‘Star Wars’: Oscar Isaac says Carrie Fisher’s still ‘with us’ filming ‘Episode IX’

In the battle against the evil First Order, Isaac thinks it’s easy to forget that the Resistance “are guerrilla fighters, adhering closer to something like the Revolutionary War fighters or even the guerrillas in Cuba with Che and Fidel and all these guys living in the mountains, coming down to do some attacks, and going back and trying to hide from the ‘empire’ of the United States. It’s that kind of ragged at this point.

…

“It is a war movie,” Isaac says. “I mean, above and beyond, it is a movie about warriors.”

Shit, they’re not getting a huge upgrade to manpower? HOW THE FUCK ARE THEY GOING TO WIN otoh he did compare the Resistance to successful revolutionary movements…🤔

Doesn’t look like it, though that does lead to several interesting theories. For one thing it looks like we’re going to see actual guerrilla warfare on screen, only time we’ve got close to that was in Rogue One.

Another is that part of both campaigns is that a lot of it was finding allies, so instead of the ally finding taking place off screen we may get to see that too.

But you know, with all of this, it looks more and more like this is going to be a two parter. JJ simply has too much happening to be able to fit it into one movie, there seems to be more than enough plot for two in fact.

Yeah, for a Rebellion they had very little guerilla-ing going on in the movies. The main Rebellion seemed a well-funded military with multiple Senators in the leadership, and actual guerillas like Saw were called terrorists and extremists. It would be cool to see Episode IX show heroic characters being guerillas/partisans on a sustained basis, which was inevitable after the ending of TLJ. I kind of expected that part to be done during the time skip, but EpIX may be showing at least the tail end of that time period. Maybe the characters shown in the outdoors scene with Finn and Poe are representative of the allies the Resistance is gathering. It also raises the question of when Lando will make his appearance and what kind of resources he will bring to the table.

It seems really late in the game to announce a two-parter–Lionsgate announced it two years in advance for Mockingjay, and if LF is going to go that route it seems we would have heard something by now. But then again LF under Disney and KK has not been a terribly well run operation so nothing would surprise me at this point.

What if Rey doesn’t want to be a Jedi after the war?

Unlike Anakin, who was escaping a life of slavery, and Luke, who literally was escaping the Empire and life as a farmer, Rey only wanted her family and to be happy with her life. What if being a Jedi isn’t what Rey wants? Yes, she wanted to understand what the force was and she wants to end the war, but none of that actually has to do with her future or what she specifically wants for herself.

What if after the dust clears and the New Republic is stable again, Rey leaves the future of the Jedi in the hands of Finn, if he’s confirmed to be force sensitive finally, or maybe Luke, if he’s alive, or anyone force sensitive like Ahsoka or Ezra, if they’re alive. Long story short, what if Rey decides that being a Jedi, isn’t for her.

Maybe Rey decides that instead of becoming a warrior, she wants to help people in another way.

Maybe Rey works her ass off and manages to become a Senator for Jakku, and persuades the New Republic fo accept the Desert planet as part of it.

Rey knows what it’s like to live on a horrible Outer Rim World and fights to start getting these forgotten worlds the help they need. Regardless of if Rey is a Skywalker or a random, maybe she can finally find some peace and happiness outside of battle.

I like the idea of Rey going on to start the Jedi Order again, but I like the fact of Rey also getting to walk away from war for good if that’s what she wants.

Think back on how much suffering Anakin and Luke went through… maybe for once, Rey can be the Jedi who walks away, but not to the dark side, or because she was exiled, but just because for the first time ever, Rey wants to live her own life.

Maybe she’ll become Chancellor one day, or maybe she will just stay as senator, helping out the worlds that she can, and then retire one day and live out her years with her family and loved ones. I don’t know, It’s a thought.

This. Let Rey be defined by what SHE wants, not what others demand of her because of her power.

The Enemies to Lovers Trope vs. Rey and Kylo in the Force Awakens

A Look at the Enemies to Lovers Trope vs. #Rey and #KyloRen in #StarWars #TheForceAwakens

Tropes serve the function of signaling story elements to the audience and of providing shortcuts to understanding said story. While badly-written tropes can come off as “cliche,” the most common fiction tropes are so popular, and are relied on so heavily, because they have a fundamental logic to them that the creators know most or much of the target audience will grasp instinctively. However,…

Hey are reynos just making shit up now because they said Rey tried to pull out of Finn’s hug in TFA and he wouldn’t let her? Didn’t Han tell them to cut it out or something and then they stopped hugging?

captainamericagf:

oh my god do you have a link to that at all? bc that is literally completely made up 100%

Someone send me who said this shit. First of Rey pulled Finn in to the hug Second Finn was socked at first at first then start hugging her back. I’m pretty sure they would have hugged as long as they can but Han told them “ leave now , hug later ”

Yeah Rey is totally trying to pull away here.

So much she practically leaps onto Finn and throws her arms around him. She’s clearly uncomfortable here and trying to pull away.

Warning: This post may contain high amounts of sarcasm.

I guess they’ll make up anything to push their narrative that Finn is an aggressive creep who’s besmirching Rey’s pure white womanhood, I guess.

It really is time for the Jedi to end

Morality, Trust, and the Force–toward a new model of Force instruction

What went so fatally wrong with the Jedi Order?

It’s a recurring and fundamental question. Through the prequel, original, and now sequel trilogies we’ve watched the Jedi Order fall, rise, and then fall again. Unless they can end this cycle the end of Episode IX won’t be an end, but rather a prelude to a new tragedy.

I believe the old Jedi Order’s reliance on inborn Force power became warped into blood worship in Luke’s new Jedi Order, and Kylo Ren was a product of this repugnant and ahistorical belief. To overcome the mistakes of the old and new Orders, a new model of Force instruction must arise: One that does not rely on inborn talent and certainly not on the nonsensical idea that a lineage confers a special destiny or rights. Rather the new model must recognize and nurture the Force powers inherent in everyone, and instruction itself should be a horizontal process where the students teach each other.

Below I will lay out these ideas in more detail. First I will explain the progression from the old Jedi Order to the new one, and how discontinuity in history led to Luke’s mistakes and Kylo Ren. Then I will lay out the new model that I believe must take the Jedi’s place in order to prevent new Kylo Rens from arising, or at least minimize their damage, while also avoiding the mistakes of the old Jedi Order.

@lj-writes Thanks for the shout out and I agree with this how more than likely how a new Order would go, mostly because beyond your theory making complete sense, something like this had happened in the Star Wars Universe already. 

It’s like poetry, it Rhymes. 

In the Game Kotor 2, after the happy ending of Kotor 1, the Jedi and Sith are all but gone, and by then end of the game, the Jedi and Sith are pretty much dead. All that is left is a Jedi Exile and the companions they trained in the force who would go on to start a New Jedi Order. These companions were nothing like the original older. They were adults, had formed attachments in their life, and had entire careers outside of the Jedi and force.

And if you’re looking for a further parallel between your theory and Kotor, you could compare the relationship of Finn and Rey to the Male Exile and Brianna, or even the Female Exile with Atton.

That’s awesome! The inborn special powers aspect is one of my least favorite parts of the franchise, I’d love for Episode IX to do away with that and it’s good to know there’s precedent for this model.

“Beyond narrative reasons, the main reason I don’t ship or like Finn with Rose or Poe is the same reason I don’t ship or like Rey with Rose or Poe, because to do is to erase the canon romantic relationship between Finn and Rey, and I don’t like or approves of that.” Finnrey is as canon as Reylo, aka not at all. The only two people to share an explicit romantic moment are a Finn and Rose. Why did everyone forget what the word canon actually means?

themandalorianwolf:

Reylow, is a crack ship.

And by canon, I meant it’s literally The only ship the sequel movies have shown they care about.

All of TFA is pretty much them falling for the other, and TLJ is them working back to each other.

Reylow is like the definition here of a kink fetish. All Kylo has tried to do in the last two movies is try to murder Rey. People wanna ship it, that’s they’re concern, but don’t expect not to have people talk shit about it.

Finnrose is Johnson being lazy. At best you can call it a one sided kiss out of the Canada. The two had no romantic scenes, Rose is berating Finn and assaulting him for a good portion of the movie, and then randomly kisses him, a kiss he does not return and looks at her like she’s crazy, and then he goes on to embrace Rey…I actually do love Rose, but her writing was as bad as Holdo’s in TLJ.

Damerey and Finnpoe, for either of these things to happen, JJ has to pretend he didn’t mean of Finn and Rey scenes to be romantic and would rather ignore their relationship. Damerey is weird because of the age gap, and John personally has said how he preferred Finn with Rey. I know it’s not what some people want to hear, but for once how about people care about what a black person has to say.

Yeah, as someone who loved the idea of Finnrose pre-TLJ and can’t stand it anymore–it’s a terrible ship and I dearly hope it won’t be canon. Rose treated Finn like crap and seemed to see him as a fixer upper, while Finn only showed clear feelings for Rey and none for Rose. He didn’t even react to her kiss, do you have any concept of how hard that must be when someone as cute as Loan Tran is kissing you? I’ll always feel wistful about what could have been, but as things stand neither character deserves that relationship.

Daniel Craig & Tom Hardy were Stormtroopers in VII & VIII, respectively. Do you think there will be a scene in IX with a Stormtrooper uprising where they all remove their helmets and it turns out that literally EVERY Stormtrooper was a celebrity cameo? Maybe in addition to Matt Smith, other actors from science-fiction franchises like Star Trek pop up? Maybe even actors from the MCU or other Disney owned franchises?

themandalorianwolf:

Well both TFA and TLJ had lots of cameos in them from famous people or big name actors. Thomas Brodie-Sangster from GOT, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s voice was heard in Maz’s castle, Ken Leung, who was also a big character on Lost appeared as a cameo, Iko Uwais and Yayan Ruhian from The Raid appeared, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was in Canto Bright, Tom Hardy and Danial Craig were Stormtroopers, Mark Hamil’s family, Kate Dickie from GOT, 

Justin Theroux from the Leftovers, a show JJ produced, was the Master Codebreaking, Gareth Edwards, the director of Rogue One appeared, and Carrie Fisher’s own dog Gary appeared in the movie. So really all these people going crazy about the casting should just calm down. It’s nothing new lol It’s like people haven’t been paying attention to the last 4 years of Star Wars cameos.

And I think it would be interesting for there to be a Stormtrooper Rebellion in Ix. @lj-writes and Iwere discussing awhile back about a heroic version of Order 66 where the Stormtroopers turn against the First Order and redeem themselves from being the villains of the Star Wars universe, even though they have always just been victims of circumstances since they never had in power or say in what they did and were either slaves in the prequels, soldiers forced to serve their government in the originals, and stolen children and poor children reucirted for war in the squeals. Of course not every Trooper is good, and some are evil or won’t change, but the image of Stormtroopers marking themselves with three red streaks on their helmet to symbolize their rebellion and loyalty to Finn would be a great callback to TFA, when the first Stormtrooper Rebelled.

Oh gee, I guess this means Rey/C-3PO is canon. >_<

You don’t wanna know what his red arm symbolized… of course it is!

Rey will have his baby calculators 

Just imagine baby calculators though, isn’t that sweet? And they’ll be Force sensitive!

I could warm to the idea…

I’m ready now! Make this canon! Look at these little beans! 😍😍

Edit:

Look at this drama:

What did the calculator do???
