what's going on guys today we're gonna cover something pretty interesting from
the rise of Skywalker novelization this is a scene that I think would have
although unnecessary for the film and you know just would have made the film
so much longer but I feel like it just would have been pretty cool to see this
is a scene on Mustapha and if you didn't know that very beginning shot of that
planet and where kylo is on I think it was maybe like a thirty second scene at
most where kylo has taken out some of those people with his lightsaber and
then you don't gets the wayfinder that's actually on Mustafar and the remnants
around him are Vader's castle now the book goes into much greater detail
regarding that scene and it gives you almost like a Witcher kind of feel it
gives you this mysticism in there which ties into Vader and what he left for
whoever would find the way find her it's really cool it's this might be a longer
video it's about two three pages and I'm excited to get oh but before I forget
you guys ordered like sold out on these babies so I'm gonna be making the hats
so stay tuned for that all right now that shameless plug is out of the way
let's get started okay so we're starting and by the way on that scene I should
also mention there a few pages where a general Pride and Huck's are watching
from safety and they're just kind of enamored with how kylo Ren moves and
there's talking about how he's just like just this beautiful creature that's just
like just killing everyone and it was pretty cool how they describe how he
moves at this cape billowing and all that stuff and the glowing lava around
him so let's get to it kylo Ren showed mercy to nothing and no
one but he had a grudging appreciation for things that struggle to survive even
though the nearest lava flow was many klicks away it seemed as though the air
ought to be too hot to chemical for life to truly thrive there as they'd landed
Huck's had proclaimed the planet a desolate hellscape and kylo hadn't
bothered to correct him the truth was Mustafar was teeming with life all
connected through the force like those helpless cultists he just killed who had
been obsessed with protecting Vader's legacy
this is a little confusing to me because in the visual guide it says unless I'm
mistaken which I very well might be those people that he killed were miners
that were coming to mr. foreign mining the planet but now it says that the
people he killed were those that were cultists that were just protecting
Vader's legacy which actually makes much more sense so I probably misread that
part anyways so now we know that who they were or this forest of twisted iron
trees they endeavor to cultivate see so it might have been indeed okay they
might have been miners or even the extremophiles that swarm the lava flows
all fragile but determined mutilated but indomitable it was no wonder his
grandfather had chosen this place for a home carlo strode through the trees
lightsabre still ignited malevolence lay ahead along with a darkness that had
nothing to do with the planet's day/night cycle but that's not why he
kept his weapon ready he refused to put it away because for the briefest moment
as he was hacking away Mustafar Ian's he had sensed her watching him now his
guard was up and it would stay up until he got what he came for by silent mutual
agreement the storm troopers who'd accompanied him had declined to follow
him through the woods which suited him fine he preferred to be alone for this a
few more steps and the ground became soggy the mist thickened a small splash
indicated that his presence had been noticed finally the trees broke open
into a small lake with brackish water bordered on all sides by forests and
large black lumps like boulders jutting out of the ground at odd angles
no not boulders he noted upon closer look but rather fallen remnants of Darth
Vader's castle an oily film slicked across the lake still surface but as
kylo approached the water bubbled up in the centre sending tiny waves to lap at
his boots a giant emerged a hairless creature shining with wetness bits of
Lake d'etre 'test clinging to its pasty skin its eyes were squeezed shut but it
could still see after a fact because draped over its massive bald
head and across one shoulder was a second creature with lungs spidery
tentacles it sounds like a disgusting creature man is freaky the two were
locked in symbiosis Kyllo cents the giant's pain as though were a slave to
the spidery being that clung to it yet neither could yet neither could it
survive alone the spider creature spoke I am the eye
of webOS bog I know what you seek you will give it to me
kylo said the I cocked its head making an eerie squealing noise it took a
moment for kylo to realize the creature was laughing at him no need for that the
I said do you really think my lord would have left it in the guardianship of one
who could be swayed by a trick of the force
no he suppose not you've been seeking for it for a while yes I must warn you
how far a planet burns in a way deception if you proceed down this path
you will encounter your true self Kyla was growing impatient he glared in
silence fine said the creature as though disappointed
that Kyla would not indulge him in ceremony in accordance with Lord Vader's
wishes you have defeated my protectors and earned it
his wayfinder the blind giant beneath the eye raised its enormous hand from
the water and point toward a small island in the lake on it was a stone
structure like an altar Kyla turned off his lightsaber and hooked it
to his belt he wadded into the shallow lake soaking his boots and cloak the
water was warm and the ground beneath the water a sludge that sucked at his
feet he ignored it all reaching for a pyramidal object it fits satisfyingly in
his hand heavy and hot and he stared at it a moment lost in its red glow the
sides were etched glass framed in deep gray resin the crimson light within
seemed to pulse faintly Wren had come a long way for this and yet he hesitated
eyeing the pyramid with distrust it will guide you through the Unknown
Regions the I said to the hidden world of X ago to him whoever he was the
transmission perpetrating to be from Palpatine had reached the far corners of
the galaxy kylo had it memorized at last the work of generations is
complete the great error is corrected the day of victory is at hand the day of
revenge the day of this shit he wasn't sure what to believe about it but it was
a fair guess that Kyla wasn't the only one seeking answers others would follow
the same path and come to Mustafar sooner or later looking for this exact
object so surely his grandfather would have made it harder than this
those cultists were too easy to kill this creature too easy to convince then
again he was Vader's heir the object belonged to him now that he added up
close the etchings in the glass clarified into patterns star charts
alignment markers something stirred deep within him suggesting ancient knowledge
and power and he felt a rush of triumph it had all been worth it diverting ships
sending out spies tracing old records enduring the smug disapproval of that
idiot Hux all to find this Kyla looked up and was
startled to discover that the eye of webos bag was gone
slipped back beneath the surface of a lake so still it was as though nothing
lived within it at all so at this point Kyla just gets into he's almost
transfixed with the with the pyramid with the wayfinder and he doesn't
realize how long he's been standing there so he actually just gets into his
tie and gets out of there and then goes to X goal and it's pretty interesting
the different things that we get from his interaction with Palpatine as well
they're a bit more moments in there and it almost seems like when Palpatine
raises his hand and all the the Star Destroyers rise from the ice or from the
ground it's like kylos in a vision and it's
like a flash and it was actually outside watching all of
this so I thought that was pretty interesting as well and the beginning
where Ray's meditating that was actually the beginning of this book so we didn't
have the the beginning of mu stefarr which we've got in the movie this book
started with ray meditating and there was a lot more dialogue with Leia Leia
was basically saying control your thoughts you know clear your mind and
then the Jedi have passed we'll be able to speak to you so that whole part where
she's I be with me be with me be with me is actually a little bit after this
dialogue bit that was in the book and as she's just trying to commune with all of
them so she's trying to commune with I guess every single Jedi and she's trying
to talk to Luke and all that but you know it's unsuccessful until the very
end of the film we're all hope is lost and then all the Jedi come and speak to
her and it even says in the very end of the book that Palpatine had wanted to
use her as a vessel but she was a Jedi and she allowed the Jedi to use her as a
conduit so really her I I feel like that could have done maybe a bit of a better
job at showing this in the film you know by having the ghosts and stuff but
perhaps that would have taken away from the overall feeling between ray and
Palpatine just those two I think would've been cool but it does
explicitly say that they used her as a conduit so really it was the Jedi just
doing what Palpatine did with his clone body transferring his essence they did
the same thing in a Jedi way you know from the dead kind of so it's
interesting how they kind of do that in tandem in the light and dark way so
that's it I really wish that we got this bits in the movie I think it would have
been really cool to come like a videogame almost you know he sees this I
bought webos ball whatever the name of that creature was it's disgusting
looking horrifying creature and then the creature points to then the wayfinder
and it's just it's very mystic it's very cool three legends II and I like that
it's it's pretty sweet goes into this lake that's all like just slick black it
was sweet I liked it a lot yeah of course
you know there are things in the book where they can add a lot more than the
actual movie of course you don't have to worry about VFX or anything cuz your
brain creates it right your brain imagines it all up as you're reading the
page but still that being said I think it would have been cool I also want to
make sure there are no bits in here that I've left out regarding Anakin because I
really wish we did get a little more Anakin in the movie a little more I wish
we got some Anakin in the movie - besides you know his couple lines and
yeah there's also a scene I'm trying to think now that's I mentioned it before
that ray is sensing something someone next to Luke I believe but she doesn't
know who it is so I'm guessing that could maybe be Anakin but it never says
it's it's just doesn't even lude it's just like but she sensed someone else
there - anyways I'm gonna crack more into the book read it again and see what
stuff I can find for you guys I'm gonna talk about alright let me know what you
think of the scene I wish it was in there
I would love to maybe like go back and maybe make an animation of this scene I
think that would be pretty sweet alright have an awesome rest everyday
they were like if you enjoyed it and I'll see you in the next video until
then remember the force would be with you always
see you guys
