Zuleikha April 20, 2019 Share April 20, 2019 Rey and Ben embody the two side of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, and thematically TFA (and the NT) is the battle between the two sides of his legacy. I don't think that's where the story will go, but I would love it if they do (and are able to make it non-cheesy). She's not. In the TFA fight Kylo just took a blast bolt in the stomach. This is a response to a discussion literally no one was having. Rey uses the Force intentionally multiple times prior to the Rey/Kylo fight. There's a lot to talk about how TFA and TLJ portrayed Rey's Force abilities that aren't about that single fight. Because where's the logic of revealing what happened with Luke and Kylo at the Jedi Temple to one who was actually there when it happened? ... Jakku would be convoluted and make it ridicutlously coincidental even for a Star Wars movie. The child trainees were not in the tent with Kylo and Luke. Mind wipes and brainwashing are part of canon, so it wouldn't be particularly hard to explain why Rey didn't remember Kylo. Jakku would be no more or less of a coincidence than it already is. There also was a hint that Kylo knew a Force-sensitive girl was out in the world in TFA in his reaction to hearing about a girl on Jakku. (I also disagree that Abrams laid out a mystery between Luke/Kylo's interactions specifically--to me the mystery was how Snoke got his hooks into Kylo and what exactly the Knights of Ren are. Neither of which Johnson addressed.) She's not overpowered but, her powers were over developed for someone with no training and no previous use. She pretty much went from what's this force thing you speak of to Jedi Knight in 2 seconds. Yes, this exactly. I like your substitution of "over developed" and will use that from now on for clarity's sake. Untrained Force-sensitive children using the Force intuitively in certain situations is canon. Untrained Force-sensitive children intentionally using the Force with the control and power that Rey showed is not. 3 Link to comment
Morrigan2575 April 21, 2019 Share April 21, 2019 (edited) 13 hours ago, Perfect Xero said: I've said it before in some of the other Star Wars threads, but I'll say it here too since Rey's seemingly advanced abilities have come up: my theory after watching TFA a half dozen times is that Rey is the reincarnation of Anakin Skywalker. When we meet Maz in TFA she goes off on this speech about having been alive long enough to see the same eyes in different people. Anakin's Lightsaber (which Maz sas for some reason) and Obi-Wan's voice calls out to Rey. I don't even feel like the connection is particularly subtle. This is why Rey seems so skilled compared to her level of training, she's drawing on her past life as Anakin. Further I'd speculate that Rey doesn't have an actual biological father, and was born 'of the force' in the same way that Anakin was. Making Anakin her father in a sort of metaphysical sense. Rey and Ben embody the two side of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, and thematically TFA (and the NT) is the battle between the two sides of his legacy. Speculating on the Teaser, I'm thinking that Rey starts having some sort of flashbacks/visions of her life as Anakin/Vader, and that's where the Palpatine laugh comes from. This is brilliant! Does this make Rey/Anakin the promised one that would bring balance to the force? I know some say it was Luke (even Rebels) but, I always thought Anakin, since he killed off all the Jedi (except Obi-Wan and Yoda), leaving 2 Jedi and 2 Sith.

Definitely true, but the whole prequel series was about getting Anakin and Padme together to give us Luke and Leia, and they had already established Han and Leia as an overt couple in ESB, so in ROJ it was just building on what was already there and not much time had passed off screen between those two movies.

I know some say it was Luke but, I always thought Anakin, since he killed off all the Jedi (except Obi-Wan and Yoda), leaving 2 Jedi and 2 Sith. Thanks! I think that Rey/Anakin is indeed the Chosen One and The Force has spun The Chosen One back out into the universe to fight the rise of Snoke and Kylo Ren as the new Dark Side force users. Luke's role in the OT ended up being putting Anakin back on the right path rather than being "The Chosen One" himself. I disagree a bit on the balance thing. I think that in the first 6 films "balance" is supposed to be removing the Sith/Palpatine, The Force/"Light Side" is a balanced, healthy system and The Dark Side is like a disease of the Force that throws the balance out of whack. So Anakin fulfilled his destiny and brought balance when he killed Palpatine, with the end of RotJ implying that Luke and Leia would rebuild things. The problem is that by wiping out almost all of the Jedi, and killing many of those politicians who stood up to Palpatine and the Empire Anakin ended up being the sort of 'cure' that nearly wiped out the immune system and severely weakened the body in the process. Which is what allowed Snoke and TFO to slide in. 1 Link to comment

Oh, definitely, I'm not pro-Sith either but the Jedi Order in PT was stagnant, compliant and refusing to change anything. They dismiss the return of the Sith as not possible because they would have "sensed it" rather then being shocked and trying to figure out what they should do and what went wrong. Who else could it possibly have been? Qui Gon was really the only one trying and no one was really listening to him. Obi Wan tells him if he stopped defying the council then he'd be on the council. Really? So if you go along with everything the council says you get to be on the council? What could possibly go wrong with that. The way they talk to Anakin when he's in the room? No, just tell him to his face that he won't be a Jedi because he's too old. Never mind that he'd been in slave his entire life and just left his mother back home still in slaved. Where was their compassion? They were so worry about following rules. That they stopped caring about anything else. Yoda's so worried about Anakin's training so you'd think he'd decide to train Anakin on his own or something. Nope, hand him over to a newly made Jedi knight who just lost his master and never spent any time on his own as Jedi. As much as I love Obi Wan he was just as much in TPM and AOTC following the rules as the Council. Although he does express concern about Anakin being a bodyguard to Padme to the council who then ignore him. But because Obi Wan and most of the Jedi were all raised the same way that meant none of them could fully understand Anakin. He was raised in slavery, had a mom who loved him and he loved her. If they did they would have helped him. And certainly not leave her still in slaved. Obi Wan completely dismisses Anakin's dreams in ATOC which turned out to be true because he doesn't understand. He is much better in ROTS. They dismiss Padme's suggestion that Dooku was behind the attack because he used to be a Jedi. Except Dooku is leading the Separatists against the Republic. That's way more then just having a different opinion from the Jedi. They are so afraid of the Dark Side. They don't even realize how afraid they are of the Dark Side. Yoda does at least in ROTS realized he failed and the book version does go in a little more to him realizing his failure. That he had been training the Jedi to prepare them to fight the previous battle against the Sith. He wasn't preparing them for anything new or present. He failed so badly. The Jedi under him and the galaxy paid dearly for it. 1 Link to comment

Anduin May 22, 2019 Share May 22, 2019 Vanity Fair article is up! A good read, but better pictures. I have thoughts, of course. Keri Russel is a helmeted bounty hunter. Bounty hunters lean towards the bad guys. Which is good, because as I already noted, the First Order are light on characters right now. They need the numbers. They have Richard E Grant too! You'd think the Doctor would be on the Resistance side. For shame. Animal-back charge against vehicles. Okay, so the Charge at Krojanty wasn't quite that, but it still wasn't a Polish victory. Rey, Chewie, and BB8 are on a vehicle. Looks similar to the one we saw Finn, Poe, and C3PO on in the teaser. Both of which look like they could be from Mad Max. Luke!

Wynterwolf May 22, 2019 Share May 22, 2019 (edited) Those Vanity Fair articles and picture are amazing and fascinating. Visually stunning. I am so ready to shift into Star Wars mode. This reality in particular, is something I hope JJ is able to incorporate effectively into his vision (from here). Quote When people talk about the new Star Wars movies, they tend to talk about how faithful they are to the originals. What’s harder to say is how exactly the new films are different—how movies like Skywalker keep their connection to the past while at the same time finding a way to belong to the world of 2019. Because regardless of whether or not Star Wars has changed since 1977, the world around it has, profoundly. “There’s a loss of innocence, a sense of innocence that existed in the 70s that I don’t think to any extent exists today,” Kennedy says. “I think that has to permeate the storytelling and the reaction to the stories and how they’re set up. It has to feel differently because we’re different.” We know things, as a people and as an audience, that we didn’t know back then. For example: back then it felt sort of O.K. to like Darth Vader, because even though he was evil he was also incredibly cool, and the kind of fascism he represented felt like a bogeyman from the distant past. But now fascism is rising again, which makes the whole First Order subplot look super-prescient, but it also reminds us that fascism is not even slightly cool in real life. “Evil needs to feel and look very real,” Kennedy says, “and what that means today may not be as black-and-white as it might have been in 1977, coming off a kind of World War II sensibility.” In the Star Wars–verse, Dark and Light are supposed to balance each other, but in the real world they just mix together into a hopelessly foggy, morally ambiguous gray.

Instead, he recalls, Lourd told him, “I want to be in scenes with her. I want it for my children when I have kids. I want them to see.” 2 Link to comment

It's cool seeing Keri Russell in her costume but I'm still puzzled as to why you have these amazing actresses (Keri, Gwendoline Christie and Lupita) and you decide to restrict their performances by covering up their faces.

Ravenya003 May 24, 2019 Share May 24, 2019 (edited) Fasten your tin-hat, because I've got a theory! Reading between the lines of that Vanity Fair article, I'm going to go out on a limb and say: Kylo murdered Rey's parents. First of all, JJ Abrams has already said that there's more to Rey's backstory than has been revealed. I don't think he'll retcon Johnson's decision to make her a nobody, but I do think Kylo was lying when he said they sold Rey for drinking money. It was a half-truth designed to make her join the Dark Side. In watching TFA, it's painfully clear that JJ originally meant for Rey and Kylo to have met previously. His "what GIRL?" response to hearing that the droid had escaped with a girl, to Rey's Force abilities growing stronger in his presence all pointed to her having been in Luke's Academy as a child, only to escape the massacre and forget the trauma (explaining why her powers came back to her so strongly after they re-met). Heck, in the fim's novelization, Kylo actually says: "so it IS you," when she pulls the lightsabre out of his reach. Of course, that theory went kaput with TLJ, BUT JJ could still work with Johnson's idea that Rey was born with preternatural Force abilities to balance out Kylo (which is a stupid idea, but we're stuck with it now). In which case, if Snoke and Kylo knew that such a person would come along, it makes sense that they would try to find her and kill her as a child. Then there's Rey's vision, which included the Knights of Ren and Kylo seemingly killing this random guy: What if that's Rey's father? And apparently this scene made another appearance in the footage at the latest Star Wars convention, suggesting it's important. If you look at the actual quotes from Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley in the article about their "maybe-bond" and that it "runs deeper than expected" (the writer tries to crouch it in romantic terms, but I still seriously doubt that Disney is going to hook up a teenage girl with the grown Space Nazi that's been terrorizing her for the past two movies) then it could be referring to this shared history in which Kylo and the KoR deliberately went out killing Jedi apprentices - including Rey's parents, who presumably managed to hide her on Jakku. Finally, there's an emphasis on parents in both actors' quotes. I roll my eyes at the idea that we're apparently meant to feel sorry for Kylo for having the coolest people in the galaxy as his mother and father, but this is the second time Daisy has made the claim that Rey is furious at Kylo for having had a loving family and then throwing them away, which is interesting. If the original trilogy had as its big twist the fact that the murderer of Luke's father was actually his true father, then there's a nice symmetry in Rey realizing that her great nemesis put her on the path she's on by hunting down and killing her parents. Also, there was a rumour a while back that Spoiler Rey would see a vision of her parents on a jungle planet. This was INCREDIBLY early speculation, and yet the promo pictures have revealed that a jungle environment DOES come into play at some point. It could take place at the same time Rey tearfully hugs Leia, having learnt the full truth about her parents. It fits together, but then I've been wrong before. And "subverting audience expectations" seems to be everyone's MO these days, whether or not it actually makes sense. Edited May 25, 2019 by Ravenya003 5 Link to comment
Wynterwolf June 11, 2019 Share June 11, 2019 This actually sounds really interesting! A new approach to the editing process (necessitated by the shorter time frame they had for filming and post production): Quote I had the DP right there to ask questions. If I needed a shot, or if J.J. decided we needed another shot, we would set up in a corner and get a green screen shot of something. Getting to know the cast and having them be comfortable with me, it was a really great way to understand what they were going through. Link to comment

Only thing I'll add is that it's more likely Rey's mother whom Kylo killed and her father is Luke. And it will finally explain/justify Luke's attack on a teenage boy. In ROTJ, he snapped when Vader threatened Leia. Some random vision about Kylo turning vaguely "evil" is one thing but a specific vision/prophecy of Kylo murdering his wife and child will make sense. And if Luke is convinced that Kylo succeeded, and that he (Luke) in fact catalyzed their deaths by attacking Kylo, it will go a great deal to explain his personality in TLJ.

VCRTracking June 28, 2019 Share June 28, 2019 (edited) From Vulture.com We Asked Daisy Ridley to Describe Adam Driver’s Big-ness, and Other Questions Quote In the new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker trailer, we see you and Carrie Fisher embracing, a tear running down your face. I know that that scene was compiled using unused footage from The Force Awakens, but do you remember the original context of that moment? I do! It’s not a million miles away from what this scene is. It was very sad. I found it very moving to watch it, because I do remember the original. And it’s a strange thing to do, for someone that’s not around anymore to be brought back to life. It’s eerie that it resonates so much with what the story is this time. It’s pretty amazing. Do you remember how you and Carrie discussed playing the scene? She was actually whispering, “This is a fucking long hug.” [Laughs.] I was trying to do my acting, like, “Oh my god, Carrie!” There wasn’t any discussion about what we were gonna do.
