Happy early birthday. Too bad Disney declared Galaxy's Edge a "No fun allowed" zone. In other words, no cosplaying, and no running around with lightsabers among several "no's." Reports say that fans aren't even allowed to keep lightsabers that they pay $200 to construct. Galaxy's Edge from all reports is essentially a ghost town now. Enjoy.

Welcome to Disney's Star Wars, CoGro.

Interesting. Remember how I sarcastically said that Palpatine would survive his fall? I didn't think it would be literal.

I can't imagine how or why Paxis would have that much detailed information about the film.
He knows edits?
Crazy if true.

I'm very curious to find out people's reactions to two particular points in these leaks.
If they are true, then:

- The last dialogue of the last of the Skywalker bloodline and hero family of the 9 movies will be something like "Wilhelm Scream" as Kylo falls down a bottomless pit.
- A Palpatine (Rey) will ultimately usurp the Skywalker name and legacy by taking it on as her own.

Provided this is true (and frankly, with the additional photo leaks that happened, i'm starting to lean towards yes), how do you feel about it?

Another rumour is that that they've shot 6 different endings, and Kylo dies in each one.
Do you guys think it's necessary that he die, or is there any way that he could/should live?

The fact that Ben dies heroically after falling so far to the Dark Side seems like an okay ending for his character.
Rey taking the Skywalker name is a win for the Jedi and loss for the Sith.

So, that seems okay to me as well.

The Skywalker's have a complicated history.
Why should they get a straightforward ending?

Meanwhile at Disney:

"Everything is proceeding according to MY design.
It was I who allowed Paxis to leak this plot.
Your friends at the theater on December 20th are walking into a trap.
Oh I'm afraid the movie they'll see will be something entirely different when they arrive."

Nah... It's probably legit at this point.
Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by sheer incompetence.

It does invalidate Anakin's arch a bit as it turns out he didn't fully restore balance to the Force (as prophesied). If Rey is the one who finishes Palpatine, the new ending is that Anakin fell and then set things on the right path so Rey could complete the job. This new ending isn't as dramatically satisfying as the old ending where Anakin enables evil and then sacrifices himself to destroy the evil he enabled.

The Vader arc was great and unexpected at the time... I think this cheapens that a good bit.

Setting up Thrawn as the main antagonist in Episodes X-XII

I have foreseen it

Set 10 years after the events of TROS

Rey
Ezra
Ashoka
Sabine
The Chiss

Dave Filoni in the directors chair

Sign me up

Ezra Bridger?

That's assuming Ezra = Snoke. That's my own personal theory, but I won't be surprised or disappointed if/when that turns out to be false.

Filoni be damned. I'm with 'Snatch!

Hey Echu, I read that link and Filoni does not deny Ezra is Snoke.
He does not confirm either. "I see what you did there. You threw a curve ball. Good try!" to quote our beloved Filoni.

I think it was very telling that Hayden was at Celebration.
Just like Ian.

... and ... Ahmed!
Meesa so excited for episoden nine-ah! Oh mooie mooie!

Well, Chuta - except we do see his helmet.
And Kylo talks to him, and he is referenced a few times by Rey and Snoke.

So ... nobody is ever really gone?

That's a good point - Anakin/Vader is there influencing even if his actual presence isn't.

very interesting reading through this thread again. JediPaxis had basically seen the whole movie and spoiled this bitch way back in Sept. wonder who he was and how he had such access to the whole plot... ?
