The droids in Star Wars do not represent actual real-life robots. This is not difficult to learn.

Is this going to be the first Star War without 3po and R2, or will they shoehorn them in like Elijah Wood in the Hobbit as some sort of bedtime story to Ben Solo thing.

Hey, guess what, at the end of Rebels, Thrawn is sent hurtling into the Unknown Regions with Ezra aboard a Star Destroyer. It's Thrawn. 100%. Saying they're casting for a woman doesn't matter, because it's Disney the same people who said (Spoilers for Avengers) every death in Infinity War was permanent (lol) and that Hawkeye would be in the film.

The only reason people think it's an EU character in the first place is because of the name they're using in casting. It's not going to be Thrawn. Another top tip: It's not going to be Mara Jade either. It's just a codename.

I do still feel Thrawn will show up with the FO in some way, though most likely in book or comic form, just given story stuff, but yeah, you're right.

Why are you spoiling Star Wars poo poo in the spoiler thread?

Thrawn nor Mara Jade will be in Episode 9. I don't think Mara Jade will show up in any movie. Thrawn will most likely show up in the new cartoon they just announced.

Me too, but that's the kind of link to the prequels that I'll be really surprised if Disney does it.

I can't remember where I saw it, but there has been rumours disney will be leaning into prequel references a lot more in this movie. It makes sense, given the timeline of Han's youth etc.

Disney loves the prequels. It's what helped get the price of the brand down to a cool 4 billy.

Ah-ha, I've figured out how to improve Attack of the Clones

Remove the entire "Anakin and Padme go to Naboo" segment and replace it with Obi-Wan tracking down a lead on Jango Fett that leads him to the Casinos on Cato Neimoidia for half an hour, and from there, to Kamino

I feel if Canto Bight had been in the prequels it would have been a genuinely creative and crazy looking space casino instead of just a casino.

Am I the only one who's eyes rolled out of his head when he heard the "I'm putting together a team" line from the Solo trailer? that feels second only to "The world is changing/The world has changed" in terms of cliched lines, except worst because its also the plot to half of all lazy summer movies now.

So the Resistance will have marshaled and rebuilt its forces after getting its poo poo pushed in, and then it will be the story of the Resistance taking one final strike against the First Order (in Leia's honor, naturally) to end this second galactic war or whatever.

yeah that's what i was expecting coming out of the theater for TLJ, even a little 5 year gap will give them time to have the resistance revitalized by the legend of luke skywalker, time for the first order to change under kylo ren in some capacity, give rey time to get more in touch with this whole jedi thing and the books, give finn time to well...do anything beyond follow a girl around like a lost puppy like the last two movies

and yeah, avoid the elephant in the room of what to do with leia. opening scene will probably be her funeral, it makes too much sense to not
