Does anyone else expect Snoke to turn out to be a little dude like Yoda? The CGI hologram tried to make him look absurdly large so I think it must be compensating for his being really small.

Yes.

I am expecting that TCTTS hates Snoke as much as Maz.

Sounds like that's likely not going to be the case. Very mild spoilers about his appearance here...

Wasn't a huge fan of his design. He just felt like an even more f-ed up/gross version of the Emperor. Overall, TFA was very, "Let's do another Death Star... but bigger! Let's do another version of the Emperor... but uglier!" A lot of choices just felt like A New Hope on steroids, and Snoke's look was emblematic of that. I wish he would have had A) a more original appearance, and B) the tiniest bit of context provided as to who he was or where he came from. Just a hint. Or instead at least built up and acknowledged the mystery a bit more than they did.

That said, if they actually do a "real" Snoke this go around as rumored (i.e. puppetry, animatronics, or prosthetics), I think he could look a lot better/cooler in person, and of course I'm guessing we'll finally get at least an inclining of who he is and where he came from. Definitely not giving up hope that he could still turn out to be a lot more memorable.

This seems to back up the idea of Poe/Leia being at odds with Laura Dern's character, all within the ranks of the Resistance (extremely minor spoilers)...

Btw, how is that post/link for spoilers? It seems most everyone in this thread is ok speculating and knowing just a tad bit more than most, and while, again, we'll never get into spoilers beyond the broad strokes of the basic plot set-up of the movie, I just want to test the waters on linking to Making Star Wars articles like the above. I can totally dial it back if need be...

There's literally nothing in that tweet I find objectionable or really anything spoiler-ish. And your post doesn't really spoil anything that hasn't been rumored for months now either. The article itself doesn't tell us much more than what we already suspected.

I'm fine with it. If that bothers someone, I would suggest shutting off the internet.

Hoping all the talk about "the fleet" will give us an epic space battle in this one. Felt like TFA spent too much time on planets... even the two X-Wing / Tie Fighter battles were both planet side.

Yeah, that would be awesome. Would be cool to see The First Order finally catch The Resistance in an epic, climactic space battle... right as Rey/Luke show up as well, post-training, or having potentially been on the run.

It sounds like there are going to be two overarching plot-lines:

- The First Order hunting down The Resistance
- Kylo hunting down Rey/Luke in some form or fashion

I don't know if Rey/Luke actually ever go "on the run," though, as it sounds like Kylo might spend a decent chunk of the movie simply searching for Ahch-To?

Put me down on the "hope Luke lives" category.

I'm going to be crushed if Leia dies.

It feels like people are over thinking the title. We can't forget that 90% of the audience are casual fans and they can't get too out there with twists, etc.

Luke is the last Jedi. There are other force users, sure, but the Jedi are 1 guy away from being extinct. He is TLJ right now. We know this already.
Just my opinion, but I think that Disney is putting more in to the titles, giving them more meaning, then either the OT or the prequels.

The Force Awakens, at least to me, was more than just another Star Wars title. It was mentioned by Snoke. Confirmed by Kylo. I would be willing to bet that in the opening sequences of TLJ it is mentioned by Luke as well, that he felt it too. The "awakening" is the series of improbable events unfolding, pulling together old friends and former alliances. It's the force guiding a young woman who possesses powers she didn't know existed and that the galaxy had en large believed gone forever.

In that light, I think The Last Jedi is going to mean more than just the captain obvious "Luke is in fact the last Jedi". I mean, it is a foregone conclusion that Luke is going to train her to be a Jedi in some capacity. So if Luke doesn't make it, she becomes The Last Jedi.

Or

TLJ ends with Rey leaving behind Luke and the Resistance and going with Kylo or just going rogue? We know there will be some big reveals. What if we have a reveal on the level of "I am your father"? What if Luke had a hand in dumping Rey on Jakku? What if he conceals that from her and then she finds out? Not saying she will go dark side as a permanent measure or even that she goes dark side at all, but just leaves.

I think one way or the other, TLJ ends with Luke dead and Rey becomes the last Jedi, or Luke lives, Rey bails, and thus Luke remains the last Jedi.

Okay, so the Resistance is now a fleet on the run from the pursuing First Order. And there are divided factions with groups struggling to wrest control from the more military leaders of the fleet? With heroic fighter pilots protecting the fleet from enemy assaults?

Where have I heard this before?

Oh, yeah:



Maybe it's time for BSG to get a little payback by suing SW over these plot similarities?

Well hopefully episode IX doesn't have them leave the far. far away galaxy, end up in this one, and form the initial earth civilizations, a long time ago, I will be ok.


I guess that means Poe is a FO sleeper agent and doesn't know it. GAH

You left out the part about the sneak attack that left the the Republic's homeworld and most of it's military being destroyed.

Most thought they wouldn't kill off the entire Rogue One crew, but this would be another level.

Luke allows her to kill him to " go to the dark side," but her reason was to save Kylo her cousin.

Basically why Luke fell in the old EU. Had to learn the Dark Side to try and defeat the resurrected Emperor, but couldn't pull himself out of it.

The Sci-Fi BSG is one of the greatest science fiction series ever put on television.

Oh, and I was being facetious about the lawsuit.

The new BSG was too dark and moody, I liked the old school version with Lorne Greene and that Face guy as Starbuck.

It's called MoodKiller Base. Every time somebody unclasps a bra it sends in a fart or a call from grandma.

I just met Rian Johnson and took a pic with him at Celebration. In the queue hall waiting for the Last Jedi panel in 9.5 hours. 3000 plus fans in here and Rian signed our badges, shook hands, and took pics with all of us. Awesome dude!
