I don’t have any problem with the concept; all of the Knights wear thick enough clothing that you wouldn’t be able to tell any more than you could tell Enfys Nest was a woman. My problem is that Sollony ain’t one of the Knights of Ren we see in the flashback or in any of the supporting material. She comes out of nowhere.

How do we know that? We don’t have the script.

You’re both wrong. Sollony could be any one of the knights we’ve already seen, and we do have a script (though maybe not the exact draft you’re looking for). It was leaked and confirmed as real by Trevorrow himself, remember?

Anyway, I think this article makes a very good point: it’s not the ending that messes everything up, it’s the pointlessly meandering middle. Nothing of consequence happens until the finale, which on its own is actually fairly solid IMO, if uninspired.

The Last Jedi’s comedy is perfectly consistent with The Force Awakens. While people were calling at the film’s excessive humor, I’d already called it out two years prior, yet no one listened. I mean, does the leaf gag really feel that much different than “Who’s in charge now, Phasma”?

There was also something else I wanted to say was perfectly consistent with its predecessor despite what people say, but I forgot what it was.

No, it’s an apt analogy for something manufactured and artificial that feels really good in the moment, but doesn’t hold up in the long term.

You know, you could be right. The grass is always greener on the other side but I’ll wait till I see his Jurassic Word 3 to pass my verdict on him as a film-maker.

That makes two sandwich trilogies. Shoulda just swapped directors. JJ Abrams’s Jurassic World 3.

The Sarlacc pit talks!

With an “oy bruv” accent no less!

FWIW, the male vocalist in Jedi Rocks is a Yuzzum, a species native to Endor, so it would actually make sense for him to show up there.

Jabba the Hutt now farts at random intervals.

Wouldn’t be out of character with the several burps the film already has as well as the infamous TPM scene.

I don’t watch sitcoms. I need some greater plot to be invested in or if standalone it needs to be more than just comedy.

Would have been interesting to see JJ and Rian take up the script for episode 9, with one of them taking the director’s chair.

Wow, that would’ve been amazing. Honestly, can you imagine the two of the collabing the whole trilogy? So that way instead of a Sandwich trilogy, we get a consistent compromise.

The Force Awakens still holds up fine, IMO. Sure, it’s not revolutionary, but it’s a damn good time. The first chunk up until they meet Han and Chewie is absolutely phenomenal.

Now that I think of it, it makes no sense whatsoever. Never mind!

Someone on Reddit suggested replacing the contact on Canto Bight with Lando. I think that would make sense. That said, people might find it frustrating to be robbed of him appearing properly in the film.

Funny you’d say that, as someone whose username is made up of reference to two characters from the Sequel Trilogy.

You ain’t gonna be humming Time the way you do Time. 😉

Time, time, time, look what has become of me

Why did this need a new thread? We already have one.

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

I don’t like Hans Zimmer’s music. He’s fine, and when he goes outside his usual boring style, he can produce some outstanding work, although always suspiciously co-composing. But his normal stuff is slow, with boring instrumentation and no melody. You ain’t gonna be humming Time the way you do the Imperial March.

“Exegol was Coruscant all along!”

If we keep the ground battle atop the Star Destroyer, there’s actually very few shots that would have to be cut or modified.

Would have been sick to have Palpatine hiding in the sith shrine deep below the temple instead of Exogol, right under the noses of the New Republic and The First Order. Imagine the surprise of the destroyers emerging from deep below the surface of the industrial regions of the capital. A true power play.

Judging from this concept art this may have been the case in an early draft.

Okay, now I’m convinced the final sequence should be on Coruscant. My problem with it in DotF was that Rey and Kylo were halfway across the Galaxy from the big battle, but utilizing the Sith shrine beneath the Jedi Temple would be a brilliant way to remedy that. The Sith Citadel could be left as is, but the other 2/3 of the battle would require some FX work. Basically, you’d need to swap out the background. Finn’s mounted assault could be on the street, with defected stormtroopers, while Poe leads the battle in the skies. My one issue is I don’t see the fleet being hidden below Coruscant. Anyway, luckily, the ground isn’t visible in most shots, so it could just be said to be happening in the upper atmosphere. The space horses are visibly in the sky, however. Maybe they could stay there instead of on the streets?

I never understood the appeal of The Shawshank Redemption.

Or more likely, it’d just add a lot more…stuff. Stuff that was probably deleted for good reason…but you know, it’s a fun novelty nonetheless.

Agreed. Watching in production order, Joker’s early episodes were an embarrassment. In fact, the show didn’t really win me over until five episodes in with The Underdweller.

What I would do for a LOTR style Extended edition of the Sequels.

Hey, I’d take EE for the whole Saga, honestly.

No series deserves to slowly go from amazing to embarrassing over a 10 year run.

I’m watching it in what I understand to be production order. Eventual I got suspicious when Harley Quinn showed without introduction, so I looked into viewing order and couldn’t find any alternative, besides airing order, which seemed just as absurd. They had two-parters with other episodes in between, ffs. So I stuck with production order. I think I’ll compile a recommended viewing order afterwards. Really, though, it doesn’t matter since the stories are all self-contained.

Sequels next to the original regardless of title.

Objection! Animation isn’t a genre.
