Have you forgotten the duel against Kylo in TFA where Rey willingly opens up to the Force to defeat him. Then she stalks him like a predator after injuring him and is even willing to kill him if the ground didn't split up and separate the two. JJ confirmed in his commentary that he did this because otherwise Rey would kill him. And the novelization said that an evil voice was telling her to do this. Then in TLJ, we flat out hear Luke say that she didn't even try to turn away from the darkness and that it calls to her. And Kylo's vision that she will turn to the dark could align with what we've seen of Dark Rey.

A significant time skip? It's literally a few months, six at most, if even. In fact, I've heard a lot of people complain about how different Luke was in ROTJ versus TESB and how all his development was skipped over onscreen. There's nothing in TLJ that Rey does that I would find inconsistent with TFA.
It's generally assumed to be about a year between ESB and RotJ. Yea it's fairly quick but that's at least some time. Rey's abilities from TFA to TLJ are consistent, I find the problem more so about how quick her progression is in TFA. Sounds like the novels explained that though in a fairly convincing way with the mindmeld in the torture scene caused her to learn a lot of Kylo's stuff.

It's a theory that has been going around for a while, especially after this was released. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4k12QPAh_c

Have you guys really not seen that TV spot before? There's nothing I said that you wouldn't be able to piece together or assume from the content of that trailer.

I wonder if they will give Luke another movie after this. Who says they can't? And he clearly still loves the character.

Tho I will see if 8 even want that after this one.

I'm thinking cloning especially with the look at Dark Rey because of Baby Yoda in The Mandalorian and the Imperial scientist wearing the Kamino emblem. It can't be a coincidence that the penultimate episode is being released right before TROS' release so I think the episode will have heavy implications. Kenobi could be another possibility though although I think that will tie more into Mando with Kenobi making an appearance there and saving young Mando.
Unfortunately I have not seen the Mandolorian though a co-worker of mine has talked about it a bit. It would be pretty good if they somehow tied it into the movies though. I am kind of leaning towards Rey being a Kenobi because that might give them some material to work with in that show. But I also have no idea how they are going to bring Palpatine back in a coherent way.

The leaks I have read I have not mentioned in any non-spoiler thread. The stuff I still do not know is what I am theorizing about like Rey's parents or how Snoke is connected to Palpatine. Y'all are absolutely paranoid.

If you've been in the leaks thread you shouldn't be theorising in no-spoiler threads full stop. That's just common sense and common courtesy.

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize you hadn't seen the show. Do you live in a country that doesn't have Disney+ and The Mandalorian yet? I'm assuming you are familiar with Baby Yoda though.

I mean it could be set between movies. Or maybe Luke didnt die?

I think having Luke just NOT die would be one of the biggest betrayals they could possibly do. "Surprise he was actually fine!" is a great way of even making it MORE clear that Lucasfilm hates TLJ, and that would be super cruel of them.

#1 I'm not your son or anybody's for that matter. Don't assume someone's gender next time around.

Ok. As somebody who has not seen any spoilers for The Rise of Skywalker I can say that nothing I have heard from ^ this person ^ has made me feel like they have been doing anything more than speculating. A lot of your responses have made me think that they might be right about some of that speculation though. Luckily I have heard so many theories that I don't know what to believe. But I would caution those who have read spoilers to hold their tongues when someone intentionally or unintentionally reveals something that happens in the movie. Your protest is actually revealing a lot more information than you probably are aware of.

I agree. I just think it could be something they do.

Wow I can't believe someone from the spoiler thread is ruining yet another Star Wars thread. Again.
I agree. But how would anyone who has not been in the spoiler thread know that a spoiler is a legitimate spoiler? Like I have heard some protests to some posts that I would not have necessarily believed were spoilers if It wasn't for people getting upset about them
