    Yep. It's from the guy who has just made a goofball of himself and somehow got Reddit Gold out of it. Fake as sin.

    In the meantime, here's some good info from MSW!

    • Roses character is more an "engineer" than a maintenence worker as described to Jason.
    • The trailer isn't indicitave of the texture or feel of the film as Jason has seen it so far.
    • From costumes and what he's seen, Jason thinks most of what was shown in the trailer is from Act 1 or early in the film.
    • He doesn't think the tree which the books are in is the same tree we saw in the leaked set pictures.
    • The shot with Phasma walking through burning debris is likely part of Finn's adventure and inside of the mega star destroyer.
    • Jason believes that the shot of Kylo's shattered helmet is on the floor of the medical bay which Kylo gets treated in.
    • He "totally hasn't seen" a picture of Kylo in a hospital bed with a FX droid next to him and a shattered helmet on the floor.
    • Jason thinks Luke wears Vader's red Kyber Crystal on a necklace around his neck, and that could be what Kylo wants. Luke might keep it around his neck because he knows the only way Kylo will get it is if he kills Luke.
    • When Jason saw the original costumes of the Knights of Ren, they had Luke's green lightsaber in their posession.
    • For Luke's costumes in TLJ, Jason hasn't seen any lightsaber. He's seen a walking stick and a caddle prod type of stick, but no lightsaber (and the walking stick/cattle prod don't turn into lightsabers).
    • Jason has heard a number of times about components of Darth Vaders stuff showing up in the film.
    • The fact is that Luke has a necklace with a red crystal around his neck. The possibility of it belonging to Vader is speculation but at the same time backed by what Jason had heard about Vaders stuff showing up
    • The Porgs might not be the "guardians of AHCH-TO", as in they don't fight or attack anyone, but the wildlife on the planet seems to be connected to the force and defend it
    • It doesn't seem like the Porgs can fly
    • They have no connection to Convorees
    • There was a picture with Luke Skywalker and a Porg and that was the "#1 connection" of the scene
    • Luke does have a cattle prod
    • If Rey and Luke are Story A, Finn and Rose are Story B, and Chewie and R2 are Story C, the Porgs will show up in Story C
    • Luke has a fancy Game of Thrones-esque patchwork outfit that shows his robot hand, and the dark "garbage bag" outfit that he may wear over it along with his glove.
    • Jason knows Luke changes costumes earlier in the film.
    • Jason was promised that there is a scene where Luke tells Rey what her connection to the force is
    • It makes him think that what Luke discovers in Rey scares him and makes him unwilling to train her as he initially wanted to
    • Instead of her simply being a new Jedi like Luke thought, she might be some type of harbinger for the end of the Jedi

    Knowing what little that we do about the movie, I absolutely agree with his assessment that most of the trailer was Act One stuff. My guess is that the only things that aren't are the Crait scene, Kylo Ren's game face, and possibly the shot of Rey running toward someone with her lightsaber in tow.

    The shot with Phasma walking through burning debris is likely part of Finn's adventure and inside of the mega star destroyer.

    Hmm. That scene looks much like the scene in which Poe's x-wing was blown up. Would it be more likely that (in that scene) Phasma is boarding a large resistance ship? They walk too cool and collected to have their own capital ship under attack.

    That's exactly what I thought. I respectfully disagree with Jason here - I think this is an Act One scene, not an Act Two or Act Three scene.

    Although he did say something about there being a scene where there's calamity on a hangar deck with Finn and Rose involved - so I think he's thinking of that instead of thinking of what we actually saw in the trailer.

    That's not what he said at all. He's clearly seen a few documents and other visual media, which is where he's getting his information from. Nothing's different from when he was doing this with TFA.

    Except that he did have at least a little more to go on, with the fallout from the Ford incident.

    Right. But we don't know what contacts Ward has made since then. He clearly didn't have many during Rogue One, but he got a good amount of information out of The Last Jedi. It's just that said information isn't nearly as clear about plot details as the The Force Awakens, which is exactly what I expected given that there have been no call sheet leaks this time around.

    Thanks for this Chris. I was hoping it wasn't MZ again but it seems from the replies.

    Seriously people: I think its debunked.

    Here is decoding of Snoke plot:

    It is said that Palpatine was the only one who "felt" Dark side presence trough the portal opened (excavated) in the planet Jakku.
    The portal led to unknown regions of the Galaxy.

    Palpatine became , however, obsessed with the finding of "something dark" in the Unknown space of the Galaxy, he felt the "source of the Dark side out there after he opened this "portal". Wait abot that, what if that "Dark source" once vent trough same portal using same pathways stored in that excavated computers on Jakku?

    Palpatine was the only one who felt this Dark presence, and even Darth Vader could not felt it. The reason only Palpatine felt it is this : a previous personal relationship of Palpatine and this "Dark presence". We know that Vader felt Luke's presence while Palpatine could not, there at Endor, and why? Personal relationship. Now Vader could not felt this dark presence, but palpatine Did.

    Now finally we have enough elements by the Dubrovnik leak that Snoke is an acronym "Sith No One Knew Existed"

    So Snoke is an acronym, and acronyms cary their stories with it.

    If Snoke is acronym, that acronym needs to be explained.

    Some being, never ever met in Star Wars lore would not require acronym. The being First time met in Unknown Space does not require acronym, does not require explanation, as one's history is not of such significance, only in case if that one was once a part of known Star Wars lore.

    Snoke was found in the Unknown Regions, however he is to be revealed he was from the Known Regions of the galaxy, and it is a character that was mentioned before.
    Snoke withnessed all what was happening in the galaxy before.

    I know, Pablo Hidalgo, but..acronym it is and it breaks the courtain and decodes it all. I expect they will start to Debunk acronym vigorously (already happening) because Snoke as an acronym debunks it all.

    I believe this was a rumour for Revenge of the Sith, too.

    @McDiarmid Stop being a baby and rating everyone who disagrees with you a troll.

    You posited a theory. It's valid, no one said otherwise but it's also very easily debunked or flawed as of now.
    It's okay. Stop being an actual troll.

    Sorry old chap, but Snoke's name will not be an acronym. That would be corny as f**k.
    It's just a standard Star Wars name.

    But if you must know his real name is:

    Hego Demask.

    The subject you credit as BS is significant discovery.

    Snoke as an acronym is almost 100% sure from my perspective -Sith No One Knew Existed -

    Maybe it is a leftower from early phases of development of the story when Snoke indeed was supposed to be some Sith, so a name, first designed as an acronym, stayed in the story that developed in different dirrection?
    Stll Snoke as a personal name for such mighty ,bad ,ugly , ambitious and mean guy is underwhelming.

    This "BS" " discarded "at first read" does deliver highly believable acronym, and logical acronym.

    Whoever met S.n.o.k.e for the First time he noticed this his properties:

    1.he is a powerfull Dark Side weilder.

    2.he was not to be expected to exsist (except by Palpatine who is dead)

    3.no one alive indeed knew such figure existed

    Now for anyone in the galaxy been a Dark side wielder is very close to a Sith, we could say the difference is academic. Why should they (Lea, Luke, whoever coined S.n.o.k.e acronym) not intially and still believe he was a Sith?

    Did Snoke asked a 5 minutes on global galactic TV to explain : "Sigh, my name is Snoke ( who loughs gets special treatment after I win).. I am not a Sith I am different type of dark side weilder so please do not whisper I am godamn Sith they are dead and I am not one of those"...?

    That's great you believe that. Not everyone does. Disagreeing is not trolling. Crying because not everyone agrees with you is trolling.

    Yeah, and I believed the "Kira Rey" "Kylo Ren" theories a few years back. Keep on trolling!
