Minor spoilers from action sequences: >Resistance tries to fight off new AT-M6's with bombers but it doesn't work, Poe uses a proton torpedo to ignite the ground under the vehicles, finally destroying them. > AT-M6 can bend up and down and shoot an artillery canon. >Kylo's new starship has a "combat mode" similar to X-Wings, its wings sort of fold outside making space for multiple new guns jumping into place. >There's a somewhat slapsticky scene in which BB-8 fights BB-9E with blowtorch.
Bigger spoilers: >Supremacy is destroyed but without Snoke on board - it's a trick, he's a hologram. By the end of the movie it's revealed he was on a different starship all the time. >DJ hacks Finn's spine implant to retrieve information about Resistance base on Crait and sells this info to First Order. After it's revealed, Holdo throws Finn into a brig for treason. >Admiral Holdo sabotages Leia's transporter. Poe, Finn and Rose manage to run away using an escape pod (the cockpit detaches), but Leia is injured and doesn't make it, implied to die in explosion. >Luke is now Dr Jekkyl/Mr Hide and evidently crazy.
Cheers.

Angel Butler
this could be true, I already heard the First Order download information from Finn
Andrew Gutierrez
Unfortunately that's all I know, Luke and Rey's arc is top top top secret and tightly under the wraps even for people who are close to production. Noticed how they, of all characters, are weirdly under-represented (almost absent) in the currently available merchandise, while marketing is working full-time pushing the "mysterious" narrative?
Isaiah Rivera
>DJ hacks Finn's spine implant to retrieve information about Resistance base on Crait
James Walker
Do you know anything about Knights of Ren What happened to them?
Adrian Rodriguez
They're selling us mystery just like they did for TFA. Remember when it was a top secret script. LOL, the truth was that they were afraid people would realize it was a dumbed down reboot with a cunt as a lead and a bumbling idiot partner. My guess is that 8 is so disappointing and infuriating, they don't want you to know
David Sanchez
>post yfw in episode 9 it's revealed that snoke literally is just a hologram with an ai programming
Jackson Taylor
If I'm right they are just a force sect who have overthrown Luke's academy with Kylo's help, relegated to be a back story, they're not mentioned by name in the movie.

OP here, here's multiple other things I remembered. >Poe's X-Wing is damaged which is unfortunate because he's assumed to be the only pilot good enough to fulfil Resistance's plan to destroy the Supremacy. He gets super pissed, Leia slaps him in the face and orders him to lead the ground offensive. >Kylo shoots Millennium Falcon down for good, but I don't know more details. >It's explained that First Order is actually quite influential and they rule about a third of the known galaxy, so it's not like they're "imperial remnants" as presented in TFA, it's explained that there's "first order controlled space". >One of the stormtroopers recognizes Finn while he's dressed up as an officer and congratulates him on promotion. >Casino on Canto Bight belongs to Snoke, assumed to be one of many, it's one of the sources of his enormous wealth. I know how it sounds but I heard someone calling him the "Trump of Star Wars".

I assume that stormtrooper will be Tom Hardy
Ryder Johnson
all this convoluted plot garbage requires the audience to give a shit
Owen Johnson
For the first time in my life I'm gonna skip seeing a new Star Wars film in the theater. And I'm a fairly big SW nerd. This is how far they've fallen.
Carson Bailey
Who the FUCK cares about the Knights of Ren? Sounds unbearably boring
Hudson Reed
No you won't, Disney marketing machine will get you eventually

When is Obi won coming back?
Evan Bell
>Leia slaps him in the face and orders him to lead the ground offensive.
Yaaaaaas queen
Austin Hughes
>>It's explained that First Order is actually quite influential and they rule about a third of the known galaxy, so it's not like they're "imperial remnants" as presented in TFA, it's explained that there's "first order controlled space".
There was literally no reason for this not to be mentioned in TFA. Bravo JJ.
Lincoln Sullivan
Isn't that exactly the kind of shit that should be on the rolling opening story blip?
Jeremiah Brown
They made shit up as they go, there is no overall story planed
James White
They won't. Maybe I'll be forced to take my wife's son to see it.
Andrew Sanders
>Kylo shoots down Millennium Falcon for good
nibba that better be a lie. why are they killing off everything about the old films to make way for the new
Carter Ramirez
i read somewhere that falcon getting destroyed, but elswhere when asked its debunked so i dont know
Levi Reyes
Don't you get it user? They're using the new trilogy to cleanse Star Wars of all the pre-Disney stuff beyond the larger organizational and conceptual level. That way it'll be less compared to the old SW and be less shat on by critics for using the old stuff.
Jose Bennett
>AHAHAHAHA, you think this is the real Snoke?
>It is.
Wyatt Flores
just like the OT
Brody Foster
>Holdo throws Finn into a brig for treason. >Admiral Holdo sabotages Leia's transport
Just gonna go out on a limb here and assume Holdo is a white male.
Ethan Bennett
She's played by Laura Dern.
Jacob Fisher
>>Poe's X-Wing is damaged which is unfortunate because he's assumed to be the only pilot good enough to fulfil Resistance's plan to destroy the Supremacy. He gets super pissed, Leia slaps him in the face and orders him to lead the ground offensive. why the fuck can't he just take another one?
Isaac Martin
Nope.
Jack Sanders
Resistance poor
Jacob Anderson
not like pilots personally own military aircrafts, just kick some worse pilot out of the team and give the x-wing to Poe. there are much more pilots than aircrafts in any fucking airforce, not giving them to the best ones for combat missions is a serious misallocation of resources, especially when you're poor and every machine counts
Jonathan Perez
>Casino on Canto Bight belongs to Snoke, assumed to be one of many, it's one of the sources of his enormous wealth.
chief lazarus confirmed for snoke.
Jordan Scott
Pilot leading a ground offensive, they mus be really short on people lol
Parker Gray
ok, maybe this has already been explained in a book or something i missed, but why the hell doesn't the new republic have its own military to fight the first order?
Henry Martinez
: - ) ALL.
Ryan Lewis
Pls be real
Ryan Perez
>all that hardship and sacrifices to destroy the empire and bring back the republic >Nu Wars destroys the republic in a 5 second scene on an unnamed planet with unnamed characters and is never brought up again
Julian Taylor
Yeah but the 'splosion was BAD ASS!!!
Adrian Brooks
Color me surprised.
Brayden Wood
Will Phasma have a role or be non-existent again?
Christian Wright
i dont know, maybe the resistance is the new republic's army like as a proxy against the first order
Kevin Flores
Luke is good evil crazy clone of Luke is bad
Screencap this
Luis Davis
He'll end up being Snoke. He created the first order to balance the universe.
Jace Hernandez
What is the Slave Leia moment? Rey doing any lewd things?
Austin Sullivan
>mfw those rumours about Luke being the main bad guy mastermind behind it all come true
Robert Torres
>Yeah but the 'splosion was BAD ASS!!!
The splosion was devoid of meaning. In their attempt to distance themselves from the space politics of the PT, Kathleen Kennedy and JJ Abrahms ended up giving zero exposition or context for the events of The Force Awakens. As much as I hate Kennedy, I'd assign most of the blame to Abrahms and his childish penchant for confusing empty mystery with deep and impactful story telling.
Eli Phillips
>"Trump of Star Wars" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Aiden Robinson
than why do they have such shit resources, especially compared to the first order who only control one 3rd of the galaxy?
Isaac Adams
...y-yeah but did you see the 'SPLOSION?!
Asher Myers
They didn't destroy the Empire. They blew up a ship and killed the Emperor, still a whole fucking Empire out there.
Liam Jones
>his childish penchant for confusing empty mystery with deep and impactful story telling.
him and that faggot lindelof.
Ayden Anderson
Be Mon Mothma >kill emprur >forget about the rest of the empire and disband the entire rebel army Who /brainlet/ here?

The Big questing is... is DJ a Bothan?
John Torres
That wouldn't be that bad. Robots are a big part of SW.
David Perez
Rey is Anakin's clone. That's why Kylo Ren was so assblasted about not being as powerful as his grandpa. The clones of Anakin that are under Luke's care are more powerful than him, the biological heir of Anakin. And then Kylo was seduced, and he murdered all the clones save one. I don't know why, but Rey retains some of the memories of Anakin. I believe that if we ever start cloning people, each would have a unique soul despite having the same body. So I'm wondering why a part of Anakin's soul is within Rey. Is Rey not just a clone, but Anakin's soul reincarnated? Like the promise of Darth Sidious of resurrection? Holy shi... what if Luke delved into the Dark side and used a resurrection art by the Sith, so would that make Luke a Sith now?
Alexander Lopez

Joshua Walker
So is EU less retarded now compared to nuSW?
Easton Torres
>order your best pilot to lead the ground offensive >not give him another x-wing this is really stupid unless they're all out of x-wings which is even stupider.
Jackson James
yes
Sebastian James
nuSW is just parts of the EU with the serial numbers filled off.
William Wood
Just wait until you guys find out about the time travel stuff
Joshua Long
you are just memeing
Anthony Jackson
source?
William Hughes
This can't be real can it? I mean the last one was shit... but it was hard shit, this seems like what happens when your hungry forgot your wallet and picked up some cheap taco bell with the spare change from your ash tray.
Samuel Johnson
Parts of the EU were really good. Better than the OT, even. But it went to shit really fast because they let anyone write for it. The Thrawn Trilogy was great. Dark Empire was okay, with many cringe over the top parts, but the main idea was good. The Jaina/Jacen storyline was good.
Easton Mitchell
>Admiral Holdo sabotages Leia's transporter. Poe, Finn and Rose manage to run away using an escape pod (the cockpit detaches), but Leia is injured and doesn't make it, implied to die in explosion.
Ok this is complete horseshit. It's already confirmed Leia doesn't die and isn't implied to die.
Leia was supposed to play a part in 9 and all of her scenes for 8 were already filmed with that in mind when Carrie died. The actress died and they already confirmed they aren't digitally re-creating her so it's impossible for a Leia death to happen.
Evan Taylor
It's JJA. There's always a form of time travel.
Angel Rivera
They lie all the time.
Ian White
It's a body double with a cgi Leia face (like in The Crow). It's not full CGI so they aren't lying.
Owen Peterson
I bet George still has a piece of the licensing game, so they're killing all of the iconic stuff for new stuff so that they don't have to pay him anymore. But it'll all backfire anyway, so who fucking cares.
Chase Long
>Leia is injured and doesn't make it, implied to die in explosion. >Luke is now Dr Jekkyl/Mr Hide and evidently crazy.
After TFA shit on all the old characters to give an excuse for why there is still a massive Empire still around complete with a new Vader this is just par for the course.
This is bad fan fiction.
Jaxon Evans
Is it more likely that a Hollywood executive who literally has no reason or incentive to lie lied or is it more likely that a Sup Forums shitposter is shitposting?
Asher Bennett
>Is it more likely that a Hollywood executive who literally has no reason or incentive to lie
user I ....
Alexander Sanders
OP here, no time travel in this movie.
They only have a bunch of X-Wings and they are already away when Poe tries to start off his. My understanding is that later he gets a better new X-Wing, by the way. The first attack on Supremacy fails.
Andrew Russell
There's no way Disney would let this amount of creative thinking happen. OP is full of it.
Ryan Green
Do you want me to list the times they lied about movies before? They lie ALL. THE. TIME. Just ONE example: We're making The Thing prequel all practical guyz!!
Camden Miller
Op here, Holdo was described to me as a lawful evil Luna Lovegood, apparently a very cool villain.
Benjamin Allen
>Leia slaps him in the face Dude, this is totally the stuff I expect from Nu-wars. Imagine a guy slapping an incompetent woman, there would be riots; But make it the other way around , it's a stronk womyn. Poe gets slapped like a little bitch. Honestly Poe is Rian Johnson and leia is Kathleen Kennedy. she slaps him in the face and gets him back to work. That Rian Johnson is a cuck
Camden Wood
Why is OP responding to every post in the thread other than the one that points out that his "leaks" factually and objectively contradiction information that filmmakers have already provided with us about the movie?
Lucas Hall
>Trump of Star Wars The state of "liberals," lmao
Camden Edwards
It's a retcon, like how Vader is Luke's father was in ESB.
Landon Morris
Dude, you think nothing happens to Leia in 8, yet she won't be in 9?
Jacob Morris

Jason Ramirez
After TFA and RO, do people really care about these movies anymore? I'll admit I used to be really psyched for TFA bits and spoilers, but after how shitty both the Disney Star Wars have been, I literally couldn't care less.
Evan Martin
Somebody please tell me. What will be the scene that make Rey millions of young man's chrush and become iconic as Leia for this generation?
Joshua Hall
This one is the last chance for me but only because Rian Johnson is directing.
Parker Sanders
_no
Brody Turner
So does Rey lose a limb or is she truly the ultimate Mary Sue?
