Episode IX: The Rise Of Skywalker - Discussion * SPOILER THREAD * — Page 128

Author

Kind of wish these three films were focused on the Knights of Ren being the main villains, after luring/indoctrinating Ben/Kylo from Luke their sole goal is to resurrect Palps and that’s made clear from the get go. But I know that’s not the case and I’m just along for the casual ride at this point. Just bringing back Palps rather that obsessively attempting to bring him back and releasing some more powerful ancient evil is a bit too on the nose but I’m sure it’ll be entertaining enough. The one thing that feels unnecessary is (if leaks are correct) killing off Ben/Kylo. I’d like to see them pull off something different and just have him go his own way, gray, not redeemed, not slain, not completely good but changed, regretful, melancholic.

Touching. I’ll definitely be seeing it in theaters, despite my lack of true excitement I’d normally have for a SW film. However, it does help to see that there’s more character interactions that we lost in TLJ.

But MAN are they really being on the nose for any of those people that dearly wanted Finn and Poe to be a romantic pairing, amusing to say the least. The marketing team knows what they’re doing.

Yeah, that’s got to be out of the running now with Finn + Rose, but they’ll still want to market for it.

I wonder if Reylo will go official?

I have this tinfoil theory that RJ separated Finn & Poe’s stories in TLJ not because “their dialogue was interchangeable”, but because he was considering making them a romantic pair and we would see that develop in their journey. When Disney gave him a big NO, he still wanted some romance, so he separated their characters and added Rose.

I don’t really believe this, Rose and Poe are pretty distinct voices from each other so I understand that story decision, but if it ever turned out there was some truth to it I wouldn’t be surprised.

Hah. My bets on it involving Palpantine specifically for sure. I do like these details.

If anyone is fortunate enough to see a preview screening of TROS before the official theatrical release date of 18th December (for some countries) - and wishes to post about it in this thread… please clearly label that what you are posting is from you having seen a preview screener of the film and also use the Spoiler Code for the actual content itself - thank you.

Some thoughts based on leaks & press coverage so far…

Some of the latest rumors about the finale with Rey & Kylo fighting Palpatine sound like what George Lucas originally had in mind for a duel with Luke & Leia fighting Darth Vader way back in the day. Which showed up in watered-down form in the Splinter Of The Mind’s Eye novel.

Basically the claim is that Palpatine throws Kylo into a pit and then wails on Rey somehow, and she kills him but is dying afterward. Then Ben climbs out of the pit and uses the Force to heal Rey, at the cost of his own life.

Something very similiar happens in the SOTME duel: Luke gets pinned down under a bunch of rocks, and then Leia has to fight Darth Vader on her own using Luke’s lightsaber. Vader seriously wounds her, and she collapses, but then Luke gets free and they fight until somehow Vader stumbles into a pit. Afterward, Luke uses the magic Kaiburr Crystal to heal Leia’s wounds.

Before SW turned out to be a huge hit, Lucas told Alan Dean Foster he saw the duel as being climactic in nature: Luke was to kill Darth Vader outright, and Leia would apparently be left with some severe scars afterward. This was back when the novel was conceived as a back-up plan, in case the first film’s box-office receipts failed to justify doing the sequels Lucas wanted as films. Obviously, once SW actually came out, the ending had to be reworked to make sure it didn’t conflict with making further movies.

Or only the lowest one and iris out on the single? Then make up your own symbology from there.

Spoiler alert: Episode X will have the new Death Star be a sun that our heroes will have to blow up. It’s foreshadowing. 😉

The “For Your Consideration” site by Disney has leaked the usual alternative soundtrack, with track names spoiling details of the plot.

However, they removed it shortly after. However, I have the whole thing in MP3 format. 😃
