LOL, that would make Maul's survival almost reasonable!

But I have always wondered ... Was Palpatine's body ever recovered? Is there any material proof the old man died? I don't think so. So, new theory: Snoke IS ... Palpatine!

(and that would explain how horribly disfigured poor Snoke's face is)

;)
 
Well that was an unexpected last line...

Ugh. December seems so far away now.
 
I looked at the poster and immediately thought that would look awesome on a steelbook!
 
Loved the trailer and it goes along with what I thought when I first saw the title of the movie, which is to say Luke is going to embrace the concept of a grey Jedi and have a balance of both light and dark. In doing this he will fulfill the prophecy of bringing balance to the force.
 
It didn't really give us much did it? Luke trains Rey as a Jedi - which we assumed from the end of Force Awakens anyway. Fin is still in intensive care. Poe looses his beloved black X-wing, there's some new low flying craft that battle against At-Ats on another desert planet and a massive space battle with some new looking good-guy capital ships. Roll on the next trailer 👍

Visually, no, it didn't, but what Luke said about 2/3rds in was really damning to the fate of the force as practiced for the last few millennium. [I should interrupt and say that this applies to both Jedi and Sith.] Snoke and Luke is training their last disciples in that "grey-area" of the force, but while there is evidence that Luke is training Rey in accordance to the principles of the first force users, we don't know how Snoke is training Ben to become a "grey Jedi" (for lack of a better term) and for all we know Snoke is adhering to the Sith's "Rule of Two".
 
It's about time that more info was released about Last Jedi. Up until reading this i felt like i knew more about the Han Solo film then i did EpVIII.
 
That is probably not good news for the Han Solo movie. I still do not understand their reasoning behind a young Han Solo movie. Trying to have someone fill Harrison Ford's shoes is a monumental task.
 
Also seems odd considering they're well into the filming of it. Can they use what's already been shot without it looking disjointed?

...Well, Disney did fork out gazillion dollars for SW and other stuff so, it stands to reason that they would very much like a return on that hefty investment. And what better way than by milking the franchise to the max?

Hmm. I wonder, if Miller and Lord wanted the film to be more comedic than what Kathleen Kennedy the mean producer lady have wanted. I mean, the duo is better known for their improbable but fun comedies. Hiring them to prop up a quarter of a billion dollar Summer tentpole movie sounded a bit ill-advised back then, and I guess that decision is backfiring now.

They're easily getting their return back on this and Marvel. $4billion spent on series, the two movies so far have produced $3 billion plus, and then you have merchandise sales, shows, and entertainment like games. Clearly all of this doesn't go directly to Disney but you'd have to believe they've already made their money back. Everything else is to tell a worthwhile story they believe in which is what they usually give as a reason for why they do things.

For those that haven't seen Rogue One yet (why not!?!) it will be on Netflix in July.

...streaming. Netflix streaming. I watched it on Blu-Ray from Netflix a few months back.

The breakdown I saw recently was $1 Billion profit for the first 2 movies including merch, but not including licensing to folks like Netflix. So the theory is that they'll make their money back a little sooner than 8 years, and after that it's all gravy.
