OFFICIAL NEWS Star Wars’ Upcoming Movies Will Be Set Around The Sequel Era

In the time period of Mando, Grogu has the mentality and social skills of a two old (or a very intelligent pet dog). So by the time of the TROS he might have developed into the equivalent of a three and year old.

Grogu will continue to serve well as the enigma/maguffin that he really is without other established, fully dimensional characters having to worry about overshadowing or being overshadowed by him.

 

I agree. And I suspect Lucasfilm and Disney will be VERY VERY VERY CAUTIOUS about doing anything that might negatively impact their cash cow. But someday, likely decades down the road from now, some creative with the company will come up with an new era of Jedi Knights in SW movies that will feature an adult Grogu.

 

Grogu will unite the clans, wield the dark saber AND rebuild the Jedi Order.

 

I thought that would be Rey.

 

Or.... At last, he will reveal himself. At last,....

 

I once thought that was Luke's destiny.

 

I would really have no interest then. Which feels horrible to say

 

Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing where things go from here. With the Skywalker plotline concluded, what will the future of SW entail? I'm particularly curious about what the central conflict/antagonist group will be going forward; we live in interesting times, for sure. Also personally, I hope they don't lean too heavily on the Force users and lightsaber swingers, as I don't need another superhero franchise these days. Anyway, I for one, am psyched for this.

 

Ah, but Rey is now 'the Skywalker'....although she's really a Palpatine.

@Pernicious-Jawa ...same here, sadly. I foolishly ended up liking the character they killed off the most, and in addition to him being the last of the heroes' bloodline, I just can't relate to Rey post TROS.

 

Revenge of the Sith, indeed.

 

Vader was a sith. Depending on who you believe, his son saved the galaxy, or he did. Like Rey.


How is it that the last Jedi standing at the end of the ST being an orphaned child of the child of a cloned Palpatine is so unpalatable, (yet not as unpalatable as her rejecting that heritage and adopting the name of the people who nurtured her development in the force, according to some, bizarrely), while the last Jedi standing at the end of the OT being the son of a child murderer who wiped out the Jedi and helped Palpatine secure power is nothing to blink at?

 

There is nothing to stop Darth Sidious from returning again.... and again, and again, and again.... until Grogu finally finishes the job in 732 years. Luke saved his father, not the galaxy.... and at the end of it all, Rey stole their name. Simple as.

Totally awesome when 2 Sith bastards try influence the force and get rekt'd from within 50 years later by the monster's son.



Total bantha fodder when one of those Sith Bastards sets up his clone-bred grand daughter to usurp the monster's family name.

I have some serious issues with any peeps just assuming someone else's family name.

LARPers are the most annoying people in the universe.

 

Um...Luke's father was born a good man whose 'fall' was because he was misled by a scheming, evil man who had nothing good in him at all and according to the Skywalkers' creator was 'Galactic Satan'.

Rey's grandfather was the scheming, evil man who was responsible for the 'fall' of Luke's father, used a surrogate (Snoke) to seduce Luke's unhappy nephew to the Dark Side and was ultimately responsible for the eventual extinction of the heroes and their last descendent.
The Skywalker Saga was about the power of love and the ties of blood...what you are saying regarding Rey would be fine in other mediums ,but in the Skywalker Saga it goes against everything the series stood for.
'I can't kill my own father', 'you cannot deny the truth that is your family'.
Vader saved Luke because he was his son...and the ties of blood were stronger than his ties to his master. That was the true message of the Skywalker Saga.

ROTJ ended with the evil vanquished once and for all. TROS ended with the Antichrist standing in the ashes of the Skywalker's home.

 

Isn't everyone born as an innocent child and than falls prey to evil for whatever reason (even a Palpatine?)

 

How do you know Rey's father wasn't born a good man? Name me a person who was born a bad man?

Rey's father did his best and gave his life to protect her from his father. So clearly he's at least as "good" a man as Luke's father. MAybe even better since as far as we know Rey's father didn't wipe out a village of Tuskens or betray and murder scores and scores of children in the Jedi temple.

How do you know that wasn't the case with Palpatine?

That man's granddaughter was hidden from him by her father who was a good man. And she wound up being responsible for destroying her grandfather's evil.

Way off the mark. Star Wars is not a medium for condemning people due to their blood ties with someone who has committed great evil.


You have to appreciate the story on the basis of its actual facts. Not what you want it to he about or what makes you feel most comfortable.

Obi Wan talks about how good a man Anakin was. He's talking about his performance during the Clone Wars. A fake conflict where Anakin excelled at destroying robots. Kenobi had no idea that Anakin had massacred an entire village on Tatooine. Ok they were good friends and looked out for each other. But Anakin chose to serve what he had been taught all his life was evil, in order to save the only thing he cared about by that time. His wife and his unborn child. He belatedly killed the evil man he chose to serve for all those years, purely in order to save his son. Which is what he chose to serve evil for in the first place.

Anakin bowed to evil and then usurped it in order preserve the things that were close to him, and was happy to do it at the expense of whatever else got in the way. Evil/good? Deserving/innocent? Those all depended on whether they allowed or prevented Anakin from having what he wanted. He was like that right till the end.

Rey is probably the truest Jedi in the whole saga. She was prepared to and did destroy her own grandfather for the sake of universal love. Obi Wan failed to kill Vader because he loved Anakin (even though he later claimed that Vader had already killed Anakin, or Anakin had ceased to exist by that point)

 

Rey is a terribly written character. She had no depth and TROS turned her into a sanctimonious unimpeachable icon without any of Luke's complexity or even Anakin's vulnerability. They gave her a free pass for everything she did, including magically producing another ship out of nowhere when she seemed to have 'killed Chewie.' TROS degenerated into a dull Rey love fest where every character adored her and she was forgiven for every mistake she made...the novel was even worse.

I don't think I have ever been so disappointed in a character as I was with Rey...she had so much potential and ended up little more than, as one disgruntled reviewer said, a creepy Stepford smiler.

 

Great question.


Before the thought bomb that Disney launched on the old Expanded Universe, there was an answer or two, that might have surprised you. It seems, there are some sentients born in the galaxy far, far away with a certain penchant for violence born of an unquenchable bloodlust and I'm not even talking about the Anzati. So yes..... even a Palpatine, as depicted in the Darth Plagueis Novel.... the son of Cosinga was a murderous bastard and then some.

I wanted the Taika of Hunt for the Wilderpeople (i love it), Jo Jo R. and What we do in shadows, but not the marvel one (and it seems the last Thor is just awful taking gags to another absurd level).
With this, am sorry, but I think I don't want Taika for SW anymore.

I want dark, adult, artistic and serious SW projects.
I don't want SW with the oversaturated humor of Marvel!!!

Villeneuve, Kosinsky, Reeves, Garland, Mendes, Nichols, Edwards, Gilroy, Howard...
Jeez, pick up a good director for SW!!!
And good writers!!

 

To me, Thor: Ragnarok is my favorite MCU movie to date, so I'm definitely looking forward to more Waititi Star Wars! Similarly, his Redemtion episode of Mando s1, a long with the character of IG-11, among my favorite Mandoverse experiences thus far.

Me, I can't wait to see what Waititi ends up doing with his own SW project!
