Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker - Discussion Thread

I survived TFA just fine.

Then I despaired after TLJ.

Yeah, Galan lasted the longest of us. His denial stage was incredible.

i went back and read the whole thing. assuming it is authentic *groan*, here are my thoughts:

Spoiler:
i would much rather palpatine had been a force ghost. it's not inconceivable that he was powerful enough to sense kenobi's presence in the force from the end of ANH and all the way through ESB, and pursued learning this feat for himself. plus i'd go out on a very thick limb in assuming that vader reported directly to palpatine, about how kenobi's body just vanished into thin air. it could have worked as a plot if they simply needed him back.

but NOOOOOOO. palpatine survived, just because. the deathstar you saw that was blown into such tiny pieces that there was literally NO ground damage, and the only atmospheric light show was fireworks launched by x-wings. but hey, it turns out there was, hidden among the presumably microscopic incinerated soot, a chunk of deathstar big enough to destroy all life on endor. and sure that chunk should have then been immediately pulverized upon impact, but apparently it just landed itself gently on the moon's surface, presumably around the time our heros were dancing the night away with their new cannibalistic teddy bear allies.

Yeah

Spoiler:
Palpatine actually being alive doesn't make sense, he should be a sith spirit or something
. Maybe that part of the leak is wrong though. Hopefully.

Hard to believe that the Robot Chicken Star Wars episode is technically canon.

This is apparently the new Sith symbol:

Is it going to be the worst SW movie of all time, Galan?

Based on the leaks, I mean.

I mean, if the leaks are legit, then yeah, it will definitely be a contender for the worst film to date...

I really do *hope* it ends up being decent, though.

There's always hope, yeah...

Reminds me of this scene, btw:

WTF?

Why? What point is there to changing it? The old one looked way better anyway.

This new emblem isn't just entirely unneeded/redundant... It's complete garbage.

What else could possibly go wrong?

Lando's daughter couldn turn out to be worse than Holdo, Rose and Flying Leia all put together?

That seems like a huge leap...but who knows...with the way these leaks have been going...I wouldn't be shocked. Or just a pointless character with little screen time in the end...either way.

That leak is bullshit. How the hell did

Spoiler:
Palpatine survive the Death Star explosion? It would make more sense for him to come back as a spirit and possess someone. Also Rey being his granddaughter is weird, like who would be her grandmother? I think she'll end up being his force child like Anakin was

Same way
Spoiler:
Han can inextricably appear as a force ghost.

Reddit, I think?

Apparently TFA leaks were right, so they think it's gonna be the same this time.

Don't know for sure, trying to stay away from spoilers.

I seriously doubt JJ is going to piss me off worse than Johnson.
