Episode IX: Spoilers and Rumors

A source close to us has informed us that Star Wars Celebration will make its return to Anaheim in the Fall of 2019. Specific dates were not given to us but we were assured the place was set.

This makes sense for a couple of reasons. Many assumed it would either return to Orlando or Anaheim for one key reason, the Disney Star Wars theme park expansion Galaxy’s Edge. The new parks opening next year at both Disneyland and Disney World will undoubtedly be a huge attraction for the already insanely popular theme parks. The Galaxy’s Edge in Anaheim is opening before Orlando, and what better way to unveil the coolest theme park in the galaxy than a convention that just happens to be celebrating Star Wars? Imagine experiencing all of the convention’s panels and events during the morning and afternoon and be able to follow that up by experiencing the theme park’s planet Batuu at night!

On top of all of that, add the prospect of likely getting that final full theatrical trailer and panel for Episode IX, and you are in Star Wars heaven. We will likely also get some more information on the Rian Johnson trilogy, the Benioff and Weiss film series, the live action TV shows, animated series, and all of the other massive amounts of Star Wars content coming our way in the years to come. The future of Star Wars is bigger than anything we’ve experienced, which sets 2019 up as the biggest Star Wars Celebration of all time.

We will keep you updated once there is official word from Disney and Lucasfilm, but we were confidently told that Star Wars Celebration will happen in Anaheim, CA in the Fall of 2019.

I assume Luke will appear and that this will happen with him as well. Anakin... well, since I think Anakin is either Rey or Ben (or the two of them together) then he is already where he needs to be.

So anyway, it makes sense (Yoda coming back), though the details are probably incorrect.

Rey: Who the hell are you?

Kylo Rey wrote:Yeah I'm really skeptical about this, especially as it doesn't line up with the marketing for TFA and TLJ. Why mess with an already established formula? Also the new Galaxy Edge parks are rumoured to have their grand opening in April-May 2019, which is a perfect opportunity to take advantage for brand synergy etc. Not to mention having it in the autumn/winter time would take away a bit of the hype (especially for the attendees) as we would have had a poster, images, trailer etc. by then, and they're obviously not going to wait until that point to debut it as it's too close to the December release date. We should get an official announcement soon anyway, maybe May the 4th.

@Kylo Rey

Where did you hear that Galaxy Edge is opening next spring at Disneyland?  That's great news!  I was at Disneyland last week and asked a couple employees (who were standing near the blocked off entrance to Galaxy's Edge) when they were going to be finished with construction and open to the public...they had heard it was late 2019 (sometime in the fall).  These employees may not know anything though...so I am excited if it is opening next spring instead of fall!

Side note: The 2019 D23 Expo (all things [including Star Wars] Disney convention) is being held in Anaheim, CA  August 23-25, 2019.  To me, it would seem strange to have Star Wars celebration in the same location only a month or two after that...but who knows.  I know that GE at Disneyland is slated to open before it does at WDW...so having Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, CA around Disneyland's GEs opening would make sense.  We will just have to wait and see!

He says Snoke had to die so Episode 9 focuses on the conflict between Rey and Kylo without Snoke getting in the way.

vaderito wrote:YES! YES! 4chan finally releases spoilers!

'm sure you guys are DYING to know how the sequel trilogy ends so I'm here to give a summery of the events. I only got one read through and the script may or may not have been finalized, so possibly expect some changes from now to release.

>Working Title: Project Omnivore
(don't expect this to be even close to the final title)
>5 year time skip since Episode 8
>Leia has died offscreen
>Since the end of TLJ, Rey has gone into hiding and Kylo has turned The First Order into a makeshift search party. All former operations have cieced and the First Orders one and only command is to find Rey.
>This infuriates General Hux who has essentially lost everything and now must either follow Kylos rediculous orders or be killed.
>He enlists the help from The Knight's of Ren, to over throw Kylo and bring back the First Order to it's former glory.
>The Knight's have almost zero loyalty to the FO, however they are furious that their leader has lost his way, and intend to get revenge on Kylo for "abandoning his lineage"
>Rey has spent the last 5 years with a new name, living in a coruscant-like city. It's imied she uses the force to scam people for money to survive. At this point she has clearly accepted the dark side as part of her.
>She has infrequent, but occasional contact with Luke's force ghost.
"Why are you doing this, Rey?"
"You're one to talk! Suddenly you are above running from your problems!?"
"The dark side... Look what it has done to you."
"You were right about the Jedi! I read the books, everything you said was right! What is even the point?"

There is a very small side plot about Fin and Poe attempting to take advantage of the Chaos in the First Order. They attempt to recruit a new small army, however it only took up maybe 25 percent of the script I read. A new character is introduced named Rawlguu, a Rodian who had his home taken by the First Order. The characters refer to him as "Role". Rose is around too but she barely is in the plot at all.

ust to be clear, I'm kinda skipping around a bit for my own convenience.

>It is revealed early on that Hux is holding onto a small box containing what he says will "save the first order". Kylo doesn't know about it however the Knight's due. He obsessively carries it with him at all times.
>Also unknown to Kylo, the Knight's are in possession of Vaders helmet, which Kylo presumed was destroyed on Starkiller Base

Late in the film:
>Kylo finds out that the Knight's have Vaders helmet. He immediately flips out and shouts at them to "LET ME SPEAK TO HIM"
>Hux looks visibly confused but the Knight's bring him the helmet out of fear of being killed.
"Speak to me! Speak to me! I know you know where she is!"
>The room fills with fog
>Anakin Skywalkers force ghost stands before Kylo, invisible to the Knight's and Hux
>The ghost is clearly not stable. It frequently morphs from Anakins human face to Darth Vaders inhuman mask.
"And what makes you so sure?"
"You always know! You know so much about her but you can never tell me why!"
"There are some things best left unsaid"
"Please! I beg of you! I just need to talk to her again! You have no idea how important this is to me!"
"...She is on Frantuna"

>Later, Rey is confronted by Kylo in her room, after he kills a leading First Order general, infuriating Hux sparking his final move to assassinate.
>She panics but soon realizes Kylo is not there to capture her. Instead he calmly sits on the bed and insists they speak together.
>"None of this makes any sense to me. I thought the Jedi were going to save the Galaxy"
"I realized the mistakes I have made. The light side has brought me nothing. The dark side has only ever brought me pain."
>Rey hands Kylo one of the Jedi texts
"These have tought me so much. More than you could ever imagine."
>Kylo opens the book and reads a word out loud. "The Bendu."

>Rey's door bursts in and Hux is standing before them holding his dumb little box
"It's time to go".
>He grabs Rey and shouts for one of the Knight's of Ren to assassinate Kylo
>Kylo stands up and lifts his hand toward Hux, however before he can finish the gesture, Hux is stabbed through the back.
>One of the Knight's of Ren is standing behind him
"My loyalties have only ever lied with you, Blood of Vader"
>Kylo realizes that behind the door, the other Knight's are dead as well
>Kylo picks up the box Hux was holding and opens it
>A look of disgust comes acceoss his face and Rey takes a step back in fear
>"What the hell is this?"
>Suddenly the room yet again fills with fog. Rey is visibly horrified.
Anakins voice:
"Have you ever heard the tragity of Darth Plagueis the Wise? He was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful he could influence the midichlorians to create life.
I am that life.
Young girl, you too, are that life."
>We see in the box what looks like a fetus. Slowly pulsating and regrowing into what could almost be considered humanoid
"It was thought to be ironic. Fools believed he could save others from death, but not himself. They were incorrect."
>Rey falls backwards
"I-is that-"
"He has gone by many names. You would have known him as Snoke"
>Another voice. This one Luke's.
"We had our suspicions when you were an infant, Ben. I believed you were his newest spawn, much to the horror of Han and Leia. I was wrong.
>He motions toward Rey
Yoda:
"The girl, it was. Young Rey created with the intention to carry on his dark legacy. Born from the force, to a mother who never expected her. Feared her."
Obi Wan Kenobi:
"He is a force that will never truely go away. As long as there is light-"
>He glares downward at Snoke
"There will always be dark"
>Kylo closes the box
Rey:
"What does this mean? What do we do?
>The fog vanishes leaving with one last line by Luke
"Trust in the force"

Kylo looks up at Rey and grabs the stack of Jedi texts.
>They both leave the room with a look of content satisfaction.

>Suddenly a yellow lightsaber swings through the air
>We see Rey instructing a group younglings on proper form. They train with their own smaller lightsabers, all of which are white. It is clear years have passed since the confrontation in Reys room
>In the background is a massive castle on what looks like Ahch-To.
>Kylo Ren has a line of more younglings following him
>One of the younglings comes up to Rey and tugs on her cloak
"Master Skywalker?"
"Yes young one?"
"One of the other students took my toy away from me. I hate him!"
"Hatred is all part of the Bendu Order. Being angry or frustrated brings passion. However, use your anger to find a satisfying solution. Do not release it as violence unless the situation absolutely calls for it."
>Kylo calls for Rey and waves her into the castle
"It moved again."
"That would make sense. Many of the younglings don't understand true balance yet. Some of them want to always resort to violence, some of them are borderline passifists."
"You don't think-"
"I doubt it. It has been months since 'he' grew at all. As long as there is balance, there is no growth"
>Another one of the kids calls from outside
"Master Solo!"
"Coming, Ben!"
>Kylo and Rey both leave the room. The camera pans up to the daylight sky

>DIRECTED BY JJ ABRAMS

So that's what you are going to get for better or for worse. I cut out a lot of the less interesting stuff or the details I was fuzzy on.

I needed a good laugh and this delivered the goods. My god the Snoke in the box though I'm hoping this is the first of many crazy "script leaks" to come.

People smarter than me call this the Fetus Leak and Hux's box the Magic Fetus Box.
