    sigh. 

    except, you know, there has been no hint of the emperor at all over the past two movies.

    rian johnson killed JJ's big bad, and he's left to pick up the pieces. 

    because no one decided to write out or even fucking outline this trilogy before beginning it. 

    Of course. We are in agreement on that. It should've been JJ the whole time just like it was Lucas the whole time but he handed off directing duties to others. Or have Kasdan write all three. The problem was Disney rushing the first one out and not taking their time to build the entire story. But let's be honest, Snoke was a taller Emperor clone. We've discussed the JJ hanging threads before. Just silly to not have a cohesive message from one writer to the next. I tease those on here who seem bitter about the ST but I get it. I'd rather have more Rogue Ones than sequels. I'm thrilled for The Mandalorian, just from the perspective of it will be something completely new and not Jedi related.

    Bringing back the emperor is so incredibly lazy. Zero chance there is a good reason he’s still alive. 

    JJ has already said the story begins and ends with the Emperor. He's the constant ultimate villain in the series. Everything in the series is predicated on his schemes. He lured Anakin to the dark side by talking of cheating death. We've seen that in a sense with Force Ghosts on the light side of the Force. Cheating death on the Dark Side has never been delved into unless it was somewhere in the nerdy EU.  In Lucas terms, "it's like poetry, it rhymes".

    And the Death Star wreckage is on an ocean moon of Endor.

    In the trailers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, you caught glimpses of the ocean moon Kef Bir.

  3. I'd imagine they're on a planet with all those Star Destroyers. As Rogue One showed, Star Destroyers can be inside the atmosphere of a planet. The one Star Destroyer emerging from the water lends credence to them not being in space at that point.

  4. It took me a second to realize that was a black stripe down the middle of the helmet. At first I thought it was purple on the right and black on the left. And it made me think of this.

  5. JJ loves his fan service. I got a B-Wing sighting that made me happy so I'm just as guilty of loving fan service as others. And I do love that JJ was able to shoehorn in another Death Star, which in actuality is the actual Death Star.

    So is it confirmed that some of this is taking place on Endor? If so will there be any goddamned Ewoks running around? Asking for Drew and his Wicket boner.

    Sadly for drew, I think this is actually the planet Endor is the moon of, given Endor is supposed to be comprised of nothing but trees.

    but anyways, i'll go watch it because i have to watch it. i will try to like it as i've tried to like the past two movies, but i'm going into this one eyes wide open, kind of like mack's 2013 season. hope for the best, but we can all kind of see where this shit is headed.

     

    So maybe the Resistance will beat OU and make it to the Alamo Bowl?

    i'll be here to be bitter too, i'll have you know

    I figured you'd have done your own sequel trilogy fan fiction by now but we all seem to have busier lives now compared to when the PT was out.
