CitizenVectron Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 So...Rey is a Skywalker? Or does it refer to Ben? The title is really dumb. And the Emperor? Jesus Christ JJ. And the death star ruins? Wtf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be an entertaining movie (just like TFA was), but really JJ... I am expecting total fan service at this point. Rey will be a Skywalker but made by the Emperor and the Emperor used Anakin's force sperm to make her and the Death Star ruins will be the final fight location and the Emperor's ghost will be there. Something bullshit like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 That opening scene looks awesome. I'm cool with Luke being a guiding force. I'm less enthused by what the title might mean or by the return of the emperor. I was kind of hoping there wouldn't be a villain "above" (for lack of a better word) Kylo. The voice over, the laugh, the title, and the shot of welding the helmet back together make it hard not to think that JJ is putting all his pieces back where he wanted them before Johnson came in and broke it. Still, the trailers for these movies have never been too straightforward. While JJ has never been great at endings, he did make an excellent Star Wars film last go around, and I think he had the most interesting setup for a film in the series history. I choose hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris- Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Given that a significant portion of Episode VII concerned who was in possession of Luke's lightsaber, there is a 100% chance Episode IX has to do with finding Palpatine's robes so that the owner can be a super powerful Force wizard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something bullshit like that. Don't forget that when Ben said Rey's parents were no one, he was telling the truth, from a certain point of view; thereby living up to his namesake.

Chris- Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 For what it's worth, the 'No one's ever really gone' with Palpatine's laugh could just reference the fact that Anakin was redeemed in the end, and the same could happen with Kylo. Meaning no fan service bullshit. That's not what it will ultimately mean, but a man can dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha. Rey: "You said my parents were no one!" Ben: "This is true, because you are a clone of my grandfather, Darth Vader!" Rey: "That's not true, that's impossible!" (winks at camera) Ben: "The ghost of the Emperor told me!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 The alternative to her being a Skywalker is that "Skywalker" becomes the new term for Jedi, or some BS like that. "I am a Skywalker, like my Skywalker before me." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legend Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 It's also a weird name because we've already seen multiple Skywalker's rise to highly prominent roles. Skywalker isn't the new hotness, it's the same oldness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prequel Trilogy was about the rise of the Sith (the Dark Side). The Original Trilogy was about the rebirth of the Jedi (the Light Side). The Sequel Trilogy is about the creation of the Skywalkers, neither Jedi nor Sith (the Balance between the two). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prequel Trilogy was about the rise of the Sith (the Dark Side). The Original Trilogy was about the rebirth of the Jedi (the Light Side). The Sequel Trilogy is about the creation of the Skywalkers (the Balance between the two). Well Anakin WAS the one who was supposed to bring "balance" to the force so if his progeny end up embracing both light and dark then technically, he would have done so... "From a certain point of view" EDIT: That is a dumb lazy name though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneticBlueprint Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I don't love the title. But it could be referring to the legend of Luke Skywalker that was pretty established in the previous film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which doesn't necessarily contradict our working theory that "Skywalker" becomes the description of a balanced Force user. Oh geeze - I just figured out the inspiration: it's similar to how a "Christian" is a follower of Christ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 It's a fine trailer, but my enthusiasm for this trilogy (and star wars in general) has waned quite a bit. I thought we were getting away from skywalkers? Is there any plan at all for these movies? They feel like half-baked flimsy skeletons of movies written solely to shuffle us from action set piece to action set piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneticBlueprint Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Wondering why she still has Luke's lightsaber. Did she reconstruct the severed one? Did she copy it? I'm still hoping for a double blade since she uses that staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
