I agree, but the problem is there won't be a 4th movie.

Overall the Sequel Trilogy is going to be a really disappointing series.

That's fine. I just don't want them to be linked to the OT or PT. The universe feels small enough as is. The message of "Greatness can come from anywhere" should be stuck with.

Its really stupid that they were made into nobodies tbh

Like, they dont need to be specific people, but VII set them up pretty obviously enough to be involved somehow with Kylo Ren and the destruction of Lukes temple. The story was not designed to facilitate the nobody twist and it really gained nothing by going that route.

Sequel trilogy is just fanfiction with money. It doesn't follow the creative outline so it's kind of pointless. Don't know why people treat it as seriously as they do. It's a lost cause.

After the trailer teased the emperor and Lando I'm convinced they're in full damage control mode for episode 9 and its just going to be references to the OT and backpedalling the episode 8 shit.

It's gonna be a fucking terrible movie.

Episode 7 just killed the series for me with how absurd and over the top it was, and the fact that just nothing really happened.

She literally does not know that for sure, and he was pushing her to believe it. Seems very easy to believe he was full of shit and attempting to demoralize her to make her rely on him.

Actually, they could easily spin this. Things went south between Kylo and Rey's parents so he insists they never mattered anyway.

Like an episode 3 deal except instead of "I haaaate yooou" it's "you are deaaaad to meeee"


Of course I have no idea how that works out time-wise but eh

The one that sticks out to me the most is the ease with which Kylo and Rey are able to communicate through the force. They make a point of mentioning how odd it is in the one movie and how neither of them really understands it.

I doubt it, but it would be hilarious since Vader's penis totally got burned up on Mustafar in Episode 3. I don't see how he'd have kids unless he used the force to impregnate her.
