The Rise of Skywalker – leads us to the ultimate question that has redeemed the Star Wars saga from the beginning. According to Lucas, Anakin was chosen, which was the announced ancient prophecy, which would bring “balance” in Force.
However, fans are still not sure if he ever completed that task or – indeed – whether the power has real meaning.
Some people see the remainder as extinct. In that interpretation, Anakin achieved this – at least for a time – by bringing down Emperor Palpatine, toggling that reactor shaft, and sacrificing himself in the process. In another take, the balance can be made in Balance of the Sith, which ended with the standing of two Jedi and two seds.
The Rise of Skywalker has a real opportunity to clear that ambiguity once and for all. Across the three trilogies, the Milky Way is anything but balanced, moving from republic to empire’s anarchy and then the First Order.
In The Force Awakens, Maz Kanata touches the epic battle of good and evil through the ages. But what if the destiny of the saga is not on one side or the other? Jj Abs can redefine the true nature of the Force.
The sequel trilogy in particular – and The Last Jedi, focuses more on internal balance. Ray and Kylo Ren each have darkness and light, after all.
So perhaps The Rise of Skywalker would be seen to favor a more personal version of the balance with the extreme ideologies of the Jedi and the Sith.
The Jedi or Sith have not worked for a long time, embracing the radical notion of the military or another. Farewell to the pair – as Luke wished in the previous film – could give the feeling of finalizing The Rise of Skywalker and eventually bring the Skywalker saga closer.
Can Abrams play it safe and fulfill the desire of thrilling fans? Sure. But we already know – or, at least, skeptically – that Abram is not afraid of a reorganization of the elements of the saga.
Furthermore, for the rise of Skywalker, to live up to its name, the Skywalker family needs a real legacy that will survive in the canon. Changing the nature of the Force would undoubtedly be worthy, even if such a move is again a fan.
Do Prince Harry’s feelings threaten the royal family?
Recently, it seems that all the attention is on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. They are in the media headlines as before, and it is no secret that it is taking a toll on them both.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently announced a six-week leave from royal duties. And even earlier, he hinted at the fact that he was not at all happy with the royal life at present.
The British tabloids have become relentless in their criticism of Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry, and it seems as if anyone, they have reached a point where they can say they have had enough.
Things had gone so wrong at one time that the royal couple was considering moving away from the United Kingdom to avoid the drama that had been beset for months.
At one point, Prince Harry issued a statement defending Duchess Meghan. It is only natural that he wants to protect his wife, but does Prince Harry’s feelings threaten the royal family?
