Star Wars better go to places we've never been before. I get why The Force Awakens drew so much from the original trilogy. It almost had to. They needed to restore the fan's faith and let us know we're not gonna move forward with garbage like the prequels and it will in fact be Star Wars the way we know it and love it. Now they can venture out now to uncharted territories as they should.

Poor Han has a funeral with no body. 

Because Han is going to crash his own funeral showing he's still alive.

New updates from MakingStarWars (the site that leaked like 85% of TFA's plot) suggests that the stuff shot at Croatia was really the exterior for a Casino/ Mega-Cantina setting that Luke goes to in the hopes of finding someone. Meanwhile, an attack happens that puts Leia in a coma, leading Laura Dern's character to taking over what's left of the Resistance, which apparently is now a very small group as a result of this supposed attack. Dern's character turns out to be either evil or just not all that good at leading, so Poe leads a mutiny and eventually becomes the new leader of the Resistance himself.

I just see these movies slowly weeding out the rest of the old crew. It wasn't a huge surprise to see Han killed off. Ford said he was tired of the character. It sucked. Maybe they're gonna fake his death, somehow. But doubt it. But I can see the Skywalker's being pushed off n murdered.

Cool stuff. The one picture with the stairs in it looks like it might be a set recreation of the Skellig Michael scene from TFA.

That was my thought as well. It looks like this might be the first SW film to pick up immediately after the previous one ended.

The two British princes visited the set recently and have been included in the movie as troopers.

 

Images from their visit also showed that VIII will have an A Wing fighter again.

The only thing giving this current one credibility is there's a potential poster for Celebration (The official Star Wars convention) that leaked, showing the title.

 

One of the rumored titles that was making the rounds a few weeks back was Echoes Of The Dark Side. I like that a lot better personally.

Echoes of the Dark Side is fake, as is that rumored plot that was proposed alongside it, with the reason being that said plot claimed Rey's abandonment happened at the same time as the downfall of Luke's Jedi order. We know now however, thanks to recently released spin-off book Bloodlines, that those two events actually happened many years apart and have nothing to do with eachother.

Fall of the Resistance may be real since it goes along with rumors coming from a much more credible source (MakingStarWars), but the man in charge of continuity as Lucasfilm said a few days earlier on Twitter that there was no title for VIII yet. I seriously doubt that they came up with a title and got it approved by all the necessary Lucasfilm, Bad Robot, and Disney execs in just two days.

Don't look unless you want to know who Rey possibly is:

  Hide contents

new rumor suggests that Rey is actually the reincarnation of the very first person to ever discover the force and begin the jedi order thousands of years ago.

 

I heard that rumor was debunked.

Really? Where?

EDIT: Nevermind I see now that it came from someone who apparently has been known to make shit up in the past and was apparently even referred to as an "idiot" and "liar" by the head of the Lucasfilm Story Group. Damn shame tho because I really liked this rumor! Lol
