Three certain actors arrive in Ireland!

At this point in TFA's production MSW was breaking news that Finn was a Stormtrooper and Rey was a scavenger. Helmet designs were leaked and the first concept art for Kylo was published. They had no idea what the final scene was. They actually knew far less about the plot than we do about now about VIII.

On February 20th, 2015, 4 months after filming ended, MSW published their first article that hinted at Luke being inactive for most of the film/might show up at the end.

We're only halfway through the shoot of VIII and we already know about this huge KoR fight scene, the outcome of the Resistance by the end of the film, and a few other story beats.

The security is in fact much more relaxed now that J.J is not at the helm. Rian isn't trying to do the "mystery box" that J.J was so adamant about. Because of this, a good amount of story beats have been leaked as early as they are in production.

 

yes ... I dont think she is loosing an arm but probably got hurt and I think that is what stops the battle between her and Ren he is not out to kill her i doubt that for a fight like this it cannot be more than a flesh wound when anakin lost a hand it was over something important like loss of the count (and DS plans) . When Luke lost his hand it was over a revelation of who his father was...now the green screen thing i am thinking is with the battle toward the beginning of Ren arriving on ac-to. But i could have that wrong ... if they are creating another battle from the future coming to the past of the resistance and first order if she is part of that she could be hurt. and this was be from her vision where Ren saves her .... .

you are not going to fix the rumormill it is out of control i take a point of view its bad entertainment...... what i cant stand about the rumor mill they cannot report just what the saw but they have to write their conclusions with it like it is fact...... they are going to be so surprised how far they are off of the story when we finally get 8

perceived story beats lol

 

Uh... I'm not talking about the "Fall of the Resistance" fake title leak. I'm talking about the MSW leak that stated the FO ambushes the Resistance and kills all of them except for Poe and a few others. Which I'd imagine is the leak that inspired the person who faked "Fall of the Resistance" to choose that title.

 

Yes is luke and rey will fight kylo and knighs of ren

 

they way the scene was revealed was that Luke fought the Knights and Rey and Ren fought which makes sense he was trying to keep Luke busy while he went for Rey (and not to kill her) He went in with a plan... I dont think he is stupid he knows how strong his uncle is that is why he set all of his knights on Luke to buy him time...... and no I dont Luke killed them ---they are going to be needed later in other scenes ... so i think he cut them up pretty good

you could be right.... I dont know about the fall of the resistance with Poe but there has to be others left .... I do buy the part where he is taking over the ship and has a gun to Derns characters head.... but I dont feel like we got all of the facts and motives there ......

 

@Winterstar is a good point but we don't know yet but you have a good point

 

I think the rumor mill read too much into that scene. If Ren is there --there is also a scene with all 3 of them in the hut talking and screaming about it too lol ---So I am not sure how afraid Ren is of his Uncle....

lol well that still leaves the mystery doesnt it lol

--- Double Post Merged, May 22, 2016 ---

yeah well i cannot argue the point 8 is leaking like a wet diaper.... no Rogue one not as much but then again we already have a sense of the storyline on that one but the scenes did not seem to leak as much . they have a tighter lid on that one

 

They'll be filming in Ireland until the end of May

As far as I understand it the leak is this:

Laura Dern's character is a high ranking official in either the Senate or the Resistance. She hears of a FO attack, but lets it happen. The attack goes through and they kill a large amount of the Resistance. Laura Dern assumes control of the only surviving members, which contains Poe and a few others. Poe sticks up to her and takes back the Resistance. The movie ends with Laura Dern ousted, a majority of the Resistance dead, Leia severely injured, and Poe the interim leader of the now small band of fighters.

 

Which makes sense why Rian showed the crew the film 12 o 'clock high.

 

New ship crash sequence as described by MSW, as well as pictures:

Spoiler

• There is smoke.
• A ship appears to have crashed.
• A group of men dressed as black knights with black helmets approach the smokey debris.
• All of the knights then kneel around the smokey location.
• It appears as if one of the knights perished in the crash or someone important is about to step out of it.

Did he just let slip that there may be more than 6 of them?

 

He's just speculating, since there were more than 6 black figures. Who knows.

 

the other is only speculation if that happens early in the film Luke tearing them up I am guessing that is what he did ----he did not kill them ----The knights would be needed in other battle scenes anyway but it is just a guess
