Made this in anticipation for the next film. New information, screenshots, trailers and potential leaks and rumors will be posted for discussion.

Also, whatever you guys do, don\'t let this thread get blocked as well.

Starting off, there\'s the apparent rumor of Luke being brought back to life...via time travel.

https://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/films/988910/Star-Wars-Last-Jedi-backlash-Luke-Skywalker-back-force-ghost-release-date-plot

That sounds like the most immature thought in \"solving\" the character.

Also, there\'s this Reddit thread from a leaker who also leaked some details of Episode VIII and turned out to be accurate.

Thoughts?

Not that I'm bitter over not getting to make this thread or anything, or biased against talking about movie leaks, but I'm thinking that making a thread called "Episode IX" this early to discuss some early leaks is both terrible and misleading.

It should be called "Episode IX Leak and Rumor Thread" or "Star Wars Episode IX Leaky Faucet Thread Where We Discuss Rumors an" you know, before the character limit runs out. Note there are Avengers and Star Wars leak threads, in addition to several others. That seems common courtesy.

Also, given the volatile nature of Star Wars discussion here, I think this should be closed until there's something tangible to discuss so it doesn't devolve into "this leak is stupid" and "if this leak is true then I'm f'cking done with Star Wars."

Random thought.

So, this one is Episode IX, meaning, the next Sequel Trilogy will start with Episode X. This amuses me. [lol]

The rumors so far range from “Wow, nice reference” (the idea that The Star Forge or something similar will be used to fix a major plot hole) to the “Dude, no,” (Time travel?!). Who knows what is or isn’t real.

To be fair, time travel was confirmed to be a thing in Rebels recently.

That said, fans are probably just theorizing time travel because they want the movie to be a Fix Fic for stuff they didn’t like, which would be a waste.

I'm comfortable with a massive retcon like that.

Did any of us object when the X-men series salvaged itself that way?

What kind of time travel, though? Is it the kind where you can mess around and mess things up or the kind where you can only observe or any attempts to change stuff don't work?

The problem with that reddit leak is that it's proposing that episode ix isn't really any kind of finale. Which is kind of directly at odds with everything we know about Disney's plans for the franchise? I know Solo's failure has them rethinking things, but I don't think that's happened quickly or drastically enough for ep 9 not to be a conclusion

[up][up]We see someone reach into the past and pull a person into the present in order to save their life, from what appears to be a foregone conclusion for their death. It seems to be possible to change things, at least in certain places.

Disney has no plan, and the movie is being directed by JJ. The idea that it doesn't actually conclude anything is not that unreasonable.

That Reddit leak sounds completely ridiculous. The time travel one is more believable based on Rebels.

Disney has no plan

Disney has no plot outline. They absolutely had a plan, which involved giving various directors trilogies of their own to tell completely unrelated stories after Episode IX

MrSeyker Since: Apr, 2011
#15: Jul 18th 2018 at 6:38:00 PM

No, the plan was one trilogy from a specific person, and a bunch of anthologies from other directors.

And consider the Johnson trilogy apparently doesn't even have an outline yet, and Episode IX still hasn't set the broader universe for others to draw from.

They got an idea of what they want out of the franchise, but no real plan.

Johnson's trilogy is also after they found out his book is the most divisive in Star Wars and may have contributed to Solo's failure.

Mind you, I suspect Solo will redeem itself on DVD and streaming.

The Johnson trilogy was announced one week about The Last Jedi's premiere and 5 months before Solo premiered.

Not really a 'minor', TLJ's reception kept away general audiences. Most fans never wanted to touch the thing for many reasons and the troubled production only added on to that.

Also Solo's streaming might not get the chance, its likely to be a launch title for Disney's own streaming service and not actually make it onto Netflix.

Can we, like, not be negative and get yet another Star Wars thread shut down again?

Anyway, I'm both excited and extremely nervous regarding Episode IX. I really do wonder how J.J Abrams is going to stick the landing. I mean, people are going to hate it either way, but at the very least, it would be nice for this to be the best of the 3 movies.

Also, thoughts on the rumors?
