#trevorrow script

Chancellor Hux

Inspired by Trevorrow’s script for Episode IX. Bow to your Chancellor. Bow to the First Order!

Look Disney is at fault for tossing out Trevorrow’s script, but Abrams is the one to write The Rise is Skywalker. He made those descions in the script that Disney agreeded to. It’s both Abrams and Disney’s fault for the mess that is The Rise of Skywalker.

J.J. Abrams has never been good at ending stories. He’s too obsessed with his mystery box to actually give the story a satisfactory conclusion. There is plenty of blame to go around, but putting it all on Kathleen Kennedy and the studio is just plain wrong.

I know it’s easy to put all the blame of a big studio interfering with an “artists vision”, but sometimes that vision isn’t that good to begin with.

Please watch this video breaking down Abram’s mystery box.

I don’t even know if this Colin Trevorrow script is real, but I can’t see why people think its automatically better. 

I mean, he ships Damerey and he has a 70s and 80s sexist view of women in media with male heroes. 

I was not even REMOTELY surprised, not even the slightest when he insisted RJ put in that Poe introducing himself to Rey with the “I know” comment [ugh].

Why? Because its such a male gaze fantasy relationship. Poe Dameron was always a 1 dimensional male insert hero straight outta the 80s in TFA. His character was intended to be killed off, as he was more of a trope than a character.

In TLJ, Rian Johnson gave him a character arc, and a good one. The the trope of the hero rebel that knows better than the authority was subverted [also a VERY 80s trope], thank god.

In TROS, he mostly is obnoxious, and given an unnecessary background with Zorii, but JJ avoided giving him the girl. JJ, is at least, more self-aware of old sexist tropes, though it feels very much like Disney wants us to know that Poe is straight, which was unnecessary. Hell, let people fancanon their Finnpoe, Disney. Oh well, shippers will fancanon him as bi which is all good.

Trevorrow has never, ever held such self-awareness, and his sexism has come through in his films time and time again.

The only thing good about this supposed script, if he wrote it, is Finn and Rose get better roles. The Force and balance are explored more.

However, Kylo Ren is 100% out of character in the film. He is a flat villain for most of the film, his character trait throughout TFA and TLJ of never wanting to hurt Rey, is scrapped. Kylo and Rey were always the heart of this trilogy, and turning Kylo into uber-bad villain, kill them all!, and even forgetting that Kylo killed Snoke in TLJ to stand on his own two feet and be his own leader, is scrapped as Kylo literally gets himself trained by some other, more powerful Sith user. At least TROS Kylo wants to kill Palpatine from the start--no more following old men for him.

And Damerey. Ugh. I have nothing against people that ship them. But I’m sure most women on this site could make a much better ship for them than what I know Trevorrow would dish out, and really, seeing Rey as the love-interest for 80s male self-insert Poe makes me gag. It is the most boring-ass ship in his hands and the most retrograde. I saw tons of these relationships in the 80s and early 90s and  the women end up just being male fantasy. 

Reylo is fascinating because enemies to lovers is fascinating, and most of all their relationship is a Force creation, supernatural, and a part of the Force itself. Boring-ass Poe and Rey offers absolutely fucking zero value to Star Wars and fiction itself. 

Totally! So Kylo and Hux met 5 years before TFA and then there’s 10 years between TFA/TLJ and Duel Of The Fates (DOTF) so let’s imagine that they’ve been married for 10 years! They’re still so in love with each other and each is the other’s best friend so they sometimes dress in casual clothing and go on secret dates & days out with each other to be a ‘normal’ couple where their lives aren’t surrounded by politicans. They want to be Armitage & Kylo sometimes, not Chancellor Hux & Supreme Leader Ren. They need space to be a married couple!

Honestly. I would have much preferred that ending for him instead of becoming a spy and being shot by Pryde. At least he would have ascended to a position of high power before the FO is inevitably taken down by the rebels.
