Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Just saw an article that said that the Disney + streaming service will cost $6.99 a month. Not a bad price.....although I’d anticipate that to increase once they get everyone to sign up and dependent on it.

Very smart of them to start with a low price point. I will definitely sign up for a month a couple times a year to watch the Star Wars and Marvel shows at a minimum.

Some quotes and images:

“The movie doesn’t pick up immediately after the last film. Some time has passed. This movie is an adventure the group goes on together."

- JJ Abrams on #IX


"The lightsaber that Rey inherited from Luke lives."

- Daisy Ridley


"I can confirm there are no new semi-naked Kylo's [in #IX]."

- Daisy Ridley

Looks awesome! Really glad they brought JJ back. I really enjoyed The Last Jedi minus what they did with Rey origin so I'm hoping they change that. The Rise of Skywalker is an interesting title considering it's the end other Skywalker Saga. Is Rey a Skywalker? They apparently visit the Death Star. And having the emperor back is genius. That will provide more details on Snoke.

SPOILER!!!

Uncle Palpy is back! I wonder how they are going to explain that. Also back is the smoothest guy in the galaxy, can't wait to see Billy Dee back on the screen again!!

Can't wait for December, and I like the title too!

Well...for all we know, Rey or Kylo hears the laugh in a dream.  At the moment, there's no context, so we can all anticipate this for the next 8 months.  I'm sure some folks will build up expectations and then be disappointed and blame producer/director/writer for ruining it.


Also back is the smoothest guy in the galaxy, can't wait to see Billy Dee back on the screen again!!

FOR SURE!!!


I like the title too!

The title strikes me as a little odd given that it's the last episode, but it's hard to make much of a title.

Very much looking forward to this!

I think the title is awesome.  This has always been the story of the Skywalker family, so it's absolutely perfect.

It's the "rise of" part that has me perplexed.

I watched the Star Wars Celebration and at the end of the teaser trailer the actor that portrays Palpatine was on stage after the lights went ON, and people obviously got nuts!!!

I think he will be in the movie somehow

The coolest thing about that trailer was what we heard at the very end. What a terrible title.

The Rise of Skywalker. Love it. Majestic. Can't wait to see how the story unfolds and connects to the title. Everyone probably assumes Luke, but I'm not so sure...

Kylo? or the never ending speculation of Rey being a Skywalker?

BTW in the SWC somebody in the crowd shouted “If the emperor can come back then *anyone* can come back”

Sadly there was nothing that happened in Ep8 that has me interested in seeing it resolved in Ep9. I will still see it and likely enjoy it. I just don't find anyone story arc very compelling.

Hey, spoiler alert, watch out, there's one last Skywalker. And she's probably an orphan girl from a desert planet...

Where are you putting Kylo?

BTW, the hand fixing Kylo's helmet are furry hand. I thought first it was him fixing his helmet, but its not

Kylo is probably gonna die and Rey's gonna be there crying because she had to kill him because Kylo killed Finn in the last act and she has to avenge him after talking to Luke's force ghost or something

Talking with some people at work after the trailer.

Here are our theories:

- The Emperor made clones of himself as a backup plan. That is how he returns.
- Knowing that Anakin was the most powerful force user he also made clones of him.
- Rey is a clone of Anakin (Hence The Rise of Skywalker)
- Kylo Ren and Leah are the only two skylwakers alive so I'm assuming they either both die or Kylo sacrifices himself to kill emperor #2 akin to The Return of the Jedi.

I could be way off but logically makes a lot of sense. Also, George Lucas always said that he intended the Skywalker saga to be based on Anakin not Luke so having Rey be a clone of Anakin also fits that story.

If Palpatine does appear (which I'm still skeptical of despite the laugh in the trailer, because IMO it doesnt have to mean anything) I would be surprised if his appearance is anything more than force ghost.

Didn’t TFA trailer have Vader’s breathing? Did people think he was gonna be in it?

Also trailer was decent. Not bad at all. Standard. Serviceable. Good, considering it’s still 8 months away.
