How about Miguel Sapochnik? He’s directed some of the best episodes of Game of Thrones, which kinda fits with Rian Johnson having directed some of the best Breaking Bad episodes and J.J. Abrams having directed some…episodes…of TV shows.

Snoke Question Mark

And look over there - The entire villain is one big mystery box. Note the question mark on his forehead.

As opposed to this mirrored question mark on Obi-Wan’s forehead in Episode I concept art. I guess tattoo removal is very advanced in the GFFA.

Don’t you mean a Northrop XB-35 flying wing?

Or a YB-49?

Or a Horten Ho 229 for that matter?

Ah yeah i ment this things. Flying wings…

I’m glad they have a mental connection but fuck all that.

Could it be possible that when Luke went to look for the first Jedi Temple he crashed landed on Anch-To with no means of contacting anyone? Notice the underwater X-Wing in this Topps card: https://i.imgur.com/qAslnbf.png. He probably had no parts to repair it and if he tried to reach out to Leia with the force then Snoke could block it out. In the Aftermath novels she claims something dark was surrounding her unborn son, it could be likely that the dark force that Snoke was surrounding Leia/Ben with was also blocking Leia’s force abilities. Leia feeling Han’s death in TFA could be explained because of Snoke worrying about Starkiller Base imploding and not focusing attention to Leia. After all, Snoke’s plan has been about keeping Luke out of the fight so removing his force connection to his sister would be a priority. Snoke does not know where Luke is but has managed to tear apart the connections to his family. Luke hasn’t been hiding but has instead been trapped on Anch-To. Rey and the Falcon is his way out, but since he has been living here for 2-3 years and learned a great deal about how he was trained incorrectly as a Jedi due to the ancient books he finds on the planet could be why he is reluctant to leave as he has given up hope for Ben and his abilities in this time. The whole “Map to Luke” could and has been explained more as a map to Anch-To using Imperial records and would explain that Luke didn’t leave a map since in this theory he was trapped there with no way back. It may make Luke look a little silly being that he went so far away without a backup plan to get back instead of him abandoning his family and friends in the wake of Ben becoming Kylo Ren. But then again, Luke has always been a little bit silly with his actions (ex. throwing his lightsaber away in the finale to ROTJ) so it fits his character.

Thoughts?

Can one fly an X Wing without a droid in the socket? There’s a dead R2 or BB unit lying around there somewhere!

I finished Leia: Princess of Alderaan and there were a few Last Jedi hints:

  1. Crait was the sight of a Rebel Base set up by Bail Organa. The white stuff is salt over red soil.
  2. Amilyn Holdo was with Leia in the Apprentice Legislature and colors her hair a lot. She’s into astrology of different planets and is a bit loopy. It’s implied that she will join the Rebellion as she supports taking action against the Emperor is the only option left.

It seems like people are really embracing the new characters. In fact, the big question people ask me now about Star Wars is, “Are Finn and Poe gay lovers?” And really how the f*ck would I know? My second husband left me for a man, so my gaydar isn’t exactly what you’d call Death Star level quality. ----Carrie Fisher

I guess? … R2 was “dead” at the end of Star Wars for a few minutes.

I should have said, can someone fly a long haul trip across the galaxy without a droid in the socket? Obviously Luke could get back to Yavin without Artoo’s help.

R2D2 was visited by the spectre of an old R5 unit he abused in his youth

Obviously Luke could get back to Yavin without Artoo’s help.

I guess it flies on manual too. Right into a swamp.

I was about to say Artoo could have a near death experience in Frink’s next edit. 😉

I honestly don’t care if this is spoiled for me. Not sure why, but I don’t.

I don’t care either. The ST joins TCW in the realm of interesting but essentially inconsequential possible worlds which, to me, aren’t part of the “real” SW Universe.

I hope the next two sequels come out all right, but I have no real emotional investment in The Adventures of Rey Random to speak of, so I remain an apathetic sumbitch.

Not that it applies, but according to one source, an R2 unit is needed to both repair the ship and to plot hyperspace travel. A full fledged Jedi can plot their own hyperspace travel so if the X-wing was in good repair, he wouldn’t need an R2 unit in the back to fly the ship.

Sounds like someone’s ripping Dune off again. 😛

Okay real talk…

Where’s Lando? That better be his casino. Wedge and Prune Face can be hanging out too.
