The Rise of Skywalker General Star Wars Episode IX News/Speculation Thread - Part 1

[I Am The Knight]

I am going to be honest, I forgot them. Just like Rian did.

There are some bad covers for those Greatest Moments, but that takes the cake. They did an awful job with her face.

And why is it a Greatest Moment?

 

[Snow Queen]

And why is it a Greatest Moment?

Because they were really proud of that Decoder Ring they found at the bottom of specially marked Star Wars cereal boxes.

 

[Zorro]

Those new vehicles needs to be Battlefront II dlc!

 

[VSG]

The only new importat character is going to be Jannah. The Knights are the new Dart Maul. Cool design and a very good development..in the eu.

 

[Zorro]

Darth Maul was still badass in Phantom Menace and so hopefully the Knights get that than the Jango and Bobba Fett treatment

 

[Marvolo]

I think at most the Knights' role will be like the Children of Thanos in Infinity War. Throwaway enforcers that will be unceremoniously killed off when it serves the plot.

It will always irk me that they created the Knights and couldn't make the creative jump to the Knights being the antagonists of the new films. Here JJ had a new Order of evil knights introduced at a time when the new Jedi Order is being born. It's the perfect setup for a long running conflict throughout many films. Unlike the Sith, the films could show the birth and development of the Knights and the origin of their conflict with the new Jedi.

Not feeling the humour in that clip. But then, that’s nothing new for this trilogy.

Seems like classic Star Wars humor IMO. But maybe that’s just me.

I don’t think Star Wars has ever been especially hilarious. Even in the classic films it’s mostly just a handful of beats from Ford.

This to me felt like it was trying too hard, but I also felt that in TFA and TLJ.

The humor in the sequel trilogy definitely feels more forced and cheesy at times. Wasn’t too bad in TFA but TLJ really overdid it and this new clip seems like more of the same from TLJ in regards to humor

Mandalorian has had its share of humor, especially in the first episode with IG-11, but that felt more natural like it did in the OT

 

[Marvolo]

Mando's humor is deadpan and understated.

The humor in TFA is pretty normal for JJ's films.

 

[spiderman2]

TFA handled the humor better then any star wars movie has. One of the many things that makes TFA a amazing movie.

 

[BatLobster]

Abrams reveals his favorite prequel trilogy scene comes from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. “I think my favorite scene from the prequels is when the Emperor’s telling Anakin the story of Darth Plagueis the Wise,” he says. “There’s just something about that scene. They’re just two people sitting there. It’s visually interesting. But I think Ian’s performance in it is spectacular.”

J.J., you sure know how to talk dirty to me.

 

[Gothamsknight]

^^ mine too, JJ! Mine, too.

Daisy is on Good Morning America this morning.

 

[scarlet-witch]

Hopefully she comes with a new clip and some interesting comments.

 

[terry78]

Just saw a small shot of her, rocking all red everything.

 

[StarLord]

 

[JOE]

Daisy has me feeling some kind of way...

 

[Broseph44]

I had no problem with any of the humor in TFA, that felt very much like Star Wars humor to me. When it comes to TLJ I honestly don’t remember much of the humor but I remember General Hugs. God awful.

 

[terry78]

Dem perfect teeth tho. She disproves that old stereotype tenfold.

 

[scarlet-witch]

I love the humor of the new trilogy. Especially Finn's when he teases Rey about Jakku and her "boyfriend"

 

[StarLord]

 

[Gothamsknight]

^^ Sounds to me like it was John haha.


As for the humor, I love it. I don't know why some people have some issues with the humor in that clip. It reminds me of TFA humor as well as the OT humor.
