I keep imagining Luke in TLJ going all 'Thomas Wake' while on Ahch To now
Damn Ye Rey!
Colin Trevorrow has a fan following that in its own way is like a much much smaller version of Zack Sydner's.

Joking aside, if the Reylos were mad about TRoS, imagine their rage at DotF.
Yeah, I'd kinda love to know this, too. I think it's clear now that, if JJ had been given the entire trilogy, we would have got two more movies that are to ESB and ROTJ what TFA is to ANH, i.e. just a full pseudo-remake of the Original Trilogy following all the major story beats. But I have no idea what his Snoke plan was, and honestly I suspect there wasn't one at all. At least not at the time TFA was being made.
My guess is that once JJ did come up with the idea of Snoke having been Palpatine's puppet, he would have liked for the reveal to have been in Episode VIII so it would have time to breathe. Like, in Snoke's throne room, Sheev would dramatically sashay in from off-camera, cut up Snoke with his own lightsabre, then be like "What's up, losers? It was me all along, by the way Rey you're my granddaughter!", and then that would be the big lead-in to Episode IX.
Big time KOTOR energy here.
And now for something completely different:
I know this will probable never happen, but with the Skywalker Saga over, I would love to see John Williams put together a mega-suite of all the major themes into a concert arrangement.
I'm seeing John Williams conduct the Cleveland Orchestra in April. I'm hoping against hope for "The Rise of Skywalker" or "Farewell" from Episode IX.
I totally buy the second tweet. I don't think J.J. pays that much attention to fan reactions, and there is a certain sort of logic to what he did without needing to ascribe it to fan appeasement. And for the first, Jason Ward from Making Star Wars has said something similar.

I love this so much.
God I hope Daisy Ridley finds her way back to Star Wars one day. I totally understand her being done with the whole thing and never wanting to touch it again, but I would so love to see her as Rey again, even if it takes five, ten, twenty years or more. I'm here for it.
...they added photo mode?
Alright I have to go back. Great shots.
Also, does anyone know what the spoiler policies are for Jedi: Fallen Order? The game's been out for awhile but I'm not sure if we're doing open or tagged spoilers.

I asked a while ago and someone replied saying they hadn't played it yet. I don't know if there's an official thread position on spoilers for it though.
Another interesting 'could've been' moment, Admiral Ackbar was originally going to lead the attack on Scarif, but apparently Lucasfilm didn't want to have him used as a recurring character so soon after TFA. Odd reasoning given the amount of pre-existing characters in RO. Ultimately I'm glad we got an interesting new minor character in Raddus, and it helps to makes the Rebel Alliance's high command feel a little more diverse and shows them suffering some big losses.
Rey Solana actually sounds really good, until you realize where the last name comes from and then you burp in embarrassment.
I think we already knew that about Rian.

By the way, before someone extrapolates too much, "Kk wanted JJ as well" doesn't mean "KK didn't want Rian" or anything.

That schedule man...
No, which is why the last name is a combination of those two names
Yep, pumping them out every 2 years bite them in the ass in the end. They got away with for the first movies but fell at the last. I don't blame Lucasfilm at all for that. That's on Disney and their insane need to get the movies out as quickly as possible.

Did they really think the movies would make less money if they had a 3-year gap?
They also wanted TFA to come out in May of 2015. JJ had to convince them to move it back. The whole schedule was needlessly rushed.
One of the few instances when blaming Disney is appropriate!
There was an ending in a Trevorrow script where his last words to Rey were that her last name was Solana, but it's not a made up last name, it just *happens* to be a combination of Solo and Organa lol.

Really bad luck that JJ didn't have a project already lined up. He's usually really busy. wtf
Now I'm sad.

Jason Ward said something similar.
He gave an interesting reason for why he didn't name the director.
One of the MakingStarWars reports on Trevorrow and Connolly's Episode IX made it sound like they chose "Solana" because of its meaning in Spanish.

Vince McMahon calm: JJ Abrams' actual completed Episode IX
Vince McMahon impressed: Colin Trevorrow's concept art and half-remembered screenplay for Episode IX
Vince McMahon falling off his chair: Rian Johnson's Episode IX that never existed in any way
