How 'bout them hawks news huh!
Rewatched TLJ recently. Only things that really bothered me were flying Leia (not the worst idea but it looks real goofy) and the child actors at Casino-planet. Goddamn are them children bad, with or without lines.

The most recent spoiler/leak concerns a traitor in the First Order's ranks which is being described as "shocking" but which I would've thought was very obvious.

(It was also in the "Reylo love child" leak.)

Right. And there have been reports of leaked scenes of some characters having an audience with the Hutts. All this leads me to believe that the Reylo love child will probably be going ahead.

They were saying Leia was going to meet with a Hutt council in TFA since like 2014. More likely they were working on Jabbas for Solo 2 and now they are all buried in the desert in the ET video game hole

I can't believe we never got Jabba's backstory. Why introduce him and kill him immediately.

From what I remember those "reports" were awfully similar to some guy's fanfiction that was written like a year ago.

EXT: That Irish Planet -- Morning

REY gasps and sits up in her bed. LUKE sits nearby.

REY
I just had the the most awful nightmare. You were
a drunken jerkass and Leia flew through space for
some reason and Ben Solo was five feet wide if he
was an inch. And there was a casino planet, and
a salt planet...

Luke smiles knowingly.

LUKE
Just a bad dream kid. Now, how about some Jedi
training and also some homemade ice cream?

Matt Smith, Richard E. Grant and Dominic Monaghan are playing Fleegle, Bingo and Drooper, who used to be in a band with Snoke back in the 60s. They appear in a kind of Behind the Music pastiche scene where they reminisce about the time they supported the Max Rebo Band on tour.

Finally someone I can see eye to eye with.


The only thing that bothers me about the Leia pulling herself back scene is that in retrospect it was the best moment to write Carrie Fisher out. Whatever sendoff she will get next movie will probably be unsatisfying due to circumstances.

That seems kind of unfair, since no one knew she was going to die right after she finished filming her scenes...

New BRILLIANT fan theory: Kylo Ren will go to Naboo, use the Force to reverse time (after bringing Padme back to life) and then chat with Matt Smith who is playing Palpatine back before he got into politics and was second keyboardist in a garage band called the Palpatones (led by his handsomer, more talented elder brother, Withnail Palpatine played by Richard E. Grant) and waiting for his music career to take off.

More specifically, whenever someone used the force to pull poo poo towards them in other movies, they reach out. She's doing the same thing, but since she's in a zero gravity environment and the ship has greater mass than a lightsaber, she pulls herself towards it rather than pulling the ship around her.

Although the latter sounds pretty cool.

But I can see them wanting Leia alive for the final film rather than killing off both Luke and Leia in this one.
