Ya was just going to add, the Johnson thing was before they announced the GoT directors would be in charge. I imagine the split will be more towards them with Johnson helming perhaps his own movie or movies, but in the end I have faith in the GoT crew.

After watching TFA again tonight, I fell asleep on the couch and woke up and it was on, I'm think
Spoiler!
Rey is Anakin, Anakin is Rey, she is a skywalker.
Why do I think this?
Her upbringing on Jakku mirrors Anakins upbringing. While Anakin knew his mother, he didn't know his father. Rey knows neither mother or father which lends to the idea that she was re-conceived by the Force. Her life mirrors Anakin, she's basically a slave on that planet. Like Anakin she's strong technically and the first time she pilots a ship in combat she's a a elite pilot.
Anakin's lightsaber talks to her and like Anakin she has the ability through the force to see visions. Also when she calls Anakin's lightsaber it comes to her.
When I watched the fight between Rey and Ren, I'm convinced that she channeled the Dark Side, you can see it in her face as she fights with Fury. Also there were a couple of elements of the fight that stood out. She attacks Ren with a powerful over hand slash, just like Anakin against Dooku. There is a scene where she locks up with Ren that looks exactly like Anakins lock up with Ben Kenobi in AOTS.
Which goes to. We hear Kenobi's voice who was Anakin's friend and father figure and Mentor. Kenobi is a force ghost who is trying to guide Rey from beyond the Force.
Then we go to the prophesy of the chosen one, Vader failed to bring balance to the Force. You would have to think the end result would be one force user who balances the dark and the light, which would describe Anakin.
Maybe this time the Force has bought him back to finish the job. Maybe its bought him back to try to redeem Ren.
Maybe Ren's redemption at the hands of Rey will finally end the Skywalker legacy of evil and fully redeem Anakin.
So how does this tie to Palpatine. I'm convinced that he won't be back as an actually participating character in this movie, but Rey will have a flash back vision to a discussion or a moment in time between Vader and Anakin. Maybe sometime after Vader returns from the destruction of the Death Star and Palpatine makes him suffer for it.
Anyways just a theory.

The Games of Thrones guys are capable of story driven misdirection on a pretty elite scale. Rian Johnson tries the same thing but doesn't understand how to connect it to the narrative.
It's like an excited 8 year old playing a pick up game with Micheal Jordan and Larry Bird.
Johnson will be a horrible anchor for the rest of the creative team.

I just really think that they have to do an old republic movie trilogy
The founding of the republic, the Sith Empire, armies of Force users wrecking planets. Lightsabers powered by huge backpack batteries.
The Sith turning on themselves.
I'd love to see a Darth Bane movie thought the trilogy of books isn't canon anymore, the rise of the rule of two. Bane destroying the Sith and the Brotherhood of darkness. Out of the Legends EU, this was probably one of my favorite stories.

I agree. The Bane trilogy was amazing and is easily the best of all the novels. Due to Bane I'm interested in reading the novels from earlier in the timeline but fully expect to be disappointed because Bane sets the bar high.
Any of the books by Drew are amazing. Plagius was a great book. I wish they would have continued the Sith Lord series as there was a rumored Cognus book series coming, and her back story was amazing.
Also anything by Lucerno is quite good, Dark Lord the Rise of Darth Vader is an excellent book
I just finished reading the Legacy of the Force series where Jacen becomes Darth Caedus and it was a better read the second time around.
Also in the old republic series Deceived is very good as it follows Darth Malgus who is a great character.

As is tradition with all new Star Wars films, Vanity Fair has a new cover story on The Rise of Skywalker, with new on-set photos by Annie Leibovitz and interviews with the cast and crew.
I skimmed the article but couldn't see that mentioned, beyond assuming what we are already assuming. Anywhere specific you can point out?
We already assume they are Ren's buddies from the Academy as it's said in the movies he 'vanished with a handful of students.'

Oh I thought you meant you knew their origin from the article.

Fair enough. I don't think they would give that away in the Vanity Fair article. I figured you were also speculating as to who the photo was actually of.
