Trivia

It is revealed that before Poe Dameron joined the Resistance, he was a spice smuggler. Oscar Isaac's next major film after this one is Dune (2020) which is about a war in space over who controls spice. Also, while escaping a group of TIE fighters, Poe and friends briefly visit a planet with a giant worm emerging from the sand. Sandworms are iconic creatures of the Dune series. See more »

Emperor Palpatine: My boy, I made Snoke. I have been every voice...

Emperor Palpatine: The First Order was just the beginning. I will give you so much more.
Kylo Ren: You'll die first.
Emperor Palpatine: I've died before. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural.

No way to enjoy this
25 June 2020 | by k-86242See all my reviews

The story makes no sense

The amazons and horses were truly idiotic

The reveal is lame and left me in disbelief

No pretty women to check out

The last scene was so cheesy. No you are not a Skywalker. Seriously. you are not.
