The Rise of Skywalker: Ascendant (Released)

Slight update. I just don’t feel that Luke’s “final lesson” line feels right when put into context, only because it doesn’t match his tone and cadence in the scene. I love the line itself, but it just doesn’t seem like it’ll work seamlessly.

What about something like this? If possible…

Luke Skywalker: Rey, some things are stronger than blood. Confronting fear is the destiny of a Jedi. Your destiny, and my final lesson. If you don’t face Palpatine, it will mean the end of the Jedi, and the war will be lost.

<strong>The Mandalorian</strong> - a general discussion thread - * <em><strong>SPOILERS</strong></em> *
Time

I’m too invested in Star Wars to just move on, but the inner kid in me that wants to watch everything as soon as it comes out is fading. Gone is the time of Star Wars being must watch spoiler-free content opening day for me… I’ll make some popcorn and throw it on eventually at some point.

Meh, the only way I see Star Wars becoming great again is for them to totally ditch the PT, OT and ST eras and make something original-ish. The Old Republic content is a no-brainer to put butts in seats but onward to the unwanted Rey movie we go…

Kevin Feige Developing New Star Wars Movie
Time

Seems like the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing. It still amazes me how things can be getting botched this bad. After the mostly negative reception of sequels upon their completion, you’d think LucasFilm would be more on top of things and what they choose to do and release to the public.

The fact that Kathleen Kennedy, the HEAD of LucasFilm, hasn’t seen the script/plans for a movie that was announced and reported on is just baffling. At this point, LucasFilm just needs a complete restructure from the top down. Kathy needs to go and there needs to be someone like Feige at Marvel that has a clear vision and actually cares about the franchise.

It seems like LucasFilm will continue to throw things to the wall and see what will stick. They have more canceled movies and shows than successful releases at this point and given Kathy’s lack of knowledge of this project… this will 100% be another canceled LucasFilm project.

At this point… I think I’m learning to just accept the ST.

Yes, they made bad story decisions. Yes, there were missed opportunities. But… they are never going away.

So I’d rather enjoy what fun new Star Wars we do get that tries to improve the ST story rather than try to find a way to complain about anything new.

Plus, with the quality ST edits… those are my canon, and it makes the story much more palatable and cohesive.

This episode is a good part of a badly written story in my view.

That’s a very fair statement. Hopefully things get back on track in the writing department for Ahsoka and Mando S4. When this show has its highs they are certainly high, but that shouldn’t be for only 25% of a season… it should be 80-100% no questions asked.

Hal’s Rogue One edit (a half-assed version of DigMod’s) (Released)
Time

ROGUE ONE

The Republic has fallen. In its
wake, the Empire has engulfed the
far reaches of the galaxy in
fear. Few oppose the unquestioned
rule of the EMPEROR.

Galen Erso, an Imperial scientist
whose knowledge has made him an
invaluable asset has gone into
hiding, hoping to prevent his
skills from being used for the
Empire’s sinister efforts.

Discovering the remote location
of his former comrade, the
unnerving Director Orson Krennic
is intent on retrieving Erso to
complete their ominous work,
no matter the cost…


I’d say the crawl would work well to tease something bad, but save the “ultimate weapon” or “Death Star” talk for the film itself.

Here is one I posted WAYYYY back in December of 2016 😄

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…

STAR WARS

ROGUE ONE

Six years have passed since the
Galactic Empire tightened its grip
on the galaxy. Hope is fading, fear
is everywhere.

Fearing his family’s lives are at
risk, Galen Erso, an Imperial
Scientist, has fled to the
small remote planet of Lah’mu
with the help of Saw Gerrera, a
Rebel extremist.

Desperate for Galen’s valuable
research, Orson Krennic, director
of the dreaded DEATH STAR
project, has recently discovered
Galen’s location and has been
sent to retrieve him…

'Rey Skywalker' (Upcoming live action motion picture) - general discussion thread
Time

In my mind this movie only works if Mark Hamill is in it. If Rey looks up to Luke enough to call herself “Rey Skywalker”… show us that relationship!

Have Rey’s new Jedi Order established on Anch-To, and since the location is stong with the force or some other bs reason, also give me force ghost Luke training Jedi too and having fun teaching with Rey and guiding the students.

It can even be a smaller role that book ends the movie. There’s a threat, Luke helps train students more and gives advice, Rey leaves with students and uses Luke’s guidance. Aka, don’t be afraid to use Luke and still make him a participant in rebuilding the Order!

For example… see “Professor Binns” in the Harry Potter novels, but not as boring.
