2house2fly posted:The plan was to show that anyone can be a superhero. Not everything is setting up an insane epic plot twist, some things just exist to exist on their own No one is just some rando force user. No one's mentioning that Sheev's kid was like "No. gently caress you space dad! All you do is pay attention to your sith gimp. I'm not taking up the family business. I'm going off to nowheresville."

Petition to retitle the subtitle on this thread: The Star Wars Spoiler thread: Sheev FUCKS PJOmega posted:Does hyperspace/drive/lane skipping exist elsewhere or was it created whole cloth for this movie/ the inevitable motion simulator attraction? Disney already announced that environs from TROS would be in Star Tours, btw. Dr. Fishopolis posted:The first 20 minutes don't fit into the act structure in any way shape or form. It's like they took every beat that should have been in episode 2 and tossed them into a "previously on" segment. FilthyImp fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Dec 21, 2019 |

Uncle Wemus posted:How is it that the entire disney empire couldn't out-merchandise george lucas Now it's pretty much "I can get a lightsaber!?" MJeff posted:Here's a question. I think you mash up 50/50 with TLJ to get the sweet spot. Skip this if you don't want pointless fanfic: the Rebels are racing against the First Order to find an artifact that could turn the tide. Snoke has trouble reining in Kylo, who is fixated on finding Rey and turning her or defeating her. Rey trains with Luke, Luke burns the temple down to show her that they can't just retread old failures, Rey leaves and Yoda shows up for the bro moment. Holdo/Poe have an ideological fight, Holdo does the lightspeed whammy, and gives them time to escape to a bunker-world. The Salt Planet poo poo happens and Leia steps in with Jedi powers but is incapacitated, prompting Luke to feel the Force for the first time in years. Luke and Kylo fight. The base is destroyed as the rebels make it out with Rey's help. Snoke berates Ren for seemingly destroying the artifact. He tries to force-magic him to death, discovers Ren is more powerful and Snoke is defeated. Leia recovers and shares a moment with Rey, where she reveals she was trained by Luke and will now help finish Rey's training. In my head, it ends where 9 starts: with Kylo getting the Sith Wayfinder, discovering Not-Korriban holding a Sith Weapon of Unlimited Power and realizing at the end it referred to Palpatine as Sheev's charred and emaciated figure descends on him before the credits roll.

Everyone posted:Because I like pointless fanfic, what's the 50/50 mashup of TRoS (in which Johnson and Abrams co-direct/write without killing each other)? Bonus points if Werner Herzog is somehow involved. A Johnson/Abrams treatment for Ep9 would be amazing. With Herzog as the enigmatic First Force User..

I fully believe Snoke would have been a Force Clone or Force Possession of Palps had he not died. Too easy to say "Snoke was an Imperial Loyalist that found secrets hidden away from the Emperor. They twisted his mind and body" etc etc.

Read a fun thinkpiece last night about how Luke's fuckup and critique of the Jedi being arrogant in TLJ ends up being the most salient thing in the whole NuTrilogy.

Those things are great because they have to make up poo poo for "looked pretty". Like Mace Windu went on a Special trial that gifted him the rare Purple Electrum that made his blade purple. Or that Dooku used a curved handle because he was a sophisticated duelist who required greater control.

One realizes that if Abrams had just, like, sketched a loving plot outline after TFA with some points here and there, instead of going 'ooooh vague mystery box what can it be tune in 4 years later and find out' we would have been spared a lot of poo poo.

Blood Boils posted:It's not just Rise that was hacked up by Disney executive committee, all the new films have been. He literally just handed that off without even a halfassed plan so the next guy went "poo poo. Ok lets make some stories" and instead of Luke self-exiling because of fear or shame at letting his students fall, it's "saw a force vision and tried to murk a kid" or "no one gives a poo poo about the rebellion except for the profiteers". (No knock against TLJ. I liked that poo poo)

I kind of wish TFA was framed more like Leia and the rebels being painted as paranoid and written off by the New Republic. Like "ok, sure War Hero, we're going to be threatened by *another* empire. Riiiight" with Rey getting caught up in it and the implication was that she was young and naïve. Then towards the end they activate Planet Deathstar and everyone loses their poo poo. The First Order is too established, is what I'm sayin.

Halloween Jack posted:If you really cared about the Outer Rim you'd join the Jedi and try to Force push them to the left. It's either Emperor Slugface takes some sand people from Backwateron and makes them incompetent child soldiers or the Rebs bring a bunch of chairforce jockeys and spice traders in under the guise of "community management" and gently caress up my sector because Mons Mothmom can't lead her way out of a paper bag. I'm busting my rear end and I get poo poo either way. And YOU KNOW they're all making a mint off of the damned weapons sales!!!

That poo poo about shoehorning the Skywalker name in is so bad they should have just specc'ed Rey with Force Airstep so she could literally be a sky walker at the end.
