Episode 42 - Revisiting The Rise of Skywalker

April 26, 2020 by Justin Brady in Movies, Podcasts, Star Wars

Join the Credible Nerds as we revisit Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. This episode is for Star Wars fans by Star Wars fans. We have special first time guest hosts, Blake and Nathan, joining us to revisit The Rise of Skywalker. Ep 9 just came out on digital release and we've rewatched it and discuss what we think of the film 4 months later.

We discuss if this sequel trilogy is Rey's Journey or is it in fact Kylo Ren's Journey? We give arguments as to both sides. We break down what in the film worked for us and what left us wanting. We also discuss the different main characters and how their overall journey in the Sequel Trilogy was addressed, Rey, Finn, Poe, Kylo, and even C-3PO!

We discuss where's the romance in the sequel trilogy? Are we okay with Rey taking the Skywalker name? Listen and find out!

Also, Nathan tries to help us learn new words and uses the word apropos a few times.
