Star Wars: Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker

[E.H. Ruddock]

They’re filming Dune at that exact location we see Rey in.

That’s awesome. I can’t wait for that movie

Need to read the book again so I can complain endlessly on the internet about it before I’ve seen the film.

Well, given Dune's cinematic history, you'd have every right to complain about it. But I have faith in this director

[Anders]

The two tv series were boring, but both the book and the Lynch-movie are good in different ways,

[dimejinky99]

I know the point of my comment didn’t go over your heads but yeah. Dune has been a cinematic catastrophe up to now.

[Anders]

I’ve never understood the hate for the movie. It’s funny because people usually rant and rave about Lynch-movies, beyond what I thought of them.

[epilogue]

David Lynch is my favorite director. But I've still never seen his Dune.

Spoiler: show

As a story fixer (f.ex. in Star Trek) I usually hate time travel. But if it’s done as a whole concept like in Dr. Who or Back To The Future, I can enjoy it. Endgame was so well done, that I surprised myself by letting it slide. However, it should not be used in Star Wars.

Spoiler that shit.

[Anders]

Ok.

It was him or Fincher that worked on retirn it the Jedi and they were only teenagers.

One of them did for sure

[Anders]

He was 37 that year.

[dimejinky99]

Then It was as the other one. It’s w matter of fact. Recorded in the making of book by rinzler.


God I love trolling the comments section on Collider.

The absolutely worst thick as shit American stereotypes you can find.
It’s gloruous

Fincher worked on RotJ (VFX -- ditto Temple of Doom, btw). Lynch was offered to direct but turned it down.

I stopped over there to check out an Endgame article and comments.


Man, that place is going to be a bloodbath come December.

They hate everything. It’s sad but funny too.

The Hungarian translation of the title is Age of Skywalker. Reading the comments, many people took personal offence in the mistranslation, and currently having a field day at the expense of the translators. It is the first SW title that is not a literal translation of the original. I personally couldn't care less, unless after seeing the movie it would become obvious that the original title was very important to the plot.

What was more interesting to me is that the "no one's ever really gone" was translated with gone being interpreted as disappear, and not dead. Probably just a minor thing though.

interesting.

I’m gonna go full Joe with this piece of speculation

But

R2 has the plans to the Death Star in his memory. And the entire imperial archive.
What if they mine R2s memory looking for the plans to the emperors apartments to go find whatever maguffin it is?
The complete locations book shows us his private apartment atop the spire on Death Star II has some Sith relics and artefacts (and the med Center he creates Vader in on Coruscant was his secret lair was packed with Sith holocrons and relics and artefacts and a library of sith lore.)

They go to Death Star II wreckage looking for the thing but it isn’t there so they have to go to Coruscant and search the hidden lair in the med Center.
But the first order and kylo are there before them and battle ensues

I don't see that happening, but I'd fucking dig it if it does.

Love where your heads at on this one.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Yeah, I like it, dime.

[dimejinky99]

It’s pure head canon but I have a feeling R2 having those plans might have a role to play.
He’s been hugely underserved in this trilogy so far

*and he’s the one retells the whole story hundreds of years later remember
The whole trilogy is from the POV of the droids

Totally agree. I'm glad it looks like 3PO will have more to do... but the lack of R2 pisses me off. I really hope he also contributes in a big way in this final chapter. It'll feel really weird/wrong if he doesn't since he's been around and actively participating since the very beginning.
