SPOILER New Plot and Character Rumors!

The rumoured plot does lean heavily towards mysticism, too much so for my liking. Even when scenes concern the Rebellion and Empire, they all seem to dovetail into 'ancient evil' and Sith lore, although one might debate that was the crux of Episodes IV-VI too. Still a good deal of the screenplay we know nothing about, so perhaps the gaps in knowledge will present a tale that is equally or more world-building and high adventure than Quest For The Sabre Of Doom.

 

Doesn't matter if it's the crystal or not, the whole idea is ridiculous. Not only do you have to explain how the saber was found after Bespin, which in of itself is a complete stretch. Then you have to explain how a crystal of a saber built by Anakin many years earlier is the key to a sith tomb. Talk about a ridiculous nonsense plot

 

I wonder if this is the Tomb of Darth Bane.. The same Tomb that Yoda visited in TCW, and if so do we have Andy's Character revealed?

 

@Viral Hide

Is the source who confirmed this:

the same as the source who said that BB-8 originally belonged to Poe?


Does your source know if Poe is the one who first found the lightsaber and put it inside BB-8 before he was captured?

 

This was posted on Reddit last night. It's a lot of what's already been speculated with a few new elements I haven't seen before. What I like about it -- even if it's fake -- the poster took the time to connect certain dots... The Tarkin connection, and Captain Phasma have been absent in most speculation. The super grim (and super old among our circle) ending is what makes this highly suspect. Regardless, a fun read:

29 years have passed since the destruction of the second Death Star. Movie opens with main character Finn being recruited by the Empire to become a stormtrooper. We watch Finn go from enthusiastic recruit to buyers remorse over a ten minute combat montage. The final straw for Finn comes when he and his squad are ordered to burn down a village filled with women and children.

Finn decides to defect and busts out a captured rebel pilot named Poe to help him escape. They comandeer a TIE fighter, but the controls are foreign to Poe, and they crash land on the desert planet Tatooine.

Enter Rey. Rey is indebted to the Hutt family and works as an errand girl for them, mostly consisting of "artifact trade" which is a front for drugs after the Imperial crackdown on Tatooine.

Rey discovers Finn and Poe and takes them to the Hutts, who order them imprisoned while trying to see if they can collect a reward for turning in a defected soldier and escaped rebel prisoner. Finn and Poe convince Rey to bust them out and escape the planet, so they draw up an escape plan.

Meanwhile from the confines of Yavin IV Leia is trying to negotiate the freedom of Poe, who is the leader of Rogue Squadron, with the new commander of the Imperial armed forces Onna Tarkin having no idea he's escaped imprisonment. The Imperials want a system relinquished to them in order to secure his return. She discusses these terms with Rebel veteran captain Phasma, and then sends for her son, Ren.

Ren is deep in the forests of Yavin IV and has discovered a tomb, within it an ancient lightsaber. He's notified he must return to base.

Back on Tatooine, Rey lets Finn and Poe out of prison, and they break into a vault filled with all kinds of valuables. They load up a sack hoping that a smuggler will accept some of them as payment to take them off the planet. It is here Rey finds a lightsaber. They fight their way out of the Hutt estate and head for Mos Eisley.

On Yavin IV, Leia and Phasma are briefing Ren on the capture of Poe and to Leia's disapproval, Phasma suggests a counter attack on an Imperial outpost and the capture of a rising star in the Empire, an officer who was once part of the Alliance named Blithe. Ren agrees to lead the attack.

Rey Finn and Poe enter the cantina and find Han Solo and Chewbacca. Han is reluctant to help them until an altercation forces Rey to use the lightsaber she found. BAck at the Htt estate, while trying to track down Poe, Tarkin is alerted that their sensors detected a lightsaber ignition in Mos Eisley. Onna orders a blockade on the Port, and commands the Star Destroyers in the atmosphere to be ready. Han manuevers the Falcon through a small squadron of TIE fighters and makes the jump to light speed.

Ren's squadron leads an attack on the outpost in the Endor system and Blithe is caught, but not before Ren stages a crash and is presumed KIA. Ren clearly having his own agenda travels to a different moon of Endor blanketed in snow. He ignites the lightsaber he found on Yavin for illumination, and discovers the mask of Darth Vader in a pile of ashes. Having ignited the lightsaber though, Ren is quickly surrounded by imperial troops. When they discover what he's holding, they decide to take him to the Executioner II.

Poe departs the group to return to Yavin while Rey reveals she is force sensitive. Finn knowing the legend of Han Solo asks Han if the legend of Luke Skywalker, the last Jedi Master, is true. Han reluctantly admits it is, and they decide to search for Luke.

Poe interrogates Blithe about his reason for switching sides. Blithe shares he learned of plans by the Alliance to build a super weapon which far exceeded anything the empire ever did. Poe refuses to believe him, and Blithe gives him coordinates. Ren's squadron return and they reveal that Ren was KIA, but a transmission comes through demanding Blithe for Ren.

Ren manages to outwit his captors and make it to the bridge. A cybernetic being whose identity is never revealed speaks about the terror that the helmet he holds used to inflict and hands it over to Ren, along with the saber. Ren is told the story of Vader, including who is offspring were, and Ren is told he is free to go.

Luke Skywalker is haunted by visions of a dark future nightly. In his visions he sees an ultra powerful force wielder enslaving the Galaxy. He is in the middle of another one of these nightmares when the Falcon lands.

Finn, Han and Chewie follow Rey, who says she can sense Luke's presence. When they find Luke, Luke does not even remember Han and Chewie, and is angry for being disturbed.

Ren returns to Yavin and confronts his mother with everything the cybernetic being shared with him. She tells him it's all true. He reveals that the only thing he ever wanted was to be a Jedi, and says that if anyone could be able to teach him how to use the force, it would be Luke. She finally caves and tells him where Luke is. Poe confides in Leia what Blithe told him and she tells him to investigate.

As Finn, Han, Chewie, and Rey all try to reason with Luke, Onna Tarkin emerges from the shadows. She and Luke engage in a lightsaber battle, while Finn and Rey fight the Storm Troopers. Luke kills Onna and the troopers retreat. Rey tries to comfort Luke, but he has another vision as she touches him and he grabs her, demanding to know who she is.

Ren lands on the system and is surprised to see imperial craft He happens upon Luke threatening Rey, Finn, Han and Chewie, and when Luke sees Ren he receives a final vision of the villain that has haunted him removing their mask and it's Ren. Luke immediately attacks Ren, severing his arm and Han tries to restrain Luke, but Luke knocks him to the ground. As Luke is about to kill Ren, Han shoots Luke in the arm. Luke turns at Han and Han shoots again, and Luke deflects the laser into Han's chest. As Han falls, Luke snaps out of it and recognizes his friend. Luke comforts his friend as he dies in his arms, and weeps.

Chewie, Rey, and Finn comfort Ren and see that Luke has regained his sanity. Finn suggests they blame Han's death on Tarkin. They return to Yavin IV and hold Han's funeral. Luke tells Rey he will train her.

Aboard the Executioner II, an officer informs the cybernetic being that his daughter fell at the hands of Luke.
In an unknown location, Poe comes out of hyperspace and discovers that Blithe was telling the truth about a super weapon.

Ren alone in a hangar with a new mechanical arm destroys his X-wing using just the Force, an ability he was stated not to have. Movie ends.

 

Well that just got more and more ridiculous as it went on lol

 

How blithe of you.

 

I'll have to show this to Billy Dee.

 

It's amazing how desperate they tried to shoe horn every rumour they've read into the story. Awful.

 

Star Wars will never have a montage, and from then on I knew it was fiction

 

That read from Reddit is quite...entertaining. I kinda blackout after a while but...one thing that struck me or two things...

There are now two rumors of who uses the light saber in the Cantina. Finn and Rey.

And what if the Hutts actually owns Rey? Or what if they are her protectors?

 

This could be the Sith tomb that they are talking about.

 

Different variations of these same rumors have been floating around since August, people are just desperate to speculate.. Why not glance over the concept art yourself and come up with some theories? That's all these "sources" are doing anyway.

 

This picture to me reminds me of the picture at the header of Starwars7news.com

Reminds me of Luke going to the Emperor's lair.

 

Because it is literally impossible to replace a part on any mechanical device that has ever been created. Also note how this spoiler package doesn't identify the lightsaber as being Luke Skywalkers old one, you merged two spoiler packages.

 

Ummm....no

 

You realize I was not staying that as fact, yes?

 

Yes, indeed

 

We have glanced over the concept and come up with theories. A long time ago.
Most of this is rehashed, yes... with a sprinkle or two that's different... which some of us find interesting/entertaining/fun to debunk

What else would we do to kill time before something confirmed or official hits?

 

i love reading em Bobo!

the day after i've watched ep7 for the first time... this forum is my first port of call. I can't wait to wade through all the old wild theories, rumours and plot ideas.

asides that... dunno about you guys but i simply love reading anything star wars. I don't care whether it's canon, legend, believable, utter tosh or 1001 reasons to hate the prequels.

keep em coming
