>Ridley said: "At the beginning, there was toying with an Obi-Wan connection — there were different versions — then it really went to it was no one, and then it came to episode nine and JJ [Abrams] pitched me the film and was like 'Oh, yeah, Palpatine is granddaddy.'"
How does that even happen?
By making shit up as you go
Very obvious really no one should be surprised that they had no real plan
>purchase largest movie series ever made
>wing it
Why are the people with money and power soo absolutely fricking moronic?
There once was a young good producer who got old and lost her touch. It's like how Spielberg lost his touch.
>There once was a young good producer
there was once a girl that made coffee for the men in charge and somehow managed to "assist" them.
her career is based on her being close to actually talented people. now she is the one in charge everybody can see she was there for the coffee only.
By coffee you mean the GTA San Andreas kind of coffee, right?
It works for the marvel movies so they assumed it would work for Star Wars.
humiliation ritual
you just on autopilot at this point?
just a set of coincidences involving every single franchise, right bro?

Just because something is popular, doesn't mean it's good.
and I suppose you believe the people who bought star wars think that way too
I bought a ticket to Rise of Skywalker (the only Star Wars movie I've seen in theaters since the prequels), and was laughing at how shit it was in the theater. This was opening night and it was packed, and I wanted to see if the leaks were as bad as they had suggested (they were). I don't think the nu-Wars fans appreciated me cackling at how stupid everything was.
That's how JJ does everything. They didn't have anything figured out when Lost started. Shit just looked cooled and had mystery boxes.
You can't really blame JJ for LOST. He barely had anything to do with it beyond the initial creation. It was mostly Lindelof's thing
This anon knows what's up. Abrams is a hack who directs well but can't tell a story.
Rey Fridgerator could've been a real
She looks like that beer troon
How fricking corny is it that for this whole sequel trilogy, the writers’ main point of contention was ‘who’s gonna say ‘I am your father’ in this one?’, as if the point of star wars is finding out someone is your dad. They could have just not bothered, and wrote a new plot point, but instead they spent three movies trying and failing to re-engineer a parent twist just because the first trilogy had one
It’s about family
And you know what? That's beautiful!
you owe me a ten second pod
It's like poetry, it rhymes.
The second one was a fricking shitfest but at least they had the balls to make Rey's parents a couple of nobodies.
That was a refreshing change of pace. Not everyone has to be related to each other
Rey being no one at all was the best part about TLJ. Just a nobody who is just in tune with the force. If she was WAY powered down and actually needed training, it would have worked but her being so OP made everyone have to in canon link her to some shit
Star Wars fanboys b***hed about TLJ and Disney retconned the movie in an attempt to please them.
Dude frick off, don't try to paint the fans as the true children here when it is clear Disney is 100 times as child-like as them
If I order duck soup and the waiter brings me duck feces, I'd have every right to complain
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
>Rey's butt is bigger
>first Vader killed Luke's father, then he became Luke's father, then Leia became Luke's sister.
They needed Plapatine to return for that original trilogy nostalgia
How in the hell does Josh Gad have anything resembling a career?
>How in the hell does Josh Gad have anything resembling a career?
Do I really need to post this?
Star Wars used to be for everybody but KK turned it into Girl Coded crap that nobody wants.
Another fricked-up thing is, They only hired because they liked how she cried that's it.
They didn't take account how she looks like a funhouse mirror version of Jessica Harper.
It's how Disney does everything with these franchise movies now. Sam Raimi talked about how they were literally still writing and editing the script during filming and he'd be handed new pages the day of filming a scene with no way to plan for what's coming because nothing was finalized. It's also why the acting is shit, because none of the actors know their characters' motivations or how they should react to anything because it changes day by day as they film.
Although at the end of the day Raimi was sold to Disney so he shouldn't act surprised.
JJ knows how to mimic the form and structure of a story, but not its actual contents.
Can someone tell me who Smoke is? We saw him at the end of that one movie, and I never saw any of the others cause star wars is shit.
Yes. He was a homosexual who sucks his own wiener thats your mystery box reveal bro. I just saved you 7 hours of your life and you're very welcome
Some.. failed clone of Sheev, but had enough independence to do his own thing, kinda.
>Sheev
Another reason why Disney Wars blows dogs for quarters.
Sheev? I don't know who that is either lol. You're probably gonna be like
>Oh well that's the brother of splork
Sheev's the man.
He's the Senate.
I can fix (corrupt) her
Should've just left her as a nobody. With her parents former Empire loyalists or something.
We already had our new 'Skywalker' with Kylo Ren.
What is the point of these characters having family ties to each other? Disney is afraid to put characters that don't have any past references behind them.
>What is the point of these characters having family ties to each other?
JJ was aping the original trilogy once again. Luke being the son of Darth Vader was one of cinema's biggest twists back in the 70s/80s. Hollywood doesn't have anymore twists up its sleeve, so they just recycle shit endlessly now
Star wars is trash. I'm happy the star wars actors agree
who is that israeli blob on the left??
That’s good, otherwise Maul would have had to come back to life again and hunt her down
I really wonder what the pitch looked like
>Abrams "Hire me, I have no fricking clue what I'm doing, I have no story planned and I'm just going to wing it as I go"
>Disney "That's pretty good, but we're looking for a little bit more to really ensure this is a trainwreck of ideas"
>Abrams "Ok, ok. I know this guy named Ryan Johnson, he also has no idea what he is doing or any plan. We will hot potato the series back and forth. We wont talk to each other or plan anything out, we will both just wing it independently. Not only that but also we actively hate each other and will work against one another and do everything we can to create problems for each other"
>Disney "That's amazing, you get the contract!"
