I always wonder if it would have been awesome if the last Jedi ended with this instead of it popping up in Fortnite. Maybe it wouldn’t have felt like a stupid afterthought. Though clearly that’s what it was.
Long story short, before rise of Skywalker there was a Fortnite event that featured emperor Palpatine sending a message to the universe that he was back. It never happened in the movies. Rise of Skywalker’s opening scrolling text talks about this message from Palpatine. It was all just a crummy afterthought.
Star Wars has never been “good”. It’s just always been entertaining. Luke is absolutely insufferable the the OT movies. He whines non-stop in ANH and Empire, and then he comes back in ROTJ as some snobby holier-than-thou prick. We just love Star Wars because it meant something to use when we were kids.
Also bringing you hits like: “Somehow, Palpatine returned…” and “Yousa thinking yousa people ganna die?”
“They fly now?”
They fucking always have. I hated this specific line so much, completely separate from other reasons to dislike 9.
Don’t forget, “if you don’t play Fortnite, you’re going to miss important exposition”.
Wait, did Palpatine canonically escape the Fortnite dimension?
Like… that’s the ‘somehow he returned?’
Fortnite is in Star Wars. They just haven’t been to that planet yet in the show.
Can’t wait to see Rey discover the remains of an ancient battlebus.
They explain it in the movie, he force jumped between bodies.
But yeah the contents of the message they steal in the begining isn’t played anywhere except in Fortnite
Lol I forgot about that

I’m going to need some help with this one…
Me too.

Shit gets cut from movies all the time. No reason to be upset.
Nobody’s upset here buddy.
I’m not your buddy, friend.
This means episode 9 really is “made X from fortnite real”. It’s a 2 hour addition to a fortnite event. It makes so much sense now! crazed laughter
I would have been more forgiving if it were just a part of the Fortnite event.
The entire “love story” between Anakin and Padme is barf worthy

“Somehow, Palpatine returned…” is a line that makes sense in context… He doesn’t know how Sidious came back.
Though keeping the contents of the message locked to a temporary Fortnite event was stupid.
Force healing and Disney kiss of resurrection
