June 9th, 2021

Guest commentators Alison Rosen & Daniel Quantz share their Snoke theories as Rey finally meets the big boss!

Ends with Finn telling Rose and DJ that "This is it."

Rey as the weird girl at the party (continuing from yesterday).
The alternate reality where Billie Lourd got the part of Rey. Mentioned her character in Book Smart (2019).
How much of the overarching story of this Trilogy was decided on ahead of time? At times it feels like a blind collaborative storytelling game.
- A lot of the issues stem from the shuffling of directors back and forth, but there were also these same kind of ret-conny inconsistencies in the Original Trilogy. Referenced: the Brackett Draft and Marie Skywalker, the "Friends" reunion.
Snoke's disgusting face.
Far too in-depth discussion of whether or not Snoke has a [rump] and what it might be like.
Referenced: "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" (The Wizard of Oz).
The trope of movie stars being short.
What does Snoke do in that room all day?
Cross sections and family trees in books and/or comics.
Did Palpatine really help create Anakin? Was it actually immaculate conception?
Pete's theory that the Force doesn't exist.
- There's a fake ghost gunslinger in Kid Colt, Outlaw using magnets.
Unlike the Lucas-era films, which were in many ways very personal, there's no central storyteller in the Sequel Trilogy.
- Referenced: "Cat's in the Cradle".
- The Sequel movies lack the father-child dynamic of the originals, but they do have Rey making herself either from nothing, or in spite of her parentage.
