New Star Wars movies were announced

At risk, as usual, of making this a Star Wars board and losing PEhawk forever...
but anyway...

3 new Star Wars movies were announced and one of them will bring back Rey. Rey doesnt hold a special place in my heart, I admit but her movie , which will be about rebuilding the Jedi order, is quite of interest to me.

Instead of a classic Star Wars movie with some big bad guy to over come I have an idea Id love for them to try that I will try and see what you find folks think of it.

If youre really old or were introduced to Star Wars a certain way, watching Empire Strikes Back in particular and partly from Return of the Jedi you had a feeling that at a certain point learning the Force was really difficult and failing at it would often lead someone to the Dark side.

Obviously a lot of Empire comes right out and says it, but it was also just the vibe.. Luke being tempted.. Obi Wan talking about how its a dangerous time for Luke, the cave....


So instead of a movie with a big bad guy to defeat (or god forbid a BIGGER space station to blow up....) what if its a movie taking a bit of inspiration from education movies.

She gathers force sensitive children, but they are mostly traumatized because of their talents..theyve been hidden or abused, abandoned, kidnapped and hunted.. etc.. Most have trust issues, most have problems with authority and what not.. and each has their individual issues they must overcome.. Meanwhile due to failures of the Order before, Rey struggles with issues with the ...New New Republic or whatever.

Slowly and gradually she teaches and helps the students one on one to over come their demons and become proficient and when tempted to the Dark Side in the penultimate conflict in the movie all manage to resist except one.. the best but most troubled student who seemingly joins the foe.. But with a switch we see that student in fact went into the lair of the enemy not to be turned, but to save..when that proves impossible she or he finishes off the foe and makes it back. The New New Republic recognizes the Order again, and Reys faith in her students is redeemed or justified.

Im thinking like a Stand And Deliver type movie but with Jedi.

I think the Jedi as a dogma is just fucked.

Basically trying to be this neutral order with restrictive rules cause everyone to fall based on its teachings.

I think Rey needs to see the failures of the Jedi in order to learn from it and build a "new order." It can't sustain the way it's been run and the stories show they fail again and again. Legacy is essentially a loop of Jedi rises to power only to fall to the Dark Side; rinse, wash, repeat.

Its hard for me.. because its one more thing the Prequels messed up and now are forever tainted. The Prequels turned the Jedi into this sort of open institution that quasi led the government. So now its the JEDI's fault.. and the prequels put all this bullcrap in -- Jedis cant love, Jedis cant have sex, Jedis cant FEEL, blahblahblah. So NOW they seem like some out of touch thing and people can have this take like they are just ONE way of feeling the Force ..because of course we can imagine good guys feeling the Force , but still being able to get married or what not.

Its super aggravating. Because it so clearly was not meant to be like originally. If you feel the Force, and manage to not use it for bad.. then youre a good guy. Oh, and dont try to get morally ambiguous..if youre using the Dark Side we will know the minute you turn on your lightsaber or lightening starts shooting out of your fingers. If you had a good teacher, if you have the most serious mind, if youre mindful..then youre a good guy and youre a Jedi.

I really miss 1980.. man.. and I wish Id even been an adult so I could see things better at that point. I had the Yoda action figure and spent so much time trying to figure out if one of the shapes on his belt was implying a light saber handle, instead of realizing the point was that there was space for this kind of creature as well.. strong in the Force, but sort of the wise old man on the hill. Just as there were probably Jedi healers, and Jedi this or that. And there were Jedi Knights. And Jedi Masters. Yoda was an ellusive , mysterious, unknown wise Jedi master that taught others. And thats the direction this should be going. Get back to what was implied before.


OH..and I dont think its a coincidence that they decided to make this movie and meanwhile elsewhere, Grogu is out there. Rey and Grogu team up? Its a good bet.

I love Star Wars but my tea-reading says they are painting themselves into corners they can't undo.

I am ready for any ride Star Wars wants to take me on. I'm not down enough on the franchise to cast it aside. It just don't inspire me the way it once did (and that's okay).

This sounds like X-men.

If the Force can’t get you laid, what’s point?
