Fair point. Ultimately they are all quasi related. Eww does that make the Rey Kylo kiss a cousin thing? :) 

Well but isn’t that the ultimate defeat. It was never about the Skywalker surviving.  But they won. The Skywalkers taught her, she chose to be good with Luke as inspiration and ultimately freed the galaxy and chose their name. Palpatine defeated by his own lineage trianed by skywalkers and a Skywalker in Kylo that…

I actually think the palatine thing worked great. As you say her being a Skywalker doesn’t work. Her being a nobody doesn’t really work being she is so powerful. This worked for me. But then having her choose to ‘identify’ as a Skywalker and even having kylo’s energy in her also making her somewhat genetically a…

I actually do. That rumor was going around and at the time it seemed like huh? But I’m the art books for 7 or maybe they didn’t include those until 8 because it had ending spoilers in it.. anyway. JJ has drawing done of the Death Star remains under water. And Rey or Kira as she was named then going to get something…

I think it was back on Naboo when he must have had a kid. But yes that’s funny. I was so happy his scream laugh here was not the cheesy ‘noooo Nooo’ from the prequels :)

Agreed that i need to see a timeline on that. That said so I think doing the math it means when he was still a charming looking senator on Naboo he must have had a kid. Maybe he knew about him and was married or maybe he ‘got busy’ as senators do at bars sometimes. Let’s assume the son was tested and not force…

Agreed with not explicitly mentioning it but I do like that it was mentioned in the prequels and then it could be assumed that the ancient Jedi texts described force healing at least and then raising from the dead is just a natural extension from it. I think JJ did well for clearly trying to cram two movies worth of…

Well like it or not T least it was consistent. They established in 8 that they could pass things through their connection. Kylo felt water from Rey in one scene and something else. And force healing has been a thing in books and such before. When they said ‘new force powers’ in 9 I was worried but force healing and a…

I agree with your points. Basically what i would have posted. I think the people in the arena were spirits. Not real people. I think the crew for the star destroyers is a good point but could have been being gathered over the years. I also think they brushed past it but once Palpatine Connected w first order he stole…

I really think Battlegrounds looks cool; just a little disappointed they didn't really drop anything new if you've been paying attention - other than the anti-announcement that there is no new game; I like that, it's just not the same as saying "..and here are the next 2 play sets" - they still have Peter Pan coming…

First of all, I do appreciate you article and mentioning that you really like it but have some gripes. After so many snarky articles and just “this is stupid,” I appreciate someone not just being polarizing.
