It was just some random fan who stumbled onto set and George liked him so much he put him in.

Star Wars EP.9 Story Rumor/Leak So Far (Spoilers obviously) (Now with poll!)

Reformulate your question, please.
E:
- "How dare you unironically say it is awful?" - It's an opinion.
- "A Fortnite reference? Really?" - Well, sort of. The crawl apparently describes an EP9 trailer scene which was officialy revealed "exclusively" in Fortnite. Once we see the movie we'll see if it's trailer-exclusive, and if it is, then describing this situation well in two words is hard; a "Fortnite reference" will do.

oh my
The title crawl actually references Fortnite?
Oh god that delivery by Daisy is atrocious, at least try to ham it up Jesus.
Love how Sheev goes out though.
Endgame did this shit a lot better lmao Abrams the hack fraud.
What that post meant is that it describes a scene only officially seen in Fortnite (yet). I don't think we know yet if it's in the movie itself.
The fabled kiss.
This could be worse than Rose and Finn kiss in TLJ.One more
At least he disappears into the Force so they can always bring him back, maybe do some contrived shit and find a way to bring Force Ghosts back to the physical world permanently.
Oof. That isn't good.
Same with the Mandalorian preview clip they showed after credits. It looks far worse than I imagined
This shit is so god damn wack. I can believe Palpatine claiming he's all the Sith. That crazy fucker has earned that right. But in what way has Rey earned the right to say the same shit about representing all the Jedi? I really dislike this trilogy. None of this is earned or paid off.
Wasn't that the TLJ arc? All the knowledge Luke had was passed on to Rey.
It's Arya Stark killing the Night King all over again isn't it.
Y'all why the fuck did they get the guy who did Batman v Superman and Justice Leauge to write this?
Sure it was but that doesn't mean it was successful there. I never bought that crap. But it's entirely different to say it out loud and claim it for yourself. It sounds dumb as hell.
This movie's problem and more largely this trilogy is the need to up the stakes and make the newest characters stronger in some fucking way than the last. What more anime way to do that shit than to claim you represent everything that came before you? To have your lineage tied to the greatest Sith of all time? For Palpatine himself to be shooting lightning out of his asshole now? Boooo this man
I'm expecting lots of cheers that just die away immediately as he dissolves 😥The fabled kiss.
When they said the movie played it safe, they really, really meant it. Fuck this shit.
Yikes at that that Palpy clip
"I am all the Sith/Jedi" just really feels like a shitty attempt at copying Avengers Endgame's "I am inevitable/Iron Man". Which is fitting, because the entire marketing for this turkey always felt like it was trying to cash in on Endgame's success by labeling itself was the grand finale to the "Skywalker Saga".
It's just...ugh.

So will we all just pretend the sequel trilogy were never made, in the same light that there never were any sequels to the matrix?
Prequels - 1
ST - 0

This is an "pls clap" scene but the fact that not a single cheer was made shows how bad it is
The fabled kiss.
Shippers won, looks like my friend is going to die happy. Can't wait to see her reaction.
Honestly after everything I'm just more deflated at this trilogy. From the bait and switch to the start, 2 resets of the galaxy, the return of Empire vs Rebels and now a hot garbage finale......
Please purge Lucasfilm of everyone involved with the trilogy and start anew. I think they're very close to running out of runway before it's too tainted.

Everyone will hate this movie which will bring balance to TLJ fans and haters. The prophecy is finally complete.
Dudes, are you really watching random clips out of context as a proof this movie is awfull. Seriously? The hate boner for this trilogy is strong it seems.
I'm not sure yet if the Rey Palpatine was such a good choice and it does feel like a retcon of sorts, but it doesn't diminish the moment in TLJ which was a character moment first and foremost. It's what Rey doesn't want to hear, but needs to hear. And which puts her in a vulnerable place. It leads to the best 'join me' moment in the whole saga imo, where you can actually doubt what Rey will do.
The Palpatine reveal does this again in a way, it's a truth she needs to grow beyond. I'm kind of conflicted about it, because I like what it does with the character (even though the movie leaves to little room to breath, because it is so focussed on plot-plot-plot at times). So in the end I didn't take offence with the 'retcon' as much as I'd thought before (I hadn't read leaks, but there were those interview comments hinting to it)
The thing also is, this movie aknowledges TLJ over and over again. Sometimes in a joke (the saber throw gets a really good pay-off here), sometimes in story (Rey going to Ach-Too and Luke giving her the pep-talk (again not enough room to breathe, but it's there), the bond between Rey and Kylo, the Resistance being down to a few, ...). And it's hard to take offence with some throwaway lines like 'I made Snoke' by Palpatine. It's clearly there to quelm some criticism, but doesn't change a thing.
The problems I have with TROS are not really linked to it 'fixing' TLJ, because to me this movie felt like the end of a pretty coherent trilogy (only Palpatine returning could've used a better set-up. It comes a bit from nowhere now). My main issue with it is that it has so much uneccesairy plot, that characters have little room to breath. Poe and Finn have a lot of stuff to do, but there is very little story they live trough. They don't go trough a process of change like they did in TLJ (and Finn in TFA), there is no development for them left (or better: there is no time for it). Unlike TLJ it feels like this movie does have a side quest you could cut out of the movie easily (Going to find the droid hacker to unlock C-3PO's mind is fun, but in the end it is just another hurdle without consequences. Even the final battle feels to quickly played out
In the end, I think the movie does what it needs to do. TFA was a great set-up, TLJ was a great deepening and exploration of the main conflicts and TROS was an exciting resolution. And as a Star Wars fan I loved all the little winks and callbacks, and I had something in my eye at 'I'm Rey Skywalker'.
I'm a huge TLJ fan, and I liked TROS. There will be TLJ-fans that will be conflicted about it, but I think they'll make the same reasoning mistakes some TLJ critics do. They look at the lore, not at the story that is told with it.
