Crion posted:I'm not sure there's any answer to the parentage question that properly respects the amount of weight Episode VII put on 1) the importance of remembering one's past, figuratively and literally, and learning from it and 2) the importance of Rey's past specifically that isn't "child of Skywalker and Erso," to be honest. It means Luke's a lovely dad and mom's probably dead, but it is what it is. Every theory involving Snoke and Kenobi sounds precisely like what the reveal would be if this was being plotted by LOST writers more concerned about pulling one over on the audience than telling a coherent narrative. Lineage and bloodline are important aspects of the mythic storytelling tradition which Star Wars is based on, but a lot of more modernistic fans really don't like that. The movies do also deal with adoptive parents (the Organas, the Larses), surrogate parents (Watto, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Palpatine), and non-traditional parents (Jango Fett), but humans have always had and probably always will have a fixation on knowing where they came from in a genealogical sense, for good or ill. Of course there are people who couldn't care less but I think they're probably in the minority. This whole obsession with wanting all the characters to be absolute nobodies with no genealogical relations to the great heroes of the past is a result of some sort of misguided progressive reservations about anything that might smack even faintly of genetic determinism. But the reason that's misguided is because although the genealogical relations are always literal in the stories, symbolically they're just a motif expressing the idea of historical continuity and the cyclical nature of human life. It's why the genealogies are so important in the Bible. If you do away the literal bloodline connections then you're basically reduced to just outright explaining all those ideas in some spurt of long-winded verbal exposition, which is mythically unaesthetic. Luke or Rey being complete nobodies and then finding out they're actually the offspring of great heroes is a metaphor for the hidden greatness that lies within everybody. We're all the offspring of great heroes, because that's our lineage as members of the human race. You also have heroes like Han Solo or Finn who are less mythically-infused expressions of that idea, but those characters wouldn't work without characters like Luke Skywalker and Rey to complement them. Again, not everyone has to be Han Solo. Cnut the Great fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Oct 14, 2016 |

GORDON posted:I just watched the second R1 trailer once and now I am getting the vibe that the rebel girl is Tarkin's daughter. Wait, you saw the trailer where Mads Mikkelsen's character tells little Jyn that he's doing what he's doing to protect her, and then the Empire comes to visit him, and you concluded that she's Tarkin's daughter?

I only watched it once, but here's what I remember: - WHEN DID YOU LAST SEE YOUR FATHER? Then we see Tarkin looking stern. - "We are protecting you..." why would she need protecting from Tarkin? But whatever. I'm notoriously bad at paying attention.

The dude in white ins't Tarkin? I assumed they recast him and he was in it a lot. I should have read the novelization of the trailer, then I would know all the names like everyone else.

You think it is strange that a person would think that Tarkin, who has been shown in the TV shows as being part of the construction and control of the Death Star, might have a large role in a movie about the construction of the Death Star? This seems like a leap?

Everyone knows character names because they've been pretty broadly publicized; there was a movie magazine that gave essentially a run down of the cast and the names of their characters, there's been a couple major conventions, merchandise is on shelves with character names all over it, almost every article I've read refers to both character and actor names.

 Serious question: if Disney partnered with Netflix or HBO and put out a Star Wars prestigious drama what would you want it based on? I'm thinking Shmi's early years (interactions with local characters).
