).
Galaxy gala
The ending montage of Endor Forest Satellite, Besping and Jaku celebrating Palpatine's defeat again is very similar to the montage of "Return of the Jedi" that celebrates Palpatine's defeat for the first time across the galaxy.
The Soul of Luke and Leia
Finally, under the two classic suns of Tatooine, the force souls of Leia and Luke appeared and smiled at Rey. This scene pays tribute to the souls of Anakin, Yoda and Obi-Wan at the end of "Return of the Jedi" smiling at Luke on the Endor Forest Satellite.
Seven, interesting easter eggs
The voice of Snook and Darth Vader
At the beginning of the film, when Kylo Lun first met Palpatine, Palpatine first said "I have been every voice" in his own voice, and then "you have ever heard" in Snook's voice, and finally Say "inside your head" in Darth Vader's voice. The voice actors of these three lines are Palpatine's Ian McDiarmid (Ian McDiarmid), Snook's motion capture actor Andy Serkis (Andy Serkis) and Darth Vader's voice actor James Earl Jones (James Earl Jones).
42 years
In Pasaana, the Aki-Aki celebrate the Festival of Ancestors every 42 years. In real life, 42 years have passed from the release of the first "Star Wars" in 1977 to the release of the ninth "Star Wars" in 2019.
T-18
In Kimijimi, Zori led the protagonist team to find Babu Frick, and two first order stormtroopers could be heard chatting about "T-18". In "New Hope", "The Force Awakens", "Rogue One" and "Ranger Solo", there are similar plots of stormtrooper chatting. "New Hope" talks about VT-16; "The Force Awakens" talks about T-17; "Rogue One" and "Ranger Solo" talk about T-15.
"The door's locked. Move on to the next."
When the First Order stormtroopers searched for the suspect on the streets of Kidimmi, they said two lines: "The door's locked. Move on to the next." 35 years ago, when the Imperial stormtroopers searched for the suspect on the streets of Tatooine, they said the same. These two lines.
2-1B surgical robot
Behind Omar Tris ("Music Master" John Williams), we can see the head of a 2-1B surgical robot. This kind of robot is one of the more common medical robots in the galaxy. It was originally from "The Empire Strikes Back".
The voice of the Jedi and the starry sky Rey saw
Before the final duel with Palpatine, the Jedi voices Rey heard were:
Obi-Wan Kenobi: These are your final steps, Rey. Rise and take them... Rey... Rise.
Anakin Skywalker: Rey... Bring back the balance, Rey, as I did... The Force surrounds you, Rey... Let it lift you.
Kenan Jarles: Rey... In the heart of a Jedi lies their strength.
Luminara Anduli: The light. Find the light, Rey.
Kui-Gang Jin: Every Jedi who ever lived, lives in you... We stand behind you, Rey... Rise.
Ella Sekula: Let it guide you.
Ahsoka Tano: Rey. As it guided us.
Mace Windu: Feel the Force flowing through you, Rey.
Adi Gallia: Rise, Rey.
Yoda: Alone, never have you been. Rise in the Force, Rey.
Luke Skywalker: Rey, the Force will be with you. Always.
Among them, Anakin’s voice is from Hayden Christensen, Mays Windu’s voice is from Samuel Jackson, Yoda’s voice is from Frank Oz, and Obi-Wan’s voice is from the original Like Force Awakens, from Euan McGregor and the late Alec Guinness. All other characters are dubbed by their voice actors in the cartoon.
It is worth noting that the starry sky Rey saw at the time was the starry sky in the first scene of the first "Star Wars" in 1977.
Mandalorian executioner's ax
The weapon used by Lenn warrior Applek is a Mandalorian execution axe.
Palpatine on the Throne of Esigo
Palpatine's throne in Esigo is almost exactly the same as the conceptual sketch of the throne drawn by Ralph McQuarrie in 1981 for "Return of the Jedi."
B1 battle robot
In Babu Frick’s studio, a B1 combat robot can be seen, just behind the C-3PO to the left. During the Clone Wars, this robot was the main force of the separation forces.
"I have a bad feeling about this."
In a traceable vehicle in Pasana, Lando said the classic line "I got a bad feeling about this." This is the second most famous line of "Star Wars", second only to "May the Force be with you." It appears in almost every "Star Wars" movie:
"Phantom Menace" 3:06 seconds, said by Obi-Wan Kenobi.
"Attack of the Clones" 1 hour 46 minutes 05 seconds, said by Anakin Skywalker.
"Revenge of the Sith" 7 minutes and 28 seconds, by Obi-Wan Kenobi.
"New Hope" twice: 1 hour, 04 minutes, 39 seconds, by Luke Skywalker; 1 hour, 21 minutes, 34 seconds, by Han Solo.
"The Empire Strikes Back" 59 minutes and 12 seconds, said by Leia Organa.
"Return of the Jedi" twice: 8 minutes and 05 seconds, C-3PO said; 1 hour, 12 minutes and 46 seconds, said by Han Solo.
"The Force Awakens" 45 minutes and 46 seconds, said by Han Solo.
"Rogue One" 1 hour, 29 minutes and 53 seconds, said by K-2SO.
"The Last Jedi" is 3 minutes and 17 seconds. According to the setting of the novel version of "The Last Jedi", the binary line spoken by BB-8 is "I have a bad feeling about this."
"Range Solo" 1 hour 26 minutes 26 seconds, Han Solo said "I've got a really good feeling about this."
Lando's styling
The look of Lando in "The Rise of Skywalker" is almost exactly the same as the look of Lando in "Range Solo", even the guns used are the same. But the actors are not the same. The Lando actor in "The Rise of Skywalker" is the same as the Lando actor in "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi" 40 years ago-Billy Dee Williams (Billy Dee Williams). The top of the cane of the elderly Lando is engraved with his full name: Landonis Balthazar Calrissian III (Landonis Balthazar Calrissian III).
Conix's styling
Lieutenant Conix’s costume and hairstyle in this film are almost identical to some of Princess Leia’s looks in "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi". In fact, her hairstyle in "The Force Awakens" and "The Last Jedi" is the same hairstyle that Princess Leia used in the original trilogy. After all, Billie Lourd, who plays Lieutenant Conix, is the daughter of Carrie Fisher. However, in the movie, Lieutenant Conix is not related to General Leia Organa.
Ben Solo shoots
In Essigo, Ben Solo shot back without looking back, knocking down an enemy. In "The Force Awakens," his father Han Solo knocked down an enemy in a similar manner in Takodana. Interestingly, Matt Martin, a member of the Lucasfilm story group, hinted that Ben Solo’s gun was given to him by Lando in the official history novel "Last Shot." It seems that this gun has been kept by Ben for more than 20 years.
"Did you hear that?"
The last line of C-3PO in the whole film "Did you hear that?" is actually the first line of the first "Star Wars" in 1977.
