Star Wars: Episode IX - THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

[TaliBane]

I have never heard of Atom tickets. Also this:

https://deadline.com/2018/05/solo-a-star-wars-story-advance-ticket-sales-records-1202383121/amp/

Yeah, based on that and tracking Deadline predicted that Solo would open to over $170m. It opened around half of that. TROS is in no danger of going that way, but shows you how careful you have to be with these advance sales stats, and yeah, especially with a company like Atom.

I wonder if JJ will end this like he did LOST -- with it all being a dream Rey is having when she suddenly wakes up in the sand wearing that rebel flight helmet at the foot of the fallen walker... some little raider thief trying to pull off her shoe.

That would actually be a very satisfying end to all of this.

In the fact that it negates all that has happened?

Yes

Better yet, a young CGI Luke wakes up on Tattooine having dreamed everything, then heads out to the South Ridge to repair the units there. Roll credits...

After credits scene: A Jawa sandcrawler cruises past the habitat on Uncle Owen's moisture farm, never stopping.

No apparently Palps is tied up VERY tightly at the end of TROS - he definitely won't escape again.

You can see Rey and Rose are keeping a close eye on him though. Poe is all arrogance, just smirking at Finn and BB-8.

the most shocking part was that once completely unmasked Palpatine was revealed to be Rey's masculine, uncaring, environmentally unfriendly father.

I can't keep track of all the various alleged "leaked plots" for this thing, but I've read all of them.

I wonder which ones are "confirmed" now that there's more footage.

I seem to recall one about 3PO having the info on the magic mystery device somewhere in his memory banks, but it turns him aggressive, and that seems to line up with what was shown.

 

[ironwez20]

3PO pretending that he's sentimental about these nobodies he's interacted with for 30 seconds of screen time was perhaps the most laughable thing for me.

It just reeked of a sitcom from the 80s that had an episode solely devoted to unknown characters that are about to be on a spin-off show.

"Oh look kids, it's our new friend Poochie! What's he up to?"

I can't imagine being an adult and actually caring one way or another about any of these lifeless, soulless characters. I know a lot of you are gonna see this out of a sense of obligation or curiosity, or maybe even an attempt to recapture those feelings from 1983 or even 2005....but I can't imagine many of you actually LIKE or CARE about characters like Rose, Poe, Finn, or even the lamest leading woman in history, the unstoppable Rey.

I know I'm projecting my apathy on to others, but it's something I quite simply can't understand.

I could understand even with Endgame, how well fleshed out those characters were and how real they felt, that people were quite attached to them emotionally. That makes sense to me. This....does not.

Other than the spaceships and blasters and music, there's simply nothing there. I think anyone being honest with themselves would see that, but again...I'm projecting.

I suppose to the desire to snivel and snot on yourself is stronger than the desire to see movies with characters you actually like and care about.

That still doesn't fix the PT.

It would have to be Padawan Obi-Wan getting nudged awake by Qui-Gon before they head into their trade dispute meeting.

I want disney to do that just to see fanboys rage

When Palpatine is finally unmasked, it's revealed he was once just a non-binary librarian that fell victim to the patriarchy.

I'm sure this matters to someone, somewhere.

Or maybe just LFL...

This is pretty kicka$$..screams Sith with the Spikes

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

This is pretty kicka$$..screams Sith with the Spikes

Or LOTR.

 

[guyver1]

Or LOTR.

I can live with that..screams Evil

 

[screamingmetal]

The more I see of this, the more apparent how badly they're screwing the conclusion of the original trilogy. That F'n no-talent JJ Abrams just keeps getting franchises to destroy.

 

[guyver1]

Or LOTR.

I can live with that..screams Evil

Anybody worried the Knights will get TLJ royal guard treatment.

One big scene and that’s it

Okay so the final poster doesn't use the HT figure. Good. Still kind of a mess though.

Is that supposed to be a cross between a horse and a tautaun ...how original

 

[ironwez20]

Wow no rose on the poster? fail!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Jannah on her space horse is an absolute MUST HAVE 1/6th figure.... for someone.

 

[Khev]

Wow no rose on the poster? fail!

She's next to 3PO.

 

[screamingmetal]

It looks like the poster predicts the importance of a character in the movie based on their head size.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I love that they created this little cone-head droid for the "cute factor" but have been too embarrassed to promote it yet.
