#Star Wars: episode ix

Irony

The funny thing about the reaction posts I saw in the wake of Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker is that both the hardcore Reylo shippers/Kylo redemption people and the hardcore anti-shippers/anti-redemption people posted angrily that the movie gave the other side everything they wanted. Like, are you not reading each other’s posts? You are literally exact mirrors of each other saying the same thing at the same time.

Hux: "They'll never find your body" is such a boring threat. I think a better threat would be, "they'll never stop finding your body." Phasma: "They'll be finding pieces of your body for at least four months, and you'll still be alive for three of them." Hux: Now that's threatening.

been thinking a lot about how much funnier TRoS would have been if instead of killing off Hux he escaped with the gang and was just kinda there in the background for the rest of the film

Someone used "ungood" to describe disney remakes and it's so perfect. "Bad" does not sum up the horrible soulless products created to only fulfil capitalist desires, using artists as tormented vessels, ungood captures it so well.

Artists with passion and vision create bad art. Bad art can have entertaining qualities, and value, and sparks of life inside of them. Teenage fanfic, and b movies, and a young musicians first attempt at smoke on the water are bad, and that's ok. Ungood art does not have the same saving graces as bad art. Ungood art is empty, not just failing at quality but devoid of it.

We need to start using the term ungood. Neither Star Wars episode one, nor Star Was episode nine are good movies, but they don't possess the same lack of quality. The "live action" Lion King movie, and Repo! The Genetic Opera might both be failures at putting musicals on film, but I know which one I'd rather watch, which one still has moments I love, and which one was made to make someone at Disney see a line go up.

Hux: I can't believe you assassinated our Supreme Leader! Kylo: Well, "assassinated" implies I had political motives. I actually just killed him because he was kind of a dick and that's just how the Dark Side works. So technically, I just murdered him. Hux: That's not better.

Why do I have to keep waking up to a world where Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker exists and burns down all the potential that the Sequels had

[theology101]

My biggest wish for Episode 9 was that we’d see Kylo’s Empire and it like… wouldn’t be terrible.

He doesn’t have many ships, what he has is the initiative and more concentrated firepower. For the First Order to hold territory, it would have to make concessions, alliances and agreements, as well as establishing Galactic Policy. The First Order is far too small to rule with an Iron Fist everywhere, so it in basic political terms, it must allow some consent of governance if they even want to rule.

In my mind, with the Resistance reduced to a handful, Kylo Ren would focus on abolition. He’s the son of the Huttslayer and grandson of a Slave who’s in love with a different former slave. For a Fascist State, they always require an enemy and frankly? The Hutts are a perfect one for a Fascist nation.

The Enemy is both Strong and Weak? Check. They’re fundamentally other and also infiltrators? Check. Allows for a black and white world view? Double Check.

It’s a pure propaganda move. Kylo Ren (while keeping Star Destroyers over orbit of important systems) sends the fleet and the PDFs to attack Hutt Space while he cements his leadership with political reforms (establishing a system of Moffs to lessen Hux’s political power would be key, and I would try to pick natives to the sectors) and genuineky acting on Leia’s beliefs.

Time and time again, she got held up in committee or debate. The positive changes she wanted to make were stopped by beuracracy. Kylo Ren is the Supreme Leader - id he says “Free the Slaves,” they’re free.

This also would’ve put the Resistance in a bind. Accept the support of the incredibly powerful and rich Hutt Cartels, or stay true to their morals and principles? Leia in Legends worked with the Hutts, so if her Canon counterpart did, how would Rey react?

Idk, could’ve been interesting

DinBo shows me why I think FinnRey would work so well in the post Episode IX stories. Just a hotheaded and empathetic woman with the kindest, sweetest guy you ever met standing up for each other.
