SPECULATION Any Chance of "I Am Your Father" Twist In The Last Jedi?

First of all TFA isn't a rehash of ANH. Yes, it has similar beats, but it plays out differently. ANH is story driven, TFA is character driven.

Leia and Han called their son Ben because Kenobi brought them all together. I think that's actually canon.

Some people don't seem to understand what a twist actually is. A twist turns the story in a different direction without destroying the story which was already established. Furthermore a twist doesn't need to be an unexpected event.

But to answer your question: no, there won't be a "I'm your father" scene in TLJ. I think the "twist" of this trilogy has to do with the destruction of Luke's academy (respectively with Ben's fall to the dark side) or there is a twist for Rey's abandonment on Jakku.

But do we really need a twist in TLJ? A great movie doesn't need to have a twist after all.

 

No it wasn't and no it's not.

You mean you've seen TLJ and know all of this? No

Because it won't be

But Ben is not Luke's son. Didn't you watch TFA? See it wasn't like ANH at all.

Rey will be a random, but Ben is a Solo. You can't call an audible in the middle of the story and change Ben Solo to be Luke's son. Which would be pretty crazy when he's already been established as Leia and Han's son.

I can rule out Rey being Snoke's daughter because,well, she's not.

I disagree with it, but you love star wars like us all and have theories.

 

Hahahahaha! Calling TFA not a rehash of ANH!

Yeah & in no way the Go-Bots r a ripoff of Transformers! Hahahahaha!

 

If there is an "I am your father" moment I wouldn't mind. But I think half of the audience might throw up/run out of the theater screaming about how the sequel trilogy is just a rehash of the original trilogy. For that reason I think there won't be.

 

We dont need a big twist for the sequels. This trilogy can be excelent without a big surprise.

 

It can be solid, but not legendary. I want legendary.

 

I am good with solid. TFA was excelent, just hope TLJ and IX keep the same level.

 

And that's cool. But I hope that VIII or IX is the best Star Wars movie ever. Period.

 

It isn't...but in no way was ANH a rip off A Hidden Fortress...shhh don't tell anyone.

 

And for the record, I'm glad TFA was just solid. It was a good baseline to establish confidence in where Disney was taking it. Now they have a little bit of leeway to try something big.

 

i dunno man, Leia was definitely pregnant with a male child; that's canon. Luke couldn't possibly be the father. unless....

i suppose Leia's boy could have died or been a non-character in TFA, but that wouldn't explain why Han says to Kylo Ren how he wants to see the face of his son, etc.

 

I didn't vote in the poll because I don't think it will be any of those. But I do think any kind of shocking revelation ( short of Rey belonging to Luke and Leia) is on the table. I think in the end the reveal will be less shocking then whatever explaination is offered for it.

 

Well didn't that Japanese promotional materials say it was "shocking", "to the core" & "will shake up the saga 4ever"?

Maybe Snoke was the first Jedi, or something like dat?

 

I voted “no” simply because I don’t believe there will be that type of major plot twist but I’ve been wrong once or twice, so...

 

I consider TFA an excelent movie because JJ and the rest of the professionals in charge of cast and responsibles for the creation of the new characters did such a perfect job, something that the prequels failed with the cast of both actors to play Anakin for example. The most important thing in SW is the creation of strong and interesting characters and TFA nailed it.
Agree with you. Visually TFA is the most interesnting of the entire saga. So many epic shots.

 

I don't think there'll be an "I am your father" moment. But I am expecting some sort of twist that will rock our perspectives of what has come before. Go on Rian, you can do it!!

 

Me too.

 

Totally agree.

Something like Luke being the one to (accidentally) destroy the Temple housing new generation of Jedi, hints of a history between him and Snoke, etc., would be much more interesting a twist and raise much more questions than something like “Rey, Luke is your father.”
