Kuetsar Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 I think Palpatine sith ghost would have worked better than Snoke in the first place. As for the prequels, I like Revenge of the Sith a TON more than most people, but the other two are flawed at best.As much as I hate TLJ, I will concede it is a better made movie, even if it has no soul. As I said in a couple of threads now, the prequels and the Disney triology(so far) are the exact opposite of each other. The prequels have a awesome story(that was botched in the execution), and this trilogy have a shitty to non-existent plot and are very well made. I will say that I think Rogue One is better than either TFA or TLJ by a large margin. 3
twiztor Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 why does everyone assume "Rise of Skywalker" refers to Rey? I mean, Kylo Ren IS a Skywalker. Him taking a full on face turn and saving the Resistance makes as much sense as anything else. for the record, i think TFA was acceptable, if a bit too New Hope remakeish, and TLJ was awesome outside that Casino Planet chase scene. Rogue One is by far my favorite of the new flicks tho. 1
Craig H Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Again, I think the Rise of Skywalker is like what we got at the end of the Dark Knight Rises. Just like the Batman is just a symbol, Skywalker can be just a symbol, a beacon of hope in a Galaxy where there can sometimes be none, and a reminder that there is always someone fighting for the greater good. Even if Rey isn't a Skywalker by blood, I think she takes up that mantle anyway to be the beacon of hope and the warning to those who do wrong.
Leonidas Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Spoiler The only reason I still think it's about Rey and her parentage. Could feasibly add a young Carrie Fisher to that picture too.
Dolfan in NYC Posted July 15, 2019 Author Posted July 15, 2019 Some toys are out labeled Sith troops have been spotted out there, so that can definitely be a revealed plot point. Also, Mark Hamill retweeted this awesomeness 3 2
Niners Fan in CT Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 To carry over the discussion from the upcoming movies thread... basically my whole thing is this trilogy has no real beginning/middle/end or at least I can't see how they get there without it being convoluted. I feel J.J. has his work cut out for him. I'm not in the camp that TFA or TLJ are "bad" movies, I just believe it would all work much better if there was someone mapping out exactly where this was going before J.J. started filming TFA. 2
Bustronaut Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 The shareholders would have had fits if they waited a second longer than they did to get a new movie into production after buying the franchise. J.J.'s supposed push for practical effects and using discarded designs from the OT were cost/time saving measures. It's hilarious to me that his first Star Wars movie was so much more mercenary BTS than his Star Trek movies, when he supposedly didn't care at all about THAT franchise, but loves Star Wars.
CSC Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) "Don't do it! I have the high ground, Rey!" Episodes 10-12 follow the path of Darth Reydius. Edited August 24, 2019 by CSC
Ace Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 I do hope she has a bigger role in this one. She's woefully underused.

I mean I'm good with her returning, especially if they pull from that mini-series where she is basically the damn terminator in Storm Trooper form.
Matt D Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) I will say this: It would sum up the disappointment of 2016-on America fairly well if both Dany and Rey end up murdered heels. Edited August 26, 2019 by Matt D
Craig H Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 I think the dark side Rey stuff may just be a vision. 2
Raziel Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Palpatine, a horde of old school Star Destroyers, and Dark Rey... This is gonna be an all-over the map JJ Special. 1

They don't have the time to deal with a newly heel Rey, and she is clearly training for the inevitable showdown with Kylo going off some of the scenes we have seen her in.
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 It's going to be a bunch of cool looking shit that might not go anywhere. It's J.J. alright. But whatever I'll be there opening weekend like I always am lol
J.T. Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Everything I hate about the science of lightsabers is perfectly encapsulated in Dark Rey's Nokia flip-saber. And yeah, it's not a clone. My guess is that Rey will go to Dagobah to train and take the Test of the Dark Tree like Luke did in ESB. Edited August 27, 2019 by J.T.
Casey Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Shows how much I follow Star Wars. I thought that was Keri Russell.
