The Cancelled STAR WARS Episode 9 Animated

Before JJ Abrams came on board for Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Collin Trevorrow was slated to direct his own version, Duel Of The Fates. Vastly different to the Episode 9 that we ended up with it included no Emperor Palpatine, his Master Tor Vallum (using concepts from a cut character from the JJ version) more Rise Tico and General Leia, a double sided lightsaber for Rey, Kylo Ren as the main protagonist and about the same amount of the Knights Of Ren we actually got. There’s also a Finn Stormtrooper uprising plot that unfortunately I cut due to time and money constraints. And please check out Ethan who lovingly animated this at / ethataylo and thanks for watching.

The Poe/Rey romance is REALLY out of nowhere. Trevorrow seems to love that awful trope where you have the buttoned-up, no-nonsense woman and the laid-back, roguish, rule-breaking man, and they are constantly bickering with each other but also have the hots for each other. If you read the whole Trevorrow treatment the Poe/Rey relationship is basically a beat for beat rehash of Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard in Jurassic World.

Had they constructed the last film to actually focus on the middle ground, whether they used the Grey Jedi or whatever else, that would've honestly allowed me to forgive a lot of the nonsense that this trilogy shoved down our throats. That could've at least allowed them to genuinely bill this as the final film of the saga, with true balance being brought to the Force.

Two movies explored it one didn't make any big jumps but there's nothing saying oh never mind lol.

[@NightmareTroubador]

With what we've seen on the Dark Side of the Force the middle ground or Gray Jedi can't be a thing. The Dark Side corrupts and can't be balanced. I mean it's the Sith, the Dark Side that's all about killing people and causing problems for the galaxy. It's not right to just roll over let that happen. It's interesting in theory, but the way it's been explained that the Force works in canon it can't be a thing.

[@bruhmieter5688]

@@NightmareTroubador that's absolutely not how it's explained the Sith are evil because their order. The nightsisters use the dark side yet they're not inherently evil. This is not a theory and grey jedi are a stupid thing because the force was always said to be inherently neutral so people can bend anyway they want while being good. The Sith don't own the dark side and the jedi don't own the light. The way it's explained it could definitely work because as luke said the force doesn't belong to the jedi. The dark side isn't about killing people it's about emotion and passion things that have redeemed people before.

There is no logical reason for a Tuskan Raider to be walking around a First Order prison base, full of stormtroopers, by themself. Bare bones or not, why include that little detail of her disguise when it makes zero sense. I could go on, the whole script is full of bad ideas.

Don't pass judgment to early

[@CLUN_k]

@@craven1927 So after actually reading the script they're on a planet used by the first order for fueling and not a 'first order prison base'. This planet is full of migrant aliens all of which are poor and starving. The script describes quite a few different species so its not too farfetched to see a tusken raider there. You also need to note that this is an early script, a lot of these issues may have been tweaked later on down the line. Regardless, even if that was the case and Rey was on a First Order prison base, she has every reason to be in disguise, Kylo Ren is hunting her, he wants her dead. If she's going to save her friends (people she has pointed out time and time again, and even further so in this script, that she loves and cares for) and assuming the only way to get to them is to be imprisoned herself, why wouldn't she disguise herself? She's literally walking into enemy territory as one of the most wanted people in the galaxy... If you want to talk about not understanding the source material than may I suggest actually reading the script first as you clearly just watched this video and assumed it was written word for word as it was in script.

Rather than being a literal prophet or a fated hero like the two precedent trilogies, she's basically nobody. It's fitting tor star wars, to know that a strong force user could come from anywhere. She uses a double bladed lightsaber using the remnants of Luke's saber, not only following with the consequences of it braking in the last movie, but also making sense for her fighting form as she's used a stick before using a lightsaber. I love the fact she ends up blind; much like Luke and Anakin, she endure physical dismemberment and definitely isn't a Mary sue here. Kylo is the vilain here and he's actually threatening like the previous movie set him up to be, rather than relegated to just a side vilain again like in ROS (and THANK GOD palpatine doesn't somehow return). And he has a redemption too at the end, hinted at throughout the script (though I don't know how it would have been executed). Plus, Tor Vallum isn't palpatine's master. The script says he's the master of Plagueis. Finn finally getting to do something by rallying everyone to his side is amazing and a great sendoff to his character. Other stuff I think would have been cool is the way they manage to send the message through the galaxy by using coruscant, rather than... Somehow, managing to bring everyone back together. The Final fight happening on mortis is thematically accurate, Luke ACTUALLY haunts Ben like he said he would, Rose doesn't cease to exist all together, the knights of Ren becoming a bit more important and essential to Ray's character and R2 telling the entire story of star wars, as a reward for him being there at all times.

Don't forget that this was just the first draft. It's entirely possible that some of the dumber elements would've been changed or removed from the final cut (which would've had to be very different anyway due to Carrie Fisher's death).

For something that was whipped up in a relatively short time, this looks awesome! Way better than a lot of the shitty animation I've been seeing on cartoon network lately! Great stuff.

[@titanguy7316]

Love the art style reminiscent of the Switch-remade “Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening.”

[@C4Matu]

But wait... where is the whole "REYYYYYY!" part from Finn?

[@SethRGray]

Rey learning to balance the light and the darkness would have been such an interesting story beat. That bit about the sith and jedi never really achieving peace because they'll always been fighting is spot on. If Rey and Ben had both lived, they could have learned to balance the two sides of the force, and finally bring a lasting peace. But nah, that would be too interesting.

[@shakky1512]

Except it is impossible to balance the Light and Dark. That's literally the point.

This Rey and poe thing doesn't work. The rest Sounds pretty good. I believe if they reworked the script a little bit this could have been a good movie.

Rey and Finn would make much more sense. Or even Poe and Finn (but of course Disney don't have balls to make that a thing).

I believe the script was written 2016 or so. Or so I was told it was. So yeah it was expected for it to be a little funky. Due not going through deep proof reading and such.

Its that kind of talk that ruined ep 8-9. “Little re work here” “Maybe we’ll change this to” “While were changing things” Then bam rise of skywalker is released

[@rubeng370]

When you showed her original concept art pictures, I just keep wishing we had something different. Rey with a black outfit like Luke and Anakin. A double sided lightsaber, maybe green or yellow. But not fixing Anakin's old lightsaber just to stay away from creating a new one. Imagine if Disney actually released that version :)

None of that sounds appealing

Rey wore her costume bc they had to use footage filmed with Carrie Fisher during TFA. Sucks, but they had to work with what they had after she died.

[@ChangedMyNameFinally69]

@@Big_Dai Why not? Her merging Luke and Leia's lightsabers as a double-bladed would work well on a thematic level

Not perfect, but it would've been worlds better than the Episode IX we actually got.
