The ninth entry of the main ''[[Star Wars]]'' films, '''''The Rise of Skywalker''''' (also known as '''''Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker''''') is the [[Grand Finale]] of the Skywalker Saga.
Line 19:
* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: Rey had clung to the fantasy that she was [[Lost Orphaned Royalty]] and descended from some great, important lineage. Then Kylo tells her that she's a {{spoiler|Palpatine}}.
* [[Beauty Is Never Tarnished]]: Averted with Rey. The final fight leaves her bleeding and covered in grime.
<!-- * [[Become Their Own Antithesis]]: Something both Luke and Rey acknowledge when discussing a powerful Jedi exiling themselves to Ahch-To. MOD: No trope by this name on this wiki. -->
* [[Big Bad]]: {{spoiler|Emperor Palpatine.}}
* [[Black Speech]]: Sith tongue.
Line 41:
* [[Did Not Get the Girl]]: {{spoiler|Gender-Inverted with Rey and Kylo Ren. Ben Solo dies saving Rey.}}
** [[Played for Laughs]] with Poe. He non-verbally suggests that he and Zorii go have some celebratory sex but she rolls her eyes and turns him down. He takes it quite well.
* [[
* [[The End - or Is It?]]: Poe and Finn discuss this in the novel. If {{spoiler|Palpatine}} cheated death at Endor, whose to say he didn't cheat it again on Exegol?
** When the Resistance arrives on Exegol, their motley fleet is quickly overwhelmed by the Final Order's turbolasers and legions of TIE Daggers. It's bad enough that Rey consents to {{spoiler|Palpatine}}'s plan if it means calling off the attack. Had Ben Solo and the Citizens' Fleet not shown up then, the Final Order would have won through sheer military might.▼
** After stealing enough [[Life Energy]] from Ben and Rey, {{spoiler|Palpatine}} fires a massive storm of Force lightning that disables the Citizens' Fleet. If Rey hadn't gotten [[Backup From Otherworld]] to overpower him, he would have bought enough time for the ''Xyston''-fleet to launch.▼
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: Teased but ultimately subverted. When Rey arrives on Exegol, the film teases that {{spoiler|Palpatine}} is, in his own twisted way, proud of his granddaughter and considers her a worthy heir. Even when he heals himself, he's content to leave Rey unharmed while he tried to murder Ben Solo. But when she finally makes clear that she will not submit to him, he has no issue trying to kill her.
* [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]: The Final Order cannot comprehend why the people of the galaxy are rising up against {{spoiler|Palpatine}} rather than rolling over in fear.
Line 59 ⟶ 62:
* [[Hijacked by Ganon]]: {{spoiler|Palpatine}} is the hidden mastermind behind Supreme Leader Snoke and the First Order.
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: On such a dark side power high, {{spoiler|Palpatine}} cannot stop himself from channeling Force lightning at Rey, even when she begins deflecting back at him in an [[Advancing Wall of Doom]]. Results in quite a [[Karmic Death]].
* [["It" Is Dehumanizing]]: He never refers to Rey by "it", but {{spoiler|Palpatine}} is clearly using this trope, never using her first name and talking about her in detached terms such as "the girl", "my grandchild" and "Empress {{spoiler|Palpatine}}".
* [[Irony]]: It's now Luke, well his Force ghost, who tries to convince Rey to leave Ahch-To. He lampshades it.
* [[Last of His Kind]]: After Leia dies, Kylo Ren/Ben Solo is the last of the Skywalker lineage. {{spoiler|He doesn't make it out alive.}}
Line 67 ⟶ 70:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: The First Order. Most of their members thought "the first order" was referencing Palpatine's command to restore the Galactic Empire. The Emperor's {{spoiler|survival}} reveals that [[Those Were Only Their Scouts|"first" meant "vanguard"]], keeping the galaxy soft and divided until the ''Final'' Order could arrive.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: The legions of Sith troopers are all named after old Sith Lords from ''Legends''; Revan, Andeddu, Tanis, Tenebrous, Phobos, and Desolous.
▲* [[Near Villain Victory]]: Twice.
▲** When the Resistance arrives on Exegol, their motley fleet is quickly overwhelmed by the Final Order's turbolasers and legions of TIE Daggers. It's bad enough that Rey consents to {{spoiler|Palpatine}}'s plan if it means calling off the attack. Had Ben Solo and the Citizens' Fleet not shown up then, the Final Order would have won through sheer military might.
▲** After stealing enough [[Life Energy]] from Ben and Rey, {{spoiler|Palpatine}} fires a massive storm of Force lightning that disables the Citizens' Fleet. If Rey hadn't gotten [[Backup From Otherworld]] to overpower him, he would have bought enough time for the ''Xyston''-fleet to launch.
* [[Never Trust a Title]]: Despite the title, {{spoiler|Palpatine}}'s machinations see the Skywalker line finally extinguished.
* [[Not in This For Your Revolution]]: Why is {{spoiler|Hux}} leaking information to the Resistance? Not because he believes in the cause, but simply {{spoiler|because he hates Kylo Ren that much.}}
<!-- * [[Outliving One's Offspring]]: {{spoiler|Palpatine pulls an extreme version of this. Not only did he outlive his son but the 2017 ''Darth Vader'' comic teased that, via midichlorian manipulation, he's also Anakin's father, or '''at very least''', had a big part in his conception, meaning he outlived ''four'' of his descendants. And he fully intended to outlive Rey as well.}} MOD: Not a trope here. -->
* [[Ragnarok Proofing]]:
** Despite spending decades underwater, Luke's X-Wing is still perfectly functional. The novelization says that Rey fixed it up a bit during the events of ''The Last Jedi''.
Line 87:
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: As a flashback reveals, Rey is damn-near the spitting image of her mother.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: What does {{spoiler|Palpatine}} do when he sees Rey deflecting his Force lighting back at him? Double its intensity.
* [[The
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: Pryde to {{spoiler|Palpatine}}. The second he sees his old master, he pledges the entirety of the First Order to him.
▲* [[The Unreveal]]: What did Finn want to tell Rey? Per [[Word of God]], it's that he's a Force sensitive, something that's hinted it when he immediately knows that it's her piloting the X-Wing.
* [[Wham! Line]]:
** "I [{{spoiler|Palpatine}}] made Snoke."
