Red Letter Media's prediction of a time travel story to retcon The Last Jedi makes an insane ammount of sense (timestamped): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzeOrA2in1c&t=1145s At this point I fully believe this is happening and it explains all the throwbacks in the trailers.

Xaris posted:i believe i know what hes talking about, iirc i remember around early 00s that lucas was saying he wanted to mirror the original trilogy except for a new generation of KIDS! which is why it's for children instead of adult-oriented for fans Palpek posted:But seriously how dumb is the folding Darth Maul lightsaber that they gave to Rey, loving lol. And they put that part at the end of the trailer like it's the coolest poo poo.

If they put a time travel plot into a Star Wars there truly is no hope for the franchise.

They built a new theme park based on their lovely sequels, are the suits really gonna let them retcon it all? They're probably hard at work as we speak turning it into another Frankenstein of a movie.

Obi and Qui coming out of the conference room surrounded by smoke rhymes with the Stormtroopers coming out of a blast door onto the rebel ship surrounded by smoke. Sneaking into the palace after they return to Naboo rhymes with sneaking onto the Death Star. Obi and Qui sending everyone away so they fight a Sith rhymes with Obi sending everyone away so they fight a Sith. Skywalker exploding a big space station rhymes with Skywalker exploding a big space station. My fantheory is that the prequels are the exact same movies but without any good writing or acting.

TLJ still happened, the rides can stay. The sequel will just go back in time to change it. It won't be a retcon in the sense that it never happened.

I have no hope for this stupid franchise after 8. Usually I let friends and family drag me to Star Wars and Marvel poo poo but I'm putting my loving foot down this year.

They definitely aren't. The prequels lack the beats of the hero's journey and lack the homage/borrowing from Kurosawa's "The Hidden Fortress". The buck rogers stuff is still kinda there though.

Kazak posted:They're going to make Rey a relative of Luke. Search your heart, you know it to be true Was there ever any doubt that she's supposed to be his daughter? I mean from the minute you hear that "oh she's abandoned" with no family ties it just seemed obvious to me. Her getting a little emotionally tied up to Kylo sort of reflects the weird Luke/Leia thing, too. She's abandoned because her dad is an antisocial space wizard who is just so sick of all these star Wars (that he was a key part of continuing) who left her to go milk some walrus people at an abandoned temple planet because life was just too hard out there for a goddamn Jedi knight, of all people.

I'd be ok with her turning to the dark side and effectively ending the resistance immediately and the movie just ending like 'welp' as the force ghost of Yoda looks on, weeping. Also han shows up as a force ghost too but doesn't realize he's visible and is just laughing and shooting the poo poo with another spirit that we can't see so it's just a one sided conversation of him telling a dirty joke or something as Yoda stands next to him crying

Who What Now posted:Obi and Qui coming out of the conference room surrounded by smoke rhymes with the Stormtroopers coming out of a blast door onto the rebel ship surrounded by smoke. These are all just visual references, they occur in very different contexts from one another. That RLM video makes a good point: George Lucas didn't understand why his creation worked. And like others have said, it took a squad of people to keep a new hope from falling prey to the failures of the prequels.

It's this and there's dozens of them and they all cackle impishly while randomly firing quick bursts of force lightning. They're not actually hurting anything but several characters stare on in exasperation as the chaos unfolds... *Loud end title music blares*

Or maybe all of them are freakishly obsessed with zapping C3PO over and over. Not actually hurting him, just constantly buzzing him and it's just him and hundreds of them, alone on a star destroyer drifting aimlessly

Resting Lich Face posted:2 and 3 are better in context with other parts of canon, namely The Clone Wars. They're still not great though, but I still enjoy them because what the hell, I just love me some Star Wars. I think that the average SW fan was so excited to have a new film after 15 years of waiting that we were willing to forgive a lot. It was only upon reflection that we realized Episode 1 didn't really hold up. At all.

It's weird, based on the trailer I'm a little excited to watch the mandalorian and I hope it's good. This could also be the third time in my life I've been disappointed by a new star wars

Have no idea what to expect from Mandalorian honestly. It’s being marketed as like a hard bitten space western but it’s directed by a guy mostly known for farce.

The only movies that have a chance in hell of being any good are the one-offs like Rogue One. The main thread has too much baggage.
