The Rise of Skywalker: Ascendant (Released)
Time

EDIT: Here would be the dialogue for the whole Anch-To scene:


Rey: “Master Skywalker!

Luke: “What are you doing?

Rey: “I saw myself on the dark throne. I won’t let it happen. I’m never leaving this place. I’m doing what you did.

Luke: “I was wrong. It was fear that kept me here. What are you most afraid of?

Rey: “Myself.

Luke: “Because, you’re a Palpatine? Leia sensed it as she trained you.

Rey: “She didn’t tell me. She still trained me.

Luke: “Because she saw your spirit. Your heart. Rey, some things are stronger than blood. Confronting fear is the destiny of a Jedi. Your destiny. If you don’t face Palpatine, it will mean the end of the Jedi, and the war will be lost. There’s something my sister would want you to have.

Rey: “Leia’s saber.

Luke: “She was quick to learn in our training. But Leia feared the hatred that consumed our father, choosing instead to follow our mother’s path. Despite losing everything and everyone, Leia always chose compassion over hatred. A thousand generations live in you now, but this is your fight. Let Leia’s legacy guide you on Exegol."

Rey: “I can’t get there, I destroyed Ren’s ship.

Luke: “You have everything you need.

Rey: “Two were made.


I wouldn’t mind adding a final Luke line after he lifts the X-Wing when Rey looks back at him smiling:

Luke: “We’ll always be with you.

It just foreshadows the added ghosts on Exegol and then Tatooine all too well 😃

Luke: “She was quick to learn in our training. But Leia was afraid of succumbing to the same darkness that consumed our father, choosing instead to follow our mother’s path. Despite losing everything and everyone, Leia never wavered, and always chose compassion. A thousand generations live in you now, but this is your fight. Let Leia’s legacy guide you on Exegol.

I threw @JarJar’s in ChatGPT with a prompt of “make this sound more natural” and then made some further tweaks. I think it reads a little better, but up to Hal!

EDIT: (to make it even shorter, if needed)

She was quick to learn in our training. But Leia felt she could better serve the galaxy through diplomacy, as our mother once did. In her life, Leia lost everything, and everyone, but she still chose to love. A thousand generations live in you now. We’ll always be with you, but this is your fight.

Please don’t bring back the “both sabers” line! I like the concept we had because it is really the only time where there is a “passing of the torch” to Rey. Basically Luke saying, yeah Rey, we’ll still be around, but it’s your job to make the right choice now.

Also, I do quite like the new AI line that mentions their mother. Yes. It is fan service. But it would be the only time, Padme, a core character from the prequels is mentioned in any post-ROTS movies. It would suck to lose this, and this does feel like something that could have been in the original version of the film. The new line also describes Leia’s “canon” reason perfectly.

Rey: “Myself.

Luke: "Because you’re a Palpatine? Leia sensed his power while she trained you.

Rey: “She didn’t tell me… she still trained me.

Luke: “Because she saw your spirt, your heart. Rey, some things are stronger than blood.


Luke: “There’s something my sister would want you to have.

Rey: “Leia’s saber…

Luke: “She was quick to learn in our training… but Leia felt she could better serve the galaxy through diplomacy, as our mother once did. Leia was defined by her attachments, and throughout her life she lost everything, and everyone. But in the end, she still chose love. A thousand generations live in you now. Let Leia’s legacy be a guide through the darkness you face.

Rey: “I don’t have the Wayfinder. I destroyed Ren’s ship!

Luke: “You have everything you need.

<strong>The Bad Batch</strong> (animated series) - a general discussion thread - * <strong>SPOILERS</strong> *

yoshif8tures said:

Season 2 was about 60% filler, jus sayin

Please define filler for me?

Because nowadays it seems like a blanket term people use to apply to a show that they pretend that they like even though they only like the first, middle, and last episode of that show.

Since Disney was uber lazy with this series and just went with "Part 1, Part 2, etc.

What would you name the episodes?

EDIT: I got bored today and came up with…

  • Part I - Out of the Shadows
  • Part II - Into the Underworld
  • Part III - The Path
  • Part IV - Behind Enemy Lines
  • Part V - The Siege of Jabiim
  • Part VI - Who You Become

It’s close, but not perfect just yet. It just isn’t flowing for some reason I don’t know why. How about?

She was quick to learn in our training. But Leia feared the darkness that haunted our father. She surrendered her saber to me and chose to continue our mother’s compassionate work across the galaxy. Throughout her life, Leia lost everything, but she still chose love. A thousand generations live in you now. Let Leia’s legacy be your guide."

The current version clearly states WHY Leia decides to stop the Jedi Path, we are missing that in this new take.

And if you need it shorter to fit:
She was quick to learn in our training. But Leia feared the darkness that haunted our father. She surrendered her saber to me and chose to continue our mother’s path. Throughout her life, Leia lost everything, but she still chose love. A thousand generations live in you now. Let Leia’s legacy be your guide."

Luke:She was quick to learn in our training. But Leia feared the hatred that turned our father, she knew she could better serve the galaxy with compassion, as our mother once did. Throughout it all, Leia lost everything, and everyone, but she always chose love. A thousand generations live in you now. Rey, let Leia’s legacy be your guide through the darkness.

Good points!

But Leia feared giving in to hatred like our father, choosing instead to follow our mother’s path. Leia lost so much in her life, but despite all of it, she always chose to love.

She didn’t lose everyone. She still had the Rey and Resistance and Chewie, etc. haha. I reworded slightly to sound more natural, at least to me!

Quick fix…?

"She was quick to learn in our training. But Leia felt she could better serve the galaxy through diplomacy, as our mother once did.

Our father’s past troubled Leia too, but she knew that choosing to love would always overpower any darkness.

A thousand generations live in you now. We’ll always be with you, but this is your fight."

How about this?

Second line:

  • Because you’re a Palpatine? Leia sensed his power in you.

Third line:

  • She was quick to learn in our training. But Leia felt she could better serve the galaxy through diplomacy, as our mother once did. Despite everything she lost, Leia never gave into hatred, she knew that love would always win. A thousand generations live in you now. We’ll always be with you, but this is your fight.

I do think that line sounds a lot more convincing this go around and does sound like something that could have been included in the original cut. “Ben, come home.” says a lot more than just “Ben”.

I think it would work great as Kylo was just saying before that neither of them could go back to Leia now, and for Leia to just prove him so blatantly wrong is enough for him to be in shock, “My mom still loves me after everything I’ve done?”. It also makes his discussion with Han about honoring what Leia fought for even stronger.
