Just want to say I'm excited for this movie regardless of how accurate SuperShadows leak happens to be.

It's loving Star Wars, get hype.

With that said...


Very smart of Disney to release the Lucas Special Edition of Rise of Skywalker.

I feel like having kylo run the empire for a year kinda robs him of what thin goodboy momentum he had remaining, which was really propped up by the films taking place over two days. But sure, whatever, guess he's goodboy now

He killed Han but he feels bad about it now so it's all good guys.

Surnames are a tricky thing in the SW universe.

Obi-Wan thought it'd be rad as hell to hide Darth Vader's son under the name "Luke Skywalker" but Darth Vader's daughter under her adopted name of Organa.

Luke’s last name is officially Lars, not Skywalker.

He starts calling himself Skywalker after he finds out he’s adopted, because “you’re not my real dad!”

I can't get over the fact that they only went with blue good guy lightsabers in the ST (excluding the flashback). Green lightsaber got screwed over.

It's because Ben Solo is a Jedi Guardian not a Jedi Consular. You'd have known this if you'd spent any time playing KOTOR! :colbert:

She waves away whatever huge battle she's in as a "union dispute" but given her character/etc. it seemed obvious her and a bunch of her criminal/smuggler/etc. employees were in a massive shootout with some other criminals/smugglers/whatever. I mean I doubt there's a republic recognized union of smugglers negotiating on behalf of smugglers everywhere.

There's a bounty hunters union.

It’s in Episode 2 and 3.

Shmii marries Cliegg Lars, whose son is Owen Lars. Later, Owen Lars and his wife Beru Lars adopt Luke to raise as their own. They know about the Jedi purges, so obviously they name the kid Luke Lars.

At some point before Episode 4, Luke finds out he’s adopted. So the Larses admit that Luke’s dad was a pilot named Anakin Skywalker, but cover up the fact that Anakin was a Jedi because being a Jedi is extremely dangerous.

(The Larses probably didn’t know Anakin became Darth Vader, given that Obiwan literally took that secret to his grave.)

It's just the kind of ending this trilogy deserves.


God that still sounds like something from a rejected fanfic. Like, I know lorewise that Palpatine's flagship had a mini death star beam on it, but that was it and it was 1/3 of the power not full on planet busting.

Those first order guys must feel pretty stupid building their one super Death Star when they could’ve built a thousand separate Death Stars instead

They’re going to follow Lucas’s idea for the sequels and go into the microscopic world, where it will turn out the midichlorians are Death Stars

I’m confused by that. Rey blows up the transport he's on with force lightning, but also she recovers his effects when she's on a first order ship later?

Not that far along in the reading just yet, but inconsistencies have been common for this trilogy. So far I still believe all of this, the trailers actually back up quite a bit of it too even.

Was just about to post that a few paragraphs later, Chewbacca is still alive. So the writing in this document is super weird and doesn't account for its own inconsistencies. So we know that some of it can't be trusted.

No his death was a sort of fake out where they only THOUGHT he was dead. At least that's how I read it. I don't know what the gently caress is going on in that movie.

Yeah, I doubt the storyboard is 100% legit. Probably 80-85% right, but I do specifically remember a prior incarnation pointing out that Chewy was on another ship and didn’t die.

Still can’t get over the idea that the Resistance's allies really did hear the distress call in TLJ, and they had plenty of ships on hand to help, and they wanted to assist, but they couldn’t get their return call through so they gave up
