Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 According to scientific research, more and more people are viewing Godzilla as an actual god. This movie will be bigger than Ben Kenobi. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you read any of them? Are you aware that Palpatine personally set-up a "Contingency" plan on Jakuu... and outposts in the Unknown Regions (where Snoke originated). I'll give you a hint: I've never watched a Star Wars film before 2015. Quote In Episode III, Palpatine said, "It's ironic. He [Darth Plagueis] could save others from death but not himself." He was bragging to Anakin and already knew how to cheat death. He was doing just that - laughing at the irony. He was insinuating anything further than that. Quote I'm meant characters that could link all three trilogies in a significant way. That's not enough. There needs to be more than recuring characters. There needs to be some story thread, some conflict from the original six films which has not been resolved prior to or during Return of the Jedi. The unfortunate fact of the matter is that there isn't one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,499 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 7 minutes ago, Mattris said: Luke put his life on the line, hoping that his father's love would turn him to the Light. Anakin's sacrifice did just that and saved his son... not "fucking irrelevant" in the slightest. And if Palps comes back now after Luke's dead, they collectively achieved nothing. And of course in the Plaugeis scene he's just reveling in the irony and enjoying the fact that he killed his master. Nothing more to it than that.

Chen G. 3,944 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 To @Mattris' credit, his is no worse a theory than the one I stumbled upon some time ago,1 which speculates that some invading force from outside the Galaxy - hitherto completely not set-up by any film in the series - would force the Resistance and the First Order to join forces. Terrible idea, that. _____________________________ 1 https://screenrant.com/star-wars-9-real-villain-rey-kylo-theory/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think I simply misspoke (mis-typed) when I made my original observation? Maybe it's that you don't want accept the point I was trying to make. Or is it that you honestly think I don't understand the films and their relation to each other? An even better question: Why won't we stop arguing? "This bickering is pointless!"
