The banality of evil. The true message of TROS. And as a tasty bonus, my extra special pick of all the extra special cringeworthy moments of TROS. It ends on a hopeful note, with Tchaikovsky's beautiful Slavic March that was one of the musical inspirations for John Williams.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
The Rise of Skywalker is not a deed of perverted sadists but of „terrifyingly normal“ people.
And that’s what makes this entire situation frightening - it reminds us of a similar historical incident.
Hannah Arendt found Eichmann (the Nazi operative responsible for organizing the transportation of millions of Jews and others to various concentration camps in support of the Nazi’s Final Solution) an ordinary, rather bland, bureaucrat, who in her words, was ‘neither perverted nor sadistic’, but ‘terrifyingly normal’.
He acted without any motive other than to diligently advance his career in the Nazi bureaucracy. Eichmann was not an amoral monster, she concluded in her study of the case, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil (1963). Instead, he performed evil deeds without evil intentions, a fact connected to his ‘thoughtlessness’, a disengagement from the reality of his evil acts. Eichmann ‘never realized what he was doing’ due to an ‘inability… to think from the standpoint of somebody else’.

TROS reveals a deeply seated sadism, hatred for women, total ignorance of female reality, and echoes the misogyny of Freud’s theories & postmodernists like Lacan who also negated women as an autonomous existence and only recognized women in relation to the male ego, desires, etc.
Women are a fantasy for males to build up or tear down and dehumanize in one way or another.
Very rarely is a woman given the recognition of independent complex humanity that men assume for themselves and give each other.
I think it's high time to defy these cynical narratives.
