I’d argue Driver has a similar nose to Ford.

Have there been any "trustworthy" leaks on the episode 9 story? Is there any decent hypothesis on what'll happen?

The main one that's circulated is that one from Reddit (the "Rey and Kylo's love child" one) sourced from a Redditor who claims to have seen early storyboards and purportedly got about 90% of TLJ right before it was released.

I saw somewhere that people are thinking Mark Hamill won't be in it because he's shaved off his beard. I would say, with the fan reaction to episode 8/solo, that it's more likely his scenes already got shot and the beard shaving might just be to throw people off (or maybe he doesn't have a beard as a force ghost?).

If there are any legit early stage spoilers, you'll probably seem them on sites like MakingStarWars or StarWarsNewsNet first. Based on the last few movies, someone in production usually takes pics of production art and sends it to them. Those sites usually then provide their own descriptions of what they see.

One thing I've heard about IX is that Greg Grunberg might be in it again which, if true, I suppose would tend to confirm that the Resistance in the Millennium Falcon at the end of TLJ wasn't the entire Resistance.

I think the idea is that, if they're about to start filming, and he's going to be in it with a beard, it would be a bad time to shave. His beard was pretty bushy and, as an owner of a bushy beard myself, I can say they don't grown in overnight. Sure, maybe he's not needed until the end of the shoot and he figures he'll have time to grow it back by then. But he seemed to keep it long while JJ was writing the script, and shortly after JJ finished it, Hamill shaved. Seems likely he won't be needing a beard for Episode IX, one way or another.

It should be fairly simple to reup the Rogue Tarkin technology to put Mark's VIII face over Mark's IX face. But the issue that ghost Hayden raises is whether to do his hermit face, his projection face, or a younger one. Poor guy might have to close out his character in that ol white karate gi

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
Per Dark_Tzitzimine in the Greenlighting thread:

quote:

Star Wars: Episode IX will begin filming at London’s Pinewood Studios on August 1, 2018. J.J. Abrams returns to direct the final installment of the Skywalker saga. Abrams co-wrote the screenplay with Chris Terrio.

Returning cast members include Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran, Joonas Suotamo, and Billie Lourd. Joining the cast of Episode IX are Naomi Ackie and Richard E. Grant, who will be joined by veteran Star Wars actors Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, and Billy Dee Williams, who will reprise his role as Lando Calrissian.

The role of Leia Organa will once again be played by Carrie Fisher, using previously unreleased footage shot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. “We desperately loved Carrie Fisher,” says Abrams. “Finding a truly satisfying conclusion to the Skywalker saga without her eluded us. We were never going to recast, or use a CG character. With the support and blessing from her daughter, Billie, we have found a way to honor Carrie’s legacy and role as Leia in Episode IX by using unseen footage we shot together in Episode VII.”

Composer John Williams, who has scored every chapter in the Star Wars saga since 1977’s A New Hope, will return to a galaxy far, far away with Episode IX. Star Wars: Episode IX will be produced by Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Michelle Rejwan, and executive produced by Callum Greene and Jason McGatlin. The crew includes Dan Mindel (Director of Photography), Rick Carter and Kevin Jenkins (Co-Production Designers), Michael Kaplan (Costume Designer), Neal Scanlan (Creature and Droid FX), Maryann Brandon and Stefan Grube (Editors), Roger Guyett (VFX Supervisor), Tommy Gormley (1st AD), and Victoria Mahoney (2nd Unit Director).

quote:

Director J.J. Abrams will use unreleased footage from 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens to put Fisher's Leia into Episode IX.

"We desperately loved Carrie Fisher,” Abrams said in a statement. “Finding a truly satisfying conclusion to the Skywalker saga without her eluded us. We were never going to recast, or use a CG character. With the support and blessing from her daughter, Billie [Lourd], we have found a way to honor Carrie’s legacy and role as Leia in Episode IX by using unseen footage we shot together in Episode VII.”

Fisher died in December 2016, after completing work on last year's Star Wars: The Last Jedi. In January 2017, Lucasfilm issued a statement assuring fans that there were no plans for a digital re-creation of Leia, after reviving late actor Peter Cushing's Grand Moff Tarkin for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. In April 2017, Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy said Fisher would not appear in Episode IX.

That comes down to genetics though, some people can grow a beard like Hamil's in no time though.

One thing to consider is, that Leia may already have passed by the time 9 starts. We could just see her in flashbacks. We know of at least one scene shown in the TFA trailer which wasn't in the movie. It was Max handing the lightsaber to Leia. I could see them finally using that scene in conjunction with Lando to explain how the lightsaber made it from Cloud City, to Maz and then to Rey.
