    Rey is not a Skywalker. Let the theory die….

      i hate that Rey skywalker theory.

      Dominik Kulcsár What about Reylo? Oh know, how dare you say that! How dare you imagine things that aren’t based off my opinion!

      I keep trying to figure out how they would tell that story and it being satisfying to the viewers and I can’t figure it out!! To put Han or Leia in the role of abandoning a child just doesn’t fit. I guess if Han didn’t know , maybe, but I hate that trope.

    I’m excited to hear about the new locations and characters. Jannah, Pryce, and Zorri all seem interesting. Pasaana and Kijimi look incredible thus far, and I imagine the forest planet that bleeds into a sprawling settlement (where IX is said to begin) is none other than Batuu, which would allow for some cross-promotional synergy with Galaxy’s Edge.

    Rey is NOT A SKYWALKER. I know that Kylo can be manipulative, but honestly I believe Rey is one of the only people he wouldn’t lie to. Maybe there is a little more to who Rey’s parents are, but I truly believe that Kylo thought what he was saying was true, and I also believe that Rey can be powerful in the Force and as a jedi WITHOUT her parents being really important and powerful themselves.

      Ah yes being honest to the woman who you just met a couple of weeks ago and who stabbed you in the face and humiliated you

      +Alexis Collins yeah. Kind of dumb but obviously that’s Kylo’s/Ben’s swag. He also wasn’t even angry at her for this as you can see at the start of TLJ. No yelling at her at all.
      He spat venom at Luke smack talking about “destroying her” but weirdly enough, when he actually saw her, he was on his knees, crying when he realized that she would leave him/that he has lost her (for now) and bowing his head in defeat. So much for “destroying her”. There was no anger in his face or in him when he saw her for the last time in TLJ.

    Pryde is definitely not Hux’s father; Phasma novel solidified that pretty well. Still gonna be interesting to see what part he plays!

    KoR are the new capitan phasma. Pointless because there’s no time left.

    • Chase Hildenbrand

      Jabba is pointless. We’re going into the 3rd film and there’s just no time left.

    General Armitage Hux’s father was Brendol Hux. He died in the book Phasma. I don’t know what “fans” would theorize that Grant is Armitage Hux’s father…

    it makes me so sad to think of what the sequel trilogy could’ve been

    • LunaGer

      May 22, 2019 at 6:44 pm

      It’s been wonderful

  11. qsqzqz

    5:35 priceless “Rian that is so stupid, we won’t have broom boy in the movie” so it looks like this guy and J.J. Abrams are not showing much love for The Last Jedi

  12. Evan

    May 22, 2019 at 6:38 pm

    New trilogy still sucks. Tell us a story that’s at least a bit compelling, please.

    • LunaGer

      May 22, 2019 at 6:47 pm

      Evan, this one is incredibly compelling. Sorry it’s not your thing. Can’t please everyone

    • Nate Swithins

      May 22, 2019 at 6:59 pm

      +LunaGer It really isn’t the only reason it’s remotely compelling is its ties to the Skywalker saga but it doesn’t earn it.

  13. Gohan La Victime

    May 22, 2019 at 6:40 pm

    Kylo Ren is going to die, I had my doubts but at the end with what the guy is saying about the death of a main character , Kylo Ren is definitely going to die, you saw it here.

    • Gohan La Victime

      May 22, 2019 at 6:43 pm

      And I’m pretty sure it has a connection with Palpatine at the end of the movie with the big battle with Rey, what I’m saying is might be a big spoilers tho

  14. LunaGer

    May 22, 2019 at 6:43 pm

    The brother/sister thing makes zero sense.

    • Darth Something

      May 22, 2019 at 7:29 pm

      Silent K No, I’m fairly sure Kylo is still alive. Cause Snoke’s not the villain of this trilogy

      May 22, 2019 at 7:52 pm

      Darth Something I’m not interested in him
