    Yeah, it's most likely fake. Nonetheless there is some interesting stuff which I would like to see in the actual movie. For the example the ending with Kylo and Rey disappearing together.

    Sooooo Rey is Harry Potter and Kylo is Voldemort? (Aside from the awkward hug)

    I kinda dig the idea that Rey will run off more or less willingly with Kylo at the end. Not in the obvious romantic way, but as two lost people searching for answers and perhaps together trying to take on snoke. If both luke and the others don't know for sure why Rey jumped ship, there could be an interesting conflict with all three sides in EP 9.

    You do realize this is a fake plot summary, right?

    Off course i do, but i just mean that i don't think thats a bad plot//story point. And it will be interesting to see where the movie actually goes

    New image of the Praetorian Guards, thank to Reddit:

    If you scroll down the comment section, you'll find some intriguing argument. There are people saying that the Praetorians are actually 6 or 8, each one with a different weapon and helmet. The most natural thing is to relate them with the KORs. So, I throw my very brutal and totally personal thought here: what if the Praetorians are what the KORs became under Snoke's tiranny?

    I don't like it, especially when I've read they are going to use melee weapons. I mean... seroiusly? Too bad Secret Service didn't realise so far that staffs, axes and halberds are the best for guarding the POTUS. And yes - Swiss guard uses rifles, halberds are just for show.

    Great, but lightsabers were used by a group of gifted Jedi who trained since their childhood. Jedi are absolutely special. But when I see stormtroopers with maces etc - it's a bit retarded. Like a stormtrooper dropping his blaster and fighting with melee weapon...

    We have starships, weapons shooting lasers - ok, we may have some sort of melee weapons but it shouldn't be widely used or used by some elite units (except Jedi, they are, as I said, absolutely special) just as modern army prefer to use ranged weapons instead of swords and maces.

    Yet in a gffa many use mellee weapons like Jabbas thugs and Ewoks and so. Knowing you are a Stormtrooper, who can't shoot straight, a melee weapon makes a lot of sense;).

    I started reading that reddit and the google doc. But then I started souring on the plot spoilers. Personally, i want all the "people, places, & things" I can get, but want to avoid the plot spoilers. I know - that's walking a tightrope to some degree.

    I'm assuming that the new melee weapons that the stormtroopers have are issued specifically in case Luke Skywalker turns up. Snoke seems very worried about him. so I assume they are weapons for neutralising jedi specifically. Same with these guards. Snoke wouldn't be scared of a guy with a blaster. but he would be scared of Luke.

    I'm sure everything will be all right. In SW guards uses staffs since Grievous' Magna Guards. So I have no problem to accept another generation of useless but very very cool sci-fi swiss guards...

    ... unless they turn to have striped pants. This would bother me a little.

    I think the reason he mentioned light sabres was because Force users returned fire right back at the shooter. Where as plasma weapons and electro staves are good to not have your own fire returned.

    Interesting thought there.
    I know Jason from MSW has said that the red guards are actually called the Elite Praetorian Guard so what if the KoR are the non-elite version of them?

    The last podcast he did makes him seem insistent that there aren't KOR in this next movie.
