再见了,天行者
1.JJ在滚石的采访中谈EP9,EP9将会是天行者家族故事的终结,EP9会做出一个令人满意的总结,当然,这不代表星球大战的故事就完结了,迪士尼已经宣布了一个新的星球大战三部曲,将由莱恩约翰逊来执导。
JJ提到,整个天行者家族的故事由EP1的阿纳金开始,他被认定为是能给原力带来平衡的预言之子,但他并不是,他成为了达斯维达,直到牺牲之前他一直是作为反派存在。卢克也并不是那个能给原力带来平衡的人,他选择了再次延续绝地教团,这是一种矫枉过正,并不是平衡。这就是蕾伊进入这个故事的原因,蕾伊或许是那个既不是绝地也不是西斯而最终能实现我们一直想要的平衡的人。
The idea that the core Star Wars series will end with its2019installment comes from Episode IX director J.J. Abrams himself, who told Rolling Stone “I do see it that way,” when asked if the movie will complete the Skywalker Saga. (He did add, “But the future is in flux,” however.)
With that in mind, it’s worth considering what the Skywalker Saga actually is, and speculating on what The Last Jedi and Episode IX will have to do to bring the story to a satisfying conclusion. Obviously, Episode IX won’t bring any kind of permanent finale to the eponymous space skirmishes that have been the backdrop to the story so far — Disney has already announced an all-new trilogy from Rian Johnson, just to underscore that point — but the core Star Wars series has never really been about that, anyway. So what story is actually being told?
Well, it’s certainly a family story, as if the “Skywalker Saga” name didn’t give that away. Although Luke is a large part of The Last Jedi, if we view the core series purely as a generational narrative, it raises the odds that Rey is going to be revealed to be a Skywalker of some kind … unless the current trilogy turns out to be more about Kylo Ren — the grandson of Anakin Skywalker, remember. Based on Force Awakens, however, Rey is the central character of the core trilogy, and therefore almost certainly a Skywalker of some stripe if the story is only about family.
Except, of course, the Skywalker Saga is about more than just the Skywalkers. There’s a promise made in Episode I: The Phantom Menace that goes unfulfilled to this day — the notion of someone bringing “balance to the Force.” Anakin was believed to be that person, but he clearly wasn’t, because he became Darth Vader and was quite clearly a bad guy up until his final sacrifice to save his family. Luke, too, isn’t that figure, because he’s purposefully aligned himself with the good guys and dedicated himself to rebuilding the Jedi Order; he’s overcorrection, not balance.
This, then, is where Rey comes in. The first teaser for The Last Jedi laid the groundwork for this, with Luke telling her (and the audience) that it’s time for the Jedi to end, with the first trailer doubling down with teases that Rey is unusually powerful and might reject the Jedi Order. In doing that last thing, Rey might become a Force user who is neither Jedi nor Sith, and finally personify the Balance the series has promised all along.
Daisy Ridley has hinted at this herself, telling Good Morning America, “Rey is trying to find out about herself and about the universe. And those questions don't entirely fall to the good, nor do they entirely fall to the bad. She's trying to do her own sort of personal growth.”
Rey, then, could be the key to a thread that been at the core of the Skywalker Saga all along, but never properly addressed. Even more important than her heritage — although, come on, she’s probably a Skywalker somehow; maybe Anakin’s mother had another child after he left Tatooine or something — she could be the character the story has been looking for all along.
2.翻译: “星球大战”的核心系列将以2019年的剧集结束,这一想法来自第九集导演J.J。当被问到这部电影是否会完成天行者传奇时,艾布拉姆斯自己告诉“滚石”:“我确实是这样看的。”。(他的确补充说,“但未来是不定的,”)
考虑到这一点,值得考虑的是天行者传奇到底是什么,并猜测“最后的绝地武士”和“第九集”必须做些什么才能让故事得到令人满意的结局。显然,第九集不会给这个故事背景的同名太空冲突带来任何永久的结局--迪斯尼已经宣布了来自Rian Johnson的全新三部曲。只是为了强调这一点,但核心星球大战系列从来没有真正围绕这一点,无论如何。那么到底是在讲什么故事呢?
当然,这是一个家庭故事,好像“天行者传奇”这个名字并没有透露出来。虽然卢克是“最后的绝地”的一大部分,但如果我们把核心系列纯粹看作是一种代际叙事的话。这增加了雷伊被揭露为某种天行者的可能性……除非目前的三部曲更多地是关于安纳金天行者的孙子任凯洛,请记住。然而,基于“原力觉醒”,雷伊是核心三部曲的核心人物,因此,如果这个故事只是关于家庭的话,他几乎可以肯定是一个有条纹的天行者。
当然,天行者传奇不仅仅是关于天行者的。在第一集中有一个承诺:幽灵的威胁,直到今天还没有实现--有人给原力带来平衡的想法。阿纳金被认为是那个人,但他显然不是,因为他成为达斯维德,很明显是一个坏人,直到他最后的牺牲,以拯救他的家人。卢克也不是这样的人物,因为他有意与好人结盟,致力于重建绝地武士团;他是过度修正,而不是平衡。
这就是雷进来的地方。“最后一位绝地”的第一位挑逗者为此奠定了基础,卢克告诉她(以及观众),绝地武士该结束了,第一部预告片用戏谑的方式复述,雷伊异乎寻常的强大,可能会拒绝绝地武士团。在做最后一件事时,雷伊可能成为原力使用者,既不是绝地,也不是西斯,最终体现了这个系列一直承诺的平衡。
黛西·里德利本人就暗示了这一点,她告诉“早安美国”,“雷伊想要了解她自己和宇宙。这些问题并不完全是好事,也不完全是坏事。她正在努力做自己的个人成长。“
因此,雷伊可能是线索的关键,这条线索一直是天行者传奇的核心,但从来没有得到正确的解决。甚至比她的传统更重要的是--尽管,拜托,她可能是天行者;也许阿纳金的母亲在他离开塔图因之后又生了一个孩子,或者什么的--她可能就是故事一直在寻找的那个角色。
