Star Wars Episode 9, The Rise of Skywalker, debuts in theaters this Christmas, but recent alleged leaks regarding the plot have appeared on the Internet, and I have been provided with information that, if true, leads me to believe this film could be the worst Star Wars movie of all time.
That’s a tall order after The Last Jedi, but let me tell you, if this information is true, “The Rise of Skywalker” is the lamest possible “rise” ever conceived, even worse than we imagined, a laughable bit of cinematic clickbait full of implication, signifying nothing.
Now, I can’t say what I’m going to discuss in this video is actually true, and some of this has been discussed on Reddit and Twitter already, but I wanted to present my take on all this, so I’m going to present the information to you as is, in “SpoilerVision”, with the spoiler section highlighted in bright red.
I know many of your avoid spoilers understandably, but it is my opinion you should NOT fear these spoilers, and I make the case in the first part of this video as to why to want to hear these potential spoilers ahead of time, to protect yourself from pending disappointment, and to have a good laugh.
Quite a lot I believe. Although Harrison Ford got the most because he wanted to be killed off and he was.

The pre-Marvel brand, by Lee and Kirby mainly, did many horror/monster comics, before The Fantastic Four came out in 1961.
Groot is from 1960, and actually predates all but the Golden Age proto-Marvel characters (Captain America, Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner, The Human Torch).
Yes: The timeline destroyed. Vulcan destroyed. Kirk, the former walking stack of books, becomes an overaged Marty Stu.
None of the original series ever happened. All gone. Bye bye.
Modern Hollywood does not respect the intellectual property that they exploit for their egos and wallets.
As I later found out, Abrams was legally obliged to deviate from the canon Trek universe. It’s why it and ALL the present “Trek” (everything after ST: Enterprise) is the unrecognizable horror that it is.
Apparently, even the new Picard series is also legally required to drastically deviate from TNG. Because of this, it’s also why they’re having an awful time getting it off the ground (and the merchandising issue with changing the designs of everything we know, which has already proven a fiasco. If you can’t make $$ off of merchandise, you have a huge problem on your hands. The fans don’t want this Faux Trek/STD stuff).
They have some videos on the subject on Youtube, it explains this nightmarish mess and why so many of us fans cried out that the stuff of the last decade wasn’t canon (which was initially denied) has now all but been acknowledged.
Not that horrible. Benedict Cumberbatch played Kahn and Karl Urban played McCoy.
That was funny!
Not that horrible ? Let me tell you, ma’am, I’ve seen countless movies, tv shows, you name it, over my years. I’ve seen great and ghastly. The casting of Cucumberpatch as Khan Noonien Singh was the most viscerally offensive, insulting, and vile hard kick in the balls to every Star Trek fan possibly imaginable. If the first Faux Trek movie was an insult, all that came after was just one sick joke. I’d call the casting of that overrated, pasty-white English twat racist. Ricardo Montalbán must be spinning in his grave, and I’m glad he did not live to see that film made.
I watched the video. Heartbreaking. I was so geeked up Palpatine is back and he is only in the movie as basically a dark side Tony Robbins. #### that! Looks like the plot was stolen from the Serenity movie.
Yeah, but Hari Seldon created the Encyclopedia, rather than destroying the Jedi writings.
I don’t understand that Cucumberpatch casting. Obiviosuly there plan was to have Khan but lie about it and then “surprise” the audience.
A simple throwaway line could have explained his appearance (if not the accent), obviously they would have had to alter it so no one would recognize SPACE HITLER, the History channel would be running specials on Khan’s childhood non-stop, everyone in the world would know what he looked like. But no, they said nothing, and student of Earth history Spock had to ask Old Spock who Khan was, WTF.
People making movies nowadays are lazy, stupid idiots.
It could have been forgiven if Cumcumber delivered a good performance. But the character was lifeless, devoid of charm or anything really. Probably the writers fault and not his. But I have to say I saw the first 2 or eps of “Sherlock”, didn’t care for it at all.
Laura Dern with purple hair. Wow. I find her to be a very awkward and overrated actress, though I think I’ve read she’s a very nice person. I put her in the same class as Shelley Duvall -— for some inexplicable reason, critics love her.
He looks like he should be on “The Waltons” playing John-boy.
Dern was good in the David Lynch movies “Blue Velvet” and “Wild At Heart”, but other than that...
Filmmakers today are lazy idiots and their work shows that in every frame.
I hear you.
This is going to be the most surprising movie ever made!
The climax of the movie will be when Kenny Dantley wakes up from his 40 year coma to discover that his girlfriend Vanessa died when he totaled the Stingray he rebuilt in his high school shop class. His mind induced the coma to help him deal with the guilt he bears as a result of her death.
He has spent the last 40 years hallucinating that he was a mediocre actor named Mark Hamill trapped in a long term contract forcing him to be in a series of never ending sequels of a terrible movie franchise.
He finally wakes up when he deals with the guilt. Additionally, he finds that everyone that he interacted with in his coma were actually staff in the nursing home. Darth Vader is actually the orderly who catheterizes him. Chilling stuff.
This is the story of a mans struggle for consciousness. A true tear jerker!
I haven't minded the others, ("eh, whatever" is mostly how I felt) but I hated hated hated Rogue One. Of all the ways to tell the story of how the rebels got the Death Star plans, that's what they chose? Could have been a heist movie. Could have been a "Dirty Dozen" movie about those soldiers in Vietnam Era duds that show up at the end. But instead it's a tedious string of visits to Planet Whateverine to I'mLosingTrackia to WhoCaresia where they get some bit of information followed by a fight and a narrow escape in their spaceship. Like 26 times, it seemed. Then, at the end, there's suddenly a romantic subplot that absolutely nothing in the story hinted at before, followed by everyone (spoiler!) being incinerated. Bah.
Actually, what you wrote would make a good Saturday Night Live skit. Does anyone watch SNL anymore?
