Somehow, Palpatine returned. Somehow, we watched this again.

Our Star Wars rewatch reaches The Rise of Skywalker—and even our resident defender of a galaxy far, far away is having trouble keeping the peace. Jason, Rachel, and returning guest Jeshua review Star Wars: Episode IX, debate the sequel trilogy’s ending, and finish by ranking all 12 Star Wars movies from worst to best.

We tackle Palpatine’s return, Rey’s parentage, Kylo Ren’s redemption, Finn’s wasted potential, and a Sith dagger apparently designed by the Goonies. There’s also plenty to love: spectacular visuals, the Death Star lightsaber duel, and Adam Driver doing his absolute best in a galaxy held together with exposition.

Did J.J. Abrams deliver a satisfying ending to the Skywalker saga—or spend an entire movie arguing with The Last Jedi? And can Ash defend Episode IX without inventing a better movie halfway through?

Then comes our final Star Wars movie ranking. The Last Jedi’s placement should ensure a calm, respectful comments section.
