I think with the production quality they had that story would work well. |

Wow.
That treatment is so much better. There's some rough edges that need smoothing - that Sollony character sucks - but lots of great stuff in there - probably just need to roll any bad guys who threaten rey besides kylo into the knights of ren, makes them more of a threat, too It's actually plausible that the First Order would lose because they're spread too thin - as an inverse of "the more you tighten your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers and rey raising the falcon at the end of the movie? lando having a character arc? starting the movie with a heist sequence of old imperial tech? finn rallying other former troopers? holy ****, so much better kathleen kennedy and bob iger are assclowns |

Water is wet. She's flat. I never said she was unattractive nor a girl. Why you felt the need to add on to what I said I don't know.

Went to it again last nite. This was a good movie, I really don’t get the hate. TLJ sucked. The prequels sucked. Obv. But both JJ movies were good.
Frankly the last 30 min of this movie had more action than any Star Wars movie ever has. |

Was planning on seeing it again after Dane said it was way more enjoyable the second go around when you aren't trying to absorb every second of the movie and can just kick back and watch. Hearing you say this as well makes up my mind for me.

Dane’s takes on this have been spot on. I say he won the thread.

https://makingstarwars.net/2020/02/p...ins-backstory/ In the Darth Plagueis novel from around that time it was inferred that she could be a problem for Darth Sidious. After the show was canceled, one of the last Dark Horse Star Wars comics Son of Dathomir hinted at some of this story. In the third issue, Talzin reveals that Sidious betrayed her and that Maul is in fact her son. Long ago, Sidious came to me on Dathomir. We exchanged secret wisdom–mingled Dark Side abilities with Nightsister magicks. He promised to make me his right hand, but instead he stole what was most dear to me… My own flesh and blood. My son! --- Of course, this reveal doesn't make RoS any better (or any worse, for that matter) but it does show that Sith and Dark Siders did have affection for their offspring. |

I don't think there's a huge difference between Dark Side Force Users and Sith in terms of their quest for power, so we'll just agree to disagree. I would also imagine that future Star Wars properties will explore these types of relationships, making this tiny plot point moot. |

not as good as the previous Star Wars/next to last movie.
Rogue one was better than both. |
