2. Rey’s long-anticipated history was revealed. It dismayed a lot of the viewers as it was not at all what they had expected. Her true parents descended from Emperor Palpatine.
3. Accusing Darth Vader of killing Anakin Skywalker: When Obi-Wan confronts Darth Vader for killing Anakin, he refuses and tells him that he is his father. This is one of the most iconic moments in cinematic history. Later on, with further explanation, it’s just one half of the story.
4. Boba Fett becoming a threat: His role in the movie franchise was drastically minimized as compared to the books and comics. Initially, his character showed a lot of potential, but Fett’s role wasn’t highlighted enough.

6. Rey’s unexpected offering: In the film’s ending, Rey offers Luke his old weapon back. Everybody thought he’ll take it in a manner of hope, but when he tossed it away in the sequel, it was a significant twist.
