He dug Phasma out of the trash just to toss her in a fire pit so I don't see why the knights of ren would be any different

I'm not certain what people wanted or expected out of Phasma but she was clearly never intended to be anything more than an ancillary supporting character in cool armor. (i.e. Boba Fett)
Probably the same people who claim AOTC is better than TLJ.
SW brings out the hottest takes.
I'm still reeling over the notion that Lucas would have made a better ST. Even if you hate TROS, TFA and TLJ are vastly superior to anything Lucas could have ever done with the franchise.
Seeing that Underworld test footage was pretty wild, and makes me appreciate the quality of The Mandalorian much more. People saying the test footage was better than anything we got in the sequel trilogy are either insane, trolling or both.
On an unrelated note, here's some photos of my second trip to Kashyyyk. Entering the Shadowlands and finding Tarfful.

He dug Phasma out of the trash and give her and Finn a one-on-one fight. Which is both relevant to their characters, and also the only character dynamic that scene is about. His point is that using the Knights of Ren in lieu of the Praetorian Guards would mean adding another wrinkle to that scene (because Kylo ostensibly has a connection to the knights that he doesn't have with Snoke's guards) that would've distracted from what was the actual focus of Rey and Kylo teaming up.
Of course then JJ did nothing with the knights and disposed them of in the exact way Rian didn't want to lol. So in hindsight it would've just been cleaner to use the Knights there as Snoke's guard.
I'm guessing Rian didn't have the same plan in mind for the Knights as what happened in TROS, but it still makes more sense the way it happens, rather than using them as Snoke's guards. Fighting the Knights is symbolic of him breaking free of his turn to the dark side since he turned to the knights when he left the Jedi.
JJ, backstage before the show: I don't want to present awards 2 & 3
I will safely set my expectations back to not caring then
It's funny how a Stormtrooper has to remind us it's the Knights of Ren!
Damn. TROS is so shallow that it actually gets worse on rewatches, unlike TFA and TLJ. I haven't thought about SW much since rewatching it in theaters. It really destroyed the interesting bits that EP8 took big risks for.
I'm hoping LF gets their shit together and comes out of the gate with something completely fresh after they take their break.
Bring back Rian Johnson you cowards

Yep, that's what it's translated to in other countries.
Funny enough, some people on Reddit think it's a reference to another Adam Driver movie that came out last year, The Dead Don't Die:
There's a Star Wars reference in that movie where his character has a Star Destroyer key chain:
OP

I thought it sounded like "Goals".
News about new stories from Charles Soule and Claudia Gray is fine by me.
Maybe a remnant from Colin's script where Hux was jealous of the Force users... j/k
There is a video of an interview with someone who played a knight of ren, who is apparently saying that the "rumor" of the alternate ending was that Rey was supposed to stay dead and Ben was going to take up the name Skywalker.
Feel like that would of been a worse ending.

Pretty weird how he says he saw it a week before it came out and it "wasn't the same" but it "wasn't longer or shorter", when the movie was finished on November 24 and there was a cast screening on December 3, which I'm not sure he would have even been invited to.
I don't believe that Rey staying dead and Ben surviving was in the cards, and it certainly wasn't changed in reshoots.
I hope this is more interesting than I fear it is. The last few books have been very mediocre, with Alphabet being the exception.
Didn't the leaks suggest kinda the opposite? And that when Palpatine Force lightnings Ben into the pit, that was the end of him.
edit: This was it, pre-reshoots:

Damn, this is what I feared. I love how TLJ got better on rewatches for me as well. Man, if I rewatch TROS(which I will)then oh boy...
Also, LF definitely needs to do that.
TROS was bad and Resistance really has been terrible. Thankfully Mando was glorious and Clone Wars comes out next month to bring my spirits back up.
Here's a list of some of the things that JediPaxis, the main TROS leaker, believed were reshot, from a summary he posted in October. Take it with some salt of course because there's the possibility some of these scenes were just things he didn't know about. These changes do make a lot of sense to me though.
If the spirits of the past Jedi aspect was added in reshoots, then the "I am all the Sith" and "I am the Jedi" part definitely was too. I'm not one to say the movie was generally trying to copy Endgame, but that moment definitely was.
- Rey's opening scene focused on communicating with the Jedi through the Force - pretty sure people noticed her hairstyle is different here
- A greater sense of anger in Rey's training with a tree falling on BB-8. Apparently she tried communicated with Luke, wonder if this was cut.
- Old version of Kylo meeting the Emperor on Exogol: Kylo can't believe he's alive, Palpatine refutes the idea of being a clone. He tells him about the Force Dyad and he wants Kylo and Rey to rule together.
- Apparently in the reshoot Palpatine mocked Kylo's "let the past die" mindset and said the past is key to the future.
- Poe and Rey fighting over lights-speed skipping/BB-8 being damaged.
- The "Somehow Palpatine returned" scene.
- The First Order conference room scene.
- Leia giving Rey Luke's lightsaber back.
- Luke's appearance to Leia (just a voiceover?) during her death scene was cut out.
- Luke's scene with Rey was completely reshot, with the overall tone and message remaining the same. This was confirmed by the TROS editor. It was added that Luke and Leia both knew Rey's heritage.
- It's possible that the Emperor wanting Rey to strike him down was tweaked with reshoots, but Paxis also believed that the dyad concept had been cut entirely.
- Paxis believed that Ben originally dispatched of the Knights using only the Force, not Anakin's lightsaber.
- He also believed that Luke and Leia as ghosts helped Rey defeat Palpatine, rather than the spirits of all the Jedi. If this really was a reshoot it would also make sense that Rey reaching out to the Jedi spirits in the beginning was a reshoot.
- He was originally told that there would be more of the main characters on Tatooine with Finn and Rey holding hands.
If the spirits of the past Jedi aspect was added in reshoots, then the "I am all the Sith" and "I am the Jedi" part definitely was too. I'm not one to say the movie was generally trying to copy Endgame, but that moment definitely was.

Looks like FO has sold over 8 million copies, exceeding EA's expectations! Glad to see it's been so well received, hopefully more single player titles will be coming now.

I can't wait to see where the sequel goes and to meet up with my boy Ezra.
Yeah was just about to post that.
Either that guy used a different name on that podcast or they didn't check anything.
