Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker discussion thread (*** now contains spoilers ***)

There's been some rumors that the child may be linked somehow to the return of Palpatine since Dr Pershing (the doc after the baby) worked for the Imperials. The fan theories are a bit of a stretch, but it will be interesting to find out out how the child is linked to the Doctor and what his plans are

Does anyone know exactly when the Mandalorian takes place? Like how old is Rey at this point?

It's 5 years after the Return of the Jedi. So I don't think Rey would be born yet.

yeah, Rey was born 11 years after the Battle of Endor, or ~16 ABY in the Star Wars timeline, so she is a few years away from being born when the Mandelorian takes place

Spoiler

So she could be cloned partly from baby Y and /or Luke's hand yet, if that young guy has a clone scientist patch.]

“Baby Yoda” is the same age as Wilford Brimley in Cocoon.

Ah it finally dawned on me.

I'm thinking Poe might be Norm MacDonald's son, when he says "what are you doing there 3PO?".

I have been watching news and rumours on YouTube about this film about the reshoots and now several channels are saying the viewings on a latest screening (don't watch there are spoilers so beware) saying that half the screening viewers walked out of the screening it was that bad. It also mentioned jj Abrams has said its not finished production

There's people online who are making it their life's mission to sow fear, uncertainty, and doubt about new Star Wars movies and make people not want to see them. I really wouldn't pay it any mind.

Solo fired its directors midstream, had to recast a whole role for reshoots, and it still turned out to be one of the best movies in the franchise.

I feel like Yoda mentioned something about fear .....

Solo was just OK. It was far from one of the best movies in the franchise. It isn't even one of the top 2 Disney Star War movies.

Stuff like this makes me hate the internet.

Do not pay any attention to Geeks and Gamers. They hate Star Wars and want to see the sequel trilogy fail.

 

[Brianstl]

Are they over the top and is some of their criticism unfair at times? Yes. Do they hate Star Wars? No, in fact they seem to love the Mandalorian so far.

 

[nancipants]

They've led harassment campaigns against people who work on Star Wars. Anyone who uses SJW as a pejorative is not someone to pay attention to, IMO.

Regardless - are they even doing screenings for TROS now?

 

[Brianstl]

Edited to keep the thread on topic.

 

[rteetz]

Let’s stick to the topic of rise of skywalker not SJW or stuff like that.

 

[jade1]

Exactly on topic.

Was wondering if that is even possible as well. Has to be shelved and ready by now. So I assume no.

My advice to you would be to stop doing that.

I can't quite read what account this links to, but there are minority groups out there who are very vocal that only want to see this movie fail and they don't know anything other than how to complain and spread misinformation.
