Star Wars, Ep 9: How Bad Will It Be?

In watching a few youtube video's reviewing Episode 7 & 8, I got to thinking. Especially about the character development of the Mary Sue of this third trilogy (TT) compared to Luke. For a refresher:

EPISODE IV

1. Started off as a whiny teen.
2. Agreed to work one more year for his uncle but wanted to change that agreement.
3. Got his ass kicked by the sand people, needing to be rescued by Old Ben.
4. Was about to get killed in the bar when Old Ben took out his laser sword and cut off the murderers arm.
5. Was cocky about flying the ship but Old Ben was not ready to rely on an unproven commodity.
6. Had to be rescued by Leia in getting trapped in prison break.
7. Nearly killed by snake in dumpster.
8. Was about to be blown out of the sky by Lord Vader, until a pirate went against his selfish character.

EPISODE V

1. Couldn't tell danger from the Abominable Snow Monster while his Tawn-Tawn could.
2. Although he was able to escape from Abominable Snow Monster, he was about to die from exposure, when the pilate saved his ass for the 2nd time.
3. Disregarded the direction of 2 Jedi Master's in trying to save his friends from Vader & the Emperor. Gets his hand cut off.
4. Needs to be saved again by Leia.

EPISODE VI

1. Needs an android, R2D2 to help defeat a ganster.
2. Is literally getting electrocuted to death by the Emperor until his father comes to his sense and saves him.

By comparison, the Mary Sue has no character development, no flaws, no weaknesses. Perhaps it is Kylo who will evolve, being the Supreme Leader now. Franky, after the Last Straw (Jedi), I'm not sure where the story is going. So, what is your prediction of Episode 9?

Let's block ads! (Why?)
