I'm really debating if I should stop clicking this thread or not.

Honestly, that lightsaber has seen. Some. ****.

Lived through most of the Clone Wars, then was used to murder younglings at the Jedi Temple, then was used in the climactic duel on Mustafar with the fate of the galaxy hanging in the balance. Then it lay dormant for 20 years before being used by his previous master's son, to fight the old master himself. And now 30 years later, it's about to see a whole lot more.

Just to manage expectations, I've heard Finn isn't trained in this movie. At least not formally. He may learn a few things here and there, but his training apparently happens in the next movie, by you-know-who.

Once the first full length trailer drops I'm out.

Ya I was thinking someone is around that's at least familiar with the force that shows him a few tricks like Luke gets from Kenobi in E4. Finn is the only one that can take him on at that time for some reason so he just nuts up and does it. I think it would be pretty cool if we saw Leia showing him the stuff based on her own training.

Isn't there some type of theory that Kylo isn't exactly a full Sith badass himself yet? That is why his lightsaber has the strange design because it was made in an unstable manner. If he isn't a full sith lord he may not overpower Finn immediately.

I must leave this thread. Must. Seeing more than I want to. But I am wondering if resistance is futile?

My latest wouldn't it be awesome theory:

The scene of Vader's crumpled helmet we see in the first full trailer? We know Kylo Ren is a fan of Little Orphan Ani, but perhaps that scene is part of the rumored Luke flashback, and it's actually Luke discovering the helmet in Kylo's quarters - say at his Jedi Academy - and then realizing that while Kylo is very talented, he's also dancing with the Dark Side and has to get kicked out.

Maybe he and Luke even fight or Luke considers him dead and thus the bonfire with his hand on R2D2.



On the more humorous side of things, if Finn knows Kylo Ren is obsessed with Vader, right before he draws the blue one, he should say, "Oh yeah, heard you had Vader's mashed-up helmet or something? That's cool, all I have is his original lightsaber." SNAP, HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Correct, but he's still had a lot more practice than Finn. I'm pretty sure something has to happen in the Finn / Kylo fight so that both live. Either Luke shows up or perhaps Rey helps Finn fight off Kylo.

How about this for a twist... She's a Solo (with Skywalker blood) and doesn't reveal herself until the very end and she's a bad ass Jedi. How? She's been secretly trained by Luke for years. The movie ends with her taking everybody to see her Master who's been hiding from everybody else for years.

I'm pretty sure there is no way for JJ and Co. to screw this up. There are dozens of paths they could go down regarding Luke and those that are force sensitive and they would all be awesome.

It is. I've left this thread many times.

Rocking this new background on my phone.

Oh ****...

Man I wish that were true.

EDIT - maybe I should have gone a page back before posting this

makingstarwars dot net has a link to a mini trailer on instagram. Less than 20 seconds but it good. actually got my heart rate up.

MiniTrailer - CAUTION BIG BIG REVEAL

I just thought of the parody trailer, Star Wars: The Binks Awakens. Jar Jar hanging off of an X-Wing blaster/laser canon would probably be one thing I'd like to see.

I won't lie. I've always been a bit curious as to what happened to Jar Jar after the Fall of the Republic. Does the Emperor "dispose" of him or does he just let him live on. Not like they used the Senate anymore

I always imagined this is how it went down
Robot Chicken - Jar Jar Returns

Robot choke is the most consistently funny thing on tv.

wow...

That's great.

In my Episode III fan fic circa 2001, Jar Jar went home and retired to Naboo and was a hero, but always felt regret for the way he effed everything else. That's right, I wrote a fan fic.

This was a really helpful video on the various Star Wars races. Didn't know about a few of these

His voice creeps me the **** out

Sorry - thought you were talking about Snoke / Serkis.

My thoughts exactly on Snoke's voice.

Yep, I noticed it too. Definitely different and definitely better. Not that it was bad the 1st time, but dang these people called actors really know their stuff. I couldn't even tell you exactly why, but it sounded more sinister for sure. Serkis is pretty good!

Agreed. And did you notice the voice has changed from the first teaser? A lot creepier / less cartoony. I really like it.

YES! The "Have you felt it?" line makes him sound like a soulless killer. Love it!
