Nah, she's Qui-Gon. She even has his hairdo now...

Looks like she?s back to TFA flavor. I think she was just Qui-curious.

Especially when you know it wasn't intended to be this way, but at this point they are just desperate for something that makes a bit of sense.

Agreed. You get the sense that they’re just sort of making it up as they go along.

They are just like Lucas did.

Sure the execution is different but Lucas winged it just the same as Disney.

Lucas has his own version of Snoke and Palpatine resurrection

EW says it's real.

That means the film cut 15 minutes from the length originally given to theaters. Maybe they watched my video where I said when you finish a SW film then you need to immediately watch it and cut out the 10 stupidest minutes before actually showing it in theaters, lol.

Interesting that of the 10 released SW films the five shortest films (OT/RO/Solo) are also the best.

TLJ and AOTC are the longest...

This is wrong thread but would love to know what folks' top 10 stupidest SW moment are.

I probably just throw gasoline on a fire, but hey, it's the holidays (in the U.S. anyway)

So - hmm - haven't kept up but what would my stupidest TROS moments be...keeping in mind am mild SW fan except for the Mandelorian now but:

1) Returning dead like Palpatine which if true already screams unoriginal pandering. (Think that is already true tho)
2) Kylo dying
3) No Knights of Ren in a half-way decent scene - like I need more than the Phasma treatment of some kind.
4) Riding horses to battle - *whoops*
5) Wasting a lot of time trying to backtrack and train Rey, 'coz the cat is out of bag.
6) Rey going to the Dark Side and some fanfic *&^% where Kylo sacrifices himself to bring her to back to the light 'coz he feels so bad about it (even tho he tried to blow her up before, but that's OK 'coz he's just CONFUSED and never mind killing his Dad)
7) Kylo taking his shirt off for no real reason; this isn't Twilight where it's in the male cast contracts
8) Lining up every Force ghost that ever was, 'coz Rey is like, special that way, until it looks like Harry Potter with his parents (coz he's special too)
9) Last minute addition of anything suggestive of Mandalorian series, screaming more pandering.
10) Any more time wasted on Rose and Finn (like, just have her tell him she's "not good enough" and "they both have to follow their own path" and "she will remember him, tho." Done. Like the Russos with Nat and Bruce, or Taika with the Warriors 3. They can even rip off LOTR and Rose gives Finn the necklace, 'coz he earned it.

*Bonus* Finn is now elevated to kick-*** pilot so the Poe bromance can continue with TWIN aerial maneuvers.

Hmm JJ's Esquire interview is actually kind of endearing. He basically says that even if TROS is a mixed bag at best that hopefully audiences can still love it for the parts they got right.

Sure that's not as exciting to hear as something like "this is so epic, test audiences were standing and cheering!" but at least he comes across as a guy who knows his limitations and isn't too proud to publicly lower expectations without shaming or blaming the fanbase.

JJ: hopefully audiences can still love it for the parts they got right.

What kind of salesman is that? Arnold should make him do 1,000 push-ups.

In one way or another I think Disney is trying to correct ship after TLJ.

KK being graciously removed
Favloni (less reliance on story group maybe)
Mandalorian
RJ bye bye
Igers book admitting Lucas relationship
Baby Yoda lol

Is it perfect of course not.

If it was we wouldn?t have horses on star destroyers.

Oh well one thing I know for certain i?ll be there first show.

One who has been reading our reactions to the trailers and leaks, lol.

Funny how Maz has yet to be mentioned in any of the leaks lol

There are still aspects of TROS that can win me over. I will have no outrage over Rey being the "other" since that wouldn't be retconning ESB it'd be retconning ROTJ which itself was a stupid retcon of ESB. I also won't be mad if she's the real Chosen One since that was a story element introduced in the PT and who the hell cares about honoring Jake Lloyd/Hayden Christensen's legacy, lol.

So we'll see.

Plus if The Mandalorian can make Super Battle Droid's cool then I'm sure the seeds of the FO can also be cool if handled by Favreau as well.

Then KK and RJ can just fade into obscurity.

At any rate, everybody knew about the Empire and its oppressive system, even in backwater Tatooine.

Yeah, my understanding is that there was an Imperial garrison already on Tatooine.

Possibly. And true, the Empire and Rebellion were well known, even if Luke said, "It all seems such a long way from here." Tatooine was still technically under Imperial control even if it wasn't a huge priority to the Empire. But in practical terms it was probably still "controlled by the Hutts".

Interesting that of the 10 released SW films the five shortest films (OT/RO/Solo) are also the best.

From your point of view

Sad, JJ has been beaten down to our level.

He should have cared more. He would have if he was in his 20's again.

Holy crap that Hayden-Jake line lulz

With SW alot depends on execution of a vision and man has the ST suffered greatly from myopia.

It has lacked scale, stakes and more importantly proper character progression.

No excuse for Holdo (who) being given an honorable death.

No excuse for the treatment of Ackbar.

No excuse for lame PT quality Canto.

No excuse for lame cringeworthy broom boy.

No excuse for Kylo being emasculated (unless of course you know what).

No excuse for a 2nd rate death star assault.

No excuse for zero Han memorial services.

No excuse for bland aesthetics.

But that doesn?t mean that IX HAS TO SUCK NO MATTER WHAT!

Yes it's clear that Favreau has been a lifelong fan very eager to explore the dark corners of this galaxy far, far away where Abrams has simply wanted to show his love by copying exactly what George did rather than tread new territory. He pretty much guaranteed that he'd never achieve true greatness that way but it can still end "respectably" when all is said and done if they don't go off the deep end and then they can let someone more capable take over from here.

The ebay auction ended twice with no bids even after the news got out.

Yeah Jannah's ride is now in slow-motion with Chariots of Fire music, lol.

And didn't her name used to be Hannah? Did that get changed?

Yeah, they wanted her to be screaming "Allu Akbar!" as she led the horse charge and it didn't work with someone named Hannah.

Looks like she?s back to TFA flavor. I think she was just Qui-curious.

"THEY GENDER-TRANSITION NOW?!"
