Star Wars: Episode IX
 

Welp, time to start the thread because LANDO IS BACK.

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/new...ing-episode-ix

Cool. Let's see how they transform him into an unhappy shell of his former self like they did with the other Original Trilogy characters.

Christ, Billy D Williams is like 81 I think.

I'll give him this... black don't crack. He doesn't look nearly as old as the rest of the old cast.

Lando isn't about a certain look, anyway.

It's all about the attitude.

That's why Ford could pull off Han Solo at 70.

Billy Dee has even more charisma.

Do NOT **** this up, JJ.

I find it hilarious that Kylo made it a point to urge Rey to "let it go" all while these ****ing execs won't bother to take the advice. Stop trying to shoehorn all of these old ass characters into the new trilogy. It's been like 50 ****ing years. Let it goooooo.

yeah we need more rose ROFL

Is Rain Johnson involved?

Damage control.

Would have been better to have met him at the casino the last movie. At least that enite plot line would have had some payoff.

Great... one more iconic figure they can **** up. Yee haw!

Oh great, maybe they can cast him as some kind of social justice leader fighting against the evil authority.

He'll come back, win the Falcon in a game of dice, then crash it killing himself and Chewie.

Yeah, but that's my point.

Williams looks about 20 years younger than Ford does. I seriously had no idea he was so ****ing old.

They won't.

You guys have to understand that denigrating the classic characters wasn't an accident. There's a reason they did it, and a reason they won't do it to Williams.

What makes you think that? Finn is black, and they turned him into a complete ****ing reerun.

Kathleen doesn't care what color you are, Mr. Man.

yep, " Young Lando" from SOLO said that Calrissian is a pillowbiter now

It's impossible to un**** this, because of the hole that RJ and KK dug

It's going to bomb by cinematic blockbuster standards.

I mean he dug the hole they will be standing in if that counts.

Unless Lando has a large snake-like monster that he uses to eat his enemies while saying "Works every time." after said enemies are consumed I want not part of old man Lando.

Old man Lando hitting on CGI Old lady Leia... good luck getting that image out of your head.

Mark has shaved.

Sir not-appearing-in-this-film

They're not going to bring him back as a force ghost?

Well, at least it has shitty expectations.

he shaved

seems unlikely he's going to be in the movie on that fact alone

Unless he's projecting as a younger Luke as a force ghost....

Hayden Christensen bro as Anakin.

He's already stated in interviews he's done with SW's...

Sounds like he hated his character in 8 and they ruined it for him like they did so many fans.

No, dipshit, he didn't like it at first and then he changed his mind once he actually saw the film.

Luke isn't done with Star Wars, it's done with HIM, because HE'S DEAD. I'm sure he'll do voice work or something in the future.

He tried to do some PR work after his initial commmets but more recently he pretty much went back to his initial reaction that his character was qay off.. I posted a link in the other thread somewhere. He pretty much lost interest as much as most of the.fan base.

LOL, Hamill was being a company man with that recanted comment. The PR department probably chewed his ass because of that moment of honest candor.

You can pretty much tell where he stands from this interview.

https://www.google.com/amp/comicbook...arc-was-tough/

His interview reminded me of when a reporter ask a QB about a shit play call by a coach after the game and his reponse is " We just run the plays called the best we can."

How many force ghosts are there going to be? How many are there now?

Shouldn't there be a force ghost for every jedi who has died?

Yes, and Mace Windu needs to drop some f bombs when he makes his appearance

My gut tells me Lando is going to show up in this film to die. Everybody but Chewie has died, so why not? Oh, Chewie will also die. And R2/C3PO will finally find their ends in a trash compactor. Just to really yank on those "feels."

And Lando is in this so they retcon some story or mystery about him from which a spinoff film will be made so it can star Donald Glover, which, **** it, I'm fine with that. We should have had that instead of Solo.

He knows they killed the franchise. Star Wars is just another Transformers now, coasting along on inertia.

yep . sad but true .

They brought Lando back for damage control.

Unless he's going to travel back in time and shoot Kathleen Kennedy in the face, I really don't think it will accomplish much.

He's going to show up as The Joker in the next Star Wars movie.

But he'll be a trans droid that Lando falls in love with and they'll adopt Chewie.

That's what I've been waiting for. Hopefully within a few years we get to see Batman take down a Death Star with nothing more than a Flying Space General Lee, stars and bars and all, with Alf riding shotgun whilst wielding a flaming excalibur

Had to be hard on him. If anyone had the pulse of the Star Wars franchise.fan base it was Mark. Probabaly crushed him as much as it did everyone else.

Just trying to excite the fan base.

Dead isn't dead to Jedi's. He and everyone who ever lived can come back as ghost Jedi's, correct?

Better story than The Last Jedi.

From what I read is a learned skill that not all Jedi possess.. not much written in stone.Sounds like a newer phenomenon started around Yodas time. I am sure Clay can shine more light on it than I

Well yeah, The Last Jedi didn't have a story. Just agendas.

That is correct. Qui-Gon, I believe, discovered the process.

Everything about how Luke died in TLJ and what I have seen/read about force ghosts says that Luke can return as one. I know that a lot of shit isn't canon now but:


http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_ghost

Yeah, you are right. I am sure Luke learned the ability from Obi-Wan or Yoda but you never know with the current Star Wars story group.

Well, he did have the Journals of the Whills on Ach-To with him. Not much more to do there than to read and drink green tit milk from some weird slug, especially when you've renounced the Force (just how did he turn those Midichlroians off, anyway??).

I thought Mark Hamill wasn't going to be in episode IX

https://www.cinemablend.com/news/245...wars-episode-9

What about the theory floating around that Rey is really the daughter of Han Solo and Qi'ra and is a half-sister to Kylo Ren? Anyone think that's a possibility in this movie?

Letting everyone know. They could have hidden it. All pr

The age range does not match up, unless Han somehow hooked up with her while he was married to Leia.

Mark's beard is back and he flew out to Europe.

Totally-not-in-this-movie.

I think it would be funny as hell if he just faded back in at the start of the movie and was alive and well.

P.S. I hate Rian Johnson and hope they fire him from ever getting near another Star Wars film. Even as an audience member.

That's possible but doesn't match up with Rey's force capabilities/potential in terms of lineage/bloodline.

I'm out and done so I won't shit-talk the brand. What's the point?

I will admit to some curiosity in how you rebound from what Round head Rian did in TLJ. Just from the perspective of burning established cannon to the ground and having to take over from that. How do you pull that off?...

Easy. Pretend it didn’t happen.

Have Luke return and “fade in”
Have Snoke jump into a new clone body and proclaim himself Palpatine’s clone
Have Rey be the leader of the Force kids or Luke be her father
Have the resistance from the outer rim finally show up
Etc., etc., etc.

Whatever they do will be a lame band-aid necessitated by Rian Johnson’s terrible movie.

McDiarmid as Palps without the force lightning scarring would be cool to see, tbqh.

I'm not throwing stones I'm honestly asking. I know a ton of people who say "I want back in I just want Kennedy out and a return to what was before TLJ."

And I always ask "Ok, HOW would you do it?"

If it is pulled off that team deserves every award out there because they start off backed all the way into a corner. It'd be nearly impossible to back-track now...

Well, it is JJ Abrams, so we should all go ahead and get used to the idea of a third act redepmtion plot point ripoff.

I have no idea where they are going to go with this now, but I am assuming that they will make Ren into a near godlike Sith lord now- like Vader and the Emperor combined. This seems somewhat obvious to me when you consider everything that has been done so far. Vader's saber becomes Ren's weird-ass saber; Deathstar becomes Deathplanet; The Executor becomes The Supremacy. Super Shredder from TMNT2 would fit right into this movie and not seem out of place.

Obviously, Rey (of light in the darkness) wins against all odds; probably with the help of every force ghost ever... this includes all the murdered Jedi Younglings. Oh, and count on some kind of furry midget things or an entire Wookie planet.

The universe is broken, and they need to go backwards about 3000 years in time to give us some new untouched stories. 15 years or so from now they can redo the prequels.

"Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, farm boy. Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova, and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't" - Han Solo


With this quote and the name Millennium Falcon a writer should be able to concoct a story arc that dictates time travel if you want to keep Rey and the connection of the original storyline to jump start the franchise for a course correct.

Though as stated before I'd rather have a clean reboot.

I probably won't be watching this in the theaters if at all.

IMO......

• Luke is dead. Can't fix that. He can be there as a force ghost, but that's it.
• Snoke is dead. Can't fix that, either. Move on. Kylo is the big bad in Ep. 9.
• Rey's parentage: This one's easy to fix. Kylo told her her parents are no one because he knew that would hurt her. It's not true.
• Not sure how they deal with Carrie Fisher's death, but I'mma be right pissed off if they kill her of screen. She should have died in TLJ instead of her Superman spacewalk.

I just don't see then making any major changes that would erase #8. I think the Star Wars goose has been cooked.

I've got it. Episode 8 was a force vision. Episode 9 picks up with Luke blinking and Rey handing him his lightsaber.

Or Rey wakes up on the Millennium Falcon and finds Luke taking a shower, then realizes it was all a bad dream. :D

What was wrong with the last one? I thought it was entertaining.

They for sure ruined a good franchise.

So much wrong with it, IMO. Just to start...

• Porgs
• Slowest space chase ever
• Light speed through a Destroyer
• Leia's space walkabout
• Snoke
• Rey's parentage
• Rose's suicide mission to stop Finn's suicide mission
• Luke Facetiming the final battle

Six of one, half dozen of the other. Someone's dream.

Could just start all over and have it be Rey's dream on the Falcon before she even meets Luke. So we can have a better response than just tossing the light saber over a cliff.

Oh. I suppose I should pay closer attention.
