Overwhelmingly, this feeling became the critical consensus of the Duel of the Fates script, too. How do you end up with the actual release of The Snyder Cut without this pervasive phenomenon? And yet, this tendency continues in all sorts of fan circles. Often, that reaction is: The unmade thing would have been “better than what we got.” In some cases, this automatic bias results in one-sided documentaries. In various fandom circles, there’s a knee-jerk reaction to details about unmade versions of big sci-fi fantasy movies. Kylo Ren blinds Rey, taken straight from the Trevorrow and Connelly script for Duel of the Fates. Just a vicious villain.īy the end of this script, Rey Solana (not Palpatine!) is fully healed by the Force, but as Dom Nero of Esquire pointed out back in 2020, the thing that sticks out the most in Duel of the Fates is “the bad guys win a lot in this script.” And when you see Winegarner’s take on these scenes - lifted straight from the leaked script - it’s powerful and brutally shocking. No good boy Ben Solo sweater, no Ben Solo challenge, no Rey/Kylo kiss.
The Duel of the Fates version of Kylo Ren is a brutal monster who mutilates the sequel trilogy’s hero. As the script notes: “Rey looks up crying blood. Just how dark? As the comic’s art showcases, it would have featured a scene in which Kylo Ren slices Rey in the face with a lightsaber, and blinds her. That said, seeing the entire story of Duel of the Fates rendered this way does force us to confront one very important truth: This story was going to be dark. ( Check it all out here.) Although he hasn't released all of his fan-made comics adaptation, and much of it remains uncolored, what we can see is impressive - most impressive. The result of Winegarner’s labor is super-compelling. ( Infinities was an early-aughts project from Dark Horse Comics that imagined “What If?” alternate Star Wars timelines.) For nearly a year, Winegarner has been working on a professional-looking comic book adaptation of Duel of the Fates, which he initially described as a kind of “Infinities” take on the unfilmed script. The version of the Duel of the Fates script that leaked in January 2020 featured several huge differences between what we saw on screen in The Rise of Skywalker, including a Poe/Rey romance, a much bigger role for Leia, a return to Courscant, and, most chillingly, an utterly unredeemed Kylo Ren.įollowing an amusing fan-made animated version of the script that popped-up last year, an impressively epic fan-made comic version of Duel of the Fates has just been released by the aforementioned Winegarner.
