Movie Star Wars: The Last Jedi. - THREAD PART 1 - *SPOILERS and RUMORS* - Cont. in Part 2

[glenferry23]

You know Star Wars (and movies in general), they can always come up with some bullshit reason to cover a plot-hole. Like, how Darth Maul somehow survived tho cut into two pieces, and managed to make his way back into official canon (thru Rebels) as being still alive right thru to near the time of A New Hope (as Rebels reaches that era).

As much as I like creative writing, let's be honest here. Maul surviving that and returning in Rebels is crap. He was sliced in half and fell down a (seemingly) never ending pit. Ridiculous really, what next - Han survived too? Even with the planet blowing up, who knows?

I've liked Rebels from what I've seen in bits and pieces, but it's lost a lot of credibility IMO by having Maul survive and return.

I know they consider cartoons canon, but I don't. They just get too silly.

Agreed. I take it about as seriously as the stories of Boba Fett flying out of the Sarlaac pit in ROTJ.

It got sick of him and regurgitated him. [/Robot Chicken]

So Daisy Ridley is pretty much a supermodel now. And not one of the super thin ones either

Yes it was

The latest news...

 

[Exe Gesis]

when it comes to the man in black being portrayed by Benicio Del Toro, many have speculated him to be Ezra Bridger, but recently on a website wikiwand, he was listed as Vicrum Fett before it was changed to TBA, how valid this could be is a mystery. Could he be a sith or some form of leader??

 

[Exe Gesis]

I still think Snoke is Ezra, but it's probably not it.

 

[JackOutback]

I doubt there will be any serious connection to Rebels because 99 per cent of the people going to watch this don't give a s**t about Rebels.

I certainly reject Rebels as canon. Darth Maul was killed by Kenobi. End of story.

Your opinion. Still official canon though.

Yes, in my opinion. Thought that was clearly implied.

Add me as well. Maul being alive is ridiculous.

Yes I know Rebels is canon, but this is lunacy.

 

[Exe Gesis]

There are so many fantasy / non real things in star wars why let Maul's aliveness be the only thing that breaks the deal? What about ewoks etc beating storm stroopers? Not a deal breaker? Or how many other dramas out there where similar dead characters came back to life.

About as ridiculous as a bloke bathed in lava and in flames surviving and being rebuilt with machinery

Oh wait.

I think you'll find this was a deal breaker for many, it's a very common criticism of ROTJ.

Even for me in Rogue One, I thought it was a bit ridiculous how 'easily' Donnie Yen took down those storm troopers with his staff. They lay there like they were dead. Bizarre.

For the most part, I just like my movies to be internally consistent. Suspension of disbelief is fine within those parameters but there's no suggestion someone could survive being cut in half and thrown down a well.

Or burned alive laying in lava with most limbs missing?
