Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker seems to be set to go down in historical past as an anticlimax. The movie is rated the worst within the franchise, irritated legions of followers and should have achieved some critical harm to the fame of the sequence. Since its launch although, of us have been questioning simply what went improper and a touch got here early in 2020 when gossip began to leak about tensions between director J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm.
The story goes that Abrams screened a minimize that got here in someplace across the three-hour mark, solely to be ordered to slice it down considerably. This resulted in a theatrical minimize of 122 minutes.
That paring down means lots has been left on the reducing room flooring. We’ve seen proof of many of those minimize scenes in behind-the-scenes photos and sources from inside the manufacturing, too. This has included scenes of Kylo Ren reassembling his shattered helmet, the ‘Jedi refrain’ within the movie’s finale that includes ghosts relatively than simply voices and now, a scene by which Kylo Ren apparently ponders Vader’s burnt masks.
The above stills are from The Skywalker Legacy, the feature-length documentary included with the house launch of The Rise of Skywalker. Although the scene is clearly unfinished (you’ll be able to see a blue display within the nook), it seems to be prefer it’d have supplied a quieter and contemplative second. And truthfully, the film is sorely missing these, racing at full pace via places with out pausing for breath.
It additionally seems that this could have given us some extra perspective on Kylo Ren. His difficult relationship along with his household legacy is on the core of his character, and not less than to my eyes, this seems to be like he’s questioning if he’ll quickly meet the identical destiny as Vader.
Possibly in the future we’ll get a director’s minimize of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, however I wouldn’t depend on it taking place anytime quickly.
