Will it ever end?

Remember to leave bullshit arguing in the last thread and to find something new to complain about instead.

QUICK: DO YOU SAY AT-ST, SCOUT WALKER, OR CHICKEN WALKER?

I wonder if Christensen is good friends with any of his cast mates?

Ayytee esstee

AT-ST because that's actually it's name.

Apparently the recent announcements confirmed elements of a script leak. Namely

>Rose being an engineer in an estranged Resistance cell on a mining planet.

>There being a mining planet at all and a scene of ships scouring the surface to extract red spice from underground.

It's apparently an old draft since Lando is in it and Billy Dee Williams confirmed he's not back. But it also featured

Rey's parents being villagers who were enslaved by the First Order and left her behind for her own protection. They've been turned into cyberized laborers who don't remember her.

Snoke is an aristocrat from before the Clone Wars who became obsessed with harnessing the Force to achieve immortality and power and although he controls the Dark Side he doesn't consider himself a Sith and believes that the old ways of the Dark Side and the Light are a waste of time.

Leia is injured and spends most of the movie out of commission.

Luke dies and becomes a Force Ghost.

No word if it's real or if they're using any of it. But it's kinda' interesting.

scout walker

What will bring the hype in the Rebels panel?

always said at-st

I call it a bawk bawk

Not if anything to say about it, I have!

AT-ST

When I hear "scout walker" I think of the AT-RT for some reason.

Some other rumored leaks

>Rey begins training with Luke but he's desillusioned with the Jedis and she questions his methods and yadda yadda yadda.

>Snoke finds out where they are and sends Kylo and the Knights of Ren to kill them. Luke takes out the Knights while Rey fights Kylo and ends up capturing him. Luke wants to kill him, Rey doesn't want to, Kylo tries to turn her against Luke, Rey and Kylo begin getting all close and shit.

>Meanwhile Leia is injured in a First Order attack and Laura Dern's character takes over. The Resistance outpost on Crait is vital and Finn ends up there and hooking up with Rose. They meet Del Toro who sells them out to the First Order. Dern is a shitty leader so Poe essentially stages a coup and rallies the Resistance to help out at Crait.

>Del Toro is this Lando-ish intergalactic entrepeneur who rolls around in a massive spaceship that looks like a casino and apparently is doing business with the folks at Crait. Finn and Rose end up running into him but he pulls a Reverse Lando and actually betrays them to the First Order for real. Rose ends up getting captured and is apparently relevant or important enough that Rey and Finn team up to rescue her from Snoke's castle.

>Rey leaves to join the fight after sensing Finn in distress and takes Kylo along with her, but it's all part of keikaku and he escapes. Finn and Rey end up in Snoke's castle while Poe battles Hux and Phasma and those guys over at Crait.

>Snoke reveals his background, whatever it may be, and ditches Kylo for Rey. Luke shows up and saves her, forcing Snoke to ditch for the day. Rey and Luke are on the same page now, but then butthurt Kylo kidnaps Rey so he can force her to help him start his own Force order with hookers and blackjack. Luke reunites with a recovering Leia to join the fight in order to rescue Rey and target the First Order now they've been dealt a solid blow by the loss of the battle at Crait.

Chicken Walker!

...

X-wings will make people cum even though they've been in the most recent Star Wars movies

AT-ST, I always call walkers by their abbreviations .

Galen Marek

>Star Wars is a children's franchise and the characters in Rebels and their deeds are not any more simple than anything else in the franchise.

This kind of varies moment to moment in the show honestly.

X-wings for the normies.

For actual fans of the show:
Actually showing the attack on Lothal's TIE factory.
Thrawn being more than a one-season villain. Same with Pryce.
Mandalore-proper

>>Del Toro is this Lando-ish
DROPPED
ESB 2.0 confirmed.

>Rey turns out to be a Solo.

NO.

Honestly, as much as I disliked how... I guess fan fiction-y overpowered he got towards the end, I think retooling him as an Inquisitor who grows a heart would be neat.

...

>Star Wars is a children's franchise
If that's true then why is there a whole bunch of political talk the children obviously wouldn't interested in?

>we just wanna play with lightsabers"

That's exactly what happened to George
Have you seen the ROTS duel in real time?
It takes FOREVER
Like I mean literally, Obiwan and Anakin are doing Tarzan swings at each other with ropes.

It's just so long and tedious that you stop caring.
What's next? They're going to do flips over each other (well one will try)?

The final duel should have been more meaningful
Not just playtime with glowsticks

OR here. Dude you are my fucking hero

saved

"For children" doesn't make them immune from overhearing adults talking about things that matter to them. See: politics, religion, etc.

I completely disagree.
I think the fight develops in a really cool why that involves the landscape itself as the third combatant.

I'm all for it as long as he's a bit less overpowered. More Sam is always good in my book.

"For children" has an implicit prefix "suitable." It is suitable for children but not enjoyable solely by them. The implication that only children are permitted to enjoy childish things and that childish things are not permitted to offer anything for adults is, itself, childish.

Not really.

so they are doing the thing from the books where luke gets rid of the light/jedi and dark/sith distinctions to bring balance to the force?

>Rey and Kylo begin getting all close and shit.

Also Rose? Really? That's the most un-Star Wars name I've ever heard

Doesn't sound as terrible as TFA.

Still
>she questions his methods and yadda yadda yadda.
Is Rey irredeemably a Mary-Sue?

>Galen Marek I know he's not canon, just go with it creates the rebellion, and then saves them from the Death Star and allows it to grow.

>Galen Erso sabotages the Death Star, indirectly saving the rebellion and causing it to grow.

Were they named the same on purpose or am I just overthinking it?

You waived that with names like Leia (Leah), Luke, Owen, and Ben.

Nice poster collage

But I disagree about the fight development

The stakes lose value over time
Anakin and Obi-Wan just do SOOOOO much shit over time
I like how Mustafar is a third neutral character.
Lava and what not

But they still fuck around for sooo long
Swinging from ropes
Talking over flying through lava

It should be short
With meaning

Have you seen Kill Bill?
Beatrix and Bill confronting each other
Now that's a final battle

That is not something you complain about.

when did that ever happen

>Also Rose? Really? That's the most un-Star Wars name I've ever heard
And Luke, Anakin, Rey (Ray for real-world use), Owen, Ben aren't?

You just don't name another character "Galen", I'm sure it's intentional.

Yes, because "Luke" and "Ben" are such exotic, other worldly names.

Like I said, I disagree. It keeps me engaged the whole time and the fight itself displays a level of martial artistry that tops even the other PT fights.

>Ray for real-world use
Not anymore. Faggots are naming their kids "Rey" now.

Nah
You've forgotten that Star Wars isn't real
Some marketing stooge/writer dipped into existing material and sucked up a name
That name was Galen

If I'm remembering this leak correctly, it was more pants-on-head retarded than that. Rey's parents were in the Knights of Ren.

Doesn't it feel stupidly long to you?
Like they aren't really fighting but just putting on a show?

>GAAALLLEENNNNN

>No not you, the other Galen

why does this one guy
keep pressing the enter key
every time
he has a new thought
instead
of forming a sentence
like a normal person

or having
the common courtesy
to order his list of thoughts
with numbers, letters, or >greentext

Oh, and Lando reveals that he was secretly in love with Leia all along and Leia's last words to him are "I know".

The most kino one here is TPM, followed by (as disappointing as the actual trailer was) TLJ

nah it's two people who have mastered the blade, it feels right for it to last a while.

they should just make her a skywalker jesus

Reddit spacing is a thing user.

>Rejects Luke's teachings
>Gets close to Kylo
For what fucking purpose? This sounds awkward as fuck, it's not even a good "temptation to the Dark Side" route. At least when Vader tempted Luke it was with the promise of using the Dark Side to defeat an even greater evil than him, not "lol Obi Wan is a faggot, join me instead we've got cookies and shit."

It's not like she has the excuse of trying to save a husbando like Anakin did with Padme.

...

You're only gay for one Galen

>Marek just drops his head and shuffles back to the corner with all the other Legends characters

i don't know which book. I just know from one of the yuzhong vong books. that it was ok for han and leia's son to use force lighting. as long as the emotion that powered it was from a good place.

It's needlessly long and elaborate only due to this spinning scene, which makes it look like two guys doing forms at each other, and the pause before the high ground, which completely renders everything they did up 'til that point meaningless.

If Anakin would have just leaped at Obi-Wan while still sorta off balance right after Obi-Wan jumped away from him, I think the high ground would have been satisfying.

Also ep. 1 poster is a really cool design while ep 3. is really stupid looking.

Krennic is forever cucked.

Not to me, no.
And there are so many nice little touches like Anakin being below Obi and clawing at him. Just nice imagery of Anakin being a demon now, trying to drab Obi down.

>rey is the real chosen one
I really hope they don't do this

No reddit spacing is when they make a double space between each complete sentence.

Like so.

This at least makes some syntactical sense.

Not when they put any separable part of a sentence on a new line.

except jacen turned evil, and killed his wife so...

Yes, the SUPERIOR Galen

this Galen

Reminder that the movie has both a guy named Galen and a guy named Merrick.

Sup Forums is hopeless on the spin scene, but it the complete and total opposite of bad, like
>nah it's two people who have mastered the blade
They are both hitting, and then stop engaging their blades and start spinning to create and opening.

I love it have always loved it, it doesn't look silly at all and I just don't get the memes.

It was like some green lightening faggotry or something

Did you really think that the protagonist and villain relationship wasn't going to be important and complicated?

They will.

They seek to erase both the Prequel and Original trilogy so they can make a clean break with Episodes 7-102

Then there's the Merrik from clone wars.
Who was voiced by the guy who voiced the pod race announcer! What does it all mean?

an* opening

kek

When will these comics get some good artists?

>Anakin

Who the fuck was ever named Anakin before Star Wars?

Both of which are infinitely cooler than Sam Witwer's Star Wars career starter. Though I still love Sam, he's too based.

>Reylo happening
I fucking hope so. It'd cause an amazing downpour of SJW screeching and endless feminist articles talking about how Disney are shitlords.

...

>mfw Wendig has characters call them chicken walkers in universe

It means Anakin is the key to all of this

fucking disney. I want to go back and show lucas the scripts for episodes 7 and 8 and convince him not to sell

Rey Skywalker is literally the most boring story possible.

Ren getting his ass handed to him again

better than her being a literally who reincarnation of space jesus

Minus the gif scene which is plain terrible, I think it would have been fine if, the second that platform broke, they stopped fighting completely and just focused on staying alive.

Now that you mention it though, had they went straight into Anakin jumping at Obi-wan and no conversation, I think that would have been better ya.

Gonna be Rey Nobody in canon
It has to be

I think Kyle was actually the first to do that. Because Kyle didn't give a shit about rules and just did what he wanted.

Lucasfilm has said time and time again that the saga films are about the Skywalker family. Why would the main character not be a Skywalker?

Or just be given more creative control in terms of the story arcs but not the actual writing.

Cause that man can't do dialogue.

It's going to be Rey Skywalker guys, what other family constantly inherits the Chosen One genes?

>Minus the gif scene which is plain terrible
I just don't understand.
It's two people who know each other's moves very well trying to find an opening.

I was honestly blown away by that whole scene as a 7 year old in the theater.

>Rey is literally the most boring story possible.
Fixed that for you.

Luke and Kylo are still there and very prominent.

They're both probably going to be dead by the end of the trilogy and we know Leia won't be coming back either.

skywalkers were false positives this literally who is the true chosen one

Or they won't be, and Rey isn't a Skywalker.

Because the main character is Kylo, and people still haven't realized this yet.
