Thinking it over I have to agree, how could we fit in some more Star Wars callbacks.

They should definitely bring back that Vader guy from EP 3 and Rogue One. He's way more intimidating than Darth Maul.

Honestly I'd get hyped for Chewbacca: A Star Wars Story

What was he up to on Kashyyk that got him involved with Yoda? Is he wookie nobility? How did his race get enslaved? Does his prequel-era sympathy for jedi like Yoda lead him to chat with and sympathize with Obi-Wan at the cantina? What does he really think of Han and friends? Does he hate Ben or want to redeem him like Han wanted to?

He's legit interesting and I think he's beloved enough to carry a story even without subtitles if the supporting cast is decent.

As I said: his quest for his family could totally be a good movie. It would also be pretty cool because the fact that he’s sticking with Han throughout the years implies that they’re gone, which is a shade of dark we’re not used to see in Star Wars...yet.

On the contrary, just about every time they introduce new characters into the backstory of people we know, they die sometime before the end of these movies. Lando's lady friend Bride of Pinbot had a death sentence on her once they explained she had all the navigation data in her head, I was like, "Oh, that's why the Falcon's computer has most peculiar dialect." poo poo they are killing off all the characters we know as well.

Hate that kind of poo poo, trying to legend up every aspect of the original trilogy. The Falcon has a peculiar dialect because it's been illegally modified to hell and back not because it's possessed by Lando's girlfriendtron

There are two currently canon EU books, approved by the story group, set after ROTJ, where both Malla and Lumpy are alive and well. Sorry, but if they die, it's to the First Order WAAAAAAAAAAAY later, and they've already said that nope, they're both alive as of VII as well.

Don't trust the skull.
In Episode IX, we'll learn that Lumpy joined the First Order after Chewbacca tried to kill him. He'll then try to live up to his grandfather's legacy by watching VR porn.

I will laugh so, so, so goddamn hard if Episode IX is just two hours of Abrams having a tantrum about The Last Jedi and Disney spends $200 million or whatever making it.

A dude on Reddit who was basically correct about everything but the later changes to TLJ (in 2015 after seeing 'early storyboards') has basically spelled out Episode 9 and welp

Kathleen Kennedy has already said, explicitly, that they aren't re-casting Fisher, so if any of that is true it's from when Trevorrow was still working on it.

Well, they are supposedly casting a new middle-aged woman for a leading role, who could be a replacement for Leia's part.

Abrams said that he and Terrio completely trashed Trevorrow's script when he was fired (and Trevorrow himself said that he intended Episode IX to heavily feature Leia), so...

The guy claims the storyboard is from JJ's treatment and not Trevorrow's. He also claims that Disney has internally reached the decision to go ahead and re-cast Leia.

For the record I think the guy's ideas are very, very stupid, but I would have said that about several things had I seen his leak of TLJ. Except for the parts we know were rewritten (when Rose took Poe's place and Poe had to be given something else to do back with the Resistance), he was pretty drat close.

I do not want this leak to be correct. I think it's awful.
