I agree it's likely that Skywalker becomes a title.

Fuck, I hope that's right.

Also "Jedi" not "Jedis", unless you also say moosen.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Trailer looked ok. Lando is fucking old. Hopefully it can rescue the franchise from Johnson's clusterfuck.

There was wreckage of the Death Star in the trailer. So I'm guessing we're going to either Endor or Yavin IV. Though with the Emperor in the picture we might be on Endor. Then again, Yavin IV had those temples ...

And what would they want from the debris? Kyber crystals?

I'm guessing Tattoine for the desert scenes and Endor at the end, probably to defeat a resurgent Emperor. I guess the galaxy is a pretty small place after all.

Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker

Trailer is out today.

So does that mean that Rey really is a Skywalker?  It looks like Kylo Ren rebuilds his mask.  Is that the Emperor we hear cackling at the end?

So is JJ Abrams just going to reverse all the narrative changes that Johnson made in 8?

Kylo Ren is a Skywalker too.

Not a fan about the Emperor showing up. It seems lazy.

Billy Dee Williams is 82.  He is fucking old.

Twice now they've swerved on whether Ren can be "saved": first with his father, then again with Rey.  Doing it a third time just wouldn't seem right.

If they want to give closure to the story, he's headed to a redemption of some kind.

You're the screenwriter, but why does his end have to be redemption?  Luke may have given him the final push to the dark side, but it's clear now that he has chosen his path.

In fact why does there have to be an "end" at all?  I know this is the end of this trilogy, but Disney will want to re-visit Star Wars again, so why kill off one of your most interesting current characters?

I doubt Adam Driver wants to do any more of this crap.

I honestly can't think of another way - the main dramatic thrust has been Kylo and Rey's relationship, and they won't finish the trilogy without a payoff for it. And evil has to be defeated etcetera.

I think Disney spent all the "we're going to be cute with dramatic clichés" allowance in the middle film, and this is going to be really safe.

Why?  He seems to be doing reasonably well in his movie career besides Star Wars (unlike Daisey Ridley who *checks google* has really only done voice work and only one movie outside of Star Wars).  Driver seems like he's having fun with the role.  Give it a break of a few years and why wouldn't he want to return (plus get another mountain of cash thrown at him)?
