    Actually this is going out on a limb, at least compared to making star wars. It is impossible according to making star wars for Luke and Han to talk because Han is dead before luke appears in the film. So if Harry is right, then making star wars must be wrong.

    Harry seemed to be implying that there were scenes not included in the complete rundown "that some other sites" had. I took this as his way of saying MSW's info was correct but incomplete.

    It was a joke.

    I do remember something about the Vicar being a General. Could just be all the rumors bungling around in my brain, though.

    Vicar Veers would be sweet. Especially if he gives Kylo's boys a bit of difficulty and he tells Kylo you are no Vader, you are just a wannabe imposter right before Kylo decapitates him or something.

    Ooh, that has the possibility of a great little scene.

    "excuse me, sir, but you may think you are as powerful as Lord Vader, but I knew Lord Vader and trust me, you are no Lord Vader."

    Would play wonderfully into the insecurities of a Kylo Ren Solo. Nobody in a position of power takes him seriously. Nobody went looking for him when he went missing. Not loved. Not respected.

    Former General of the Empire gives you the finger in front of your own guard.

    That makes for a powerfully angry, hateful boy.

    The only way I could see Han, Luke, and Leia not going after a child of theirs would be if they thought he was dead. I mean C'mon Luke tried to save the Murderer of tiny children and committer of so many evil acts we could not count them here. Luke is the only and I mean only person in the whole galaxy who thought Vader could be saved. Why would Luke not try to save Kylo, it doesn't make much sense to me.


    However, I do agree with you that if for some reason Kylo was thought to be dead and really was a solo, this scene would play into that insecurity perfectly. Just to be clear.

    Missing . . . presumed dead. All just depends on the POV.

    To Kylo (which is who I was attempting to speak of) he would be missing.

    To his parents, he would be dead.

    So what I said was true, from a different point of view.(ben)

    It would make Kylo a very interesting character. An evil Skywalker whose evil is really rooted in what is actually a misunderstanding.

    I really feel like if Kylo is going to be more than a pit bull like Maul, he's going to need to have a compelling backstory. Kylo being an angry Solo working against his mother and hunting his Uncle and Sister, all while posing as his Grandfather, could make for some serious emotional drama.

    Again I almost hate to go here, but given that episodes 1-3 introduce this plot idea, what if your "skywalker" is not in fact the son or daughter of anyone, but someone genetically created, here come those damn midichlorians, meaning a clone of either Anakin or Luke. Both are possible. The emperor clearly had access to Anakin to do it, and if they found Luke's Saber, well, they found Lukes hand.

    Mind you I don't know that I am in favor of a plot like this, it has interesting possibilities.

    So far we've heard Sydow is Boba Fett, OR a supporting character from the prequels (Valorum?), OR a supporting character from the OT (Reiken? Veers? Piett?) and most recently a General of a Super Star Destroyer that crashed there 30 years ago and is bitter he was never rescued. Now Harry says "You know that shot of Daisy Ridley's "Rey" on vehicle in the far distance as you see that crashed STAR DESTROYER - well she's on her way to go meet someone key. There's also a reveal on that character that I think will blow minds. AND if anybody spoiled it for me, I'd have to kill."

    The only one of the rumored characters that would blow my mind would be Fett. BUT it wouldn't make sense since MVS looks NOTHING like Temura Morrison.

    a curious quote, is there someone from either the OT, the PT, or clone wars, or Rebels we haven't thought of already? at least someone that would "blow our minds"

    Personally I think he's going to be a new character. I think they are setting up "Rey" and her identity as the big surprise. Maybe she's actually Luke's daughter. Maybe Masie Richardson-sellers plays Luke's wife in the flashback.

    Harry has no connetion to Bad Robot. He has had no scoops in years. When he did get info, it was because AIC was the place to send scoops. Hes a chronic liar.

    You hatred for Mr. Knowles has been noted Chowdahead. The bottom line is he added something that COULD point to Luke having more screen time.
    Veers was last scene blowing up the shield generator on Hoth. "Lord Vader, the shield will be down in moments, you may start your landing"
    We don't see Veers after that.
