The Mandalorian Chapter 8 Redemption

IG-11 rescues the Child from the stormtroopers. Gideon announces that he knows the identities of Karga, Dune, and the Mandalorian, and that they face certain death unless they agree by sundown to assist him. IG-11 arrives and breaks the standoff, and the Mandalorian's group fights their way out. Gideon injures the Mandalorian, and the team returns indoors for safety. The Child uses the Force to deflect an attacking stormtrooper's flamethrower back on him. The Mandalorian sends the others through a sewer grate with the Child to find help from the Mandalorian enclave, while IG-11 removes his helmet to administer bacta to his head injury. Joining the others, the Mandalorian finds the covert group of Mandalorians dead or escaped, except for the Armorer. She tasks him to care for the foundling Child like his own, discover its origins, and return it to its kind. The Armorer fashions the Mandalorian his own signet and gives him a jetpack. The group is ferried down an underground lava river, but when they are ambushed by stormtroopers, IG-11 self-destructs to eliminate the enemy. Gideon attacks in a TIE fighter, but the Mandalorian uses the jetpack to bring the craft down. He leaves with the Child, and Karga and Dune stay behind. The last scene shows Gideon cutting himself out of his downed fighter with the Darksaber, a Mandalorian relic

Star Wars the Rise of Skywalker Spoiler Filled Review

One year after the Battle of Crait, Kylo Ren obtains a Sith wayfinder device and travels to the planet Exegol. He discovers a physically impaired Palpatine who reveals he created Snoke as a puppet to control the First Order and lure Kylo to the dark side. Palpatine unveils a secret armada of Star Destroyers and tells Kylo to find and kill Rey, who is continuing her Jedi training under General Leia Organa.

Meanwhile, Finn, Poe, and Chewbacca retrieve information on Kylo's discovery originating from a First Order spy. After learning that Palpatine has returned, Rey discovers notes on a Sith artifact in the Jedi texts Luke Skywalker left behind. Rey, Poe, Finn, Chewbacca, BB-8, and C-3PO leave for Pasaana to seek a contact Luke knew, while R2-D2 stays behind with Leia.

On Pasaana, they encounter Lando Calrissian, who leads them to the artifact's last known location in the desert. Kylo learns where Rey is through their Force bond and travels to Pasaana with the Knights of Ren. Rey and the others discover the remains of a Sith assassin, his ship, and a dagger inscribed with Sith text, which C-3PO's programming forbids him from interpreting. Sensing that Kylo is nearby, Rey goes to confront him.

The First Order captures the Millennium Falcon, Chewbacca, and the dagger; Rey, attempting to save Chewbacca, accidentally destroys a First Order transport with Force lightning. The group escapes on the assassin's ship, presuming Chewbacca was killed in the explosion.

Poe suggests that they head to Kijimi to have the Sith text extracted from C-3PO's memory. Rey senses that Chewbacca is alive, and the group mount a rescue mission. While Kylo searches for Rey, the group infiltrate his Star Destroyer with the help of Zorii Bliss, an old friend of Poe's.

Through the Force, Kylo tells Rey that she is Palpatine's granddaughter; Palpatine had ordered her death as a child, fearing her power. Rey recovers the dagger and has visions of the assassin using it to kill her parents.

General Hux discovers the group and reveals himself to be the spy. He allows them to escape on the Falcon, but is executed for treason. The Star Destroyer destroys Kijimi using a superlaser cannon.

The group follow the coordinates to Kef Bir and a wayfinder device revealing Palpatine's location. A woman named Jannah leads them to the remains of the second Death Star near Endor. Rey uses the dagger to locate the wayfinder and envisions herself as a Sith upon contacting it.

Kylo, having tracked the group to Kef Bir, destroys the Wayfinder and duels Rey. A dying Leia calls to Kylo through the Force, but Rey impales him. Sensing Leia's death, Rey heals Kylo and takes his ship to exile herself to Ahch-To, shaken by her Sith lineage.

Luke's Force spirit appears and encourages Rey to face Palpatine as he faced Darth Vader, giving her Leia's lightsaber and his old X-wing. Rey leaves for Exegol, using the wayfinder on Kylo's ship. On Kef Bir, Kylo converses with a vision of his father and throws away his lightsaber, reclaiming his identity as Ben Solo.

Rey arrives on Exegol and transmits her location to the Resistance. She confronts Palpatine, who demands that she kill him to transfer his spirit into Rey. The Resistance engages in battle with Palpatine's fleet.

Ben overpowers the Knights of Ren and arrives to help Rey. Palpatine rejuvenates himself by absorbing the life essence of Rey and Ben and then attacks the Resistance fleet with Force lightning.

A weakened Rey hears voices of past Jedi lending their strength; Palpatine attacks her with lightning, but Rey deflects it using the two lightsabers, killing him. Rey dies from the attack, but Ben sacrifices himself by using the Force to resurrect her; the two kiss before Ben fades away and becomes one with the Force.

Lando leads the Resistance, now backed by reinforcements, to destroy the remainder of Palpatine's armada.

As the galaxy celebrates, Rey visits the Lars homestead on Tatooine, where she buries the Skywalker lightsabers, having built her own. A local asks her name; as the spirits of Luke and Leia look on, she replies, "Rey Skywalker.

In addition to Luke and Leia, here’s a list of Jedi who are identified in the credits:
Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson)

Karga proposes that the Mandalorian use the Child as bait in order to kill the Client and free the town. In return, Karga will square things with the Guild, which would allow the Mandalorian and the Child to live in peace. Sensing a trap, the Mandalorian recruits Cara Dune and Kuiil the Ugnaught to assist him. Kuill has also rebuilt and reprogrammed IG-11, and the group journeys to Nevarro. Upon arrival they meet Karga and his associates, but en route to the town are attacked by Mynocks. Karga is injured but the Child uses the force to heal his wound. In return, Karga shoots his associates and explains his original plan to kill the Mandalorian and take the Child to the Client. The group formulates a new plan: Karga will pretend that Dune captured the Mandalorian, and all three will enter the town to meet the Client. Meanwhile, Kuiil will return the Child to the ship.

The Mandalorian defeats a pursuing bounty hunter in a dogfight, but with his ship damaged he lands at a nearby repair dock, run by Peli Motto in Mos Eisley on Tatooine. He seeks work in a cantina to pay for the repairs, meeting aspiring bounty hunter Toro Calican, who is tracking elite mercenary/assassin Fennec Shand. As Calican needs to complete the bounty to join the guild, The Mandalorian agrees to help when Calican offers to let him keep the money. They capture Shand in the desert, but she destroys one of their speeder bikes, so The Mandalorian goes to get a dewback they passed for transportation. While Calican watches Shand, she tells him that The Mandalorian betrayed the guild, making the bounty on him and The Child worth more than hers. Shand offers to help Calican capture The Mandalorian if he sets her free, but he shoots her instead. Calican rides the remaining speeder bike to the repair dock, taking Motto and The Child hostage. The Mandalorian arrives, uses a flare to disorient Calican, and kills him. He takes Calican's money to pay Motto for the repairs, thanking her before leaving Tatooine.
