Big fan of :frog:



"The hero wins by embracing the light and dark side and finding an internal balance" is about as risky as TLJ's "empire/FO vs Rebels/Resistance is a sideshow to distract from the fact that we should be breaking out space-guillotines" and its not surprising that neither of those things got made.

well why not posted:

It comes up again in RoS, too - in the forest training scene, she loses her focus and can't beat the training droid with her lightsaber, so she picks up a staff and wallops it immediately. It isn't like JJ forgot about it since TFA, he forgot about it within the same movie.

I'd have liked a reveal that there is no "dark side of the Force" because the Force is just, well, a force. All this "balance" talk is sounds uncomfortably centrist

Watching the movie my first thought it was the guy that asked why not do the maneuver that ended up doing it as a “lmao one in a million what the hell check THIS out”

The "one in a million" line was probably ADR done long after the rest of the special effects were done; whoever decided to add it may not have even been aware that shot was in the movie

Well I'll be, that's pretty loving stupid. It's a shame somebody went to the trouble of throwing away their own life and a functional cruiser when Concerned Citizens' Fleet could've come by in a week ago and cleaned things up.

Why were there Star Destroyers at Endor again? Were they in the system the day before when Rey & Friends were rummaging around on Ocean Moon? If so I guess those AWOL Stormtroopers picked a good time to leave.

So we've got a fleet of 10,000 or maybe 10 million randos from across the galaxy on Exogol, where an entire fleet of Star Destroyers equipped with miniature Death Star cannons have just crashed back to the surface. Is there any reason that every Tom, Dick, and Harry who tagged along won't be able to scavenge the miniature Death Star tech and take it back to their respective militias/terrorist organizations?

Within 5-10 years everybody who's anybody is going to have planet-destroying weaponry. But hell, maybe that's how we finally get a lasting peace.

Sans lingua franca, the galaxy will be torn asunder. And then, it shall be free. People will suffer, of course - a phantom pain. The galaxy will need a new common tongue. A language of Death Stars. My Death Star Destroyers shall be the thread by which all systems are bound together, in equality. No words will be needed. Every man will be forced to recognize his neighbor. People will swallow their pain. They will link lost hands. And the galaxy will become one. This star war... is star peace.

Really like the imagery here. Also like the resolution for the free fathiers from TLJ, if anything it would have kept people from constantly bringing it up.

Really could see several of these ideas mined for a stories pre and post-TRoS.

If, rather than confronting Palpatine, Rey either helps with the space battle or just stays on Takodana and doesn't show up at all, doesn't the Resistance still win the Battle of Exogol? If he doesn't have Rey and Kylo there to siphon some juice from, he's basically still just a frail husk and the Resistance can just shoot him or hang him for war crimes or whatever. I know the same could be said of Luke and the Battle of Endor, but Luke at least had a personal stakes with trying to win over his father.
