>Ryan Gosling plays “Damon”, a renowned pilot, war hero and former member of the Resistance whose exploits have made him famous, though he wishes he could escape the spotlight and live anonymously. His estranged sister, played by Amy Adams, is Force-sensitive former student of Luke Skywalker, and so is her son, played by Flynn Gray.>At the beginning of the film, she is killed, but in her dying moments, gives her son her lightsaber and tells him to go find his uncle, who he's never met. The kid's pretty smart, and manages to get off-world, finding his uncle in a cantina, now a washed-up scoundrel haunted by ghosts of his past. The two don't exactly get along at first, but in classic Star Wars fashion, you can imagine how it's going to go.>Mia Goth plays “Kira”, a Force-sensitive, lightsaber-wielding mercenary who kills Adams’s character, while Matt Smith is “Gerald”, a warlord arms dealer infamous across the galaxy. They are on the hunt for Gosling’s nephew, and though Kira ostensibly works for Gerald, she has her own agenda and plans. Plans that involve training a certain someone in the ways of the Sith. To protect his nephew, Damon must travel across the galaxy to deliver him to someone who can train him as a Jedi: Rey Skywalker (Daisy Ridley).>Director Shawn Levy originally had someone in his 30s in mind for Damon, but that changed when Gosling was cast. Gerald was also written for someone much older, likely in their 50s or 60s, and two separate offers went out to established, big-name, Oscar-winning actors, who both turned it down before Smith signed on. Mikey Madison was indeed eyed for Kira, and several unknowns were considered before Goth landed the part.https://comicbookmovie.com/sci_fi/star-wars/star-wars-starfighter-character-code-names-revealed-including-ryan-goslings-renowned-pilot-and-war-hero-a228178
>>221011831If they wanted this to be successful, they should have made the kid a teen girl and given Goose a will-they won't-they romantic tension.
>>221011831>two separate offers went out to established, big-name, Oscar-winning actors, who both turned it down beforelmao. imagine not wanting to be in star wars. bravo disney
Sounds better than anything they've done in the last 15 years at least.
It's about family
>>221011831Star Wars is saved bros like for real this time. 2 billion at the box office easily just like the Force Awakens
This will bomb just like Mando. They're obviously trying to set up another trilogy and rebrand Star Wars to be slightly less feminine. Old fans like me are just going to be reminded of how badly Disney fucked over Luke and there no new fans.
They are clearly trying to pivot back to boys to see the movie.It's too late. Gen Z doesn't care for Star WArs.
>>221011831>matt smithbox office bomb confirmed
>>221011831>Disney Star Wars
>>221012146>They're obviously trying to set up another trilogy and rebrand Star Wars to be slightly less feminine.Even on the minuscule chance this thing is a success you know they'd immediately hit the pedal to the floor and cram as much female characters and faggotry into it the next iteration. Considering Mandalorian will struggle to make $300 million I don't think there's any chance of that happening though. Star Wars is legit dead.
>>221011831PassJust the same Disney swill
>>221011831more plastic for the landfill, more slop for bellies already full.
I will give Star Wars 1 more chance.
>>221011831>Rey SkywalkerNot watching
Damon? Gerald? That's the name they went with? Gerald?Do these people simply not get Star Wars at all?The point is to make COOL villains. Who the fuck thinks GERALD is a cool name. Yeah bro can't wait to get some Damon and Gerald merch.
>Mia Goth plays “Kira”Wasn't that the name of the love interest in the Han Solo solo movie? Star Wars is so lame. Just give it a rest.
>>221012978Small studio, please understand.
>>221011831It's basically a rehash of what we've seen already
>>221011831finally I get to be in a Star Wars kino
>what if we have a cool guy take care of a jedi baby
>>221012882>>221012978Most likely cover names, though Damon is a pretty "Star Wars lead hero" name. Luke, Han, Ben, Finn, Poe, etc. They're all usually short and normal-sounding.
>set during the sequel eraInstant pass
>>221011831dont care
>>221013072Well of course. The brand is effectively depleted.No serious leadership talent or showrunner is going to waste time with it now. All there is left is to just reheat leftovers, which is why they gave Filoni the reigns. His entire shtick is just to juggle "remember this character" characters along with his lame OCs for diminishing returns.There are no new ideas and noone to implement them or propose them either.Just imagine being, for instance, a talented person and a superfan. Proven in your field already so you know what to do to revive the brand. You actually want to work there and salvage it. Well you'd likely run into two hundred of Kennedy's yesmen and yesmaam goons that she installed that will sabotage and stonewall you at every turn until you just sign off on a soullesss corposlop committee-approved product that ticks off all their guideline boxes for inclusion.That's why you see these halfassed projects. Nobody normal wants to bother with it anymore.
I don't really care about dadslop
Sounds like another movie that should have been a Disney+ show
>>221011831The brand is too damaged for this to ever be a success. Star Wars has no appeal for kids today
>>221011831>What if a dude had to take of a force sensitive baby>Oh also the vilain is some kind of force user but le badYeah it's just mandalorian or obiwan
>>221011831>is Force-sensitive former student of Lu-DROPPED
So they're going to reveal the kid is Luke's son?
>>221012978Kira was also Rey's name in the original episode 7 treatment
>>221013150I don't know dude. Damon just sounds a bit too different and too mundane, but in the wrong way.Luke, Han, Ben, Poe, Finn, Rey sound somehow on brand. Damon, Arthur, Chester, Gerald, Hamish, Christopher, Franklin, Horace, etc.. don't.I don't know why but it is what it is.
>>221012978Emilia Clarke was >Qi'ra Though it was just pronounced like "Kira"Nobody remembers that movie anyway
>>221013311Rey, please sit down on a chair. did I tell you about the time I was having sexual intercourse with my student Amya Dams during the time I was also the headmaster of the Jedi Academy. I managed to get her pregnant, but after deciding to kill my nephew because I had a bad dream about him the Jedi Academy was destroyed and we all had to flee. Turns out my dream was right! Anyway, she ended up having my son Flyn Ngray before being assassinated by Bigger Kira. Luckily Flyn made his way to a renowned pilot Damon Al Barn and together they escaped Bigger Kira and Gerald. I was, of course, completely out of the loop there because I was otherwise occupied with teaching Grogu for two (2) days, but they were all good friends. Care for some thala-siren milk, it clears the sinuses.
>>221012978Kira was George's protagonist in his ST scripts but they changed it to Rey
>>221013449personally I would prefer if Bigger Kira ends up taking custody of the boy to with as she pleases
>>221011831>my sister's sonOh god.>>Mia Goth plays “Kira”, a Force-sensitive, lightsaber-wielding mercenary It's not Kreia, it's a totally original character called.. uh.. Kira.
>>221013072Mando & Grogu + Luke's jedi school from the EU.
>>221012162Only the bare minimum required so they can continue on with Rey. It's a textbook bait and switch
>>221011831Wait I thought this was going to be a show, not a movie. They're seriously trying another movie with some stock side-plot that nobody even gives a shit about?The entire movie hinges on whether Gosling has enough pull to get people to buy tickets.
Gosling is Damon Jade, brother of Amy Adams Mara Jade, wife of Sebastian Stan Luke Skywalker. They are trying to 'fix' Rey Skywalker from the end of of TROS the same way they fucked up TROS to begin with, by overcorrecting. This turns Luke into a deadbeat absent father in addition to everything else TLJ ruined about the character.
>>221013311Guaranteed. They've been foreshadowing Mara Jade's existence in Galaxy's edge for years. Think, what would be the most Sequel-brained way to add Mara Jade? I would imagine it would involve:A. Quickly tossing her in as a glub shitto without actually making her a character or doing anything with the conceptB. Overcorrect and 'fix' something the last movie fucked up by breaking 16 more things in the processThe sequels do that constantly, so if they were going to put Mara through that, the way to do it is for her to already be dead and seen only in flashback. This ensures there is nothing to do with the character and her cameo is lazy and worthless, which fulfills A. It also 'fixes' Rey Skywalker by having there actually still be a Skywalker alive after all. Nevermind it also buries Like's character somehow even deeper than TLJ already did by making him a shitty absent father in addition to everything else, which is perfectly in line with how each Sequel film 'fixes' plot points from the previous movie.
>>221013782Even with the Mara Jade thing the only people left that care about this are too few to matter.The main mistake was not capturing the zoomer audience and falling for "subverting" that they perceived the millennials were clamoring for. It destroyed the entire franchise.Lucas was autistically sincere in his stories. They were like fables and characters were straightforward.When ownership of the franchise changed hands EVERY character, plot development, detail, etc.. had to be some "gotcha" subversion moment or an epic twist or a bait and switch. This patina of postirony fucked up the entire tone. Now nobody can earnestly "get into it" since why would they? It's all arbitrary switcheroo gotcha quippy garbage. Zero stakes, zero reason to care.
>>221013963no one was clamouring for the "subverting" that Rian did.the older audience probably wanted a slightly edgier version like Andor did, but with the same fast pacing and fun action.
>>221013915They're doing it to wipe the slate clean for a post-ST continuity.The ST era is already beyond salvaging.
>>221012162>They are clearly trying to pivot back to boys to see the movie.It's actually really sad how desperate they're pandering, now.>H-Hey, little boy. Come here! Don't you want to see R-R-Ryan Gosling do cool space stuff?>And look, look! There's a cute blonde boy that'll be trained to become a Jedi. Awesome Jedi!
>>221013963>people left that care about this are too few to matterAso long as even 1 person cares about a character, Disney is committed to raping them.
I will torrent for she
>>221014180Is she downs?
>>221011831They offered Smith a 3 picture deal and wanted to make him the prominent villain but he wanted to be in and out in one picture.
>>221014211she's down for a lot of things
>>221013992Absolutely untrue.Everyone was savaging Lucas daily online and bitching about how PT were infantile and amateurish. They legitimately wanted a "serious" take and "contemporary" humor and sensibilities which were at the time Whedonesque quipfests and "deconstructions".That's why literally the FIRST shot we saw in the TFA trailer was a black stormtrooper straight out of Spaceballs.
>>221011831Generic trash. Trying to bait people into coming back, but will still do all the same retarded shit
>>221011831>The kid's pretty smartMary Sue alert
> Plans that involve training a certain someone in the ways of the Sith. Didn't the Sith die at the very end of the sequel trilogy? How do they keep coming back. Even Goose can't save the franchise. Just let it die already and sell it to like Paramount and Warner bros for like a billion and move on.
>>221014536>How do they keep coming back.Disney is doing that thing shitty writers do where they meekly try and "soft retcon" their previous works because they wrote themselves into a corner.
>>221012217>Even on the minuscule chance this thing is a success you know they'd immediately hit the pedal to the floor and cram as much female characters and faggotry into it the next iteration.Exactly. Even when they peel back to "fix" things the instant they recoup a bit of success, they try and experiment with pushing everyone's limit again to see what they can get away with.
>>221014536Because the dark side of the force is the sith way, because sith didn't mean anything other than "opposite of a jedi" in the moviesand frankly it should be very easy for a grown woman to make a 12 year old boy do whatever she wants
>>221014561>Disney is doing that thing shitty writers do where they meekly try and "soft retcon" their previous works because they wrote themselves into a corner.The most egregious example I've seen recently was Mortal Kombat II with killing off that Cole Young character after an entire movie of building up that he's the hero, but retards just praised it for the clumsy fanservice and TAKE THAT attitude with zero self-awareness that the same writers made that fucked up scenario in the first place. It's not just the writers that are stupid, it's the fans enabling them. Praising them for fixing problems they created in the first place. Pharmaceutical company tier.
>>221011865only good post and idea in this thread
Shawn Levy is boring as a director.
>>221011831>The two don't exactly get along at first, but in classic Star Wars fashion, you can imagine how it's going to go.This is not classic star wars, this is filoni wars. This is shit.
>have Amy Adams>kill her right awaydoubt
I shan’t be watching
>>221011831i'm watching it just because it has ryan gosling in it, i have never watched a single star wars movie in my entire life. it is a dogshit series but i do like to see how the editors make me look in the movie im in
>>221014211If she downs...
>Former memeber of the resistance >Rey Skywalker Dead on arrival
>>221011831>even MORE female Jedi>Rey training the new female Jedi order>anons still claim Star Wars isn’t feminist propaganda
>>221011831>sith mia goth hunting /ss/ to take him as an apprentice and semen production Bros this might just save star wars.
>>221011831>mfw the thumbnail made me think this was a pixar-like 3D animated movie
>>221011831>is Force-sensitive former student of Luke SkywalkerHERE SHALL I LIST ALL THE RETCONS of what happened to Luke's students:>Version #1 - They've defected with Kylo Ren towards the Dark Side and became the Knights of Ren. - The Force Awakens>Version #2 - They were murdered during the destruction of Luke's temple BY the Knights of Ren. - The Last Jedi>Version #3 - Several survived the destruction of the temple and gave chase after Kylo Ren (who was NOT a member of the Knights of Ren at that point) and died either at the hands of said Knights or Kylo. - The Kylo Ren comics>Version #4 - Apparently some survived after all. - Star Wars: Starfighter + The Mandalorian TV Series
>>221015704HERE I SHALL LIST ALL WHO CARE ABOUT THIS:>
>>221015704I cared about this cause I hate Disney.
>>221011831Imagine a galaxy finally rid of Jedi cultists, only everyone suddenly wants to be one again. Why is Rey a household name if she fucked off to Tatooine to be a recluse?
you're telling me we could've had Sith cultist Mikey Madison
>>221015546Meanwhile the "hero" they're pretending to push played by Gosling isn't a force sensitivie, so he'll end up accomplishing jack shit while being a useless cheerleader for Rey.
>>221015704it's usually quite interesting to have it simply laid out how incoherent this stuff is.
