General Leia's untimely demise would be mentioned in the opening crawl, as having recently occured. The movie would start with the Millennium Falcon arriving at a funeral for her. Some words are said about Han and Luke as well, making it a funeral for the Original Trilogy's trio. Luke's Ghost would show up at the funeral to talk to Rey, and he would confirm that Leia is one with the Force now, and a Ghost.
Kylo Ren is angry at Hux (who had Leia destroyed). He comes a bit closer the Light Side.
Then a bunch of stuff happens and it ends with Ben Solo walking off toward the sunset to find a new path.
I like it. I especially like that you remembered to open it with a spaceship. I don't know if Leia could actually become a force ghost, considering her low level of Force Knowledge and how even only a few Jedi mastered becoming a ghost, but I feel like that is something they might do as a tribute to Carrie Fisher. In that way, I'm fine with it. Seems a good tribute.
Can you elaborate on 'a bunch of stuff'?
Ooh, make him walk off into a double sunset. That would be poetic and perfect.
Well, I thought since Anakin was able to become a Ghost, even though he was only recently redeemed, then Leia would probably be able to. Just my take on things though. I was thinking they could even hijack some unused footage for a cameo as a Ghost near the end.
Well, I'm rather undecided on that stuff. Since Ben will have started to reject the First Order, and Snoke is dead, there won't be much of a threat without some sort of destructive weapon, but I don't want another Death Star. I do want Rey, Ben, and Finn to work together at some point, and I want Anakin's Ghost to help convince Ben to leave the Dark Side.
I'm working on the bulk of the middle and end, though, I'll post a more complete summary here.
We've had enough binary sunsets, I'll have him walk off into a triple sunset (which does rarely exist), signifying the end of three trilogies.
Ignore everything I say, to the best of your ability.
It sounds like I might be a bigger Han fan than you.
But I 100% agree with that second paragraph.
That's probably true. I like Han, but as far as the original trio of main characters go, I was always more of a Luke guy.
Good. Otherwise we would need to fight. More seriously, I am especially looking forward to it because it looks like, at the least, it will deliver on being fun. Of course, there's always a danger of raising the "fun" expectations too high which is dangerous.... I don't want to choke on my expectations.
Don't make me choose from the original three! They're all great.
I do wonder exactly why Lord and Miller were fired. I'm worried that their vision was what I wanted from this film. Lucasfilm has had too many complications!
-Rogue One reshoots -Carrie Fisher's death -Colin Trevarrow fired -Lord and Miler fired
What's next?
Ignore everything I say, to the best of your ability.
I want it to be built in her staff, but I'm 95% certain she's just going to reforge the same Lightsaber. It's only broken into two pieces, and she has both.
Ugghhh, do we really need to bring that lightsaber back again?
Ignore everything I say, to the best of your ability.
I did! It was very good. I think Chris Pratt explained the film best when he compared it to a combination of Shakespeare and James Bond. And, somewhat rarely for a Marvel film, both villains are really good. Klaue is pure fun, and Michael B. Jordan's character (anyone know if I am allowed to say his name on here?) is really deep and has meaningful motives.
Shakespeare + Bond is an accurate description. Wow.
Both villains were excellent! Erik Killmonger's (we can say his name, he has a minifigure) motivations were deep and Andy Serkis is my one true love.
It's probably tied with Guardians of the Galaxy as my favorite Marvel Studios film.

You should be able to say Jordan's name, but I ain't a mod. :3
There you are! I thought you left just like you said last year.
How was The Last Jedi and Black Panther for you (if you've seen them)? TLJ is unfortunately a 5/10 for me while Black Panther is a 9.8/10 (despite me starting to find it a bit boring in my second viewing with my friends).

Seen Black Panther twice last week. In my first viewing, I came with my siblings and in my second viewing, with my friends who were my former classmates and some former schoolmates as our reunion. Was supposed to see it once only since the original plan was to see it on Friday last week on Chinese New Year since there were no classes that day. However, because there were attendance problems, which always made our reunions cancelled, I moved it to the Saturday and came with my siblings to watch it the day before.
We got late again in my first viewing and this time, I'm to blame, but then again, I'm to blame for almost everything that happens here at home... Anyway, the opening and the middle part were a bit boring, and the plot was just a bit predictable. Also, the CGI was a bit bad, though not that noticeable; but other than those rants, it was great. I think I can say it's the best MCU film yet (hopefully to be topped by Infinity War). The humor was good and I'm also glad that it we had another "serious" MCU film again since The Winter Soldier and Civil War. Killmonger was another great MCU villain and I nearly cried for him too. The action scenes, while not as good as the action scenes in The Winter Soldier, Civil War, The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (Yondu's arrow scene), and Thor: Ragnarok, were also great, particularly the casino brawl and maybe also the car chase scene. The overuse of shaky cam, however, got a bit too distracting and somehow made me feel like I was watching a documentary or low-budget film (mostly during the Nigeria scene). The soundtrack really did make me feel like I was watching an African movie (given the setting), though not as memorable. The story was also great and felt like the MCU's version of The Lion King. I gave it a 9.8/10 in my first viewing, though I still feel like I was overrating it a bit that time. Then in my second viewing, I started to feel a bit bored but still liked the movie. My rating started to go down to 8.5/10 despite me liking it more than the MCU movies with higher scores. Perhaps I'll still keep it to my original 9.8/10 since I'm still feeling those "Black Panther vibes" because of how good it is.
I'm going back and "polishing up" this story I wrote three years ago, and oh my god how my writing had changed since then. The whole story is dumb but I truly love it. It's everything I loved when I was 13 swuished into one giant ball with a bow barely maintaining itself after being wrapped around said ball.
I remember when you said you were doing this originally.
Ah. What is organized free verse? I honestly have no idea. Oh, definitely. I am not a poet, and I know it. (Heh)
Yessssssss. Luke's storyline was great. The only thing I would've preferred is if he had the green at the end instead of the blue. I like what they did with Rey, too. This movie was pretty much about Rey getting disappointed. She was disappointed in Luke, disappointed in Kylo, and then disappointedly in who her parents ended up being. I loved what they did with Kylo. He is now Supreme Leader which I never would have guessed going in. And he sort of overcame his patheticness, which was a great arc.
Do you mean the storyline or the relationship with Finn and Rose? I liked the storyline, but, yeah, I agree that the relationship was a bit forced. (Heh. Pun not intended.) I didn't hate Holdo. I didn't LOVE her either, but I think she's a solid edition to Star Wars. I wish we got more Ackbar though. Yes, he was.
My own invention, someday I will be famous for it. Oldest joke ever!
I think Luke pulled out the blue lightsaber to torment Kylo, you know he wants it. I hope they don't turn Rey into some "You can be anything" thing, that's all. And yes, Kylo was better, although, he was a little........mopey.
Both. I thought the storyline was too complicated and hard to follow, it was all over the place. And I thought it was WAY to forced between Finn and Rose. Star Wars usually doesn't have forced romances, Anakin and Padme was pretty good, Han and Leia was excellent, but Finn and Rose are awkward. I think Finn and Rey would go way smoother. I will be honest, I never liked Ackbar, and I don't like Holdo. I just don't like admirals. He had more of a role in this one.
Oh. Can you explain how it works?
No, the oldest joke ever is "I am a poet and I know it." I said "I am NOT a poet and I know it." which makes it a brand new and totally original joke.
Yeah, that makes sense, I just really like the green saber. I don't think they will. She'll still be a Jedi, but I think there will be less restrictions than in the Prequels. Kylo is always mopey. Or angry. He has two moods.
I really enjoyed the storyline, because I really liked DJ and because I found the setting really interesting. However, what you're saying is a common complaint, and I tend to agree about the Finn-Rose relationship. But, as much as I love the prequels, I gotta say Padme-Anakin is waaaaay more awkward, IMO. But to each his own. Opinions vary. It doesn't matter much to me, because romance is probably the thing I watch Star Wars for the least.
How can you not like Ackbar?!? :P
Yep, which was really cool because everyone loves Poe.
