they were already confirmed as far as I'm concerned. the only thing that could be different in the movie at this point is post-production modifications. which might actually be done heavily to the ending

There was a leaked image of the Senate's super lightning, and the fleet of Star Destroyers has been all over the TV spots. We just didn't know if those Star Destroyers were Death Star Destroyers.

Help me to establish them as death star star destroyers by calling them that constantly, I think it sounds way stupider as is appropriate for the concept

Calling it a Death Star Destroyer just makes it sound like it destroys death stars, you're right that it's a Death Star Star Destroyer.

Of all the things JJ could consider taking from TLJ, in hindsight it is so very painfully obvious that miniaturized death star tech would be one of them

The only thing scarier than a Death Star? A really big Death Star. And the only thing scarier than that? A hundred Death Stars.

That's ridiculous. The scariest thing would be if the baddies had a small team of death stars, each of which echoes one of the heroes in some way, like in the fast and the furious 6.

Edit: I wanted to do more with this post, but it's really hard to describe the opposites of the sequel characters

I'm assuming that was the original intent SOMEONE had and Disney said no, you can't

That actually makes a ton of sense because everything was clearly leading up to that and then took a hard turn away from it . So I'll just preach as gospel the studio destroyed TLJ just like they did rogue 1 (which was more obvious )

Off the top of my head, the verified leaks have the dagger having directions to Sheev.

After they go to the desert bazaar planet for that, Kylo and the jetpack catapult bike stormtroopers attack and at some point Chewie gets nabbed and put on a shuttle. Rey accidentally Force Lightnings the shuttle and blows it up, everyone thinks Chewie is dead but then it turns out he was on a different shuttle and is perfectly fine. Everyone goes to Sheev's iceberg thing where he's got a million old Star Destroyers with Death Star superlasers, there's a big space battle while Sheev shoots a ton of lightning into space and blows a bunch of stuff up. Force Ghost Han shows up at one point and talks to Kylo, but then Kylo gets yeeted into a pit and never shows up again. The ghosts of Luke and Leia kill Sheev's soul or something so he can't come back again. Movie ends with Rey visiting the old Lars farm on Tatooine (probably during a binary sunset) and someone asks who she is and she says her name is Rey Skywalker, credits roll.

Also they go to the wreckage of the second Death Star at some point, I forget why.

I honestly hope Force Ghost Han is just a disinformation tactic to cover for Force Ghost Anakin.

Becoming a force ghost if you’re not imbued with the Force and/or not a Jedi isn’t a thing and while Disney is probably dumb enough to do that, Anakin showing up instead and telling his grandson to get off his lawn would be much more dramatic.

The helmet wasn't on the death star. Luke put Vader's suit/body on a funeral pyre on Endor.

He needed to grind dark side points fast so he could unlock the dark side power to stop people from dying.

Oh my God, my idea that the Empire should have multiple Star Destroyers with single reactor Death Star lasers (instead of just one big Death Star) is actually in the movie?

Also regarding the Dagger of Mortis, if it's actually the dagger in the movie it means Dave Filoni really do have more influence in the franchise and that is good.

If Kylo gets thrown into a pit and is never talked about again in the movie, that just means he will be the best character in a Disney+ animated series set after Episode 9.

It's a JJ Abrams movie, glaring mistake WRT the scale of space are to be expected. Star Trek had the planet Vulcan being clearly visible from a planet on the other side of the galaxy, The Force Awakens had the same thing with Hosnian Prime getting blown up, it's not a stretch at all for JJ to just arbitrarily decide that the Death Star II wreckage ended up on a different planet.

It's not even that big a deal, maybe Endor has an ocean moon in addition to the forest moon and the wreckage fell there, who knows. If it's on a planet in a completely different system, though, that's classic JJ.

If it's anything like BvS, it definitely won't be a no-brain popcorn movie. In fact, one of the main complaints about BvS is that it wasn't that kind of movie. Justice League also went under heavy rewrites by Joss Whedon.

Chris Terrio was brought in to BvS because he was the writer for Ben Affleck's Oscar-winning Argo, and I think he joined TROS at the recommendation of Zack Snyder who is Abrams' friend.

I think the thing I find hardest to believe in the leaks is the implication that Harrison Ford shows up again as Han Solo. I can't see any amount of money being enough for him to come back.

Harrison ford talks a big game but ultimately he is a creature driven by checks. If he really believed in the never be han solo again thing he wouldn't have been in 7 in the first place, as he had claimed he wouldn't be for the previous 30 years

You underestimate the power of a dump truck full of cash. If they want him he will be back.

I'm leaning towards the Han thing being a takeout and the force ghost that Ren has a heart to heart with being (young) Anakin. The entire movie is about Skywalkers, every other important Skywalker is apparently showing up as a force ghost, might as well take it full circle and really ramp that nostalgia to the max
