Why Disney Star Wars is the BEST Star Wars #starwarsexplained

The Star Wars Sequel Trilogy finally gave us true Star Wars. It elevated the lacklustre Star Wars saga from George Lucas' generic and forgettable tripe to something brilliant and epic, defining a whole genre.

The Force Awakens broke new ground in cinema, while Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi finally gave us characters we could relate to. Rey is much more believable and relatable than Luke Skywalker, while in Rose Tico we at long last had a diverse actor given an essential role in a Star Wars film.

The Rise of Skywalker then wrapped it all up in a modern epic, JJ Abrams excelling himself in giving us a satisfying end for the stories of Rey, Kylo Ren, Emperor Palpatine, Snoke, and Babu Frik.

We should thank Disney for finally letting Star Wars hit its potential. The sequel trilogy is no only brilliant in its own right, it is by far the best Star Wars has to offer.

    Hilarious. I thought the best part was how they took the time to free some horses from captivity but never gave a moment's thought to freeing children from slavery.
  • @cykurosaki1337
    “Somehow Palpatine returned” has to be one of the most iconic and thought provoking lines in history. It made me think how stupid the sequel trilogy is.

    I was hate-watching this at first bc i thought he was serious but then i realized that it was a joke and started laughing my ass off. Well done sir.
  • @Bergzore
    I'm imagining all the ultra-woke people watching this and not realizing it's sarcastic lol.
  • @gilmadreth680
    My shields can't repel sarcasm of this magnitude. Well done sir.
  • @suenzhong7891
    I can't believe you managed to speak through this whole thing without laughing. I would have died from asphyxiation induced by wheezing fits of hilarity.
  • @user-fu7zf4ck9z
    The “dying and come back to life“ part had me dead 💀💀

    If I didn’t notice the date, I’d actually hate this video. Your satire is well done. Well played sir. Well played.
  • The single greatest moment of symbolism occurs at the end of Episode IX. As Rey Palpatine Skywalker tosses the lightsabers of Anakin and Luke into a hole in Tatooine, a planet both men hated and tried to escape from, she, a Palpatine, having killed the entire Skywalker line, smiles in victory, usurping their titles and claiming their flesh as her own while throwing the corpses of the Skywalker right back to a place they always hated, and always wanted to leave. Truly, truly the symbolism reflects not just Star Wars, but countless other franchises, Disney, and indeed all of modern cinema as it bravely throws the dead into humiliating positions and selflessly usurps titles, artifacts, and money, forever planting themselves proudly as queer feminist icons of triumphant assurance in absolute victory over those MEN who selfishly created entire worlds and mansplained to whole generations of impressionable youth, with such terrible messages as hard work (which is racist) and perseverance (which is sexist). Beautiful moments, it was so beautiful I had known about it before the movie even aired and spoiled it to everyone, so they wouldn’t weep in joy at seeing such genius writ out across the screen, so that they could enjoy all other media - inferior media.

    It’s as if the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy narrator narrated the Disney sequel trilogy.
  • 0:27 Love the use of the youngling scene with the "space wizards for children" quote. Beautiful
  • This video is amazing. The dryness to your humor and the sarcasm is 2nd to none. I literally laughed out loud to this and then sat in desolation as I pondered the trueness of it all.
  • @iksarguards
    You broke me at 5:02 when you called Johnson our generation's answer to Hitchcock and Kubrick. Well struck, good form.
  • @PTucket
    I became a Patreon supporter because of this video. I have never watched a more succinct and incisive critique of the sequel trilogy. The supporting visual evidence is synchronized perfectly with your narrative. Brilliant.
  • @tylersperry9164
    Well done. "Not understanding them is the key to understanding them" is a keen insight that explains so much of modern film and television. (Even if it does sound a bit like something a 20th century French philosopher would say.)
  • 5:19 "A man who sees women as a commodity and their milk as his birthright." This made me laugh so fucking hard.
