    It's certainly not the most far fetched speculation, and it was announced that a woman was cast who actually is closer to the age that Mark Hamill is (much more so than Beckinsale, Johannson etc who are half his age) so again, it's possible.

    I just don't think Kylo Ren=Liam Neeson. Totally different body builds...and honestly? It would be pretty weird and alienate a lot of people.

    Ok......you're in, everyone loves comedy. I hate your Mara Jade theory, but it's yours and not necessarily out of the universe......I still don't like you....

    Oh my god dude are you ok? You seem to be throwing stuff together simply for the sake of throwing it together. Lol.

    A little comedy actually is right on time with all of these months to go.

    IF Liam Neeson is secretly in The Force Awakens, I doubt he would publicly-state that he would love to appear in another Star Wars episode. Doing so would prompt people like us to speculate about him and perhaps discover the truth.

    Still, I'm glad he's now willing to appear in another Star Wars movie. After he worked on The Phantom Menace, he stated that he was quitting the movie business in disgust at being treated like a ''puppet''.

    Um just because Adam Driver has been seen wearing an X-Wing pilot uniform doesn't mean he isn't Kylo Ren. He could find out he is force sensitive and then turn into Kylo Ren like a lot of rumors have said.

    Adam Driver is Kylo Ren.

    Voxx said that Driver couldn't be Kylo Ren because he has been seen wearing an X-Wing uniform... but I disagree
    [​IMG]

    My Theory is that Adam Driver/ Kylo Ren was a badass and arrogant X-Wing pilot in the New Republic but when he meets Luke for the first time Luke senses that the force is strong with him so he starts his Jedi training. Adam/Kylo at one point of the movie gets lured to a planet by the force and when he gets there he finds a sith temple and that is where we meet Andy Serkis's Character. (Think of Luke going to Dagobah and meets Yoda but with the Dark Side and a Sith Lord) and Serkis's character turns Adam/Kylo to the Darkside and gives him a Red Lightsaber chrystal to put in Adam/Kylo's saber. (He already has one because Luke taught him how to build one during his Jedi training and that is why it looks kind of crappy) and Adam has his mindset on Killing Luke so he can reach his full potential of his powers.
    [​IMG]

    Of course once the two finally fight, Kylo gets pummeled by Luke and gets messed up really bad. SO bad that he becomes a cyborg like we have seen in concept art. This scene takes place towards the end of the film.
    [​IMG]

    At the end of the film we find out that Serkis's character is playing Darth Plagueis.

    Thats my theory! It is supported by rumors and concept art. That is the story that has been going on in my head since the trailer dropped.

    Currently reading the thrawn trilogy marvel comic. Plot isn't too bad, but some of the lines are cringeworthy. Speaking specifically of the moments when they use lines from the films. It really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

    Please don't kill me but...I've never read Heir to the Empire...or any EU for that matter.

    But...I have heard about it so much along with the Thrawn trilogy I feel like I have read them

    So I'd say you may be on to something, kinda, sorta and it sounds interesting.

    Would be great to see Qui Gonn pop up somehow in this trilogy. After all, if it were not for him, there never would have been a Darth Vader. Liam Neeson is an exceptional actor and I think it would be a shame if they did not use him as a Force ghost or something down the road. Despite Episode Ones flaws, I thought Qui Gonn was a well written character, conflicted but trying to do the right thing.

    I don't think the Sequel Trilogy will have anything to do with Heir or any other EU stuff. I think names or characters could be recycled but that's about it IMO.

    I wasn't a fan of Heir so I hope I'm correct . . .
