The Force Awakenswas too similar toA New HopeandThe Last Jediwas too far out and different than anything thatStar Warsfans are used to. Pair that with a bunch of disappointment in regard to the decisions of director Rian Johnson and the fans are not happy. That’s where this new fake crawl forStar Wars 9comes into play. Just about every complaint aboutThe Last Jedihas been addressed in this nearly 4-minute video and it’s pretty awesome. There are SPOILERS forThe Last Jediahead, so read at your own risk.
Thefake crawlhasStar Wars9 titled A New Rebellion and begins right asThe Last Jediends, but it takes a quick turn fixing up some problems. First of all, it claims that Luke Skywalker didn’t die. Instead, what we saw was a clone and Luke will be back to do some amazing things that “he never got to do before.” This last bit is obviously poking a little bit of fun at Luke’s death and astral projection Force powers that we had never seen him use before.
Next up,Kylo Ren’s helmetmakes it back with a brand-new version that he will not bust up this time around. This is a bit of a controversial take betweenStar Warsfans. Some believe that Kylo Ren should have had his helmet on for a lot longer inThe Force Awakens, while many fans were happy to see him destroy the helmet inThe Last Jedias a way of ditching his superficial Darth Vader obsession. Elsewhere, Snoke is back as an epicDark Side Force ghostwho will never be tricked again. The fake crawl goes on to tease the fact that we didn’t get to see any of his backstory and reveals that he’ll get into a battle with the Knights of Ren.
Rey’s parentsare even brought up in this fakeStar Wars9 crawl while tying in Chewbacca and Rose’s new-found friendship. The two travel to Tatooine in an effort to find Rey’s real parents and then the crawl shows a list of just about every majorStar Warscharacter in an effort to figure out who the true parents are. Spoiler alert: the fake crawl says that Boba Fett and Captain Phasma are Rey’s real parents. There’s plenty of more to check out in the hilarious fake crawl.
While theStar Wars9 crawl is fake, it does bring up someinteresting questions of where J.J. Abrams will take the movie. Some of this might actually end up getting addressed, except for the Porg piloting an X-Wing Fighter, that probably won’t happen. We’ll probably see the return of Luke as a Force ghost and Rey’s parents might get explored a little bit more, but the Snoke bit would actually be pretty cool. you may check out the fake crawl forStar Wars9 over at Nerdist’s YouTube channel.
