Star Wars: Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker

[epilogue]

Oh look gaslightpus is team Burt! Color me shocked!

[Jorge]

I'm just trying to be funny you actual insane asshole

[BurtReynolds]

I love how Burt can't post without insulting me. Shows class and reveals his character.

The real question is why Burt is so afraid of feelings? Why do others' reactions threaten you so much?

I wasn't even talking to you!

I can’t wait until it’s me posting alone again in this forum and you’re all in that dumb Pearl Jam new album thread.

[BurtReynolds]

It's Zorri! Right? I remember it because it is a stupid name

Oh yeah her last name is Bliss. Also the name of a female pro wrestler. And many strippers I'm sure.

I wanted to make sure you felt properly shamed for posting what you posted.

[Jorge]

I am not ashamed. I am a little embarrassed for you but no shame

I am not ashamed. I am a little embarrassed for you but no shame

Well sure, that makes sense given your gaslighting expertise.

[BurtReynolds]

You gotta lot of nerve showing your face around here, [insert dashing rogue name]! What makes you think I will help you after what you pulled on that last job on [insert planet name]?

Come on baby that wasn't my fault! This is for a good cause! Come on! Come onnnnnn!

Oh alright, but this don't make us square! You still owe me!

Yeah I'm good for it, baby! *grins roguishly*

How is this memorable?

JJ Abrams should be in jail.

[dimejinky99]

You’re still here.
Derailing

Look, I'm going to bed. As fun as this has been, I'm exhausted and I have work tomorrow. Good luck idiots & gaslighers! I'm glad y'all take joy in blocking joy from others. Your own personal career failures totally validate your dislike and dismissal of others. Good on you! Space Opera Part 9 is ass & fuck all who disagree!!!

You all won the internet. Good job!

But I'm tired. So, I'm off to bed. Love y'all. Be well. See you tomorrow! May the Force be with you... always.

¨I'm actively trying to emphasize the great stuff because that's the kind of guy I am and I hate hate for hate's sake and We should all calm down, but it really is a good movie¨

Those two lines were the ones i was referring. If im mistaken, sorry...but sometimes its hard to voice an opinion if its going to be buried in ¨hates´sake¨ or ¨enough trolling¨

Im a huge Star Wars fan an a i want to discuss the movie or my lack of love of Poe or Finn without felling bad about it.

This is bizarre to me. There is nothing in this thread, even from those that disagree that discourage your POV. However the opposite is undeniable. Those that like it are idiots snd simpletons and not allowed to like the movie.

How you see otherwise is absurd to me. Those of us that like it have no problem with those that don't. Meanwhile, those that hate it attack those that like it? Come on man. I've been respectful. No one here thinks your fandom is less than others.

Yet somehow I'm an asshole for responding to cynicism from Burt & McP & others? Really?

Come on man.

Well, thats how it felt. Sorry to offend you, im not trying to pick a side or anything. I see now that you see other posts as cynics.

Just read a few posts that could be total BS from purported Lucasfilm insiders, but thought for what it is worth seems feasible. A few people who worked on the films have come out and said that JJ hated what Rian did with Last Jedi because it cut the legs out of all of the new ideas he had. Rey is nobody, Snoke is irrelevant, Luke is not Obi-Wan 2.0, etc.

The Kennedy lead Lucasfilm group loves Rian but Disney head honcho Bob Iger thought Last Jedi was a trainwreck for the franchise fracturing the fanbase, and after Colin Trevorrow was removed from the project, Kennedy wanted Rian Johnson to do IX, Iger refused and gave it to JJ.

So JJ consulted with Lucas since he had to go back to square one and they built a story around the Dagger of Mortis and closely related to the Clone Wars TV show. However, that storyline was rejected by Disney and so not only did JJ have to fix Last Jedi in Disney's eyes, he had to fix his and Lucas's ideas with Disney.

This is why the film was done so late and so many reshoots happened. I actually believe this because it makes sense. Why would they have Palpatine be the main bad guy again? JJ wanted Son of Mortis played by Matt Smith to be the main villain--his name was leaked to be involved and then was quickly deleted from any cast listings-- with Palpatine in the background but Disney thought it would be too confusing. So many reshoots left JJ unhappy and many of his and Lucas storylines ended up on the cutting room floor. This also makes sense because the family connection of Jannah is in the Visual Dictionary, as well as more detailed information that did not get included in the film. Maybe the novelization will pull some of this together.

This assumes with the mixed review of the film that Kennedy has a short timeline left at Lucasfilm, because under her leadership there has been a lot of turmoil on the film side of Star Wars, but that has been said for a few years now. However, with the success of Mandalorian, I think Jon Favreau might find his way closer to that spot sooner than later. He and Kevin Feige had a lot to do with the rise of the MCU and Feige is reported to be interested in developing a Star Wars movie.
