Talk From Superheroes: Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker
We’re here for a good time and a long time as we talk about Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and the end of this nine movie ennealogy (a word we looked up because we’re fancy.) On this week’s podcast we discuss the return of fun banter, our differing opinions on that ending, and the part we were supposed to cry but laughed.

Our favorite part (SPOILERS FOR RISE OF SKYWALKER)
Diana: The biggest thing in this movie I would change is Finn because I am furious that he didn’t cause a Stormtrooper Rebellion. I always thought Finn was going to be kind of like Teal’c in Stargate, a soldier who rebels and then leads a further rebellion of soldiers who work for the bad guys, and I really thought that’s what Finn’s whole arc was going to be because now we know Storm Troopers aren’t clones who are genetically modified to obey, they’re children who are taken away from their families and indoctrinated by the First Order, which makes them much more capable of rebelling. So Finn rebels in the first one and in the second one everyone knows who he is and what’s he done.
Andrew: All the storm troopers know about it. They call him traitor and are hunting him down.
Diana: They also all see him defeating Phasma and she admits to being cowardly and breaking under rebel pressure, it’s all set up perfectly, and then Finn meets this other stormtrooper who has also rebelled but not because of Finn! She did it because the Force did it.
Andrew: And she did it with her whole crew, so she did it better than he did.
Diana: Yes, so Finn hasn’t inspired or recruited a single person into rebelling. So my exact change in this movie would be Finn gets to inspire rebellion among storm troopers. Jannah’s group specifically rebels because of him, then he realizes he can inspire MORE rebellion and so when they’re on Exegol and they have no backup coming he uses the transponder satellite and he does a big broadcast about how the soldiers are the ones with the power and he convinces the stormtroopers to rebel against the First Order.
Andrew: It almost sounds like Captain America’s speech in Winter Soldier.
Diana: A little bit. Then in my version all the stormtroopers kind of look at each other like, “are you gonna rebel?” and the ones who decide they will take off their helmets, they become individuals, and they fight back. So Finn starts a rebellion of stormtroopers and that’s how they really win the star wars, not by just killing another Sith but by convincing an entire army of soldiers to stand with them and to stand down.
