Soon.

I'm skimming spoilers and seeing some amazing things (Snokes in vats? Palpatine emerging from near death in Return of the Jedi and having a kid? (Rey Palpatine))

Hope its all true.

It'll be funny if this manages to be a B- movie even with all the desperate unfucking from Last Jedi

Why wait for a SE of TLJ when there's still time to add that to RotS? Sheev trilogies forever

That was pretty intense, huh?

After reading through all the confirmed leaks, my biggest disappointment is not including Hayden Christensen as Force Ghost Anakin. Like, how are you gonna title the capstone film to the Skywalker Saga and not have him show up physically. That's a literal :wtf: for me. Otherwise, I'm pretty open to everything else tbh.

With KK saying that maybe trilogies aren't the way anymore, is that the closest we have to confirmation that Rian Johnson's trilogy is dead? A few months ago he said maybe it wasn't happening and now this.

Also, considering Kylo's hero worship of him being a huge theme in the past two movies it's insane to have any resolution there when Jedi can come back as ghosts and we know he can do a force ghost. At least put in a throwaway line about Anakin giving up his force ghost form.

I totally believed force Han would be a fake out because it made no sense. It shows what I know.

The thing that bums me out most about this is that Ridley, Boyega and Isaac are all stellar actors who I genuinely think have given great performances and were perfect casting for Star Wars sequels, only to have them not do anything particularly compelling with the characters. I really believe that Disney's mismanagement of the franchise completely squandered a ton of potential.

There's probably a small non-zero chance since Knives Out was well-received and is up for Golden Globes. If he went full Book of Henry it'd be a flat 0.

We will see precisely as much Star Wars as there is merchandising appetite for Star Wars. They may stop annualizing the movies but there is no way over Luke's cold dead body that Star Wars is stopping as a thing any time soon. Fallen Order being one of the best selling computer video games of two thousand nineteen ensures that by itself.

I mean when you make movies that are unnecessary sequels that exist primarily to sell toys and merchandise, you are going to, in all likelihood, end up with three movies that are the hundred million dollar live action equivalent of 80s toy commercial cartoons and talented actors are not going to be particularly well-utilized in such a setting. I think we were all worried this would happen back in 2015, and now, well, here we are.

edit: also I was hoping to come in here and get details on what precisely is in the movie before deciding if I want to see it this weekend, and somehow I do not think taking rumors, at face value, of a Lucas cut from a man calling himself doomcock and going on about, quote, "a soy soaked agenda" to destroy star wars is a very good idea

You'd think she would go back to Jakku and try to find her parent's grave at least but uh..... no we have to end the series on tatooine even though no remaining character has any attachment to it because reasons.

Disney split them up because they were afraid people would start asking why they weren't a couple and then they'd have to choose between Poe/Finn shippers and China.

I mean, I guess we're supposed to infer that Luke told her all about Tatooine, the place he really hated and couldn't wait to get away from (Did he even bother to bury his aunt and uncle's bodies?)

I don’t like woke corporate Disney cynical pandering because any good coming from their corporate maw rings false and they gracelessly shoehorn it in but a Finn/Poe relationship would have worked really well and seemed natural. It’s so Disney to make some half hearted stabs at wholeness and representation that just calls attention to how cynical it is and completely overlook, or even deliberately sabotage one huge area where they could have got their woke points and actually done a good job. It’s always going to attract a screeching gibberish of outrage from Chuds even if it’s just two frames. Their cowardice and stupidity are shameful.

Offtopic but speaking of this, why did soy, like this major staple food for significant parts of the world that is, commonly, a brick of protein, become an insulting thing? I mean I know it's because the kind of people that complain about "agendas" because people other than white dudes are in a movie are loving idiots but was there any line of reasoning there at all?
