Possibilities for super emotional storytelling left by TLJ's ending:

- Finn must find a way to friendzone Rose while they both process the PTSD from murdering all their loving friends
- REYLO

Don't forget the tragedy of Maz Kanata blasting her own workers.

A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

If Rian wanted rich emotional storytelling he should have put it in his movie.

Or from the Treverrow script Rey/Poe. You know, two characters who barely interacted in the first two movies.

i may not approve, but Maz Kanata is an S-tier capitalist. shooting her labour force back into line while skype calling her goons to go smash up a rival business. :golfclap:

It's even better, the single time they interact in either movie at the end of TLJ was added in reshoots at Trevorrow's request.

Dude really wanted Poe to gently caress Rey for some reason

I'm more or less serious. JJ's first draft of TFA began with Luke's severed hand, still clutching the lightsaber drifting through space for no reason, and I think that's how The Glove of Darth Vader opens as well, only with, as you might expect, the Glove of Darth Vader rather than Luke's Hand.


The Sequel Trilogy is just a big budget and even sloppier adaptation of the Jedi Prince young readers book series.

The Jedi Prince books at least tried to justify Vader’s glove ending up where it did. I had those things as a kid and remember waaaay to much of them.

Even if you assume Maz Kanata fell on hard times which is why shes slumming it in ROS, you basically have to accept shell get a new bar and closer government ties to gently caress up future workers

Kylo begging darth vader's helmet for strength to be evil never sat right with me. Evil is short sighted. Being evil is basically the easiest thing ever you just do whatever you would be inclined to do and never think about anyone else's well-being.

Being good is really fuckin hard. People don't have this weird natural inclination toward good like Kylo was claiming he had instead good is something you learn as you come to a greater understanding that other human beings lives have value. You should never need to pray to a helmet to not feel like doing good anymore if you are dumb and shortsighted enough to even consider that a worthwhile activity you were probably never mature enough to actually be a good person to begin with!

Evil is weird. The Spartans instituted brutal slavery so they didn't have to work in the fields, then dedicated their lives to rigorous training and austere living anyway. CEOs and politicians have the power and money to go anywhere and do anything, and use it to spend their time in various office jobs finding ways to make people's lives worse for money that they will never spend.

Jenny Nicholson talked in one of her videos about some EU Dark Jedi who was peer pressured into killing his girlfriend so he could get more power that he wouldn't enjoy because his girlfriend was dead.

Sure but they gain something from it. Kylo is just begging to be evil, like he lives in a world where if you are good good stuff happens to you and he wants some reason to do bad things because "easy rewards" or "has a thirst for horrible ideology" just arent things that he can process

You should reread Dark Empire. The sequel trilogy ranges from mixed to really bad, but even TROS at its worst has nothing on DE's completely nonsense story

I might dislike the franchise now but star wars really did give us a lot of iconic arch sorcerer croaking and evil blue lightning. James earl jones does a pretty good evil warlord shtick in it too but as a fan of evil sorcerers I’m partial to his role in Conan.

I really like the story of his noble knight born from nothing and reduced to but a suit of walking armor finding his humanity at the end even as the black magics destroy him.

Not as big a fan about the later tale of a barkeep who murders employees who talk back to them.

While I like it, your idea is also unfairly weighted towards "yeah, thatd be a good change" because almost any idea, down to palpatine doing a little soft shoe number called "Rey, baby, Ill make you a Star (Wars)", would have been an improvement.
