Would anyone have believed TLJ spoilers even if they were totally accurate?

There was one person who accurately leaked the pre-casino-rewrite storyboard, and no, they were not believed

TFA yes, TLJ no.

There were plenty of TLJ leaks and guesswork, some of it wildly inaccurate (Rey fights a sea monster!), some of it not. By and large, the leaks got the structure correct, but failed to get the big surprises of Snoke and Luke dying.

"Suuuure they just kill off Snoke, and don't have a big bad to replace him, uh-huh. And I bet Leia's got force powers too?" :smug:

Maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?



Okay there's a lot not to like about TLJ but is Leia having Force abilities so hard to swallow? They literally set it up 36 years ago? :shrug:

"These leaks are dumb as hell, why would Leia get blasted into space if she just flies right back into the ship and is fine? Also come on if they were going to reveal Leia can actually use her force powers, wouldn't they come up with a better way then that? Obviously fake."

Yes but Leia is more of a force-sensitive or force-attuned empath than a Power User / Force Knight. Her points are in charisma, persuasion, empathy and intelligence. At most she should be able to nudge a pencil!

The only way to get huge fast is to insult a passing witch and hope she curses you with Beast-strength.


I’m the slave kid that is forced to clean alien horse stables all day for a sleazy war profiteering racetrack.

One day, I realized I had the force and I used it to make my broom leap into my hand.

The next day I force choked the stable master to death

Sheev is Poe's father.
Poe and Rey are siblings.
Poe can use the force.
Lando's co-pilot is a gungan.
Luke Skywalker force ghosts into Reys body and superimposes his face on her body. Sheev does the same but with Kylo.

I think it's mostly just how it was introduced -- with her dying, then force gliding through space in a way that looked incredibly stupid.

Also that the person playing the character was a 60 year old, with a 40 year long drug habit that died right after filming was finished, did not help make it look less goofy.

Personally I also find it a bit lame how much the force is expanded on and everyone is force sensitive, but at least Leia is the least objectionable of characters to have force powers considering her relatives :shrug:

edit: :doh: yeah but alec guinness was also a decrepit old man close to death in an uncaring world when we saw him as a jedi

Go home and be a family man!
Leia presumably learning more about the force from her brother and even being able to use some of the powers we’ve seen Jedi wield isn’t a big stretch.

Going from Zero to Superman In Space is retarded as poo poo. Hell even luke skywalker himself going Superman in space would be retarded as poo poo.

...and then, when Sheev-Kylo is about to finish off Luke-Rey, Kylo overpowers Sheev and throws himself into a bottomless well of some sort, redeeming himself and killing Pal once for all... Or does he?

EPISODE IX THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

The dead speak! The galaxy has heard a mysterious broadcast, a threat of REVENGE in the sinister voice of the late EMPEROR PALPATINE.

GENERAL LEIA ORGANA dispatches secret agents to gather intelligence, while REY, the last hope of the Jedi, trains for battle against the diabolical FIRST ORDER.

Meanwhile, Supreme Leader KYLO REN rages in search of the phantom Emperor, determined to destroy any threat to his power....

Their ideas was, "crudely ape the original trilogy". To give Rian credit. . . he might have made an absolutely poo poo movie, but at least it hopped the rails for a little bit and was its own thing.

Some nerd a long time ago said on this very forum said that dooku should have instead been qui gon jinn (who didn’t die last movie). Like he grew more and more frustrated with the Jedi until becoming a Sith and leader of this rebel movement. Ya know, an emotional connection to the villain for our two leads.

It actually sounds like it wouldn’t suck!

when TFA came out and exploded I assumed a prequel reboot was inevitable, and thought it'd be interesting to retell Vader's fall from grace as the result of a war veteran sacrificing his body and soul for the jedi order, getting tired of their isolation and hypocrisy, then being radicalized by the emperor to turn on his countrymen.

basically the same story only more grounded, and minus lucas' bizarre ideas on romance and sandpeople rape
