Star Wars Episode IX

No official title yet but the apparent subtitle is supposed to be Balance of the Force

The film opens 7 years after the events of The Last Jedi with the funeral of General Leia.

Rey, Finn, Poe and company are in attendance. Finn and Rose are now an Item and Rey is leader.

The funeral is attacked by the First Order and Supreme Leader Kylo Ren himself enters the battle.

He is badly injured when trying to recover something from Leia’s tomb and the entire building explodes and collapses. The state funeral and the tomb where a decoy/trap, Leia was buried weeks ago on Naboo alongside her mother.

First Order troops recover Rens badly injured body

Fin, Poe, Rey and Rose return to a secret military base on a mountainous planet

Ren is rehabilitated with cyborg limbs and becomes ‘Vader like’

More and more Force users emerge from the shadows and join the resistance

Meanwhile dozens of dark side force users join the First order

The main bulk of the film surrounds the search for the Prime Jedi, his tomb is lost

The films ends with the dark side and the light joining forces to bring down the Prime jedi, who is awoken and wants to destroy all force users.

Ren Saves Rey and kills the Prime Jedi. Rey unites the dark side and the light and brings Balance to the force once and for all.

Filming begins in spring

Someone wrote this and posted on digitalspy.com , tried to sell it as "found it on social media". Comments yawned.

@vaderito

@Kessel Cause it is a mixed of BvS and TA with SW characters. FAF thought nobody would notice. lol!

@ISeeAnIsland Mine too. I hope we get more soon. lol!

These FAF leakers are really creative. LF should hire them, because some of their ideas are better than what the official material offers.

This is not the first time I read that Leia's funeral as a trick idea or decoy idea. I predict it will re-appear in more crack leaks!

Regarding the leaks - was it only bothan spy who was the genuine leaker or any others ?
I have a feeling when we get the last Jedi novel that we might get surprises . Remember with Star Wars some things take place off screen and are eluded to later ie the force bond scenes we see might not be the only force bond scenes . After reading ohtze’s wonderful essay “ kill the king and take the crown”where she states at the end when rey closes the door on the millennium falcon and kylo looks up there is a zygote symbol next to rey on the falcon makes me wonder if a lot more happened between Kylo and rey .

@AhsokaTano

Bothan-Spy (Reddit) was legit.

Mr Ghostface (IMDB) was legit.

This guy was legit for about 60% (including that Finn and Poe went to Canto Bight - that was the original idea):

https://www.reddit.com/r/starwarsspeculation/comments/3xtld8/i_have_read_a_very_early_storyboard_for_episode/

The Pawn is legit, unfortunately. He gets to see movies before anyone else and is just an awful reporter who makes everything sound FAF.

UserAnon and Indominus-Rekt (Redditors) are legit. They also get to see movies early and are excellent reporters.

Reyloismine is legit but doesn't want to give details.

@vaderito
Pawn's description was so completely off from what was actually in the movie, it might as well have been FAF. He's legit, but not trustworthy.

Indominus-Rekt and UserAnon are great. We'll all remember that for next time.

I hope we get real spoilers before December.

@vaderito

If that early storyboard leak has some legitimacy (and wasn't just lucky guesses), there are a few interesting lines that could impact IX (assuming these were plot points that were cut/delayed for IX):

Kylo murders Snoke, having known all along Snoke was aiming to replace him before he grew powerful enough to overtake him, and declares himself ruler of the First Order. There is a slight rift among the troopers in whether they will follow Kylo or Hux.

And

Other tidbits include the mention that the Galaxy is absolutely war torn right now with no leadership and many systems just fending for themselves.

by vaderito Sat 13 Jan 2018, 4:26 pm

@ISeeAnIsland The leak was from end of December 2015 so that would be helluva lucky guesses just from watching TFA. Moreover, there's no way he could have guessed Casino Planet and decimated Resistance from a swift ground assault (that's Crait). Among other things.

The only glaring BS which is likely deliberate is that Kylo left Rey on Jakku.
