Harime Nui posted:It seemed really weird to me that a planet would be called "bight," even if its only notable feature was a spaceport (so there'd be some logic in that a bight is almost synonymous with a safe harbor). Luckily Wookiepedia clears this up in the very first line of its article: are you suggesting that "Cantonica" too closely resembles "catatonia" ???

The remaining rebels will crash land the falcon outside canto bite, before making their way into the black market underworld in search of some spare parts. Unable to obtain them they will end up sponsoring a local boy to spacehorse race for their freedom. Against all the odds he will fall at the first hurdle and become crippled. Rey will then fix the spaceship anyway and lightsabre some badies and then a parade.

Early leak/sneak stuff suggests endor is in this one, right? So I'm going to take a wild guess they lure kyle into a trap there, or there is some macguffin piece of the death star that crashed there that they need to get, or etc.

I think that people genuinely just want to see the same thing they've seen a million times before. More people than not would be happy if they just remade the OT forever.

Question Friend posted:Endor being in the last one is a joke I would say to disparage the sequel trilogy Pretty sure this is one of those "love letter to the fans" (  ) deals which Abrams has said "is going to tie all three trilogies together" ( ) which is why my suggestion that Kylo will go to Naboo, meet elderly Jar-Jar and bring Padme back to life is only half in jest.There is a better than zero chance that they'll be going to Endor because they need to salvage Death Star wreckage to build their own weapon to use against the First Order or something.One thing I'm reasonably confident about (well, to be honest, there's only one thing I'm reasonably confident about as regards Episode IX but everyone already knows what that is and they're sick of hearing it  ) is that it will retcon the status of Rey's parents. I don't know if one of them will be Luke but I wouldn't be surprised; Keri Russell will probably be Rey's mother who left Luke after Rey was conceived and then left her on Jakku to hide her from Snoke.Ewan McGregor will show up as Force ghost Obi-Wan to say, "To protect you

Wheat Loaf posted:Pretty sure this is one of those "love letter to the fans" ( Yeah on the one hand it's brainlet to allow your new writer director to do anything just to retcon it later but on the other hand Johnson was obviously retconning/not doing a "yes and" if this was improv, so turnabout is fair play The original plan was obviously to put as much fanservice as possible in the first one to get it out of the way and let fans relax into the new movies knowing that this is "real Star Wars you remember not like the prequels." But now because of the reaction to TLJ they have to do extra fanservice and predictability as damage control so it's gonna suck even bigger poo poo than it would otherwise

It they "retcon" reys parentage, star wars will be beyond saving. That was one of the clear objectively great parts that was reinforcing anyone can be special, not just royalty. Nerds not having object permanence and not being able to remember Rey said she came from nothing first isn't a reason to keep touching on it.

bushisms.txt posted:It they "retcon" reys parentage, star wars will be beyond saving. That was one of the clear objectively great parts that was reinforcing anyone can be special, not just royalty. It's an odd thing. Yes, Abrams set this up in the full knowledge that he wouldn't be the one paying it off (honestly, Abrams was an executive producer on TLJ - he could have stepped in if he was that concerned and he's still more or less the golden boy so I feel as though Kennedy or Iger or whoever probably would have listened to him), but fair enough if the pay-off it got wasn't good enough for you. I thought it was fine but more people disliked it and I understand why. At the same time, people getting so invested in the idea that Rey was Luke's kid or Obi-Wan's grandchild or something and then getting very annoyed that she was not - people going on about how Rey not being a Skywalker or a Kenobi or whoever was one of the things they didn't like - I have to wonder if it's some especially weird reaction to one of the basic premises of the prequel trilogy that Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One, was a "nobody". There's getting annoyed that TLJ didn't pay off TFA to your satisfaction and there's getting annoyed that Rey specifically isn't part of some Force dynasty. I think they're two different things.

How old is Kylo supposed to be? Is there any chance they could make it so he knocked up keri russel as a teenager and he's rey's father? That would be the best possible twist to come out of this I think

I think he's meant to be around Adam Driver's age, maybe slightly younger. Late 20s, early 30s. I haven't bothered with any of the extraneous stuff like the novels which probably sets it out, though I know he's supposed to have started training with Luke in his early 20s. Unfortunately TFA wasn't terribly clear on how long ago Luke vanished but I'd guess he's been missing maybe 5-10 years. I think Rey is meant to be 18 in TFA/TLJ.

I thought it was fine but more people disliked it and I understand why. I think people were looking forward to being surprised by a big twist, and then it turned out the twist was there was no twist. Probably they would have been fine with any explanation why she's important and has super-force, other than "just cause ". They may focus on the parentage because f they had said she was Luke's nephew's cousin then that would explain it all.Would have been equally uninteresting though, if it was just a line thrown in there for no real reason; "Yeah I looked up your parents. Turns out it's R2 and 3PO."

TLJ had plenty of twists; Snoke getting lopped in half, the vice-admiral being useful, the code breaker switching sides and all the rebel plans not set out by Luke or Leia failing miserably. Rey’s parentage didn’t even come into it because I’m a Star Wars fan but not a Raging Internet Star Wars Fan. Snoke’s death on the other hand. It just made the whole character seem a joke, everything set up from the first movie just brushed aside with no explanation was less than great.

Why is yoda so powerful, who is he related to? Oh it doesn't matter? Just lovely fan logic that needs some elaborate explanation for why a woman is strong. Snoke is literally an elaborate fridging, his character matters little except to further kylo.
