SPOILER Last Night's Wannabe SpoilerMan - A Full Plot Summary?

I didn't read through everyones comments yet but to me it basically sounds like a mash up of the new episode of Rebels, and some reused stuff from both trilogies.If maul came back I would hate to have him use the same sentence and have that be his catchphrase for lack of a better word. "At last we will have our revenge....again....maybe...depends if I don't get cut in half....again" Some of it seemed interesting but I personlly won't buy into this storyline yet. I don't think they'd reuse so much plot just replaced with different characters, like Max the hermit, the new super weapon being insignificant compared to the force, and basically the plot of the new rebels episode but flipped to the Sith(this i won't count out only because of the info saying rebels would link with Tfa and such but I would hope it would be different) and also, I said this before but didn't JJ say in an earLy interview that there would NOT be Ewoks? If so, I don't see them having the empire getting revenge on the Ewoks without showing them. I also wouldn't think the new Empire would say, "our #1 mission is kill the Ewoks...I don't care if it takes 10..20..hell, 30 years! We will have our revenge!" I may sound like a downer, but I'm not sure I'd be thrilled with this storyline. Pieces of it, sure, but bleh...please no. Thank you for sharing it though, it was a nice read after being away a few days

 

I'm not buying Serkis as Maul simply because Park is still capable of playing him without legs, plus I've saw pictures of Serkis post-TFA filming and he never shaved his head.

 

Except with the aging and the robotic legs, why would you use Park?

He was only necessary for his athleticism, not even his voice was used.

It would make far more sense to mocap the character and let Serkis give him new gravitas.

 

I like your idea of Finn deciding to bail once in space and basically hijacking a TIE this explains why he could be flying a TIE in standard trooper gear.

Right but that was a prequel and that was George Lucas running things. We may know a decent amount of stuff but we are going to be off on a lot too. That's what I'm trying to say.

 

Stopped reading after the first section, wich is just A New Hope with replaced characters.

I really hope for The Force Awakens to be reminiscent, and nostalgic. I want the past to radiate in this first installment.

I do not want it to be a ripoff.

 

Before TPM, AOTC and ROTS there was a lot of information out because of the various media involved with movies - books, CDs (a major spoiler for TPM can be found in the track listing), calendars even. This media sometimes came out BEFORE the movie did so the info was out in a legit way if you knew where to look. It isn't just a Lucas thing - it's done by all companies. I've had the plots to Man Of Steel, Brave and The Avengers ruined by just walking into Target and thumbing through a book weeks before the movies came out.

 

If Darth Maul is in this movie, I will get up and walk out.

Just saying.

 

A better way to approach this might be -- for those of you who followed JJ Star Trek rumors leading up to their respective releases, how much did JJ let out?

And my question to you -- did you see how much of AOTC or ROTS came out? It was full-on all-out flasher in public. I was there. It didn't come out all at once. It trickled out little by little and there were many revisions along the way for sure. But the people like MSW and S7N pieced it all together. And they were also invited to the media screening, I might add. The Aldera.net spoiler site guy said GL was sitting a few rows back and he was floored by how running a "stupid spoiler site" (in his own words) could have gotten him this close to THE MAN. I hope MSW and S7N and others get invited too.

And with GL, I'm sure he had his NDAs in place. It didn't matter. The production was too huge, too many outsourced aspects, too much 3rd party merchandising. We already know that Sep will see the release of tons of toys featuring scenes from the movie. Again, believe it. You know it to be true! ;-)

 

That's how I feel of there being this talk of multiple characters playing both sides of the fence. I want to see SW not a spy movie. Walking out of movies has become all to common for me. I might be getting too picky but they were all super hero movies I have faith there won't be any ridiculousness in TFA.

 

I agree with most of what you say, I envision MvS a little differently but he is still an enigma. I'm also of the minority that thinks we are barking up the wrong tree with "Rose Nyong'o" something about it doesn't sit right with me

 

I found this recently any thoughts?

Also found this from same user

any thoughts guys?

 

Darth Maul will not be in the movie, come on lol

 

maybe not?

 

I like parts of it, but dislike as many.

Here's why. The script feels like very JJ, every main character connected by a third party per say, and all meeting up by chance to move the plot as his Star Trek films have shown. That, I dislike.

Too much exposition by Han and Luke to recap the auidance... another of JJ's favorite techniques... I dislike that too.

That dark cave drawing in Driver, interesting, as will be his training. That I like.

An evantual ace pilot show down between Driver and Isaac. I like that too.

The Maul I have mixed feelings. For him, he's dead. I don't care what alien or technology involved, Maul was sliced across the intentines and fell down a pit so deep that it peaked deep into Naboo's core. This is where TCW disappointed me as it was more driven by merchandising than logic.

Still, there are too many holes in this story, like what happens to MVS character? Who is controlling the Empire? And really... another weapon that can destroy planets and the plot revolves on it's plans? Please no.

 

Not buying it for two important reasons:

1) I know you said not to point out that this doesn't tell us anything new, but it doesn't. It's a neat gathering of information but it doesn't work as a narrative. Characters are introduced and carry the 'plot' for a while before handing over to the principle character in the next known scene/sequence. There is no sense of a protagonist or main story, just stuff going on.

2) It sucks. Where is the sense of moral ambiguity we've been promised, the simple OT-style story and the foregrounding of the new cast? It manages to include the detail we've seen in concept art and trailer shots, but fails to deliver on the grander ambitions of the film-makers-- the result, it reads like enthusiastic fan fiction.

Nice try, but sorry no....

 

Well, you can't put such restrictions. And he did back-up his point.
