Yeah, going in, I was hoping for actual force ghosts there. Would have been a really cool addition, especially with Kanan and Ahsoka in live action.

Thought y'all might find this interesting: https://www.reddit.com/r/saltierthancrait/comments/eisnd8/heres_what_ive_been_told_from_a_source_that/
Post on one of the Star Wars subs that supposedly comes from an inside source. Take it with a grain of salt (no pun intended) as you would with any inside source, but speaks a lot to corporate meddling and a JJ cut that may exist somewhere.
PLEASE don't believe this sh*t. There's not an ounce of truth to it. I was not a fan of TROS, but will defend the hell out of it from disinformation like this. The reddit post itself is being ridiculed on Twitter by those in-the-know and anyone with an ounce of sense. It's utter trash and doesn't even make sense.
God, fandom has become so toxic and so ****ed. We're going to have to hear about "The JJ Cut" for years now, aren't we? Crap like this has become insufferable.
I think it's just wording. Re-reading it, sounds like that was just fitting within the style guide of what a force ghost would look like, like they were preparing for it.SoulSlaveAG2005 said:
Why the heck does it matter to China what shade of blue is used?
Could be wrong, though, in which case it definitely would be a strange thing for China to care about.
Oh and **** China.
I mean it could very well be bull****, but you sound pretty sure. What makes you so sure?
Like I said, people in-the-know on Twitter, who I trust, say it's bullsh*t. But even outside of that, it just doesn't make sense in any way. That's not how things work. Like, at all. That's not how someone of Abrams' stature would be treated or dealt with. And the reporting itself is sh*t and shady and reads exactly like a fanboy's understanding of Hollywood and how a fanboy thinks studios think. It all might as well be incoherent gibberish.
Though, the force ghost thing does sound like bull**** considering the fact that force ghosts were already prevalent in TLJ and even ROS.
I agree that it does sound fanboy-ish, but that in and of itself is not enough to dismiss the whole thing, imo.
Re: the Reylo thing
You don't have to read between the lines much to see that they were all pretty much against it. So it could well have come from up top and not JJ.

Eh, I still don't think Disney forced JJ to do anything like that, or forced him to do anything at all, really. He made a TON of bad/dumb calls in the making of this movie. It's not a stretch in any way to believe this was one of them.

One of my great aunts shot her husband six times for cheating on him. They stayed together and she was never prosecuted.
Deep South baby.
So, Reylo could be a thing. People stay together through all kinds of dysfunctional crap.

This is the dumbest point on the reddit post by far. Again, this is exactly how a fanboy thinks Hollywood thinks...
What's dumb about this theory is that making money on these movies is somehow a zero sum game. If DC gets their sh^t together, that in no way means MCU is now going to suck and not make money.
Bingo.
As much as I wanted to see some of that cool stuff from the reddit post that is likely BS, I can forego it all to not have to deal with a stupid Finn/Poe homosexual relationship.
I heard that Tom and Shiv from Succession were going to be characters and have some erotic Shiv-Poe-Finn 3-way scene with Tom watching. But then it kind of fizzled because Tom wasn't into it, and we got two roots making out instead.
That reddit post lines up perfectly with the conspiracy theories about all of the rewrites by execs. Not shocked to see it getting peddled right now.

PSST....You guys want to go see JJ's cut of TROS? I'll let you in on a little secret. It's out there if you know where to look.
Buy a ticket. It's showing right now in theaters.

I'd be interested to see if they filmed any story arcs that made sense, but had to be cut for time. But thats just to see more Star Wars more than anything.
To combine the reddit conspiracy theory and Reylo, I think there was some poor editing around the Ben Solo arc. TROS tried to make Ben Solo and Kylo Ren two different people, but it was very muddled. There isn't really a Reylo because she didn't kiss Kylo Ren, she kissed Ben Solo. She didn't stab Ben Solo, she stabbed Kylo Ren. So it is ReyBen.
I hate the faction of DC fans that worship Snyder and think there was a major conspiracy involved to sink him and DC together.
Snyder sunk DC himself. The movies post-Snyder and Justice League have been decent (Aquaman) to good (Shazam) to great (Joker) all because they were made by competent filmmakers who aren't complete hacks enslaved to sepia lenses and faux-intellectual grimdark tone.
This JJ Cut bull**** seems like the twisted fanfiction of those poor souls who keep begging for a Snyder Cut of Justice League, as if a Snyder version would have been any better than the Whedon Frankenstein movie we got.

The best DCEU movie (MoS) was made by Snyder. I reject your hypothesis.
Just got out of my 2nd viewing. For all its flaws, and there are many, I think I liked it better the 2nd go round. Maybe because the info overload of the first act is easier to get through?
Stuff I liked:
- A Y-Wing finally getting their dang props and blowing the crap out of a Star Destroyer(did they ever get to do anything cool ever? Is my memory crap?)
- I think the prequels and sequels made me sick of C3PO and while they dang near overdid it with him, he was a great comic relief and I fell in love with that character again.
- I didn't notice the first go round that when Rey healed Ben his scar went away too. That was neat and a great way to herald his transformation.

MoS will never make up for how badly he screwed up BvS, so there's that.
ReyBen? Shouldn't it be Bey?Dekker_Lentz said:

Man of Steel and Wonder Woman are 1-2. I haven't seen Joker and don't plan to. From there it's just a big ball of trash perfect for Saturday evenings on TNT/TBS.

Y'all have probably heard this but a co-worker told me today that Adam Driver looks like someone tried to draw Keanu Reeves from memory. Mean, but funny.

I think in RO a squadron of them took down a destroyer, also.
Saw it last night, thought it was pretty good. The best of the new trilogy IMO. Didn't care that some of it was Harry Potter in space, but overall enjoyed it.
Curious about the legs this thing has, went to the 7PM IMAX show at the Marqee in Houston and there were maybe 20-30 people in there.

The showing I went to yesterday mid-day had about that many people in it as well. Non-IMAX.Cstrickland05 said:
