Anakin Starkiller

Those are like the most popular opinions though.

My girlfriend is super approachable so apparently that’s made her a magnet for people with suicidal thoughts and she’s stuck having to talk them out of it time and time again (different people, mind you). How can she break out of this cycle? She tries to redirect them to suicide hotlines but it doesn’t work.

All of them, tbh. Conventionally attractive is unattractive to me.

My brother just told me that he found The Mandalorian boring. Granted, he’s not a Star Wars fan.

Any thoughts?

It’s a little much.

The idea in itself or the execution?

The color of Tatooine. A little too yellow and blue for Tatooine.

They weren’t made by committee, but they were made by someone who doesn’t care much for an auteur’s vision, and just likes dangling keys in front of the audience.

Abrams has never been a man with a vision. TFA plays out like a madlibs prompt for a story more than a story in itself, and TRoS plays out like a really bad attempt to fill in those blanks by someone who very clearly had no intention of ever doing so.

Any thoughts?

It’s a little much.

It’s way too late in the timeline for Darth Bane.

Let’s get a full-blown evil Sith - no redemptions!

As much as I’d hate a Yoda origin story, I’d be okay with a Palpatine origin story. Obviously this is too early in the timeline for him to be around, but I’ve always liked the idea that he was older than he let on. An age some consider to be unnatural.

But who’m I kidding, it’s obviously be based around new characters with a healthy (or perhaps unhealthy) dose of “remember this?” thrown in.

Remember how the first two seasons of Star Wars Rebels hinted strongly at Ezra falling to the dark side?

No, I really don’t. He seemed to be continuing down the standard Light Side path, complete with a normal amount of temptation.

I like every trilogy, but I acknowledge their flaws. When I watch Star Wars, I watch I-IX in numerical order, no spinoffs, no skipping episodes, no fanedits.

I agree wholeheartedly. The Ahsoka circlejerk is so tired and Ezra is genuinely the worst Star Wars character. In fact, I’d take it a step further and say that I would’ve enjoyed Rebels more if Jar Jar was the lead instead of Ezra. Then again, maybe he’d be distracting, but at least he has an actual personality.

It hasn’t always been the most popular era. From 1999 until the buyout, I’d argue the PT era was more popular. It’s just for some reason the new regime is obsessed with the OT. Where are all my PT and ST spinoffs? The most we’re getting only now is one High Republic show, still drowned out by the myriad of OT-adjacent material.

And they aren’t gonna write the Sequels out of existence any more than the Prequels.

What if instead of Hux being the traitor, Finn and Poe escape by convincing the stormtroopers who caught join them? Then this rebellious company joins them on the trip to Kef Bir. Probably not doable but who knows. Would at a lot more weight to their space horse charge at the end.

Maz: Was.

“You don’t just have power. You have his power. Embrace your heritage, Rey…Bibble.”

Would it be possible to end TRoS on a shot mirroring TPM’s opening shot?

Since it’s just one scene you can totally link it directly in the thread. We do it all the time.

I think Lord & Miller’s take would’ve been far better. A nice silly adventure instead of a generic one.

I disagree. He’s still irritable, manipulative, and overconfident. He just has more to do in The Last Jedi, but he’s very much depicted the same way.

It’s not his personality that’s different so much as the way he’s presented. He goes from dark and mysterious, to just weird old rich guy. Yes, he behaves consistently, but the way the films treat him is very different.

I guess it just bugs me that as great as they are, the Snoke scenes in TFA really just don’t align with the way he’s depicted in TLJ at all.

Has anybody thought of replacing Supreme Leader Snoke in TFA with Palpatine? The Snoke we meet in TFA doesn’t really align with the one in TLJ, but it matches Palpatine perfectly. The surprise of his reveal on Exegol could be preserved by obscure his face even more than it already is (which is a lot) and his different voice is accounted for with the “I have been every voice you have ever heard inside your head” line. The only issue is its placement, as at this point Palpatine has not yet been discovered. What reason would they have for talking to him?

Sounds promising.

I feel like some of you might get mileage out of this idea. Basically, according to this interpretation, it wasn’t actually Palpatine we saw in RoS, but rather the spirit of the Sith manifesting in the form of Palpatine.

How the anthropomorphic citrus acquired Anakin’s lightsaber was never revealed in TLJ or TROS, was it? Called that one.

Seemed obvious to me.

Give Snoke a Maul-styled makeup and say that he is Maul after decades of planning his revenge against the Jedi (completely ignoring his death in Rebels)

Finally we can realize George’s true vision for the Sequels.
