It's written to be an ending pretty conclusively, so whatever happens afterwards is already going to be a change to that.<br /><br />I mean, I agree that if they just go for a straight Rebellion vs. Empire thing it'd be pretty boring, but I'm 100% positive the filmmakers agree as well. We might well see imperial factions against New Republic or some variation on that, but I really don't think having the Empire return in some fashion is going to necessarily be a cop-out or disappointment.T.

This whole foreshadowing of the future materializes in the next film, so it makes sense that the elements in "Jedi" that foreshadow a return to democracy be materialized in Episode VII, including Yoda's dying wish to Luke to train the next Jedi. If it doesn't deliver on that then it's a disappointment and a giant cop-out to the story. <br /><br />I would simply hate to see another trilogy of the Rebellion against the Empire.

Like, it's still there, we can still go back and watch it. That events after the film may make the happy ending only temporary is kinda just how things work, both in terms of narrative and real life.<br /><br />It makes about as much sense to criticize the original film for ruining the darkness of Revenge of the Sith by being so optimistic and happy in its events. As long as this series doesn't go all grimdark or gritty with things, I doubt we'll have to worry about Jedi being 'ruined' at this point.T.

One of George's original ideas was that this trilogy would deal with the dismantlement of Imperial Remnants, so I guess that idea was passed on. I'm more concerned with the rebuilding of the Republic and the restart of the Jedi since their isn't anything clear on this trailer. <br /><br />As far as the villain goes, my guess is that the guy is trying to restart the Sith-going after ancient weapons (after all that Lightsaber does have a strange sound)-but he's no Sith per say. I just hope that the end of Jedi isn't butchered and that the Prophecy is maintained. <br /><br />I have more to say in a post I'll upload later todayDiego Perez de Vargas Machuca https://www.blogger.com/profile/13231112862216263516noreply@blogger.com
