10 Times Star Wars Broke The Fourth Wall

10. Rey Takes The Lightsabers Back To Tatooine - The Rise Of Skywalker

While Tatooine would undoubtedly go on to become one of the most pivotal and iconic spots in the Star Wars universe over the course of the Skywalker Saga, that still didn't stop a few folks from scratching their heads by the time it played host to the final scene of The Rise of Skywalker in 2019.

Sure, the sight of Rey deciding to bury both Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa's lightsabers near the former's home on his desert homeland was a sweet enough touch. But fans were still left wondering why in the hell Palpatine's granddaughter decided to choose this spot as the burial ground in the first place?

Luke had spent much of his time on the planet wishing he was elsewhere, opting to spend his time in the Toschi station and dreaming about adventures off planet more often than not. And Leia only ever visited Tatooine on the big screen when rescuing Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt.

So, whatever way you slice it, this beat felt like more of a knowing and emotional salute to those in cinemas who had been strapped in for much of the ride up to this point than anything else.
