Keri Russell joins 'Star Wars: Episode IX'
- Thread starter ZeoVGM
- Start date
Maybe "undone" is the wrong word, but he clearly went in a different direction from what TFA set up. J.J might now do the exact same again
While it makes sense that ANH didn't have the father/sister part planned, doesn't Vader only sense Luke after Obi-Wan has started training him?
The fact that a Jedi is named Teminri Blagg has got me thinking this maybe real. We all know that stupid Jedi names are a trademark of Star Wars.
And co-written by Chris Terrio, who we know would never, ever write something silly and stupid surrounding someone's parentage (ahem).
Temiri Blagg is the name of the kid in TLJ

It's actually the name of the kid at the end of VIII per supplementary materials.
JJ left many things in TFA purposefully vague to allow them wiggle room for the sequels. That's why we got all the crazy speculation about Rey being a Skywalker, a Kenobi, a Palpatine, a clone etc. Same with Luke's absence and Snoke. He left it all open for the next person to run with.
Fair. Which is why if he does make her rey's mother we can say the same thing.
I wouldn't be worried, I'm sure JJ has had his mind made up about Rey's background since before TFA released
I assume you're referring to Rey's parents, in which case I would have to disagree. The film leaves it completely open-ended and it could even be argued that it points towards them being nobody, with Rey being urged to stop waiting for them to come back.
Larry Kasdan is still involved so I don't think we need to worry too much.
Why am I JUST NOW learning that this piece of shit hack is involved?
How does the moron who co-wrote BvS and Justice League keep getting work!?
I have NO FAITH in IX anymore. NONE.
As I said before, im not particularly against her being Rey's mother or existing in the film. I just think the jump to that as the immediate conclusion is quite silly.
You sure about that? Because The Hollywood Reporter seems to disagree: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/han-solos-2018-spotlight-will-839114
Sure, that was back in 2015, but I don't see any source saying he has reconsidered.
To be fair, he shared writing credits on both those films, while for Argo, which was pretty okay, he was the only credited writer. He won an Academy Award for it, so that's why he keeps getting work.
Still, that he wrote enough of those films to get credit is enough to give pause.
I can no longer hold that as a good thing either. I mean, I liked Solo. But, it was just a fun romp. There wasn't a whole lot of depth or even really amazing creativity on display. And, TFA was retread mediocrity. The only thing I'm hoping is that he'll make sure Finn is properly beefed up. But man, I just don't know. Terrio is a complete hack and JJ doesn't exactly inspire confidence with me. This movie really needs to stick the landing and Rian has given them a complete blank slate to do so, yet I feel like they'll still screw it up somehow. Or rather they'll go back to the basics and make ROTJ 2.0 dooming the franchise into safety.
Argo was based on a true story. It's hard to get off track and write complete nonsense when you have an actual, clear historical guide to follow.
What if Ep 9 is about Sunsucker base
Which is 70x bigger than star killer base
You know, like poetry

Not just Rey's parents. We recently learned that J.J actually wanted to turn Luke into some Jedi Superman, so he had some thoughts about the future episodes. It wouldn't surprise me if he had different plans for Rey as well
This was all before either film was released, J.J. got the point and loved it, he's not retconning it. If anything, we'll get the equivalent of this scene:

And even with that, there was a lot of controversy surrounding Argo's script, with Canadian officials pretty much denouncing the movie for minimizing the role of the Canadians during the event the film is based on and giving an unfair amount of credit to the CIA.
I'm not particularly excited, I'm expecting a similar movie to TFA. Slick but slightly stale. JJ will maintain Johnson's path for the characters but not attempt anything too ambitious.
TFA - Rey doesn't know who her parents are and is in denial about them coming back for her.
TLJ - Rey knew all along her parents were nobodies who abandoned her. She just buried that truth which lead to her denial.
Do you not see how those things lead into each other?
There's nothing to course correct. JJ set it up in a way for it to go anywhere.
Kerri Russel use to remind me of the Noxema girl, so definitely love her.
Can't wait to see what she delivers in the film, great actress.

I agree to an extent, however it is still not that easy to write something compelling. I think there are plenty of examples that show just how easy is to get off track when writing about real events however. I think Argo's screenplay was reasonably strong in any case.
It may also be worth noting Snyder's creative influence on his films from a story perspective, I think most people would be willing to considered him an auteur, even if he wasn't credited for the screenplay. For those films, I don't think you can really pin the issues, which are pretty consistent with and inherent to Snyder's work, on the writing.
But again, Chris Terrio still played some part in crafting those turds, so my expectations are not coming from a good place. I do not like that a straight line could be drawn from those films to IX.
love it, the dumbest shit comes out of SW, official or not
I'm inclined to think if they go the Rey's Mom route Kylo was speaking half-truths. Her parents are nobodies but they are alive.
I don't recall this being confirmed. If this is based on what kylo said it's strange were taking the word from a character proven to be an unreliable narrator.
