Ok, I need to stop getting so hyped for this. Still a year away.

As a bunch of people in the reddit thread pointed out: that plot sounds so good that it probably can't be true. It feeds off a bunch of early rumors and uses the trailer and leaked concept art as "proof" that it's true, while it could have easily been written based off of those things. It also sounds like a lot for a 2-hour movie.

You don't think it sounds super JJ Abrams to have Sydow...

Spoiler: show: ...play a mystery cyborg who probably turns out to be the emperor?

It's not that I think it sounds un-Abrams like--I haven't seen the Star Wars movies, so Lost is my only touchstone, which he wasn't involved in much besides the creation/pilot--but it sounds super-fanficish for...

Spoiler: show: ...it to be Boba Fett, which is what lots of people on reddit are hypothesizing.

Even if this "leak" turns out to be mostly fake I am liking the bits and pieces I've seen so far.

That would be extra terrible.

Spoiler: show: They did it in the EU, too. He crawled out of the Sarlaac pit (I guess that's something you can do) and went on to terrorize the galaxy for years. Except in the end he became some sort of good guy? I haven't read that far.

If the Emperor can do the Force ghost thing, perhaps he can be put back in a body..of a clone or willing acolyte..

That's been done to death in the EU; I hope they don't pick it up.

I'm a lifelong SW fan and i've never set foot in the EU. It's never held any interest for me for exactly these sorts of reasons.

The EU is out now though, right? Didn't they officially say none of that was cannon and none of it was being looked at for this new trilogy?

Yeah, they did, but there were so many clones--Palpatine x100, Luuke Skywalker--that using it in the new films would just seem lazy.

i'm doubting the credibility of reddit spoiler man

I wouldn't write it off totally. A lot of it seems like the real thing and some educated guesswork making up the rest. That all does seem like a lot for one movie, but there's definitely elements there that are likely.

Today it emerged Serkis' character will be good on the face of it but pulling strings and actually has a sinister motivation. I'll try find the link for that.
