STAR WARS TROS/Mando Thread: Iger: Less Reylo, More Mando

[Smiling Penner-Lite]

I'm avoiding the heck out of spoilers right now but if this is Star Wars Jurassic world I'm gonna be so bummed

Not gonna happen -- they sacked Trevorrow, remember?

This will be Star Wars Into Darkness.

In all honesty there’s a good chance it’ll be worse than both of those.

I don't think so. Honestly just having Rey/Finn/Poe/Chewie running around for half the film will be great, the film will look good, and Adam Driver is no Hayden Christensen.

TDKR is probably the most accurate outcome.

Is the new video game going to be good? I miss the era of just playing the games and looking at the vehicle and creature encyclopedias and dreaming of a better life that hollywood will never capture

[kirito]

it looks cool to me

[murray st.]

it's kind of astonishing how pessimistic this thread has become. feels like a more comfortable mode to be in as a star wars fan tbh. excited for this movie

Has a lot of potential I think

[emotional fascism]

despite the potential for both to suck and I am actually still pretty excited for the game and movie. just not as obsessively anticipating as I was for TFA. having that and Twin Peaks in the pipeline really burned out my energy to get completely obsessed for months and months during the lead up.

JediPaxis (the guy who compiled his and other leaks into the Reddit summaries) has posted another full summary (in .pdf format) that includes new info, including stuff that they've been working on in reshoots. https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsLeaks/comments/dg0mw6/the_rise_of_skywalker_reshoots_and_edits_story/

Haven't looked through much of it yet, but it's interesting that JJ may be scrapping the intro flashback scene with young(er) Luke and Leia having a mock lightsaber duel.Toggle Spoiler

[Rainbow Battle Kid]

i actually thought that would be a cool weird chill way to begin the movie, other than the need for CGI which wouldn't look great

kinda like the Smeagol flashback at the beginning of RotK actuallyToggle Spoiler

[reversemigraine]

Looks like the "Force Dyad" stuffToggle Spoiler is gone, thank God.

[reversemigraine]

Boolio.Toggle Spoiler

[reversemigraine]

Jesus Christ, the whole "sneak onto a Star Destroyer" shit is so fucking redundant.Toggle Spoiler

[marta]

wait, so you guys have been reading leaked summaries that shift around?

what a horrific way to engage with a movie, jesus

[Rainbow Battle Kid]

seems like there's huge changes to like main plot points in this? changes that big feel like they make this sound more bullshit but i dunnoToggle Spoiler

Welcome to the Star Wars thread! I'm your host, reversemigraine.

[badhat]

oh man

[Rainbow Battle Kid]

i tried to stay away from leaks with the other movies, but with this one i think it's helping to tempter my expectations and if anything be pleasantly surprised

[Rainbow Battle Kid]

maybe i'm forgetting something from the other leaks but it's weird that Rose doesn't seem to be mentioned at all in this.Toggle Spoiler

[reversemigraine]

"I'm told that Poe 'attempts a more than friends insinuation [with Zorri] but is rebuffed in a moment that is played for a light laugh'"Toggle Spoiler

Mmm yes, cool cool

[dreamshake]

these leaks are fake as hell

[kirito]

yep that's where i'm at too. no way they would scrap a young luke and leia cgi scene after how much money and work that would take

[Smiling Penner-Lite]

I'm wondering how much KK has focus grouped this film and that's why there's so much rethinking going on.

Also regarding Rose, is it going to be like the last film where they don't know what to do with her? Rey, Finn, Poe, Chewie and the droids together all makes sense. I'm fine if they include Rose but she seems more like a support character who would be at the Rebel Base etc but not on the main mission.

[marta]

what if nerd rumors are nerd rumors

[manvstrees]

i def do not need more rose

[warmhouse]

yeah FWIW it seems as if the tide has shifted and now no-one believes a word of any of this... interested to see if the trailer (this week or next) corroborates anything.

[warmhouse]

Or perhaps all of the leaks are sourced from a first draft from two years ago that means nothing any more

[Drinky]

There are definitely fake leaks

I want Rose to be the one to kill Palpatine if only because she has been the target of the very specific white supremacist anger the franchise has been dealing with.

Up to this point, MSW has pretty much co-signed the leaks from the Reddit guy and is now doubling-down on Twitter, so I'd wager that if they're fake, that means Disney is actively leaking disinfo.

That said, YouTube Instant Trailer Reaction culture sucks and I won't be too sad if Ward ends up looking foolish in the end. Especially if the result is something better than what's been described so far.
