For a hundred thousand years, generations of Jedi Bendu knights learned the ways of the mysterious FORCE OF OTHERS, and acted as the guardians of peace and justice in the REPUBLIC.

He'll be a force ghost tied to the Death Star core where he kerploded. Or just a dumb holocron and Rey learns she's his daughter or something

Something vaguely Jedi Knight-ish wouldn't be a bad way forward.

Glenn Quebec posted:3 is really bad. You think it's going to be a badass defense of the earth but, no, you have to gather your allies .... Again... The idea that the weapon you're building is, like, an iterative last gasp of countless prior cycles is pretty sweet as well and it just becomes another control method thanks to StarBrat there.

TheIncredulousHulk posted:I've posted this before but the Luke/Kylo history could have totally worked if it had been framed as Luke being poorly suited to deal with responsibility and authority in particular and it would have dovetailed nicely with his reluctance to train Rey. Which, really, was fine in that overstuffed film.

Oh god. With Palpatine being so prominent in the advertising, I realized that Abrams totally was going to have it be that Snoke was Palps somehow until TLJ killed it

It's more like the inverse. The earlier prequel flicks are more daring, the later get more fanservicey, to the point that they end with a recreation of Luke's iconic step into his hero quest.

I would legit like hearing more about how Lucas's pursuit of pushing the digital envelope resulted in severely limited films, actually.

Gene had his wife AND was banging Majel Barrett and Nichelle Nichols during ToS. He went so far as to tell his loving side-pieces that he wanted an open relationship

Dilkington posted:But digital in 1999 looked bad. Not to put too fine a point on things, but digital did not create pleasing images It's really remarkable how much the concept of Film has changed within our lives. The movies we watch are so immaculate. You miss out on the small imperfections of film and that's kind of weird that you just forget that there used to be grain or splices or reel change markers or jitter... As for Lucas, the oft-repeated story is that he was so miserable with the on location shooting in Tunisia that he wanted more control over all the externalities, while also finding ways to get his films closer to the ideas he saw (reducing the limitations of conventional practical effects). So he gravitated towards CGI and digital sets.

Props for him getting a film made about black airmen. Though maybe he should have just financed it and found a black up and coming director to helm it....

I'm gonna die if it turns out Sheev lied to Anakin and there was no Darth Plagueis and he really knocked up Shimi then Force Mind Erased her and Rey is a Force Clone except a girl for some reason that was a failsafe in case The Emperor was ever murked and she was on Jakuu because the Super Star Destroyer that had Project: ReEmperor crashed and she's really Rey Palpatine but then Anakin is related and she goes No! I am a SKYWALKER :cue music: Because after the Three Word Spoiler a few pages back I'm trying to figure just how dumb this can go.

appropriatemetaphor posted:also did they ever explain who the knights of ren are? like kylo's jedi friends? who he just up and kills? Basically there was a darkside user that followed the Ren (name for his lighsaber / maybe a sith word) and his adherents served as his knights. Ben defeats him and takes the group over. Then he chooses Kylo as his name (apparently discarding bits from sKYwalker/soLO) to show how badass he is.

I remember being hyped for TFA, being sleep deprived as I shuffled into a 1am showing, and marking out when Kylo Vader used the force to stop a blaster bolt in mid air. Why couldn't anything (other than the HOLDO MANEUVER) be as good?
