With the immense controversy surrounding The Last Jedi, it seemed that the final installment of the Skywalker saga had boundless possibilities, both good and bad. As directing switched back to J.J. Abrams, who had directed The Force Awakens but not The Last Jedi, change was inevitable, and any slight deviation from the trilogy’s intended course was bound to cause some problems.

Several unforeseen twists occur, with a majority of them being based on flimsy reasoning and cluttered plotlines. Palpatine’s return is lazily written in, and Snoke’s removal is wasted and undeveloped. The big reveal of Rey’s lineage, although unexpected, doesn’t make much sense, and what is explained to be red herrings and foreshadowing from the previous movies seems more as if the writers had different storylines and resolved to jumble them up into a confusing yet profitable plot.
Several side characters are added, although not as many as the disorderly ascension in The Last Jedi, where insignificant sides were Force choked and decimated in every other scene. The addition of other stormtrooper rebels seems forced severed only as a distraction for Finn whilst Rey continues to venture.
Characters from The Force Awakens, such as Finn and Poe, feel as if they don’t get enough screen time, as Poe is excluded from a large portion of the adventure, and Finn spends his time habitually following Rey. Although Poe receives a decent backstory that extends his character without being too tacky, Finn’s previous expansion is forgotten, and his efforts are ultimately vain.
Leia’s death feels a touch unsatisfactory, but logically it checks out, as it makes sense that she dies in order to save her son. Ben, being one of the most developed characters in the trilogy, closes off his character arc at a point of redemption and fulfillment, and it seems to oddly satisfy the progression of his character. The only issue with this is that it hinders the legacy of Leia and Han, who’s deaths now feel pointless, as they sacrificed themselves for him, and in turn, he ends up still dying.
Excessive use of abnormal Force abilities causes confusion and irritation, as this allows the protagonists to slip out of sticky situations without repercussions. This is seen when Rey uses Force healing, an ability barely shown before in the Star Wars canon, to revive Ben after impulsively stabbing him.
A major annoyance of The Rise of Skywalker is the lack of real consequences, as they are seamlessly corrected before any significant issues, and thus development, can arise. When Chewie is presumably killed at the hands of Rey, we soon learn that Chewie is miraculously on another ship, and Rey manages to avoid the shame and grief of such a loss. C3PO losing his memory, although momentarily suspenseful, amounts to nothing, as it is quickly restored.
The ending is an emotionally tense spectacle, and although it may perhaps be the most enthralling part of the movie, it is also the most problematic. The theme of hope is crudely placed in, and although it is enjoyable to see the masses of forces joining the Rebellion, it is an expected and safe play, making it a rather bland climax.
Emperor Palpatine’s motives and reasoning don’t quite progress into a logical explanation for the events that occur, and it feels as if Palpatine’s dialogue is ripped straight out of Return of the Jedi. However, Rey and Palpatine’s showdown, while somewhat cheesy, is a tense and intriguing conclusion to this seemingly endless battle.
Although Rey and Ben’s kiss is followed by an audience full of excitement and celebration, one could note the afterthought not as sweet as it seemed before. Ben and Rey’s relationship, although strengthened and toiled with, is never adequately hinted to be of a romantic kind, and the underdevelopment of this crucial aspect makes the moment notably less spectacular and fulfilling.
If you watch The Rise of Skywalker with a keen eye, you will be disgruntled and vexed by the countless plot holes, as well as overall crudeness of the script. However, if you watch purely at an emotional level, The Rise of Skywalker will be a thrilling flick that tugs at your heart and leaves you with a cheesy yet satisfactory ending.

Is the Only Show About Burgers the Best Show? Nanette, 11/12s
This article is a review of the show that may be better than The Simpsons. There are five main characters.
There are many other characters as you can see on the first picture, but these characters are the main family. The show is on its tenth season, with nearly 200 episodes. The show follows the Belchers, a family of five, from their family owned burger restaurant to a secret underground Christmas party. These examples do not truly explain the weirdness of this show. If this makes it better, at one point of the show the family decides to (against Bob’s will) start a dinner theater. After deciding to do a mystery their show involves a cast with a talking tree… oh and a real burglar who pops in. You know what, nothing describes Bob’s Burgers like the show itself. Unless it has changed since a few hours ago, Bob’s Burgers is still available on Hulu.

Minecraft: The Mob that Looked like Us

The Human Mob first appeared in the pre-classic edition of Minecraft. Later in Minecraft Classic, you would be able to spawn them on a computer by pressing G. Upon later updates, both features were removed, due to being as cringy as heck. They are now only available in Minecraft maps and modifications, but otherwise is forever deleted from Vanilla Minecraft.
Drops: Nothing at all.
Behavior: Humans could not change any blocks. They would just wander around in random directions in imperfect circles, jumping at random moments. While walking, they would flail their arms. They sometimes twist their head around, giving the appearance that they just broke their own necks. They also walked through lava and water as if it weren’t there. Also, if you change your skin, they would still use the default skin. When they attacked the player, they would deal the same damage the player dealt with their bare hands. They did not use the punching animation, but simply ran into you.

Piglins have just been announced. They are basically the semi-neutral equivalent of the zombie pigmen. AND IT COMES WITH A PIGLIN BEAST! It’s probably not going to be called that, though. How about “Fireboar”?
