Is there any reason Rey can't be Luke's kid? I mean, she seems pretty young, but Han doesn't seem to recognize her or guess that she might be his daughter. I mean, anything's possible, there's a bunch of ways she could be Han's kid and I honestly think that's most likely, but I think the alternative is interesting. That would also change the dynamic of Kylo and Rey- rather than being twins (again), they would be defined by their common grandparent. Darth Vader. That emphasis could be a bit more upsetting for Rey. Especially if she thinks Luke let her down or whatever (clearly something's gone wrong with Luke's story because he hasn't made a new Jedi order yet). She'd have no pride in her background, only shame and self-doubt. Being ashamed of her birthright while being all buddy-buddy with Han seems a bit silly, even if he doesn't have anything directly to do with it.

Gonz posted:Perhaps Rey is unaware of her lineage, also. Though putting it that way... perhaps she just gets told it had been used to kill dozens of children by Darth Vader. That would be a sympathetic motive for not touching the thing.

Fragmented posted:You assholes almost had me blacklist any internet star wars discussion. I thought there was an actual script leak or something. So far this sounds like poo poo you would regularly read in magazines and poo poo. Has the main thread gone super "no spoilers!" nerd or what? There's a few bits we don't know specifically. Like Fin, Han, and Rey get told something important at the halfway point by the pirate lady, and Kylo Ren and Han have some sort of meaningful exchange before he dies, but we don't know that Kylo is Han's son. Assuming the leaks aren't bullshit. Obviously the discussion is going to center around the few things that aren't known, rather than most of the film that is known. But to be honest, this thread basically exists because we know that Han dies and that knowledge being out there understandably upsets people who are avoiding spoilers.

Kylo Ren has to be Han and Leia's. I mean, not just anyone can up and kill Han. It's gotta mean something. Han being killed by his own son, and Kylo Ren killing his own father means a lot more than if he was killing his uncle. Rey being Luke's does raise the question of who the mother is, but fortunately we've got a whole two other movies to explore that. It's an opportunity to add to Luke's back story (what happened between movies at least), which is going to be relevant sooner or later.

LORD OF BUTT posted:That is actually a fair point, though, why would he be signed on for more if his character dies in this one? Han's not force-sensitive, so he couldn't show up as a force ghost. Flashbacks, maybe, but kinda doubtful. Gonz posted:This may or may not be bullshit (it's almost certainly bullshit):

Groovelord Neato posted:lmao. you're defending obscenely rich people being crabs about what made them obscenely rich. Imagine you're an actor. And you personally don't like, I dunno, romantic comedies (replace with any genre you're actually not too enthusiastic about). You got into it for playing sci-fi action heroes. But one day you get offered a gig in a romantic comedy, and, whatever, it pays well and won't be too hard so why not? Turns out to be the highest grossing romantic comedy of all time. You've made it big and you're set for life, and there's legions of... I don't know, middle aged ladies out there who think you're just precious or whatever. You can never go out in public again without being recognized for that one movie. You'll probably have it's cheesy lines quoted to you on the street for the rest of your life. But whatever. You're rich now, right? It's okay. You do the circuit, keep up enough enthusiasm for the cameras, get on with life. But deep down in your heart you don't really like that movie. You never will. It's just not your thing. It's kind of unpleasant to be associated with. How annoying of you. Harrison Ford doesn't sound like one of the most pleasant of people in general, but your specific criticism is idiotic.

Kelp Plankton posted:Why would there be nerd rage over killing off a character that nobody knows anything about  Call it the Boba Fett effect if you want. I mean, hopefully she'll be a more interesting character than Boba Fett, but even if she had just as minor and relatively pointless of a role, she'd probably have a similar following just based on how cool she is aesthetically/conceptually. And I'm fine with that.

Kanji Club? Kanji Club!? That is either the best or worst name for a group of interplanetary raiders. Shimrra Jamaane posted:Yeah looking at it even further the design on the right kind of sucks. Its just a cartoon character, just an exaggeration of some old wrinkly old man with a soggy left eye. The one on the left is legit unsettling and enticing. It's really loving cool. The one on the left is just burned. It's a pretty hosed up burn, but it doesn't combine that superficial disgust with the horror of entropy and age like the other one does.

Lunchmeat Larry posted:What real spoilers do we know about so far? I haven't really been paying attention. 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.

I think the valid argument is more, "This exciting connection to an obscure character is not especially appealing to the target audience." If they explain Snoke from scratch, audiences will get that. If he's the old Emperor's Sith teacher, that reads as "impressive super evil guy" and does the job nicely, without any additional lore. If he's related to one of those funny looking badguys in that cartoon... well, I mean, sure he could be. But why? It'd be an extraneous detail that wouldn't add to the story in the movie and would possibly constrain what they could do if they were going to make an original backstory for Snoke. I'm not convinced by the argument "he can't be original!" or "he can't be Plagueis!" It's probably one of those two options.

thrawn527 posted:Ewoks are cute. Porgs are cute. BB-8 is cute. Star Wars creates opportunities for merchandising. "Cool things aren't just there to sell toys, they're cool and I like them! I don't like this cute thing... therefore it only exists to sell toys." Cool things are cool and cute things are cute and this whole movie is indulgent feel-good entertainment. Nerds getting worked up about things that don't target them directly are pathetic. Porgs are cute.

Man, just imagine what it's going to be like when there's an actual major movie out with porgs in them. Feels like everyone's lost their poo poo one way or another over them and all we have is some merchandise... well, a whole ton of merchandise, and like half a second in a trailer.

Doronin posted:I think Solo is going to be fine. I really just want to see a Star Wars movies with fairly low stakes where some folks steal some poo poo. I don't really care about Han Solo, and people are right that giving him a backstory and explaining everything about him in one incident is kind of lame... but since I don't care about him, I don't care about all that. If you put that aside it looks like it'll be a fun crime adventure in the Star Wars world. That should be fun to watch.
