So pumped for this. I hope J.J. made a big “f*** you” to Rian and all of his mistakes.

Out of all the old EU stories to get ideas from, I wasn't expecting Dark Empire.

All we need now is a Young Jedi Prince homage, complete with Space Wales and Moffrences and we'll be set.

Don't forget Palpatine's secret son with 3 eyes!

Intrigued. Does look like they're retconning quite a bit from Last Jedi--which I really liked, but am cool either way--even more clear this is Rey's story. Guess they'll say Kylo was just lying about the nobody thing.

LANDO!

[DiBiase is Good]

I’m fine with them killing off any character in this one.
BUT
If they harm one hair on Chewbacca’s body, I will hunt down the writers!

I mean that's how I always read it... with the way the the scene was framed.

since Kylo was trying to make Rey think like she had nobody and the only person that could help her was him.

I swear if they bring up Look the evil clone made from Luke's hand I think I might walk out of the theater >_>

I've forever argued that Chewie and R2D2 are the perfect characters for a franchise. It's impossible for them to say stupid lines, they are not bound to an actor and they are likable.

[EyeofTyr]

I'm hyped, but I'm real nervous about that cackle.

That'll either be the thing that makes this movie or plunges it into prequel levels absurdity, depending on how they explain this.

I can’t f***ing wait!
My lightsaber is on full blast

That's how I always saw it, too. I mean, it could be true, but I always thought it was Ben tapping into Rey's deepest insecurities and taunting her with them.

Yeah, it can definitely work that way. He IS the villain. I think people took it too literally and got pissed.

I will admit I liked the idea of her not being a Skywalker--Solo etc

Star Wars fans are battered spouses. Why else would they stay with a franchise that gave them the Special Editions, the prequels, and Last Jedi?

[DiBiase is Good]

Forget Avengers, forget Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, even forget Toy Story 4. This is the must see film of 2019.

[Mighty Attack Tribble]

Much as I love Ian McDiarmid, if they pull a "it was Palpatine's doing all along" I'll roll my eyes so hard they'll burrow their way into my brain.

Because not all of us hate The Last Jedi?

Yeah, I can totally see Jay from RedLetterMedia going "Remember the Emperor? Remember Lando? Remember when Luke wasn't a titty milk drinking a-hole?"


Still if this retcons TLJ I'll be happy to pay my 11 bucks.

[Feargus McReddit]

Look.

Like Last Jedi or don’t...it’s not getting retconned. The thing made a BILLION DOLLARS. It’s debuting on Disney+ when that kicks off. Might there be changes? Maybe, I don’t know but a tonne of them? No way because, again, BILLION DOLLARS.

as I said I hope they don't pull that she was actually Steve Skywalker's daughter... type thing.

but like I said I took the scene to be "your parents are nobody and you don't belong anywhere but with me"

[Hit Girl]

Lando, Chewie, R2 and C3PO should all survive.
