By the way, congratulations sir,

0:07

we officially released Nontopical

0:15

to the World today.

0:20

Yay!

0:21

And yet it was celebrating a

0:23

Minecraft movie.

0:25

I mean wait, wait, not

0:27

celebrating.

0:29

Yeah.

0:30

Yeah.

0:31

So...

0:32

Criticizing.

0:33

Criticizing.

0:34

You know, lovingly criticizing

0:36

it by tearing it to pieces and

0:38

throwing every piece into a

0:40

fire.

0:41

As they burned, it hurt because

0:43

I was so happy for them.

0:44

Oh wait, no I wasn't.

0:46

That's a different song.

0:47

Alright, anyway.

0:48

May the 4th be with you.

0:50

And with your spirit?

0:52

Yeah.

0:53

Okay, so today is...

0:55

With your Father, with your Son,

0:56

and your Holy Spirit.

0:58

Today is the day that everybody

1:00

celebrates the cultural

1:02

phenomena that was Star Wars.

1:04

Was being the key word.

1:06

Why do I say was?

1:08

I say was because Star Wars is...

1:10

Was.

1:11

Money.

1:12

Money.

1:13

Star Wars is nothing but just

1:15

an intellectual property to

1:17

make money now.

1:18

Now don't get me wrong, there

1:19

are a couple of other good

1:20

things that have happened with

1:21

Star Wars.

1:22

You know, Rogue One was good.

1:24

Yeah.

1:25

And/or the first season was

1:26

good.

1:26

I've heard some mixed things

1:27

about the second season.

1:28

Yeah.

1:29

Uh...

1:30

We haven't seen the second one.

1:31

Mandalorian.

1:32

That's about it.

1:33

I mean, like everything else

1:36

that has happened since the

1:37

great...

1:38

The great...

1:39

Acquisition.

1:40

Yeah.

1:41

The great Disney acquisition of

1:43

2000 whatever year it was.

1:45

The Tatooine purchase.

1:47

The...

1:48

The...

1:49

That's a good one.

1:50

The Tatooine purchase.

1:52

In which George Lucas was given

1:55

four billion dollars for all of

1:58

his IP.

1:58

And he thought he was getting a

2:00

good deal.

2:00

How foolish he was.

2:02

So...

2:03

We decided that today we'll do

2:06

some discussion about Star Wars.

2:08

Uh...

2:09

This...

2:10

This year...

2:11

This year I think we'll focus

2:13

on the sequels and not...

2:14

Not so much like a review of

2:16

the sequels.

2:16

If you haven't seen any of the

2:18

Star Wars sequels...

2:19

Uh...

2:20

Be happy.

2:21

You are lucky.

2:22

You know...

2:23

We'll summarize it this way.

2:24

First one was okay.

2:26

Second one complete trash.

2:27

Well...

2:28

First one was like a copy of

2:29

the original...

2:30

That was so far.

2:31

Yeah...

2:32

But...

2:33

But...

2:34

Okay...

2:35

But look...

2:36

We're trying to do a high level

2:37

summary.

2:37

Okay?

2:38

First one was okay.

2:39

Just like the first Jurassic

2:40

World...

2:40

Was okay.

2:41

They were decent movies.

2:42

There was nothing overly wrong

2:44

with them.

2:44

Except they were just rehashes

2:47

or reboots of the previous

2:49

movies.

2:49

It's fine.

2:50

Movie number two...

2:52

Completely off the rails and

2:55

stupid.

2:55

Movie number three...

2:57

Completely off the rails and

2:59

stupid because they wanted to

3:01

revert everything that happened

3:02

in movie number two.

3:03

Because they admitted that it

3:05

sucked.

3:05

Yeah...

3:06

Um...

3:07

And then they made the third

3:09

one suck even more.

3:10

So...

3:11

I think we're going to take a

3:13

different approach.

3:14

Instead of just like...

3:15

Tearing apart everything we

3:17

hate about the sequels.

3:18

Like so many other people have

3:20

before us.

3:20

Yeah...

3:21

I mean we're still gonna do

3:22

that.

3:22

But we're gonna do it in a

3:24

different way.

3:24

Uh...

3:25

We're gonna talk about...

3:26

How these things could have

3:28

worked betterer.

3:29

Hopefully.

3:30

Hopefully.

3:31

Like...

3:32

If we can remember them.

3:33

Considering how bad they are.

3:34

Yeah...

3:35

I mean we...

3:36

We've had some conversations

3:38

about this stuff.

3:39

I mean...

3:40

I think first off like...

3:41

We need to start with episode...

3:43

Uh...

3:44

Uh...

3:45

Uh...

3:46

Seven.

3:47

Seven.

3:48

Yes.

3:49

So...

3:50

I don't have an issue with

3:51

things being on a desert planet

3:53

if they need to be.

3:53

By the way...

3:54

If you haven't seen any of the

3:56

sequels or any of Star Wars in

3:58

general...

3:59

Consider yourself lucky.

4:00

Part 2.

4:01

I mean...

4:02

Fine.

4:03

Uh...

4:04

This will make no sense to you.

4:06

But listen anyway.

4:07

Cause...

4:08

Hopefully we'll still be

4:10

entertaining.

4:10

Despite it being Star Wars.

4:12

Alright.

4:13

So...

4:14

We have Rey who is like this...

4:17

Well first of all no.

4:18

We have Poe.

4:19

We start with Poe.

4:20

We start with Poe.

4:21

Wait...

4:22

Do we start with Poe or Finn?

4:23

Or do we start with Poe and

4:25

Finn?

4:25

Uh...

4:26

I think we started with Poe at

4:28

the old guy's house.

4:28

So the panda.

4:29

Right?

4:30

Nah...

4:31

Actually that...

4:32

That could work!

4:34

No...

4:35

How...

4:36

How could we add Jack Black to

4:38

something else to inshittify it?

4:40

Oh wait...

4:41

No wait...

4:42

That happened in a season of

4:43

Mandalorian didn't it?

4:44

Wasn't he in a season of Mandalorian?

4:46

He was like some rich guy.

4:47

Oh yeah that's right.

4:48

In one episode he was.

4:49

Oh no it's already happening!

4:52

No!

4:53

It's already happened!

4:55

Okay so...

4:56

Yeah he was some rich fat guy

4:58

just like he is in Rini White.

4:59

Oh...

5:00

That's harsh.

5:02

That's harsh.

5:03

So basically...

5:05

Somehow...

5:06

For those that haven't seen the

5:08

movie...

5:09

Somehow...

5:10

First Order has established and

5:13

taken the place of the Empire.

5:16

Yeah because it's a rip off of

5:18

the Empire.

5:19

They're still Stormtroopers but

5:21

with different armor that still

5:22

looks like...

5:23

Yeah I think you know it would

5:26

have been a better story if

5:28

they had shown like the

5:30

resistance slash rebellion

5:32

fighting against something

5:35

before it became critical.

5:37

Yeah yeah...

5:38

Like somebody's speaking up in

5:39

the...

5:39

Yeah yeah...

5:40

Yeah the New Republic.

5:41

Like somebody's speaking up in

5:42

the New Republic and going hey...

5:44

Um...

5:45

There are these shady militia

5:47

groups that seem to be like...

5:48

You know all those rich people

5:50

that sponsor our campaigns?

5:52

Mmhmm.

5:53

You know the ones that sell

5:55

weapons?

5:55

Mmhmm.

5:56

They're still making a shit ton

5:58

of money somehow.

5:58

Mmhmm.

5:59

But the war's over.

6:00

How are they making money?

6:02

See I wonder...

6:03

And we're seeing records that

6:05

like...

6:05

Stuff that looks like it

6:07

belonged to the Empire...

6:09

But better...

6:11

Is being funneled to these

6:13

militia groups.

6:13

Now don't we have contracts

6:15

with these people for our own

6:17

protection?

6:17

Yeah...

6:18

Yeah...

6:19

Shouldn't we...

6:20

Shouldn't we be you know

6:22

monitoring their activities and

6:23

making sure that they're not

6:25

selling weapons of mass

6:26

destruction to potential

6:27

enemies of the Empire?

6:28

Nah...

6:29

We...

6:30

We...

6:31

We have other things to worry

6:32

about...

6:32

No...

6:33

Like starvation on this planet...

6:34

So we're just thrown into the

6:36

middle of this.

6:36

Yeah...

6:37

And First Order is all powerful

6:39

Empire now and stuff...

6:40

Well...

6:41

Sort of...

6:42

Even though they're not the

6:43

Empire...

6:43

Yeah...

6:44

They're just a group.

6:45

Anyway...

6:46

So...

6:47

So...

6:47

That's our idea on how to fix

6:49

part of it is...

6:49

There needs to be a lead up.

6:50

Alright?

6:51

We're just kind of thrown into

6:53

the middle of it.

6:53

Which I know in the original we

6:56

were too.

6:56

We don't need too much politicking.

6:58

But...

6:59

It is such a clear echo of the

7:01

original where it's like...

7:03

Hey...

7:04

Uh...

7:05

We know that you received Widget.

7:07

Give us Widget.

7:08

No...

7:09

Hides Widget and Droid.

7:10

Hides Widget and Droid.

7:11

Hides Widget and Droid.

7:12

Like...

7:13

Funny.

7:14

Come on!

7:15

Like...

7:16

Ugh...

7:17

Alright...

7:18

So anyway...

7:19

You have...

7:20

Poe who is the guy who received

7:22

the Widget...

7:22

He's...

7:23

He's...

7:24

X-Wing Pilot guy.

7:25

Yeah...

7:26

He's badass Pilot guy.

7:27

Dumb Pilot guy.

7:28

He's Pilot guy that is supposed

7:30

to be like Han Solo but isn't.

7:32

He's nowhere near as good.

7:34

Aww...

7:35

Anyway...

7:36

So I think we keep him...

7:37

Nora's handsome.

7:38

He he he.

7:39

And obviously he gets the Widget

7:41

anyway.

7:41

Yeah.

7:42

And then you have a character

7:44

who later becomes known as Finn.

7:46

And Finn is...

7:47

FN2187 or whatever.

7:49

Holy cow.

7:50

You remembered his cult sign.

7:52

Ha ha ha ha.

7:54

You're applauding but sir you

7:56

should be ashamed.

7:57

I know.

7:58

It's just funny.

7:59

So anyway...

8:00

But I remembered that.

8:01

So...

8:02

Finn is like...

8:03

Actually the origin story for

8:04

Finn...

8:04

It is so...

8:05

You don't need to do anything

8:06

with it.

8:06

I think that's fine.

8:07

Yeah...

8:08

His...

8:09

His group massacred a bunch of

8:10

people and...

8:10

And he couldn't pull the

8:11

trigger because he didn't want

8:12

to kill innocent people.

8:13

Yeah...

8:14

His programming got overridden.

8:15

Like his mental brainwashing

8:17

got overridden by...

8:18

I mean they don't really...

8:19

Actual empathy.

8:20

They don't really get brainwashed

8:23

but sure.

8:23

I...

8:24

It's kind of implied.

8:25

I mean they're raised from

8:27

children.

8:27

They're raised from babies.

8:28

They don't know any better.

8:29

Yes.

8:30

They're raised from children.

8:32

Meaning children who guaranteed

8:35

weren't forcibly removed from

8:37

the arms of their parents.

8:38

Well they were.

8:39

But that's besides the point.

8:40

Yeah.

8:41

So...

8:42

Uh...

8:43

Yeah so Finn...

8:44

Which of course gets under

8:45

emphasized that you know the...

8:46

Both the empires and the Jedi

8:48

engage in child kidnapping.

8:50

Yeah.

8:51

Okay.

8:52

Uh...

8:53

And also his friend died and...

8:54

And got a blood hand mark on

8:57

his face.

8:57

Okay.

8:58

Yes.

8:59

So...

9:00

Actually no that might have

9:01

been a civilian.

9:01

Yeah.

9:02

So we're gonna...

9:03

We only have like 45 minutes to

9:04

an hour to deal with this.

9:04

Yeah.

9:05

So we gotta figure out how to

9:06

speed this up.

9:06

So...

9:07

Meanwhile...

9:08

Alright.

9:09

Uh...

9:10

So Poe gets...

9:11

Um...

9:12

And then...

9:12

Don't they...

9:13

Don't they...

9:14

Poe...

9:14

Oh yeah.

9:14

Poe gets captured and then Finn

9:17

saves him.

9:17

Yes.

9:18

Poe gets captured, Finn saves

9:20

him, and then they crash on Not

9:22

Tatooine.

9:22

They escape in...

9:23

Not Tatooine.

9:24

Jakku.

9:25

It's called Jakku.

9:26

Jakku.

9:26

That's their planet number

9:28

three.

9:28

Where we meet...

9:29

Number two actually.

9:30

We're not at number three yet.

9:31

Yes.

9:32

Where we meet Rey.

9:33

Actually we are because Mandalorian,

9:35

but still.

9:35

Well no, we're not counting

9:37

that okay?

9:37

That didn't happen yet.

9:39

So anyway.

9:40

So...

9:41

We meet Rey.

9:42

Who...

9:43

Has the potential to be a good

9:45

female character.

9:46

Yeah.

9:47

She's a scrapper.

9:48

She's a scrapper.

9:49

She's a scrappy little young

9:51

woman who's surviving on her

9:52

own and her parents abandoned

9:53

her for reasons we know not why.

9:55

Until later.

9:56

Until later.

9:57

But we really don't even need

9:59

that backstory necessarily

10:01

because it really didn't play

10:03

all that much of a role in the

10:05

movie.

10:05

Yeah.

10:05

It really didn't matter.

10:06

Like, I think we could throw

10:08

away that subplot.

10:09

Yeah.

10:10

Rey doesn't need to be anybody

10:12

important.

10:12

She's an orphan.

10:13

And she doesn't need to be like

10:16

super powered.

10:17

Yeah.

10:18

Like, it's okay if...

10:19

You know, I'll buy her having

10:21

the ability to know about ships

10:24

and stuff.

10:24

Yeah.

10:25

Guess what.

10:26

Because she tears them apart

10:27

all the time.

10:27

Yeah.

10:28

Like, she's been scrapping in

10:30

and out of an Imperial, like,

10:31

starship.

10:31

And she lives in an AT-AT.

10:33

Yeah.

10:34

So...

10:35

I buy that.

10:36

Anyway...

10:37

Um...

10:38

So...

10:39

Poe and Finn crash.

10:40

Finn escapes.

10:41

He thinks Poe didn't.

10:43

Um...

10:44

And he steals Poe's jacket.

10:46

And he's a villain droid.

10:47

Yeah.

10:48

BB-8.

10:49

BB-8.

10:50

Yeah.

10:51

The droid begrudgingly goes.

10:52

He meets up with Rey.

10:53

Uh...

10:54

He acts like he's gonna help

10:55

her.

10:55

And then she tries to kill him.

10:56

And then the Empire...

10:57

Or the First Order tries to

10:59

kill them.

10:59

And...

11:00

Hey!

11:01

Look what's there!

11:02

It just happens to the Millennium

11:03

Falcon!

11:03

It's a piece of junk!

11:04

The Millennium Falcon!

11:05

It's the Millennium Falcon!

11:06

I mean a piece of junk!

11:07

Yeah.

11:08

I mean the Millennium...

11:09

Alright.

11:10

Fine.

11:11

We'll keep the Millennium

11:12

Falcon because...

11:12

It's the Millennium Falcon.

11:13

I'm so glad to come back later

11:15

for reasons.

11:16

And then...

11:17

And then...

11:18

You know...

11:19

You know...

11:20

Die at the end.

11:21

But that's besides...

11:22

Oh!

11:23

And then we have...

11:24

We forgot to mention the...

11:25

The baddie.

11:26

Kylo Ren!

11:27

The mentally imbalanced Kylo

11:28

Ren!

11:28

Moody teenager!

11:29

I mean Kylo Ren!

11:30

You know what?

11:31

I don't think we have to do

11:32

much with him.

11:32

I think like there are a couple

11:33

of scenes we could have like...

11:34

Removed to tone back him and

11:37

make him more menacing than

11:39

stupid.

11:39

Yeah.

11:40

Um...

11:41

But honestly...

11:42

Like him smashing his helmet

11:44

around instead.

11:45

Yeah.

11:46

Like him like...

11:47

Throwing tantrums.

11:48

Throwing tantrums.

11:49

And destroying...

11:50

Destroying entire control

11:52

panels.

11:52

Yeah.

11:53

That...

11:54

Okay.

11:55

We could get rid of that.

11:56

Okay.

11:57

So we get rid of that stuff.

11:58

But he's trying to track all

11:59

these people down.

11:59

And he sent people to Jakku.

12:01

And they escaped.

12:03

And then...

12:05

They meet up with Han Solo!

12:07

Wow!

12:08

Wow!

12:09

He's running like a...

12:11

A freighter with one of the

12:13

aliens...

12:13

Yeah.

12:14

Okay.

12:15

You know what?

12:16

The Han Solo stuff can stay as

12:17

is.

12:17

There's nothing we need to do

12:18

there.

12:18

Yeah.

12:19

And then he's in debt to a

12:20

bunch of sketchy people.

12:21

Yes.

12:22

That try to come and kill him.

12:23

I mean...

12:24

He's a smuggler.

12:26

Yeah.

12:27

I mean...

12:28

That...

12:29

Okay.

12:30

So anyways...

12:31

So let's move forward.

12:32

Okay?

12:33

We move forward in time.

12:34

We gotta go fast.

12:35

This is like...

12:36

Gotta go fast.

12:37

Gotta go fast.

12:38

Uh...

12:38

We end up in not Star Wars Cantina.

12:40

Uh...

12:41

On...

12:42

Who knows what planet?

12:43

I don't know what planet it is.

12:45

But it's Maz's Cantina.

12:46

Oh yeah.

12:47

I think Maz is fine.

12:48

I thought that was the second

12:51

episode.

12:51

No.

12:52

No.

12:53

Maz's Cantina is at the end of

12:54

the first one.

12:54

Oh.

12:55

So I think it's fine.

12:56

Alright.

12:57

Maz's Cantina is fine.

12:58

Because that's where Rey finds

13:00

the lightsaber.

13:00

And we all love Maz.

13:01

Maz is cool.

13:02

Yeah.

13:03

Maz is cool.

13:04

I think that they should have

13:06

more of her.

13:06

Instead of having just one

13:08

throwaway line in the second

13:09

movie.

13:09

And nothing...

13:10

Oh wait no.

13:11

She got to give Chewie his

13:13

medal in the third movie.

13:14

Yeah.

13:15

Oh.

13:16

Wow.

13:17

No.

13:18

But she was supposed to be like

13:20

the Yoda.

13:20

And then she was gone.

13:22

And then she was gone.

13:23

And then she was gone.

13:24

So like I think Maz leads Rey

13:27

to lightsaber.

13:28

She doesn't have like any

13:30

family connection to it.

13:31

But she discovers she's force

13:33

sensitive.

13:33

And the force is trying to lead

13:36

her to find Luke Skywalker.

13:39

Okay.

13:40

Luke Skywalker.

13:41

Um.

13:42

Meanwhile Finn is conflicted

13:44

about the fact that he's been

13:45

lying about being part of the...

13:46

Yeah.

13:47

I think that part's fine.

13:48

Yeah.

13:49

Like where he's thinking about

13:51

abandoning and whatnot.

13:51

I think the love subplot or the

13:53

interest between the two of

13:55

them...

13:55

Either commit or don't.

13:56

Yeah.

13:57

Get rid of it.

13:58

We don't need it.

13:59

Finn shows no interest in her

14:00

romantically whatsoever.

14:01

Uh.

14:02

We'll touch on that when we get

14:04

later in the series.

14:05

We got some ideas there.

14:06

Uh.

14:07

So I don't really remember what

14:09

happened with how the rebellion

14:11

founds our trail base.

14:12

Rey gets captured.

14:13

Um.

14:14

Learns to use force in

14:17

captivity.

14:19

Mind control.

14:20

Mind control.

14:21

Mind control and whatnot.

14:22

I don't know if that...

14:23

You don't need to drink that

14:25

cup of coffee.

14:25

Yeah.

14:26

I don't think...

14:27

I think her being able to

14:29

resist Kylo Ren...

14:31

Fine.

14:32

Because that can be attributed

14:34

to like...

14:34

Just sheer willpower.

14:35

Yeah.

14:36

I mean clearly we've discovered

14:38

she's force sensitive.

14:38

But like...

14:39

Her being able to like...

14:41

Um.

14:42

You know...

14:43

Do the Jedi mind trick on the

14:46

stormtroopers.

14:47

Not stormtroopers.

14:48

Whatever the hell they are.

14:49

They are stormtroopers.

14:50

Okay.

14:51

They're so called stormtroopers.

14:52

I think that...

14:53

That...

14:54

You know like...

14:55

Just have some other way that

14:57

she escapes.

14:57

Like make it so that like...

14:58

She yanks hard enough on the

14:59

restraints that they short

15:00

circuit or something.

15:01

And then just have her like

15:03

knock the person out.

15:03

Or just have the stormtroopers

15:05

be dumb and have her trick them.

15:07

Yeah.

15:08

That's fine too.

15:09

Like...

15:10

Hey.

15:11

You know Kylo...

15:12

You know...

15:13

Ren...

15:14

Ren told me that he was coming

15:16

back and like...

15:16

Like I'm really starting to get

15:18

thirsty.

15:18

What the heck?

15:19

I don't know.

15:20

But like have it be something a

15:22

little bit clever rather than

15:23

just...

15:23

I suddenly can use the force.

15:25

Yeah.

15:26

Alright.

15:27

The force.

15:28

Um.

15:29

Uh...

15:30

They...

15:31

They go to shield generator

15:33

thing while...

15:33

Yeah.

15:34

Space battle happens on...

15:35

Not death stage.

15:36

Not death star.

15:37

Yes.

15:38

Uh...

15:39

And...

15:40

Should we talk about not death

15:41

star.

15:41

Yeah.

15:42

Not...

15:43

A.K.A.

15:44

Star Killer Base.

15:45

Because it's a giant planet

15:46

instead of an actual...

15:46

So...

15:47

Fine.

15:48

And also it feeds off the power

15:50

of stars.

15:50

Don't forget that.

15:51

Yes.

15:52

Giant...

15:53

Star Killer Base takes out New

15:54

Republic.

15:54

Fine.

15:55

Fine.

15:56

It takes out all the Richie

15:57

planets and all the...

15:58

Yeah.

15:59

Fine.

16:00

Fine.

16:01

Yeah.

16:02

We keep that.

16:03

Because we like seeing the bourgeoisie

16:05

get killed.

16:05

Yes.

16:06

Okay.

16:07

So we got that.

16:08

Take care of the really high

16:10

crit damage.

16:10

Finn...

16:11

We'll keep the Finn...

16:13

Discoverers that Poe is alive...

16:15

Because...

16:16

When they get rescued...

16:17

Or when he helps to rescue...

16:19

Whatever.

16:20

Stuff.

16:21

That...

16:22

The reunion when the New

16:23

Republic...

16:23

Or not New Republic...

16:24

When the Resistance people get

16:26

together...

16:26

The reunion...

16:27

That's fine.

16:28

Yeah.

16:29

The reunion between Leia and

16:31

Han...

16:31

Briefly.

16:32

Fine.

16:33

Yeah.

16:34

You know, just like...

16:35

Oh, it sucks what happened to

16:37

our son.

16:37

Oh yeah, by the way...

16:38

Kylo Ren is Ben Kenobi...

16:40

A.K.A.

16:41

The son of...

16:42

Ben Solo.

16:43

Sorry.

16:44

Ben Solo.

16:45

How could you?

16:46

The son of Han and Leia.

16:47

Look...

16:48

How could you compare...

16:49

Ben Kenobi.

16:50

We gotta go fast.

16:51

We gotta go fast.

16:52

Okay.

16:53

So...

16:54

They go to...

16:55

Keep all that shit.

16:56

Yeah.

16:57

Um...

16:58

They go back to fight...

16:59

Um...

17:00

Get rid of garbage compactor

17:02

line and...

17:03

Yeah.

17:04

Like...

17:05

You can have Phasmus still

17:06

kinda be there.

17:06

Phasmus like...

17:07

Queen Stormtrooper.

17:08

I feel like Phasmus should've

17:10

either had more part or not

17:11

exist.

17:11

Yeah, she should've had more

17:13

part...

17:13

Or not exist.

17:14

Pick one.

17:15

I think she should have more

17:17

part.

17:17

Yeah.

17:18

She should be like constantly

17:19

like trying to track...

17:20

Like...

17:21

She has a personal vendetta

17:23

against Finn.

17:23

Yeah.

17:24

And so throughout the series

17:26

going forward, instead of her

17:27

just being like a one-off

17:28

character...

17:28

Like she should be like looking

17:31

for him.

17:31

She should be the secondary

17:33

antagonist.

17:33

Right.

17:34

Like she's like thwarting him

17:36

at every turn.

17:37

She like implants a tracker on

17:39

him.

17:39

Yeah.

17:40

You know, something like that.

17:41

It's a track...

17:42

Which...

17:43

Which...

17:44

You know, actually...

17:45

That could feed into the second

17:48

movie.

17:48

Yeah!

17:49

How do they find the resistance?

17:50

There we go!

17:51

We still have to talk about

17:52

what...

17:52

Do we change the shield

17:54

sequence where they blow

17:55

everything up and Han gets

17:56

absolutely destroyed?

17:57

Yeah, that's fine.

17:58

So...

17:59

There's shield bunker.

18:00

We can't attack it until the

18:01

shield bunker is destroyed.

18:02

They blow it up.

18:03

They go to shield bunker.

18:04

They place explosives.

18:05

Solo has encounter with his son.

18:08

His son says, you know, "Help

18:10

me."

18:10

And he says, you know, "Basically

18:12

anything, son."

18:13

And then he gets stabbed to

18:14

death.

18:14

And Rey and Finn witness it.

18:16

And everybody screams and then

18:18

the things blow up.

18:19

Alright, fine.

18:20

Yeah, and then they win.

18:21

They destroy Starkeller Base or

18:23

whatever.

18:23

We keep that.

18:24

We keep that.

18:25

I think we keep the battle that

18:28

happens in the woods.

18:29

Yeah.

18:30

Even though Rey has no clue how

18:31

to use a lightsaber, really.

18:32

Yeah, it was funny when Finn

18:34

tried to use it though.

18:35

Yeah, that was fun.

18:37

But yeah, we keep all that

18:39

stuff.

18:39

And Finn ends up in a coma.

18:41

Fine.

18:42

We'll keep that.

18:44

And they meet up with C-3PO and

18:47

R2 and they discover the map.

18:50

And she goes to meet Luke

18:52

Skywalker and...

18:53

The end.

18:54

Because it doesn't really do

18:57

anything yet until Episode 2.

18:59

Episode 2.

19:00

Or Episode 7?

19:01

Episode 8.

19:02

Episode 8.

19:03

Episode 8.

19:04

Episode 8.

19:05

Okay.

19:06

So Kylo Ren temporarily

19:08

defeated.

19:08

Starkiller Base blowed up.

19:10

How they still have resources

19:12

at this point, I'm not sure.

19:14

Now, what do we do with the

19:16

next one?

19:17

Oh boy.

19:18

So it's starting in space

19:20

normally, right?

19:21

So it started in space and they're

19:24

in this space battle because of

19:26

course space battle.

19:28

You know, and we got to take

19:30

out these bombers and we got to

19:31

take out these...

19:32

You know, you could have it

19:34

actually start with the First

19:36

Order with them saying, "Here,

19:38

look at this new ship that we

19:40

got from our investors."

19:41

No, no, no, no.

19:42

And then...

19:43

I think we scrapped them.

19:44

Oh.

19:45

We keep Snoke.

19:46

Uh-uh.

19:48

And we focus with him and Kylo

19:50

Ren in the beginning.

19:52

Because remember, this is

19:53

supposed to be like the low

19:54

point.

19:54

Yeah.

19:55

We want to start out as a low

19:56

point for Kylo Ren too.

19:57

Oh boy.

19:58

So, Snoke is just sitting there,

20:01

like that entire scene where he's

20:03

like, "How the hell did you get

20:05

bested by a girl who had never

20:06

touched by a lightsaber?"

20:07

That shit needs to happen at

20:09

the beginning.

20:10

Yeah.

20:11

Because the First Order has,

20:15

you know, been defeated.

20:17

Mostly.

20:18

Like, they have like a multi-trillion

20:23

dollar thing that just got blowed

20:27

up.

20:27

So, a multi-trillion dollar

20:29

thing just got blowed up.

20:30

All their space credits have

20:32

been used up.

20:33

You know, they didn't even have

20:35

like the first loan payment

20:37

made.

20:37

I mean, they blew up the Richie

20:40

plans.

20:40

So, we're not in good shape

20:43

here.

20:43

So, obviously Snoke is pissed

20:47

off.

20:48

And for those who don't know,

20:50

Snoke is like this really

20:52

creepy looking evil guy who is

20:54

like, his face rotting off and

20:56

shit.

20:56

Doesn't bother get it fixed

20:58

even though technology could

20:59

fix it.

20:59

Not like, I'm going to have

21:02

this weird ass open gaping hole

21:06

in my cheek and keep it.

21:08

And his skull.

21:09

And my skull, yeah.

21:10

And my skull, yeah.

21:11

I want people to see my brain

21:13

pulsing.

21:13

Alright.

21:14

But that aside, like, leader of

21:17

the First Order, Snoke, starts

21:19

like flipping out at people.

21:21

And, maybe at this point, he's

21:25

like, you know, you're

21:27

incapable of serving the Order

21:31

the way that you should.

21:33

You need to go and meditate or

21:35

some shit.

21:36

I'm putting Captain Phasma in

21:37

charge of like dealing with the-

21:38

What about the other guy?

21:40

No, fuck him.

21:42

Well, Captain Phasma and other

21:45

guy who just loves screaming at

21:47

everything.

21:48

Yeah, what was his name again?

21:49

What was his name?

21:50

Nobody cares.

21:51

His name is Nobody Cares.

21:52

Okay, but he puts the two of

21:55

them in charge and says like to

21:57

one of them, you're in charge

21:59

of, you know, Empire operations,

22:02

you know, improvement and you're

22:05

in charge of the hunt for the

22:07

rebels.

22:08

Yeah.

22:09

Or the hunt for the resistance.

22:10

Alright.

22:11

So there we go.

22:13

We set this thing up where the

22:16

Empire/First Order is repositioning

22:20

itself.

22:21

Alright?

22:22

Yeah.

22:23

I think that's a good setup.

22:24

Then you cut back to Rey and

22:28

Skywalker.

22:29

And, you know, I kind of like

22:33

what they tried to do.

22:35

Yeah, with him being a four

22:37

months old man.

22:38

Yeah, like, I think they should

22:40

have done it less comically.

22:41

Yeah.

22:42

But I like the idea of Luke as

22:44

a cynical old man.

22:45

And also remove the green milk

22:47

part.

22:47

We don't need that.

22:48

Yeah.

22:49

But like, yeah, and the blue

22:52

milk.

22:52

Yeah.

22:53

We don't need none of that.

22:54

Although we can keep the boards.

22:56

Yeah.

22:57

Just because that does add a

22:59

little bit.

22:59

Comedic relief.

23:00

Comedic relief.

23:01

And he.

23:02

But I think that he doesn't

23:04

necessarily throw the lightsaber

23:06

away like he does in this

23:07

version.

23:07

But he like looks at her as if

23:10

he's a man who is just too

23:12

tired and doesn't give a shit.

23:15

Yeah.

23:16

He just looks at her, sighs,

23:19

and walks away.

23:20

And she's like, but you're Luke

23:23

Skywalker and I'm here to be

23:24

trained by you.

23:25

And he's like, no.

23:27

Like, I don't have any patience

23:30

for this.

23:30

I've experienced too many

23:32

losses.

23:32

Like, set up some implied stuff

23:34

instead of just like telling it,

23:36

which of course they're going

23:37

to do.

23:37

Yeah.

23:38

Set up an implication like.

23:39

There have been too many losses

23:41

attempting to follow the Jedi

23:43

way.

23:43

I've let down, I've let down my

23:45

friends.

23:45

I've let down my family.

23:47

I have failed my students.

23:49

I'm retired.

23:50

Yeah.

23:51

And even when.

23:53

Actually, there are canonically

23:55

retired Jedi.

23:56

So.

23:57

But even when he, you know, you

24:00

know, she starts, maybe she

24:02

finds the texts ahead of time.

24:04

Yeah.

24:05

So she finds the sacred Jedi

24:07

texts and starts reading

24:08

through them and understands,

24:10

you know, the basics.

24:11

And starts doing her own

24:13

training and he kind of looks

24:14

at her and he's like, huh, she's

24:16

not giving up.

24:16

What the hell?

24:17

You know, I guess I'll help her

24:21

along.

24:22

But he's still cynical.

24:23

Yeah.

24:24

You know?

24:25

And I still think that we keep

24:28

the stuff of like Kylo Ren in

24:30

meditation.

24:31

And he starts being able to

24:33

reach out and feel this

24:34

connection to Rey.

24:35

Yeah.

24:36

That we keep.

24:37

Now what do we do with the epic

24:40

space battle bullshit in the

24:41

beginning?

24:42

I mean, it's a little bit of,

24:44

oh, right.

24:45

Yeah.

24:46

And they destroy all their

24:51

bombers.

24:53

Yeah, the destroyers are like,

24:54

so the rebels have been found.

24:56

Now I think...

24:57

I think we need a scene with Phasma

24:59

where she's like...

25:01

Yeah, we get a scene with Phasma

25:04

leading up to it where it's

25:06

like, you know, she like

25:09

goes to like a sketchy cantina

25:11

or something.

25:12

She like bribes somebody with

25:14

some money.

25:15

She's in disguise.

25:16

She's like, you know, I'm

25:19

looking to, you know, I'm

25:22

formally from the First Order.

25:25

I have critical information for

25:27

the, you know, the...

25:29

Resistance.

25:30

Resistance.

25:31

I need to get into them

25:32

personally.

25:33

I can't transmit this because

25:35

the New Order, the First Order,

25:37

whatever the hell it is, they'll

25:40

track the transmission and I'll

25:41

be fucked.

25:42

Yeah.

25:43

Okay.

25:44

So she gets the information and

25:46

she radios it back.

25:48

Phasma to base one, you know, I

25:51

have them.

25:52

And then we cut to battle.

25:54

Battle.

25:55

So like the entire Rebel slash

25:57

Resistance fleet is mobilized

25:59

because they've been traveling

26:01

from planet to planet.

26:03

Okay.

26:04

What do we do about the stupid

26:06

Poe who tries to overthrow

26:08

Captain making smart decisions?

26:11

Poe versus Hoda.

26:12

Poe versus Hoda.

26:13

Yeah.

26:13

Yeah.

26:14

We'll get to that.

26:15

We're not there yet.

26:16

So, um, Rebels get decimated.

26:18

You know, they're getting

26:20

destroyed.

26:21

And I think that we leave...

26:22

We don't talk about something

26:24

being a stupid fleet killer or

26:26

whatever.

26:27

Poe knows that he has a shot.

26:30

He decides to take it.

26:31

He overrides orders.

26:33

He's like, no, fuck it.

26:34

We're gonna bomb that ship.

26:36

I don't care what anybody says.

26:38

You know, he acts like a hot

26:39

shot, like, kid, like, who just

26:41

has an axe to grind or whatever.

26:43

Yeah.

26:44

Um, Leia's ship still gets

26:45

blown up because, of course,

26:47

Carrie Fisher was dead.

26:48

So, we gotta keep that.

26:50

Uh, somehow she has magical

26:51

force powers.

26:52

Eh, fine, whatever.

26:53

Fuck it.

26:55

I mean, she technically dies in

26:56

the third place.

26:57

Yeah.

26:57

So, we'll keep it.

26:59

Um, and he gets court-martialed.

27:03

He gets put on light duty.

27:05

You know?

27:06

And during the battle, this

27:07

shakes up his good friend Finn.

27:10

And Finn, you know, comes out

27:12

of his coma.

27:13

Uh, and the rebels are taking

27:15

it on a run, on the run.

27:17

So, so, General Organa, Leia,

27:19

you know, court-martiales him,

27:22

basically says, you're

27:24

restricted to, like, you know,

27:26

level one duties.

27:27

You're not, you're only to

27:29

leave your quarters when, you

27:30

know, meal, for mealtimes and

27:32

going to the bathroom.

27:34

You are done.

27:36

Okay.

27:37

And she puts other general in

27:38

charge.

27:40

Other generals should not.

27:41

Admiral Hargo.

27:42

Yeah.

27:43

Admiral Hodor.

27:45

Uh, Admiral Hodor, I don't have

27:46

an issue with her as a

27:47

character.

27:47

I have an issue with everything

27:49

she does as a character.

27:50

Um, I think that you need to

27:52

tweak her where, first of all,

27:54

Poe is not like, oh, can you

27:56

tell me what's going on?

27:58

Can you tell me what's going on?

27:59

No.

28:00

Like.

28:01

So, we blow that one up.

28:02

We blow that up.

28:03

Because that's not what Poe

28:05

would be like anyway.

28:06

Yeah.

28:06

Yeah.

28:06

He's not going to be nipping at

28:08

her heels.

28:09

Um, but Finn comes out of his,

28:11

his coma.

28:13

Already a nervous wreck because,

28:14

you know.

28:15

Yeah.

28:15

Almost died.

28:16

And Finn, you know, Finn

28:18

immediately sees Poe and, you

28:20

know, they, they embrace and

28:22

great.

28:23

You know, they, they're

28:24

reunited.

28:25

And they then go off and they

28:27

start having a conspiratorial

28:29

conversation about, okay, I'm

28:31

not saying that Hodo doesn't

28:32

know what she's doing.

28:35

Um, but, like, we've got to do

28:37

something to, like, seriously

28:40

take out, we, we got to do

28:43

something to, like, to help us

28:46

to get away.

28:47

We've got to do a distraction.

28:49

And we don't care what they say.

28:51

Like, we've got to hit the, hit

28:53

the first order and hit them

28:54

hard.

28:54

Let's figure out a way to do it.

28:57

All right.

28:59

Rose is gone.

29:01

Fuck Rose.

29:02

No one likes Rose.

29:03

No one likes Rose.

29:03

She serves no purpose.

29:05

Get rid of her.

29:06

All right.

29:06

So, that's where we leave that.

29:08

Now we've got to cut back to

29:10

what's going on with the first

29:12

order.

29:14

So, uh, Ben has been meditating.

29:19

And he is starting to feel some

29:20

level of conflict between the

29:22

good and the evil.

29:23

But he can't let, he can't let,

29:25

you know, Snoke know this.

29:27

So, like, he gets called back

29:29

to Snoke and he's like, I am

29:31

even more firm in my resolve to

29:33

get this Rey, you know, traitor,

29:36

scumbag girl.

29:38

And bring her here.

29:40

And, you know, and Snoke's like,

29:42

you know what?

29:43

I think that's a good idea.

29:44

By the way, um, during the

29:48

battle of such and so, during

29:51

the battle of Starkiller Base,

29:55

we may have snuck a tracker

29:58

aboard her ship.

30:01

But we did not want to act on

30:03

it right away.

30:04

So, I think it'd be cooler if

30:06

we set up a situation where he

30:09

is going to go back to the

30:11

planet where Luke is.

30:14

Yeah.

30:15

Like, that's an awesome setup.

30:18

Now you cut back to Luke and

30:20

her training.

30:22

And I think she still goes into

30:24

the mystery cave.

30:26

Mystery cave with Evil Ray.

30:27

She goes into the mystery cave.

30:29

She encounters Evil Ray.

30:30

Because she will have to

30:32

encounter Evil Ray later.

30:33

Yeah.

30:34

But maybe in a different way.

30:36

Alright?

30:36

So, I think Evil Ray is a good

30:38

concept.

30:40

I think Luke maybe, you know,

30:41

is starting to, like, believe

30:44

in her as being somebody who

30:47

could be a good guardian of

30:49

whatever the future of this

30:51

religion is.

30:53

Maybe it's not Jedha anymore

30:54

and Sith.

30:55

Maybe it's something more

30:56

universal that you take the

30:58

light with the dark or whatever.

31:00

It's more Buddhist.

31:03

It's like the temple guys from

31:05

Rogue One.

31:06

Alright.

31:07

So, we cut back to Poe and Finn.

31:11

They see that Hodo is doing

31:12

something.

31:14

She is, you know, she's got the

31:16

entire fleet going away from

31:18

the Empire.

31:21

But they're clearly going to

31:22

run out of fuel soon.

31:24

And they decide to hell with it.

31:26

Here's what we're going to do.

31:28

We figured out that a small

31:30

ship can penetrate, like, this

31:32

one gap in the shields of that,

31:34

like, giant Star Destroyer

31:36

thing.

31:37

Yeah.

31:38

There's a very convenient

31:39

thermal exhaust port in the

31:40

shields.

31:41

Right.

31:42

Like, there's a way to, like,

31:44

penetrate the shields.

31:45

And then we're going to sneak

31:46

aboard and we're going to...

31:48

I mean, according to Star Wars

31:50

lore for the Rolly droids, if

31:51

something goes slow enough, it

31:54

can get through their shields.

31:56

So, maybe that's how they work

31:57

for the ships.

31:57

So, they go over and they start

31:59

kind of slowly wreaking havoc

32:01

on this ship.

32:05

But something goes wrong.

32:06

And they need to...

32:07

Then they have to, like, jet

32:10

off.

32:12

And they're...

32:12

They then jet off and they go

32:15

to the distant Crystal Desert.

32:18

Salt planet.

32:18

Salt planet.

32:19

Salt planet.

32:19

Okay?

32:20

So, we get them there ahead of

32:21

everyone else.

32:22

And they're like, well, it's

32:23

good that we made it here

32:25

because...

32:26

There's an old rebel base here.

32:27

There's an old rebel base here.

32:28

Great.

32:29

Their situation is done.

32:31

Oh, but we have a scene with

32:32

them.

32:33

It's like, okay.

32:34

You know what?

32:35

You know what?

32:35

We have a chance to breathe

32:36

here.

32:37

Maybe we should share some of

32:38

our backstories.

32:39

And, like, so, you know, Poe

32:41

shows some...

32:42

Shares some of his backstory

32:43

about where he came from and

32:44

whatnot.

32:46

Finn, you know, shares that he

32:47

has no memory of his mother and

32:48

father.

32:50

That, you know, Phasma has

32:51

always, like, singled him out.

32:53

This, that, and the other.

32:54

And that, you know, all he's

32:56

really wanted to do is be happy.

32:59

And to find someone that he

33:00

could be happy with.

33:02

Now, we don't go further than

33:03

that.

33:04

But we leave that there.

33:07

We cut back to what's going on

33:09

on the main rebel fleet.

33:11

Look, it'll be a story.

33:13

You know?

33:13

But you see, like, it's all

33:15

consolidated.

33:16

So, eventually...

33:19

What's his face?

33:22

What's his name?

33:23

What's his name?

33:23

What does he look like?

33:25

The moody teenager guy.

33:28

Kylo Ren.

33:29

Kylo Ren gets to Luke's planet.

33:32

Luke refuses to face him.

33:34

And so, like...

33:36

So, like, one minute, like, Rey

33:38

is there with Luke.

33:40

And the next minute, she turns

33:41

around and he's gone.

33:44

And it's just...

33:45

It's just him.

33:47

It's just...

33:48

What's his face?

33:49

Kylo Ren.

33:50

It's just Kylo.

33:51

And he's like,

33:52

You will come with me.

33:53

And maybe they have, like, a

33:55

brief battle or something.

33:58

But he manages to knock her

33:59

unconscious.

34:02

He doesn't really want to hurt

34:02

her.

34:03

Because he has feelings for her.

34:05

But he doesn't want to reveal

34:05

that.

34:06

Nah.

34:07

He captures her.

34:08

Takes her to...

34:10

You know?

34:11

To...

34:11

What's his face?

34:13

Snoke.

34:14

And the rest of this continues

34:15

to proceed as it is.

34:16

Snoke taunts them about the

34:18

fact that, like, the fleet is

34:20

getting destroyed.

34:23

All this stuff.

34:25

What do we do about the Finn

34:27

and Rose moment since Rose

34:29

doesn't exist?

34:30

We've already solved that.

34:32

We don't have to worry about

34:33

that.

34:34

Because that's not even going

34:35

to happen yet.

34:36

Well, there's not going to be

34:37

salt plant battle.

34:39

Well, there will be.

34:39

But it's not happening here.

34:42

So.

34:45

You know, Kylo decides, much

34:47

like Rey has decided, actually,

34:49

at this point.

34:49

Much like Luke has decided.

34:51

That things are bigger than

34:52

good and evil and right and

34:53

wrong.

34:55

There are things that happen.

34:57

Some are positive.

34:57

Some are negative.

34:58

And you've got to take the good

34:59

with the bad.

35:00

And he does not really want

35:03

this to be the way that the

35:06

First Order is run.

35:10

So he secretly kills...

35:13

You know, he kills Snoke.

35:14

Just like in the thing.

35:15

Yeah.

35:16

And at the end, he asks Rey to

35:18

join him.

35:19

And that's where we end that.

35:21

That was something that Red

35:22

Letter Media suggested.

35:24

I think that's a great

35:24

suggestion.

35:25

Right there.

35:25

You cut it.

35:27

Now we go to episode 9.

35:30

Yeah, but we didn't do salt

35:31

battle.

35:32

Now we start episode 9 with the

35:34

battle on the salt planet.

35:36

So, during episode 8, as they're

35:39

fighting Snoke and fighting Snoke's

35:42

guards and all of that, you're

35:45

cutting back to the rebellion

35:47

and Hodo gets everybody onto

35:49

another transport ship or

35:52

something.

35:53

And she does the Hodo maneuver

35:54

and destroys the ships

35:55

following her.

35:56

Fine.

35:57

Yeah.

35:57

We keep that.

35:58

We keep that.

36:00

So, we know at the end of

36:01

episode 8 that the Resistance

36:05

has escaped.

36:07

Yes.

36:08

Episode 9.

36:10

They're on the planet.

36:12

Yes.

36:12

Finn and Poe are waiting there.

36:15

They notice the Rebel fleet

36:16

coming in.

36:17

They call them to the base and

36:18

they say, hey, we've got to,

36:20

like, get a communication out.

36:23

We got, like, what do you mean

36:24

there's only 12 people left?

36:26

What the hell is going on?

36:27

And so, they manage to get a

36:28

transmission out.

36:30

They don't know what's going to

36:31

happen with that transmission.

36:32

They just get, like, a wideband

36:34

subspace transmission out.

36:35

So, we don't do the palpeteen

36:37

thing?

36:38

No, no, no.

36:38

We're getting there.

36:40

Okay.

36:41

Meanwhile, we cut back to Rey

36:44

and, um, what's his name?

36:47

Kylo Ren.

36:48

And Kylo is talking to Rey and

36:50

he says, Rey, this is only the

36:52

beginning.

36:54

Like, Snoke has told me about

36:56

this thing that is, like, an

36:59

ancient evil power that he has

37:01

been under the control of the

37:03

entire time.

37:05

And they actually joined forces.

37:07

Yeah.

37:07

So, instead of it being, like,

37:08

no, I don't want you.

37:10

Yes, I want you.

37:10

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

37:11

We start to form an emotional

37:13

bond with that.

37:15

Yep.

37:16

Right.

37:17

Alright.

37:18

So, they now.

37:19

I'm not inputting much into

37:20

this.

37:20

They go to Snoke's throne.

37:22

They find.

37:24

They find a map that will lead

37:26

them to the Wayfinder.

37:29

Sith planet or just the Wayfinder?

37:32

Just the Wayfinder.

37:33

We still have to have a little

37:33

bit of thing.

37:34

But we can leave out the C-3PBOs,

37:36

stupid sacrifice and all of

37:37

that.

37:39

Meanwhile, we can leave out C-3PBO

37:40

entirely.

37:41

Yeah.

37:41

Meanwhile, we cut back to the

37:43

First Order against, like, the

37:44

Rebels.

37:46

Do they have the giant gorilla

37:48

AT-AT things?

37:50

Sure.

37:52

But what happens is, so, Rey

37:54

and Kylo show up and they help

37:57

out.

38:01

Just as a means to, like, you

38:03

know, try to, like, level the

38:04

playing field.

38:06

Yeah.

38:06

Alright.

38:06

For both sides.

38:07

For both sides.

38:08

So, they go down together to

38:11

show that, hey, we have this

38:13

new vision where we can bring

38:16

everybody together.

38:17

And just to prove that we have

38:18

this side of light and this

38:20

side of dark that have come to

38:21

a middle ground.

38:22

And they're going to work

38:23

together for the betterment of

38:24

mankind.

38:25

And alien kind.

38:27

So, they're doing the fight.

38:29

Luke shows up.

38:31

In his, like, not in, like,

38:34

ghost form.

38:35

But Luke actually shows up.

38:37

I mean, he does technically

38:38

show up.

38:39

Yeah.

38:40

But Luke shows up.

38:41

And instead of there being,

38:42

like, this huge conflict

38:44

between Kylo and him that is

38:45

just baby shit.

38:47

The two of them, like, come to

38:49

terms.

38:50

And then Luke goes out and

38:51

faces down Phasma.

38:53

So, Phasma, like, even though,

38:55

um, Kylo's like, Phasma, stand

38:58

down.

38:58

That's an order.

38:59

She's like, I don't recognize

39:01

your authority anymore.

39:02

Bring forward the traitor you

39:04

hold.

39:04

And it's like, Phasma, it's not

39:07

worth.

39:08

Their personal vendettas are of

39:09

no consequence to the Empire or

39:12

whatever.

39:13

First Order.

39:13

First Order.

39:15

And, like, even, like, side guy

39:16

who is always yelling is like,

39:18

yeah, we should probably back

39:20

off.

39:21

And he's the one that's going

39:22

to go to the Sith planet later

39:24

on because he somehow got

39:26

transmitted.

39:28

You know, when Snoke died, he

39:29

got transmitted the plan to get

39:31

there or whatever.

39:33

It was part of Snoke's will,

39:34

you see.

39:34

Yeah, yeah, fine.

39:36

But, um, so Luke.

39:39

So, initially, Kylo Ren gets

39:40

into a battle with her.

39:42

And when Luke sees that Kylo

39:44

Ren is, like, not going to win

39:45

because she's, like, being

39:47

sneaky and stuff.

39:49

He steps in.

39:50

And he dies for Kylo Ren.

39:54

Like, while defeating her.

39:55

So, like, they both, like, like,

39:57

he stabs her.

39:59

She shoots him at the same time.

40:00

They both die.

40:01

Unless she's using, like, the

40:02

electric stuff.

40:03

But even so, okay.

40:05

The point is, they die together.

40:08

Kylo Ren realizes that Luke

40:09

respected him the whole time

40:10

and just didn't know what to do

40:12

with his dark streak.

40:14

Keep going.

40:17

And again, it reinforces that

40:19

light in him growing.

40:22

Yeah.

40:23

Alright.

40:23

So, he and Rey have to go find

40:25

this Wayfinder thing.

40:27

On destroyed Death Star planet.

40:29

Sure.

40:30

We'll keep that.

40:31

We're not going to keep the

40:32

horse people because that's

40:33

dumb.

40:34

Nobody cares about the group of

40:35

stormtroopers that didn't stormtrooper

40:37

properly.

40:39

Rebels, meanwhile, they're like,

40:40

hey, there's this planet out

40:42

there where we know there are

40:44

some, like, old Rebel allies.

40:46

Maybe they'll help us.

40:48

And this is where they travel

40:49

then to go meet Lando and maybe

40:52

a few of the other people from

40:54

the original series.

40:56

And they're like, look, we sent

40:57

out a subspace message.

40:59

We don't know how many people.

41:01

We just know that Rey and Kylo,

41:02

you know, have found out about

41:04

this super evil place that's

41:06

been pulling all the strings

41:08

and providing all the resources

41:10

for the First Order.

41:12

We need to take this place out.

41:14

And we're very, like, scrapped.

41:16

And initially, like, Lando's

41:18

like, well, I'll see what I can

41:20

do.

41:21

You know, just so that he could

41:22

show up later, of course.

41:24

Alright.

41:25

So, that's all that happens

41:26

with them.

41:27

You know, maybe Finn and Poe go

41:28

on some kind of reconnaissance

41:30

mission together.

41:31

They have to do something

41:32

together because, again, there's

41:35

a point to this.

41:36

We'll get there.

41:37

But they have to be together

41:38

the whole time.

41:39

Oh, boy.

41:39

They can't be separated.

41:41

Okay.

41:42

We cut to Kylo and Rey.

41:44

Rey gets into, like, the old

41:46

throne room.

41:48

And she's like, I have a

41:48

feeling that you have to stay

41:49

behind.

41:50

And he's like, I sense that,

41:52

too.

41:53

And she goes in and she faces

41:54

her darker self.

41:56

And while that's happening, Ben

41:58

gets to see his father.

42:00

What?

42:01

Well, that happened originally.

42:03

No, it didn't.

42:04

Finn never got to see his

42:04

father.

42:05

No, Ben.

42:06

Oh, Ben.

42:07

Yeah, while that's happening,

42:08

like, Han Solo still shows up

42:10

to Ben.

42:11

And that's all well and good.

42:14

Wait.

42:14

I've got it.

42:15

I've got it.

42:16

Alright, I figured out how to

42:17

deal with our subplot issues.

42:19

So, here's what we do.

42:21

Oh, no.

42:24

Poe and Finn decide to stay

42:27

with Lando.

42:31

And they're sitting there.

42:32

And they're in Lando's cabin at

42:34

one point or whatever.

42:36

And they're like, hey, what's

42:37

this picture here?

42:38

And it shows Lando with, like,

42:40

a son.

42:41

And he's like, oh, yeah, that.

42:43

I always regretted the day.

42:45

I just turned my eye for one

42:47

minute.

42:48

And my son ran out into the

42:49

square.

42:50

And he was taken from me.

42:54

You know, I always remember him

42:54

because of this birthmark that,

42:56

you know, he had.

42:58

And Finn looks at himself.

42:59

He's like, well, wait a minute.

43:02

And Poe looks at him and is

43:03

like, are you thinking?

43:07

And it's like, daddy?

43:10

Alright, maybe not quite like

43:11

that.

43:12

But, but, and then, like, as he's

43:15

reflecting upon this sudden

43:17

life change, you know, later

43:20

that evening.

43:21

Like, Poe sits down next to him.

43:23

Like, they're sharing a room or

43:24

whatever.

43:25

And, and, like, they, they

43:27

share a meaningful moment.

43:29

And it doesn't have to be, like,

43:30

you know, maybe, like, they

43:31

hold hands or something.

43:33

So, these guys clearly are

43:35

interested in each other in a

43:37

romantic way.

43:38

We don't go to, like, full-on

43:40

embrace and kiss until at the

43:41

end when they win.

43:43

Yeah.

43:43

But I'm saying we now have two

43:45

key romances.

43:47

Alright?

43:47

Leia needs to die at some point.

43:49

We'll figure out.

43:51

That's a minor detail.

43:52

I mean, that's when she just

43:53

died of old age.

43:54

Yeah, she just dies of old age.

43:55

Whatever.

43:56

That's what happened.

43:58

I don't know what we have Maz

44:00

do at this point because maybe

44:02

she, maybe Maz acts as, like,

44:05

the conduit or communicator

44:07

between Kylo and Rey.

44:09

And, like, she is kind of the

44:10

go-between because they still

44:12

can't transmit, like, openly

44:13

what they're planning on doing

44:15

for fear of the endpunt.

44:17

Yeah.

44:17

So, she meets up with them in,

44:19

like, another cantina.

44:21

They pass along the coordinates

44:22

and say, okay, we're going to

44:24

go there first and see what we

44:25

can pull off.

44:27

Yeah.

44:27

Alright.

44:28

What about Evil Ray?

44:30

What happens with Evil Ray?

44:31

Evil Ray got defeated on the...

44:33

Ray defeated Evil Ray to get

44:34

the Wayfinder.

44:35

Okay.

44:36

Alright.

44:36

So, we've got all this done.

44:38

Now, it's time for everybody to

44:39

converge on Sith Planet, but,

44:40

of course, Rey and Kylo get

44:42

there first.

44:43

Now, the question is, do we go

44:44

serious?

44:46

Look.

44:46

Or do we go silly?

44:47

There was no Palpatine Returns

44:49

moment in this franchise we're

44:51

making.

44:53

So, obviously, we have to do

44:54

the only right thing.

44:56

Darth Jar Jar.

44:58

Yeah, okay.

44:58

That's where I was going to go

44:59

with it as well.

45:00

So, they get down into the bowels

45:03

of this planet, and they go and

45:06

they face down Darth Jar Jar.

45:10

And Darth Jar Jar is just every

45:12

bit as goofy as he seemed like

45:14

Jar Jar was in the prequels,

45:17

except much more serious and

45:19

deeper voice.

45:22

And, like...

45:23

He still has the accent.

45:25

Yeah, he still has the accent,

45:27

but, like, he's been playing

45:29

everybody for a fool the entire

45:30

time.

45:32

And, like, then he explains,

45:33

like, back, you know, even back

45:36

during, like, the time of

45:38

Anakin, like, I did this.

45:40

Even during the Clone Wars.

45:41

Yeah, even during the Clone

45:42

Wars, I did this.

45:44

I allowed Obi-Wan Kenobi to

45:45

escape and kept his presence

45:47

hidden.

45:49

I've been pulling the strings

45:50

this entire time.

45:52

And then they're like, well,

45:53

what does that have to do with

45:55

us?

45:56

And he's like, you two were to

45:58

be the faded ones that would

46:00

bring together true balance to

46:02

the universe.

46:04

I can't allow this to happen.

46:07

And Jar Jar isn't, like, hooked

46:09

up to any, like, machines or

46:11

anything.

46:12

He's still in that dark throne

46:13

room.

46:14

But he's not, like, all burnt

46:15

and stuff.

46:15

He's just, like, older and,

46:17

like, dark.

46:18

And in dark robes.

46:19

And he pulls out...

46:21

I say he pulls out...

46:24

What's his name?

46:26

The double-bladed lightsaber.

46:28

Yeah, Darth Maul's lightsaber

46:29

type thing.

46:30

He pulls out Darth Maul, like,

46:31

a replica of Darth Maul's

46:33

lightsaber.

46:34

I mean, there are just other

46:35

double-bladed lightsabers.

46:36

And they begin their fight.

46:38

Meanwhile, the Rebels now...

46:41

You know what he should say

46:42

right before...

46:44

What?

46:45

Me, I can't allow you to

46:46

succeed with that.

46:48

Yes, that's fine.

46:50

Rebel Fleet, without Lando, has

46:54

shown up.

46:56

And they see all the Star

46:57

Destroyers.

46:58

And the Star Destroyers, unlike

46:59

the situation that we're in

47:01

that was stupid in the current

47:03

version,

47:04

Star Destroyers are, like,

47:05

starting to get above the

47:06

planet and getting ready to

47:07

jump to light speed.

47:09

Okay?

47:10

Like, they're going to go and

47:11

take their little mini Death

47:12

Star cannons and start wreaking

47:14

havoc.

47:15

Nobody's going to stop them.

47:16

So the Rebels, like, have more

47:17

of a timetable here.

47:19

They're fighting, you know,

47:20

they're getting, like...

47:21

No space forces either.

47:23

Right.

47:24

And so, like, they're getting

47:25

their ships taken out one by

47:26

one.

47:27

They try to move closer.

47:28

And as they move closer, of

47:29

course, there's, like, millions

47:30

of TIE fighters.

47:32

The Fly Swarm.

47:33

The TIE Swarm.

47:34

Poe and Finn are back, you know,

47:38

with Lando.

47:39

And we don't know what's

47:40

happening with them.

47:41

Like, they stayed to try to

47:42

convince him.

47:43

All right?

47:44

So we don't know what's going

47:45

on with them.

47:46

We cut back to...

47:47

We cut back to...

47:49

Kylo Ren.

47:50

Kylo Ren and Rey.

47:52

Darth Jar Jar.

47:53

Fighting Darth Jar Jar.

47:54

Like, they manage to, like, cut

47:56

his lightsaber in half.

47:58

But he ends up, like...

47:59

It's a special lightsaber.

48:01

It's made to be cut in half.

48:02

He ends up injuring...

48:04

He ends up injuring Kylo Ren.

48:06

So he's kind of down.

48:07

We're going to keep that for

48:08

now.

48:09

Ben.

48:11

And that'll be, like, how...

48:13

I think that remains how Leia

48:14

dies.

48:14

Like, she gives up the last of

48:16

her power to heal him or

48:16

something.

48:17

Yeah.

48:18

Like, she's like...

48:19

You know, she comes out of her

48:20

coma.

48:21

You know, son, take what

48:22

strength I have left.

48:24

And she dies.

48:25

Okay?

48:26

Like, she fades to nothingness.

48:28

He's magically healed.

48:29

And then C3 Field goes, oh my

48:31

goodness.

48:32

Yeah.

48:32

But he's healed.

48:34

But, like, he's not getting up

48:36

yet.

48:36

And it gets to the point,

48:37

though, like, where the broken

48:39

part of the red lightsaber is

48:40

next to him.

48:42

And so Jar Jar is fighting with

48:43

Rey.

48:44

They're fighting back and forth.

48:46

Meanwhile, we cut back to the

48:46

Rebels.

48:47

The Rebels are getting picked

48:48

off one by one.

48:50

And all of a sudden, over the

48:51

radio, you hear Poe coming over.

48:55

Hey, everyone.

48:56

Did you miss me?

48:58

And it's him.

49:00

It's him and Finn in one ship.

49:03

Lando and another ship and a

49:05

whole, like, cadre of ships

49:06

coming in.

49:07

Is it going to be the wall of

49:08

ships like it was in the movie?

49:11

Enough to show that they've got

49:12

enough manpower to take this

49:14

thing out.

49:15

So, meanwhile, we get to the

49:17

final moments of the battle.

49:20

Like, so Jar Jar, Darth Jar Jar's

49:21

got, like, Rey knocked down.

49:24

He's, like, destroyed her

49:26

lightsaber or thrown it off the

49:28

side.

49:28

He has lightsaber up against

49:30

her.

49:31

And he's, like, you know, he

49:33

has some catchy line.

49:35

I don't know what it'd be.

49:37

Misa said this cannot be or

49:38

whatever it is.

49:40

And then Kylo sneaks up behind

49:43

him and says, you know,

49:44

something catchy like, learn to

49:47

speak, you dumbass.

49:49

Or something.

49:49

Maybe not that.

49:50

But, like, he has something

49:51

catchy to say.

49:53

And stabs Jar Jar, like, right

49:55

through the chest.

49:58

And Jar Jar, like, falls back.

50:01

The lightsaber continues to cut

50:03

down through him because it's a

50:05

lightsaber.

50:06

Like, has anybody stopped to

50:07

think about, like, the lightsaber

50:09

would keep cutting?

50:10

Yeah.

50:11

Because of gravity.

50:12

And that, so Jar Jar falls over.

50:15

The lightsaber cuts down into

50:17

the center of, like, the

50:18

electrical system in the planet.

50:21

Which is, like, helping to

50:22

control all the ships.

50:25

So, um, of course, Rey and Kylo,

50:28

like...

50:30

Does Jar Jar still live?

50:31

No.

50:32

Does he come back?

50:33

No, no, no.

50:33

Jar Jar's gone forever.

50:35

Uh-huh.

50:35

All right.

50:36

Um, Rey and Kylo, like, have a

50:37

moment where they look at each

50:39

other, but they realize the

50:40

entire facility is falling

50:41

apart.

50:42

They've got a book.

50:43

So they book.

50:44

They get out.

50:46

Meanwhile, all the ships start

50:47

crashing down onto the planet,

50:48

too.

50:48

So not only do they have to get

50:49

out of the facility, they've

50:50

got to get to their ship and

50:51

avoid all the other stuff.

50:53

The Rebels continue to do their

50:55

bit, um, you know, up top.

50:58

You know, they continue to

50:59

fight the good fight, and they

51:00

notice all the ships are, like,

51:02

crashing.

51:03

So they begin to celebrate.

51:05

They're all celebrating having

51:06

a good time.

51:08

Um, Kylo and Rey get off the

51:10

planet successfully and join up

51:12

with them and meet them.

51:15

So that's going well.

51:17

And at that point, they all

51:19

meet up together, like, on a

51:20

nearby planet, you know, to

51:22

celebrate their victory.

51:25

And that's where, you know, Kylo

51:27

and Rey, like, show up together

51:29

kind of much in the same way as,

51:32

like, Leia and Han Solo would.

51:35

You have Poe and Finn, and they

51:37

have the first good gay kiss in

51:40

Star Wars history on film.

51:42

And then finally at the end, um,

51:46

Rey and Kylo do go to Tatooine

51:49

to honor the memory of Luke and

51:53

Leia.

51:54

And they take up residence.

51:56

And Han.

51:57

And they take up residence in

51:59

Luke's childhood home, much in

52:01

the same way that the current

52:03

ending works.

52:05

Even though Kylo Ren dies in

52:06

the current ending.

52:08

Even what?

52:09

Even though Kylo Ren dies in

52:10

the current ending.

52:11

Let's, let's have a happy

52:12

ending.

52:14

Like, he shouldn't just be redeemed.

52:16

He should be redeemed and have

52:18

the ability to live a good life.

52:21

And I think that that, that is

52:22

a much better Star Wars sequel

52:25

trilogy than what Disney came

52:27

up with.

52:29

Yippee.

52:29

It still has enough subplots to

52:31

where people can build

52:32

character.

52:33

It has enough, you know, it has

52:34

enough battles to keep things

52:36

interesting.

52:38

But it doesn't split into 15

52:39

different directions with a

52:40

bunch of subplots that go

52:42

nowhere.

52:43

Hmm.

52:44

And I think, I don't know, I

52:45

think that would have been a

52:47

much better overall story.

52:49

I mean, obviously this isn't

52:50

ironed out.

52:50

I mean, Kit and I are just, I

52:52

mean, you and I are just two...

52:54

Random people?

52:56

Random people.

52:57

Random people.

52:57

Like, we're not screenwriters.

52:59

We're not, you know, we're not

53:01

experts.

53:03

We have no ties to Hollywood.

53:06

Sadly.

53:07

Sadly.

53:07

This is just our fan theory.

53:10

And that's what we bring to you

53:12

here on Non-Topical.

53:14

A nonsense fan theory for you

53:17

53:19

Well, fan idea.

53:20

Or fan idea.

53:21

Sorry, fan edit?

53:23

It's not really an edit.

53:24

Recreation.

53:25

Yeah.

53:25

It's pretty good.

54:16

It's pretty good.

54:18

All right.

54:18

So, I think that's good.

54:20

All that matters is Darth Jar

54:21

Jar.

54:22

Yep.

54:22

Darth Jar Jar becomes a thing

54:24

in canon.

54:26

Yes.

54:26

Finally.

54:27

Canonically.

54:28

All right.
