Release: January 1, 2020

Film: The Rise of Skywalker

Tagline:

We remembered these tropes so you don't have to:

  • And Then What?: J.J Abrams asks this question in answer to why Rey was the emperor's granddaughter instead of nobody special. The previous movie had tied up all the character arcs for everyone. If he didn't make these changes, then there wouldn't even be a third movie.
  • The Cameo: At the end of the video, the "Crying Star Wars Fan"note  appears crying over how horrible the movie was.
  • Cuteness Proximity: The Child (a.k.a. "Baby Yoda") causes everyone, including the bitterly divided fans, to fawn over him and unite over his cuteness.
  • Golden Mean Fallacy: J.J Abrams is seen trying very hard to steer the direction of the movie on the direction that would please all the fans, but their radically opposite ideas of what's best make him to try taking a middle road that pisses off both sides.
  • The Man Behind the Man: Emperor/Mickey (aka: Disney) is shown to be the one calling the shots behind J.J Abrams.
