I'll have a look tomorrow and see what other things I've missed from Rise of Skywalker, but assuming that I've now caught everything, then I'll move onto working my way through Season 2 of Star Wars: Resistance. Anyway, the 3 I've added today are the E-851 Blaster Pistol to the Star Wars D/6 Weapons Section, the Resistance B-wing Starfighter to the Star Wars D/6 Starships Section, & Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine (Darth Sidious) (as of Rise of Skywalker) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.

        The Resistance B-Wing is a cool looking upgrade to the one used during the Battle of Endor, but I have to admit that I think it actually looks more primitive and clunky than the original. They've added angles to a design which really didn't need them, but it still manages to look quite interesting. Personally, I'd have changed the body and wings more than the cockpit, maybe making the weapons longer and more like the X-Wing's, making the vessel look a bit more aggressive.

        Well a new editorial summing up my thoughts having now seen and reviewed the final episode of Star Wars Resistance. So . . . that was Resistance!
        Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

        And so, we reach the finale of Resistance with our review of Star Wars Resistance: Season 2 Episode 18: The Escape. And as usual, a spoiler free TLDR; version of my review, actually quoting some of my review this time.
        The finale sums up the series perfectly, so perhaps is the most perfect ending that Resistance could possibly have. A collection of missed opportunities, weak storytelling, and poor characterisation. Not a total disaster, but it could have been so much more.

        So running really late today as I'm still very sick with the flu, but as I promised here's the three main droids from Rise of Skywalker. Today we've added BB-8 (as of Rise of Skywalker), See-Threepio (C-3PO) (as of Rise of Skywalker), & Artoo Detoo (R2-D2) (as of Rise of Skywalker) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.
        The fact I've not covered any of these three for the other movies seems like a dreadful oversight, but one that we've not righted. And tomorrow I'll be finishing off anything I've missed, like Emperor Palpatine which was helpfully pointed out yesterday.

        A day off yesterday as I'd been completely floored by the flu, can't sleep tonight so back to doing something at least. Today I've added Wedge Antilles (Ace Pilot), Kylo Ren / Ben Solo, & Rose Tico (Resistance Engineer) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.

        I think that's pretty much about it, except the 3 droids, R2-D2, C-3PO and BB-8, and I'll have a look through to see what else I've missed. By which time I'll have reviewed the last episode of Resistance, and can begin working my way through the season of that.

        A couple of points I thought of while doing todays three. Firstly, that Wookieepedia lists Ben Solo as being Chandrilian, as he was born on Chandrila? So, his parents are a Corellian Human, and an Alderaanian Human, and he's a Chandrilan Human, just because he was born there. Guess it just works like a nationality here on earth, so the Alderaanians will completely die out in a few years no matter of any efforts to save some of their culture . . . .
        Also, it the background information on Rose, apparently Rian Johnson added her because it was supposed to be Poe and Finn who went to Canto Blight and he wanted someone who'd challenge Finn, so added Rose. . . . But that creates one of the moments I disliked most about The Last Jedi, where Finn, who was kidnapped from his parents and enslaved by the First Order is lectured on the sins of the First Order on Slaves by someone who wasn't. . . . . Seems as if the scene would have been improved simply by swapping the roles around, not by changing one of the characters.
