    The problem if Snoke is Freedon Nadd or any other character from Star Wars lore ever (except D.P . or eventualy Palps reincarnated but this weill be "cheap") is that this will be no any twist for majority of fans, and abslutely would not mean anything to common public because nobody knew such characters.

    But also: do we REALLY need a twist?

    There are many film industry and sociology theoreticians that think this single moment defined the mythic status of Star Wars for eternity. It was a twist.

    So, new trilogy does not require a shocking twist , but this would be certainly most valuable thing film could offer.

    That's true its not a twist. I also doubt he IS Freedon Nadd but that the story of Kylo and Snoke borrows heavily from Exar and Nadd.

    Meaning Snoke is an ancient dark sider that pulls a young Jedi to the dark side. If this is the direction expect Snoke to be using Kylo for his power just as Han said but Kylo will kill him.

    Borrowing ideas from the EU seems legit, and probable .

    I think, AT WORST, it will be similar to TFA being compared to a new hope

    I think it will be highly benefitial if it will resemble Empire Strikes Back.

    I’ll just jump right in there…

    …if, indeed, Luke found Rey’s parents to be Dark Siders, killed them, found Rey to be their child, and decided to kill her only to be talked out of it by Ben Solo, and then dumping Rey on Jakku (which would be friggin evil for both of them) just to keep her out of the loop.

    ...(I.e. taking her into a good side custody would make a lot more sense here... instead of condemning the potential Dark Sider to a tormented existence on the junk world of Jakku, they COULD have brought Rey home with them and given her a good chance in life)...

    All this apparently having happened -- according to the ruling theory -- not to mention the levels of handwavery needed to explain all the randomness, mind wipes, cryptic lines, and several characters not recognizing one another (despite brain scans... possibly attested to amnesia, senility, and what have you), why, when Luke is finally presented with proof that Rey is the same Dark Sider child he chose to abandon in Hell so many years ago so as to prevent her from growing up to be the next Bid Dark Side Baddie… WHY doesn’t the ST end 2 minutes into The Last Jedi by Luke saying: “Oh, you’re THAT girl? Um… thanks for the Lightsaber, now you FINALLY die as I always intended for you to do, only kept from making that happen my nephew who CLEARLY went to the Dark Side since then. Here we go! *lightsaber noise*”


    I personally favor a Dark Side streak in Luke and/or Rey, but I can’t quite get this theory/rationalization to work. Help, please?

    ps: I'm deliberately not reposting that year old fan theory that is making the rounds again. It is a good video, but mostly because of the clever use of moody Star Wars music

    pss: Love to all.

    At the end the only thing that truly matters....Luke ignites his lightsaber in TLJ and kick some ass...if not.....that will be a huge disappointment
    --- Double Post Merged, May 15, 2017, Original Post Date: May 15, 2017 ---
    You're right, but I do not think Luke sees her simply as a pure being of evil, maybe he sees in her something of his father (anakin) and thinks he has a chance to redeem himself or at least take a less dark path

    http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ne...kers-claim-have-stolen-a-disney-movie-1003949

    This is eerily similar to the conversation about the stolen work print @The Futurition posted about. Does this article resurrect the possibility?

    Walt Disney CEO Bog Iger revealed Monday that hackers claiming to have access to a Disney movie are demanding a ransom. Iger didn't disclose the name of the film, but said Disney isn't paying. The company — which is working with federal investigators — is now waiting to see if the hackers makes good on the threat and release the movie.

    Iger's comments came during a town hall meeting with ABC employees in New York City, according to multiple sources.

    Disney's upcoming theatrical release slate include Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, which opens this Friday, and Cars 3 (June 16).


    Rumors circulated online last week that work print of Star Wars: The Last Jedi had been pirated and being held for ransom but days later online chatter tipped that rumor as a hoax. The studio had no comment.

    The Disney chief said the hackers demanded that a huge sum be paid on Bitcoin. They are threatening to release five minutes of the film the first time and then in 20-minute chunks until their financial demands are met.

    While movie piracy has long been a scourge, ransoms appear to be a new twist.

    The ransom demand of Disney comes only weeks after a hacker uploaded 10 episodes of the upcoming season of Orange Is the New Black to The Pirate Bay after Netflix refused to pay an undisclosed amount. The episodes were posted on Pirate Bay six weeks ahead of the series' official June 9 launch.

    Several Hollywood agencies have also been targeted by hackers with extortion plots in recent months, including UTA, ICM and WME.

    Seems like Bitcoin ransoms are getting pretty popular. :p

    While the last report of a TLJ work print was exposed as a fake it doesn't necessarily mean it will be the last time between now and December. But it's best to not rush to belief when it originates from some really shifty ass website instead of a major mass media source. The ransomers would get their hands on TLJ if they could...we know that.
