Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker
One block line fromStar Wars : The Force Awakensproves that Anakin Skywalker should have been full of life toStar Wars : The ascension of Skywalker . While Hayden Christensen made a small vocalization cameo at the remainder ofThe Rise of Skywalker , his role could and should have been much more prominent give the eccentric ’s grandness to the Skywalker saga . With Anakin being pin as the Chosen One of the Force sinceStar Wars : Episode I - The Phantom MenaceandThe Rise of Skywalkerfeaturing the return of the disruptor of the Force ’s balance in Emperor Palpatine , Anakin Skywalker should have been more integral to the sequel .
That enounce , The Rise of Skywalkermissed the unadulterated opportunity to play Anakin Skywalker back . This probability link to theobsession Kylo Ren had with Darth VaderinThe Force Awakensand one forget line emit in the first sequel photographic film which go out no right result . Not only would Anakin ’s usage inThe Rise of Skywalkerhave resolved what ’s now seemingly a throwaway short letter fromThe Force Awakens , but it would have fixed two of the sequel trilogies ' biggest issues .
Anakin Redeeming Kylo Would’ve Fit Force Awakens' “Finish What You Started” Line
The forgotten line fromStar warfare : The Force Awakenscomes early in the film , in which Kylo Ren is idolise Darth Vader ’s disheveled masquerade party before stating"Show me again , the power of the darkness … show me , grandfather , and I will finish what you started . “This automatically sets up Kylo Ren ’s obsession with Vader , who he asks to pull him forth from the igniter and back towards the dark side . The scene offeredThe Rise of Skywalkerthe perfect opportunity to apply Anakin to redeem Kylo , rather than Han Solo .
The reason this would have been double-dyed is that the line fromThe Force Awakensdoes not make a lot of common sense , as Kylo is deifying Vader despite the latter ’s eventual redemption . However , if Anakin had been used as the mean value of Kylo ’s salvation , he could have explained his own turn back to the visible radiation and revealed that Kylo was never cognizant of Anakin ’s redemption . If Anakin himself had made Kylo cognizant of this , it would explain his compulsion with Vader and also have flip the scene inThe Force Awakensby having the man Ren wished would take out him back to the iniquity really pull up him to the luminance .
Anakin Redeeming Kylo Ren Would Have Fixed 2 Major Sequel Trilogy Problems
ShouldAnakin Skywalker have brought Ben Solobackto the light side of the Force , two major issues with the subsequence trilogy would have been avert . The first surrounds the invalidation of Anakin Skywalker ’s prefer One arc that the prequels introduced . Through Palpatine surviving inReturn of the Jedionly to terrorize the extragalactic nebula once again , Anakin ’s redemption and subsequent proceeds of counterbalance to the Force was rendered inconsequent . However , Anakin bringing Ben Solo back to the light side and lead to the latter play a vital role in Palpatine ’s defeat would have mean Anakin was indirectly responsible for for discontinue Palpatine once again .
The other issue this would have fixed with the subsequence trilogy is its want of overall connection to the Skywalker saga . While the films are dub as the continuation , they still should have made more of an sweat to unite to George Lucas ' prequel trilogy rather of just the original films . By including Hayden Christensen ’s Anakin Skywalker , this would have been rectified . The master fictional character of the prequel trilogy appearing at such a vital part in the final film of the saga would have made the sequel trilogy as a whole find much more interrelated with the other Skywalker celluloid , rather than the disjoined entities they presently show as .
Han Solo Redeeming Ben Is Still One Of The Sequels’ Best Scenes
All that being said , the fact remains that Han Solo redeeming Ben is still one of the continuation trilogies ' good vista . The performances of Harrison Ford and Adam Driver are marvelous , and having Han be the one to ransom his son almost absolve the latter of the murder of the former . The cost increase of Skywalker’sbiggest subject is in its script , yet the piece of writing in this scene score the picture ’s high point in that regard . The callbacks toKylo and Han ’s conversation inThe Force Awakenswork particularly well , in one of the few times the film sufficiently explores a previousStar Warselement .
While Anakin would have arguably fit the intact franchise easily , Episode IX’sHan aspect certainly fit the story separate in the sequels . Ford ’s issue toStar Warsas a way of honoring the late Carrie Fisher ’s memory is beautiful , and Leia ’s presence is feel throughout the view as it culminates with an all - timeStar Warsmoment . After his son silently tell him he loves him , Han Solo ’s concluding speech of the Skywalker saga are simply"I make out " . All of this makes for a corking scene , no matter of whether Anakin ’s return inStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalkerwould have rectified a cardinal mistake ofThe Force Awakensor not .
