Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker
WhenStar warfare : The Rise of Skywalkercapped off the Skywalker Saga in 2019 , it was impossible to miss the similarities toAvengers : Endgame , which had bestow the MCU ’s Infinity Sage to a close earlier that year . Some comparison was to be expect with both films released by Disney and serve as the grand finale to thebest movie franchisesof all time . Certain similarities can be attributed to common movie tropes reserved for the final first appearance in a fantasy epic , while others are so obvious it ca n’t be a coincidence .
Despite theparallels betweenEndgameandThe Rise of Skywalker , many sports fan and critic would argue that borrowing from the former did not serve the latter . The Rise of Skywalkersuffered from pacing issue , trying to do too much at the last second , and emphasizing fan service over a compelling story . However , Endgamealso had multiple character arcs and an abundance of fan service , yet it received much more praise upon passing . Even thoughThe rising of Skywalkerborrowed hard fromEndgame , it may not have copied the ideas that could have improve theStar Warssequel trilogy ’s final film .
The Many Parallels Between Endgame & Rise Of Skywalker
It’s funny how obvious they are
The concluding battle in the third routine is where the most obvious parallel betweenAvengers : EndgameandStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalker are found . InEndgame , Steve Rogers / Captain America prepares to converge his final stage against Thanos ' army , only to hear Sam Wilson / Falcon in his earpiece , top to all the MCU characters make it to fight . A like moment come about inThe Rise of Skywalkerwith Poe Dameron , who is about to give up but suddenly hears Lando Calrissian in his headset , break the monolithic Galaxy Fleet that has go far to avail the Resistance .
Star Wars : The Rise of Skywalker had a net battle similar in many way to Avengers : Endgame ’s , but it could n’t match the same level of quality .
Near the oddment of the battle , Thanos declares"I am inevitable"before snapping his fingers , only to realize the Infinity Stones are run . Tony / Stark / Iron Man then hold them up and says"And I … am … Iron Man"before snapping Thanos ' army out of macrocosm . The Rise of Skywalkerhas Emperor Palpatine proclaim that"I am all the Sith"while Rey responds by saying"And I … I ’m all the Jedi,“redirecting Palpatine ’s lighting and destroying him . As much asThe emanation of Skywalkercopied the battle with Thanos , it play up why Palpatine was far less compelling as a villain .
Palpatine’s Plan Was Less Interesting In Rise Of Skywalker
He went from manipulating the galaxy to conquering it
Ian McDiarmid once again play Palpatine perfectly inStar warfare : The Rise of Skywalker , but the picture made the character less interesting than in old pic . Palpatine was a smart as a whip villain in theStar Warsprequel trilogy because he took over the Republic from within , rather than conquer it from without . The Sith had learned that the Jedi and the Republic would always stand against an invading US Army , so Palpatine play the foresighted biz and manipulate the galaxy into following him . It exhibit that the Sith could learn and develop , permit them to destroy the Jedi and make an Empire .
While the originalStar Warstrilogy was more straightforward , Palpatine ’s programme was a raw extension of his actions in the prequels . He secretly constructed the Death Star and planned to assert inviolable control over the galaxy once it was finished . However , when Palpatine tried to repeat this program inThe Rise of Skywalker , it finger lackluster because he did n’t learn from his mistakes . He made a bigger version of a program that had already die double in the original trilogy , butAvengers : Endgameshows how Palpatine ’s ultimate goal could have been different .
Palpatine Should Have Used Thanos' Plan
Destroy the galaxy and create a new one in his image
Unlike Palpatine , who repeated the same commonplace plan , Thanos learned and adapted inAvengers : Endgame . He ab initio wanted to wipe out one-half of all living so the other one-half could thrive , but he realized any subsister would always jib and see a mode to loosen his actions . He therefore decided to destroy the universe and create a new one full of living that would only love what Thanos had fall in them,“A grateful universe . “Was this slightly inconsistent with Thanos ' role and motivations fromAvengers : Infinity War ? Perhaps , but it would be utter for a Sith Lord like Palpatine .
Palpatine should have recognize that resistor was inevitable , so this time he would destroy every existing civilization and create a young society truehearted to his vision .
Instead of construct the Final Order fleet to conquer the extragalactic nebula by effect , Palpatine ’s programme should have been to destroy the galaxy . The ancient Sith tried seize the galaxy with brute military capability , and then they attempt taking over from within , but the people resisted both times . Palpatine should have realized that resistance was inevitable , so this sentence he would destroy every existing civilization and create a raw society loyal to his vision . This would importantly raise the stake from the previous trilogieswhile justifying Palpatine ’s undue fleet .

Why Else Would Palpatine Build So Many Death Stars?
There has to be a new reason for a repetitive concept
While the Final Order fleet had more range than a exclusive Death Star , Palpatine never learned from previous mistakes . The Rebellion and the Resistance prove on three separate occasions that they would always receive a way to blow up a superweaponcreated by the Empire , no matter how swelled or sinewy . If he was set on doing the same plan again , there postulate to be a good ground , and wiping out galactic civilization would have been a different approach .
Of of course , this would n’t bushel every problem withThe Rise of Skywalker , but copyingEndgamea small more could have serve . Endgamewas three time of day long , allowing the story to take its time and wrap up every grapheme arc while working in plenty of fan service . The ascension of Skywalkerdidn’t need to be three hours long , but give it more time or cutting out unnecessary minute would have helped . In the end , Star warfare : The Rise of Skywalkerdid not read the right lesson fromAvengers : Endgame , making the former an deficient finale compare to the latter .
