Considering how many shills and lying assholes there have been here as of late, I may as well be the only decent human being here.
I'm just a simple assistant on set, but I can answer most questions you may have about the movie. Pictures are limited since they don't let me use my phone on set but I still have a few to spare.
give us the plot of the entire movie, or what you've seen.
Ian Price
gibe plot now
Nicholas Evans
Thanks for doing this user. What can you tell us about the plot? I am especially interested in the end of the film, and the relationship between Kylo and Luke.
Grayson Fisher
Do you predict a bomb? How is morale?
Isaiah Jackson
Film starts off on a planet called Batoo which is a tie-in to the new Disney park. The Resistance is under attack by a new stormtrooper unit called Mountain Troopers. They are the film's version of the Scout Troopers from ROTJ to make sure you get your member berry fix.
>female trooper Jesus Christ. Is there time travel?
Caleb Baker
Batuu
Elijah Peterson
Please tell me you have some insight into the time travel speculation going around. Have you seen any materials/costumes from the previous trilogies on set?
Jaxon Brooks
Obviously the Mountain Troopers are with the First Order and most of the fight is like a cheap recreation of the Battle of Endor but without Ewoks because the jackasses in charge said "what if the war of Endor was less silly?". The fight will include the Kylo Ren-headed AT-STs from The Last Jedi. If you don't remember them here's the one that BB8 was riding.
That's not a female trooper. Its just a regular male trooper. As you can see its based on the scout trooper but some parts of the armor are based on the coastal troopers from Rogue One.
>I can answer most questions you may have Why do you feel compelled to go on the Internet and tell lies, OP?
Joseph Jackson
Going to treat this as legit because I'm bored anyway.
What has the chatter been like, specifically about the 8 fallout & the "future" of the franchise? Does it seem at all like they're trying to course correct?
Also, why the FUCK do they all seem to hate Mark Hamill so much? They never want to use him in anything, they could be doing a fucking animated series specifically about Luke to quell fan assblast, but they're not seemingly doing shit with him in the last years of his life.
Jaxon Jenkins
Its more like tearing up space but that stuff doesn't show up until the end of the movie during the final fight between Rey and Kylo Ren and its mostly happening because of Palpatine's spirit. Rey manages to hack Palpatine's power to do what he does like how she hacked into Kylo Ren in the first movie. She's like a sponge. The characters clash on the ruins of the Death Star but every time their lightsabers touch it sends them to a different moment in history on a different planet, like how Rey got swooped into those realistic visions in Force Awakens when she touched Luke's lightsaber. The end result is a "happy ending".
Caleb Russell
>I may as well be the only decent human being here. Works for Disney wars

Aiden Nguyen
>pedo hell One man's hell is another man's heaven.
Jackson Thomas
Interesting, tell us more. Luke's involvement?
Ryan Collins
This reminds me of that bullshit larp from pre-TLJ than had Rey diving into the pool to fight the alien-dragon-thing that turned out to actually be Anakin's spirit. Plus OP is only answering plot questions & not shit like this that someone hanging around set would easily be able to, given how gossip & overhearing shit works.
Oliver Nelson
kek
Angel Young
The pics he attached are new I think, reverse search says nothing.
Jayden Rivera
Is the emperor alive, or is the laugh we hear from his force ghost? Has Kylo been communing with him?
Colton Flores
Theyre called the aki aki. They live on the planet pasaana. Theyre just background characters who get attacked by the First Order when they go to pasaana to find Rey because Kylo wants to use her to help him stop Palpatine. Rey and her gang ran off here to hide after their team suffered their defeat on Dagobah. But they got split up.
Pasaana is where Rey and Kylo have their first formal fight that causes the first disturbances in time, where they briefly end up on Mustafar in front of Fortress Vader which causes Kylo to briefly be overwhelmed by Vader's presence that gives Rey the chance to strike back at Kylo. But the fight is interrupted by the arrival of Poe and the rest on a sand barge. They quickly pick up Rey before Kylo Ren can get his bearings straight and head towards a nearby town to hide out.
Tyler Powell
Eh, the OP pic looks more like concept art than a photo, and the 'mountain trooper' pic could have come from something else I'm unaware of, there's been a lot of fan shit made. Who knows.
Owen Torres
what is the ending, man, be specific.
Jackson Moore
>I will stand against all the problems Yea Forums has been having >with my studio rumor thread
Benjamin Green
what do you think of this video? are their predictions accurate?
They talk about this film being what will hopefully "revitalize the franchise". The film creates an alternate timeline that resets the the galaxy in an ambiguous way. They're doing this mainly to retcon TLJ in hopes of memory holing it and that it might make audiences open to more possible SW films. One of the plans was a second trilogy with X, XI and XII but after TLJ and Solo, plans for that were dropped as quickly as the Obi Wan Kenobi movie. They say that if IX performs well and reinvigorates interest in SW, then they will reconsider re-starting the fourth trilogy project but not the Kenobi movie.
>Also, why the FUCK do they all seem to hate Mark Hamill so much? They never want to use him in anything, they could be doing a fucking animated series specifically about Luke to quell fan assblast, but they're not seemingly doing shit with him in the last years of his life. Mark rubbed some of the people on set the wrong way during VII because he wanted the film to have a different ending where he, Ford and Fisher reunite. JJ wasn't fond of this or Mark overstepping his position. It sort of went like this.
>Mark: I just think its something the fans would enjoy and it would make a hell of a lot more sense to have people who actually know Han be there to witness his death. You could have Leia show up on the planet to save Han but she gets attacked, then we go in to save Han and >JJ: I appreciate your input Mark, I really do. But I think its best we do this from the writer's and director's POV. Relax. We know what we're doing. Trust that I know what I'm doing as director and I won't tell you how to be an actor. >Mark: Don't worry. I understand.
im just never giving two shits about star wars again. they can fuckin write whatever the fuck they want. its over man. D.E.D. dead
Benjamin Russell
Do you think Disney would ever sell it if movies, toys, etc continue to be a complete shitstorm?
Christopher White
Kylo Ren and Rey clash for the last time. During the clash they keep shifting through time. Palpatine is becoming more powerful but so is Rey. Rey with the help of a struggling Kylo Ren is able to subdue Palpatine by creating a tear in the Force sucking him and Kylo in a la Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But Rey refuses to let him die so she uses her newfound ability to alter space and time to change destroy Palpatine's spirit itself which causes countless of moments and planets to flash before Rey and the film ends with a narration telling the story of Luke which clips showing where the characters are now in some kind of epilogue. Showing Finn living on his homeplanet with his family, Leia and Han holding each other while looking over a balcony, Luke looking over the horizon and looks back to see a large cone-shaped building behind him and Rey is on Tatooine at Luke's old home walking towards the double sunset and looks at it the same way Luke did. She's then joined by Kylo Ren who puts his arm around her shoulder and the film irises out.
Easton Green
>The film creates an alternate timeline that resets the the galaxy in an ambiguous way Opening up the future rebooting of it as a whole I'd imagine.
If what you said about the shit with Mark is true, that has got to be the fucking pettiest shit I've ever heard for people responsible for a franchise they paid $4 billion for. He wasn't even divaesque about it, just expressing his take. And clearly he was fucking RIGHT about TLJ. That BTS doc was one of the most painful things I've had to watch.
Joseph Cooper
>they bring fucking Luke back Smartest decision they could ever possibly fucking make & the ONE way they actually stand any chance of revitalizing it.
Jacob Green
Not him but not a chance in hell. Disney would vault it indefinitely.
Parker Ward
Disney won't sale. To sale would be a huge compromise to Iger's credibility and would be admitting defeat. If the film should flop, they will attribute its failure to a simple decline in interest so as to not piss off shareholders by making them think that any failures lie with the audiences who are more interested in the MCU than SW.
Nathaniel Torres
that jew rat can burn in hell. mark overstepping his position... jesus christ, if i was there on set and saw jj talk shit to any of the OG OT actors id put him in the oven. i mad
Bentley Perry
gay, my stupid time travel theory was better where Rey wakes up on Tatooine not knowing who she is, can't talk, later they sell her into slavery where she collapses and it's revealed she's pregnant and gives birth to Anakin.
Also they call her the Skywalker because she fell out of the sky and was found by Jawa's or some stupid bullshit
Luis Collins
Exactly. To sell would be admitting defeat. They'd rather destroy it than admit that or give up what's theirs.
Nicholas Williams
>one polite conversation can end your career if someone thinks you've "overstepped your bounds" Sounds realistic for jewlywood.
Gabriel James
They're only doing it because they know they shat the bed with The Last Jedi.
Xavier Morgan
lol so basically they shit on the second film entirely.
yeah no shit we've been saying the only way to fix this mess was time travel for over a year it just depends on how they're gonna do it.
Leo Ross
>Leia and Han holding each other while looking over a balcony Confirmed fake as fuck unless Han is also CGI. Harrison Ford will never fucking agree to do a bit part of a character he absolutely hates.
Angel Bell
it's obviously gonna be a behind shot with old Leia hair
Zachary Thomas
he obviously will be cgi.
Blake Ortiz
Honestly I can absolutely see Ford doing a bit cameo for a pile of cash. Don't forget he still wants to do at least one more Indy & they have those rights too.
Matthew Mitchell
No OP, I am the only human being on Yea Forums.
Austin Carter
other than them not seeming to know what a force ghost is for some reason and that throws off all of their theories it was amusing
Lucas Garcia
man, as someone who follows the new canon, i really hope this doesn't change the way events happened and is only a revival of characters.
Carson Garcia
Who is Rey though?
Jace Williams
lol wtf and I thought Endgame was shitty this is gonna be a whole new level of crapulance
Hudson Gonzalez
no one, just a random person chosen by the force to set thing straight apparently.
Robert Foster
it's gonna splinter the universe so they can make shitty alt universe start wars tv shows for streaming just like they did with endgame
Aiden Torres
What a train wreck of a trilogy. Disney should be sued for wasting everyone's time with this shit.
>IX causes an alternate timeline that makes Legends canon again
Would be based.
Chase Long
Matt Smith, what does Matt Smith do?
Benjamin Anderson
He's CGI. Hence why its just a silent cameo in the ending scenes.
Charles Diaz
>wendig posting in 2019
there's more to the new canon than what he wrote.
Jace Cruz
wtf is this window into the mind of schizo from?
Aaron Hughes
Yeah except they then fuck it up by bringing in woke crap into it.
Nathaniel Morris
that's not what happens. legends is still non canon and different from the actual canon. for instance jaina, anaki, and jacen would never exist.
Sebastian Flores
You’re wrong, I do believe.
If they’re splitting the universe there would be unlimited timelines so at some point Legends actually did happen.
Logan Sanders
Whoever is working on the stormtroopers designs is clearly the only one who cares
Julian Butler
>Why do you feel compelled to go on the Internet and tell lies, OP?
Why do little faggots like to play dress up in Mommy's clothes? Same thing, same reasons.
Jonathan Rogers
He is a Knight of Ren, the one with the waffle mask called Kane. He and the other knights along with the Sith Troopers were sent in search of the nexus where Palpatine's spirit is operating from. This is JJ's way of explaining why they weren't in TLJ. The Knights report that they've found a clue to find the object they seek which takes them to Dagobah. What Kylo Ren doesn't know is that Kane is possessed by Palpatine and he's secretly manipulating Kylo Ren. This eventually results in a schism between the Sith Troopers loyal to Kylo Ren and the ones loyal to Kane. Kylo Ren confronts Kane on the ruins of the Death Star and fights him with Rey but when they kill him Palpatine possesses Kylo Ren.
The other knights of Ren are not important but they're called Haru, Mika, Shiro, Zara and Kato. They're all killed by Kane before the final act.
Jack James
At some point in the Reylo duel it causes a divergence in time at the precise moment Sheev was defeated, leading to the birth of the Solo twins, Dark Empire, Vong invasion, One Sith etc.
Adrian Bell
His is the pillar and foundation on which the rest of the garbage is written from. Next you're gonna tell me Holdo, Rae Sloane and Chelli Aphra are good characters.
Fuck disney for treating hamil that way. He knows what's best for star wars better than they do
Nathaniel Phillips
That's why they're rebranding it and starting it off as a new timeline. They're currently deciding whether to keep the Legends tab or rename it to Legacy. Also you're a fag.
Hell no, we lucked the fuck out with them de-canonizing the EU & wanting to do their own thing. They would've irrevocably ruined it. Now it can always safely exist separate from the Mouse's shit.
Bentley Brooks
lol this was also part of my theory they have a battle so big it fucks with time
Adrian Hughes
No. The Knights of Ren don't use lightsabers. They use medieval looking weapons like swords, staffs and axes with wires attached or circuits attached that release electricity. Kato uses grenades and a blaster with his weapon and Shiro carries a heavier gun.
>Rey and Kylo's battle with Palpatine creates a te rift that makes the legends canon be the true cankn again. Would be legit great of this trology is a "bad ending" of sorts and that's why Luke, Han amd Leia failed at everything in life and died like idiots. If it's explained as Sheev doing something at the time of his death and Rry and Kylo undoing it, leading to the "good ending" of Luke and Mara Jade, Han amd Leia, light side Ben Solo, etc
Gavin Sanchez
Exactly. Legends not being canon is for the best, especially since Disney seems determined to portray Han as a loser and Luke as a black teen chaser
maybe they should've had an actual plan instead of just making it up as they went along
James Rodriguez
>Defending Star Wars post Disney buyout Christ dude, give up.
Liam Reed
That's the new look of the Knights.
Daniel Murphy
So besides the Luke flashback, the blue Skywalker saber and Kylo's saber are the only lightsabers we see throughout the entire trilogy?
I thought Disney want to sell toys
Ryder Diaz
Fucking THIS. They replaced a carefully constructed, detailed miniature model by shitting in a contractor's bag until it filled & going "NOT GOOD ENOUGH, INCELS??"
Easton Hall
Rey builds a new saber. Luke's green saber is in the film.
Parker Edwards
Yeah, it's just funny that the most elite bodyguards for the supreme leader of a galaxy spanning empire equip themselves as if they are scroungers in a post apocalyptic wasteland.
Evan Lewis
I'll always consider it tragic we'll never get the Sword of the Jedi series, but with the way things have turned out I'm glad it's all just being left alone. It'll likely stay that way because Rey looks fucking TERRIBLE as a character compared to Jaina.
Nolan Morgan
Is Rey's new saber boring ol' blue again? Or something different like yellow?
Gavin Green
Are you able to tell us how the title ties into the movie? Are ‘Skywalkers’ a new term for Jedi-like force users that Rey trains as some have guessed?
John Jones
During production they were considering adding a new dual blade lightsaber with both red and blue beams for one of the knights of ren, the one called Shiro since he dresses in black and his name means white in Japanese to show off her dual nature, but the concept was scrapped. The reason they wanted to do a blue and red saber was because the movie is drawing a lot of ideas from unused concept from TFA. Including the underwater Falcon scene that's used to explore the Death Star. I'll post a pic in my next post.
I want it to be purple so JJ is called out for cultural appropriation
Jack Butler
Spend 4 billion on star wars. Hit back to back home runs, everyone happy, money flowing in like they dreamed about. Then out of the fucking blue, they ignore all voices of reason and flush the entire thing down the toilet, crashing the franchise into the ground, losing out on billions in potential revenue when all they had to do was change and edit the last jedi before releasing it. I would love to know the salaries these assholes get
Brandon Flores
>Are ‘Skywalkers’ a new term for Jedi-like force users that Rey trains as some have guessed? No. Its to reference Luke's revival and the time reset. I'm not sure how that rumor even got started.
Don't know, but I've seen that image before. The Mountain Trooper is new to me though.
Jayden Young
The most likely ones to leak keep it short and are usually pissed off.
Aaron Jackson
>when all they had to do was change and edit the last jedi before releasing it Fuck's sake it would've gone differently if they'd just deleted the ONE scene of Luke dying. Not fucking doing that after Carrie died & all their existing plans for 9 were off the table was fucking braindead. Arguably the single biggest, most easily averted mistake in cinema history.
Jace Perry
Just like Futurama points out, it's a retarded idea because it's built to withstand vacuum & atmosphere, not intense deep water pressure.
Robert Morgan
If this is a larp it's a good one, OP has clearly done his homework.
Ian Sullivan
>It doesn't matter because it looks cool >Stop thinking about it so much, bro JJ Abrams needs to be stopped! youtube.com/watch?v=jWcaAmTO2TE
Owen Butler
What do they have against redheads?
Wyatt Torres
JJ pulled the same retardedness in Star Trek: Into Darkness, which is even worse because the Enterprise isn't even supposed to be capable of atmospheric flight. JJ does what he thinks looks cool, universe be damned.
Aaron Hughes
Its actually pretty embarrassing. The heads originally talked about how they expected to make back double what they paid for it within 5 years and it looked to be that way during the first few years. Initially making back 2 billion with TFA, close to 1 billion with RO and at least a billion in merchandise sales, but then TLJ happened. While TLJ did make them over a billion it negatively impacted the sales for everything else which were already declining a bit, but after TLJ a lot of sales nosedived even further, especially toys.
The profits are looking even worse now due to wasting 3 billion dollars on the new Star Wars parks in Florida, California and Paris. The low turn out for the Disneyland park has been a huge blow to Lucasfilm financially speaking. So far Disney hasn't bee able to even make back half of what they paid to get the franchise and in order for it to become a success they needed to make at least 8 billion by the time Solo came out. That's the reason why they were pumping out movies annually to see if they could make back what they paid for as soon as possible.
Cameron Cox
I wish I knew... People really fucking hate redheads these days. Is this because of the potato famine?
Aiden Walker
I am pissed. I didn't want to keep it short because I want this to fail. If I say enough hopefully it'll make others realize there's nothing to be scared of and will follow my example and post even more than I have.
Parker Parker
Because Celts are the true white people. That's why there's mockery of ginger people, red-headed characters being swapped with nigs and general erasure of any redheads in pop culture. They fear the ancient spirit of cymorrbbgwywnngrb'wurbfwyggngwyr
Samuel Rodriguez
I still can't get over how ugly they made the aliens. Wtf was that Davies guy thinking?
Do we get any more info on who Snoke was and what his plans and origins were? After how abruptly he was killed off in TLJ, he seems kind of like a joke now.
Matthew Evans
THIS H I S
Who is Snoke?
Angel Lopez
He was Palpatine's last host. Snoke is an alien from the unknown parts of the galaxy who was obsessed with the dark side. He went around collecting sith relics like rocks from Vader's castle and gold from Palpatine's throne room. How he did this is never explained. Eventually he found the relic channeling Palpatine's spirit. Through it he was seduced and possessed.
This has an ominous ring of truth. One, it's retarded, which means it's probably right. Two, in the Rebels show, there are Jedi temples that are 'cone-shaped buildings'.
that guy second on the left definitely not samoorhy!
Caleb Diaz
Not until TLJ
The prequels are still terrible but at least they were a good foundation for great lore. Creative and interesting ideas at the very least even if they ruined the original trilogy.
Aiden Murphy
The difference between star trek and star wars is that trek has actual shielding and deflector arrays meant to withstand not only the vacuum of space, but also intense alien environments, including extreme pressures. Fuck, how many times have the ships almost been crushed by the gravity well of a star or a black hole? How bout that time voyager dove in to a literal sea planet?
Charles Carter
dessert planet. haha
Jaxson Garcia
Any info about Sneed?
Michael Jones
star trek tech far outclasses star wars tech but star wars tech is stagnant as all hell probably because they move much faster than star trek, I think it takes them a week to get across the entire galaxy, in star trek it takes you a week to go from one sector to the next and 75 years to get out of a quadrant so they need much more powerful tech to defend themselves, star wars you can run and gun in a few hours there isn't enough time to develop anything new.
Brandon Robinson
Yes. Please come back, George. You can even direct if you want to.
Ian Allen
sounds bad enough to be true op
Nathan Jones
>its real JJ truly is a hack if all he can do is just try and repeat ROTJ with a time travel gimmick to try and fix his and Rian's own lazy bullshit.
literally a repaint of the shoretrooper from rogue one. fucking abrams you hack kike
Jayden Flores
Look at all those droopy-faced, lumpy, earth tone aliens. Truly, Disney has been doing a good job portraying the Star Wars universe as having a vibrant range of colorful and fascinating alien life.
Ryan Lopez
I guarantee you the guy designing the aliens in British
>That's the reason why they were pumping out movies annually to see if they could make back what they paid for as soon as possible.
And the more they did that the more they devalued Star Wars. I still see those fucking Solo blind box toys on store shelves.
Kayden Flores
Lol this writing
Levi Cruz
>Another redhead role turned into a nigger one This is getting ridiculous
Angel Foster
I was on set for 80% of principle. Lets find out how LARP you are.
What was the color of tape on every below-the-line walkie?
For week wraps what was the special food brought in on set. It was in crafty so you can't say that you didn't eat on set.
Evan Morris
Inward pressure underwater is much MUCH higher than in space. All our vessels like the Space Shuttle would be crushed at depths that nuclear submarines operate at for example. So this kinda thinking is a littlw retarded but I'm not gonna complain too much, its space fantasy and all. But come on, if George was doing this he wouldnt miss the chance to make a cool new ship for them to use. New ship = more toys. Are they even using their brains?
Battle barge Anarchy's Heart gets lost in the warp, ends up above the planet with Rey and the rest of trash on it and orbitally bombards the entire surface with macroshells that have 50 meters in diameter.

>JJ wasn't fond of this or Mark overstepping his position. Jesus Christ, do these Hollywood retards think filmmaking is like being in the fucking Army?
David Ortiz
Isn’t the new “canon” just a shitty ripoff of certain EU events and people? Like the whole empire going into hiding at the emperors command and then defeating the new republic is from dark empire and Kylo Ren is very similar to Jacen Solo from the EU. Don’t think even the EU had as shitty a character as Rey though.
>Disney extending the Star Wars story, axing the Expanded Universe for a fresh start >fuck it up so much within four years that they have to start all over again with reboot alternate-timeline bullshit
Luke Davis
I guess you're the only way to get some answers because I am sure we're not gonna get any from the movie
