Mattris 416 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 This 'Snoke time manipulation' theory would explain why JJ Abrams is re-purposing cutting room floor footage of Carrie Fisher for Episode 9, which could begin during the events of The Force Awakens... with the story deviating from what happened in TLJ. This 'time travel fail-safe' introduced in Star Wars: Rebels allows them an out from the currently-unfolding disaster they find themselves in. The fans (and Disney shareholders) can only hope they will be so bold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nick1Ø66 4,689 Posted October 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2018 Dunno. Far out prediction: Star Wars won’t go the time travel route. These kind of solutions to painting yourself into a corner plot wise are generally reserved for Star Trek. In fact introducing time travel would be less respectful of Star Wars legacy than anything that happened in TLJ.

It always has been very straight-forward and plain with regards to how it lets the story unfold. Over eight films, we had exactly one flash-forward (during Revenge of the Sith, to an event later in that film) and one flash-back (in The Force Awakens, to an event prior to the film's beginning, revisited three times in The Last Jedi). I doubt we'd go from that (very basic) narrative structure to anything signifcantly more sophisticated, come IX. The reason Abrmas is cannibalizing footage of Carrie Fisher, is to have her in the movie; ignoring the droids and with Luke dead, she is the only living character to act as a throughline for the series. This most likely (and regrettably) means that she would be confined to a headquarters of some sort, monitoring the action. That's what she did in The Force Awakens, and more importantly - that's about the only kind of the footage that you could slap unto another film without it feeling too out-of-place.

crumbs 14,301 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I guess they'll rotoscope out her head/face and place it on a digital body. Just a hunch about how they'll handle it.

Mattris 416 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Did you watch Star Wars Theory's video? Time travel is now 'a thing' in Star Wars. Why would Supreme Leader Snoke, his Dwartii/Mustafar ring, the Dark Side Sculptor, and the World Between Worlds have been introduced if not to be utilized in final film of the Saga? Considering the MAJOR effects of TLJ backlash, Ep. 9 essentially retconning Ep.8 - with Snoke and Luke Skywalker (and possibly Han Solo) returning in the flesh - would be just the bold move Disney needs to re-energize the franchise... and make a shit ton of money.* Honestly, I don't see how they do it otherwise. (Bringing back Lando and Force ghost Luke will not be enough.) This theory would also explain why Kathleen Kennedy was given a contract extension: After her troubles as President of Lucasfilm**, Bob Iger knows new leadership is needed. But he (and Hollywood, in general) wants her to leave a high note. Allowing JJ to pull out all the stops - by using 'Snoke time manipulation' - would do the trick. * comic book and Star Wars: Rebels Blu-ray sales would sky-rocket ** firing/replacing multiple directors... often deep into production, Solo's massive financial loss, TLJ breaking the fandom, allowing employees to bad-mouth fans, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Demodex 557 Posted October 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2018 Ugh. Time travel in SW would be awful. Nothing in TLJ needs retconned or fixed.

What's so great about McGregor's Obi Wan, anyway? He's just doing an "okay" job in the midst of poor performances, which makes him stand out. Being the winner of a snail's race doesn't make you quick. Oh, well. Than again, I don't judge a movie by the lead actor or actress, but by the story and the execution of the screenwriter, and director, first and foremost.
