HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

I cant really be mad at those spoilers if they turn out to be true. they seem like they will give us some epic star warsing and nothing there is lamer than any of the stupid plot points from the prequels (most of them).

It just feels like a dead end, even moreso than TLJ leaves things at a dead end even. Time travel, as bad as it would have been, would have at least allowed them to try to pull a new angle out of left field

That plot summary sound a lot better than "The First Order slowly flies behind the Resistance until the Resistance runs out of gas."

It's going to be a mess regardless, because as you say, there was not a coherent vision for these three movies

There wasn't one for the original trilogy, either.

David Tennant didn't exactly set the world on fire when he left Doctor Who to try to make it in Hollywood, either.

Yeah the trilogy where the villain betrayed and murdered the hero's father and tongues the heroine only for the father to get retconned in the second and a sister in the third absolutely meshes.

Those spoilers are doing a better job at hyping me about this train wreck than any trailer has.

I mean, I think that all sounds pretty fun and entertaining, I can't wait to watch Matt Smith chew some scenery, the Rey and Kylo fight going through different locales sounds interesting, and it's a hell of a lot better than loving time travel (lol at people pretending that would be better and wouldn't relentlessly make fun of if it actually happened).

I'm more hyped now than before I read it.

The only thing I'm hesitant on is Palpatine remaking the Death Star II? Like, using Force Powers to reconstruct it? That sounds...weird. Has he always been able to do construction? That would have made making it in the first place a little easier, one would think.

It's actually incredible that JJ structured his entire career in order to eventually land Star Wars, and when he got it, he barely had a single original or coherent idea

JJ's the dog who caught the car. That said, being a basically hollow instrument to apply gloss to whatever the studio wanted was a precondition for getting the job in the first place in the pre- and post- rian eras

If Palpatine possesses Matt Smith, I hope we get to hear Ian's voice coming out of him (even though that's not how possession works since you didn't bring your vocal cords with you)

Because MacDiarmid's ham and Smith's flailing about would be amazing

If that's true, then drat Sheev REALLY believes in this Death Star plan. He's like a sports coach whose game plan won him one game at team 1 then totally failed after that once opposition coaches figured it out. But he gets picked up by 2 more teams and tries to implement the exact same game plan with both of them while constantly getting hammered.

Why is it that Palpatine seems genuinely badass in ROTJ as he drips with pride and malice, just chewing the scenery, but post-scarring ROTS Palpatine just seems cheesy, like the actor is clearly hamming it up?

I think there's a non-zero chance that after the reception of TLJ and Solo, the two disney films without death stars, it was concluded that all star wars must have death stars going forward

Having part of the story take place in a live-action version of the World between Worlds from Rebels would've been cool and good :colbert:

I wonder how much of this was from Lucas being mildly butthurt that people didn't like Jar Jar.

Including anything from Rebels would be cool and good. Rebels is a show that stumbled a bit coming out of the gate, but really got good once it found its footing.
