<strong>The Rise Of Skywalker</strong> — Official Review and Opinions Thread

Pacifism is clearly the Jedi ideal. I actually think Rey finding a way to set aside her lightsaber would have been a better resolution, and a more interesting path for her to take the Jedi order in.

Simply being able to kill the big bad guy is terribly unimaginative and un-meaningful as a victory for the character and for the Jedi as a whole.

Maybe we will learn about those ideals in the some upcoming pre-prequels in a galaxy long long long ago. That would be cool. I agree it would be a great direction to set aside the lightsaber.

Okay so she still killed him, just not in the specific way Palpatine wanted. So she won on a technicality. Not really a huge victory for her character though is it?

Failure would have been using the dark side or becoming a Sith, etc. Jedi’s are not pacifists. They all make their own personal handheld decapitation machine. So yes, melting Palpatine’s face off, accomplishing something even Yoda could not do, that’s a huge victory for her character. From scavenger to savior of the Jedi Order.

Idea: Knights of Ren Overhaul - Ideas for Fixing the KoR in TROS
Time

I disagree. I personally would like to add new dialogue so the Knights of Ren are more menacing and have some gravitas. Below are a few ideas:

Pasaana Chewie Scene (two KoR watch Chewie in the desert):
Knight A: A friend of Luke’s.
Knight B: I get his teeth.

Kijimi Alley Scene (the KoR pause in an alley just after Rey and the gang passed nearby):
Knight A: No sign of her. No one’s talking.
Knight B: Burn it down. Just like the temple.
Knight C: No. Start killing all the women.

Exegol Ben Fight Scene (the KoR confront a weaponless Ben):
Knight A: Let’s take our time with him.
Knight B: Ready to join your father?

This is a small thread to throw out ideas on how to make the Knights of Ren better in The Rise of Skywalker. . . .

Possible new story goals through added dialogue or otherwise might show the KoR:

  1. as more menacing and intimidating
  2. hate their former Master Skywalker
  3. are force users/force sensitive
  4. don’t like Ren’s obsession with Rey

Jonh, please upload your edit of the ghosts to YouTube for everyone to appreciate. It’s cringey seeing fanboys’ poor attempts at doing the same thing. The world deserves to se your version.

Oh and about your new clip you’re not fooling anyone, that’s clearly AotC, but the rest of the scene is good. You’re on the right track!

He’s more than just on the right track. He is steering the whole movie back onto the right track.

EDIT: I suppose you were switching subjects; thought you were referring to jonh material. Yeah idir_hh used the prequel material. I’s very difficult to match the look of that with the sequel trilogy.

Dom's (Possibly) Useful TROS Edit (WIP)
Time

Hal I really like your spark of hope imagery from Poe’s words in TLJ. Using this and also being more cognizant of what a crawl is supposed to accomplish, I updated my draft crawl, as long as you’re ok with others using some of your ideas.

All who dared to speak the name Luke Skywalker are now silent, slaughtered by the merciless KNIGHTS OF REN. Yet across the galaxy the spark of hope still lives on.

Supreme Leader Kylo Ren has grown more reckless and unstable. The sudden evacuation of First Order troops from Han Solo’s home world of CORELLIA has spiraled the planet into civil war.

Meanwhile, General Leia Organa senses a sinister presence lurking in the UNKNOWN REGIONS. Many Ovissian spies have died trying to uncover this threat…
