Current Events > The Rey Skywalker movie is still happening.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I hope it's the wokest movie ever.
I hope Rey crushes armies with the sheer power of her greatness.
I hope every male in the movie is weak, stupid, pathetic, etc.
I hope she still refuses to change clothes.
In fact, her butt flap needs to be bigger. In 1 shot I could almost see the shape of female ass. That's a big no no because nothing is worse the the male gaze.

I was ambivalent about the movie until I heard rumors that it's set 15 years after Episode IX, it's going to be very small-scale, and it will deal with her training the next generation of Jedi and not really knowing what to do.

that sounds like a really cool concept

So she's gonna do what Luke had no good reason to fail at.

Has Daisy Ridley done anything noteworthy other than star wars?

She played a corpse on one of those crime drama tv shows.

Thank you. I've never seen a Fast and Furious movie, I don't plan to see one, but I don't go into a thread about the franchise announcing I won't be going

In fairness, that is a different situation to being previously invested in something.

i think she did a few indie movies that nobody watched

Yeah if anything that'd just highlight how pointless the sequels were. The status quo is just what it was post-RotJ

She is Rey Palpatine, she is not a Skywalker by blood, marriage, nor an honorary one. Stealing the name however does her grandpa proud, Sheev would aprrove.

Why is she a Skywalker again? I should know this, I saw the movie. Did she become an honorary Skywalker or something?

She decided she didnt want her last name to be Palpatine, and since all the skywalkers are dead, she carries on the name.

Or some bullshit like that anyway. That movie sucked.

We get it already, you have a weird hate boner for Rey. Move on.

I'll pass. I skipped out on Rise of Skywalker, didn't finish Andor, was disappointed in Boba, skipped Obi-wan, was severely disappointed in Ashoka, and while I still liked Mandalorian, there was definitely a huge drop in quality in season 3. I think Disney should wait a decade before releasing another Star Wars, as its suffered both fatigue and bad decisions.

You know people said the exact same thing about the franchise under Lucas, right?

I outgrew it years ago, nostalgia kept me mildly interested, and The Last Jedi made me decide I had enough.

And you say that as someone who user name is Torgo!!

But ya, I am done with Star Wars at this point.

To be fair, RotJ, while having some great scenes, was where the rot started to set in.

And they were right to do so. Look how people crowded to see The Force Awakens. Besides, Lucas didn't mash a whole bunch of Star Wars shows and movies out year after year.

That was actually a pretty legit series until 6.

I mean, I like the 6 and beyond style too and all but for the first five or so installment, it was actually a better written series than you would have guessed.

Mando Season 1 might just be the best Star Wars thing IMO.

Season 2 was a marked drop in quality but still p good.

3 just shouldn't have existed at all and failed to even get pull the "but I'm glad it did anyway" out of me.

Replace TVshows with video games and novels. Same thing

*Palpatine

No. I haven't seen anything star wars related since episode 8 and I can't be bothered to watch something I know I wont like.

Unless you rush them out the door, which results in a buggy mess, video games takes years to make.

Kaihedgie posted...

People who claim they're "done with" and "outgrown" a series are lyin' through their teeth. It never feels anything more than a call for attention

If you're actually "done" with something, don't keep giving it your undivided attention and thoughts about it any time it's brought up. Just ignore it and move on.

I grew up with Harry Potter and was a massive fan of it as a child. Hell, it even continued into my teenage and early adult years.

I still have an affection for the original series that will never dim, but all the content released in the last decade has soured me on the franchise and I don't see myself consuming any new content from it.

However, I don't feel the need to barge into every thread or forum about Harry Potter and tell everyone how much I don't care about the franchise anymore.

Will watch on D+ if the price reasonable.
Hate that they keep raising the subscription price

It's the whole "girls are better than boys." It's more than marketing equality because it's worse to push the guys out of the way.

I will be watching it yes. Shes a pretty good character

Lol, names aren't bound by any of those things in star wars.

She doesn't have to be blood. Luke himself understood this.

Shes a Skywalker, they adopted her into their family.

I cannot be bothered with anything Star Wars anymore. The vast majority of the films are bad. One of them is genuinely one of the worst films Ive ever seen. They had something good going with the Mandalorian but screwed it up. Its just an IP that doesnt deserve the benefit of the doubt anymore.

It had the benefit of the doubt when they released "i dont like sand" and 3 ewok films but mandalofian s3 was too much for you?

Maybe yall are just old and it took this long for some of you to realize this is and always has been a kids franchise.

But thats ok. TFA did 2 billion dollars, a large proton of that was kids. By the time this movie comes out those kids will be mostly adults. If you were 9 when TFA came out you'll be 19 next year.

Thing is that even with found family, there was basically no real bond. She's basically taking the name of a man who she kept badgering and then ditched, and her boss (who we barely saw interact with her)

Theres more bond than Han Solo had with luke when he risked his life to save him.

Theres more bond than there was between Obi Wan and Anakin until clone wars cartoon did the plot of the prequels better than the movies.

Rey trained under Leia for a year. Both she and luke basicsllg picked her up off the street and took her in, teaching her in place of Ben who squandered them. Leia, herself growing up under adopted parents and taking their name, would've known what was involved. She saved leias life, saved Ben's life, helped luke correct his mistake. What more did you need to see, them sign papers?

Rey seemed to have a stronger bond with Han and Leia than Luke, so Rey Solo would make more sense. It also thematically fits better with how Han apparently gave himself that same name.

Leia was adopted as an infant, thats not remotely comparable to having a teacher for 1 year.

She did bond with Han, but they never got to see that bond through. Luke snd Leia completed reys journey, and her journey mirrors theirs.

Because Luke was ORIGINALLY named that because of his traits(notice how his aunt and uncle don't share the name) Unsatisfied with grounded life, he found his purpose looking into the sky and venturing there. Leia did too, as did rey. That was the original idea behind the name, one of nominative determinism of sorts. Obviously ESB muddied this idea, and the prequels shattered it but its a nice reference to that.

No, but Leia and Luke both know well, as should the fans, that who you were born from has little bearing on who you are. They are both children of the greatest threat the galaxy ever faced, and rey was born as the legacy to that, and ben chose that over his lineage. Rey on the other hand, in his steady chose the Skywalker over her lineage. There are many flaws with TROS but this aspect isn't one of them. Thematically it works.

I'd bet money the only reason they went with Skywalker was because The Rise of Solo would have spoiled a certain scene involving what couldn't have possibly been a Force ghost but evidently was anyway.

Well that and it would have given Kylo the shaft, lol. Imagine if they literally named it The Rise of Solo and he freaking dies lmao.

What, you mean that "The Force is female" thing? You mean that one Nike's commercial so many grifters took as the actual official agenda and marketing plot of the sequel trilogy itself rather than just to sell women's shoes?

No, that wasn't a force ghost. Or was it? i think that scene is up to interpretation, but I also think that scene is phenomenal and kinds redeems the movie.

The title is not just referring to Rey. None of the sequel movies refer to just one person. The force awakens doesn't refer to JUST Rey. The force also awakens in others.

The last jedi doesn't refer to just Luke, or just rey. They are both the last jedi in different ways.

The rise of Skywalker refers to several things. Rey, luke , and bensredemption .

Cant fucking wait tbh

There were a couple of scenes in 9 that were cool, but most of them ended up going nowhere, or else exactly the wrong direction.

Wait, didnt we already have three big budget movies with Rey as the main character?

Is this a different character?

I've seen half a dozen Star Wars movies. I think that's enough for one lifetime.

Toonstrack posted...

No, but Leia and Luke both know well, as should the fans, that who you were born from has little bearing on who you are.

The morality of your parents has little bearing on your morality, but the main series makes who your parents are the defining attribute in your potential with regards to the force. She's a powerful force user solely because of her birth lineage.

That's true. I'd be happy with Skywalker becoming a title. In the new order, any Jedi Master is called a Skywalker. That would be a fitting tribute.

I'll be watching. Even tho I find Rey boring af

I voted no, but regrettably I probably still will watch it eventually

Haven't watched anything Star Wars related since RoS and the premise of this just feels especially tired considering the exact same premise already happened and got dismantled just so they could do it again. >_>

Somebody @ me when we get a Rose Tyco workplace comedy <_<

Apparently the Rogue Squadron or whatever movie might be back in the hopper?

So that's it, huh? We're some kinda Skywalker Squad?

Nailed it

Probably not in theaters, but there aren't many movies I'd go to a movie theater for these days. Disney+ is one of those streaming services where I'll subscribe for a month or two to watch something specific, and binge a bunch of other stuff while I'm at it, I think new Star Wars movies probably fall into the latter category.

There's no reason not to go all-in on Rey.

They underestimated how much characters like Luke and Han meant to the series. They're stuck with what they're stuck with, so they may as well try and make the best of it. If Rey can be the star of four or five films, she can out-movie Luke if not best him as a protagonist.

It's just a pity that Jyn Erso was the one-off and Rey was the go-to. We could have had a strong, flawed, relatable, likable protagonist who earned her victories like a good protagonist should. Instead, we get some cardboard cutout who is just gifted at everything.

It's not Daisy Ridley's fault. She can only work within the perimeters of what she's given to work with. But Disney really shat the bed. It's like whitewashing the Mona Lisa, then breaking out a pack of crayons to draw in her replacement.
