    It's worth a reminder that he also denied the thing about Rebels Season 4 being the last - or rather, that he deliberately refused to clarify those remarks.
    No idea. I was just going off an Imgur description.

    Full video of Pablo at Comic Con Chile.

    Quote regarding Luke and Leia.

    ''They have a..they have moments as well''

    Darth Plagueis created Anakin (''all signs point to yes'')

    Kylo has a lot to prove and is going back to meet Snoke at the beginning of VIII..''And we all can imagine how that's going to go''

    The Last Jedi, singular? or Plural? Pablo: ''Both!''

    Have fun lots of revelations and spoilers regarding VIII.



    My bad Magnar..saw you just posted it. ;)

    That quote on Luke/Leia sounds a lot more convincing that there will be a reunion.

    Yeah I mean, there is no hiding from it now. It's right there. Really have respect for Pabs and it doesn't matter how much he tries to backtrack, it's been captured.

    Adam Driver was the worst casting ever, other than Hayden as Anakin. I mean, look at that dude. Who could take him serious? Why wouldn't the PTB come up with, at least, a convincing mask for his dumb mug and lack of sinisterism? I just do not get it. I honestly do not get most of the "canon" other than the original three. The prequels were blast, and VII....... don't get me started. Why would they kill off Solo? blast of the bull kind, if you ask me.

    And speaking of "canon", I'm 44 and have been a HUGE fan of Star Wars since I was 4. I finally had a "lack" of Star Wars and decided to start reading some of the backstory literature. I'm on the second book of the "Thrawn Trilogy". All I can say, is wow. Why would the story become so political? Why must Leia become a Jedi of all things? How the F did Han become a politician, knowing he is a pirate/smuggler? Where did this BS Jedi/clone, come from? I cannot remember, are the twins mentioned in the movie? What is Ben's sibling doing?

    Now, I hear, Mark Hamill was disappointed with the path of his character. I'm sure I agree, lol. I'm old school. I hated the prequels, they were horrible. Ep 7 is questionable atm. One must concede that the Skywalker history will continue into the sequels, otherwise the last 3 movies are out of context.

    Why would Luke go into hiding? He was supposedly the last of the Jedi. Leia would be totally believable as a politician with "Emperor" like powers. See.... According to believed, written "canon", she wields a lightsaber and has all of a sudden become one with the force. She is a politician, fer fooks sake.

    And enough with the introduction of new aliens. The success of these movies relies solely on the fact that this is a "HUMAN" experience. That is the main reason the prequels failed and were so upsetting. Who cares how many f'n droids or clones are destroyed. F it, make more.

    I may just be jaded, or maybe it's because of my age, being that the OT was such a major part of my life and up-bringing. blast, my dad was a cop (CHP). He lived in Del Norte county in the middle of the Redwoods in northern California. There was a tiny little burger stand just up the road (we used to walk there 2-3 times a week) Where the entire cast of ROTJ went to have their lunch every day. About half a mile.

    All I'm saying, is that I am a HUGE fan (of the unadulterated OT), and I am just having a hard time digesting the "canon", the prequels, and now the sequels.

    Welcome to the boards.

    Several things. The first half of your post is based on the completely wrong information. The said Thrawn Trilogy is no longer considered canon, it belongs to Legends now - everything published before April 2014 is considered Legends to allow Lucasfilm to tell new stories and not be handcuffed by stories which were told when there was no hope for new Star Wars. Basically, everything you quoted is no longer the case. Han isn't politician, Ben is the only child, there are no Jedi clones, etc. You can find more information here. The visit to Wookieepedia (where Canon and Legends stories are clearly separated) or Star Wars Databank might also help.

    I can't help you with your experience with the prequels and the sequels. Prequels are here to stay and there is no changing them. Sequel Trilogy is incomplete, there are two more movies to be told. Since you are the fan of the Original Trilogy, think of having only A New Hope - there would be no Yoda, no Bespin duel, no Emperor, etc., without Empire Strike Back and Return of the Jedi.

    But, if nothing of this helps, you can always enjoy only the Original Trilogy. There is no mandate to like anything else. We have fans like you here as well as those who enjoy the entirety of Star Wars stories (yes, even the Legends). And you are all right - from a certain point of view.

    Personally, I will always feel that no new Star Wars is the worst possible option. :)

    In the Force, there really is no "side" One is merely degrees from the other. Light is a degree of dark and vice versa. This is a Universal truth, regardless of the galaxy you're in. I think we will see Luke realize this and teach Rey this in "Last Jedi."

    I am only following things here so I am not tracking it close. But it might be a disconnect from what people interpreted he said verses what he said. Particularly regarding Phasma. He said that's now how she looks in TLJ. The implication could be as simple as she's banged up before her helmet comes off. People are jumping to aliens, cyborg and so on.

    What are you talking about? Adam Driver is the best actor compared to the new characters. He isn't only a terrific actor, he also looks like Han Solo's kid.
