I just find it funny that someone posted an entire essay about an Aztec-looking set at Pinewood they thought was for Episode 9 reshoots but the next day they found out it was for a Marvel movie instead.

A designer for Star Wars Galaxies actually asked Lucasfilm if mon calamari women have breasts, to which they were told "no" because fish don't have them.

Here's my biggest problem with that information about the story, if it's actually true- what difference would it make if a resurrected Palpatine is running the galaxy instead of whoever is currently leading The First Order? They are both authoritarians.

I have to admit that I don't mind whatever batshit insane conclusion they come up with in Episode 9 as long as JJ does not contradict TLJ. That said,

Gonna lol if the series ends with Rey fixing the tortured young man who had a rape scene with her

...part of the reason I'm excited for Episode 9 is the sequel to Black Moon Rising, a barely-disguised published fanfic as featured in Jenny Nicholson's video.

Dark Rey is actually Rey's long-lost sister and she uses a double lightsaber (and Rey uses a staff) because their father was Darth Maul. We never saw what happened to his lower body. Just as his upper body was kept alive by rage, the rest of him was sustained by the horniness suppressed by being connected to his Dark-Side-fueled heart.

Daisy Ridley assures 'this Reylo thing' will be addressed in The Rise of Skywalker

quote:

The Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker star was asked about the ambiguous relationship between her heroic rebel and Adam Driver‘s villainous First Order leader. The two are not entirely enemies. They’re certainly not friends. They don’t seem to not be attracted to each other. There’s just a lot of kind-of-hard-to-pin down tension floating around that’s led to all sorts of speculation, debates and romantic fan art.

“It does not bother me, people writing theories,” Ridley said. “It’s really fun hearing them. Plus, because I know what’s sort of going to happen, I think it’ll be really interesting to see people’s reaction to [the final film]. Obviously, there’s this whole Reylo thing and some people are very passionate about it, some aren’t.”

Ridley hinted that the seemingly romantic connection isn’t left unaddressed by director J.J. Abrams in The Rise of Skywalker.

“J.J. does deal with [it],” she added. “It’s a very complex issue. People talk about toxic relationships and whatever it is. It’s no joke and I think it’s dealt with really well because it’s not skimmed over.”

It's weird though that a writer would have that kind of sway over the movie. That's the kind of thing you might see JK Rowling do, but a screenwriter would typically get told to deal with it, unless they held some kind of rights to the property.

Oh my God, my idea that the Empire should have multiple Star Destroyers with single reactor Death Star lasers (instead of just one big Death Star) is actually in the movie?

Also regarding the Dagger of Mortis, if it's actually the dagger in the movie it means Dave Filoni really do have more influence in the franchise and that is good.

If Kylo gets thrown into a pit and is never talked about again in the movie, that just means he will be the best character in a Disney+ animated series set after Episode 9.

I completely missed that the guy who wrote Batman vs Superman and Justice League is writing the script for Rise of Skywalker. Oh man.

This is definitely going to be a no-brain popcorn movie. I hope it's mostly ship battles, those are my favorite.

If it's anything like BvS, it definitely won't be a no-brain popcorn movie. In fact, one of the main complaints about BvS is that it wasn't that kind of movie. Justice League also went under heavy rewrites by Joss Whedon.

Chris Terrio was brought in to BvS because he was the writer for Ben Affleck's Oscar-winning Argo, and I think he joined TROS at the recommendation of Zack Snyder who is Abrams' friend.

My hot take is that Episode 9 will be “the best one” by default because it’s hard to imagine it being worse than the others.

Palpatine’s back, Terrio is a wildcard who could make it actually-good, and I appreciate the ridiculousness of making the entirety of Episode 8 into an optional sidequest. Of course I will absolutely not be paying to see it.

SMG, have you considered stealing a theater worker's uniform or crawling through a theatre's air vents or something?

Is that what Cloud City was mining? Gas for weapon ammo? No wonder it's important.

I think Farscape had a similar idea but in that case the gas was made using the roots of a plant. So farming it became a huge industry.
