Uncovering the Hidden Depths of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

Get ready for a truly special Star Wars Day treat! In this in-depth exploration, we go beyond the surface-level narrative of The Rise of Skywalker (Episode IX) to uncover the rich, hidden spiritual secrets and esoteric wisdom intricately woven into the very fabric of the story.

While the sequel trilogy, and arguably The Rise of Skywalker in particular, has faced criticism regarding its overall plot cohesion, it is undeniably a treasure trove of profound spiritual symbolism, ancient philosophical concepts, and perennial wisdom that echoes throughout the Star Wars saga. This video essay invites you to join us on an intellectual and spiritual journey, viewing the final installment of the Skywalker saga through an enlightened, esoteric lens.The Lore and Language of the Jedi

Our exploration begins with the very essence of the galaxy’s spiritual warriors: the Jedi. We will meticulously explore the etymological meaning behind the name “Jedi” itself and its fascinating connection to the historical and mythological figure of Djedi. This ancient Egyptian magician, known from the Westcar Papyrus, was famed for his wisdom and alleged power to reattach severed heads and control animals—a figure whose name carries connotations of profound magical knowledge and spiritual power, mirroring the mystique surrounding the Jedi Order.The Force: A Cosmic Tao

Next, we delve into the core metaphysical concept that defines the Star Wars universe: the Force. Far more than just a power source for telekinesis, we examine the Force as a reflection of the ancient Chinese philosophical concept of Tao (or Dao). Taoism emphasizes living in harmony with the Tao, the fundamental principle, the natural order of the universe, which is both the source and the pattern of everything that exists. The Force, described as “an energy field created by all living things,” that “surrounds us and penetrates us,” and “binds the galaxy together,” is a direct echo of the all-encompassing, dualistic, yet unifying nature of the Tao. We’ll discuss how the Light Side and the Dark Side can be seen as manifestations of the Yin and Yang—opposing yet interdependent forces necessary for cosmic balance.The Spiritual Crucible of Rey and Kylo Ren

The heart of The Rise of Skywalker rests on the intertwined, tumultuous spiritual journeys of its two central figures: Rey and Kylo Ren (Ben Solo). Their connection—a powerful Force Dyad—represents a modern mythological exploration of the Anima and Animus, or the integration of spiritual opposites. We will analyze how Rey’s path is one of self-discovery, confronting the shadows of her lineage (Palpatine), and achieving self-acceptance and spiritual mastery, ultimately embodying the Light. Conversely, Kylo Ren’s struggle is a classic heroic arc of redemption, a descent into the darkness that eventually leads to a return to the Light, sacrificing his self to save another and restore balance—a narrative deeply rooted in archetypal tales of the wounded healer and the prodigal son. Their climactic battle, both physical and psychic, is not merely a clash of laser swords, but a cosmic confrontation between the forces of creation and destruction, good and pure evil, culminating in the triumph of compassion and selflessness.

So, grab your imaginary lightsaber, prepare your mind for a deep dive, and join us for an enlightening, mythic exploration of The Rise of Skywalker that transcends its cinematic shortcomings. This is a journey into the spiritual and philosophical bedrock that makes Star Wars endure. May the Force—and true wisdom—be with you.
