I predict they will say they hate womans and black peopleI predict a thread on Ectetera once their review hits where folks are angry and ask why anybody still watches them
I'm walking out of the theater if that happens
Or people who hear what they say in context. Will bring those things up, because they're true.I predict people that only heard certain statements out of context will bring those up and derail the thread until it gets closed.

I like them but sometimes they say some sus stuff. I've yet to see a thread complaining about RLM on Era that was 100% baseless. How much benefit of the doubt you're willing to give them really boils down to how much you like the crew.I predict a thread on Ectetera once their review hits where folks are angry and ask why anybody still watches them
Rey will inventtime travel, and she and Kylo will go on a journey through all the scenes from the earlier movies.
But would Disney allow two of their biggest Franchises to have a time travel based conclusion in the same year?
How dare you! Do not try to corrupt the pure Yub Nub. 😆
Same :(Watching this informed me that the writer for BvS is helping with this. I haven't kept up with Star Wars news since I didn't really like TLJ but I want to finish the trilogy. I probably shouldn't have watched this video because it just made me sad.
I should probably point out, Zack Snyder's terrible "Man of Steel" was written by David S. Goyer (writer of Christopher Nolan's multiple award winning Batman trilogy) and Christopher Nolan (who apparently pushed Zack Snyder on WB as "the next Nolan").Watching this informed me that the writer for BvS is helping with this.

there's a less than zero percent chance that shit happens. it's way too dumb and contrived, and there's no way that Abrams would go full 'fuck it' and fly in the face of Rian Johnson like that. i don't doubt that the end of the trilogy will backrack on TLJ's commitment to being weird, but full-on retconning that stuff to do Star Wars Things is a level of cynicism even i as someone who doesn't care about/kind of doesn't like SW shit have a hard time imagining
IIRC, I saw an interview, or maybe it was some bits of interviews, or maybe it was just some fanboy conjecture, where they said that before they started on Episode 7, JJ Abrams had done his job properly and laid out a whole foundation for all three movies (which is unusual for JJ "Mystery Box" Abrams, who usually doesn't have an ending, and thinks the anticipation is better than the release), but then when Disney got Rian Johnson to direct Episode 8, they gave him permission to deviate from JJ's path as much as he wanted and make the movie really his own, so he upended several of JJ's plotlines with zero regard for what Episode 9 was going to do (because Episode 9 isn't Rian's problem, all he needed to do was make Episode 8 the movie he wanted).
And then JJ was brought back for Episode 9, and he said that his plan was to steer things back towards his original Episode 9 ideas. Like, Palpatine is presumably coming back because Snoke was JJ's no-brand Palpatine knockoff, but then Rian killed Snoke ahead of schedule, and JJ still needed Snoke for whatever JJ's purpose is, but if he's going to bring Snoke back to life, he could just as easily bring back the superior original. Rey had the thing about her parents, and Rian tossed that out the window, so JJ might just bring it back and say that Kylo Ren was lying. Kylo is symbolically fixing his helmet, because Rian got rid of it, while JJ presumably still needed it for something. If the Rebels need more than 25 people riding around in the Falcon, JJ will probably just pull some reinforcements out of his butt. If Luke needed to be around for the third movie, then yeah, JJ might bring him back as a Force Ghost or something. If Luke/Anakin's blue lightsaber was really important, and Rian carelessly exploded it, JJ could just have Rey "fix it" offscreen. It could be interesting to see JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson playing tug-of-war over the direction of the movies in this trilogy.
But then, JJ might have realized that pulling the trilogy back to his intended ending might be too difficult, so... "f*** it". Do something crazy. I'm all for that. It could be glorious. And if it crashes and burns, that's fine. I'm not so deeply invested in Star Wars that I need Star Wars movies to be good.
Edit: Maybe JJ saying "f*** it" means JJ tossing out the ideas for his original ending, and crafting a new ending that builds upon Rian's work.
while i recognize the plausibility, i also totally reject it. this would be the thing that might turn me from 'i passively pay attention to this' to pure nerd outrageHonestly, at this point I don't think that anything is off the table. I don't like Star Wars either but I can't deny the original trilogy's appeal and effect on generations of people. Nobody seems to care about the new trilogy beyond seeing familiar things, I highly doubt that people will be buying Kylo, Rey and Poe action figures in a few years.
This is why Mike's theory isn't totally crazy: Disney may be looking for a way to rewind the clock closer to the original trilogy timeline. Episode IX doing a Days of Future Past is unlikely but not totally out of the question.
hell i'll avatar bet there won't be time travel in the new one if that's still a thing
again, i refuse to believe it will get that terrible. i know this isn't part of the bet, but since you've quoted me, i'm issuing my own challenge; if there's any time travel bullshit in the new SW, i'll get Riker's beard tattooed onto my ballsackMan I don't know, I would never bet against Mike and Rich. They seem to have a deep understanding of Hollywood hack screenwriting. I wouldn't bet against them even if they predicted that Thanos would show up in Episode 9.

I'd honestly kinda love it
I want to see the satanic death cult Ewoks and I want to see the McDonalds happy meal that comes with them!
It's really sad how Lucas first and then Disney ruined SW... It's a meme at this point.
Really sad if you think about the brilliant original trilogy which is full of amazing moments that will never be forgotten.
I think TLJ is more hated than Episode 1 and 2 at this point but maybe it's because internet is much more mainstream now.I wonder which series will be looked upon more favorably in ten or so years. The prequel trilogy or the new trilogy?
The new one, but the prequels are more memorable and always will be... mostly because they are so bad and because of their time in history. I doubt there will be many discussions about the new trilogy at all, it will be overshadowed by whatever is out then, good or bad. Nobody really talks about TFA and TLJ is only relevant because of the controversies. When that finally dies down it will be forgotten.I wonder which series will be looked upon more favorably in ten or so years. The prequel trilogy or the new trilogy?
