There are a lot of things wrong with the final part in the Star Wars sequel trilogy; in fact, most fans would consider the whole film to be a problem.
The Star Wars legacy kind of fizzled out with the third part of the trilogy, leaving many scratching their heads.
With so many plot holes, or unsatisfying moments, the final film stands as an overwhelming stumble, but this has been somewhat rectified by the Marvel Comics adaptation which improves many problematic scenes.
The comics first started releasing back in 2020, but was put on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and it’s only just receiving its final issues.

In issue five, we get a lot of significant improvements, such as Kylo Ren and Rey connecting psychically through The Force to further establish their dyad bond.
We also get to see the actual message sent by Lando to rally the galaxy behind the rebel forces.
Perhaps the most dramatic and satisfying change comes in the fight between Rey and ol’ grandaddy Palpatine.
In the film, Rey begins to hear the voice of powerful Jedi from the past, including Luke Skywalker, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Many fans found this underwhelming, despite hearing iconic voices echo through the scene, because we all wanted a visual showing of these legends.
In the comic, this has finally been shown, with Rey standing among the legendary Jedi who came before her, all in Force ghost forms.
Interestingly, it inserts Ahsoka Tano into the group, alluding to the fact that she has died by this point of the story and Rey’s journey, a question that has never been formally answered previously.
Is Ahsoka dead by this point? Is she Force-projecting like Luke did in his battle with Kylo Ren?

Perhaps we’ll get more on this in the future, but it’s a neat addition for those who felt this scene originally lacking.
