Apparently Mark Hamil is Force sensitive and can see into the future (well, almost):


And with regards to the leaked storyline that was posted a few pages back, sounds good, but I just hope they address this one point that had me scratching my head, instead of using it as a Plot McGuffin:
So they find Luke's hand on a desert planet? How did it end up there instead of falling into Bespin's gas giant's core?

As for the teaser, now that I've had a chance to watch it a few times and think it over: I like it. It doesn't say shit, but looks good. The only thing that I don't like is the lightsaber. And it's not because of some physics/lore/practicality argument, I just don't like it. But that's no game breaker for me.

I'm going to allow my hopes to get up for it.

Plot almost sounds too good to be true. Probably is.

If Von Sydow's character is from the previous films... who is he? Emperor Palpatine? That's way too dumb. If he's a cyborg it means he either is replacing failing parts (old) or he got fucked up (Anakin style). Not sure anyone falls into that category except Palpatine maybe. Literally trying to think of humanoids from episode IV-VI and the only people that could fit the part are people from Episode I-III... Dooku? Qui-Gon? WEDGE ANTILLES?!?! No clue.

Does everyone remember when metal gear solid 2 came out and kojima trolled everyone with raiden? Then he super trolled everyone and turned him into the new cyborg ninja that everyone had no choice but to love?

Max von sydow is jarjar.

This movie is such a big deal it's one of those things where I want a taste of what I'm in for, but unfortunately you have to get the full fucking package. I want to go in and be like "damn! Vader is Luke's dad?!?!" like everyone else, not just turn to my friend and give a knowing smirk like other movies.

Clone Palpatine actually sounds right. That's why he could be neutral or just slightly evil. But 'normies' would hate that shit while book nerds might love the nod to that whole shizz.

Check out this comment from that Reddit thread:

(If you don't want spoilers, SERIOUSLY, don't click this. If accurate it spoils probably the biggest plot reveal in the movie.)

"I posted this in a reply to a comment but I'll flesh it out more fully in a direct reply to the post itself:

Theory regarding Max Sadow's character. Or whoever plays the cyborg hanging out with Daisy Ridley's Character.

That character is Boba Fett.

Think about it- Boba Fett supposedly died on Tatooine. He was in both the prequel trilogy as well as the original trilogy, and he is a fan favorite. If the opening act is indeed on Tatooine, then having a big reveal be that Boba Fett is still alive would be awesome, and fit with the character being created in the concept art.

Cybernetics would have been needed to survive, most likely, after escaping a Sarlaac.

Furthermore, Boba Fett, as a former bounty hunter, would be described as neither a 'good' nor 'evil character. And, if after his injuries from the Sarlaac Boba Fett decides he no longer wants to participate in the galaxy at large, Boba Fett would certainly need some sort of hobby. Why not collecting artifacts from all of the famous events he was directly impacted by?

The Jedi killed his father. He was 'killed' by a Jedi. He worked for Darth Vader. Collecting Vader's helmet as well as other force relics makes a lot of sense for someone with a huge bank account somewhere and nothing else to do after he hung up the blaster.

Plus, it was mentioned that the cyborg was codenamed in the concept art under a mandalorian name.

I think we have ourselves a key character returning.

Edit: So people have been mentioning the fact that Sadow does not look much like a New Zealander, the ethnicity of Fett. This problem is solved by the fact that Boba Fett fell into the Sarlaac, which, if I remember correctly, has digestive juices that would most likely permanently scar someone. Such as in the form of burns to the skin, completely changing their appearance (as well as the need for cybernetics). If this character is boba fett, his look, disregarding the fact that he will be a lot older as well, is going to be completely different because he fell into the Sarlaac and was gravely harmed from that ordeal."


I know the original leak guy says the script "99.99 percent ignores the EU" but this also makes sense since Fett is one of the only beings known to have ever escaped the Sarlacc. Also makes sense that it would be Fett since he's incredibly popular for what was originally kind of a bit character, as evidenced by how hard they wanted to shoehorn him into the prequels. Not sure how I feel about this, could be great if done well, or having Fett in there could be awful and corny too.

I agree with that analysis, IF that part of the "leak" turns out to be true, it'd make sense. And be pretty cool.

I aint putting trust in leaked scripts.

Why wouldn't he just be a son if it was a fett? The movie fett was not worth a plot contrivance. i am all about the "mandalorians dying with fett"

Also 10 bucks on yoda brought back from the dead or force ghosting everywhere. For no reason but fan service.

However if Mark Hamill breaks out the "luminous beings are we" quote i will cry like a sissy fanboy.
Its entire principle theme of being a jedi. And it's overlooked so much since empire strikes back.

Also makes sense considering he's the only prequel character besides Anakin who was young enough to really be around still, other than like Luke/Leia, the droids and Chewy of course, which we already knew about for this movie anyway and we know won't be that character.

Someone in the prequels young enough to still be alive in Ep7 and on Tatootine? Only one answer: Boba Fett.

EDIT:Slow and beaten to the punch.

If that spoilered plot is true, then holy fuck this could turn it around for Star Wars.

The leak mentions:

When asked whether Han dies, Spoiler Man replied that he will "not spoil the third act."
then later states ...

Isaac is an ace pilot with the last name "Darklighter" who's been fighting the Imperial forces for years now. He's a bit of a hot shot.

He inherits the Milennium Falcon and is implied to be Kira's eventual love interest.
That means than unless Han just gives him the Falcon for some reason, he must die at some point in the movie. If any of it is true obviously.

Also it looks like the pic of the silver "Sith trooper" posted earlier in the thread is actually an inquisitor.

Spoiler tags?

Edit: N/m you fixed

If that plot is legit I actually have hope for the new trilogy.

If those leaks are true, I am looking forward to this movie. Those story line ideas sound perfect to what would be expected in many ways. The one spoiler line that made me smile was the description of the setting of the movie.

"The film is dystopian and darker than Empire."

I am hoping we are done with the kid puppets and the "oh how cute races". Robot cuteness is "ok" because it keeps in line with technology. I hated the Ewoks and really enjoyed the Family Guy episode that mocked that silliness. I enjoy humor. Humor allows for a moment of reprieve from the darkness of the reality. The contrast actually can work very well if done right. That being said, the dialogue might be what makes or breaks this movie.

Dear HBO:

Now that we know that Game of Thrones ends with Season 7 perhaps you guys could work on the next big thing. Could you please create the Star Wars universe with the same "Rated R" tone that Game of Thrones has? It is a shame that Disney would never go for it.

Yeah, I really hope the dark tone is true. I stopped reading a bit into it, as I don't want to know all of it, assuming it's real.
