It sounds fake as hell but you can technically be a 'nobody' if you lived an average life never knowing your father was an important guy.

Still lol, just lol if the whole "Ryan democratized the Force! No more dynastic bloodlines!" bullshit ends up followed by something like this.

It's the only "leak" so far to mention Lando in any capacity so it's slightly more credible than the others, but still probably like 90% bullshit

I'd still like to know what happened to Luke's badass green lightsaber. Also Anakin's saber should have been brimming with evil rear end Sith energy since lava planet. He killed a shitload of kids with it.

Presumably tossed it into the ocean like Rey attempts to in the leak.

That said, the leak as a whole is still suspect (despite the source, which I'd usually see as legit) because it's missing character deets on Jannah, Rose, whoever Matt Smith is supposed to be, etc.

Though I do quite like the bit with Rey closing out the saga by building a golden-hued lightsaber using the parts from Leia's and Anakin's.

The whole "ghosts show up to save the protagonist's rear end from Palpatine" is stolen from an early draft of ROTJ, which is also where they got Han's "come out of lightspeed inside the planet's shield" maneuver from TFA, so that tracks as something JJ would do, at least.

Wasn't that also part of the plot of "Splinter of the Mind's Eye"? Luke ends up facing Vader between ANH and ESB and Obi Wan saves his rear end by essentially possessing him and fighting Vader using Luke's younger body and a crystal that amplified Force power?

Yes, their report included the bit about the dagger, how Threepio ties into it, and that it killed Rey's parents.

I feel like its real, with a few details left out. I'm also fine with it. It's basically JJ being like "gently caress it! We're pandering." It's just probably the only way he felt he could go forward. I like my big budget blockbusters super pandering, so I'm All In.

Leak One: Han will appear to Kylo Ren at some point as a vision and it will set him off into a fit of rage.

Leak Two: Luke, as a force ghost, will catch Anakins lightsaber when Rey throws it at him. Its almost the antithesis of the TLJ moment. It shocks Rey.

Leak Three: Palpatine will be back in some form. I guess he has been filmed BUT I have no idea if thats a flashback, force ghost, etc.

Leak Four: In the beginning of the film, Leia will somehow be training Rey a little.

This is a view I always found strange, as I thought the Force was already democratized. Sure we spend most of our time with the Skywalkers (Anakin, Luke, Leia, Sheev kinda), but Yoda, Obi-Wan, Maul, Dooku, all the dozens of nameless jedi etc, aren't Skywalkers. So by saying "Anybody can use the force/be a jedi" I never thought was anything new, it was always like that.

Palpatine should definitely remind characters about the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise.

It’s not a story the Jedi would tell them.

Plot twist: he shows up early in the movie but Rian Johnson himself sneaks up and murders him unceremoniously. Johnson is the true villain of the new trilogy.

Rian Johnson finds himself leaping from film to film, loving things up that once went right and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.

Nah, it legitimately is a clever turn on the character. When you see him in RotJ, he's this big ancient evil, but the prequels revel that he's just a basic opportunist. The fact that the antagonists like Maul are being scammed into dying for him when they actually buy into their actions having some real purpose is sad.

The comic Saga has a similar turn where there is just this lovely government worker constantly on his cellphone who shows up every now and then, and by the end of the series, you realize that this guy is actually the closest to a big bad in the comic. But he's just some anonymous rear end in a top hat who the main characters don't even know.

I might be inclined to watch this movie if Matt Smith has a creepy, body-horror transformation into Palp-smear. Like his face and body starts stretching, pulsating, and pruning. As he screams out in fear and agony, his howls slowly morph into mocking laughter, and then it's Ian McDarmid standing front-and-center.
