![]() And it comes from the bowels of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.Ĭlearly, this is a very different story than Rise of Skywalker. The beacon is "analog," so it's undetectable by the new Empire's advanced fleet. While Rey tracks down Ren–and cuts through the satisfyingly vicious Knights of Ren along the way–Leia and the Resistance concoct a plan to send out a beacon across the galaxy in search for someone, anyone, to come help kill the First Order. Rey goes to stop Ren, who, after being trained by the Sith monster who instructed Emperor Palpatine's master, has finally gone full Sith Lord, with a Darth Vader mask of his own. The two stories converge when Rey discovers Ren's quest for an unbeatable ancient Sith power–which, by the way, he almost fully attains. Soon I will be more powerful than any Jedi. Your Master promised you strength, but you feel hollow. Haunting his nephew like a spirit.Īnd where did your path lead? You’re a ghost. The sequences would have given Mark Hamill a chance to actually show off his range, as he did in Last Jedi. Just as we saw in the concept art, he's lurking around Darth Vader's castle on Mustafar, in search of an ancient well of power from a Sith temple known as "Mortis." And, again, just as the leaked imagery showed us, he's being haunted by the ghost of Luke Skywalker. Kylo Ren, absent from the opening of the film, is on a mission of his own. Rey begins the film disguised as a Tusken Raider, until she whips out her double-sided blue lightsaber to lead the Resistance as the last Jedi, a hero and inspiration to all. Finn, Poe, Rey, and Rose Tico–who has a deservedly large role in this version of Episode IX–are operating under cover, attempting to detonate an orbital ring that would bring sure disaster to Hux's gigantic military operation. Much of Duel of the Fates takes place on Coruscant, where the First Order has established their stronghold. If it's a fake, then whomever wrote this has a future in show business. No offense to fan fiction writers–but this shit is not fan fiction. But, if you've been keeping up with all the leaks, it is kind of hard to believe that this draft is anything but the real deal. So, things were inevitably set to change in a pretty big way anyway. And even if it really is an early draft of the project, it's worth keeping in mind that, at the time, Carrie Fisher was still alive. We have no way of knowing if this script is legit. Late last week, the PDF was finally shared in full. ![]() Or, at least, some semblance of what he had in mind. The elusive PDF, allegedly, was Colin Trevorrow's original plan for Episode IX that was abruptly cancelled when Disney fired him in 2017. After that, screenshots of an actual script began appearing on Twitter and Reddit. Then, the leaked concept art–which was verified by Trevorrow himself. First there was the script breakdown last month. And neither will any of the actors, if Disney’s CGI artists have anything to say about it.For weeks now, rumors about the existence of a 2016 draft for Duel of the Fates had been sprouting up all over internet. ![]() No matter how you feel about it, it’s clear that Star Wars will never die. Also, how are there only 9 Episodes when we’ve riffed at least 47 Star Wars movies? Sci-fi is so confusing! Huh.”īut now’s the time to dig in with RiffTrax and remember the perhaps most forgettable installment in the saga, Star Wars Episode 9! Hey, not even Police Academy made it to 9 movies, and Police Academy is the high bar against which all other cinema should be measured. But finally, at long last, we all got to see the big conclusion we’d been waiting for! And afterward, the world cried out as one, “.Oh. Sure, the decades were challenging, with plenty of highs and lows along the way. Ever since the original premiered in 1977, Star Wars fans have waited to see how the Skywalker saga would end.
