Episode IX: Spoilers and Rumors

Even if it has to come to an end after this film I'm sure it'll be a memorable 4-5 years for all of us. We've come so far.

It's just me, or anybody else is loving the Middle Ages vibes coming from Kylo's fight in his teaser's scene?

I wonder if the cast and directors of the ST come out for another panel now that they'll be able to actually talk about things openly, even the blu-ray will be out.

The alien with the furry hands seems to be working with the  resistance/rebellion  and fixing Kylo’s helmet

I heard in the what the force podcast today that there is a hint of the ewok theme at the end of the trailer - when they are looking at the death star:

if this is the case it would seem the death star shown here is death star II, which means the gang may be standing on Endor.. maybe? the starwars databank says Endor had grasslands and mountains - which matches the footage we've seen so far.. we can see mountains behind the gang.

I was leaning toward it being Yavin 4 and first death star.. but this musical ewok nod, if correct, seems to rule that out.
anyone cluey about music able to educate me?

BTW as tidbits are starting to be revealed, we are going to draw different conclusions sometimes.. and that's okay.    I am looking forward to just enjoying this process of having things be slowly revealed.. It's going to be a thrilling year!  happy speculating..


edited to add: interesting if this is Endor - Poe's mother was in the squadron that brought down that Death Star!

Just to preface this. I work in advertising. A lot of my colleagues have friends over in CA and one of my editors is friends with someone who happens to be close with an employee of LF. Unfortunately thats all I know. But two years ago, he was yapping with us about some concepts from TLJ that were do detailed and then I saw them on the screen.

I dont normally do leaks, but here they are. Take it for what it is.

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.


Thats it. I find it interesting. If these all do come to fruition then I think episode 9 might be pretty bonkers. The image leaks already look like something out of Thor Ragnorak.

Trailer's right around the corner, but what the hell. Let's do this again.

Don't read unless you want to be spoiled

-there's a JJ-worthy insane twist in literally the first 3 seconds or the film

-some very persistent rumors/speculation are true, but that plot point gets one-upped by something new and weird pretty quickly (not Rey's parentage)

-the end of the Rebel show was essentially a prequel to the major thrust of IX's plot

-there are many unused plot points from VII that ended up being included here

-the end of the movie will be controversial because it's not actually an ending

-you can figure out the subtitle by combining the first letters in VII's with the theme of VIII's

-the e

The twist is in the crawl.

The subtitle is The First Apprentice.

-C-3PO's arm is the most important object in the Star Wars saga

The one Anakin salvaged from the scribe who copied the Journal of the Whills for the Hutt historian Eannatum.

Snoke is dead.

The first line of the opening crawl is about who Palpatine really was.

People are really going to hate the answer (and Matt Smith).

Another insider here, this is not a larp.
The crawl pretty much reveals that Palpatine is Anakin's father.
BUT.
It does so in a non-direct way, by stating that he lives through his ancestors, Leia and Kylo.
There's also a titbit plot about Leia refusing the Jedi training because she knew Palpatine lived inside her head in a way, it's like a DNA memory but with The Force.
C3PO is the MacGuffin, although I didn't hear about his arm specifically, between his parts there's an ancient recording about a plan that Darth Bane has put in motion, so that through generations (which preserve his consciousness) he would eventually become so powerful that he could take over the galaxy (and his worthy ancestor also), which almost came to fruition with Vader and then with Kylo.
Matt Smith is Palpatine's first teacher Darth Bane. Bane is Luke Skywalker from the Legends timeline, who traveled across the dimensions. That is why Mark Hammil voiced Bane in the Clone Wars

Palpatine was Darth Plaguis, and Matt Smith's character was his master, 1000 years ago.

Snoke is the guy who tried to kill Plaguis.

A few words at the start of the film are a bit different, and there's a segment BEFORE the crawl.

Revenge of the Sith
"Once more the Sith will rule the galaxy!"
―Darth Sidious — Gnome-speakernotesListen (file info)[src]
The war's end in 19 BBY[9] saw the culmination of the Sith's millennium-long vendetta against the Jedi. Sidious declared himself Emperor and reformed the Republic into the Galactic Empire. To destroy the Jedi, Sidious issued Order 66, a command implanted in the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to kill the Jedi as traitors. In addition, Sidious seduced to the dark side Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, believed by the Jedi to be the Chosen One of prophecy who would destroy the Sith. The plans that started with Darth Bane had thus been fulfilled.[8]

However, the Sith victory proved short-lived, as Sidious met defeat during the Battle of Endor[10] in 4 ABY.[9] A redeemed Skywalker killed the Emperor, resulting in his own death,[10] but also ending the rule of the Sith[7] that Bane had set in motion over a thousand years earlier.[3]

About thirty years after the Battle of Endor,[11] Kylo Ren, master of the Knights of Ren and grandson of Anakin Skywalker, betrayed and killed Supreme Leader Snoke, his dark side master. Ren then took control of the First Order in an act of ascension worthy of Darth Bane's Rule of Two.[5]

The last leak was BEFORE MSW said the C3PO and his memories connected to the MacGuffin... MSW mention C3PO first in connection to MacGuffin in April! The hell of coincidence, right? Please tell me if I miss something.
