There is little doubt that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker had several awesome cameos that would please any fan. However, the film also saved the best for last.
SPOILERS AHEAD, PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
In The Rise of Skywalker, Rey ultimately faced off against the invigorated Emperor Palpatine who had just sucked away most of her and Ben Solo's lifeforce. As the villain attacked the Resistance fleet with Force lightning, Rey found strength as the voices of multiple Jedi encouraged her to fight. When Palpatine finally turned the Force lightning on Rey, she deflected it back at him with two lightsabers right after confirming that she is "all the Jedi."
It was an awesome moment that was made even more powerful by the voices of the Jedi. In case you were wondering who was speaking to Rey, they were the following:
Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker
Samuel L. Jackson as Mace Windu
Ewan McGregor and Alec Guinness as Obi-Wan Kenobi
Frank Oz as Yoda
Liam Neeson as Qui-Gon Jinn
Ashley Eckstein as Ahsoka Tano
Freddie Prinze Jr. as Kanan Jarrus
Olivia d'Abo as Luminara Unduli
Jennifer Hale as Aayla Secura
Angelique Perrin as Adi Gallia
This confirms that director J.J. Abrams wasn't lying about Ahsoka's cameo in The Rise of Skywalker. It was previously reported that the filmmaker teased on Ahsoka's return in Episode IX. Although it wasn't really what we were hoping for, we still loved that scene.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is still screening in theaters worldwide.
