Summary The Star Wars saga is filled with some of the most compelling characters in science fiction and often gives them highly memorable endings, but not all are equally satisfying. Compelling character arcs elevate expectations for how their story will end, which can lead to incredible resolutions or deeply disappointing ones. Even if the general idea behind a character ending is good, it can be ruined by poor storytelling choices and uninspired execution.
The sequels had a chance to differentiate Ben's story from Anakin Skywalker's and explore new possibilities. Star Wars: The Last Jedi already paralleled Return of the Jedi by having Kylo Ren team up with Rey, only for him to commit to the dark side. The Rise of Skywalker could have kept him the main villain or had him turn back to the light but survive and spend the rest of his life atoning for his actions.
It's possible that the bond between Anakin and Padmé through the Force contributed to her death, but the movie doesn't do enough to make this clear. It's also disappointing that Padmé spends most of the film just being pregnant and comforting Anakin after being a Queen, Senator, and fighter throughout the first two movies.
Luke Skywalker's story was very different in the Star Wars Legends timeline, where he successfully rebuilt the Jedi Order and even started a family.Created By Dave Filoni Cast Freddie Prinze Jr.
While the story itself had potential, the execution was a bit messy at times, and the ending was disappointing. Ben Solo fully returned to the light and had a chance to redeem himself before his death, but Jacen did not have the same opportunity, leading to him being slain by his own sister. Jacen's family believed he returned to the light in his last moments, but even Darth Vader had more redemption than he did.
