I was just about to say it's a shame Ventress wasn't in the movies, she could have fit in well into the prequels.
And if Grievous wasn't made out to be a joke of a character I think he would have been great for all three movies.

Looking at that image, a thought popped in my head. Could that be Reys mother?
It could just be some dream sequence or vision or any number of things where being #TeamDark has started having its effect on her as it has been shown to do to others.
This is way more interesting to me than Rey being turned, tbh.
I was wondering about this, I thought her face kinda looked off in that shot. Her face plus the camera movement and the silly lightsaber made for a really weird looking shot.
We got Y and B Wings!
Yeah. With JJ Abrams distinct lack of space.
Taking the space out of Star Trek and Star Wars since 2009.
He's even shoehorned an ocean in same as he did with Star Trek.
Meh. It looks cool and in these type of movies that's all that matter
Big Rey is the bad one
Small Rey is the good cute one
Rey has to be an illusion like Luke's phantom Vader from Dagobah. That cave was strong with the Dark Side and the Emperors death surely made it the same.
But it could be any number of things.

Not expecting much. Rey going to the darkside would be pretty flat...i mean we already had that in the prequels leading into the original series. Not much interesting shown there to be honest. The is trilogy has lacked the world building that is probably Star Wars greatest strength. It doesn't have the scale
Rey falling at least temporary and having to be saved would be a lot more interesting then the opposite. I mean Luke flips out in Episode 8 over just how quick and easy it is for Rey to just fall into the lure of the Dark Side. Palpatine being the manipulative bastard he is should have no problem being able to at least lure her into embracing darkness even if only at a superficial level. Its going to be some sort of vision though I am sure.
Couldn't this exactly describe the original trilogy? And even more so given the context of the prequels?
But he even uses the crossguard. So it does make sense. And still...
It's telling how the cinematography and characters in the originals are still by far the most iconic.
The sequel trilogy has been so disappointing

So Sheev, potentially a clone himself, has a clone Rey that will fight our hero Rey in a fight reminiscent of the Duel of the Fates Darth Maul fight in Phantom Menace. Probably not one word of that is true, but since we're guessing.
I don't even think Sheev will be in the movie much tbh, like if he's their big hook then how come he's only in the trailers in short voice clips and his addition to the poster looks so last-minute? Just looks like a marketing hook and his actual role in the movie will be fairly minimal. Like a flashback or something
Doesn't really make sense why they would visit the ROTJ Death Star unless he was there.
Unless they turn up there to pick up some Death Star laser tech to destroy that fleet.

I was about to complain about the fact that the person who gave Anakin his scar does so offscreen in the movies and is never even mentioned outside of the EU and didn't even get proper character development until the Clone Wars by Dave Filoni.
More proof that TPM was an absolutely useless movie. Then I remembered that George signed off on a lot of gross shit for Natalie Portman's outfit. And so Ventress likely would've been creepy too instead of badass liek this:
I hope we one day get a live action Ventress on Disney+
I sincerely hope no clone nonsense appears in this movie regarding Rey.
Honestly kinda dislike that this Dark Rey thing was even revealed at all. It's too much of a big deal and is going to color the discussion negatively imo. I want Rey to be the Hero, I hope this dark Rey is just a force vision either she has or better yet Ben has.
For the past four years any time someone has said OO it'd be so badass if Rey went to the dark side, I just want to cringe.

Yep. She's Anakin reincarnation but this time she'll bring total unbalance to the force.
This has to be a vision or flashback.
No way is Rey going down the dark side at this point.
If it was going to happen, it should have happened last movie. It might have been interesting to see both Rey and Kylo flip sides of the force and then spend maybe a half to an almost full movie length exploring that story beat only to have them both settle into some grey area at the end.
What's more interesting to me is what will happen to Kylo Ren. Will he be the hero at the end or will he go out like the little punk bitch we've seen the last two movies? I can't see any redemption for him after committing patricide to a beloved character. And we know he's not going to be the ultimate big bad of the last film so i'm Very interested to see how he's ultimately handled and what his fate will end up being.

Do we have a run time yet?
Too many characters, too many dangling threads across all the films really for them to go in some crazy, exposition-heavy needed change direction me thinks. JJ likes to keep things brisk and digestible.
I'm stoked, I just want good character moments and a conclusion that makes sense given the past - even if it's not super satisfying in itself

To be fair, Tolkien didn't infodump all the ring, Nazgul and Sauron stuff at the beginning like Peter Jackson did. It was more of a slow burn.
I do agree this SW trilogy has an odd arc, based on what we have seen so far.
Not yet. J.J. likes to keep his movies around 2 hours long, so it will probably fall somewhere between 2 and 2 and half hours. Some sites have tried to pass off the amount of music that John Williams is reportedly writing as a runtime, but that's not the best barometer. Not all music written for a movie gets used and not all parts of the movie have music. (But in case you're wondering, he's apparently writing roughly 140 minutes of score).
She's not really into the sith thing after the Clone Wars though, right? I would think maybe Barriss Offee could also show up as some Sith wannabe. I love to hate Barris because Ahsoka saved her ass twice and she still turned traitor on her.I was about to complain about the fact that the person who gave Anakin his scar does so offscreen in the movies and is never even mentioned outside of the EU and didn't even get proper character development until the Clone Wars by Dave Filoni.

Ventress's storyline after the Clone award is quite tragic.
Man imagine if Rian did episode 7 and the JJ got a hold of episodes 8 and 9 inslired by thst fuck it doing something I feel right attitude. 7 wouldn't have been a wank fest and 8 and 9 could have built off of Johnsons idea of a sequel trilogy. Could have been amazing.
God yes!! JJ just set up ideas and said "your problem now" on his way out the doors.
Vampires!!!
What if Rey just uses the power of the Dark Side without letting herself be consumed by it?
People who think she's a Mary Sue would complain a lot, though haha

I don't know about that. The grandson and heir of Vader in more ways than one (the hair, the slightly inexplicable internal conflict) is way more interesting. Unless of course they pull some "it was Sheev all along" business with the birth of Anakin, then that would be something simlar (he would be a sort of the great grandson to Sheev).
Otherwise the setup seems pretty simple, Sheev wanted super powered Anakin, then that got fucked up, Sheev wanted reasonably powered Luke, then that got fucked up, Sheev wanted super-powered Ben. Then enter super-powered Rey as an alternate. I mean, bad wizard wanting young body is pretty standard stuff they could lean into that would only require one line of exposition to get things moving. Maybe this Dark Rey is a clone of our Rey, who is not a clone. That wouldn't be too bad.
I would of course welcome something completely left-field. Loved when VIII blew my expectations out of the water for something more meaningful, would love for that to happen again.
