ST Episode 7 Plot Detail(?) from BadAss Digest: UPDATED - "the lightsaber". Talk to the hand, hand!

perhaps Jar Jar comes back as darth jar jar...

 

Not only that, it would make the whole saga we know now wet paper. It would mean Anakin couln´t do it, his sacrife meant nothing in the end, same for Luke.

Honestly, every new rumor makes this movie look worse and worse. I hope this is not true.

 

@nalkwan
would he be the lead Inquistor?
he did help the Emperor in Episode II, so it makes sense that he would help him again.

 

lol it's all coming together... Jar Jar was his secret Inquisitor the entire time!

if these rumors are true, i may have my very one star wars trilogy to bash... i missed out
on bashing the other two

   @devincf @badassdigest you knew palpatine was in but sat on it till Latino Review revealed...why?
2. Devin Faraci ‏@devincf 26m
   @brewerfan_mke @badassdigest because I think it's a spoiler.
3. brewer_fan ‏@brewerfan_mke 10m
   @devincf @badassdigest you dont post your own spoilers? not bustin balls, just curious on the E VII reporting.

   @brewerfan_mke there's a lot of stuff I know that I won't post because it's too spoilery. I don't want to ruin the movie.

 

I think we need a new rumour thread for people that are happy to speculate about rumours safe in the knowledge that they may turn out to be complete BS.

This "FAKE! You're all gullible idiots!" Is getting very tiresome. We know they are not all true. No one needs to save us from the horror of possible BS.

If you don't ever believe in rumours at all what's the point of even looking in this thread?

I have zero interest in Domnhall Gleeson (no offence DG) but I don't sit in the DG thread telling everyone they're morons for speculating about who he might play.

 

If lightsabers are in VII, it means they were unable to create a greater weapon and had to resurrect lightsabers.

 

Something stopping you from creating a new thread? Or you know, allow people to talk about what they want to talk about, and ignore what you don't find interesting...

 

Please, do I really have to point out the difference? We saw Palpatine fall, the Death Star was destroyed, and he was meant to die in order to make Anakin´s profecy true.

Resurrecting a villain to open a story that was perfectly closed is cheap storytelling.

 

You're borderline trolling a/ the rumour thread (though you don't believe in rumours) with your rudeness. I'm bored of it.

 

Play nice everyone.

If people want to say they don't believe a rumor, that's fine. If people want to believe it, that's fine. If you want to be somewhere in between, that's fine. No matter how you feel about the rumor, you are allowed to discuss it, so let's not tell people what they can and can't discuss.

 

I get the making the point once. I don't get making the point over and over again when you don't believe in rumours full stop.

 

You don't need to make the opposite point over and over either in that case. People are free to believe or not believe what they want, you are free to try and refute their opinions, or just to ignore them if it bothers you. Continually telling people that don't believe a rumor(s) to stop or that they are annoying is off topic for the thread, which is not allowed. If you have any more questions/thoughts on this topic feel free to PM me.

Let's get back on the topic of these rumors.

 

If palpatine is back, let's hope it does not involve time travel and alternate universes
honestly i can see them bringing Palps back, and on it's own i wouldn't have tossed this rumor out
i even think it can be done interestingly - however lumped in with all the other rumors i don't even know what to think anymore

 

I've done it twice. DMd.

 

First God invented light (or something). Then She invented the ignore button.

After that, there was no need to create anything else. The forum was perfect.

Healthy skepticism is when people are open minded about ideas, willing to test them out and speculate until proven false. Unhealthy skepticism is when one simply says No to every possibility.

As for Palpatine's return, if they made him really monstrous looking that might be amazing. Super tall and thin and creepy and maybe more evil than before? Could work, IMO.

 

*shrugs* well again....it's all about execution.
Though TBH....I would kind of have a weird respect for Lucasfilm if they do something crazy like have Palpatine's soul possesses a Skywalker kid (I'm just gunna say either Driver or Domnhall) and in the end either Luke (or that possesed kid's sibling) is forced to kill him because there is no other way to permanently kill Palpy. None of this "Oh if we just exorcise you, then you'll return completely back to normal. No side effects at all" bs

 

Agreed about execution. Whether it is Palps or someone totally new (like Driver), whatever path they go down, the execution needs to be great.

 

Having him return would give a good tie in to the rest of the saga, I never had a problem with him
Returning... If executed right. Could've went in another direction
But it gives the fans something to latch on to as big true baddie of the entire saga

But how they'd handle his ultimate demise ... That I think could be problematic with him returning - suppose that could be left to ep 8 or 9 threads tho

 

Maybe Palpatine finally is able to turn Luke to the Dark Side after many years in captivity.

 

No problems with Palpatine returning. The Core saga has always been Jedi/Sith. As for the Prophecy, they can just reinterpret it. Even Yoda says it could have been misread.

 

I'm starting to believe whatever they come up with they're going to nail it. I've been very impressed in what I've seen thus far and some of the things I've heard (who knows what's real) I absolutely love. I honestly cannot think of a single rumor that has been out there that would be a deal breaker. I don't know if Disney decided to buy off Faraci, but judging from his past pessimism and his current optimism, I think we'll see a great story. Even if Palpatine is back (although I love Ian McD). Hopefully the execution will be flawless.

 

Making a villain that is better than Palpatine is a tough order to do. Even the old EU wasn't able to do it and they could come up with all sorts of crazy stuff. In the end, he was such a good villain that the heroes wouldn't have come close to killing him if he hadn't used himself as bait on the Death Star.

However, I don't think we need a villain greater than Palpatine. Well at least not a singular villain that surpasses him. We just need a scenario that puts our heroes in peril to a greater degree than in ROTJ.

Ultimately, I think the antagonists or the problem to overcome must be different. Not vastly different, but just enough so it doesn't seem like the same car with a different paint job.

 

They don't need to necessarily create a villain better than Palpatine. They need to create a villain who's tough enough that the ST is exciting and suspenseful, with the end goal being whatever they need to accomplish at the end of it. In essence, the villain is just someone that various forces can rally against and become united at the end.

I stand by my conviction that the main purpose of the ST is to create a New Republic and Jedi Order/Council.
