“In The Last Jedi, Leia is seen flying in space towards the Resistance flagship, with zero build-up at all.” - she isn’t flying - she is using the Force to pull herself to the ship.

Yes, the scene wasn’t filmed / shot well at all - and has given rise to a claims of ‘Leia flies’ etc… yet no, she didn’t fly.

The “with zero build-up at all”…

Well, you just demonstrated that Leia is Force sensitive from ESB and ROTJ… yet you forgot where there is a force connection with her son in TFA as he contemplated firing on the lead command ship. So it’s not a surprise to learn she also had knowledge of, or could pull off with a certain degree, other aspects of using the Force.

Though you do not see it on-screen would it be surprising that as a child… Kylo spent time with Leia and Luke all together using the force for fun, games or education etc? Like families do?

As for Leia’s force-sensitivity “completely undermines the entire quest to find Luke in The Force Awakens”…

It is explained in TFA… that Luke cut himself off from the Force - and seemingly the ability for other force-users to be able to find him - not just his sister Leia… but more experienced, powerful and adept force-users like Kylo and Snoke.

That Leia would not be strong in the force enough able to battle Kylo or Snoke should come as no surprise - she has devoted her adult life since ROTJ to serving the Galaxy as a politician - and not practicing increasing her Force abilities to such a level to fight ‘Dark Side’ users.

TROS Spoiler:

Leia dumping Luke on his backside whilst ‘training’ in a flashback some 25 years before… doesn’t mean Leia could have gone up against Snoke or Kylo - or the Emperor. Yoda MAY have referred to her once as being ‘another’ from the ‘No, there is another…’ line of dialogue - but her life has changed considerably since then…

 
Luke remained their last best hope… until the Force awakened in Rey, and she became ready to stand against them (Kylo, Snoke, and now the Emperor…
 

Just a reminder given the content of the last few posts…

This thread is NOT the place for members to rehash previous circular and oft-repeated debates that have taken place in the TFA/TLJ or more relevant character threads etc - this thread is for discussing Episode IX.

Thank you.

Even in the 4K restoration thread about the Original Trilogy… people have to continue to air their off-topic gripes / views / agendas about Prequels and Sequels?

I strongly suggest it stops - and for those wish to continue the conversation about PT/ST etc go find the far more relevant thread(s).

Thank you.

Quite the game going on right now…

This one, mate?

I was very, very nervy 😃 The referee made some ‘interesting decisions’ throughout… Flamengo were quality and dogged, and probed away well and forcing Alisson into some quality saves). Yet thankfully we managed to get a couple of quality ‘final balls’ through to make the difference…

Great to be ‘Champions Of The World’ 😃

I had a tee made of my OT logo!

Very cool mate 😃

That is some sterling work on this project, Sir! Well in 😃

^ PM sent mate.

It is a slow process and will take a good while to sift through each of the 5000+ threads (202 pages) and put everything in the correct / most relevant section.

There may be some overlaps / crossover for a few threads or topics of conversation - though we’re always happy to hear all your thoughts and views on them, and in which section some threads may be more suited.
 

We’ll let everyone know when all the moving of threads is finally complete (or we think it is all done! 😃)

(26th December Edit: all the threads from the old ‘General Star Wars Discussion’ section have now been moved into their new sections… please let us know if you think we have made any mistakes and some threads are in the wrong section - thank you 😃
 
 

The main aim of this change was to slim down and re-organise the main ‘General Star Wars Discussion’ section; 5000+ threads was just got too large a place… and with more new Star Wars releases on the way we thought it best to separate the Original Trilogy discussions (and also what the site is about - being able to watch the unaltered theatrical versions of the Original Trilogy, the suppression of the OOT & why, George’s claims & decisions, the various OT releases - and continuing changes made to them, and early site history / evolving OT preservation projects & OT fan edits etc) - from the other Star Wars content.

In doing so it seemed logical to also have an ‘Expanded Universe’ section too - featuring discussions on Star Wars books & comics, games & gaming, soundtracks & music, documentaries & spoofs, homages & fan films, fan clubs & cons, theme parks & rides etc.

Hopefully it should also make threads / discussions on certain subjects a little easier to find too…

The Welcome to the OT.com; Introduce yourself in here thread is just that; a place to make your first post on here - and for more longstanding members to welcome new additions to our community.

Secondly, the About and Help sections may be of interest to you regarding this site and what the OriginalTrilogy•com is about.

Thirdly, the ’How do I do this?’ on the OriginalTrilogy.com - some info & answers to members’ queries thread should also hopefully be of some help as to many of the functions of the site, along with other related info as well.

The Announcements Section - including Site Rules & Guidelines, Fan Edit & Preservation Rules & FAQ, as well info for Signatures, Linking Policy for Downloads, and Plot Spoiler Policy (and much more) that may be of use too.

If you are having any issues with the site, have a question, an idea to improve the site, or would like to give some feedback - then these can be done in the Feedback Forum and General Assistance sections.

There are also several Index Threads pinned at the top of many respective sections of the OT•com - which may help members find various topics of discussion, fan edits, preservations and other projects etc.

To Join the OT.com Discord server! click on the link. There is also the OriginalTrilogy.com Twitter too.

’An OriginalTrilogy.com timeline thread - a history of the site and why & how it came to be…’ chronicles both the history of this site & also it’s continuing evolution.

The ’Complete Comparison of Special Edition Visual Changes’ thread by doubleofive contains many sources of information as to the numerous changes made to the Original Trilogy films over time - as well as serving as an insightful and comprehensive discussion thread and reference point on the subject.

Finally, the ’George Lucas: Unreliable Narrator & Time Travelling Revisionist…' thread attempts to highlight and catalogue some of the revisionism, altering of history and contradictory claims by George Lucas / Lucasfilm as to the formation, planning and history of the Star Wars films and universe therein.

It does seem there were some scenes cut from the film; from the ‘The Rise of Skywalker The Visual Dictionary’ (out on the 22nd December - though seems some have been sent out early), in this case Kylo Ren and ‘Cult Colonists’ on Mustafar:-

That guy looks like the ones Kylo fights in the first scene, which presumably takes place on Mustafar.

Ha! I’d completely forgot about that scene - doh! Thanks, man. I’m definitely going to have to go and watch this again 😃

https://i.redd.it/i48venrjmq541.jpg

Same here - the humour from having the characters not be able to talk was pretty sweet 😃

It’d be great if it that talking feature is optional - and I also hope they keep the ‘pick up and play’ feel of the previous games too (whether for a quick 10 minute blast - or sitting down for a couple of hours on it)…
 

Box Office Mojo has IX at for making $59.1m internationally, so far:-

The-Number has the same $59.1m figure internationally, and with $40 million for the US, so far:-

Seems there will also be an 18-disc ‘Skywalker Saga’ blu ray box set (and a 9-disc box set on dvd) - for the UK at least…

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B082WXD4ZH & https://us.zavvi.com/blu-ray-and-dvd/the-rise-of-skywalker/box-sets.list
 

^ going on this article - https://thedigitalbits.com/columns/my-two-cents/121919-0930
 

I imagine there’ll also be an option in most other countries too… (or ‘on import’ for those that may prefer it IF it a UK-only thing)

Aight folks, here’s my TROS cover - still not 100% on the logo, but I’ve yet to see any fanmande ones that I like, so I cooked a new one up myself:

Sometime when I’m bored I’ll make a fresh thread with all of my covers in one place.

I love that - and have been staring at the logo for an unhealthy amount of time! It must be the elegance in the simplicity of it (or something like that 😉) - sweet work mate.

You guys asked for it…

😃

It’ll be intriguing to find out more about the cut / deleted scenes for the film…

For me, JJ has an abrupt / fast-paced style sometimes where cuts to the next scene come in quite early - resulting in not giving time for the emotion or resonance of some scenes to be fully taken in or absorbed by the viewer (not on the first viewing anyway).

Let’s hope they are also not time-stamped this time around a la TFA 😉

Edit: The Jedi voices speaking to Rey (as best as I can figure out - and so some are probably incorrect):-

Obi-Wan Kenobi (McGregor): “These are your final steps, Rey… rise and take them”
Anakin Skywalker: “Rey”
Ahsoka: “Rey”
Kanan: “Rey”
Anakin Skywalker: “Bring back the balance Rey, as I did…”
Ahsoka: “In the light - find the light, Rey…”
Indistinguishable… - a female voice, and then Yoda?
Qui-Gon Jinn: “Every Jedi who ever lived, lives in you…”
Anakin Skywalker: “The Force surrounds you, Rey”
Aayla Secura: “Let it guide you, as it guided us”
Mace Windu: “Feel the Force flowing through you, Rey”
Anakin Skywalker: “Let it lift you”
Adi Gallia: “Rise, Rey”
Luminara Unduli: “Rey”
Qui-Gon Jinn: “We stand behind you, Rey”
Obi-Wan Kenobi (Guinness): “Rey”
Yoda: “Rise in the Force”
Kanan: “In the heart of the Jedi lies her strength”
Obi-Wan Kenobi (McGregor): “Rise”
Qui-Gon Jinn: “Rise”
Luke Skywalker: “Rey, the Force will be with you… always”

An article on the voices (according to this below, Ezra was not featured):-

Rocknroll41 & Dr. Dre looking pretty good right about now.

That is a very low figure mate 😉

doubleofive posted the following in the 4K restoration on Star Wars thread - though it is also worth highlighting in here too:-

I’m really not liking this defeatist attitude. We’ve been fighting for the OOT for 15+ years. I’m not about to give up now. JJ says he didn’t even understand Disney’s excuse. Which says to me they probably don’t have a valid excuse. Just that they don’t see a demand that would override “George asked us not to”.

The problem I’m seeing is an “I got mine” attitude. Disney doesn’t seem to mind the fan restorations as much as Lucas did (which is why he released the GOUT). The more we go around saying “Well, I guess it’s not coming, doesn’t matter to me because I’ve got [DEED/4KXX/VHS]”, the less likely Disney is going to spend money to give us new scans. I’m not saying we can’t have and enjoy the fan preservations, I’m saying we can’t pretend they would be ANYTHING compared to a professional scan of the uncirculated three color separation backups they have just sitting in an archive. We have to make the demand.

The fact that Disney may be depending on the fans to preserve film history is shameful. And we can’t depend on ourselves to be able to preserve it for future generations. Or even past generations. I shouldn’t have to download shady copies of the movies my parents loved to then convert into a different format to then burn on a disc and hope it works on their disc players. We as fans should not be depended on to distribute the original films.

The simple fact is that the originals are historical artifacts. We need to convince Disney of that.

I have an article written that goes through every addition & how each one ruins the movies & shows how none of them were actually done for artistic purposes. I hope when it’s published that it will be the spark that burns down the Special Editions, or at least shows that they are so flawed that we deserve to at least have the option to watch the originals.

So wait, is Star Wars really the Saga of Palpatine? %^%&& Disney in their #@4%^!!!

One hundred percent. This isn’t the Skywalker saga, it’s the Palpatine saga. He’s the only character to be continuously present in all eras of this story and is also the only one that actually succeeds in some of his efforts.

But Rey is a Skywalker now. That was the message I thought came across at the end. Family is not just blood. Adoption and all that.

And also the mindset of people too in the wider sense - that the character and actions of a person are more important than past connotations, connections or expectations with the name of someone or a group.
