I hope that isn't true, seems so fucking boring.Almost everyone's guesses about Episode VII were wrong except one person on Reddit LouEvil. His speculation and spoilers were spot on, including Ren being Solo's son and killing him in the Third Act. If there's anyone to trust, it would be him because supposedly he's connected someway to the production team.
These are his episode VIII spoilers.logo copy 15
Luke knows who Ren is. She's Anakin. She's the force. She's there to correct the wrongs. Luke wasn't searching for the first temple, he was searching for clues as to how this process works. Luke is related to Rey, but Luke says to her,"You are my father."
Pablo Hidalgo also confirmed that Rey will face a much stronger struggle to resist the Dark Side than Ren. Snoke also knows her power, the history, and wanted her to kill Ren on the planet so that she would turn. It doesn't stop there, and it's going to be a battle over the Chosen One's fate.
To put it simply: a chosen one pops up in the universe when there's a disturbance in the Force. First it was Anakin, now it's Rey, which is why they were both so skilled. It also explains why Luke is reluctant to train her, as children of the Force have more power but also find it harder to control, and he doesn't want to be responsible for a second Vader. But that means Rey is the reincarnation of Anakin, and basically Luke's dad.
Apparently she may have been a survivor of the attack on the Jedi Academy as someone else theorized. I personally love this angle, because I loved Neo in the Matrix and every other movie with ultra powerful Avatars brought back to right wrongs. The Chosen One can't end with Anakin, that would be so lame. It would've worked if the Empire was vanquished and the Jedi recovered post VI, but neither of those happened. The Light Side is in a real bad way right now and they need some serious help.
Well then I think we need to rethink our K-12 educational system and instead have kids scavenge from junkyards all day long to feed themselves and it will turn them into verifiable Einsteins capable of jumping into military aircraft, fixing any vehicle, and even knowing about Gavinrad's chronic case of Hemorrhoids from stressing so much over my posts.I hope that isn't true, seems so fucking boring.
I've been feeding them to the mouse scroll wheel but I did read some of the article he linked and the associated reddit post.You guys actually read those aspie walls of text?
Plagueis would have been this Supreme Intellect and it's unlikely all of GL's idea's were scrapped as he was a consultant and was asked for his treatments for VII-IX.Back in 1983, Return of the Jedi director Richard Marquand spoke about the future of Star Wars in an intriguing interview with Prevue magazine in 1983. It was already clear even then that Lucasfilm would eventually make prequels (referred to as preludes back then in several interviews), and yes, a third trilogy to conclude the story with Episode IX.
?If you follow the direction, and project into the final trilogy, you realise that you?re going to meet the supreme intellect, and you think how is it possible to create a man who has such profound cunning that he can not only control Darth Vader, but the fate of Luke Skywalker? Control the destiny of the whole galaxy? You?ll be amazed!?
Even in the ?80s, Lucas had envisioned there being another player behind-the-scenes of original trilogy story who had been in control the whole time. It was therefore this that Lucas had build into the prequels to eventually touch on later when he first started working on Episode VII.
When Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, they were initially working with George Lucas still to keep him available as a consultant. Lucas had treatments already made for Episodes VII, VIII, and IX (potentially even X, XI, and XII) that he gave to Disney but his ideas were at least partly scrapped and he ended up having nothing to do with the production of The Force Awakens or its frequently evolving script.
It's ok to be a nerd with conceits. For example, I would like to see Thrawn as the chief bad guy, and I would like to see Nathan Fillion as the new scoundrel. Eh, what am I saying...I want Firefly and not Star Wars anymore.Not really a nerd, but I do like Star Wars and I'm intrigued by the creative direction they'll take with the film...
Well this is definitely worth a view.Star Wars Theory | Snoke's Identity CONFIRMED?! - Jon Solo | AlloCine.ClubConsidering how pissy Lucas was when TFA came out about them not using his ideas I'd say it's a good bet they were largely ignored.
Really? REALLY?The prequels were not as terrible as you make them out to be...
...the way that Anakin was slowly corrupted was brilliant and so were many of the ideas.
We know all this, but why does Palpatine, a man who apparently murdered Plagueis, speak so fondly of him? He recounts Plagueis' murder as a 'tragedy' and even enables him the title 'The Wise'. Is this all just a way to seduce Anakin to the Dark Side? Or is it something even darker?
During Palpatine's attempted arrest by the Jedi Council led by Jedi Master Mace Windu, Palpatine is injured by his own Force Lightning ability when it's plasma beams are reflected by Windu's lightsaber. Despite this, he seems rather untroubled by the idea that he is now a living nightmare of a man. Its as if, despite being a Sith and fueled by passion and mortal possession, he doesn't care about his own body. During his conversation with Anakin in the following scene, his eyes and voice change many times, rather drastically, something that is not seen again in the entire saga.
Explains why he killed Han in the manner he did, but Ren/Luke/Han being in on a plan is... really out there. But Star Wars characters have lied before. I really don't know about the Kylo part, that's a little too crazy.Throughout the Star Wars Saga, the Sith Lords have taken to naming themselves after certain aspects of their personality. Darth Sidious causes gradual decay to the Republic and those around him over time. Darth Maul is savage and brutal and prefers to, ahem, Maul his opponents. Darth Vader, when pronounced in German (actually Dutch), literally translates to Darth Father. Darth Tyranus is a tyrant of the Separatist movement. Why would the same not apply to Darth Plagueis?
Darth Plagueis did solve the problem of Immortality, and has been jumping from body to body for however long, lying to his apprentices to lure them to the Dark Side to be ideal hosts for his Dark spirit, which has become a parasitic life-form draining from the force, a Plague.
Once Anakin's more powerful (light-side) spirit had fully left his body, Plagueis took possession of it on Endor out of sheer desperation to remain alive.
This I don't know about but is interesting:
This is where Kylo Ren comes in. As other theories state, Kylo may be a sort of 'Double Agent' for the Jedi, convincingly feigning his intentions to get close to Snoke/Plagueis. Then, when Plagueis is cornered and has no other body to possess, he will be wiped from the Universe, and the Force will finally be balanced. 'I will finish what you started.'
Or it was an intentional design decision as a conceptual throwback to the first trilogyThat's one hell of a fucking coincidence
