Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Redux Ideas thread — Page 103

It would be nice to see more footage of the Sith Troopers… like, actually in battle on Exegol/Steadfast hull. Or even earlier in the film. Or to show other uprisings after Exegol to help communicate the Resistance win across the galaxy.

It would be nice to make the final war not feel so small.

And more Resistance Troopers in uniform, while you’re at it.

Putting the hidden secret Sith cult power base on the very publicly known ancient homeworld of the Sith doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense.

It implies that at no point during their lifetimes did Luke Skywalker or Kylo Ren visit Korriban, which is silly at best.

It’s not like part of the plot involves Luke trying to track Sith assassins down or something…

Wait… 😜

Woooooo, go jonh!

There was a suggestion made in the TROS Opinion Poll to replace Han’s medal with Padme’s wooden necklace that Anakin made. Is this something that any editors are going to do, and if so, how would one achieve that, technically speaking?

They deserve a chance.

I really hope not. Treverrow’s script may have had some cool Resistance stuff and some very pretty concept art, but even ignoring how totally and completely it butchers the concept of balance in the force, it’s got serious issues.

90% of the dialogue is terrible, eight people steal and operate the Eclipse (the second largest Star Destroyer ever built, after the Supremacy), Bossk has an eight second cameo for no reason, Hux is suddenly obsessed with Jedi memorabilia and we’re made to watch him try and fail to use the force (because what this series needed was for Hux to be more of a joke), Palpatine’s master turns out to have been a) not the person we’ve been told repeatedly it is in no uncertain terms and b) somebody whose existence makes Palpatine a terrible sith, because his master is still alive, there are STILL Death Star Destroyers (the script features FO Star Destroyers, most notably the Finalizer, being fitted with Death Star tech and destroying planets), Kylo Ren somehow kills Rey’s parents and was a Knight of Ren when he was fifteen, and that’s just stuff I remember from the script off the top of my head.

Plus, all of Trevorrow’s movies are utterly joyless. How do you make Jurassic Park boring? Like Life Finds a Way, Trevorrow found a way.

Sorry!!!

Jonh, I know you’ve spent a lot of time to get this right, and I really think you have done a great job. But I do have a suggestion, what if after Rey says, “and I am all the Jedi” we see the same shot of the ghosts as before, but then they start to enter Rey, as though they are inhabiting her. You could use a similar effect as when Palps is sucking the life force from Kylo and Rey. But it would work in reverse until the ghosts completely disappear.

I also think this “force sucking” effect would be good to see when Rey heals the cave worm. It would set a precedent for that force ability early on.

Eh, some guy already tried the Jedi entering her, and it just seems silly to me:

I think what jon has now is already perfect. The ghosts are actively using the Force to help Rey repel Palpatine, and it’s not just ‘oh, I have a second saber now, so take that!’

I agree that his script has serious issues, but I mean, to be fair, we’ve only seen the first draft. Had he stayed on board, it certainly would have been revised more.

Also, Trevorrow’s Safety Not Guaranteed is a pretty joyful film. He has potential as a filmmaker.

Supposedly, the only major change in later drafts is that Leia dies earlier and that Snoke but Worse Tor Valum is replaced by a holocron, though obviously that’s hard to confirm without the scripts.

Is it? I’ll have to check it out.

I wonder if we can expand on Palpatine in Episode 9 ? Make it 100 % clear that Palpatine IS A CLONE. NO RITUAL BULLSHIT PALPTINE JUST WANTS REVENGE ON LUKE. Maybe we can have Palpatine reveal to Rey that it was Palpatine that put fake dreams into Luke about Ben going evil ? Reveal that Palpatine not only was pulling the strings on Ben but also EVERYONE ELSE

The canon stuff establishes that Palpatine had already been whispering in Ben’s ear since he was a boy (the movies at the very least imply this, with Leia’s mentions about Snoke corrupting him from the beginning, etc). They weren’t ‘fake dreams’. Luke genuinely did look into Ben’s mind and see how far he’d already fallen, swiftly followed by a very real vision of the future he would (and did) bring. His reaction was what pushed Ben over the edge, but Ben genuinely already was extremely troubled, and removing that factor from him cheapens him as a character, IMO.
