Daisy Ridley Says Her New Star Wars Movie Is "Not What I Expected"

I found the plot of the next movie.

 

Quote

In the aftermath of the Galactic Civil War's resolution, Rey Skywalker, finding solace and love, embarks on a new journey in the next Star Wars installment. Striving to forge a new legacy, Rey meets and falls in love with the descendant of Obi-Wan Kenobi's brother, cementing their union in marriage. In honoring both their lineages, they decide that their children will bear the Kenobi name. Meanwhile, the saga explores a heartwarming backstory featuring a loving Ewok gay couple, set against the backdrop of their quest for acceptance and unity within the broader galaxy, showcasing the diverse and inclusive nature of this evolving Star Wars universe.

That can't be right. Ahsoka isn't shoved in anywhere!

[Brónach 1,302]

Ahsoka is dating both ewoks.

Meh. "Return of the Jedi" was more progressive in 1983, with its intimation of interspecies gay love when Wicket dry-humped Han's leg...

 

[Jay 37,378]

This starts filming in four months, so I guess it'll be the first Star Wars movie to actually get made in six years

Yes! Another Rey movie! Disney yet again demonstrating how it has its finger firmly on the pulse of what the moviegoing public wants!

Let's be honest, it's probably the only upcoming project that MIGHT yield us some new John Williams Star Wars music.

 

He ain't scoring the Filoni movie and the time period of Mangold's film seems like fertile territory for fresh blood.

Honestly, I think he's done with Star Wars at this stage. We were lucky that he was tantalized into writing a theme for Obi-Wan.

[Groovygoth666 672]

With Daisy Ridley coming back I wouldn't be surprised if Williams did the same as Solo and write a main theme with some other pieces to be adapted by the composer. 

[Chen G. 3,954]

I think so, too. But I'd be happy to be proven wrong. I mean, its Episode X in all but name, so there would be some sense from Williams' standpoint to want to at least do something for it, and if he does it'll be pretty cool!

Lorne or Junkie? 

[Chen G. 3,954]

Honestly, Williams scoring or at least contributing material for the Mangold film - which is effectivelly Episode 0 - wouldn't be the worst idea. Embryonic form of the Emperor's and the Jedi's music galore!

[Bespin 8,484]

Mr. Williams, please don't score those movies.

 

IT'S A TRAP.

[Nick1Ø66 4,723]

You guys are talking like this movie is actually going to happen. 

[Jay 37,378]

To be fair, none of the other cancelled Star Wars movies got as far as having a filming start date set (I don't believe)

[Groovygoth666 672]

Of all the movies announced, I think this one is the most likely to actually get released. Filoni's being a Mandoverse and with how well Ashoka was received it wouldn't surprise me if that one went straight to Disney Plus. And after DOD, I can see it being a "we're very proud of Mangolds take on Indy, we are working on his new Star Wars, which we're all excited about" from Kathleen Kennedy for a number of years before it's quietly cancelled (but not publicly, how's that trilogy coming along Rian?). 

[Chen G. 3,954]

It doesn't help that the premise of Mangold's film sounds TERRIBLE!

 

Yeah, the discovery of the Force, founding of the Jedi order, presumably the Republic, and I'm assuming the Sith splitting from the order. That sounds totally filmable! 

[Toillion 215]

I don't care what anyone else says. I'm excited for a new Star Wars movie even if it's a continuation of the weakest of the three trilogies.

[Groovygoth666 672]

Not for less than $100 million, which they're going to need the budgets to be for any chance of actually making money. 

[Nick1Ø66 4,723]

Just hire those guys who made Godzilla Minus One for $15 million, problem solved.

 

Save even more money with an all-Japanese cast of unknowns, problem solved.

 

After all, isn't Stars Wars just a big Kurosawa remake? I read that somewhere.

 

Lightsabers clash bright,
Samurai in space unite,
Force flows like moonlight.

I am afraid, he already wrote a theme for Rey.

 

[1977 1,743]

I liked Rey as a character so I am hopeful that this will turn out ok, but I'm concerned Disney won't put story front and centre and will insist on shoehorning in the usual preachy elements.

A motif then.

This could be Williams's "Rey Symphony".

If that's how much it cost then Lucasfilm should definitely give them a call (also was surprised to see this isn't showing at the Phoenix Picturehouse in Oxford)

I'm sure Williams could write a new theme or another variation of Reys 😂

[greenturnedblue 372]

Pretty sure JW would walk if they tell him they want to scrap his Rey theme and start over. He loves that theme

Chen, biting his lips to stop himself being Cato about how Star Wars owes a lot less to Kurosawa than George Lucas would like us to think, and a lot more to Barsoom and Lensmen than Lucas would likewise have us think.

That's the thing. Clearly they'll use Rey's Theme throughout, which means JW needs to be consulted. And we all know his anecdote about not letting anyone else touch that theme...

 

I think the most likely outcome is the original Indy 5 plan. JW will write a few new themes, new variations of Rey's Theme, some key cues, then hand the rest to Ross (or maybe Powell).

 

After the Kenobi debacle I can't see them risking an up-and-coming composer without extensive industry experience.

Rubbish. It's clear to all film & Jung scholars that Star Wars is merely a tasty blend of The Hidden Fortress and The Power of Myth.

 

Call it "Campbell's Soup".

I prefer it more like this:

Chen: Oh yeah? Watch me, Oscar Wilde!

Hold the phone, how can this be Episode X when it's already completely filmed and ready to drop at the right moment?

It is. They're just faking this whole not being filmed yet thing so they can take some time to measure the pulse of when the fanbase is going to be open to more Star Wars films again.

Oh of course, silly me, that makes perfect sense. 

[Mr. Hooper 1,808]

The Rey movie is the only one you can bet on being made, cuz she's Kathleen Kennedy's contribution to Star Wars...and before her contract expires (or she's given the heave-ho along with her cohort Bob Iger), she's attempting to future-proof the character by making her the leader of a new Jedi Order.

One thing I'll say for Disney: they're persistent. To their utter detriment.

[mstrox 6,651]

There was a very special episode of Full House where Stephanie’s friends smoked cigarettes in the bathroom at school , maybe it’s like that

I miss those "very special" episodes. They dealt with some difficult subjects with humour. What lesson do you suppose Rey will learn?
