This is a little ambitious but what do you think of the idea of implying Snoke to be one the Sith acolytes of palpatine? Perhaps a “High Priest of the Sith” so to speak. This could be done by changing his robes to black/purple and redubbing him to speak Sith. I think its an efficient way of foreshadowing the events of TROS and would add a little extra Lore in TLJ.
“Leia sensed the death of her son at the end of her Jedi path” is the absolute worst. Her son dies anyway lol. Can’t wait for the ROTJ-TFA Filoni animated series to retcon this into something less low effort.
That line felt so contrived, changing it to “Leia sensed the BIRTH of her son” would make a lot more sense as to why she would quit being a Jedi.
I believe he/she also said the movie opened with the Luke and Leia flashback at some point, which would then transition to Leia watching Rey train.
I think it’s still possible to edit it that way provided we extend some scenes, have the crawl pan down to luke and leia training with added sound affects and just when they lift up their visors we cut to Rey taking off her helmet during her training montage.
Ugh, I can’t believe they changed it… But thank the Force that they left in a few mentions of the Force dyad still.
Yeah that was hinted at by Snoke in the TLJ and according to the early Paxis leaks Palpatine new all along about the Dyad , he originally told kylo to bring Rey alive so that they can inherit his thrown as emperor and empress after he dies with the intention obviously to suck the life out of them once they come together.
I like to think Snoke may have been clone bodies leftover by his master, Plagueis, that Sidious then used for his own purposes. He could’ve just been a homunculus, though. Not even sure how that could be tied in. But it would be a fun way to confirm those theories true, from a certain point of view!
I really like the idea of Palpatine using his Master as a pawn in a twisted form of revenge.
Ironic.
I really can’t blame them though for not incorporating the FinnPoe angle, it would have been a financial suicide especially in the international market.
Give it a few decades tho…
TROS has remained at exactly 86% audience rating at Rotten Tomatoes despite over 25,000 new reviews and at Metacritic it’s at 50% going up and down over the last few days.
“I smell foul play”
Maybe I’m old school, but I find it impossible to get too excited about much beyond the Skywalker Saga.
I still frame it the old way: things that have “Episode __” in the title are ‘Star Wars’ proper, and everything else is Expanded Universe and may or may not be steamrolled at any time. That’s remained true in recent years despite official denial. Fight me.
Maybe something like for the the next trilogy:
STAR WARS
The Old Republic:
Episode I
Episode II
Episode III
The novelisation will probably incorporate all the deleted scenes so an extended cut wouldn’t necessarily go against canon.
Something that really bothers me is how the “Supreme leader” of the First Order completely forgets about using his fleet against the Sith after returning to the light.
Technically not but I saw it as a father figure moment.
Villeneuve’s aesthetic is just perfect for star wars.
After TROS underperforming I doubt the higher ups at Disney will give Johnson his trilogy.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they put the blame on TLJ for the decline of interest in Star Wars.
I hope they give the next trilogy to a visionary like Denis Villeneuve
“Twice the pride double the fall”
LUKES WIG - Must have been the same dudes work who did Ewans wig in AOTC.
That wig was insulting.
Also
-Alternate intro for Palpatine being tied to a bed.
-Alternate achto scene
-Finn’s confession
-More scenes at the beginning with FO generals
-Alternate climax with force ghosts attacking palpatine
-Luke appearing to leia as she died
…etc etc
The behind the scenes “documentaries” for the Disney Trilogy are just promotional material.
Will you be adding anything to foreshadow the events in TROS?
Yup my bad, not really extended just some extra scenes at the end.
Here you go
Endgame was re-released with an extended version so Disney might be doing the same with Star wars (I hope).
It looks like the original cut was a longer and more nuanced, seems like the film was watered down to the lowest common denominator.
This is how the film was changed during reshoots according to more recent leaks
If anyone is interested in what the “original cut” of TROS looked like I strongly recommend they read these early leaks:
Is there any way of reinstating Hux’s speach?
