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

It's mindblowing to me that you have to explain this to people.
I don't think Rey Palpatine Skywalker is salvageable as an idea.
Another leaked still! Shippers brace yourselves!
He's gonna leave a Skywalker in Rey thereby making it the Rise of Skywalker. The Skywalkers are reborn....in Rey's Womb.
I don't think there's any way to salvage this script that reads like mediocre fanfic.
i just have this feeling that people these days don't have as much good faith in Star Wars as they did with the leak for Avengers and honestly, I cannot see how this movie will fare any differently in the fandom than TLJ did. I think It'll be divisive and honestly I'm just watching it to see Jannah and Finn all the other stuff i've read on Reddit and here blows chunks
I'm not entirely bothered by Kylo being redeemed. If Anakin can still get into Jedi heaven after helping blow up a planet, then what's a couple more? Remember, Star Wars is anime after all.
However, Kylo getting redeemed, powering up Palps, and then getting chucked off a cliff reeks of "Well, we're not sure what we're gonna do with this character yet...so just put him in the freezer for now."
They could change it, I hope they change it.

I couldn't agree more. Rey being a nobody is the best thing they did in TLJ. I really hope most of these leaks are misdirection.
You are claiming a script you never read is unsalvagable based on a vague plot outline with very little detail?
Especialy since they just showed in a comic that Ben has stopped a fall to his impending death using the Force.
I'll just steal someone else's post:
The Adventures of Ben Swolo, coming to Disney+
Summer 2022

Game of Thrones is the flip side to that, it ended up being just as terrible as it sounded.
For myself I never saw Endgame spoilers, I honestly just didn't care that much to bother.
Execution can completely make up for some things like Kylo falling in a pit but now the question is is do I trust JJ? Fuck no. I expect the movie to be flashy, have some fun character interactions, look cool visually, etc. But bringing it all together to tell a compelling story? After TFA? No sir, I wish Rian was back.
That's a megaton of a leaked picture
I want to see Leia's lightsaber
Rey being related to Palpatine really isn't that big of a deal. It could certainly explain her ease of going to the Dark Side in the moment and her proficiency with the force.
Other than that it really doesn't mean anything. Palpatine apparently thinks its something he can exploit using her feelings to lure her in like a Snake before he devours her but that just reinforces that in reality she is nobody. Her own family just wants to kill her so he can be essentially reborn life essence wise. So abandoning any ties to her family and embracing the Skywalker name as her own is fitting.

So what exactly will Kylo's motivation be to suddenly go Bendemption?
Sheev will have to basically betray him in like a handful of dialogue lines? Is Kylo turning against Palpatine to gain power for himself and then in the middle of it he has a change of heart?
Would it not be the biggest honor for him to finally meet the guy who made Vader and planned this whole Empire out from its inception?
Why turn against that guy? "Let the past die?" Real feelings for Rey? A vision of Han and Leia holding out a hand to him? Is the reason for redemption purely going to be him wanting to get closer to his parents?
I feel like this will all have to be VERY wordy as none of it is really set up in the prior films.

I'd be really surprised if the Rey Skywalker line actually lands.
He keeps getting his ass kicked, eventually he's gotta realize this whole villain thing just ain't working out. Also he luvs Rey probably.

Unfortunately I think you're overthinking it. He's going to lose/get a fatal wound/almost die at the Death Star remains (again), Rey is going to save / heal him - but still leave him stranded, then he's going to shed the old persona in some "my old self died and now I'm good, thanks ghost mom".
There is a 5 second flashback of the Emperor standing over Kylo, about to bring his lightsaber down on him. But it's a missunderstanding, the Emperor just wanted to show him his cool lightsaber but Kylo thought he wanted to kill him, so understandably, he turns on him after that!
Right, so he basically finds out Palpy just wants to syphon his and Rey's power to rejuvenate himself (Force Dyad WAT) and Kylo is then getting healed/saved by Rey and then thinks, fuck it, I am so over that bad guy thing after getting a vision of Leia?
"Lemme get my mom's saber and kill that cackling cunt over there?"
The OT had father and son conflict firmly established and it is just so much weaker with Leia and Ben. Gonna be really tricky to pull off.

According to Paxis, Leia's death happens while he fights Rey. They both sense it and are shocked. Rey recovers first and stabs him in the chest then leaves him after she uses her new powers to heal him declaring that she'll never be like him.
He's just lost in the wreckage of the Second Death Star when he experiences a vision of Han that tells him it's never too late to turn back to the light.
It has a profound effect on him and he throws away his lightsaber and Kylo Ren identity.
Ya but these leaks are like a whole movie of issues not just end cap stuff.
Leaks make it appear that it's a long contingency plan he had, the Star Destroyers were stockpiled there during height of the Empire.
People here were having meltdowns over them and claiming they wouldn't see the movie over them. Reddit was having a massive meltdown and people were predicting it would be the first rotten MCU film.
I hope it's all true. I should go find the post from the old place where I told BobbyRoberts and others that JJ sent Kylo down a fucked up version of the Hero's Journey and he would be redeemed by the end.
Actually now I'm remember a few meltdowns about the rat saving ant-man.
I mean, both villains do like to yell about submitting to the darkness. And both of them love to overact.
It tracks.
