    You know how in adventure video games the side quests are always more interesting and poignant than the main world-ender quest? I think Star Wars is gonna be like that now. Some weird episode in some cartoon series written by some guest scifi writer is gonna contain the best story.

    Title crawl:

    A NEW BEGINNING

    After Palpatine returning, somehow, and being defeated, the NEW NEW REPUBLIC is established. But not much has changed, because not enough time has passed.

    Anyway, REY, along with a redeemed BEN SOLO, have become the sole JEDI MASTERS of the entire galaxy and decided that the time was ripe to begin training a new generation of JEDI

    Among the first pupils, the young TALTAPINE shows great promise, but dark clouds loom over the JEDI once more…

    The Jedi Order has failed twice now. Each time those failures produced a person so powerful that it enslaved the galaxy. Maybe don’t do that again.

      Seriously, maybe start a movement that teaches the Force belongs to all, whether as powerful as a Jedi or as simple and every-day as just using it to grab stuff.

        That was kind of a plot they had used in one of the Jedi Academy games that was effectively the explanation as to why you could use dark side and light side powers. Basically Luke thought that shielding from either side would obviously make the taboo subject way more enticing, so his whole concept was balance in all things, including knowledge of dark and light.

          His one mistake was that he didn’t realize that a weird clone of a guy that died years ago was going to manipulate the son of his sister and best friend into thinking Luke was going to kill him. What a fool!

            In the extended universe, a weird clone of the same guy who died years ago appeared and manipulated Luke into falling for the dark side and being his right hand man for a bit, so really, which is worse?

    I’ll be cautiously optimistic. Daisy Ridley deserves a second shot at Rey and hopefully Disney learned something from their mistakes in episodes 7-9.

      Rumor has it the new movie will feature a large moon-sized planet-destroying space station. There will also be a desert planet with a young naive yet promising force user. Someone will wield a lightsaber with a design we haven’t seen before. Space bombers will have to fly “over” an enemy ship in space in order to “drop” bombs on it. One of the new creatures will have eyes that look like anuses, or a mouth that looks like a pussy. The main antagonist will be annoying and act like a man-child. There will be doubt that someone can “train up” in time to fight a bad guy. Someone will survive the vacuum of space. A new force trick will be shown. Someone’s face will be replaced by AI. A previously unseen type of droid sidekick will be unveiled. A possession belonging to someone from the original trilogy will be mentioned and displayed with reverence. Something that has never needed explaining will be explained. Something that has long needed an explanation will be glossed over in a confusing way. An interesting new character will have nearly all of their scenes cut. The emperor will return.
