Thanks, R0GUE. I'm also enjoying TCTTS's speculation.
Reading some of the other "fan-fiction" predictions is just brutal.

quote:I wouldn't think much of it, but then I remembered that interesting bit of trivia I posted last week, about Benicio del Toro being the original actor cast for Darth Maul before dropping out. And we know he was cast for Ep VIII.
On a mission to Naboo yes, a shoutout to the prequel trilogy! Leia has a moment of unexpected premonition, sensing what definitely seems to be Darth Maul, the Sith Lord killed in Star Wars: Episode I and later resurrected in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series. Not only is this one of the first times that we've seen Leia use the Force, but it's also a suggestion that Maul is, somehow, still around and on Naboo ... which could set up future plot lines for the movie or ancillary material. The Empire might think that the Force is meaningless, but that doesn't mean that other threats to the Rebellion agree, after all ...

quote:No it would not. It would mean Maul had laid around unknown for 50 years. And that it's possible to get cut in half, fall 500 feet, and be fine.
Maul being the mentor figure for Kylo would be pretty damn awesome.
quote:He survived to the part of Clone Wars where Palpy killed his brother and defeated him. Do you think Palps let him just hang out for the next 25 years?
He survived, that is canon regardless.

Sort of like how Palps let Yoda hang around for 20+ years?
quote:Fine, no pod racer for you. I was hoping to see you outside your house yelling "IT'S WORKING! IT'S WORKING!"
I didn't even say he was, I said it was interesting. Chill.
quote:My honest and sincere apologies! No intention of negatively spoiling what you might call a football team. In my defense... stay the freak off TexAgs if you are recording the game and are not caught up to real time. But otherwise, seriously, I meant no harm!

Don't you hate when you come to a thread not about football while starting to watch the game on DVR and some nerfherder spoils it for you?

quote:Love it. I have twin 3 year old daughters, and one is totally into Star Wars, the other only mildly (she prefers Frozen and such). They have a Star Wars ABC book, with has stormtroopers for 'S'. Today we watched one of the silly Star Wars dance videos they have at Disney World, and my SW -loving daughter said, "Look, Daddy, a bunch of stormtroopers just walked out!"
I introduced my two older kids to Star Wars (Episodes IV & V so far) within the past week. My son just turned 3 and my daughter is 4.5 -- they love it. They've asked to watch just about every day. Today we were watching Empire and my daughter and I had this conversation:
Her: Dad, what are those red things coming out of the Empire [AT-AT]?
Me: Lasers. It's their kind of bullets.
Her: Right. But it's not bullets. They're lasers made from a hint of fire and just a hint of sticks and wood."
Me: That sounds right.
