I thought this looked like it could be really good. I sometimes forget this the MTV board where we are supposed to run around with our hair on fire.

Luke is very important, but anyone who comes away from the original trilogy thinking he’s the centerpiece of the story missed the point. At its core, OG Star Wars is the redemptive arc of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader and Luke is a part of that.


Except for the fact that Lucas retconned after the release of ANH for it to be that way. Vader wasn’t originally Anakin. Now, I will agree that it became about Anakin’s redemption, but to downplay that Luke was the focus, and the intended focus, of ANH is absurd.

I to think he is going to have a fantastic trilogy


His trilogy will never be made.

Iger today said they were putting a pause on all Star Wars movies.
In June of 2018 CBR stated 2020 at the earliest.
Jun 2019 CBR Article


I don't think we will see any star wars movie before 2022 and it sure as hell won't be Rian Johnson's dead trilogy.
Episode 9 is going to have a Solo type reception at the box office.

Money is meaningless when you have it and George Lucas is the worst thing to happen to Star Wars since it was created.


Whatever you say, Rian.

It's hilarious some people still think it's going to be made just because it was never publicly cancelled. They don't understand how Hollywood works. Projects are almost never "cancelled", they just never happen. 4-5 years will pass and someone will ask about it and both sides will say the standard "got busy with other projects" bs they always do.

The original trilogy was always about Luke.

Anakin is overlayed by the prequel trilogy, which was released 15-20 years later.

If they suck like they did with Solo, then I'll skip it


Solo didn’t suck.

Solo was a good movie and Rogue One was a very good movie.

The only turd that has been dropped is 8 and that is on Kathleen Kennedy and Rian Johnson.

The Rise of Skywalker is the worst Stars wars title out of all 9 movies


It really is pretty bad. They clearly wanted to get a certain message across. But easily the worst title along with Attack of the Clones.

going to go with speeder bikes, I think they become more clear as they emerge from the dust.

But that's the image I was wondering- is that where Luke ran into the Sandpeople?

The Asian character Rose was shoe horned in to appeal to Chinese ticket buyers and they were too dumb to realize that Chinese people are racist and she is Vietnamese or Thai. They made a bad movie worse with that garbage on the casino planet that didn’t even effect the plot. Also, Akbar killed with no send off like he was nobody. Killed Luke. Purple hair bad arse woman General breaks all Star Wars forever by bringing in hyperspace jumps as a weapon. Poe Damron is apparently the third ranking guy in the resistance but somehow Leia and purple hair decide to keep him in the dark for no reason at all.

It’s like a 6th grader wrote it.

If JJ can clean all of that up, he’s a Jedi.

I’m sure JJ will make Ep. 9 entertaining

I just don’t know how it can possibly be good after the damage Ep 8 did

Also, I don’t know why we are supposed to care anymore TLJ just obliterated and deliberately deconstructed every interesting thing about Star Wars.

It’s like a wanna-be edgy modern art project at an Indie film festival, only with one of the most beloved and popular franchises of all time.

I don't care what anyone thinks about the last jedi




If that shot of Rey jumping over Kylo's tie fighter doesn't get you excited, you are choosing to be miserable.

The original movie, as a stand alone, is about Luke.

Once it became a trilogy and they decided where they were going with Vader, the story as a whole became about him. By the end of Empire the story is clearly no longer a hero tale about Luke.
