I never did understand why they mounted a sight on a pistol.

Because Han Solo can do what the #### he wants. Thats why.

Another far out possible theory... Darth Plagueis

I really don't buy that theory, because it frankly really makes Palpatine look like a schmuck.

I get that Plagueiss supposedly had the power to cheat death. But that's what made Palpatine to me seem so fricken powerful. Through guile and patience he killed a Sith Lord that might have been unkillable.

If Snoke is Plagueis I might have to walk out of the theatre in disgust.

Fans want so much for things like Mace Windu surviving his 60 story fall, and at the end of the day the one thing that I hated more then a super weapon in every EU book was that there were tons of Jedi who had survived order 66.

At the end of the day it was a continual kick in the nuts to Palpatine who was retconned into a scmuck.

to me at the end of Order 66 there should have been like 10 Jedi in the Galaxy that survived. Mace Windu was packed into a jam jar and frozen in carbonite. Palpatine waited until his master fell asleep and killed him in a final way.

I don't buy it either, just another far out theory.

[Hemi-Cuda]

It's also unlikely because it connects directly to the prequels, which Abrams and co. have been wisely ignoring to the best of their ability. The reason the new movie is hyped so hard is because it's connecting directly to the original trilogy, anything referencing the terrible prequel trilogy would be bad for business. I doubt you see any reference or mention of a character that wasn't in the original trilogy in some way

I think I've figured out the twist. The Knights of Ren are actually the Knights Who Say Ren and Kylo has been searching the galaxy for a shrubbery.

Got tickets for Dec 19 at 9:50am at Crossiron Mills. Seat availability is pretty good there, especially compared to other theatres.

That was AWESOME!!!

[Wormius]

Poor George. No respect.

He says he plans to direct movies, "but not movies that will be shown anywhere."

....

Asked whether he could be any character in "Star Wars," he first noted that he liked all the characters and then didn't hesitate.

"Jar Jar Binks," he said -- the character most widely reviled by "Star Wars" fans.

[Coach]

Lol love the Jar-Jar troll job.

I found this 1981 draft for "Revenge of the Jedi". This is before Kurtz had his falling out with Lucas after he changed his mind and went for a happy, children-friendly film (ostensibly for toy sales according to Kurtz).

It's interesting...but still has Ewoks instead of Wookies. It's also wildly different in many ways. IE: Obi Wan returns to the material world and the ending is a weird pre-cursor to the Revenge of the Sith battle.
