Rey should just have sex will Palpatine, giving the old man a heart attack.

I feel like the above is the reverse shot of the below in some twisted porno...



 
In the new canon Vader's cybernetics (and Grievous' for that matter) were designed by Cylo, a scientist who achieved immortality by transferring his consciousness to a series of clones (until Vader killed them all) - rather like in Dark Empire.

So if it transpires that Palpatine hasn't achieved immortality - why not?

It?s really quite simple if you?re a true Star Wars fan you?re gonna go see it first show opening night or at the very least opening weekend.

I even read an opinion piece of someone claiming that they are skipping this movie and that if Disney was serious about respecting the SW fans and GL all they had to do was look at the Phantom Menace on how to properly create new SW content that fans can respect.

Really.

Anyways admit it Cynical-Gar you already got tickets for opening weekend c?mon now man up like Khev did and admit it that you?re going lol

Not really. Why would a star wars fan waste money on something he or she doesn?t like. Most are gonna wait for reviews. Nobody has the energy to see this opening night .
 
I’ll wait on some word of mouth.
It’s weird to have no desire to hunt new SW figures or be excited for rumors etc. i mostly come here for the chuckles. I had a little hope that the full trailer would have some “oh sheet!” Moments but the lazy nostalgia farming has left me colder than ever.
 
For me, this trilogy is the Ben Solo/Kylo Ren trilogy. Any other subplots are little more than noise and filler. Everything revolves around him, and Rey is ultimately nothing more than the device to help redeem him and then preserve the Skywalker legacy thereafter. Seeing it play out (and conclude) is the best draw because good character drama is what's most compelling in real cinema (I'm not trying to mimic/channel Scorsese with that). Kylo has increasingly become the best-written and most-nuanced character in the ST. His inner conflict evokes what Anakin's PT character *should* have conveyed (but didn't, imo).

Watching the execution of Kylo's arc coming to an end is what I'll be going to see (though JJ wouldn't be my first choice to write it). Kylo's redemption being a foregone conclusion for most is no different than knowing Anakin's turn in the PT, or even presuming Vader's after ESB. And Ben Solo is the one connected to virtually every major character from the OT. Han and Leia's son; Luke's nephew and student; Anakin's grandson; Palpatine's last hope . . . it all comes down to this one last third-generation character to decide the ultimate legacy of the Skywalkers and their fight with/against Palpatine. Then he needs to die.

Rey is basically just a transition point between Skywalker bloodline and Skywalker legacy. Her relevance is more about the future than the present (which is why I think she'll eventually be brought back). But she wouldn't even matter at all right now if not for Ben/Kylo ("darkness rises, and light to meet it"). Everything she is has a direct connection to Kylo. Every major pivot for her (TFA's "Force vision" and end duel; TLJ's Luke/Ahch-To interactions and throne room drama) are all only possible because Ben Solo turned into Kylo Ren, and needs to be turned back.

The Skywalker Saga can't end until any and all possible descendants of Anakin cease to be. Ben is the last one (after Leia has officially passed in canon). No more Skywalkers for Palpatine to try to seduce. Game over. "Chosen One" lineage ended; prophecy finished; saga concluded. That's the finality I'm looking for. But what Ben/Kylo does before he dies, and maybe even immediately after, is what I'll be most intrigued to watch play out in TROS. Will it have some nobility and depth to it, or will it just be cheesy and forced?

Agreed on Kylo being the most interesting character in the ST by a mile, but I think he was severely hampered by having to be overshadowed by both Rey and Snoke. As the OT proved, it's always wise to have your main antagonist not be the biggest baddie: Vader was Palpatine's lackey, but he was the focus of the action.

Kylo being overshadowed by Rey was a given. The main hero has always gotten the bulk of screen time in the "Episode" movies. But even so, Rey's journey has just as much to do with Kylo as it does with finding herself. She's the "yin" to Kylo's "yang" (no euphemism meant there).

As for Snoke, there's no way he has overshadowed Kylo. Maybe in the minds of some fans who wanted Snoke to be something more than he was ever meant to be; but not in reality. In TLJ, even before Kylo split him in half, Snoke had the classic "Emperor's Theme" playing in the background; it wasn't even his own theme (the one from TFA). :lol I don't think Snoke was ever meant to be more than a red herring, and a means to an end, in the big picture.

The ST is Kylo's story (for me, anyway). Han and Leia presumably split because of Kylo. Han died because of him. Luke went into exile because of him. Luke died because of him. Rey came into the story because of him. The question for me now is: was it Palpatine who was actually responsible for Kylo (through Snoke) all along?

The first two movies had a lot to do with Kylo's negative effect on the OT characters, and tearing down what they had built. Hopefully, the third movie will be about why (but probably not :lol), and then how he chooses to resolve all of what has come to pass.
 
She's gone now - got "moved on", and is only a "consultant" now.

But there's another just like her in her place. Body Snatchers all. Disney is full of these 'story consultants'. I've been there, I've seen them. They're coming for all of us. For all of our treasured franchises. You're next!

I love how she placed obvious SW items into the frame in an office otherwise devoid of anything SW, let alone creative.
 
She (whoever had the gall to pose for that picture) is the perfect example of why most movies suck. That's the new "development girl". She exemplifies hiring for other reasons than talent. That room should be cluttered with creative inspiring objects and posted with story ideas and storyboards, not look like a kitchen from the food network. Have you ever seen the mess that Stephen King works in? Its awesome.

That photo makes me quite mad... because there are so many creative and talented people who would kill in that position, and yet Disney hires... otherwise.

Have you seen Stallone's work office? It's full of statues, paintings, toys, and merchandise...of himself. :lol
