Possibly hunting down Finn.
What if she hunted down and killed Finn?
Guess that all depends on how you feel about Finn
I don't mind him if he can lay off the Red Bull in the next movie.

She can pretty much kill off all the new cast for all care.

Yeah, she's in it.

Seen a few different reports over the last few months that she'll have a much bigger and relevant part in Ep 8. But who knows.
Maybe she will majorly help the Resistance with very little coercion again.
:haha:

:finn: turn off the shields so our guys can blow up everything the first order has been working for for the last thirty years, and don't call for help

He's probably off seeing some upcoming blockbuster early.

Well ok.

Interesting theory about Sabine. Reluctant to take on the dark saber and what it means for it to unite her people and get her father back, is that a clue about Rey? Will she be reluctant to be trained and take on the responsibility of becoming a Jed and reestablishing them in the galaxy and get her father back?

Oh, totally. I'm not gonna say it's flawless (that's absurd). But it is fun.

You've changed.



Jokes aside. I wonder how this new trilogy will fit together. The OT is seemless on almost all ways. As we feel about them. How will this new one settle?

Is the OT seamless, though? It feels like a movie, a vastly different sequel with a tacked on twist ending, and a remake of the original. I think it's highly likely that this new trilogy will improve the model.

Just realised something. About Leia. If you haven't read bloodline maybe don't open the tag
Spoiler: show
she gets outed and vilified as Vaders daughter in Bloodline. The man and establishment the rebellion fought so hard to defeat. And gets turned out of the new republic as a result as they made it look like she was hiding this information all along when in truth Bale simply never had a chance to tell her. Thrown out Despite there being many secret factions trying to reestablish the empire through the first order. And then it turns out her son is now with the first order trying to destroy and actually has destroyed the new republic and everything she's fought to try build.

Also makes the loss of Carrie cut a bit deeper cos she surely was gonna have a lot more to do in this trilogy and now they're having to write around that

I think there is certainly an interesting story line in there about the rebels lacking any sense of plan about what to do if they were successful in overthrowing the empire.

That was probably the secondary /background storyline. Star Wars is family drama up front. Leia confronting Kylo would have been up front and centre
