SPECULATION What is the worse thing that could happen in Ep VIII in your opinion

Bastard Child, really? What is this, the medieval times?

You do realise marriage numbers are decreasing worldwide and number of births outside of wedlock is increasing?

 

Well, Hux is called a Bastard (Life Debt), so it isn't that far fetched. Just saying...

 

Yes I agree there may be elements they don't want to spoil for later films but there is no complex equivalence with what you are saying about Rey and the fact they are not trying to spoil anything?

I did find this. @DailyPlunge

 

That could just be the author's interpretation and/ or the First Order's societal views. That doesn't necessarily mean it will be incorporated into other material.

 

Let's hope so.

 

My thinking of the scene as well.

 

I think you have an issue with the English language and the word bastard.

I'm not sure what you're saying. Rey is a George idea. That's right from a person in the story group. This really isn't debatable since he's on record.

People who abandon young children on planets are terrible people. If Luke knows he has a child it's pretty terrible statement on his character. That's why I highly doubt the story group goes in that direction. If Rey is his child he doesn't know she exists.

 

I never suggested he need necessarily know she exists. Anyway, I consider the old jedi Order's practice of taking children who have no ability to consent away from their homes and families and training them to be Jedi pretty terrible in itself. At least with the Sith you generally had to give yourself of your own free will.

BTW I'm not in the Luke's daughter camp at any rate.

 

They'll see each other again. I'm sure of it. Perhaps not in eight, but at least in nine.

 

I actually think this is a problem I have with many Star Wars stories, the sith frequently raid fallen Jedi for their ranks. I think they would be stronger if they developed a philosophy to kill all Jedi regardless, and only train those they raise from Birth. That way you get to indoctrinate them their entire lives, by the time they confront a Jedi the first time they have spent 17-18, hell 20 years only thinking and breathing the Sith way. With a character who was a jedi and fell, you always have the possibility, see Skywalker, Anakin, that he will have another change of heart.

The Emperor by contrast never has a change of heart. Even in the TV shows, Maul never really loves the Jedi, he just wants to destroy the emperor which sometimes causes him to make alliances. There is no confusion though, Maul is not being "redeemed".

 

But you are disregarding the man himself to listen to someone else because what they are saying makes your point. George has been very clear "all" his ideas were disregarded he had no part in the process at all.

 

EP7 gave us the backbone of the SW formula and magic.. now EP8/9 need to dive head first into visual creativity with new ships, space battles, locations, aliens, costumes, sound effects, enemies..

Basically the worst thing that could happen is if they let the excellence that was EP7 go to waste and not completely focus on world building (alongside building an already great story).

 

Bizarre you're still arguing this point despite the fact Lucas said "they went in a different direction." He never said they didn't use any of his ideas. Furthermore a Lucasfilm employee and member of the story group has said recently that the character of Rey is a George Lucas idea. There's no grey area here. Pablo Hidalgo isn't lying. Rey was George's idea. It will be explained further in the Making Of book about TFA.

Disagree if you wish, but facts are facts.

 

Give it a rest, they had nearly finished building sets before George half arsed the phantom menace together watch the documentary, there is no way that George had pre planned anything.

If you want to believe some rubbish over jj Abrams telling you, Thats fine but the facts Are the facts.

George had probably wrote a few ideas on a f*ckin napkin down then submitted it to them and they very kindly declined. Because in my opinion casdan wrote starwars, the good parts any way, We saw what would have been in the "I hate sand " prequels in casdans absence.

Now lets just agree to disagree. If it took the movie to nearly arrive at filming before George had written a f*ckin line he definitely wasn't writing scripts after selling the whole shebang. Give it a rest.

 

TL DR. Your argument is Pablo Hidalgo is a liar. Got it. Weird theory, but to each their own.

 

Yes, that's it! Thanks Anasa!!

I agree with this one, too. I know this is a bit of a stretch, but it would be nice to see a Luke and Leia reunion in which Leia shows Luke a "hologram" type message left by Han to Leia before he headed to Starkiller Base with Finn, Rey and Chewie. Giving her some last minute message, including one for Luke. So, technically, you can see the three "together" again.
A girl can dream. lol

 

What is the worst thing that could happen? Rey falling in love with her kidnapper and torturer, Kylo Ren, the two having Force babies, and living happily ever after.

 

they could do this beauty and the beast Style. Kylo takes her to a secret secluded castle to keep her from Luke, he makes the furniture come alive and do song and dance numbers.

Sorry, I couldn't resist

 

Time travel.

Kylo travels in time to pick up Vader and bring him into the FUUUUUUUUTUUUUURE to face Luke Skywalker one more time, and just punk up the whole Star Wars OT.

 

There can't be many of our worst idea fears that skilled film-makers couldn't include in a way that serves a good story.

That said, I'm hoping 8 doesn't:

• start without any time having elapsed
• include a complete and resolved ending
• feature too many obvious OT throwbacks
• shrink the universe unnecessarily
