Idea: 'The Sequel Trilogy - complete redux' (an idea and discussion thread)
Time

Rey is the new chosen one, explains her powers

Why do they need to be explained?

Anakin was first chosen one -> Luke -> Rey : all chosen ones have issues with the dark side.

So the first Chosen One just happens to give birth to the second even though it’s not hereditary in the slightest given Rey is unrelated?

TROS: No Palpatine, replace him with Snoke (the real one)

Ah yes, replace the main villain of the Saga with his bargain bin knockoff.

TROS : The Star Destroyers are “Force Illusions” - real but not real if you catch my drift.

Why include them at all then?

Unusual <strong>Sequel Trilogy</strong> Radical Redux Ideas Thread

Maybe the mining of the planet could be used to imply that the planet’s the source of all the Star Destroyers also.

So is that why you’re leaving the hollowed out parts? 'Cause personally I would just make it an unaltered Ilum, no mass mining involved.

Perhaps the scene where the Hosnian system is destroyed could be recontectualized to be an attack from a First Order Dreadnaught.

I’ve been saying this literally since before Dreadnoughts were even a thing. The fact that they are makes it all the more approachable. The fact is the destruction of the Senate is important. What isn’t is the destruction of an entire star system.

Jesus fucking christ I hate my life I hate the world I just hate everything. Existence is miserable.

There’s just no way I can think of to spin my current situation as being in anyway positive besides “it could be worse” which obviously it always can be, but that doesn’t mean I’m in a good place. I truly feel like I’m at the lowest point I’ve ever been. This past year has taken from me all but house and home (and family). I can’t think of a single thing I’ve gained from it. I’ve only lost things.

Especially when you’ve got the whitest bread Shawn Mendes, Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, or Taylor Swift topping charts

Just because it isn’t hip hop doesn’t mean I like it. I’m just saying pop in general kinda sucks now. It’s not without the occasional hit but a lot of it is just crap.

Hip hop as a whole isn’t even inherently bad. I’m sure there’s stuff within that vast umbrella that you could probably like.

Here’s the rap I do like. As you can tell, it’s not very hip hoppy. I can’t stand those drum metronomes and that raspy, dry delivery.

I FUCKING HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE HAVE TO WHINGE ABOUT MODERN POP MUSIC AND SAY MUSIC WAS BETTER IN THE OLD DAYS

But it did get worse. In the 80s mainstream music was this cool rock and synthwave stuff. Now mainstream music is hip hop, and I hate hip hop. Of course if you look past the mainstream there isn’t any significant difference, but pop music was genuinely much better before I was born.

Oh and easy on the caps lock, buddy.

Sequel Trilogy Rescoring Ideas Thread
Time

It’s probably a case similar to the prospective First Order theme, a discarded leitmotif idea used once or twice in the films as a remnant.

Anyone know where this is from? 'Cause I love it. I guess you could argue it’s derivative of the Imperial March, but imo it does a much better job than Giacchino’s bargain bin version that didn’t need to exist, since ANH already had a perfectly good Imperial theme.

As you can tell, I disagree with ThisIsCreation’s belief that Giacchino should’ve scored the ST. Giacchino is extremely talented and did some amazing work on Rogue One aside from that major mistep, but he’s no Williams, and even bad Williams is still Williams. Besides, it’s only towards the last film he really started to run out of steam, and even then, the titular theme of Rise of Skywalker is a new and memorable theme. TLJ and TFA both have several memorable new themes, namely Rey’s Theme, Kylo’s Theme, March of the Resistance, Canto Bight, Fun with Finn and Rose, The Spark, and probably others.

Update: They responded to me in DMs. We just exchanged a little small talk, nothing more, but they seem to still care. They’re the total opposite of a heartless person so I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss them like you guys are you doing, but I get where you’re coming from not knowing all the details. It was really a political thing.
