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

Yeah, I think making a clean Rey nobody version as a base is a good idea first. Then we can use it to make some more radical ideas. The Rey nobody version of ascendant is honestly pretty good on its own so I’m not sure what else needs to be done to get this clean version. Is there anything not present in that version that we would like to add without adding any more complex storylines?

That would be cool if it could be communicated. The whole chosen one prophecy wasn’t really explored in the prequels so expanding on that in this movie as a replacement for the Rey Palatine arc would be a great way to tie into the prequels and make this feel like a true finale. There are some questions I think most people would want answered: is this tied to a prophecy like Anakin? Who made it, and how does kylo know about it? Recontexualizing it to fit Rey’s arc would be awesome.

I like that idea. I feel like part of Rey’s character in TROS is trying to live up to the legacy that’s been passed down to her, and eventually accepting her role as a Jedi and a Skywalker in the end. Making her the literal chosen one that will decide the fate of the Galaxy definitely puts the pressure on her to not give in to the dark. I think the only thing that’s missing is an external reason for her to be drawn towards the dark that the audience would actually maybe buy. We all know she’s not gonna take the throne just because palpy asks her to. The visions kind of work for this, but I wonder if there’s some better solution.

Spence's PT Edits Round 3 (V1 Released)

I think I can hear it slightly, it’s not that noticeable but right before Anakin says that line it sounds like a transition that needs to be faded a little more. Also, this may just be my display, but I noticed a sort of fuzzyness on the video, like the grain is too big? Here’s a pic from that scene, you can kind of see it in Mace’s saber. Idk, I just kept noticing it while I was skimming through.

<em>REY NOBODY</em> - A Collaborative Thread

“Because he’s afraid of your power. The force chose you, Rey, the same way it chose my grandfather. Now only you can decide the fate of the Galaxy.”

“What Palpatine doesn’t know is that we’re a dyad in the force. Two that are one. We’ll kill him, and take the fleet. Together.”

This explains that Palpatine wants her dead because he doesn’t want to mess with another chosen one since he got killed by one before.

This also makes Anakin’s line at the end about bringing back balance much cooler.

That’s really cool, it feels much more like an expansion on what Kylo says in TLJ than the theatrical version. Like Shmi, Rey’s parents aren’t important, but she doesn’t need them to be important to this story. I also love the idea of there being multiple chosen ones throughout history, and Rey is just another in a long line of them.

If it’s stated that Rey was chosen by the force to bring balance, I feel like there’s less risk of her turning to the dark, so maybe drawing some connections with Anakin being the “chosen one” and still turning would be interesting. Also, does Rey have a dad if she’s chosen by the force? Do all chosen ones have no father like Anakin? Rey seems to insinuate that she had a father, but she could just be assuming that. Probably not super important but worth thinking about.

MCU: A Recommended Reordering
Time

That’s pretty solid, here’s what I would tweak:

Phases 1-3 (stays the same)

Phase 4 - Aftermath

  • Far From Home
  • Falcon and Winter Soldier (these first 2 show a bit about the blip and the legacy of our 2 main heroes in the infinity saga)
  • Daredevil S1 (introduces kingpin/Matt)
  • Hawkeye (christmas!!!)
  • GOTG Holiday Special (christmas!!!)
  • Wakanda Forever
  • GOTG Vol. 3
  • Loki (ends on something relevant to the saga and is a prelude to the multiverse phases)

Phase 5 - Spiderverse (this one is my fav)

  • Into the Spiderverse (introduces the multiverse in terms of Spider-Man really well)
  • Spider-Man 1-3
  • TASM 1-2
  • Venom
  • No Way Home

Phase 6 - Multiversal Mutants

(This one is the same)

Phase 7 - Multiversal Collisions

  • AMATW: Quantumania
  • Loki S2
  • Deadpool
  • Logan
  • Shang Chi
  • ATSV
  • BTSV
  • Deadpool 3

This order keeps focus on the main MCU and allows for the best of the other universes, and skips the really bad stuff (Thor 4 👺) and the currently irrelevant stuff (moon knight, eternals, etc.) Phase 7 will probably change as new stuff is released and the multiverse threads continue.

EDIT: If I remember correctly Kingpin ends up in prison at the end of Daredevil so it may not make sense there. Ideally it would go in phase 3 but that would disturb the rule of 8s. You could take it out and move Shang chi up if it bothers you.

I would separate the Infinity and Multiverse saga with two six film mini sagas, Spider-Man and X-Men. Spider-Man saga would be the raimi trilogy, the two TASMs, and Venom. X-Men saga would go X-Men, X2, First Class, DOFP, Deadpool, Logan. I feel like watching these before the Multiverse saga pay off as we start to see these characters pop up, and this order gives you the basic X-Men story while skipping all the awful ones. And with them in between, you get a nice break from the main MCU universe.

The New Republic Movie Series EPIV: A Threat From Beyond (An Ahsoka Series Edit) [RELEASED]

I would keep the Marrok ghost blood partly because it foreshadows the zombie troopers and explains what he is, but also because it’s a cool homage to that scene in Sanjuro when the dude gets sliced up and squirts blood everywhere. I love all the Kurosawa references since Lucas was heavily inspired by it when he made ANH.

Where would you put the NR attack in TFA? I think it would work well to have it where the attack is in restructured, and then you could say that the FO was using starkiller as a red herring to distract the resistance from the dreadnaught deploying. You wouldn’t be able to get the main characters immediate reactions but it could work.

Edit: You could also get a little meta with the ANH connections and have the rebels assume that the FO is building a new superlaser and rush to destroy it, which plays right into the FO’S plan to distract them.
