Driver Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Old school style thread-- before rumors were so commonplace... Tell us what you really want to see in Episode 8. Maybe based on rumors that are out there, or maybe something you just want to see, or something you think they HAVE to do to make you happy. Here's what I want: - Lando. If the rumor that they visit a casino planet is true, I want him running it. - Knights of Ren. I want an explanation, I want to see more of them. - Braveheart style lightsaber battle with lots of people on either side. (probably an episode IX wish) - I really want to see a water-based battle. - Luke kicking ass - more R2, less 3P0 - lightsaber designs that harken back to the OT, fashioned from old camera parts - Phasma, thrown out of the First Order, turned bounty hunter with a vendetta against Finn - a landspeed chase (like on Endor-- but not bikes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Ray Kenobi Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 The main thing I want is for Rian Johnson to go full Rian Johnson. Balls to the wall genre weirdness. If they gave him the green light to go nuts with his own ideas, I think we're in for something really different and really fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 - Snoke explained, not necessarily intertwined with any of the original six movies or the EU...but I won't complain if so - An OT loction, but preferably not Tatooine...which leaves Endor, Yavin, or Dagobah. May have to settle for Yavin in Rogue 1 here, but Dagobah and Endor are possibilities in Episode VIII given their potential meaning to Luke, Rey, or Kylo - A plot that doesn't somehow tie to a planet-sized super weapon - not because it bothers me, but because I don't want to hear any bitching from those that it would bother - There's always a shot of a neat looking new alien species or location, and spoilers say it's going to be something HUGE and IMPORTANT...and then it's not. Never. Maybe this time, one of those theories turns out to be true. - Maz explained a bit more, but not over-explained and overkilled - Del Toro = Thrawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Palpatine Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I want to see Padme as an old woman. My personal theory is that she faked her own death, and I want her to return. It would fix one of my biggest problems with the pt. I want to see Luke in full badass mode. I'm talking a lightsaber duel that blows the Obi Wan/Qui Gon v Maul fight out of the water. He should be the best Jedi ever and I want to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Poe do some flying that actually seems to make him stand out. Chewbacca as a wise mage - dude's a million years old and still was Han's bitch. Snoke doing something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Jade Skywalker Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Okay okay I know Poe didn't have much screen time but seriously how did him not taking out 10 TIEs in one tracking shot not prove he's one helluva pilot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 He isn't billed as a helluva pilot, he's billed as the best pilot in the Resistance, and I didn't see anything THAT extraordinary out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like if they kept saying Anakin was the most powerful Jedi ever, but we only ever saw him do stuff that every other Jedi did, and saw him got his butt repeatedly kicked by "lesser" Jedi.

I don't think it will happen, but I can't think of anything else that would get as big of a pop. ** Poe does a series of rolls, flips, and switchbacks and takes out several TIE fighters as well as Stormtroopers on the ground. **Finn: Woooo!!!

See the above quote. That's twice in the movie that he's addressed as being the best/a helluva pilot. Which, given his screen time, is pretty considerable. And if the Ren line was supposed to be sarcastic, I don't think anyone told Adam Driver that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 I'm all for attacking a script for telling us something and not showing it-- but Poe had THREE sequences that showed off his piloting, which is more than Han or Luke ever got in their movies. In ANH Luke shows off, Han is just sorta piloting and we're told he's "good" In EBS, Luke takes down some walkers and Han dodges the hell out of some asteroids. In ROTJ, NEITHER of them show off pilot skills. And yet, we never question they are both badass pilots. Poe stole a tie fighter, did all sorts of stuff above Maz's castle, and led a big battle at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 If we were discussing what we wanted from Ep 6, I would want them to show that Han/Luke are awesome. Really, Lando and Wedge have been the most impressive pilots in the movies, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Jade Skywalker Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I totally forgot to mention Poe stealing a TIE. He managed to escape in a ship he'd never flown before. Jacen: I KNOW Poe is the best pilot, duh - I'm arguing that the script didn't tell instead of show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
