    I wish he played someone less predictable that an underworld type, a resistance fighter or a comic relief character - which are the kinds of roles that come to mind given what he had done before. It would be interesting to see him try something like a Knight of Ren.

    I do think he will play an Resistance character. I guess he would be too "short" for a KOR. Haha! #Sarcasm

    "key role".

    We never officially knew about daniel craig as a storm trooper. The UK royal brothers were never announced either for their roles that were cut.

    well with Finn being a main character and a stormtrooper...I think that they could very much so be storm troopers since Phasma is dead and they could put the focus on the first order ranks for a part of the movie since they are now the much more dominant force in the galaxy.

    I'm sure there's a couple of "Max von Sydows" in this cast.

    No, I meant that some of the announced actors will get as little screen time as he did, despite being all over press releases etc. :)

    These are interesting images. Its easy to jump to the conclusion that we're gonna visit Endor again (the trees here sort of matches to tall, thin ones seen during some parts of the speeder chase in RotJ). However, knowing the Ep.IX are shooting at the hangar previously used for the Rebel temple base on Yavin 4, I think it is more likely (and actually hope) we'll return to Yavin 4. I would love some background on that place, and possibly some climactic lightsaber dueling confrontations set among ancient ruins there. I think returning to Yavin 4 for the one of the central stories in Ep.IX would be very cool indeed. :)

    What! That part was short but pure gold! As I said in another thread Lor Sen Tekka offers invaluable information about Kylo in a very concise yet brilliant scene. Also his appearing in the first two scenes gave the whole film a great amount of gravitas.

    I think @NinjaRen meant that the cast of IX is packed and they should be focusing on the main ST characters instead of adding more and more new characters to the mix. ;) And I agree with that, but there's a chance that some of these new actors will have LST-sized roles, so maybe they won't detract from the main heroes.

    And yeah, Lor San Tekka was great!

    Also, the character's death at the start of the movie only becomes heartfelt and powerful because the character is a beloved actor. There was no time to set up why we should care for Lor Sen Tekka, so they relied on us sympathizing with the character because we care about the actor instead. This is a very well-known film trick, a way to give a small role a larger impact (especially when the character is there to be murdered so as to set up the story's bad guy).

    For me it was really what he said and the way he said it, very elegantly written. His respect for Leia made him automatically sympathetic: "She will always be royalty to me." Also the way he confronts Kylo, reminding him constantly of who he is, in the manner someone loyal and brave would do.

    Yes, exactly! Lor San Tekka was a good tool of exposition, but for IX we don't need exposition but conclusion.
