Arpy 4,145 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 The shot of Rey and Kylo both destroying Vader's helmet is pretty damning to me that they'll work together to destroy Palpatine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpy 4,145 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Speculation out there that she's holding some ancient Jedi/Sith dagger relic which may be linked to how Palpatine survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,526 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Anyone else really bothered by the intercut of these two starkly differently lit shots? We go from another one of those bleh looking shots (same as the ones before it) with fake looking sunlight splotches to a pretty good-looking wide with darker richer more greeny greens.

Chen G. 3,949 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Meh, the colour grading on trailers is often very different to the actual film. I don't know if we can draw any conclusions from it. Arpy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought, too. But I think, after having established this great rivalry between the two characters, and the villainy of Kylo Ren, it'd be a huge cop-out to have them settle their differences in any way.

In the Prequel trilogy it was the Dark Side that prevailed. In the Original trilogy the Light Side won. Does it not stand to reason that for the third one both sides would stand together?

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I'm pretty sure the jungle planet is new @Luke Skywalker. Looks a lot more tropical than Endor. I think when people refer to Endor they mean the water planet holding the remains of Death Star II, which still baffles me that it's that much intact- the explosion always made it seem like there's nothing left, just a bunch of stardust.

It’s probably supposed to be Endor, but JJ Abrams wasn’t going to settle for some unimpressive shots of the California woodlands a-la Return of the Jedi, so he went bigger and more exotic. Can’t blame him. 5 hours ago, Stefancos said: It actually makes sense. In the Prequel trilogy it was the Dark Side that prevailed. In the Original trilogy the Light Side won.

Fabulin 3,511 Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 The more is revealed, the more worried I am about the quality of this film. I just rewatched TLJ. Every time I watch this movie it just gets better. I understand the intent and I like the execution. I like Star Wars, and Johnson is an artist who directed a real Star Wars film. Compare a soulless, cynical, lying, manipulative, money-making-focused machine like Abrams, who manufactured a Star Wars knock-off, and now manufactures another one to lure as many asses as possible into theaters. It just drains my energy. I believe in the actors and in Williams---and hope they can survive the script and direction and still make it feel somewhat like Star Wars.

Can’t blame him. Some shots, like the one with Leia hugging Rey, appear to be more tropical, jungle-like, while others have shades of a temperate forest a little more becoming of Endor. Plus, a name for said planet has already been leaked as "Ajan Kloss". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
