Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is now in theaters, bringing the 40-year story of the Skywalker saga to a close. But it isn’t the only major saga to end this year. Marvel Studios also concluded its Infinity Saga with Avengers: Endgame in May. Fans of both franchises can’t help but notice some similarities between how the two went out (SPOILERS follow).

As we’ve detailed, most of the similarities come in the film’s final act. In both cases, the heroes enter their final showdown with the big bad of the entire saga (Thanos, the Emperor) and their amassed force. In Avengers: Endgame, there’s the “on your left” moment when Doctor Strange arrives with the assembled heroes. In The Rise of Skywalker, there’s the moment Lando Calrissian arrives with the new Resistance fleet. Then there’s the “I am Iron Man/all the Jedi” parallel, and the sacrificial deaths.
Fans have taken notice of these parallels and are expressing their feeling about them online. Keep reading to see some of those reactions.
What do you think of these parallels? Let us know in the comments. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is now playing in theaters.

Thereโs a scene in the new Star Wars where the villain says โI am _____โ and then Rey answers with โAnd I…am _______โ

In the theater I reached to my friend and said โIron Manโ
But this got me thinking; is there a chance TROS was reshot to be more like Endgame; it felt like it
It’s the same movie
New Star Wars is the same movie as Endgame

I’m sorry you can’t… you can’t call starwars bad if you thought avengers endgame was genuinely amazing
