Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker Announced; Official Teaser Trailer

Considering how much he regretted not being able to direct Rian's script, it is possible.
...but not likely.
Oh? That's good to know. I didn't catch it all so I was worried for a bit! 🤣
Looks like Snoke laid out at least parts of the titles of all 3 movies during his first conversation with Kylo and Hux during TFA.
'There has been an awakening.'
'The droid will soon be delivered to the Resistance... Leading them to the Last Jedi'.
'If Skywalker returns, the new Jedi will rise.'
Also, I like how the trailer has the same text 'Every generation has a legend' which is how the Episode 1 teaser trailer started.

I would 100% be down for another long Star Wars, but personally I always got the feeling JJ is principled as all heck on this sort of thing. Like, that he would be willing to trim it to within an inch of it's life to keep it moving at a breezy clip and leave you wanting more, even if it's at the expense of keeping everything perfectly neat. It's how all his other films have been, so I can't imagine he'd suddenly take the time to indulge here.
Of course, I kinda hope I am wrong.
Yeah, he said that only Ray knew that he was playing Sidious in TPM, meaning Ray Park.
Agreed. It was most apparent during the rathrar sequence which almost immediately segues into landing on Maz Kanata's planet - I wish there had been an extended scene of Han, Rey and Finn just sitting and chatting on the Falcon instead. Like the equivalent scene from ANH.

.....Do it.
I want a long Star Wars movie, and considering Rise of Skywalker is the conclusion to 8 films, it almost seems necessary.

I was originally jazzed to hear that TLJ was 2 and a half hours long, but I actually think you could shave 20-30 mins off that film and improve the pacing a fair bit. Likewise, I hope TROS' runtime is appropriate to the story they want to tell. Longer isn't always better.
I hate all of the theories in here because by nature of the series they're based on, they have to be really stupid to even be plausible.

The reason for this is because Palpatine wasn't supposed to appear until Episode IX originally. George got exhausted by ANH and ESB and decided to just cram all the plot of the remaining movies into RotJ, hence why Leia became his sister (the original sister was a girl named Nellith) and why Palpatine shows up and dies.
I considered that but I don't think that's what he was saying. He says "we'll never see any of those [outlines]" now "based on what he's said now", I assume that being no sequel trilogy. That doesn't sound like because the outline was changed in the early 1980s.
And I wonder if the Emperor's theme in this scene at 1:45 had more purpose than we might have thought.
Man what if Snoke was just like a meat puppet for palpatine that he possessed to run shit from a distance or something to avoid any more vader chasm moments
Maybe not word for word micromanagement but still a loose form of mind control or brain washing
And maybe putting that kind of dark side pressure on a guy physically fucks him up over time which is why he looks like acid bath adam scott
Something I have been thinking about as well. A failed broken clone that was held together by dark energies of the Force. But with a memory wipe - Palpatine would never let a broken version of himself walking around like that.
I like this idea. Snoke was a failed clone that developed its own personality, resenting his purpose and taking over the FO to do his own thing.
Didn't Lucas once said that Skywalker is actually a very common name in the Galaxy? (to explain why Luke kept his name despite the hiding from Vader)
He's a 7ft tall alien, so that would be quite dumb but by Star Wars retcon standards it's on the less egregious end of the scale.
It could mean that besides Bigger Luke there is also a Bigger Sheev.
To be fair, that same main evil took over the entire galaxy with the help of a "Skywalker" in the spawn of 6 (9?) movies.
In hindsight, this saga is pretty much about Palatine's rise to power. And if we go even deeper, he is the progenitor of the entire Skywalker family line o_O
It was that conversation that made me expect this film to be titled 'The New Jedi' in the title guessing thread 😭
If we are going to reference George Lucas' previous plans and how they might influence Ep 9, remember that Lucas' original idea for the sequel trilogy was for all the movies to take place in a microscopic world where midichlorians were actually tiny people who somehow determined the fate of the Star Wars Galaxy or something like that.
Not really, since the real threats against him are mostly a handful of people at any given time.
Also having Palpatine existing all this time makes Luke quite ridiculous (at very least for not sensing there's something dark out there). Makes Darth Vader sacrifice useless. Makes Han Solo sacrifice useless. Makes a lot of things really questionable from RotJ, TFA and TLJ.
man...this is gonna be like the spider-man clone saga, isn't it?
Everyone's a clone right now.
French title is "L'ascension de Skywalker" which translate to figuratively the climb (rise) of Skywalker. And it's singular and very specific.

The movies already focus on a single family.
You just reminded me of my favorite fan theory pre-AotC, where it turns out that "Darth Vader" is in fact a clone of Anakin who turns bad and kills him, thus making both Vader's and Obi-wan's statements in the OT true: Vader is Luke's father AND he killed Luke's father...
