Seen the new Star Wars movie? Full of Spoilers

She's Obi Wan's grand-niece, Rey Kenobi.

Robi-Rey Kenobi?

Oof, that's a tough one because the next movie is Act 2, where complications arise, etc. It doesn't help that she has started her hero's journey as a certified badass already. In fact, one could argue that if this were a kung fu movie Rey would have been the big bad guy and Kylo Ren would have been the scrappy, cocky hero who got his butt handed to him in their initial confrontation.

Adam Driver hosting SNL doing Kylo Ren Undercover Boss on Starkiller Base was pretty hilarious .

Check it out on YouTube

haha
still Eddie Izzard was the best

Penne arrabiata!!

Yes, I'm your boss.
You're Mr. Stevens ?!

Love it.


Alastair, that sounds awesome. I'll have to find that. SNL stuff is usually hard to find on YouTube. Maybe Vimeo.com

This might be the best thing SNL has ever done.

Unless Luke lost his green sabre (the one he actually assembled) sometime after RotJ, why would he pick it up? That blue one was Anakin's, originally.

I just heard a rumor that the next film is a flashback, focusing on death star plans. I hope it's just a rumor. Almost has to be.

Are you pulling our leg? It's beyond a rumour, it's actually confirmed. Rogue One. The only part that is still rumour is that Harrison Ford will appear in it as Solo

That's the next film set in the Star Wars universe, but it's not Episode VIII.

Is this going to be like Marvel where they release five films a year around the same characters until no one gives a damn anymore?

Yes

In some ways I hope so, if there were more SW movies maybe we wouldn't see them as giant Oh My God nostalgia events that everyone absolutely must see and not judge badly for fear of being a fun murdering asshole, maybe we would start to just see them as movies and judge them more clearly. Right now there is too much nostalgia and emotion wrapped up in the whole enterprise.

Also, maybe then the Fort wouldn't be clogged up with a gajillion different SW threads.
