Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (J.J. Abrams, December 20, 2019) Movie • Page 280

it does seem that the projects hes been a part of were/are a bit more of a bureaucracy with the creative vision when it comes down to it. hard to know who to blame or praise. topical.

 

Wait. Lindelof helped write “Fleabag”? /s

 

Is it fun if I am like an average fan of star wars

 

Man I can’t wait to go back through this thread tonight and read all the spoiler tags that have been posted. Also thank you to everyone that have gotten a chance to see this early, but has respected everyone who haven’t.

 

so anyone wanna hazard a guess at just how pandering this might actually be?

 

this forbes review is damn

presumably bringing back palpy is the biggest element thats seen as pandering to the audience but my question is if the plot has been re-routed what were they originally going to do after TLJ? I feel like that had to already be set in stone.

 

Nah palps was a Hail Mary. He wasn’t in trevorrows script

They had no plan with this trilogy and that’s the problem

having said that...there were some hints of palps being alive / up to something in the new canon books.

 

yeah I thought Kennedy was on the books saying it was ‘in the works for some time’ or something after the first trailer

 

and also:

And also:

 

hey Im sorry about GoT but ya shoulda seen it coming

 

I wish Lindelof was given the show after Season 6

But seriously you need to watch The Leftovers. I wasn't a Lost viewer so I guess I didn't go in with the same animosity for Lindelof but he probably did two of the best shows of the 2010s if we're counting Watchmen (though I say that not seeing the finale yet, so if that lets me down it could stain its reputation like GOT's last season did)

 

hey apparently everyone here likes leftovers and watchmen maybe Ill watch them

 

skip the first season of the leftovers, it's perfect otherwise

 

also i really need to know if there are really fucking fake Snoke's in tubs like this is the end of the prestige or some shit lmao

 

"Clone" Snokes!

 

Yes, there is. I found it fine, and it made sense to me in the grand scheme of things. Was a bit throwaway, but as the film went on it was all good.

 

lmao

 

It is truly wild.

 

Is aftermath relevant to this film? Like should I brush up on what happened?

 

This wasn’t the idea from the start? Maaaaaaaaaaaan that’s ridiculous lol

 

At least we aren’t getting worse reviews than Cats? That’s a plus I guess.

 

I don’t understand why everyone obsesses w/ them “not having a plan.” The original trilogy didn’t really have a plan. Marvel Studios had less of a plan than Kevin Feige sometimes makes it sounds, & the times the plan took too much precedence are often their low points.

You know who did have a plan? Snyder’s DCEU. How I Met Your Mother. The monster movie Dark Universe.

 

Having a plan doesn’t guarantee that the result is going to be good. But not having a plan seems like a really bad idea if you want a consistent story/vision in a trilogy.

 

I guess it just depends on if the movies are good or not

plans are good though
