Maybe they liked the direction of the film like many of us in this thread.

If anything The Last Jedi frees up episode 9 to be whatever the director wants it to be. So many of the story arcs from the force awakens are closed and the story lines that are not closed have a ton of room and space to grow.

If someone does do a fan edit I hope they put this one in

Spoiler: show

the first line of the prologue has luke on tatooine thinking about his wife. Health warning with that tbh but still. Rey is a force birth.

Especially this one on Snokes backstory

Crazy stuff in there! https://dorksideoftheforce.com/2018/02/ ... okes-past/

I didn't know he had a wife. Unless him and Leia were from Leicester...

This is hopefully great news. This guy wrote the making of books for the OT and they’re amazing.

Sweet

It’s gotta be them right?
I really hope it is. The art of last Jedi readsxlike a making of but nothing like as in depth as the OT making of books.

I hope so. Doesn’t make sense to skip TFA, tho.

Cool

A jedi master and Mark Hamill.

Vedder in episode 9 confirmed!

Force ghost, time travel, demonic possession?

I’m listening to the audiobook. Golly gosh.

Spoiler for TLJ audiobook.

Luke has trained Leia. She’s been trained enough to reach out and sense different peoples thoughts and emotions. And sense their presence. Also well enough to be able to sense Luke anytime and from across the galaxy. She senses ‘when he was betrayed’ and he was like a storm in the force(this presumably about Bens turning). Then he was suddenly gone and she hasn’t been able to reach him in years.

Not sure that I'm down with movies having stuff in them which don't completely make sense and then supplementary material having to fill in the gaps

There’s always more room in the books and this is being sold as an expanded version of the story. It’s awesome so far. Extended stuff with Luke and Rey particularly.

Spoiler: show

while Kylo was rummaging around in Reys mind in TFA she could also enter his. His dreams are haunted by the ghost of Darth Vader. So it’s a safe bet Snoke has been fucking with his mind all along.

I agree, but I don't think Luke training Leia a bit is too much of a mental stretch.

Nah it's not, but there could have been a small scene that alluded to this at least instead of Leia suddenly being so strong in the force
