Watch a table read of Star Wars: Episode X, as written by A.I.
Being as The Rise of Skywalker is not a great film, it begs the question: Could anything have been done to salvage Episode IX’s storyline? Sure, probably. But, unlike Disney and J.J. Abrams, we can’t keep dwelling on the past for ideas, and must instead cast our gaze resolutely towards the future: the inevitable, unnecessary greenlight of an Episode X, if not an entirely new Skywalker-related trilogy.
Look, we’ve been burned enough by humans during this franchise, so if we have to go through all this disappointment again, let’s put the onus on faulty A.I. algorithms instead of people. At least then we won’t have to take the death threats as seriously. The folks behind the all-things-Star-Wars YouTube channel Blue Bantha Milk Co. seem to share our opinion on the matter, and recently embarked on the impressive project of training a text-generation A.I. program to write-up a complete Episode X script.
