    With all the Rey cosplay, I guess Disney wants to cash in... maybe in 10 years...

    That is a wildly unbelivable rumor. But I'd actually be down with it. Perhaps if Rey is like crazy powerful with the force she can just continue the saga as Luke/Kylo's force ghost companion.

    I don't think anything this wild will happen in this trilogy, but I would absolutly love something this unexpected as a twist, and nothing relating to Rey's parentage could be that interesting.

    Yea, I figured as much. I just didn't want to spout some political stuff and not know what I'm talking about. I hear 4-chan and the whole ant-right thing came up. I wanted to stay away from getting into it when them if they were here and ruin others good time because this is Star Wars. Lol!

    That's good to know. I was under the impression it was strictly for alt-righties. I'm all for freedom of expression, but I didn't want to end up getting sucked into some debate about diversity and Star Wars and ruin others good time and get myself booted from what I've just come to realize is an outstanding forum board.

    I'm into boxing and have been at boxing scene for years. I joined here a few years ago but for some reason it didn't click it was the same kind of set up, but with something I hold even in more esteem, Star Wars. Political debates get heated, and I'd prefer to not do that here.

    Everyone here has so many awesome theories and this site is my go to for Star Wars news.

    Right on! Very estate. I figured the light saber thing was off because I heard he used it in shattered empire. But I didn't know about Battlefront II, that is great news. I can't wait to see Luke in that setting. My guess is it will be earlier in the game. But I'm missing information, and I'm assuming that the First Order was created not terribly long before Ep. 7 since the Republic hadn't universally deemed them a threat. I'm still trying to catch up with that timeline though.

    Battlefront II's campaign is set right after the Battle of Endor, and though it goes all the way to the Battle of Starkiller Base, I think that most of the story will cover the year or so of warfare that directly preceded the Battle of Jakku, along with the Battle of Jakku itself. It's been confirmed that you will play as Luke in an interlude, and he will most likely use his lightsaber considering that they seem to be reusing the same assets from the first game.

    The First Order took a while to form, as far as we can tell, but it can be summed up pretty succinctly. the Imperial Remnant who went into the Unknown Regions before the end of the war serve as the founders to the junta, who spend years amassing their armies. It's not until they gain sympathizers from within the New Republic that they're able to actually take steps in undermining the existing government, the process of which starts a little over half a decade before the events of The Force Awakens. But everything between Endor and Hosnian Prime's destruction was preparation for "the real war", as Iden Versio calls it.

    I really like this set up. There was a whole lot to like about Legends, and I'm some ways I miss the New Jedi Order and the Solo Jedi and Mara Jade, Ben Skywalke, but this feels natural to me. Not as pretty.

    There is some left to learn and the Skywalker name as of now is threatened to be extinct if Rey has no relation to Luke. But exciting nevertheless.

    Thanks for the update!

    If your interested about the political climate of the New Republic about 6 years out from TFA then I suggest you read Claudia Gray's Bloodline

    I did read it, it was good. That the Galaxy didn't learn about Vader being the father of Lea was pretty good plot line, and I wonder how it fits in.

    More stuff on Reddit that's bound to be as water tight as a mermaid's brassiere....

    Luke uses the force to take the light saber from Rey's outstretched hand. As he does she has another Force back.

    The Resistance is hurriedly trying to flee the Illenian system but are met by a First Order fleet. The fleet is lead by Captain Phasma.

    The Resistance sustains heavy losses and in process of evacuating the flagship is boarded. Poe and BB8 rush to wake up Finn and help get him off the ship. He's weak, but not like Wesley in the Princess Bride when he was mostly dead. Poe needs help assisting Finn and stops a panicking mechanic named Rose to help him get Finn to an escape pod.

    Leia is captured by Captain Phasma and her special unit.

    Rey wakes to find Luke conversing with birds. She thinks he's a loon watching the one sided conversations.

    Luke asks Rey who she is and how she found him. She takes him to the Falcon where Chewbacca and Artoo are waiting.

    Chewbacca embraces Luke who gets down to greet Artoo. Rey watches the exchange between the three longingly.

    Luke and Rey return to the hut and Rey insists Luke rejoin the fight. Luke states his days of fighting are over and the practice of Jedi fighting wars has ended. Rey becomes even more upset when Luke begins talking to the birds again, this time seemingly in an argument. Luke declares almost angrily that he will train Rey... if she can pass a test.

    Poe is piloting a freighter with Finn Rose and BB8 on board. He meets with the rest of the Resistance (or what's left of it) on an abandoned mining planet. Rose and BB8 take Finn to the med Bay while Poe is told of Leia's capture. After an argument with Admiral Holdo about launching a counter attack or gathering intel, Poe agrees the best recourse is an intel mission and covert extraction. Holdo says they need someone who can infiltrate a First Order occupied world and meet with a mole they have on the planet. Poe goes to the med Bay and tells Finn to rest up because he's got a mission for him.

    Leia is taken aboard a massive Star Destroyer. Phasma presents her to Snoke. Snoke and Leia trade barbs and Snoke is angry by the mention of Luke returning by the end of the conversation. He has Leia thrown in a holding cell. He brings up Hux on a hologram and tells him to inform Kylo Ren they have his mother.

    That's the end of the first act.

    Dude is claiming to have Acts 2 and 3 up for tomorrow and later this week.

    He sounds confident -

    "The best part is, he's not crazy. Huge spoilers for the climax of the movie:

    The birds save Rey in a duel with Kylo Ren. After this, she can hear them."

    And also saying in the comments that Kylo will interrogate his mother.

    Will have to follow this one....

    Hmm, pretty doubtful of any of this being legit. That being said, the version of events that this user presents actually sound like would make for a pretty entertaining movie regardless.

    Yeah, I've read worse.

    If you've read Treasure Island before I'm really hoping they don't make Luke out as some hopeless 'Ben Gunn' type character for the first part of the movie.

    It really isn't. None of this sounds implausible to me. These birds are hard to imagine, though. I'm not sure any description could do them justice; we'll just have to see them to see how it works.

    but the idea of Luke being semi nuts from being all alone on the Island isn't that far fetched. And i could see him rambling with the birds, for awhile. It would also be a fitting reflection of the Luke/Yoda dynamic from ESB without being a complete rip off. with him starting of more or less nuts and not willing to train Rey.

    Based on the the spoilers we have so far this fits what we know. So either this is legit or the person is writing a narrative that fits what we know.
