The idea of 6 people stealing a Star Destroyer makes me feel good for my future Star Wars RPG plans of having a group steal an old Venator
I have been working on a eoe beat where they steal a imp ship and I looked at the crew for a imp star deuce and it is 2500 thousand minimal
I guess they have to make friends
The only way Kylo actually knowing what happened to Rey's parents makes any kind of sense is if he did it.
I don't really agree. And I think having Kylo doing it makes the situation contrived and makes the galaxy feel small. Not quite to the extent of Palpatine being Rey's grandpappy but still not great

Yeah, it's a ridiculous number of people
My solution was to start with "what if there was an AI captain commanding a bunch of droid crew members" and working backwards from there
And that's how I ended up with a backwater Imperial governor played by John Goodman who had stolen from droid pirates purchased an old Venator and turned it into a fancy hotel ship called "The Throwback"
They almost set up a better ending scene in the movie
When she's on JakkuTatooineJedha Burning Man planet and someone asks for her name and she sadly goes "Just Rey."
Just mirror that scene at the end somewhere, but this time when she says "Just Rey", she says it with more acceptance! Because she's grown to believe in herself without the need to be "someone"
Wait, are people upset she is a palpatine? I thought that was a fun twist there. I really don't care for anyone's reason for not liking it, i'm just surprised that's a sticking point. It seemed perfectly straightforward as soon as it was said and the backfill around it seemed more than workable.

the raider corvette might be a good fit, though less impressive it's a pretty fun design

It’s stupid.
Edit: Not upset at it. It’s just pointless. Like bringing back Palpatine at all. It feels like there were better options not taken.

People are upset because it's another case of a destined family of destiny being the only important ones, after TLJ was pretty explicit about repudiating that

This is my exact plan B, find a slightly smaller ship that's a little more reasonable for some players/NPCs to be able to crew
Palpatine being in this trilogy is just a bad idea
I was onboard with the theory when the movie was announced, where he was just going to be a spooky ghost around the Death Star
But making him retroactively the main bad guy in this trilogy means that basically nothing about Darth Vader's story actually mattered, which sucks shit
That being said it was almost worth it for weird, horror-movie-monster-being-carried-around-by-a-crane-ass Palpatine and his cultists

I mean the core stories are literally the Skywalker saga. They're entirely about lineage. Like most stories about knights. The idea that lineage isn't important in a series where we've been following the exact same family from beginning to end for like almost 50 years of real life, and like 90 to 100 years of in movie time seems kinda far fetched.

Palpy being a papa and not dead just creates more narrative problems than it solves really

If TLJ didn't exist, I'd agree
But that entire movie is about refuting the idea that every story needs to be about people from powerful families, and following it up with "actually, no, you do need to be Someone" made a lot of folks, myself included, extremely disappointed
Rey not being part of an important family doesn't make it not the Skywalker Saga
Kylo is a Skywalker
Having the Saga end with the last Skywalker fallen to Darkness and a new era of Jedi not bound by legacies would be
Pretty fuckin good

Anyways this script would probably have to be entirely rewritten if Trevvorow stuck around anyways. And there's a million more steps before a movie ends up good.

well technically since Rey was all the Jedis not only did he see Ben he had a sick deathbed makeout session

An even better conclusion would be something like "I am Rey, daughter of no one, and I have destroyed the grandson of Vader" or whatever.

I just really like the Venator
"They sold you to protect you" :?

They've started walking that back
Which sucks, because it was existentially freaky in a way I was into

But big sith monster god man sounds dope
Well if palpatine made rey then rey would be ben's grand aunt rather than his first cousin once removed
I'm telling ya'll
End IX with Rey finally deciding to call her version of the Jedi "the Skywalkers"
It's a great way to secure their legacy in a way that isn't extraordinarily cheesy
