Couldn't you say that about a hero who was a trans-woman?

(Not saying Rey would be in that case, just in general)

Or likewise, a trans-man is only good because he gave up his femininity?

Better than the last "leak" in that it incorporates real spoilers that have come out, but then it also fails to address some of the other spoiler points like Kelly Marie Tran's character. You're almost there fake plot outline "leakers".

Yeah, but on the other hand the "Rey is a Mary Sue" people would flip their lids because Rey is literally a super special chosen one and in a position that used to be held by a man. That's why it's brilliant even/especially as a fake. It's almost a shame it's having its thunder stolen already (did one leak make everyone else go "Oh poo poo, time to turn in mine!").

That seems way longer than 120 minutes.

But that Rey twist is cool as gently caress and would be very cool. It makes no sense though.

The Chosen One leak is like a hilarious trainwreck of Legacy of Kain and Avatar (the last Airbender, not blue cat people).

The twist will be that the blue saber absorbs the souls of the people it kills and Rey will go back in time to literally become the saber.

Rey will have to choose between three different colors of lightsaber, with vastly different results for the Galaxy at large.

They telegraphed Kylo Ren as who left Rey on Jakku so hard in Force Awakens which causes me to be instantly dismissive of any of these "leaks" which sucks because I wanna get all wound up over fake info for the next year and a half. :(

I think they telegraphed that he was aware, but not the one who left her, literally.

The argument between Hux and Ren about having Snoke consider a clone army is a hint that the First Order experimented with cloning.

I thought that exchange about clones was just a nod and reference with no substantial story meaning. Just exposition and giving reasons as to why clones arent still being used

Exterior filming in Dubrovnik for a space casino setting, and possibly a speeder chase scene where Finn rides a space horse.

Possibly Leia goes into a coma and someone else takes leads the resistance in her absence.

If you're looking for fairly reliable spoilers, this is where you want to check. They have lots of pictures of stone beehive huts being constructed, presumably for scenes on Luke's hermit planet without actually filming on Skellig Michael, which is amusing to me because the huts we saw in the Force Awakens were legitimately made by Irish monks, and their designs are being copied faithfully for a modern sci-fi movie.

This is the best kitchen ever.
Yeah they're probably aiming to film on Skellig Michael as little as possible, having visited there its not a place easily suited to filming, its weather is loving awful 90% of the time and they really dont like people going there that much to keep it preserved.

Looks like more mock Ahch-To (Mahch-To?) filming, this time at Pinewood. I'm guessing the other sets might be Dubrovnik Casino related? The old tree looks awesome, maybe a relic from the time of the original Jedi?

That tree does look cool. Also, I wonder if that Falcon piece is easily moveable, or if they have to rebuild it whenever they need it on a new set. Even taking it from an inside set at Pinewood to outside could prove problematic.

Movies are used to this, although I'm sure the inside of the Falcon is in a soundstage and will remain built and mostly ready to go for the next few years while Ep 8 and 9 are filmed. Then they'd have an exterior one they can assemble and then the simple 'entry only' setpeice with the ramp.

Nope, that arch was man made (well, cgi most of it)


Most of that canyon sequence was digital backgrounds as they couldn't film in those areas without damaging them, so they took one vehicle in there and filmed it all and then the rest was filmed in open areas and added in the canyon walls in post.

Was there ever any official comment on how the cast of Bucky O'Hare was ripped off 1:1 from that comic?

I give Jaxxon a pass because the 70s Marvel Star Wars comics he came from are 70s sci-fi as gently caress and awesome.
