After 42 years (naturally) the Star Wars saga finally came to an end with Episode 9, The Rise of Skywalker. In this episode we talk about The Rise of Skywalker as a conclusion to the Star Wars Saga. We discuss whether Skywalker Saga or Palpatine saga is a more fitting name. We discuss the narrative shifts between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. We also debate the Reylo relationship and how the film ends.
In this week’s five-minute controversy we ask if Kathleen Kennedy was out of line for saying that there’s no existing material that Lucasfilm can use to adapt into new Star Wars stories.
This week Ryan, Anji, Eric, and Juliette join the cast.

Last Jedi hit movie theaters two years ago, and the reaction was unprecedented. It made its bank as expected, but the controversies both in and out of universe raged in a way that no single movie has ever provoked. With The Rise of Skywalker premiering this year, we decided that it was time to pull out our review of The Last Jedi. We discuss many of the issues and concerns that people have about the movie and give our own opinions. We also talk about the further development of “The Skywalker saga”, speculate on some of the mysteries, and say what we’d like to see in the final installment.
