If I ever got to write the script for a sequel to a popular open-world video game I would go out of my way to establish that the canon outcome of the previous game was something no normal player would ever think to do. Not anything impossible within the established framework of play, not a too-clever "all outcomes are true at once" sleight of hand – merely a very unlikely sequence of events. Like, you know the people who speedrun Disco Elysium with the explicit goal of simultaneously maxing out their political alignment in both Communism and Hypercapitalism in the same playthrough? The canon player character is That Guy.

hux was perfectly positioned to be THE villain of the story and to show how an ordinary man can be much scarier than a force wielder but NO

#every now and then i remember how much potential characters had in the sequels and then the filmmakers went absolutely nowhere with it #star wars #sw #sequels #general hux #m says

*Implying that the total number of works will only ever be two.

#ao3 #ao3 series #sequels #writing #fanfiction #idk why it but it bothers me to make a whole series just to hold two works #so i use the link method in the summary or notes #i think that series are better suited for 4+ works #after a trilogy it becomes a series. that's my view anyway #i wonder if ao3 would ever make a sequel option. might be too redundant

"Rian Johnson was mocking Star Wars fans for expecting Star Wars tropes in TLJ!"

No. Star Wars fans just happened to have the exact same flaw that the character, Rey, had: too much focus on her parents. That made her easy to relate to. But the whole point, down to the first movie she was introduced in (which WASN'T written by Rian Johnson) was that her parents were never important.

Star Wars fans should've expected that reveal. It was already set up. Maz literally tells Rey in the first movie to quit focusing so much on her parents. The filmmakers literally told you "she's wrong to put so much stock in who her parents are" in The Force Awakens. He just carried that theme on and y'all weren't ready for it because you never wanted to accept it in the first place.

Same thing with Snoke. Kylo Ren was introduced as a character who only wants one thing: strength. He thinks that strength will solve his emotional frailty. He's insecure. (Because reasons, to do with his family and their lack of faith in him.) Rey straight-up discovers that his biggest fear is "never being as strong as Darth Vader" and says it out loud so that the audience will get it.

You really think, when he was introduced as a character who believes killing mentor-father-figures will make him feel stronger and therefore more secure, that Snoke ever had a chance of getting past the second movie alive?

=

They straight-up introduced these characters with certain flaws, which lead to certain motives, which so happen to lead to different conclusions than common Star Wars fan theories.

Because that's the beauty of the Sequels. They acknowledge the legendary status of the Original Trilogy Tropes, then grow beyond those tropes.

Or at least. They were starting to. Until Star Wars fans threw continued hissy fits because they didn't want a story, they wanted a 💫 Star Wars Checklist Cleverly Disguised as a Story.💫

Then the powers-that-be were like "okay they're really not looking for a good story, just give 'em the checklist they were looking for." And you got exactly that in The Rise of Skywalker.

But Rian Johnson wasn't mocking you. He was just taking the next logical, compelling step in the previously-established arcs of well-written characters. And carrying on the Sequel's initial trademark of "appreciate the past by growing beyond it." Y'know. Like a good writer.

It's so funny to me that Disney even managed to disappoint EVERYONE with the rise of Skywalker. Usually, displeasing a part of a fandom at least means another part is getting catered to. But the rise of Skywalker? Pissed off EVERYONE.

The bigoted fans were mad at the 2 second gay kiss and 2 black characters existing, the anti-racist fans were mad finn's sidelining was continued and rose barely on screen, the gay fans were mad at disney using the gay kiss for marketing while removing it in homophobic countries, and no finnpoe despite both actors and directors agreeing with the fandom that it made sense. The people who hated reylo were mad they kissed, the reylos were mad kylo died. The people who like good villains got palpatine AGAIN. The people who like cohesive stories got a mess of storylines barely holding together full of plot holes (remember that sith dagger in the shape of the death star wreckage?). Aside from lando and wedge, not even that many good cameos. The stakes felt meaningless, a whole planet blew up and nobody gave a fuck because.... it was riddled with criminals? I guess?? The people here just for action scenes didn't get anything extraordinary.

Astonishing how well it frustrated every fucking body no matter what you're watching star wars for

Your son is gone. He was weak and foolish like his father, so I destroyed him.

Boring: Video game sequel establishes that the secret "true ending" with lots of fiddly unlocking criteria is what canonically happened.

Also boring: Video game sequel establishes that the unlockable secret ending is a counterfactual "what if" scenario and the standard ending is what canonically happened.

Not boring: Video game sequel establishes that the non-standard game over you receive if you somehow manage to die during the tutorial is what canonically happened.

I really wish they’d make a sequel series or even a movie for Wolfblood about Maddy and Rhydian after they reunited because I miss them and would love to see them again.

#wolfblood was my favourite show as a kid #it started my love of stories with werewolves and other supernatural creatures in them #I loved rhydian #imagine their sequel series being about the next generation and they have a kid it would be so cute #I haven’t watched the later series in ages tbh whenever I rewatch I mostly just watch the first 2 seasons for maddian #wolfblood #reboots #sequels #rhydian morris #maddy smith #maddian #rhydian x maddy #maddy x rhydian
