Poe Dameron Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I never liked that Anakin got to be restored to being young and hot after a life of evil, and yet Obi-Wan the truest Jedi ever was stuck being perpetual old forever. I get the idea Lucas had, but it created more questions than it answered. I've always been an advocate for just replacing Shaw with Christensen altogether and then giving him a little bit of age makeup for the Force Ghost shot. Even before the Prequels, Anakin being played by an actor in his late-70s didn't make much sense. Even crediting him 15 years, he'd still have been in his 40s when he fathered Luke and Leia and became Darth Vader. They were probably skittish about replacing him in what was a rather memorable scene. Oddly, Lucas probably got cold feet on this because of previous backlashes. But it definitely would have done a better job of tying to the two Trilogies together than just plopping Christensen into the ghost scene and creating all those questions. At the least, it should have been all-in or not touched at all. The halfway compromise of only replacing him as a ghost was just a bad idea.

The Choc Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I'd have no problem with Ewan being the Obi Wan ghost. It's just a practical matter, Guinness is dead. He can't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamonAtila Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 The Anakin force ghost makes sense because he was reverted back to as time when he was a Jedi. Obi-wan and Yoda were Jedi until the end so thats why they stayed old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamonAtila Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Right, and using recycled footage of Guinness and dubbing it with McGregor's voice is a great idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 That's because you're overwhelmed with the entirety of what is less important. If Han Solo had been played by Kermit the Frog, that would've been of less import than the ghosts being right. http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/muppet/images/f/fd/Marleyandmarley.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I thought I already posted in this... huh... anyway...A plot with at least some level of complexityA film that isn't just a rehash of Empire - a Film that takes some storytelling risks and tries to give us a Star Wars movie we haven't already seen.A film that actually shows us things instead of hinting at off-screen "mysteries"An explanation of character's motivations That's basically it.

DANA-kin Skywalker Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Force ghost Anakin should have no arms, no legs, and charred skin. The Origin of Snoke is a non issue for me. Don't get why theories are everywhereIt's (kind of) an issue because:1). All old school Sith and Jedi are supposed to be dead and he just pops out of nowhere all force-trained and ready to rule the galaxy 2). It's fun to speculate I think he's just a brand new dude, but if he's going to be someone we've heard of already, Plagieus makes the most sense to me...except that it serves no purpose to be him. So it's probably just a new dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I've decided that it is Darth Maul. The guy is obviously immortal, and he was on the Death Start when it blew up (both times!). That's why he doesn't have his horns and why he has the scars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamonAtila Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 His name is just Maul now. Force ghost Anakin should have no arms, no legs, and charred skin. The Origin of Snoke is a non issue for me. Don't get why theories are everywhereIt's (kind of) an issue because:1).

So it's probably just a new dude. For the sake of speculating, Id say Mace Windu could still be alive. He could've been hiding as well and outlived Obi-wan and Yoda.To that, I'll say there could be sith running around we don't know about. However, Snoke doesn't even have to be a sith and I'm pressure sure they said he's not. (EDIT: Or maybe I just read that here) Why cant some dark side force user just weasel his way into power after Palpatine dying? He's ready to rule the galaxy, but does he?Maybe he's just popping out of nowhere for the audience. Maybe he's a household name for the republic, the way Han Solo talks about him.Maybe its like Trump, for so long they just knew Snoke for his wealth and his celebrity, until one day when the Emperor is taken down he decides hes going to replace him as the leader, and a lotta people see it as a weasel/dick move?
