Sign me fucking up. ...by using Snoke as an avatar? Sounds like a desperate attempt to remind people what they liked about the original trilogy. I would rather see where Rian Johnson would have taken things rather than having a thinly disguised rehash of Return of the Jedi complete with Lando Caldrissian from JJ Abrams. Geekdom is upset with the wrong director, because having the main hero character be a flawless "Mary Sue" made it more difficult than it should have been to take the main story arc anywhere interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Easy enough to google: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Sue If you make your main character too inexplicably powerful and good right from the start there's no suspense over whether she is going to get offed in a fight or fall to the dark side or whatever ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 A very dull trailer indeed.I'd even forgotten this was on the way, so scarred was I by Mary Poppins appearing in the last one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would still be better than the prequels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wreckage seems to be a bit of the dish's edge. I took it to be DS2 wreckage on another moon of Endor. The one in RotJ was referred to as the 'forest moon of Endor' so this could be an 'Oceanic (or other water-related term) moon of Endor'. Palpatine cloning himself could be what happened. Would be a nice wee nod to the Thrawn trilogy that included cloning. Interested to see a ship that looks very similar to the one shown leaving Jakku in TFA hinting at Rey's parents appearing in this film, either in the present or through a flashback. Don't recall many or any flashbacks other than that one of Rey watching her parents leave so more likely to be them appearing in the present, if they do at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forest moon definitely has oceans / water though... I read an interesting theory about Rey which goes back to TFA (and from a personal perspective, something i noted watching that in terms of her fighting style vs Kylo after he said 'the force' to her - which was highly reminiscent of another lightsabre-wielding character). I can't find the link right now but it was interesting none the less. Edited April 17, 2019 by cmontheloknow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54_and_counting Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Wouldnt surprise me if rey was kylo rens twin, in the now non canon expanded universe han and leia had twins and the female had to kill the male as he had turned to the dark side 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 On 12/04/2019 at 21:38, NotThePars said: I was a fan of how much Rian Johnson subverted virtually every Star Wars nerd's theories on where the trilogy was going. Out of curiosity, why did you consider that a good thing? The problem was he subverted all of the fans' expectations with something far worse than they were expecting. He did an absolutely terrible job of telling a story or writing plausible character interactions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
