The more upset the shill access media get over this, the better

Rey's parents being reverse retconned into important again would be the dumbest change. It will be eyerolling when we find out she's connected to Palpatine/Obi-wan/Luke, etc. Expect a "I'm your father" line from J.J. Abrams as a crappy nostalgia throwback in the movie.

Apparently 'Rise of Skywalker' means nothing. they just wanted a title that 'evoked emotion'.

god, these people are complete idiots.
supposedly at celebration, no one looked excited talking about ep 9 either.

[Leo656]

They have to try and fix all the mistakes from two movies in one "finale" AND remind anyone why they should still give a single sh*t about anything this franchise does going forward.

I don't think they have it in 'em, frankly.

On the plus side... Daisy Ridley, sweaty and breathing heavy. I could use a little more'a that in my life.

I did not know where to drop this, but I got a kick out of Mark Hamill's impression of Harrison Ford. It is approximately from 1:00 to 3:00.

If Rey did ever turn oit to be a Skywalker, I know one good thing will definitely come out of it: It will get rid of the gross Reylo shippers.

It is never that easy.

The ship will actually increase in popularity if that happens.

Nerds are terrible.

It isn't coming from a nerdy place. Once SJWs figured out that Rian Johnson was doing a big liberal agenda-based deconstruction of Star Wars -- and making Rey a "nobody" was a big part of that -- they're in lockstep with the whole thing.

i.e., redistribute all wealth so we're equally poor; if Rey is a nobody can lead a Star Wars film as an uber Jedi, then anyone can! And so on. Making her a Skywalker offends people in this way of thinking.

[Leo656]

Eh. Either way, insufferable.

This is it exactly.

These people aren't Star Wars nerds, they're Social Justice Extremists. (Not SJWs, which is #1 a cliche, and #2 not always a bad thing.) But they're willing to sacrifice story on the altar of public relations and cultural "importance", and THAT is the cardinal sin.

Rey could be awesome in good movies, like Princess Leia. Rey could be awesome in mediocre movies, like Prequel Obi-Wan. But instead, she's the holy icon in this PR back-and-forth with a terrible Star Wars movie as the battleground.

"OMG, women in leading roles! Horrible!" "OMG, men hate women in leading roles! Horrible!" And on and on.

At least Daisy Ridley is hot.

It doesn't hurt, that's for sure.

A couple of days ago Mark Hamill tweeted out a "missed opportunities" tweet that had a photoshopped pic of Luke/Leia/Lando/Han all together from their appearances in the sequel trilogy and yeah that's what everybody wanted to see, we all got goosebumps when we saw the trio reading the script together when EP7 was announced. And yet people with a political bias were still defending TLJ and calling Hamill wrong.

Like 3 days ago the official page tweeted out "Would you rather be in the Resistance or the First Order?" And politics found its way to the poll with users replying how those who voted for the first order were literal nazis and fascists. I guess comic conventions can now only have jedi and no figures of the bad guys can be had?

Kind of sucks that politics has spilled over so much into the media that we love. And man that photoshopped picture Mark Hamill tweeted, if only....in an alternate world where Lucas didn't sell Star Wars to diseny.

[newfan]

Yeah I saw the Hamill tweet, guy isn't allowed to miss his friends? A lot of people would have liked them all together again, doesn't make them trolls, some of them may even have liked the movies but still felt they would have loved that.

^I edited my post a little since I realized my main point was going to be missed and the likes of Vegita-San would go on rants for a few pages which doesn't help things.

Okay, deleted the quote part on mine.
Though my post came off from one angle with this particular thing, the issue is all round.
