Kylo Ren, after learning that the Sith Emperor Palpatine had returned and planned to rule the entire universe, prepared to end the influence and contradictions caused by the previous era in his own way.
Don't be afraid of your truest self
I don’t know when it started, but rather than saying that Star Wars is a series of movies with a fascinating world view, I see it as a belief that as long as it is released, it must be a pilgrimage. It has been 42 years since the first Star Wars movie "Star Wars: The Dawn" in 1977. During this period, relying on these 11 works including rumors, as well as other peripheral albums, comics, games, novels, together Formed this great empire that is extremely influential, as long as the name is revealed, any movie must make it a three-point great empire, and as the end of the staged task, how does "Star Wars 9: The Rise of Skywalker" perform?
Is Star Wars 9 coming to an end?
After Disney acquired Lucasfilm, they decided to create a new trilogy based on the original story structure of Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, which not only continued the theme of the old story, but also allowed movie fans to enjoy the story for many years. After revisiting the classic series that I loved at the beginning, I used the two new era characters Rey and Kylo Ren as representatives of the pros and cons, and also inherited the spirit of the inner growth of several old characters in the past after their adventures, for Star Wars. The film makes an interpretation that can make people feel innovation and sincerity, and it can even be said to be carried forward.
Perhaps the evaluation of the two works "Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens" and "Star Wars 8: The Last Jedi" tends to be polarized, and each has different views, but it is undeniable that both director J.J. Abrams used "The Force Awakens" to shape the overall structure of the entire trilogy with the love and hatred of Rey and Kylo Ren, or Ryan Johnson subverted the original audience's estimation of the story and redefines To understand the value of Star Wars and explore the most fundamental core of the Force, I think the entire series has a deeper and further story content than the past six original works.
Is Star Wars 9 good?
And just as the previous two episodes have their own different faults, "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" is not surprising. In the first part of the movie, the rhythm is not only too fast, which leads to the confusion of the narrative. As far as the plot itself is concerned, it completely replicates the past and encounters a certain threat. You must go somewhere to find something. In the process, you have to go to someone to inquire about the information because you are stuck in a bottleneck. , it is not until the end that I can finally enter the story structure of the "movie theme". Of course, there is no problem with this as an adventure movie. In fact, this is the old way of Hollywood, but if you want to end the series, this cheap arrangement method is also I can't help but wonder if I'm watching the "First Part" or the "Final Chapter".
But despite this, as the ninth and final work of Star Wars "The Legend of Skywalker", "Star Wars 9: The Rise of Skywalker" has indeed spread across the three The story of Skywalker in this era has been completed in a complete way, drawing a perfect end to this journey of chasing dreams and seeking self-identity, affirmation and value.
The legacy and continuation of "Star Wars 9"
Personally, I really appreciate that "The Last Jedi" is leading fans into a new era of gradual rise, through Rey and Kylo Ren walking on both sides of light and darkness, and the soul behind Luke Skywalker. The process of struggle and final redemption, with many unpredictable plot twists, brings out the central ideas of the whole film about "the fundamental value of the force" and "must save what we love", while "Star Wars 9: Skywalker" Rising also follows the theme of the previous two episodes and extends the concept in a more complete and detailed manner.
Although the story in the first part of the movie is not satisfactory, it is undeniable that it still achieves the purpose of brewing and laying out the conspiracy of the Sith Emperor Palpatine. I really like the scene in the film where Leah calls Rey, "Don't be afraid of your truest self." When Rey is about to leave The foreshadowing is completely run through the entire new trilogy about the "Skywalker Family", "Jedi Knight", "Light and Darkness", and "The Force".
Two complex and interesting characters
Since the unlocking of the "private chat function" of the Force in the last episode, the struggle between good and evil between Rey and Kylo Ren and the changes in their relationship have undoubtedly become the focus of all fans. Kylo Ren, a member of the Skywalker family, was tempted by the Sith to go into darkness because of Luke's mistakes. Although he still retains a trace of goodness in his heart, the anger of being betrayed by his once most trusted master still makes him strongly resist becoming a master. Jedi Knight, so in "The Force Awakens" he tried to kill his father to completely plunge himself into darkness, but the endless burning, killing and looting not only did not make him worse, but resisting his "good" nature made him The heart has become more empty, and unfortunately, the only person who is willing to talk to him is still on the opposite side of him, how lonely and helpless.
What's interesting is that Rey is just the opposite of Kylo Ren. As a Palpatine family, she was originally destined to be in a dark destiny, but because of the choice and sacrifice of her parents, and the company and the company of many people around her. Under the guidance of the side, he resists the temptation of darkness and doubts about his own life experience along the way. In the end, although he learns the amazing truth hidden behind, he can still follow the most primitive kindness in his heart.
The connection between "Star Wars 9" and reality
The genius of "Star Wars 9: The Rise of Skywalker" is to let two people who are caught in the contradiction of self-identity, struggling between light and darkness, return to the most difficult threshold in their hearts, no matter what It was Rey who faced the truth that her parents abandoned her and felt anger in her heart that she had to avenge them, or that Kylo Ren re-examined her decision to kill her father and walked into the darkness, and felt extremely ashamed and regretful in her heart. It reflects the diversity and complexity of human beings, and there is no absolute good or evil or good and evil.
Just as the series constantly emphasizes the "balance of the Force", the ebb and flow of light and darkness has always existed in our hearts. What matters is not just what we have done in the past, but whether we can face up to our truest selves now, or not. Influenced by momentary hatred and impulsiveness, we make choices that match what our heart truly desires. In the end, "Star Wars", a fictional space opera film that gathers all the cool, trendy and cool elements, the core of the story is actually the human nature closest to us, telling the audience how to face the countless setbacks and obstacles in life, I think This is the most fascinating part of this work.
The Force is still at the heart of Star Wars
Some people may think that "Star Wars 9: The Rise of Skywalker" has slapped the last episode "as long as there is a heart, everyone can have the force" setting, thinking that Rey is so powerful because of Palpatine's descendants, And secretly rejoicing at the fact that no-one is not qualified to use the Force after all, this seems very reasonable on the surface, but in fact it is a big mistake. After reading this trilogy, we might as well look back and think about the true existence value of the Force and its representative meaning. Is it superficial that people can only use lightsabers flexibly, take objects from the air, and strangle their necks? Or when a person is confident and confident that he can achieve a certain challenge, the strong will displayed in the heart?
It's like: "The power of people together is always stronger than a hero fighting alone." This has always been the central idea that every Star Wars movie wants to convey to the audience. In the film, Finn and Mr. Bo Isn't the "feeling" of knowing the direction of one's goal also a force? I can clearly see director J.J. Abrams in "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" trying to find a balance from all angles, fully interpreting the sentence: "May the Force be with you forever. "The efforts made, coupled with the wonderful performances of Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley, present the complex emotions of the characters, giving the whole film a solid emotional weight.
Film review conclusion
Although as the story of Skywalker comes to an end, we also have to say goodbye to "Star Wars", but in this story that emphasizes will and spiritual heritage, we seem to be able to end this legend at the same time. A state that is constantly continuing, or even exists in our hearts in another form. I thought about this stage, will Disney still make a sequel? What theme will you choose? Will Rey appear again? For us, it should no longer be the focus. I think we should review how much moved and inspired I have been in these three, or even nine films?
It's like the transition from "The Force Awakens", "The Last Jedi" to "The Rise of Skywalker" symbolizes that no matter how many eras have passed, the essence of the Force will not diminish and change, and the charm and charm of Star Wars itself. Status, fans love Star Wars, and the motivation to enter the pilgrimage with this heart will never be diluted by time.
