    Boba survived the sarlacc in legends as well, and sounds like they’re going to bring in saga film characters in S2

    They should have split 9 into two films:

    Release IX summer 2020
    Episode X spring 2021

    1. Wouldn't have fixed shitty story decisions, just let them breathe more.
    2. Completely screws up the trilogy of trilogies, something they never would have considered.

    if you think they're going to do that after spending the past 4 years talking about how this the the third trilogy to complete the Skywalker saga only to openly display their incompetence by making this "trilogy" 4 films I don't know what to tell you.

    Dude they brought back Palpatine. I think all bets are off after making a move like that.

    and they crammed that into one movie to stick to the trilogy format.

    There's no chance they would ever fuck with the episodic symmetry of 3 trilogies

    Or you know, they could have put together a cohesive plan/story that 7, 8 and 9 would have all followed.

    Then hired the directors to execute the larger plan while also mixing in their own ideas/stories to make them fun and original.

    But that was obviously not smart, and instead they thought it best to cycle through multiple stories, writers, directors and ideas. They know better than us.

    As much as I’d like to think I make the rules, I don’t. It’s obviously hypothetical. It would have been better to split them - trilogy or not.

    It’s a rather sad disaster, but I think with the new TV content they have coming out it will be easy to forget.

    It would have been better to plan it all out and if they wanted to used Palpy actually set it up and have a plan instead of a last second panic change, but they didn't.

    I'm not opposed to them breaking the trilogy format (kinda wish they would), but there was no way they were doing that with IX.

    Now seeing all of them, I think episode 9 would have been better with good vs Kylo.

    You know the villain is going to die, which is why I didn’t really like palpatine, they could have created a rooster-looking villain who flies and it wouldn’t have mattered since we know it will die; heroes will prevail.

    Instead, I would have liked to have seen Rey and Ben flip. Rey not totally going to the dark side, but mostly, feeling no purpose, scavenger parents who abandoned her — more convoluted than that. Ben returning to the light, traveling to Ach-To, going through rummage to find Luke’s (green) lightsaber, a sense of resolve or something. Idk, this is heavily paraphrased, but you get a final scene with a parallel of each Rey and Ben in their new lives, both simultaneously walking into the frame, not necessarily knowing the future, but that the first order is no more, Rey is torn between the dark and light, etc.

    I hate you for sharing this and hope that every movie you go to see from here on out is in that terrible 4DX format and the button to turn off the water sprayer doesn't work.

    I know it's mean but I got dragged to see this movie in one of those theaters and it was annoying.

    And yes in a theater with only 10 people in it, every seat still moved, etc. Which was really pointless and seemed like it wasted money to do.

    But it would've been fun to read the reaction to a split into episode IX part I and episode IX part II.

    Heck they could've even made the "saturday night live end of episode awkward standing around" celebration better too.

    I actually thought that was where they were headed after Snoopey was killed in VIII and Kylo was the only real threat left on the table. I'm fine with Palpatine returning but your idea would have worked too.

    This kid's got a great take on the Jedi being dicks in the prequels.



    Nothing he says is particularly unheard of, but he does a good job stating his points and tying it in with how The Last Jedi uses it and ties the whole saga together as a result.

    Yeah he admitted he got paid to read star wars comics and books as part of his two and a half years working day and night.

    And why was emperor palpatine's kid such as colossal fuckup that they couldn't even work in the family business and they had to go be a junk trader and be such a loser that palpatine wanted nothing to do with them but wanted their kid instead?

    In the middle of the second movie of my trilogy the villain will die due to an exploding, malfunctioning lightsaber and then the final movie and a half will be the heroes playing foursquare and smoking weed.

    The exasperating thing about that Terrio interview is that you can see the logic behind some of the decisions, especially the Rey parentage reveal. But all of the themes he said were worth exploring weren’t actually explored in the movie.

    for example, the idea that Luke and Leia knew about who she was—the granddaughter of their greatest enemy—but trained her anyway because she was their only hope. That’s cool, that could work. But because they’re trying to work it into the last film, and Carrie Fisher is dead, and it requires retconning, and the script spends no time on it in a thoughtful way, it just doesn’t work. Instead they just go “fuck it let’s do it anyway” rather than backing up completely and rethinking the whole thing.

    If there are any remaining TLJ haters, I challenge them to watch this 100% unedited clip from the movie and say they still have any criticisms.

    Just saw TROS a second time. Liked it less on second viewing. The editing really became more jarring. The Williams score and timing is a MAJOR saving grace.

    That interview is fine and at least sheds light on some of the criticisms and motivations behind why they did some of the things they did. The problem is it shouldn't take an interview with the writers to explain critical stuff because the film ultimately didn't explain it well enough.

    I don't think they were taking a dump on TLJ in this movie. I do think it's clear they had different visions for how the saga would play out, and it's on the studio, ultimately, for the reasons things get changed in that cross fire when they hire different people to tell these stories. Disney and Lucas Film have been terrible with that in their last 5 movies with the ways they've gone through directors and writers and deserve more blame for that than JJ and his team for this, IMO.
