Please don't make Rey a Skywalker (at least by blood). It would completely ruin her arc and one of the big messages of TLJ.

Definitely feels like a troll on Rian. You wanted imply any can be special?? naw son rise of the fuckin skywalkers
Yup, massive retcon
But that's also fine, in a way ... Like, Rian rather 'selfishly' steered the Saga into a very new, very specific direction. Maybe, in retrospect, he should've done that with his own trilogy.

Also Luke's line - "No one's ever really gone..."

Palpatine tease. "Rise of Skywalker"

There's a lot of deep lore about how Palpatine has orchestrated much of the fall of the Empire. It's showing maybe a piece of the Death Star. I could see them searching for a MacGuffin left by the Emperor.

The Skywalker part I don't think is a slight on Rian. The movie is about the End of the Skywalker story. I think it means something more symbolic than that.

Death Star II dish means they must be back on Endor, which confirms that they're using elements from George's VII plot.

I thought I was a fan but apparently not good enough.

Emperor/senator Palpatine is Lord sidious right?
Why does everyone refer to him as sheev? Wtf is sheev?

Rey's not a Skywalker yet. She'll ask Force Ghost Luke if she can use the name because the galaxy needs them

Man they really have no original ideas if they're bringing back Palpatine.

The game and TV show are our only hope.

They have been going in on the whole operation cinder in the EU for a while. Doubt we will be seeing a live Palpatine running around. Please don't have a live Palpatine running around.

Everyone thinking this means Rey is a Skywalker. I doubt it.

Most likely it's Kylo and Rey teaming up to take down, uh...Palpatine. The Skywalker legacy is finally fulfilled.

I always thought that line at the beginning of the Force Awakens teaser sounded more like a Palptine thing than a Snoke one
