Movie Star Wars - Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker - Spoilers and Rumors

[atlas1]

I reckon Hux and Finn should've had an ongoing conflict through each of the movies. Being a deserter/traitor, Finn is essentially spitting in the face of the First Order and everything Hux stands for. Have Finn build and lead an ex stormtrooper rebellion (with people like Jannah for example) across the galaxy in TLJ instead of going on the pointless moral crusade to Canto Bight.

They kinda tried it with Phasma but her character had as much as depth or interest as a nail. Add this to the list of what could've been. I guess that's what happens when you churn out 3 movies in 5 years

I think I like this little review chat more than the movie:

Tegan: Theories on how the fu** Palpatine was still alive? Dumb takes welcome.

Leah: He fell down the garbage hole and landed in a soft pile of gunk, cushioning the blow.

Chris: I'm fine with that. He's a freaky 1000-year old wizard motherf***er. Getting thrown down a shaft doesn't mean he died

Leah: Nobody can contain the fu** machine.

Sarah: I want to know who boned that wrinkly dark lord to produce offspring. And how, of course.

Chris: That was my chief question when the credits rolled

Tegan: I mean he was emperor. It's like how people get super into dating prisoners

Leah: Oh, I don't like that.

Tegan: It's true! Some chick was clearly done with the bad boy power thing. Probably thought she could change him

Tegan: It also seems like his son was a soft boi if he didn't ever bother to try and train him like he wanted to with Rey

Leah: Was it his son?

Tegan: Yeah old mate said "son" at one point.

Sarah: I loved the Villanelle cameo tbh.

Sarah: #MakeVillanelleAJedi

Tegan: #MakeVillanelleASith

Sarah: New trilogy with Villanelle assassinating everyone in the galaxy. Get on it, Disney.

Chris: Actually - I seem to recall a bunch of humanoids in vats in Palpatine's lair, so maybe he didn't fu**. Rae's mum was a test tube baby.

Tegan: Oh no

Leah: Worse.

Tegan: But it seems like this happened when he was still "alive" probably. fu** can we work out the timeline? Cause his son was part of society enough to score a babe like Villanelle

Sarah: Yeah, Rey's like mid-20s, the parents looked about mid-20s/early 30s when they gave her away, meaning Palpatine had spawn about 40 years prior to the movie. But 40 years ago in the movies was the sequel trilogy right? So Palpatine was supposedly dead then?

Chris: Which is, what, around the time of Return Of The Jedi?

Leah: He was definitely wrinkly by then.

Tegan: Okay so then how did his son Doug Palpatine or whatever escape?

Chris: A lot of broad strokes in this backstory

Leah: Weird that the thing we've taken away from this movie is that Palpatine fu**s, and that's awful.

Sarah: How are his children so beautiful??? I need to know his secret. Sith juice?

Leah: Don't ever use that phrase again, thanks.

Sarah: Petition to put it in the headline.

Leah: Okay so time to move away from boning the ugly skeleton man.

Sarah: "Palpatine's Sith Juice Is Powerful Stuff".

Tegan: As editor I'll allow it.

Leah: NO.

Him surviving the fall down the hole is irrelevant.

The Death Star was obliterated (again) in ROTJ.

Yet it manages to be mostly intact on the planet Rey goes to, and the part of the death star needed to be able to use the occulus was intact and above water.

Alas poor broom boy.
From horizons of hope and destiny to irrelevance.
Guess he was more of a no hope than a new hope.

JJ swept him under the rug pretty quickly

Hated TLJ ending with broom boy and wearing that stupid ring with the Rebel Alliance symbol

Such a shit ending and gave me nothing to look forward in 9

Keep watching, you see huge fragments falling in the sky in Endor.

 

[mike123]

Not because it was particularly bad, but because it's almost as if Abrams took his ball and went home...except it wasn't his ******* ball to begin with.

Umm that’s exactly what Rian did with TLJ...

Proves he's a badarse bad guy.

Luke, Han, Leia: Pit = Trash compactor, choice escape, bailed out by 3PO and R2D2.
Boba: Pit = Sarlacc, slight bump, lived in legends.
Maul: Pit = literal, cleaved in twine, Lived with robot torso to die later "with honour".
Palp: Pit = literal, thrown whilst electrocuting himself, and exploded, resurrected to die later because reasons.

Pit = escape hatch plot convention irregardless of damaged sustained, the more damage, the more badarse one is, the more badarse the more sith. It's a trope.

 

[GrommoT]

who were the people he killed?

They must have been Sith aligned guardians of that tall pyramid thingy that was a map to Exagol. The preview screen crawl said as much that Kylo was on a rampage hunting for the Emperor.

[Exe Gesis]

Yeah I went to a midnight session and the cinema was barely half full. Was very strange given every single midnight session I’ve ever been to has been sold out.

SW doesnt resonate as much anymore?

Empty cinemas are the best, no annoying campaigners and best choice of seat

 

[SM]

We had heaps in our complex for it, three sessions going at once.

Pure gash films like TLJ will do that to a franchise

 

[Percel]

fu** you all, decided to see it at the cinema after all, even tho i cam'd it earlier. just finished work, got nothing better to do. session starts in qtr of an hr. i already hate myself

Thank ****

There was 5 screens At my local cinema. squashface may just have been in a screening that wasn't released until later.

 

[atlas1]

Palpy created Snoke. Snoke tossed Rey around like a rag doll. Palpy could've done this and tossed her down the pit but went for force lightning instead, a tactic that had already failed in ROTS. It failed again.

Yeah to be fair I just checked back at the sessions and there were at 3 normal screens, 2 Vmax and 2 Gold Class sessions all at the same time so that probably explains it

There's already a cam version? that was fast

I thought the idea of Broom Buy was setting up an anti Executive Order 66 moment where new force users would rise up and take down the...whatever Empire/Order the bad guys were going by now. Instead it's just a migraine parade of stupid ships (who came from nowhere for reasons left off screen) come to save the day (I thought the climatic set piece looked ripped straight from the Battlefront II single player).
