Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
Wow.
But what does it mean? There has been a lot of speculation.
So here, I add my own take.
The Star Wars movies made by George Lucas has been about Anakin Skywalker. Anakin Skywalker as Darth Vader in the original movies, then Anakin's story about how he came to be Darth Vader in the prequels.
And in the new movies, Episodes 7 and 8, Anakin's legacy through his children (Luke and Leia) in shaping the galaxy after the destruction of Death Star II and the collapse of the Empire.
The way I see it, the entire series, from Episode 1 till 9, is about Anakin Skywalker.
Who is Anakin Skywalker? Anakin Skywalker is the Chosen One. The one who will bring balance to the force.
And Kylo Ren has said that he will finish what Anakin has started. Which implies that Kylo will bring balance to the force. Or, he could be the one to put an end to Palpatine, a final end that Anakin started but did not accomplish (if Palpatine returns).
With the amount of things that George Lucas borrowed from Frank Herbert's Dune in the original movies, it would not be surprising that Episode 9 will continue to borrow some concepts from Dune. When Luke's voice said, "A thousand generations live within you," it reminded me about the Other Memory of the Bene Gesserit.
If that is so, there is nothing stopping Episode 9 from borrowing other concepts from Dune. Such as the warning against a central body (in the figure of Paul Atreides, and then the God Emperor Leto II) governing over all of humanity.
Could this mean that Anakin Skywalker, and the Skywalker line, is the force that seeks to prevent any one side, whether good or bad, from controlling the galaxy?
The rise of Skywalker, the balancing force. Could this be the meaning behind the movie title?
