Rumor: First concept pictures of Star Wars 9

I think it's a metaphor for the fans connecting the conspiracy theories together.
Eh, I buy it. Kylo's driven by his insecurities, not his convictions.
It's funny, because Luke/Leia being siblings is so ingrained in Star Wars mythos now, it's hard to remember how in the context of just the OG trilogy, how stupid that plot twist was.
That Yoda line in Empire wasn't even referring to Leia at the time.
I didn't forget it, I literally mentioned it in the post you quoted.
Look where having one guy be the sole writer and director of a trilogy got us with the prequels. And that guy was Lucas, no less.
Before TFA, JJ and the team probably would've laid out a basic vision or possible end point for the ST. I'm sure it's been deviated from drastically in some cases, but you don't embark on something like this without at least considering where it could go by the end. And of course, unforeseeable events like the untimely death of Carrie Fisher could throw more spanners in the works, even if a trilogy has been meticulously planned out ahead of time.
With JJ returning, you will get some sense of continuity. Rian injecting his fresh ideas in the middle is the best thing that could've happened to this otherwise safe trilogy. Let's just be thankful Treverrow got the boot.

Should be the title of the official topic when the time comes.
Masked Kylo- Check
Nathan Drake'd Poe- Check
Lando look snazzy as ever- Check
Mon Cal identifying whether it has colour blindness- check
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
Now give us a decent RPG you wankers.

Basically. If there's one consistent thing about Kylo, it's him being emotionally insecure. Retreating to the facade of the helmet after his humiliating failure in TLJ completely fits his character
I heard that BDW has trouble with mobility so I'm not expecting muchSo take this with a grain of salt but thought i'd share it.
It's from reddit whether it's real it shows the first look at lando.
I hope they just give him a nice juicy cameo line or scene
For like the 90th time:
Rian's entire moral was not let the past die.
Its weird sooooo many people missed this.
Guess JJ is coming to give peeps that simplistic bliss.
Fuck it, I caved. I've been spoiled on every film thus far so I'm just accepting and embracing the dark side.
I do nooooooot like the mask returning so I hope that stays in concept art phase. This contradicts Kylo's character development which was carefully built over the course of two films. Yes it looks good. But it doesn't make a lick of sense for him, thematically.
Rey in white looks fantastic. Love the simplicity of her designs. I wonder if this is an ode to Leia's representation of hope in ANH.
The second to last alien concept looks great.

I really hope so but i don't see how JJ can save the insane mess TLJ is.
It's amazing how many people read the villain's motivation as both the movie's and the director's guiding moral.
If anything we're getting JJ is saving us from Rian based on reference photos lol
Alongside "this is proof RIan and JJ are fighting each other"
No way, his voice is stupid. TLJ, thank you at the start of the film.
I absolutely love that portions of the fanbase think two directors would subtweet each other through a multi billion dollar movie franchise
Excuse my slow brain, but I cannot figure out how to do spoiler tags, but possible spoilers below.
I read that Landos role will be very small. Very similar to Maz. The heroes will go to him for direction. Supposedly he will not have to move much, and he even has a very stylish Landoish walking cane as well.
Well that joke was in reference to the villain (getting rid of and then possibly bringing back his helmet) and not the entire movie
IKR? The entire third act of TLJ is about them rebuilding back their underdog hero/ empire villain dynamic. That said, I totally get if people find that approach boring and lame, but they should at least be consistent about their criticism :/
I mean... let the past die, right? Especially Ep VIII. It's in the past, let it die.
On topic: It's hard to tell if JJ can salvage this trilogy. F looks a bit like Lando's disguise. Rest is standard SW fare, which is to say, I like it.
I think Finn is gonna get a big comeback in IX. This is only one leaked image.
Kinda feel like bringing the bask back is going against his whole character arc in the last movie.
Except that...the point of the story was that he couldn't actually do that. Rey and Luke let the past go but he couldn't. Makes sense that he would go back to the Vader cosplay after being bitchslapped once again. He is a coward and a hypocrite.
Old Lando is going to be so good, such a shame we won't get a proper scene with him and Leia.
Well, like many ideals or personal philosophies, "let the past die" could be aspirational. Kylo could fail to live up to his own values. In fact, that's already a compelling element of his character.
Based on the bait and switch in the first movie and the absolute trash from the second, I doubt it. They got they wanted him from and now they're done.
