stip wrote:I like the plagius theory if part of the point of this series is to truly close out the skywalker saga (the part that starts w Vader, anyway. Especially if Rey is palpatine's granddaughter (going up against Ben solo - a skywalker)


The emperor's master vs Luke - the last of the Jedi
The heir of Vader vs Rey - the heir of the emperor


That's a proper framework for mythic storytelling



Just finish at 9 and move on to new adventures - even if it is with some of the same characters

Iger confirmed the other day that they're Lookin at Star Wars films for the next 15 years. So we're getting at least 1 more saga trilogy

I'm all for more stories with these characters. I would just like to see the skywalker arc (as a story that parallels the rise and fall and rise and fall and ? of the Republic/Empire/aftermath) be replaced with something new at that point. Some new threat or story or war. Unless they end this trilogy in such a way that there is a need for three more stories (which they could do. I just can't think of what they'd be)

Develop new favourites into established bankable legacy characters or conveyor belt of new characters. I know which I'd prefer.

No but news of two cameos have. One a British former boyband member/ X factor judge you guys wouldn't have heard of but let me uuuuuggggghhhhhhh for you and another by some guy called Justin Theroux who I never heard of.

Also two shots of Rey using a lightsaber on ahch to were shown last night at cinemacon in a Disney upcoming movie sizzle reel.

Justin Theroux is in Star Wars: The Last Jedi and we have some details. #StarWars #TheLastJedi

You've never heard of Justin Theroux? Did you say that because that's what you thought we wanted to hear, or did you think about what you were going to say and then say it because you truly believed that it was right?

Well, alright then. You will see me one more time, if you do good. You will see me two more times, if you do bad. Good night.
