Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (J.J. Abrams, December 20, 2019) Movie • Page 142

The only way he can literally fuck up the ending is if ruins the best message of the new films: greatness doesn’t need to come from some lineage of genetics.

 

“I don’t want to say that what happens in Episode 8 [didn’t happen]. We have honored that.”

Quotes better than the headline. (Unsurprising.)

 

I’m definitely team “i no longer care about rey’s parents”.

 

Ive heard this a bunch but not until finally looking just now do I believe that ship in the teaser to be the one in Reys vision in TFA. Definitely really damn close if its not the same ship

Pissed TFA isn't on Canadian Netflix anymore. Wanna do a double feature of that and TLJ >:(

 

Hopefully Abrams honored what happened in TLJ by acknowledging that Kylo told Rey her parents were nobody, which is what happened, but it’s revealed in TROS he was lying to her to bring her to his side.

 

That would be super garbage of monumental proportions.

 

Agreed

 

The left bottom picture makes the back look way smaller than the top picture - i dont think thats the same ship. Seems like an internet reach for the sake of theorizing.

 

Which vision is this again?

 

When she touches the lightsaber in TFA

 

Okay yeah, that does look very similar. Good catch.

 

Palpatine is Rey's great, great grandfather confirmed.

The Palpatine laugh is them having a good time skipping and holding hands in the park.

 

That would a pretty weak moment to be honest.

 

She’s a Thrawn. No one noticed her blue skin?

 

The idea of decoupling “greatness” from bloodlines is so so so so important to this franchise going forward.

 

This.

Kylo Ren is an A+ example of what he did to his own father.

 

Agree with this 100%. I read that post incorrectly earlier and ‘liked’ it too quickly :/

 

I don’t even get why people want her to be tied to somebody. It’s not a twist if people already tied her to Luke, obi wan, palpatine, etc... it means nothing for either character. If anything it devalues them. Vader being Luke’s father was so good because 1. Nobody saw it coming 2. Just like Rey being nobody it was the hardest thing for him to hear and deal with.

 

Honestly, it would just be a slap in the face if they revealed that she was a secret Skywalker love child or something. Like put the Skywalker era to bed already.

 

I hope she's just a standalone orphan who has ties to the force, which links into Jason's point about decoupling greatness. It undermines the importance of this new gen of movies.

 

Yeah one of my friends hates that she's a "nobody" and I'm like....this is way more interesting than having her be a Skywalker

 

Just tell them you won’t vote for another Clinton either cause legacy by blood is baaaaadddddd.

 

That Abrams’ quote makes me think he’ll keep her lineage as unimportant people who meant nothing but tweak how she was sold as a child. Like, someone related to the force is who convinced them to do it or something equally stupid.

Idk, I really don’t like what he said there.

 

Perhaps it’ll be revealed in the end that Anakin was misinterpreted as the chosen one and it was actually Rey who is.
