Only one of Disney’s Star Wars sequel movies truly fits into the wider scope of the Skywalker saga: Rain Johnson’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the only sequel movie in the trilogy to fit into the overall scope of the Skywalker saga. While The Last Jedi had an incredibly divisive reaction upon its release in 2017 and is still dividing the fanbase to this day, the film is the only sequel with strong connections across all nine Skywalker saga films. This is evident throughout the film in various ways and makes one thing about its predecessor and successor come to the fore.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While the argument could be made that Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the best movie in the sequel trilogy or that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has the most pure fun elements, Star Wars: The Last Jedi stands clear in one aspect. Rian Johnson's script for the film is meticulously crafted, to say the least, and has plot elements impacting it that stretch back to the prequel trilogy.
Combined with Luke stating that the legacy of the Jedi is failure, hypocrisy, and hubris, The Last Jedi uses core themes of the prequel trilogy as one of the film's major throughlines. Even the fact alone that Luke refers to Palpatine as Darth Sidious - a name only used in the prequel trilogy - gives The Last Jedi stronger prequel connections than either Episodes VII or IX.
The Force Awakens And Rise Of Skywalker Rely On Original Trilogy Nostalgia On the other hand, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker rely very heavily on original trilogy elements. With the former, the crux of the film revolves around finding a map to Luke Skywalker, the hero of the Rebellion.
Similarly, The Rise of Skywalker also relies on original trilogy nostalgia. While the last film in the Skywalker saga had the potential to tie itself to the prequels through Palpatine's return, the film chose to focus on that character's original trilogy connections. Sidious' return is linked to Endor and the second Death Star, and is frustratingly underdeveloped rather than delving into the ideas established in the prequel trilogy of him cheating death.
