I bet they're going full Indiana Jones and Rey and Kylo, as the most powerful people in the galaxy, are now locked in a race to find the most Jedi/Sith artifacts. The Death Star II is one of the stops along the way and the Emperor's ghost features there. I wouldn't be at all surprised if several other legacy characters return as ghosts as well. In fact, I bet the Emperor is a red herring and someone like Anakin or Obi-Wan will feature more prominently. The concept art book for TFA (the same book with the underwater Death Star stuff) discusses the idea of Anakin's ghost retaining both light and dark aspects of his personality. Disney may not have a great track record so far, but a good writer could do a lot with that idea.

He killed Palpatine to save his son, but his son became a miserable old man who died because he ran out of force battery, and then Palpatine just came back... So Disney are now trying to destroy the meaning and power of the original trilogy. Thanks Kathleen. Thanks Rian. Thanks J.J. It's great. You haven't lived life if you haven't faced your most prized moments turning into pointlessness. Frankly you sound like a 10 year old. The mythological forefathers of Star Wars have always been about the endless, pointless struggle and this idea that your deeds matter, and speak volumes about you, especially in the face of pointlessness.

Ollie 1,059 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Movies, like ROTJ, can have positive endings were everyone lives happily ever after. It’s allowed. These new films make the original trilogy feel useless now. But Vader’s redemption was a bad way to end it so it doesn’t matter now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and I suspect they really would end the trilogy with some binary sunset scene, because ROTS did it so why can't TROS copy that. Given it's Disney, they'll probably literally copy and paste Binary Sunset from ANH. It'll be so meta and crappy. But we'll get another Binary Sunset + End Credits track so...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I don’t understand why the original trilogy is useless. Casting the end of ROTJ as a victory but not happily ever after, a momentary triumph, does not rob it of power. It might change how the ending is perceived , but not necessarily for the worse.
