Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Pitch Meeting

Spoiler alert! Step inside the pitch meeting that led to Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker!

Star Wars is one of the most beloved franchises in the world and the Skywalker saga has come to an end with Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. Rey, Finn, Poe and the gang get together for one last adventure to stop Emperor Palpatine, who was apparently behind this whole thing this whole time.

The movie raises a bunch of questions. Like how exactly is Palpatine alive? Was he really pulling the strings this whole time? Is this movie just trying to course correct after The Last Jedi? Why doesn’t anything seem to have lasting consequences? What’s a force dyad? How can Rey suddenly heal everybody now? Is this a video game? Who did Emperor Palpatine make a baby with? Why can’t we stop picturing it?!!

To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to the Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker!

"So stuff's just kind of happening huh?"
"Stuff's just kind of happening."

This is the best description I've heard of The Rise of Skywalker.

[blupunk]

"Cause falling off of things doesn't really mean anything in Star Wars."

*Mace Windu glares*

[GothicFATTY]

"And then she turns to them and says 'I'm Rey, Rey Skywalker."
"But she's not though right ?"
"Absolutely not, no."
"Identity theft is *TIGHT* ".

[tryggestad]

"So stuff is just kind of happening, huh?" Still my favorite line in this.

[td]

I feel like Palpatine’s return totally undermines Vader’s sacrifice

[Timartyn]

"Super easy, barley an inconvenience" was basically the slogan of this movie.

[maxturtle]

When he said “Falcon’s gonna be like ‘on your left’” I didn’t even realize he was joking because it WAS the Millennium FALCON

[foxtrot]

While it was painfully obvious that the trilogy had no plan, JJ Abrams finally admitted that they had no plan.

[hokusman]

That moment when you realize each trilogy ended with Palpatine electrocuting himself

[Aziraphale]

I want to see the alternate ending to this movie where rey and ben keep reviving eachother/dying over and over again. "You take the life force." "No, YOU Take the life force!" Couldn't they each take like, half of the life force?

[joshg.]

Palpatine is like “If you kill me, my spirit will possess you.” and Rey is like “Well I’m not gonna do that. I don’t want to get possessed by a Sith.” Then Palpatine shoots lightning at her and she immediately kills him and he doesn’t possess her, because reasons.

Rey is the ideal protagonist for "super easy, barely an inconvenience" jokes again and again.

[ItsTheGuy]

Rey: "I'm Rey...Skywalker."

Me: "Identity theft is not a joke, Rey. Millions of families suffer every year."

[wesleyoldham-cartoonsandtv]

"So what happens in the Rise of Skywalker?"
"The last Skywalkers die!"
"Then why is it called Rise of Skywalker?"
"Because at the end, a Palpatine commits identity theft."

[TheMariokartfan]

“So she could heal him?”
“Yeah but she doesn’t”
“Oh savage!” 😂

[atroyz]

“so stuff is just kind of happening” is the best line in this pitch, and completely sums up this movie.

[redskin]

Ironically, more thought went into this script than the entire final of the trilogy.

[kuyajonny]

Palpatine’s Wife: “Let’s have a child.”

Palpatine: “Do it.”

[wasphacker]

J.J. Abrams: "Let's build this on nostalgia. Like... a lot."
Rian Johnson: "Let's subvert expectations. Like... a lot."
J.J. Abrams: "Yeah… I just wanna wrap this up now."
