    I can't believe they haven't brought back Lando. I thought his absence in TFA was very odd, but I assumed he would show up in the next one. Perhaps he's filmed a cameo they'll reveal later? I hope so.

    While I'm open to just about any of the Rey's origin theories, l'll be disappointed if she is some type of clone or reincarnated character. I just don't like the idea of them

    That being said, I am confident in RJ and that we are going to end up with a good story

    All of that was intented to foreshadow bowcaster's destructive power so that when Kylo gets shot the fact that he survives gives us a proof of how strong his will is and also makes him significantly weaker for fights with Rey and Finn.

    Well, I mean, I'm going in expecting a film that could challenge the OT as my favourite three SW films based solely on the director: I've loved his other work, such as Brick and Looper, and this guy hasn't missed a beat in any of his independent films.

    That being said, the worst thing that could happen in TLJ, in my opinion, is the worst thing that could happen behind the camera (and please note that I have full faith in RJ, so this is just a "what if?" scenario): he finds himself out of his depth with his first major blockbuster film and, as thus, relies too heavily on the tropes and themes of past SW entries (TESB in particular) to tell the story of TLJ. I love RJ for his originality and unique storytelling techniques that he has used in his past films, and can think of nothing much worse for this film than him not staying true to his filmmaking style.

    For me, the worst think that can happen and that I fear that will happen is for Disney to ruin the concept of the Jedi as Lucas created it. Little by little I am seeing Disney take SW apart to give us their own take of a sci fi action series. First we had Rey in TFA defy all Jedi teachings that we had been shown in both the OT and the PT and then we saw a blind warrior monk who made the need of a Jedi obsolete. Now, I hear Luke of all people say that it's time for the Jedi to end. That might turn into something truly disgraceful and it would be spitting on the face of the wonderful story that Lucas created.

    They messed up the story, they eliminated the wonderful alien filled galaxy far far away that George created to give us humans left and right and now they may ruin the Jedi by coming up with some lame new concept or evolution for the Jedi.

    That's my fear too. But I loved TFA and Chirut too.

    I think that in the end they can't stray to far from the Jedi because of the reasons you suggest it deviates too far and if they twist so that the image of the jedi they loose the positive association with Jedi for 6 of the movies they get to sell merch from.

    Jedi does seem too valuable a name, old or new, to make it obsolete. The "new Jedi" will still be Jedi. just.... newer. :p

    I really think Disney doesn't even care about selling merch like Lucas did my friend. Just look at how rotten it has becaome for us figure collectors. While I am not a hardcore fan of TFA, I have to admit that it had a few things that I would have loved to own as toys:
    ! figures I want.JPG
    Yet Disney didn't care for non of this and instead preferred to give us lame battle armor Finns and diver Kylo Rens. Had this movie been made by George Lucas, I would have had a Rathar toy maybe even before TFA had hit the movie theatre. Look at RO as well and you will see the very same thing. Toy isles filled with the main characters, a few imperials and nothing more. What chance do we have of getting that tentacled alien or some white skinned Mon Calamari now that episode 8 is just months away?

    PS: I also loved Chirrut Imwe. What I don't love is how Disney is making the Jedi seem as something that wasn't really needed.

    For me, the worst thing that could happen in the sequel trilogy already happened. Because of this, I have keenly neutral expectations for TLJ.

    If you twisted my arm, though, I'd say that the worst thing that could happen in TLJ would be never actually getting to know Ben Solo as a human being rather than just as Snoke's pawn. I want to know his motivations, his personality, (you know, aside from throwing tantrums and murdering old men). :(

    I think you will get to see him murder Snoke and try to run the galaxy. But I think you will learn alot about his tantrums.

    So many 2 list but the my biggest disappointment will be Rey not a clone or related to the Skywalkers.

    I want Ren 2 dy.
    I want Jedi Fin.
    I want Force Ghosts.
    I want to see Phasma or TKOR kicking ### or both.
    A story that's not a rehash of V.
    No Reylo.

    But I'll trade all of that 4 Rey Solo-Clone-Walker. Han is gone, Leia won't be in 9, Darth Emo is probably ded as a duck in 9. Don't kill off this family I love Disney. Please dont!

    Oh yeah I'll trade all of it........except Reylo! Reylo is just bad!
