Episode IX Speculation and Discussion

[Awesome Possum]

I was initially wary of ROS due to the return of a certain old foe - the sequel trilogy has been about the journey of the new characters, and it's their story - but I am becoming more and more intrigued with each passing day as to where this can go.

On toxic fans, I have unfortunately had more than my fair share of run-ins with them, both with Star Wars and Star Trek. Some fans unfortunately think they can dictate who qualifies as fans, based on their own fan-interpretations and narratives.

Some fans think that certain franchises belong to them (mostly white men with a very narrow and misguided view on other kinds of people) and only them. They want to force out everyone else, even though those other fans have always been there. There have always been fans who weren’t white, female fans, and LGBTQ fans. Now those franchises are letting those fans see themselves on screen for the first time and the toxic fans aren’t happy. Fuck them, we were always here and we aren’t leaving. Neither are the white guys who aren’t threatened by people of color, women, LGBTQ people, or anyone else who is different and making them look bad. They need to either get over it or leave because they are the ones who aren’t welcome.

A new special look aired during the AMAs last night. I don't think there's any new footage, but it's still pretty cool.

This morning on Good Morning America JJ Abrams confirmed that the movie is finished.
I thought the clip was fun, and even if the way the Stormtroopers were launch into the air is a little goofy, I still liked it.

I love seeing the passion of the production teams. So fun.

:54 into that video! Lin-Manuel Miranda cameo sighting!

 

[Awesome Possum]

Looks like he’s playing a Resistance fighter. I’m guessing it’s just a cameo, but I hope he gets some dialogue.

 

[Campe]

That'd be awesome. He did one of the numbers at Maz's in TFA. He and JJ must be buds.

On GMA this morning, JJ Abrams admitted than an unnamed cast member forgot their script under the bed at their hotel, and that was how it ended up getting onto e-bay. According to article a Disney employee saw it and bought it when it went up on Ebay, so as far as they know it shouldn't have spread to widely.

episode 9 should end with Luke (alive) getting his power converters

Nope. I am hoping they keep retcons to an absolute minimum.

Yeah, that dialogue is...something.

It’s a major improvement.

The real question is... Is this the worst line of dialogue ever in a major movie?

Probably not as long as Battlefield: Earth exists.

It’s not even close. Battlefield Earth has a whole movie full of worse ones.

 

[Campe]

It’s still pretty bad.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

Nope. I am hoping they keep retcons to an absolute minimum.

first.. I was kind of joking. Secondly.. if they gave him his power converters at the end of the film, how is that a retcon? Do you know what a retcon is?

 

[Campe]

That’s not the retcon he was talking about. ‍

The Rise of Skywalker ties with A New Hope as the shortest movie in the saga.

A New Hope is 2 hours and 5 minutes. Don’t know where they got their run time from. The bigger bit of news in your link is that TRoS is completed.
