Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker/IMDB Corrections

==Continuity==
# The button igniting Luke's (formerly Anakin's) blue lightsaber is shown to be near the top of the hilt. In both the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy the button was in a different place, closer to the mid part of the hilt. It may have been moved in the interim for some reason.
==Incorrectly regarded as goofs==
# Finn claims the second Battle of Endor was where the "last war ended". In actuality, in the canon expanded universe, the war went on for another year, culminating with the Battle of Jakku and the subsequent Imperial surrender. As Disney spearheaded their own expanded universe and undid all that had come before, it's odd they'd make this mistake. The Battle of Endor was effectively where the Empire was defeated by the Rebel Alliance, and the Emperor and Vader were both killed, thus closing the original trilogy. Further minor skirmishes with the remnants of the Empire in expanded universe spin-off materials don't count.
# When the Falcon Lightspeed skips, it would have remained safe after the first jump. TIE fighters lack a hyperdrive and therefore cannot enter Hyperspace. However it has been clarified before this movie that First Order TIE Fighters, unlike Imperial ones, do have a hyperdrive. The TIE Fighters still wouldn't have been able to chase them, as the hyperspace tracking technology seen in The Last Jedi only worked from a capital ship such as Snoke's.
# Throughout the final battle, the armada of Star Destroyers float above Exegol without any obvious downward thrust. Resistance ships are able to fly beneath them, uninterrupted by any force that is keeping them in the air, despite the planet obviously having a gravitational pull similar to that of Earth, judging by the manner in which Rey and Palpatine walk on its surface. It is shown near the beginning of the film that Palpatine is in fact using the force to elevate and hold them in place.

# Poe miraculously spots Jannah and Finn clinging to the side of the enormous command ship, and starts to go rescue them, but they would not have fit in his plane even if he had gotten there. They would have jumped on his wing just like they jumped onto the Millennium Falcon. He could given them a ride to the surface or to another ship with room for passengers.
# The deceased Han Solo appears alive to his son, Ben/Klyo Ren even though Han is not a Jedi (to appear as a force ghost or anything after death). It's mentioned it's a vision done from Ren's memory, think to what he would've done, if he were to have the same conversation again.
# Darth Sidious states he would transfer his soul into his granddaughter Rey's body if she killed him. Minutes later Rey kills Darth Sidious, but Darth Sidious is inexplicably not shown possessing Rey's body. This is because he was killed by his own lightning which bounced back on him. The loophole is that Rey was defending herself, not attacking him, so he technically killed himself by accident.
==Revealing mistakes==
===Spoilers===
# At the end a Star Destroyer is destroyed in Bespin, the size scale of that Star Destroyer is way off. The Star Destroyer is more gigantic than it should be. This could be a one off super enlarged version.
# Leia is laid under a white sheet whilst people mourn her passing, clearly fully clothed, but when her body is taken by the force the sheet collapses flat, without showing the clothes underneath. The clothes were likely also taken by the force.
==Character error==
# On Kef Bir, the Millennium Falcon is landed by sideways ramming it into a hill, leaving a trail of destruction, due to the landing gear being defective. The Falcon however always had vertical take-off and landing capabilities, so this harsh landing is unnecessary. It may have been done this way to ensure enough room for the Falcon to actually land.
===Spoilers===
# Rey uses a two-handed lightsaber fighting style throughout the trilogy, but the lightsaber she makes for herself in the end has a short grip, allowing only a one-handed fighting style. She probably found the dual handed grip too tiring to maintain.
