10 Sci-Fi Movies That Pissed Audiences Off In The Final Scene
10. Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker
If you watched Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in a cinema on opening weekend, you could probably feel the pregnant tension in the audience at the very end of the movie.
The final scene sees Rey (Daisy Ridley) visit Luke Skywalker's (Mark Hamill) abandoned home on Tatooine to bury both his and Leia's (Carrie Fisher) lightsabers.
At that moment, Rey is approached by an elderly passerby who asks her name. Rey considers which surname to give, and while looking to her side, she sees the Force ghosts of Luke and Leia proudly watching her.
And so, Rey replies to the villager, "Rey Skywalker." The End.
We all knew it was coming, but that didn't make it sting any less. Rey taking up the Skywalker name simply didn't feel sufficiently earned throughout the movie, given that she spent mere days training with Luke and barely knew Leia at all.
You can't blame Rey for ridding herself of the Palpatine name, but coming at the end of a rushed, messy conclusion to the Skywalker Saga, this hit a total bum note and roused only negative emotions from most fans.
