Conceptual drawings (I guess?) of a scene where Leia opens up and tells Rey about what broke their little family apart and why.

My Roman Empire is to imagine that Kylo and Rey met secretly between TLJ and TROS.

“I think Kylo’s overall character graph is interesting because it’s completely opposite to what the audience sees and expects from a character on the Dark Side. It really opened my imagination as an actor. J.J. Abrams told me when I met him for the first time that I should imagine a journey of a character completely opposite to Darth Vader. I liked that idea, and the character has evolved that way. The way J.J. explained it, I really liked playing someone who starts as a child and becomes a man over the course of three movies. He becomes closer to his convictions, becomes more assured about his choices, but has metaphorically and physically killed his father to become his own person.”

#uh huh #found the quote #had to go back to the “im so excited for TRoS” part of my blog #ick #this was definitely a big red flag #but I absolutely could not mentally or emotionally accept it was gonna go so wrong at the time #ugh

I remember Adam starting to say this around TRoS's release, but I also remember TFA interviews where he talked about how hesitant he was to take the role until JJ gave him an overview of Kylo's arc and he decided it was "a story worth telling".

The idea that "petty evil guy becomes really evil guy, dies", is the pitch that swayed him is tough to swallow...

Have you seen the recent Adam driver interview re: redeemed Ben solo never being part of the original plans? Apparently JJs idea as pitched to Adam was 'reverse Vader' who begins the trilogy all uncertain and vulnerable and becomes super evil by the third film 😂 considering the mess that was duel of the fates, I'm not surprised. Adam said he was still 'focused' on JJs original arc even though it changed over shooting. Which is baffling to me, because even in TFA you can't seriously believe this character could go stone cold uber sinister. It's terrible how so many good things in the sequel trilogy are there in spite of tptb, not because of them!

I haven't and honestly at this point I don't even want to hear anything else about what a complete fucking shitshow of stupidity and sociopathy this whole production was.

The idea that TFA isn't setting up a redemption is so absurd to me that I'm not even going to entertain it. I don't believe that even JJ is that incompetent, and his commentary plus TROS indicates that he did absolutely understand that Ben must be reclaimed despite his total disregard for the themes and message of SW. So whatever Adam was talking about, I don't know, and I'm not going to listen to this interview to try to figure it out because I'm tired. Maybe he's referring to the earliest ideas where Kylo Ren wasn't the same person as Han and Leia's child?

But in that case I just cannot imagine why they wanted to cast him in that role.

Leaving aside that the entire concept of a 'reverse Vader' is the stupidest shit I've ever heard, because that was a) literally the prequel trilogy, b) antithetical to SW as anything other than a prelude to a subsequent redemption, and c) SO FUCKING BORING. I know this isn't the first time Adam has mentioned this, but it only sounds more stupid the more clear he makes it that they mean 'the opposite of the ending of RotJ'. Which is just 'the ending of every fucking American action movie fucking ever'. Like putting a 'spin' on Vader by having him NOT REDEEM HIMSELF is just called 'being like everyone else' and 'taking away literally the most compelling thing about Vader'.

I need these boring, unimaginative HACKS to fuck off. Like, the idea that JJ's pitch for TFA was 'worse, more boring, less visually creative, less meaingful, more shallow remake of ANH but also we will ruin the heart and soul of the story and make it like all the libertarian slop it literally existed in order to stand against'.

LIKE JAIL FOR THIS MAN. JAIL!

I saw someone say that it's also come out that the reylo connection was Kasdan's idea, which I feel vindicated by bc I've been saying I bet it was forever. But again, JJ was on board for it and knew what he was doing with the imagery in TFA. He is not so incompetent that he didn't understand he was creating romantic subtext. And text.

But like, I'm just so done with these fucking people. That ANYONE at that company much less apparently EVERYONE?? thought it was remotely acceptable to use SW to tell the story of any character whatsoever who was humanised and sympathetic and relatable to children falling into darkness and becoming ''''''irredeemable'''''' MUCH LESS the LAST SKYWALKER, the HOPE AND HAPPY ENDING OF ROTJ, HAN AND LEIA'S LOVE, PADMÉ'S LOVE, the atonement and reconciliation of Darth Vader is just FUCKING BANANAPANTS to me.

George Lucas should fight these people in an alley.

#a bit disappointed in him if true tbh #although it is part of his job to talk up the films he's in i guess #he's just good at making it feel so genuine and personal #also this really drives home why TRoS Reylo is so empty #and devoid of everything that made it compelling #i don't think JJerrio had any idea why it should be happening #it was just part of their frantic rush to make every fan theory correct #after the first full leaks with no Reylo and the pit were released but every corner of the SW fandom still hated it #but don't worry guys the Rey movie is gonna fix everything! #You're all totally influencing them! #DLF totally isn't playing your asses like a fiddle #(again)

There aren’t enough vomit bags in all the world...

What do you think of the news about a Rey movie? I don’t know whether to be excited or not. On one hand, it’ll be nice to see Rey again and I’m genuinely curious how they plan to fix the disaster they left behind with TROS, but on the other hand it’s unlikely Ben will be making an appearance. Adam seems busy with other projects and I can’t see him returning to SW. :( also the 15-year time jump is strange imo

You literally couldn't pay me to watch.

A lot of people seem to think it might not even happen, since they're apparently constantly cancelling things and a lot of films don't get made even when companies have their shit together. That's my best case scenario.

#i will cry from laughing so hard if it does get shelved #i have to laugh at the whole announcement actually #there's something very clarifying about it #Yes. They really truly are... that fucking stupid
