I can't tell if this is a response to the several spoilers posted lately or a commentary on the people posting the spoilers.
It is a response to the spoilers
Ah. Well I haven't read the spoilers. So I prefer to look at it as though you're talking to the posters. And I like it.

Say what you want about me, I've been irritatingly consistent in my opinions about "spoilers" this far from release.

The opposition feels like The Dark Side. :lol:

Spoiler: show

This is weird. This should have been the premise of the entire trilogy, instead of making it the last episode. Unfolding throughout three episodes, while the character pieces remain the focus of the story. Reading this with no idea how any of it would fit together, makes the entire trilogy feel disjointed.

We'll see in a few months.

Is that the Making Star Wars site?

That place has always seemed like a garbled mess of nonsense and half-baked bs, to me. I can't read most of it to determine if they know what they're talking about or not. But dime says they're legit. And he's usually on his SW game.

Well just the big scoops they had long before each films release
They had Han dying, they had Snokes reveal, they knew Luke wasn’t gonna be in the film hardly at all, they had Vader appearing in Rogue one.
Also tons of the story elements and smaller stuff.

They’re rarely if ever wrong. Which I why I hate myself for not being able to cut them off in the run up to a new film.

I don't mind spoilers, but it really takes some of the fun away when things are presented without context or in the natural flow of the movie.

I agree. We often come up with far more cool or interesting ideas than what eventially happens. But that’s another story

Not really.*


*not at all.

These two clowns down on their clicks make up a bullshit theory and their channel gets a much needed boost.

There will be no time travel in Star Wars kids. Not now or ever. Honestly.

Filoni was pretty clear that The World Between Worlds in Rebels was a one-off and not something they'd do again. But he's also not JJ Abrams. And Rebels isn't the feature films. So...

While I think time travel is a hard sell, and I'm personally against it on paper, I wouldn't 100% rule it out. Again, I hope they don't. But I'd bet it's not 100% off the table.

if you don't get around the 'Net much, here's some ideas on how some fans would like to see Episode 9 play out

- Kylo goes back in time somehow and confronts Anakin before he talks to Mace about Palpatine being a Sith. He shows Anakin his future and horrors of the Darth Vader / Empire, yada yada yada. Anakin so horrified he doesn't interfere with duel between Mace and Palpatine, and either Mace kills him or Palpatine kills himself. There's peace and prosperity and Anakin and Padme raise Luke and Leia and basically tell the new story of episode 4 - 6.

-Rey goes back in time somehow, gets impregnated by the Force somehow, and becomes Shmi. So it turns out Shmi is actually Rey from the future. It's like a circle or something.


After reading these, I'll be thankful for anything JJ Abrams gives us.

Reading that, I can only think that the Internet was a terrible idea.
