Half a decade ago I posted here about an early draft of Episode VII. A lot ended up changing in the final product, but for Episode IX, I've seen a comparatively more final iteration of the script.

As then, highlight at your own risk.

The film is about finding something to stop the First Order. If that sounds frustratingly cryptic, that's because the movie itself does not reveal WHAT exactly the crew is after for most of the film. The Resistance is essentially defeated, and Rey has this big idea she claims she got from Luke, justifying it as this big Jedi secret they can't comprehend, and leads them on a quest to get "the thing." It's almost immediately apparent that Rey doesn't actually believe what she's selling, though. For most of the film it's a bit like the "rabbit's foot" from JJ's Mission: Impossible III: a MacGuffin for MacGuffin's sake.

There's a lot of bouncing from planet to planet, finding clues to the whereabouts of "the thing," with skirmishes with pirates, aliens, the Knights of Ren, and the First Order. Hardly any of that matters, and it's the journey that counts. It's like a fun road movie, in space. The core of the film is the bond between the main characters, on a desperate last adventure with no other options; a bit like The Goonies.

The MacGuffin is not the mystical superweapon Rey suggests it is, but rather something she learned about when salvaging junk on Jakku: it's the code base of an old Republic Holonet system, an antenna from the second Death Star, and C-3PO.

The film is essentially about broadcasting the story of Luke Skywalker to everyone in the galaxy.

There's the typical big space battles and a final showdown with Kylo Ren, but that all goes about how you expect. Even the Palpatine is more of a Kylo-motivating dark side red herring (it's a holocron he discovered years ago, which inspired his fall from the start).

There aren't any major twists or canon-shaking lore reveals.

As far as I can tell, "The Rise of Skywalker" refers to his name being known everywhere. A speech he recorded addressed to the ordinary people of the galaxy plays over the ending montage, which shows Rey training a new generation of Jedi.

uh space pirates are cool i guess

implying luke wouldn't immediately be famous after the events of ROTJ

>The core of the film is the bond between the main characters
Good. The rest sounds shit, but I can support that.

That's why I don't even understand what that whole plot is supposed to accomplish.

But Luke was already super famous, Rey knew about him while living in some shithole, Finn knew about him living as a sheltered stormtrooper, Poe knew about him, everyone knew about him.

What you're saying sounds plausible though.

What exactly is the Palpatine's involvement? He's just a cassette tape?

Thank you, that doesn't sound half bad, although some actual plot twists would be appreciated in this trilogy.

Actually sounds legit to me, if all those side skirmishes/adventures are callbacks to the OT. Something like Endor, something like Jabba, etc.

Honestly sounds alright. I love the idea of C3P-0 being important to the plot. Kinda ties everything together nicely. Also, wouldn't Threepeo be a Skywalker technically?

>All this shit to broadcats a story of Luke Skywalker. More meta commentary, it's just a movie, Luke doesn't exist it's just about hope and shit...

>A long time ago in a galaxy far far away....

OH GOD

This would be a hilariously shit plot

first a jungle/forest planet, and then a desert planet?

3PO and r2 were always the main characters. The original drafts were titled Droids. The force is also very strong with him. Theyre the heros and everything is happening to them.

Oh, so the title refers to C3PO, it's obvious now!

JJ has already confirmed that The Emperor is returning in flesh, not as a holocron though.

honestly this sounds kino as fuck. The whole story, all three trilogies are the story A LONG TIME AGO IN A GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY are being told by Rey/C3P0/R2D2. The whole story is pro-Skywalker propaganda being broadcast in the Star Wars War.

I'm sold.

Fuck yall my dick is wet as fuck right now.

Nah, yer a fag.

AND FUCK RIAN JOHNSON

Wasn’t the entire point of Episode 8, including the scene with broom boy, the fact that Luke Skywalker’s legend had already made it out to the galaxy and inspired everyone?

>The Rise of Skywalker
>not Rise of the Skywalker

gayyy, could have kept with the naming scheme from episodes 3 and 6.

>they turned the entire saga of Anakin and Luke Skywalker into the setup for a bunch of Disney films that don't resemble either of the first two trilogies

Motherfuckers.

I believe this. And it's the best we can hope for, quite frankly. It almost feels like an apology for TFA and TLJ.

This doesny make any sense. So they went from shitting on luke and calling everyone who thought they fucked his character man babies. To now hes the big awesome hero everyone in the galaxy needs to know about?? What a joke of a franchise these nu wars are. 3 films in a trilogy that have next to zero canon betwern them.

What role do Rey's parent play in all this though?

Attached: 06qud50auwr21.jpg (2048x2048, 139K)

scripts change massively over different drafts. this isn't far enough from how TFA turned out that it couldn't be true. if they really hadn't cast the actors yet at this time then it's completely plausible.

>The film is essentially about broadcasting the story of Luke Skywalker to everyone in the galaxy.

And what about to everyone in other galaxies far far away?

And quite frankly, this thread is not inconsistent with

sounds true

It doesn't matter. None of this matters.

it's hilarious how incompetent they are

>So they went from shitting on luke and calling everyone who thought they fucked his character man babies.

Are there screencaps of this?

This sounds like a fucking joke.

has there ever been a less consequential trilogy of movies

actually sounds decent, but I still will never see it because disney has already tarnished everything

sounds boring as fuck, i´ll skip this movie

you are a retard. looks legit, the ending was changed, everything else fits. this was almost 2 years before the movie came out.

Too little, too late.

the whole "going on an adventure to find a treasure" plot was supposed to be ep7. wish they would have stuck with it

bumpt tyme.

seems like both of the leaks kind of fit togehter

Too bad the main characters are shit. Who gives a damn about unlikeable, unrelatable characters bond?

even the empires grunts know about Luke
>lets let the galaxy know his story

Good Disney is crashing Star Wars with no survivors, it's about time

Attached: 1428975629924.png (283x302, 105K)

So the film is about telling the story of the Skywalkers, forever. It could even reach a galaxy far far away a long time from now?
Yeah, that sounds about right, and I kind of love it.

>the end of the saga
F

>>A long time ago in a galaxy far far away....
>OH GOD

HOLY SHIT, This is actually legit. The entire Skywalker saga is being told by Luke.

>tfw there's a universe out there where this is Episode 7, and the new trilogy opens up with this + maybe 5-10 minutes of what was covered in Force Awakens + Jedi)
hope they like it

>A speech he recorded addressed to the ordinary people of the galaxy plays over the ending montage, which shows Rey training a new generation of Jedi.

Lol why didn't you post this literally any time but the day the trailer got released?

She's palpatine's daughter. It's confirmed.

No wonder Disney is taking a break from SW for a few years, they're jumping the shark hardcore if this is true.

Sounds pretty ok i guess. So luke is still dead, we don't get to see him do any cool shit with a lightsaber. That explains why he wasn't in the trailer physically. Thanks.

This is 100% right.

>shit on Luke Skywalker and ruin his character
>make fun of any fan that criticized the decision
>Kathleen Kennedy: Goys! I totes don’t hate Luke! Look! We named the last movie after him! And look! We sent a signal story about him! Give us your shekels and support our feminist propaganda!

I wish everyone at Disney would die.

It's being told by Threepio and Artoo. They're in every movie.

lol so Snoke is made even more pointless

I hope it's a quest for the back up of threepio's memory

>the planet itself is the weapon
it's real... I can't wait for the basedwars rageporn

technically the holocron would be a recording of him so yeah it would be him in the flesh he does not mean in the flesh in your weird nerd way you dumb dumb

^this. Lucas said that R2 and 3PO were the sole survivors to tell the tale of what happened.

This all legit. The holocron is Vader’s helmet. Surprised no one has ever noticed that’s where his essence goes in ROTJ. Basically Palpatine’s essence has been guiding Kylo all along and he thought it was his grandfather.

I don't believe a single thing on Yea Forums ever but this so-called "leak" sounds actually legit. If they could add a plot twist it would make it actually decent.

Doesn't sound that bad.

That already happened in ROTJ.
C3PO is narrating the saga so far to the Ewoks. Complete with sound effects.

Snoke was Sidious all along?

>movie ends with Rey saying "they'll be telling this story a long, long time from now in galaxies far, far away

No ya doorknob part of Palpatine was in Vader’s mask. Like a holocron.

Ahhh man fuck that shit. I am not even gonna see this in the theaters.

but who was Snoke?

>user copies Gundam Unicorn's plot
>no one in Yea Forums recognizes it
This is funny.

does this mean rey is marida?

Sounds like they're basically making the Book of the Whills canon.

>Be 2015
>user leaks TFA
>”lol user just mixed the plots of Search for Spock and A New Hope”

a high ranking member of the empire who was difigured in an accident and sought to heal his wounds with the dark side of the force. in the long run, a nobody.

I don’t know he’s gettig a comic series or something. I personally don’t care, he was always just for Kylo to overcome because Palpatine was telling him to overthrow him and rule the galaxy.

This sounds good, how come we ended up with what we got?

Have you ever seen the concept art for TFA? It could've been the kinoest SW movie of all times but instead they went with crass mediocrity and the rest is history.

Yup this sounds awful enough to be true. Pack it up everyone.

This is the most 2019 liberal sounding plan ever, and is why this is probably the real plot.

JUST EDUCATE THE BAD GUYS ABOUT WHY THEY'RE BAD LOUDLY ENOUGH ON THE INTERNET AND EVENTUALLY THEY'LL STOP BRO

>Mizzlewump !!IOH/04sYRcN

This was the original Mizzlewump whose tripcode does not match OP (fagot)

Sounds cool, but Luke is already famous in Disney canon as well as confirmed by BF2 story mode. I suppose they'll wave it off with a line like "they know his name and what he did, but not what he was really about!" to justify the film but it's still iffy. Sounds completely plausible though. I like the idea of the story of the Skywalkers actually making it to our universe in some way, hence the "a long time ago". I had a similar head fanon as a child.

Two Disneybucks ™ have been deposited in your Disneyforce ™ accounts. Thank you for your cervix.

This sounds like damage control. The climax of an entire trilogy that is the end of one of cinema's most beloved sagas is...a McGuffin chase sequence that ends in a radio broadcast to the galaxy...

I hope this isn't real. After TLJ I can't imagine how they salvage this trilogy, but this can't be the answer. It's just such a lazy bullshit nonanswer. Maybe Rian was right. Let the past die; kill it, if you have to.

>yfw the entire trilogy was leading up to an advertisement for Disney+

This is literally a Russian propagandist. Take your UnAmerican nigger shit and kill yourself you fucking communist.

I can see the "and that's a good thing" articles now

Be sure to drink your Ovaltine.

I knew some dickhead would show up after the trailer with some conveniently timed leaks that are kinda hinted at during the trailer.

Before the trailer, not one person mentioned Death Star wreckage, Palpatine or Endors moon.

Fake news.
