Toxic Fans Will Try to Destroy Rise of Skywalker.The Intergalactic Cool of Billy Dee Williams.Star Wars, and every other tentpole reboot or sequel or remake, exists because of our (or the studios in power) fear or unwillingness to try anything new-a distrust and blind hatred of the unknown.
In fact, the first words of the opening crawl-again, not a spoiler, folks-are: “The Dead Speak!” That in itself seems like a succinct indication that death of the main characters and even our own real-world mortality is not enough to stop this Star Wars story from ever truly ending.Īfter concluding twice before, Star Wars returned once again out of nowhere when we didn’t think we cared about it any longer, much like Palpatine’s voice in early Rise of Skywalker trailers. The sheer existence of this new series is predicated on the fact that our collective pop culture consciousness will not let the passions of our parents die. There’s a moment in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker where a character-I won’t say who or when to avoid spoilers, which I assure you this is not-says: “What our mothers and fathers fought for we will not let die.” This to me worked on a number of levels when considering the decades-spanning Star Wars franchise as a whole.
