Star Wars In-Production Films |OT| May the Spoilers Be With You
- Thread starter sphagnum
- Start date
Threepio's head swap in AOTC being the key to how they topple the first order would be so absurd yet perfectly Star Warsy at the same time.
Anakin is the one who brought Threepio to Geonosis so without Anakin Threepio wouldn't have ever downloaded the battle droids activation info!
So there you go. ;) Anakin connection lol.

They could make a really funny scene of Threepio going through all the memories he lost. Daniels would probably have a lot of fun acting that out. Might explain him using weapons too.

Isn't Lando in ROTJ a decent amount? Sounds like she isn't getting short-shrifted.
I think they're referring to the rumor that Lando's role in 9 is small.
Sounding more and more likely the MacGuffin is using Threepios old wiped memories to re-activate a droid army:

I gotta say, if this plays out as it is increasingly looking like major props to JJ for the ballsy move of using Attack of the Clones as the lynchpin to the Skywalker Saga's finale MacGuffin.
sphagnum your wildest dreams are coming true.
Re-activating a droid army being the secret weapon to help bring down the FO is a nice spin on ROTJ with the Ewok army helping bring down the Empire as well, in a way that ties the saga back to the very beginning.

Oh man, Williams is going to use some of the TPM battle droid music isn't he.
Watch him somehow merge the Resistance March with The Droid Invasion theme.

If this is where they are going, they have to have C3PO say Die Jedi Dog. I mean what's the point otherwise?
Just give me Matt Wood saying "Roger Roger" and I can die happy.
My problem with it, isn't that it's pulling from the PT. It's the fact they're just using the Droid army, as a stand-in for the Ewoks.
yeah im gonna cringe so hard if its battle droids saying roger roger wasting FO troopers left and right.
Clone Wars made me feel really bad for Battle droids. LOL.
I mean you can't reactivate the droid army and have them not say roger roger at least once, right?
I would bet if the rumor plays out that the first time the droid army marches out the audience will cheer.
Yep done right this will bring the house down. The kids who grew up with the prequels are in prime nostalgia range and enough time has passed that even the biggest prequel haters have softened a bit. I love the idea of a Williams resistance / droid army theme mashup.
Man, if true, I am going to lose my SHIT over the droid army stuff. I don't even like the prequels that much, but being 21 and having been raised on them both in the prequels and in the Clone Wars, my hype would be through the ROOF. It's also just a smart way to give the Resistance some more firepower AND tie in the prequels in a meaningful way.
I hope my hopes aren't too high now. But damn...

That's true for me. While i still intensely dislike them. I do appreciate they trying to do new things, just weren't able to stick the landing.
I need this to happen just so I can get that Williams March of the Resistance/Invasion of the Droid Army mashup track.
If we're getting the droid army, we'd better (finally) get Rey with a double-bladed lightsaber.

Time for some weird ass Kylo Ren rumors.

The Threepio having battle droid programming in his memories to activate a droid army felt very Filoni-ish to me soon as I saw it too. Far more Filoni than JJ.
A lot feels that way that we keep hearing about to be honest.
From what I remember of the Clone Wars production, Lucas would come up with bizarre or seemingly unworkable ideas and have Filoni make them work. Sometimes Filoni would have an idea Lucas wouldn't really like, but he'd do it anyway and Lucas would be cool with it.
I remember a while back there were these persistent rumors of Lucas "saving" Episode 9. Maybe they just brought him in (and Filoni?) to bounce ideas off and he proposed some weird shit and they actually used it in some way, and/or went back to some of the work done on the ST when George was planning it and used it. If I was making a Star Wars movie, I would want to bounce ideas of GL, or look at his unused concepts, or talk to Filoni. Filoni has spent more time talking Star Wars with Lucas than probably anyone else at Lucasfilm. He's a valuable consultant on anything Star Wars. As long as those guys are around, I feel it's worth it to use at least a little bit of knowledge even if it isn't anything directly a part of the story. Lucas is 74, pick his brain on silly Star Wars minutiae while you still can.

I'm not the only one thinking this after reading that and seeing the concept art.
But still, it does fit in the weird stuff Filoni does, so I'll give it a go. Oh man what if it's Bor Gullet!

After TLJ I was firmly in the "Kylo Ren is lost. He's fully evil and will die that way" camp, but I have to admit that all of the rumors are starting to make me wonder if he might actually be redeemed. I think it may even be before the very end--what if he fights alongside the heroes in the final battle? Maybe he's redeemed before the last act of the film?
Probably not, but all of the rumors/spoilers have made me start to question the possibility.

I wonder if it will be very definitive end or will there be loose threads for episode 10 in 2027 for the 50th anniversary
Probably want to leave it fairly open for ongoing stories even if it's not episode 10. Like even if the FO is completely destroyed there's still a divided galaxy ripe for stories. I doubt the new (new) republic gets rebuilt any time soon. I actually hope it stays a divided galaxy where you have multiple large factions instead of just one. There can be multiple empires and republics all doing their own thing and fighting each other, galaxy is a big place.
Chiss mother fucking ascendancy better be part of that future.

Eh, it probably reads weirder (especially in this second-hand fashion) than it actually is. Imagine if we were getting leaks from ESB, and we'd just found out that after being attacked by a Yeti, the ghost of Obi Wan will appear to Luke and tell him to go to a Swamp planet to learn how to be a Jedi from a frog alien with bat ears.
Naw the scrawny ones would be great as some kind of zombie droid army. Have their bodies rise up out of the earth as they are reactivated like skeletons. Heavily distorted Rodger. Rodger.
Ah, yeah, I see what you mean, that makes sense in a way.
Didn't it's obivious that Reylo is a thing ?
I mean Kylo Princess Carry Rey and look her sleep in TFA.
Snoke Link them togeter and after they heart to heart talk, Rey sundenly go find Kylo.
Also Girl like Bad boy.
Reylo is only a thing to creepy Kylo. He's gonna go full incel now after she turned him down. Fits his personality pretty perfectly actually.
And if we get droid army I swear to god Mr. Bones better show up or I will riot.

So what are the odds the EpIX section leaks?
