So is Plagueis or Sidious Anakin’s real father?
Is Sidious using horcruxes and clones to live on?
Is Plagueis Voldemort?
Was James Potter a cuck?
Is Westeros a continent on Onderon?
Is Dany a Beastrider?
Does that make Robert Baratheon General Vaklu?

Rian Johnson fricked everything by killing Snoke. He should’ve remained the big bad, killed Luke in some crazy battle at the end of TLJ, and been left to be the final boss in this one where he kills Finn, Rose, and Rey.

well that's like, typical, bro. what is subverting about that story *yawn*

Which is funny considering Kylo turning to the light side is the most telegraphed move ever

No, Snoke dying isn’t necessarily bad. There are still ways to come back from that if you provide some over-arching external threat to the Galaxy that Snoke’s militarism was designed to guard against.

Imagine Snoke is an outcast from a civilization from beyond the outer rim planning on destroying the galaxy. The republic in its current form doesn’t stand a chance at repelling this invasion. In fact, this same invasion is what the Emperor was trying to guard against as well with the Empire’s huge fleet. Therefore, the motivation for forming the First Order (as well as the Empire) was to overthrow the weak republic government and replace it with a strong, centralized militaristic regime capable of responding to this exterior threat.

We could even reference some KOTOR stuff by having this threat be what Revan and Malak encountered beyond the Outer Rim, or maybe something something about a true Sith homeworld or some shite. You could even have Luke’s vision of all of this be what sent him over the edge into exile and dispare, realizing that his actions not only caused the failure of the jedi order, the turning of his nephew to the dark side, and maybe have his wife die in the collapse of the temple as well, but would cause the galaxy to be destroyed by a threat he could not defeat, and who could have been defeated by the empire he destroyed.

Thus, when they kill Snoke, Kylo does so because he recognized that the Galaxy would be better off if the First Order and Resistance stood together against the threat. That’s why he tempts Rey with the whole “join me” schtick. In the end of TLJ, the Resistance and First Order pretty much destroy each other.

That leaves room for Act III where Rey and Kylo finally bring balance to the force by mastering light and dark, unite what remains of the First Order and Resistance, and with the guidance of force ghosts discover a way to defeat the invasion in some kind of way that brings it all full circle with Jar -Jar or something from KOTOR.

Also, in Act II, Leah died when Kylo couldn’t pull the trigger and Luke actually showed up on the Salt planet and sacrificed himself to save the remaining Resistance and stop further bloodshed.

Kylo is the perfect role model for today's youth. He is wishy washy with the dark side/light side. He hates his father so he kills him. He pouts and destroys things cause he is angry. The undercover boss SNL skit nailed the character.

Kylo is a trouble child of divorce who felt betrayed when his uncle tried to murder him. He wants to measure up to his legendary grandfather, but never seems good enough for anyone. He wants to make his own legacy to get back at the paents who rejected him, but keeps getting overshadowed by the past and by Rey.

None of the films past 1983 make since.


And how come when they go light speed and go back to places they had left before, no one is a lot older ?

Well, in case anyone had any doubts about those leaks being accurate:

Leia as the Last Jedi??


quote:

But it’s what Fisher had to say of his sister’s potential role in The Rise of Skywalker that is interesting—with Yahoo alleging Leia “was going to emerge as a full-fledged Jedi warrior, complete with her very own lightsaber. That’s according to no less an authority than Fisher’s real-life brother, Todd Fisher”



quote:

The primal thrill of the idea of Leia wielding her own lightsaber is exciting to contemplate, especially compounded by the sad idea that it’s not happening because of Fisher’s untimely passing. But it’s important to remember as well that it’s not the weapon that makes someone a Jedi—a lesson she, her brother, Rey, and many more would know. Leia would never have become the last, or one of the last, Jedi. She already was one, like her father and brother before her, just without the title and all the baggage the establishment that is the Jedi Order brings with it.

Aka, we wanted to totally retcon all of star wars to prop up a FEMALE jedi and now we're going to force the idea there was significant group that wanted this through the paid off press.

So, she would be a Jedi simply because her father and brother are both trained Jedi? Or, are they trying to say that she had been trained as a Jedi years ago and just no longer wanted to be one?

One of the leaks details scenes showing Leia in jedi training and she quits when she gets pregnant lol.

At the end Rey uses Leias lightsaber to kill Palpatine.

It was exactly as Kathleen planned it...

As I was reading the article thats the exact part of the leaks that crossed my mind.

Its like Yoda setting fire to all the sacred texts was not so subtle foreshadowing that the last two movies were going to shite all over everyones childhoods in the most violent diarrhea way possible or something.
