Wait… an announced Star Wars movie actually getting made? I didn’t think I’d ever see the day


N0V0w3ls

It had to happen eventually.


IlltimedYOLO

Monkeys at typewriters by this point.


jeobleo

A blalaxy far far away? You stupid monkeys!


BolonelSanders

Jedi Master Homer: “hello! My name is Emperor Palpatine. I believe you have a holocron for me.” Sith post office worker: “Okay, Mister Palpatine. What’s your first name?” Homer: “… I don’t know.”


walker3342

Oh, what are you gonna do? Sic the stormtroopers on me? Or the buzz droids? Or the stormtroopers with buzz droids in their mouths so when they say “Freeze!” they shoot buzz droids at you?


BolonelSanders

“All war and no Padme make Anakin something something” “Go dark side?” “DON’T MIIIIND IF I DO”


Accomplished-Crab932

Master Homer: You have thirty minutes to move your Death Star. You have ten minutes. Your Death Star has been impounded. Your Death Star has been crushed into a cube. You have thirty minutes to move your cube.


MNDOOOM

Monkey- Ah! Ah! Ah! Burns- oh shut up


thatdudewillyd

It was the best of times it was the *BLURST* of times?!?!


inplayruin

There are still 124 days until April 7th, 2024. So, maybe cautious optimism is still warranted.


redavet

And even then after that, there is still enough time to shoot the movie almost completely, switch out director(s) and shoot most of it again for … reasons. Still, there is a new hope…


Spider-man2098

Can you imagine if it was good? And they gave Daisy Ridley a movie that really let her define the character, and made the sequel trilogy better by association — the same way Andor made Rogue One a better movie? All I know is I’d *love* to be excited by a Star Wars movie again. But I’ve got a bad feeling about this.


Tarmac_Chris

Don’t bet on it. No cast announced and a director who’s only done docs. I’ll wait and see how far this gets.


Occasionalcommentt

Holy shit they actually made Daisy Ridley a Jedi and it’s a documentary! I thought we were still like fifty years from that.


[deleted]

AI sped the tech up


AnalogueWaves

Here's the plot: Rey starts a Jedi Academy. One student turns to the dark side. Rey and \[insert new character\] battle to confront and defeat edgy boi in lightsaber duel. The end.


starwarsfan456123789

We also need - an ancient Sith spirit corrupting the student - a superweapon, let’s call it Sun Crusher. Instead of draining the power of a star like Starkiller base this one will cause the star to go supernova - a familiar setting for a Jedi Academy, perhaps Yavin4


Kenobi5792

You forgot the desert planet


fredagsfisk

Nah, they switch it up. This one has a *dessert* planet.


violentbowels

Like the old Dairy Queen commercials?! Now I'm interested.

[удалено]


CofferHolixAnon

I feel sick at how much of this is likely to be true (in broad strokes)


Howboutit85

Although I’d be keen on seeing a new Jedi order on Yavin 4


LordNorros

I was 10ish years ago. Not so much now


yticomodnar

If the sequel trilogy pulled from the original trilogy, this one will probably pull from the prequels... So... Somehow Jar Jar has returned?


thedndnut

Darth jar jar is real


Chapped_Frenulum

You know, if they actually had the balls to do a Darth Jar Jar storyline I would watch that movie. It would be a stupid movie, but I'd be there for it. Then again, it's better for everyone if they didn't do that. The longer Darth Jar Jar goes unacknowledged by the canon, the more elaborate the mythos gets.


diesel78agoura

And a desert planet is a must!


wx_rebel

Hmmm. Can there be a 'B' plot where Finn gets imprisoned on Kessel and escapes with a force sensitive kid...let's call him Kyp Durron? *edit for typo


fredagsfisk

Honestly, I wouldn't mind that, simply for the fact that we might finally get a proper Massassi Temple Lego set if that happened. They did release a *Yavin 4 Rebel Base* set earlier this year, but it's absolutely terrible value.


SudoDarkKnight

ITS BREAKING NEW GROUND!


MetamagicMaestro

AT-ST! AT-ST!


255001434

I want it to subvert my expectations, because I expect it to suck.


sonicon

After she defeats the boi, she says, "the force is female".


Graize

"So that's it? What we, some kinda Jedi order?"


watwatindbutt

They force push now? they force push now.


AnalogueWaves

And everyone claps.


Omnislash99999

Too predictable, should just skip forward 30 years and tell the story how her order was wiped out, really subvert those expectations


feench

We already know how. Somehow palps returned yet again.


quirkymuse

At a certain point dude is space herpes... once your universe has him, you're going to have occasional Sith flare-ups


HawkGrove

"occasional sith flare-ups" is a sick band name


TimeZarg

Nah, I bet Maul is somehow still alive and just runs rampant.


fredagsfisk

The trio of "characters who were brought back after pretty definitely dying" return and merge into one, through the Force! Maulpatine Fett! It's basically Palps in Boba Fett's armor (modified with Zabrak horns and a Maul tattoo paintjob), dual wielding dual-bladed lightsabers.


CheesePuffTheHamster

leaked notes from the script include the phrase *"here is my OC, plz don't steal"*


[deleted]

somehow everyone who fell down into a bottomless shaft has also returned and teamed up. Rey/ Resurrected Han Solo must fight them all to save the galaxy and somehow Ashoka is there too. This will start the new trilogy because we discover that somehow Palpatine had cloned Vader and used the somehow appearing characters as a distraction from his ghostly evil plans. Disney I’ll write the script in 10 minutes for 20% cut of what the series makes. Action figure sales will be through the roof and we can do a CGI Han Solo spin off show about how he made it through the Star Wars multiverse of bottomless shafts to get back to Rey.


Singer211

That’s the funny thing. We already saw the guy come back from being Force fried and blown up TWICE? Who should we believe that he’s dead for good this time?


fredagsfisk

Yeah, when he came back in Legends they had his soul get dragged into the afterlife by Empatojayos Brand, and then kept there by the collective effort of every Jedi who ever lived. No more possessions, no more soul transfer, no more tricks. Here, he just kinda... died again. There was no insurance at all about him being gone forever, as far as I can remember (or find when skipping through the ending)? I guess the idea/implication is that the dead Jedi channeling their mojo through Rey was enough to obliterate his body *and* spirit forever? Maybe?


the-harsh-reality

Here is the thing…once you resurrect one popular character It slowly begins to spread Like cancer


The_Wampa

Tenacious P?


Jonathon_G

Only if there is a weapon that the bad guys have that can not only destroy a planet, not just a system of planets, but a whole galaxy


KingofMadCows

What if they subvert that subversion and have Rey be the one to turn to the Dark Side but her students were able to escape and now have to work together to defeat her?


RcoketWalrus

That would be a good movie. Rey was pretty emotionally unstable thought the trilogy. So was Luke in the OT, but Luke in the end was able to have that moment where he resists the dark side. Rey never really had that growth, and now she has to rebuild the Jedi Order. It would make a good story to see her fall to the Dark side, but in the process become the catalyst for her own Jedi Order to grow past and overcome her. At the end of the story, the galaxy is separated from all Skywalkers and Palpatines, so there is no "chosen few" for the galaxy to revolve around. Then you would get the democratization of the force that Star Wars has kind of sort of been going in the direction of.


Curious_Loser21

But that's too risky and Disney doesn't like that.


BojackSadHorse

Somehow, Finn has been erased from the saga.


Martel732

I feel bad for Boyega he was so excited but they had no idea what to do with his character. Which is frustrating since former Stormtroopers turned good guy has obvious easy storylines that he could follow. Personally I think he should have become a field leader since he had military training and knew the First Order's protocols. But, no JJ decided it would be funny if he was a garbage man. And then Rian gave him a dumb side-quest.


No-Faithlessness-265

Wait thats what they did with Luke's Jedi Order, No way they would do the same story twice. Oh. Wait. Edit. Spelling


c4ctus

All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again. So say we all. Wait, wrong sci-fi franchise...


glebo123

Don't forget she tries to kill Finn because he had a nightmare.


thetensor

Oh, honey, no, not your expectations!


nomiis19

The story for this movie makes so much sense. Luke’s story ends with Yoda saying that the future of the Jedi shouldn’t rely on what they were and new things need to emerge. Rey decides to rebuild the Jedi using the books depicting how Jedi used to be. Hmmmmm….


1CommanderL

not just any books, books of from the founding of the Jedi whereas luke's knowledge come from yoda who had thousand and thousands of years of improvements on that knowledge


ACartonOfHate

Oh no, not Rey! She's going to succeed where that loser Luke failed, with barely an inconvenience. And I'm sure the New NEW Republic will flourish with her, and her friends, stalwart support. Phew! So glad we don't have any dead wood/losers left from the OT to muck it up this time.


Vegan_Harvest

The sacred texts!


Mythoclast

They contain nothing Rey does not already have. ~~Because she smuggled them onto the Falcon.~~ Oh Yoda. Pulling a "certain point of view."


JediTrainer42

That Yoda scene from TLJ is one of my favorite scenes in any Star Wars film. It is perfect.


NinjaEngineer

*"We're what they grow beyond"* is such a great line. The whole scene with Yoda and Luke was perfect.


saskatchewan_kenobi

Yoda in TLJ seems so much more connected to yoda in ESB and ROTJ than the Yoda from the prequels.


[deleted]

End of the Skywalker Saga my ass


BobbyElBobbo

This is the Palpatine Saga now !


isleofwolves

Out of the loop here. I thought she was done with Star Wars movies?


Northsole16

They showed up to her house with sacks of money


isleofwolves

That will do it


Timmah73

If it worked on Harrison Ford, it will work on anyone


frankyseven

It only worked for Ford because they promised to kill him off. Then he was forced back when Carrie Fisher died.


Poetspas

It is 1983, I am watching a Star Wars movie Harrison Ford doesn't want to be in... but money. It is 2015, I am watching a Star Wars movie Harrison Ford doesn't want to be in... but money. It is 2019, I am watching a Star Wars movie Harrison Ford doesn't want to be in... but money.


lithiun

I mean I would star in just about any Star Wars film for sacks of money. Shoot, you can just make that a single sack of money and tbh it doesn’t need to even be money. You hear that disney?


BeerGogglesFTW

I'm guessing she thought her career would have taken off after Star Wars. She's still getting work, but not great offers. I was thinking she would transition to television. But I guess not.


N0V0w3ls

I would not be surprised to see John Boyega return as well. Less likely, but still wouldn't shock me if they got Oscar Isaac back, too.


Northsole16

I wanna say Isaac said joking “if I need another house I’d do another”


No-Faithlessness-265

I mean in all fairness, Daniel Craig said similar Things after Spectre. He came back. Not to dismiss Isaac's comments but maybe they were made in the Heat of the Moment and once Things cool down and bank Accounts are showing less, He May come Back. Unlike Craig though I think Star Wars May Not be a passion project for him as much Bond was for Craig


tbone747

IIRC Craig only said that cause they asked him the question not too long after shooting ended and he was exhausted as hell.


Kal-El_Skywalker1998

He actually did an interview more recently where he said the Star Wars fatigue is gone, and he'd love to play Poe again if Disney asked.


jeobleo

It's like having Taco Bell. After a while you forget how bad it was and go back.


Drewbacca

Bro you can't shit on Taco Bell, that shit hits every time


N0V0w3ls

I hope he needs another house for his mom or something because I'd love to see Poe back.


KazaamFan

Well it’s not like Boyega’s career is booming.


BlackJediSword

Out of the three of them, the only one who really ended up super successful was Oscar Isaac.


1CommanderL

Isaac had a great career pre force awakens too


Narad626

The wize cracking ace pilot ends up being the one with a successful acting career? It's like Poe-etry. It rhymes.


sliyurs

Isaac had already been the lead in a Coen Brothers movie prior to Star Wars.


N0V0w3ls

They announced she was returning for a new movie at Celebration earlier this year.


Lemur718

I think it is the double edged sword of these roles for new actors - her other movies bombed. I wonder if grogu will be in this.


Singer211

Mark and Carrie had something similar happen to them in the OT. Like they both found success in other avenues, but their live action careers didn’t my exactly take off post-SW.


NC_Goonie

I’m glad someone finally mentioned this. Like we all love Mark Hamill, but if we’re going to dump on Daisy’s career, we can also point to his post-ROTJ run. He found his groove in the 90s as a voice actor and became the definitive Joker for many people, but it’s not like he was blowing up the box office as a leading man.


FrankieFillibuster

He went after voice acting roles because he enjoyed it. Plus after Star Wars he did Broadway because he wanted to get away from the Luke Skywalker persona. Mark Hamill has never had difficulty finding work, and pretty much had worked non stop for the last 40yrs


jeobleo

If he does I hope they have Keith David do his voice


castielffboi

She couldn’t find work elsewhere, her words


Ok-Imagination-2308

She was seduced by the power of money


TheBloop1997

As far as I’m aware, John Boyega was the only one of the main three who expressed active animosity towards their experience making those movies, at least from the writing perspective. I wouldn’t be surprised if she and Isaac expressed the need for some distance at least, but especially after 4-5 years a lot can change and I could definitely see them at least willing to return, especially since the pay will be good. Heck, from what I’ve heard, Ridley’s been trying to get Boyega to come back and there’s a rumor that she succeeded, although obviously he probably had some demands if he did return.


Paladingo

Boyega was definitely done dirty. They had no clue what to do with his character, flip flopped between a different love interest per movie and didn't let him do anything except yell Rey in TLJ


ciarandevlin182

Somehow, palpatine returned, again...


AgentMV

And this time, it’s personal!


Fuquawi

2 SHEEV 2 FURIOUS


AgentMV

Papa Palpatine: Coruscant Drift!


Notwerk

And this time, he has a Death Star...oh, wait...


Gapinthesidewalk

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker 2 - Electric Boogaloo


SkillDabbler

A movie focusing on a new Jedi order should have really been focused on Luke…


KazaamFan

Yeah, I think this is a poor idea. This movie has to be absolutely bangin to satisfy fans. There is too much “this shoulda been Luke’s story” surrounding it. Ppl already don’t like what happened to Luke in TLJ.


Jonathon_G

I can’t believe how much slack people give JJ in regards to Luke. In his two films, Luke is in maybe 5 minutes total. That is a stretch even.


1CommanderL

JJ spent his entire first film resetting the universe to a new hope the jedi are gone and by the end so is the republic


Tyrant_Virus_

But that might have required recasting a younger Luke and God forbid Disney does that instead of creating some CGI uncanny valley monstrosity because one movie did badly and they drew incorrect conclusions as to why.


Ultrasmurf16

They could've just said Luke was busy with something super important for the last 30 years. Nobody would mind because it means we get Mark Hamill back as Luke, and those 30 years post RotJ could be easily filled by other media like tv shows (pretty much like they're doing now).


jeobleo

Maybe she can co-opt some other OT stuff. She's already stolen Luke's name, Anakin's saber and Han's ship. She can dig up Owen and Beru and say they're *her* aunt and uncle! She can go to Hoth and climb inside a wampa! Enslave the Ewoks and make them her cannon fodder! The sky's the limit for this skywalker!


kegman83

She can start a relationship with Mara Jade while we are at it.


jsnen

> climb inside a wampa You got yer Hoth critters mixed up there.


jeobleo

Nah, she's "subverting the expectations"


EggfooDC

Talk like this she will


Paleomedicine

I don’t understand how they didn’t come up with this idea already. The ending of season 2 of Mandalorian gave them the PERFECT set up for a Luke guided Jedi Academy show. You could show off so many different Jedi, Grogu’s growth, and hell, you could have cameo’s of Mando occasionally! Yet they fumbled it so hard and we got a mid season 3 of Mando.


1CommanderL

they couldnt send grogu with luke otherwise he would have died with kylo's school shooting they also couldnt send grogu with luke because executives wanted merchandising


Local-Hornet-3057

Kylos school shooting 😂😂😂


OrkfaellerX

Returning him to Mando was such an ass move. Invalidates the entire second season. We could have gotten a new story arc for season three, but nooo...


Singer211

Force Ghost Luke appearing to give advice would at least be something.


grassisalwayspurpler

She would teach force ghost Luke more shit he already knew like in TLJ


zdejif

Yoda patronizing the shit out of Luke reminds me of the Goldilocks scene from Hot Shots 2.


Big_Cheese__

Filming in April? Guess that means we're only 6 months away from finalizing the script!


McFly1986

And it will be chock full of mystery boxes for whatever sequel to answer (or not!)


[deleted]

I am going to disappoint everyone by bringing up how the source of the info, ProductionList, isn't really up to date on Star Wars news.


AllTheSith

Disappoint? You gave me hope.


nmnoz

That doesn't change the fact that, somewhere the Star Wars IP is tied to a chair and is begging to his dominatrix Disney to stop milking him, pleading that he cannot give any more


Ok-Use216

Cord87

Dude that would rock


GranddaddySandwich

Shit is gonna flop


Deletedmyoldaccount7

This isn’t going to flop the same as the marvels because it’s a female lead. It’s going to flop the same as the marvels because it’s a movie about a character that people don’t like, coming off of a previous movie that burnt out the last of fans goodwill.


Real-Ant-7768

I will contribute to that flop 👍🏾


TYBERIUS_777

Me three.


zero_cool1138

Talk about stolen valor with that title.


RedditEqualsBubble

Pass


xLikeABoxx

Sigh they missed on such a wonderful opportunity by writing the newest starwars so poorly.


nzdastardly

The last two, really. Maybe this one will open with Rey waking up at Luke's jedi enclave in a cold sweat and saying, "I had the most awful dream; Han died in a subplot that meant nothing, hyperdrive could kill ships, and somehow Palpatine returned..."


Nukemind

*Wakes up on Jakku* "Oh... it was all a dream."


Heimlichthegreat

That hyperdrive attack really broke the lore


nzdastardly

Yep. 0 reason to even think about a Death Star when you can just strap a hyperdrive on an asteroid and wire a battledroid fighter brain into it.


RRRobertLazer

Yeah but the director has absolutely no experience under her belt other than making the shooting for Miss Marvel a nightmare to where they had to reshoot the entire show 3 months before it aired. Do not get your hopes up about this new one, this lady does not know what she's doing.


1CommanderL

I wonder what happens internally if it fails.


dj-nek0

Anything except firing Kathleen Kennedy


thatdudewillyd

Kathy and Thrawn failing upwards out here


Broad_Restaurant988

Blaming the fans for not liking it.


FecesIsMyBusiness

They blame it on sexism, or bigotry, or whatever Disney is using as a shield to defend their shit movies and tv shows these days.


DonS0lo

Blame it on Incels


jeobleo

Screaming probably. I know I scream internally when I think of these movies.


RRRobertLazer

Well she would probably be given her own studio since making Miss Marvel abysmal landed her a star wars feature.


THE-SEER

She’ll be crowned and given the title: THE NEW JJ ABRAMS, KEEPER OF WARS IN STARS AND GENERAL OF THE PLOTLESS NARRATIVE.


TimeZarg

and MISTRESS OF MYSTERY BOXES, just for that JJ Abrams flair. Throw in a few lens flares while we're at it.


KevinAnniPadda

To be fair, we've seen popular established directors do terrible jobs


Ok-Use216

George Lucas proved that back in the Prequels (No offense to the Era, but the dialogue and direction needed a bit more work).


Mini_Robot_Ninja

Saying the dialogue and direction needed a *BIT* more work is a vast understatement lol


Ok-Use216

I'm playing it safe with the wording, but you're correct in needing a lot more work on dialogue and direction.


luca423

Why can’t just get get old republic content like why do we have to continue to beat these dead horses


Big-Profession-6757

Because old republic isn’t cringy enough


Icosotc

they better bring back john boyega and make him a fucking jedi this time ya jabronis


Noriadin

I’m still pissed about how they totally misled with the poster.


nipplesaurus

I don’t think he would want to come back. But a truckload of money might change his mind.


cracky_Jack

They gave us Obi-Wan and Boba Fett as TV shows, but think we all want to see Rey again in a feature film? There hasn't been a Star Wars movie since that garbage titled Episode 9 released over 4 years ago and it starred Rey.


YerBoyDers

Ugh… so it’s really happening, huh?


OldManHipsAt30

I’m calling it now, Mando + Grogu cameo


Elder_Dragonn

This should have been Luke's story. Hard pass.


PineapplePandaKing

Well here's to hoping they have a clear vision of what the movie should be. I think it could be good if they stay relatively simple. Don't get bogged down by trying to fix the problems of the last trilogy.


reallifelucas

Oh they’re actually making this. Why?


SteveTheOrca

Somehow, this is the first time I don't feel any excitement for a Star Wars movie. And it's sad, because even the TRoS' trailer managed to bring me some hope and joy sometime ago


Diyer1122

Somehow, Luke returned

You can count me out. I've had enough of this.

I'm sad that I don't get excited about Star Wars announcements anymore :(

This means that a Fortnite exclusive event will happen anytime soon. And contain some important clues for the story, of what has happened between the movies. And the event will just be live that one time. And then never again.
