Star Wars: Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker

[Strat]

its the least "star wars" "star wars title", thats for sure.

[epilogue]

I like the title. It checks all my boxes. It's a bit campy and matinee serial-y, it's strong and action oriented, it maintains the "re" trend, it mentions Skywalker, and it's sort of open-ended as to what exactly it means. It has multiple implications. I like that.

wish they had just called it Skywalker....thats all

This is petty.... I admit that, totally... but I'm glad they didn't for no other reason that it means that tree was wrong.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Plus, now that opens up the fact that Rey IS probably a Skywalker. The one thing I really liked about TLJ was that Rey ended up being a "nobody" as far as her parents.

[Monkey_Driven]

I am so against Palpatine still being alive.

I really like the title. Hope it's the final title, with Episode IX thrown in to make it in line with the other 8.

dont think i dont love it...my reaction video is incoming...

[epilogue]

So... the opening dialogue... is that Luke? And is he saying "We've passed unholy now... a thousand generations live in you now... but this is your fight."

Is that what those lines are? I'm at work on shitty speakers and it's really difficult to tell.

dime that trailer has already been posted. get a hold of yourself.

It'll be in the marketing and stuff. But they abandoned the numbers for the ST. TFA and TLJ didn't have the numbers in them in the trailers either. That was mostly a branding thing for the PT.

JJ (or maybe KK? -- now I can't remember, but one of them) actually made a big deal about dropping the Episode VII from the trailer/title reveals back in when he was first brought on.

"We've passed on all we know" is what I heard.

“We’ve passed on all we know”

"we've passed down (or on?) all we know..." then what you said

[CopperTom]

It's shitty that they needed to incorporate the worst aspect of the old EU - no one stays dead.

I like her being "nobody" too. And I don't think this at all confirms that the idea is being retconned. I think those lines at the beginning and the title much more strongly imply the idea that the Jedi are gone and a new order is coming and that order or whatever is called Skywalker.

Thank you Anders, Wease, and Ruddo.

That makes MUCH more sense.

[blueviper]

So I wonder if the idea is that Skywalker becomes the new Jedi, moving away from a series of people to an ideal. It would fit thematically with the storytelling in Force Awakens and Last Jedi


Thank God Colin Treverow isn't directing this

Huh. I kinda like that idea.

[stip]

Daisy is a treasure, but nothing about this movie yet looks all that appealing. Maybe that will change as more is revealed.

Did you like the Last Jedi? I don't recall.
