It was a joke on how you get accused here for criticizing shit ST characters or RJs work on TLJ.Wait, what? All I meant was that Star Wars is a space fairy tale at its heart and RJ wanted to deconstruct that fairy tale. How is this alt-right?

Am I the only one that thinks that the moniker Skywalker is going to replace Jedis as those who train in the force?
What's even the significance of Rey taking on the Skywalker name if this is the last we're ever gonna see the character anyway?

I mean yes ms ridley but i don't think it's supposed to happen after every living member of that family dies.
Rogue One had characters? I thought they were paper mache figurines.If you think Rogue One's characters are more 2D than the prequels', I don't think I put much stock in your opinion.
I don't love Solo but it didn't bomb critically. Also - financially? Who gives a shit? If you think a film's box office takings have any bearing on its quality, you're a sucker. Blade Runner 2049 made $130 million less than Solo and is an all time genre classic.

It's not hard to draw a line from the original Star Wars to a protest of the Vietnam war that was on the mind of every American in the 70s.
does JJ abrams have any kind of voice or pet themes or anything to say? He seems to be the one pop filmmaker who specializes in mimicry. You'll get Polished competence and not an ounce more.

Incredibly depressingJJ is definitely one of the most superficial directors working around.
Trevorrow's Episode IX sounds hilarious. Rey and Ben grow up together and then completely forget each other for some reason. Isn't that a twist from Final Fantasy VIII? lol
Or being loved and cared for by a completely different family that just so happens to have a less marketable last name
All those people going "i'm glad the old EU is gone it was all hot trash"
TFA heavily implied Kylo did NOT forget Rey, the novelization more so.

You all wish Luuke would show up now don't you ;)

Because they're making Episode X sooner or later ?What's even the significance of Rey taking on the Skywalker name if this is the last we're ever gonna see the character anyway?

Probably the reason why Ben isn't killed on screen too. Episode X is going to happen.
Surprised nobody's posted daisy Ridley saying she has no privilege compared to John boyega
I'd... need the full context. I think that's a very nuanced and delicate issue.
I ask if she thinks it has been easier to be confident and navigate her celebrity because of the privilege in her life – of boarding school, her upbringing and so on? Ridley is suddenly incredulous.
"The privilege I have – how? No, genuinely, how?"
Well, I say, in terms of wealth, class, education – that kind of privilege, in knowing how to decode the rules in certain spaces. As a caveat, I add that both of us have privilege, and it's not a criticism; I was simply curious to know what she thought. Things take an awkward turn.
"Well no, because, no… " There is a very long and tense pause, before she insists that, actually, there is little difference between her experience and that of her co-star John Boyega, who grew up in south London to British Nigerian immigrant parents. "John grew up on a council estate in Peckham and I think me and him are similar enough that… no." I don't point out that members of Ridley's family were establishment figures (her grandfather, John Ridley OBE, was head of engineering at the BBC from 1950 to 1965; his brother was the Dad's Army actor and playwright Arthur Ridley), while Boyega had to apply for a hardship fund to join Theatre Peckham.
"Also," she adds, "I went to a boarding school for performing arts, which was different." (Her publicist later calls to clarify that Ridley won a scholarship.)
But surely nine years of private education gave her some additional confidence?
"No." Ridley leans on her elbow while twirling a small knot in her hair. "No. I think, also, it has taken me a little while to be OK with it. I was always fairly confident, and I think that comes from being part of a big family who are all quite chatty."
It's an unexpectedly defensive detour, as if the mere mention of privilege is an attempt to diminish Ridley's hard work or talent. I try to change the subject but get the distinct feeling that her publicist, sitting behind me in Ridley's eyeline, has made some sort of silent intervention. "I'm not saying what you're saying is wrong," Ridley adds. "I've just never been asked that before, so I'm like, oh. I don't think so." We move on.
TBF, the old EU clones were different characters too - the Emperor was the exception because it was his spirit possessing clones (and the drive behind the story was that he couldn't keep doing it forever, as each clone degraded faster than the last).Lucas: "Clones are cliché, so in Star Wars they're basically cheap labor or soldiers, not a lazy way to replace characters for free, to make sure of that I'll even make a show that has clones having vastly different personalities than their original"
EU: "What if the Emperor just came back as a clone over and over?"
JJ: "I'll take option number 2"
JJ is definitely one of the most superficial directors working around.
Lol Jesus these people lack all self awareness
A name Lucas would be proud ofHe's a clone of the legendary Darth Mystery Boxivus from the planet Justgowithit.
Honestly this trilogy has been such a waste of Sheeve. It's basically the only route they could have taken for a mass market property after TLJ left them with deliberately forced resolutions that flattened the current dialectic context beyond use, but... damn.

Thats too random. Everything in the star wars universe needs to be directly tied to the OT in some capacity.He's a clone of the legendary Darth Mystery Boxivus from the planet Justgowithit.
Does J.J. even use them properlyI'm still not sure why RJ outright cast them aside. It really seems like his primary interest was only Rey/Kylo/Luke and he invented a bunch of busy work (relying on some very straightforward Dramatica software stuff) for everything else.
Thanks man :)Went ahead and posted it for you dude. Thanks for the heads up.
And she also said the meaning of the title becomes clear in the end of the movie
