RUMOR CONTROL...THESE ARE THE FACTS

[Anderson]

  Spoiler: A4 spoiler? 

[Martin]

I fully expected that, but fuck that, I'll have misty eyes when it happens.

[B_Metal]

Yeah, expected but was hoping against it.

[Anderson]

I had another stupid early spoiler drop in my lap. Still background checking it, as it's way too early.

[Anderson]

  Spoiler: Here goes nothing. 

So, dude that gave me some looks at early Phasma designs for 9 says he's got real material on Episode 9 vs. what 4Chan leaked on the 3rd.

It's 5 years later.

Kylo Ren refuses to return to the Core Worlds to rule as an Emperor. He's pushing his fight to pick off the last of the force users. Anyone that shows any ability is ordered to be turned over to him for execution.

Hux is pissed, as he feels the First Order belongs to him. So, he leaks into to the new Rebellion/Resistance. They've been scoring big wins since TLJ, as more systems join them.

On the edge of the galaxy, Kylo Ren is working the military of the First Order to death as they keep manufacturing massive weapons for a bigger battle. Key members of the New Republic and related factions are sent there to work themselves to death for an impending War.

Rey is now the last Jedi Master. She has a few students. Some are implied to be the stable kids. She's working to hide the last Force users from Kylo Ren and the Knights of Ren.

The Knights have returned from their secret mission, but only 6 are left. Kylo continues to order them to pick off the last Force users. They don't know that ultimately Kylo wants them dude too. The only ones left will be Kylo and Rey.

Things keep building, as Kylo's ultimate plot is revealed.

The things in the uncharted parts of space were loyal to Snoke. They find out Snoke is dead and they're preparing to invade. Kylo is arming his 'Empire' to the teeth to eradicate these enemies the moment they step into the regular space worlds.

Outside of that, dude says he has no more storyboards.

Claims the 4Chan stuff about a Rey love child and Leia being there is bullshit.

He also says that life support armor Phasma has been cut with it seeming that Gwendoline Christie has been cut from the movie.

The big rumor he tacked on the bottom is the Disney plan going forward. Apparently, Kathleen Kennedy is done with the idea of trilogies. Basically, this movie won't wrap up a Sequel Trilogy. It's just going to be Episode installments moving forward.

So, that happened.

  Spoiler: A4 spoiler? 

Honestly... I don't get it? What's the spoiler?

[Anderson]

Honestly... I don't get it? What's the spoiler?

It's more confirmation for people. I hide as a spoiler for the normies.

[gravedigger]

Oh, I see what might be considered a spoiler assuming one of the things Anderson mentioned on the previous page is true.

[Anderson]

Oh, I see what might be considered a spoiler assuming one of the things Anderson mentioned on the previous page is true.

I don't bring it up unless I've been given enough info to assume it so.

  Spoiler: Let's spoil SOLO 

long time ago and gffa

Opening is more text than title crawl.

First scene is Han carjacking a speeder with Khaleesi.

Han and Khaleesi get split up, as the Imperial nab him and Khaleesi gets kidnapped by gangsters.

To beat a prison sentence, Han enlists with the Imperial Military. There is where he gets his name. He's an orphan that is only called Han. So, the Empire calls him Han Solo and then drafts him.

3 years later and Han is an Imperial Military officer.

Han is on a muddy shit world where he busts Woody Harrelson and his crew. He could get them arrested for sneaking around Mudtrooper uniforms and trying to steal Imperial weapons, but he wants out of the Empire. So, he cuts a deal with Woody to leave.

Woody fucks him over and leaves Han to get stuck with the crime and for deserting.

Han gets stripped of his rank and thrown into a pit to die. The Imperials bet money on making deserters fight prisoners. The winning prisoner is Chewie.

Chewie is beating the fuck out of Han until Han tries to break through by speaking some Wookiee language. Han succeeds and Chewie understands. Chewie understands Basic, but can't speak it. So, the duo stops the fight and makes a plan.

Han and Chewie escape in the night and meet up with Woody and crew.

Next is the big train robbery on snow mountain planet. Woody camps out with the crew and Woody gives Han his signature gun.

Basically, Han's pistol is broken down rifle that Woody can't use anymore. So, Han repurposes it as a pistol.

Woody's crew gets peak off by about 80%. Thandie Newton blows herself up to derail the train.

Rio (Jon Favreau) gets killed by rival bandit Nest and his speeder bike goons. When Rio dies, Han takes over as pilot. To get everyone out of trouble and save Woody & Chewie. Han dumps his fuel cell load to distract Nest and the criminals.

Chewie, Han and Woody go to meet crime lord Vos Dryden (Paul Bettany) on a space yacht. Han finds Khaleesi on the ship and they try to reconnect.

Dryden says to get the fuel cells to pay off what they owe and deal with him, they have to make the Kessel run. It's unrefined fuel that needs to be refined before it explodes. He's lost multiple ships, but thinks they can do it.

Dryden sends Khaleesi with the heroes to make sure they do to the job. So, the four go to a bar and meet Lando. Han and Lando play Sabaac, but it's not that game. Lando wins, but admires Han. So, he agrees to fly Han and the crew when he gets busted cheating.

COOL SCENE: L3 is introduced trying to talk droids out of fighting for the bar's entertainment. Cool idea.

Lando and everyone has to rescue the Falcon from an impound lot. They break the ship out as a crew and fly off.

To approach Kessel, you have to fly through space debris, flying dirt and mine dust before you can land.

All of the mines are underground, but the mines are stuffed full of worker droids.

L3 wants to free them, but everyone is like keep it under your hat. While they make a plan, L3 starts removing restraining bolts.

Woody breaks out his disguise and it's Lando's Skiff Guard uniform from ROTJ. Apparently, Lando has had it on the Falcon for ages.

L3's sudden freedom starts a droid rebellion. That's going good until Chewie spots a fellow Wookie and then some more slaves. This starts Wookie rage rebellion alongside KILLER DROID REBELLION.

L3 gets shot to hell trying to provide cover, while Lando tries to save her. Lando grabs her too hard and her body snaps in half. Lando gets shot saving her, so he can't fly.

Everyone gets what they need and now Han and Chewie have to fly the Falcon to safety.

Now, the Star Destroyers are over Kessel looking for who kicked off a slave rebellion. Han panicks, as the destroyers just dump tons of TIEs on them. So, Han and Chewie agree to do the actual Kessel Run. The Run is through a minefield of exploding gas, debris and native creatures.

The problem is at the end of the Run is a black hole.

BIG CATCH: L3 is the Falcon's navigation system. As her body dies, Lando uploads L3 into the Falcon's brain. L3 is the computer 3P0 was talking to on the ship in Empire.

The Kessel Run monsters are just fucking up the Falcon, breaking off pieces as it starts to become the ship we all know.

Woody loads a fuel cell they stole into the ship and the ship goes super fast and survives.

The gang goes to fuel cell refinery planet to refine their explosive cargo. Nest and the speeder bike gang from Snow Mountain are there to steal the cargo.

This is where the 30 guys on the ship clip comes from, as Lando leaves Han to die.

Nest takes off 'his' helmet to reveal that he is a she. It's a younger woman in charge that reveals her plan. Basically, their people have been fucked over and they want to stop the galaxy's criminals from getting free fuel.

Khaleesi and Space Scarface (Paul Bettany) marvel over the fuel, as no one gets a plan is going down. The fuel is refined, but will explode if dropped.

Space Scarface realizes fuel is fake. Then, he goes after Han. Han reveals that Woody got killed for this shit and that they got fucked. What they don't know is Woody ratted them out to Space Scarface and that Khaleesi wants to fuck Han.

Woody shows up after the double cross and pulls a Blaster on everyone. They all fight, as Khaleesi kills Space Scarface.

Han didn't know all of this and brought the real shit to Space Scarface. With Scarface dead and Woody gone, Han gets to bring the real shit back for profit.

Khaleesi calls DARTH FUCKING MAUL to make a side deal to give him the fuel. DARTH FUCKING MAUL, MOTHERFUCKER SHOWED ME A CLIP AND IT'S DARTH FUCKKKKKING MAUL.

Let me reiterate, DARTH FUCKKKKKKKKKING MAUL.

Khaleesi is Maul's agent for the last 3 years. Han goes after Woody to make him pay. Woody tries to talk Han out of turning him over to the gangsters. But, Han walks up and shoots Woody in the chest while he's pleading for his life. HAN SHOOTS FIRST again.

Han and Chewie make things right and give the fuel to Nest's good guy gang. They ask good guy gang what they want with it, they're going to give it to the Rebel Alliance.

Han and Chewie are proud, then leave to find Lando. He's on a casino planet with more aliens. They hug and Han steals Lando's magic cheater card. Lando plays Sabaac and Han beats him while revealing he stole his cheat card.

The prize: The Falcon.

The movie ends on Han and Chewie stating they need to make money, so they'll go Tatooine. Woody was going to pick up a contract with Jabba and now it's their contract.

They jump to lightspeed.

[BillyG]

That sounds WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY fucking better than I ever considered.

  Spoiler: More spin-off movies 

Kenobi is in pre-production under the name Joshua Tree. Plan is to shoot next Spring, as Episode 9 is going to start shooting this summer on same stage.

Stephen Daldry is directing again after agreeing to forgo a say on the script.

The movie is now taking place 2 months before A New Hope. It's being called a near immediate prequel to A New Hope.

There is talk of restaging the Darth Maul duel from Rebels for the film, but the film is supposed to be more about Kenobi getting his affairs in order before the start of the Original Trilogy.

[Martin]

Meh. I would have wanted a Kenobi movie less geriatric.

[Martin]

But Solo?

HOLY FUCK.

[BillyG]

2 MONTHS before A New Hope? Are they going full CGI Alec Guiness?
