There was a suggestion (or a "leak" if one believes it) on fan boards a while ago that Hide contents Kylo will visit some sort of Oracle in Episode IX so this could potentially be what he sees there I agree. It's also worth noting that rise of Skywalker, as a title, relates to Ben Solo and not Luke or Leia. I'm almost certain this is his redemption movie. Why else bring back such an iconic villain as Palpatine. Also, props to Iain McDairmid! Such an underrated actor, even if he does ham it up now and then. I still get chills when he says in the Revenge of the Sith "Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?"

Yes we discussed it briefly a few posts above as well and I fully agree. It has to be Ben Solo; nothing else makes sense really. Him defeating Palpatine would be the perfect ending and pretty much the fulfillment of the prophecy about a Skywalker being the "chosen one" to bring the peace to the galaxy - Anakin was the starter of the bloodline hence being the one through whom the ultimate balance in the Force will be restored but the final act of the prophecy belongs to his grandson.

Ah! I really should have read the previous posts hahaha When I was at school in the early 90s, my friends were into Star Wars much more than I and l always stated that in the novels outside of the movies, it was Han and Leia's son that brought balance to the force and not Luke. Although I find this somewhat at odds with what Disney did when they bought the rights to Star Wars, they rendered almost all of that material non-canonical. That said, it does seem JJ is trying to bring the fans back on side so maybe he's lifting ideas from that.

Hmmm I'm a big fan of the Expanded Universe/Legends novels and I'm still reading them but I'm struggling to think of the one where Han and Leia's son brings balance to the force? Can't be Jacen as he turned to the Dark Side (and I think he's the inspiration for Ben Solo too!).

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted October 22, 2019 Subscriber Posted October 22, 2019 The new trailer just dropped man it looks gooood.
Cicero Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Don’t think one film can redeem this poorly written trilogy. Will still see it though

And that trailer left me terribly underwhelmed. I don't know if that's because the trailer was poor, or because I've been quite disappointed with the last film. Loved to hear Palpatine talk though.
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted October 22, 2019 Subscriber Posted October 22, 2019 Sometimes I wish they'd do shorter trailers and not leak anything to the public. Sadly, using a hype engine is so common these days. Imagine going to the theater and then finding out that Palpatine is around? Totally baffles me how the movie-makers feel when they see their surprises turned to shit by the companies that fund these movies.
nudge Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I really like the trailer; visually it is stunning and it feels very grandiose and epic. It finally feels Star Wars-like for me. Not sure how good the movie will be and whether or not it will bring a satisfying ending to the saga but one thing for sure it's going to be a feast for the eyes. That C-3PO scene though... 6 hours ago, Mel81x said: Sometimes I wish they'd do shorter trailers and not leak anything to the public. Sadly, using a hype engine is so common these days.

It would be great but I think it's impossible these days with so much information being leaked on social media and whatnot. And I'm not even talking small details; whole plot lines are being leaked and it just takes so much fun away if you don't manage to stay away from it. This trailer I think was one of the better ones in terms of not revealing too much and it seems they're saving the big ones for the big screen.

This trailer I think was one of the better ones in terms of not revealing too much and it seems they're saving the big ones for the big screen. This is why I actively avoid people discussing trailers just because you know someone is going to say "Oh this is what they are going to do" and then you think to yourself that its ruined and all they'll really do on release day is say its a crappy movie when they spend months prior to it discussing the outcome they want based on information that would have made it a great watch had they not known.
