Rise of Skywalker?!?!?!?!

EDIT: OK NEVER MIND I WATCHED THE TRAILER IT LOOKS FUN I'M EXCITED

----

Just saw the name "The Rise of Skywalker" for Episode IX. I have seen nothing else about the film to this point - no interviews, no commentary, and not the trailer. All I have to go on is that name. I don't like the name, and I want to just vomit all my initial reactions up all over the place.

Why write it? Because I'm having a hard day separately from all this, and venting about something silly like a movie feels like a nice release. Also, I really hope I'm *wrong* about all of it - I want the movie to be awesome and blow me away. But these are my concerns....

Wasn't Episode 1 the rise of Skywalker?
What about Episode 2 - certainly that was the rise of Skywalker.
Episode 3 was definitely the *fall* of Skywalker.
Episode 4 brought us the rise of *another* Skywalker!
With Episode 5, we learned more about Skywalkers!
Episode 6 was the rise of that original Skywalker!!!
Episode 7 teased us with an awakening - could it be another Skywalker?!
Episode 8 said NO! DEFINITELY NOT! Let's kill off the Skywalkers

So this title seems to completely ignore what's come before. It very obviously is completely going against everything Episode 8 told us we shoulk thing about Skywalkers. Which, sure, a very loud and angry portion of the internet would love! But it would highlight for me the greatest failure of this trilogy so far: lack of vision. If they really just completely undo everything that 8 did, it will appear to be a complete response to fan backlash. Which again, shows no vision. 8's discarding of 7's key beats felt like a like of vision. This feels just as bad.

So which Skywalker is rising?! Kylo Ren coming back to Ben Solo? Is Rey ACTUALLY a Skywalker? What about Luke... you killed him off!! (a move I actually had no problem with, actually) The way I can see it going that could *work* is if somehow the "Skywalker" that rises here is *Anakin Skywalker* himself. This whole story was about him from the beginning. Bring him back, tie all 9 pieces together, and end HIS story.

But if they're trying to do some weird, abstract, "a true Skywalker can come from *anywhere*!!" thing - then I'm sorry, but that's garbage. It's a fine, inspiring message, but it doesn't work here. Luke was already an inspiring character. So was Leia. Even Anakin, for his part. We had great, inspiring characters with the *specific Skywalkers that we already knew!* Making some sort of ridiculous "the real Skywalker is inside all of us! Let's rise!" thing completely disregards the reasons that the stories which already happened were so good.

So here's hoping that I'm wrong! Here's hoping that this movie does a great job of wrapping it all up, putting a bow on things, and showing us that there was a vision all along....

Ok. Time to quit my whining and actually go watch the trailer.
