Nicely done, George is great. Yeah Slightly advanced silverback.

Even if that was a problem, there's still plenty of (mainly adult) fans who haven't caught the animated series.

YEP me. Mainly because Filoni shafted Dark Horse Republic Comics Canon. THOSE were Clone Wars.

Re: Star Wars Episode VIII (Dec 15th, 2017)

Yep, Dark Horse was good. But you can't blame Filoni, I doubt the decision was his to make. And Marvel Mk II has so far exceeded expectations.

Funnily enough, Leland Chee's last blog post before the reboot was arguing why it *wouldn't* have to happen.

Yup, those comics were incredible. Still have them all on my shelfs. Really, majority of the 90s/00s Dark Horse stuff was all great.

RUMOR: New Leaked Plot Details For STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII

Spoiler:

According to a report by Stormtrooper Larry, (a source that had previously leaked pictures from the production set of the film) a part of the script for Star Wars: Episode VIII has leaked online. The report (picture seen below) contains a page of dialogue between Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Yoda (who has long been rumoured to make an appearance in the film). The leak describes a vision regarding the history of the Jedi Order, which goes in tandem with previous rumours that Luke exiled himself to the planet Ach-To to find an ancient Jedi temple. Be wary, possible SPOILERS ahead!In the scene Luke tells Rey that the Jedi Council became “arrogant” and that they were hiding a “secret,” which led to their demise. The old Jedi master takes Rey’s hand and shows her a glimpse into the past. They see two children playing near a tree on an alien planet. The boy noticed that he had greater strength and intuition when he was closer to this tree. The girl noticed that the tree also made her brother increasingly angry. One day an argument breaks out between the children, and the boy kills the girl. The boy touches the tree and is “transformed,”. He kills his parents and leaves the planet. Meanwhile the girl is revealed to be alive, transformed by the tree as well, using her power to start the first Jedi Order.

The girl explains how The Force can be used for both good and evil. She tells her followers that one day she would return as either a boy or a girl, and that they should train this child. Luke tells Rey that the Jedi Order had been searching for The One (reincarnation of the original founder of the Jedi) for a millennia. When they found Anakin Skywalker and thought that he would bring balance to The Force, the Jedi were “deceived” and the Clone Wars were the result. The scene also shows Rey’s parents, and Luke is not the father. Luke tells her how she was identified as strong with The Force, and how she was supposed to begin her training, but never reached her destination for an unknown reason. In the scene Luke gives Rey a choice, and she has till sunset to make it.

Now, before you dismiss this report as false, bear in mind that it lines up with certain information. For one, a massive tree was spotted on the "Ach-To" set (picture seen below), which lines up with the description of the vision experienced by Luke and Rey. Luke also mentions that Rey has "until sunset" to make her decision. This alludes to the rumoured attack from the Knights Of Ren after dark, as described in a previous report. If this information is true, it's pretty definitive that Luke is NOT Rey's father, and that Rey is actually an incarnation of the founder of the Jedi Order. As usual, take this information with a grain of salt, but it seems to fit with what we've heard with previous leaks and set reports! Sound off below with your thoughts!

My thoughts on what I just read in Kuats spoiler:

Spoiler:

So Disney/JJ/etc want to make Anakin not be the Chosen One? Wow...

If true that would be

Spoiler:

a kick in the balls for the PT!

However, the rumour, as always has to be taken with a bucket of salt. There's a rumour surrounding the rumour in the comments section of the link:

DarthMuppet - 6/17/2016, 5:13 AM The guy behind this so called "spoiler" is KY10REY and he is a well known fraud who pretends to be an insider. Basically, he's Supershadow 2.0. Pablo Hildalgo has already called him out for being both a liar and an idiot.

Can't verify that for truth or damage control.


I'm looking forward more to Rogue One, because

Spoiler:

all this Jedi intrigue and mysticism isn't as much fun as a rip roaring adventure, the kind that Han or Lando used to have travelling the galaxy

While you're here, RavenEye, do you have any update on the discounted replacement Indy ROTLA holster?

Not necessarily, it'a just a twist. Anakin was never expressly confirmed to be the Chosen One, and his conception was strongly implied to be part of a Sith plot.

Well, there is this:

Spoiler:

The prophecy of the Chosen One was a Jedi legend that foretold the coming of a being who would bring balance to the Force. Some Jedi, such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, also referred to the prophecy as predicting the Chosen One would destroy the Sith. Yoda cautioned at one point that the prophecy might have been misinterpreted.[SUP][2][/SUP] In the decades before the Clone Wars, the Chosen One was believed to be born in the form of Anakin Skywalker, and said to have been conceived by the midi-chlorians.[SUP][1][/SUP]

...

Though there was some debate that Anakin's son, Luke Skywalker, was actually the Chosen One since he caused his father to destroy the emperor, the debate was settled when George Lucas himself confirmed in an interview that Anakin, even after becoming Darth Vader, was still officially the Chosen One and not Luke.[SUP][2][/SUP]

https://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Chosen_One

Spoiler:

While Rey's story might redeem Vader from virgin births - a Sith ruse to artificially inseminate Shmi Skywalker without her knowledge - it replaces it with another load of mumbo jumbo instead

Interesting, I never realised George directly addressed the issue. Still, under the new canon, if it's not on-screen it's probably not settled.

(Still holding out hope Trevorrow will make Snoke Plagueis...)

Re: Star Wars Episode VIII (Dec 15th, 2017)

Spoiler:

Regarding "The Tree", this could be a further parallel with Empire (along with Luke/Rey and Yoda/Luke training).

And it's probably the Force tree recovered by Luke in the Shattered Empire comic book, which is part of the new canon and took place immediately after ROTJ.

There was still doubt about this? I thought it was pretty obvious that the prophesy was misinterpreted by the Jedi.

There were no Sith anymore, so he did bring balance to the force, balance doesn't = peace or goodness.

I don't think it's necessary to retcon Anakin's birth, but I do like that they're going the "avatar" route with the chosen one.

I hate everything from those potential spoilers.

I don't dislike everything, but most of it still feels like fanfic, not pulpy at all.
