Star Wars discussion

[Jukka the Sling]

I really have no idea what they're going to do with her for Episode 9.  Everyone's been counting on an emotional Leia/Kylo Ren reunion, right?  They can't abruptly kill her off in the middle of this trilogy.  That would be horrible.

They're gonna have to do CGI.

[Søren]

I think Rey and Kylo will both get the devastating news that she died in Epsiode IX. She had already finished filming VIII, so maybe the opening crawl to IX is that she's died. Or maybe the character dies in VIII.

[Jukka the Sling]

If Leia is randomly announced in Episode 9 to have died offscreen between movies, the trilogy will just have signed its own death warrant.  Probably the same if she dies in Episode 8 (although I suppose it could be done right).  Seriously, though, killing off both Han and Leia in one trilogy?  Just thinking about it makes me feel disgusted.  I hope they figure out something else.

[Feles]

Are you suggesting that leia should die in the next trilogy

[Jukka the Sling]

By the time of the next trilogy, she'd almost definitely have died of natural causes anyway, so no explanation would be needed.  I just don't want her to die during this trilogy.

[Jetthebinturong]

What do you mean, next trilogy? I was of the impression that episode IX would be the last in the main series. Nine is all GL originally wanted to do, in any case.

I was joking,
because Jukka said:

A grin smiley probably would've helped...

[Jukka the Sling]

I've been under the impression that they'll keep making more and more movies and milking Star Wars for all it's worth.  I dunno.

[James Gryphon]

At one point in the early days, George Lucas talked about making maybe 12 movies, so I wouldn't conclude that it must be over once it hits 9. That said, though, if they can't get their creative juices flowing and show some real imaginative spark like George's, then they should quit at 9, after the Skywalkers' story arc is more definitively resolved.

[Groddil]

So long as Kylo Ren dies rather than get redeemed or something stupid like that, I'm happy.

[Jukka the Sling]

Redemption is the major theme of Star Wars, though.  I'm guessing he'll sacrifice himself to save someone else.  Oh, man... what if he sacrifices himself to save Leia, or tries to?  Then again, that's too much like Vader.  Who knows - maybe he'll redeem himself and then have to actually live with the consequences of his misdeeds.

[Groddil]

He's an angsty teen, not an interesting villain. And he killed Han Solo. Why would they redeem him. At least Vader was interesting.

If Ren isn't killed offLeia is randomly announced in Episode 9 to have died offscreen between movies, the trilogy will just have signed its own death warrant.  Probably the same if she dies in Episode 8 (although I suppose it could be done right).  Seriously, though, killing off both Han and Leia in one trilogy?  Just thinking about it makes me feel disgusted.  I hope they figure out something else.

^ Fixed that for you.

I dunno, if he admired Vader so much, he would want to be like him, right?

[Hickory]

He idolized *Vader,* not Anakin Skywalker. There's a difference.

John Williams won a Grammy for the TFA soundtrack!

And a new episode of Rebels is on this week!
