What Episode IX Won't be

Episode IX will not be 2-2.5 hours of exposition, flashback scenes and backstory of explaining how and why things are the way they are in the Sequel Trilogy.Maybe I have been spending too much time on r/starwarsspeculation but every other IX pitch I see always includes something regarding explaining the gap between VI and VII, or explaining Snoke (These ones are the worst) or explaining every other mystery/ question raised thus far.I see posts like this here on this sub too as if Star Wars films are nothing more then just vessels of information to be shoved down the audiences throat. The prequels did that and now it has become a bizarre expectation from the audience that the ST will just explain things as part of a checklist. I guess the EU (Old and New) didn't help with this either now that I think about it.The anthology films certainly don't help with this either as so far Rogue One and Solo are designed around checklist ticking of answering trivial stuff that the General Audience may or may not care about.Do we really need a lengthy explantation as to why Leia can use the force? Or could we just use some imagination and come to a logical conclusion?No we need the movie to stop in it's tracks and talk down to the audience in a condescending fashion and explain why this was possible. /sIt is where I sometimes get annoyed when some folks go on about WORLD BUILDING in the ST and saying how it is being the be all and end all for what makes a Star Wars film good or not. Yes I think the ST needs some more but don't shove a bible's worth of exposition down out throats just so we can answer a vague clue on next weeks crossword puzzle as to what planet Snoke came from.Now I am not saying their won't be any exposition at all, we don't know yet, the movie is currently filming and won't be here until December 2019. For all I know, it could very well explain a number of things but I doubt we will get too too much.Nor am I saying that those asking for explanations are in the wrong, I myself have asked those questions and I am sure they will be answered in some capacity in the future.This idea that Episode IX will exist simply to explain stuff we want explained to us is a bit non-sense I feel. IX has a story to tell and will spring board off of what VII and VIII have done and bring this trilogy and maybe even the Skywalker Story to an end. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/2MC85r4
