So is their a keeper of the lore at this point? Someone that while maybe not writing and adding to it, basically fact checks and keeps themselves in the canon?

Sith existed before the prequels. Darth Vader was "Dark Lord of The Sith" in merchandise and novelizations of the movies for years, and in the original script for A New Hope, General Motti refers to Vader as a "Sith lord" in a cut scene.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
The "Chewie, we're home." bit from one of the trailers got me good. The actual movie was feels-free.
Stuff like having R2 shut down just so they could get a cheap pop from morons when he woke up pissed me off.

Yeah that's why I specified in the movies. I'm aware that in other media it was used before the release of the PT.

Watched it again, my biggest complaint: Right after Ren screams that Luke's lightsaber is his, Finn yells back "Come and get it" then immediately charges at him. That's a really bad quip if you're not going to give him time to come get anything!
I think there is; when I was at ILM in 2000 they had a full-time historian and a full time lore keeper. Wikipedia says there is a full-time "story group" keeping tabs on things for now; but Kennedy's too high up the food chain to pull that off.

Leland Yee (the original Lucas story keeper) is in the group.
I can assure you not a single soul in the movie theater thought "oh, what a cool reference to the 1977 novelizations" instead if thinking immediately of Darth Maul.

They have a story group overseeing the canon. And you can believe Kennedy is very involved in creative direction.

So the soundtrack is a lot more passive than I expected.
I don't think it has a track that hits you good. Maybe my opinion will change. I do like Rey's theme a lot. Kind of Harry Potterish though. But it's Williams, so it's understandable.

Was that Admiral Ackbar with the resistance or someone else?

That seriously surprise the shit out of me. Even yelled out in the theater "Yes!".
That's not the point, the point is that it was part of the lore before the prequels existed.
I totally saw it coming but that entire part afterwards it bumping around killed me and I could only think of the "not a scratch" line from ROTJ.
Where is Lando anyway
Wow, to be in that group sounds like a dream job. I don't know if it would be my dream job. Maybe I'd like to partake for a while. But I can see that being a dream come true for people. At some point I thought I read they maintained their own internal "wikipedia" of all things Star Wars. I'd love to get a look at it.
Yeah that's Admiral Ackbar. It's the same voice actor from Return of the Jedi, too.

And then Han sends it through like 15 miles of forest at 8000mph.
From a generic oversight perspective sure - but not from a detailed Feige-ish perspective. She has much bigger issues to deal with, tbh.
John Harker
Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
According to the visualization dictionary, Mon Motha was the leader of the New Republic. Thought that was interesting

I saw it the moment she said garbage. It falls in line with the many call backs.

I know, but it doesn't sound like him. I do a better Ackbar than he does at this point.

The Ways of the Force disagrees, especially 0:46 on. I especially like Kylo's theme in that. Guessing I can post this now that Disney uploaded it themselves.
Yeah, same. The second she said it was garbage, I was like "They'll have to take the garbage ship... Wait a second..."

Pretty sure Luke hid her from Kylo / Snoke before dissappearing

Were some of his lines subtle references to hit RotJ lines? He says something along the lines of not having enough firepower to pierce shields of that magnitude if I remember correctly.
that would also make sense, but in her nightmare vision you see Kylo killing someone trying to attack child Rey. Could it be he was too weak to kill her back then?
edit: I definitely agree she was mind wiped and programmed to stay on jakku no matter what because she kept trying to go back and the luke's saber broke the mind wipe.

Simpsons called it, btw
This thread really is going in circles.

Is she providing creative oversight on Rebels storylines ? No. Of course not. On Eps 8 and 9? Hell yes.
Comparing her to Perlmutter is insulting. She has always been one of the best producers in the business because she gets and facilitates the creative process.

Really? Thats interesting I dont remember that. So Kylo actually saves Rey at one point? That is a whole different layer to the plot

I've been reading the original run of Marvel Star Wars comics from 1977 and it's got some interesting extra stuff in there, including mentions of the Sith as well as Han's meeting with Jabba (who looks nothing like the movie versiom) that was included in the Special Edition if ANH.

I don't understand why people are giving Kylo shit for losing the fight at the end. He probably would have won if he didn't get shot in the abdomen by a bowcaster 10 minutes earlier.
Those things are like anti tank rifles. He was visibly bleeding out and tired by the time he fought Rey.

Probably something like R2D2 being only awakened when a Jedi is nearby to show the full map. And Luke set it up for it to do that specific condition only.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Speaking of that... I haven't heard people mention it but Carrie sounds awful.
EDIT: lol

He probably saved her because she's his family.

Doing the direct comparison to Feige and the former Marvel Brain Trust (including people like Alan Fine, Brian Michael Bendis, Joe Quesada) highlights some interesting differences.
Kathleen Kennedy oversees a Story Group that includes
Kiri Hart
Pablo Hidalgo
Leland Chee
Carrie Beck
Diana Williams
Note there isn't a single white male on that list. Hell, there's only one white person (Carrie Beck) outside of Kennedy.

While that would make more sense, JJ already came out and said R2D2 woke up because of BB8 bumping into him and signaling something to him that eventually wakes him up.

Just came back from another viewing.
Probably already mentioned...
After the Desert battle where Rey and Fin run up to congratulate each other, I thought she mentioned she had simulation training, but I couldn't make it out because the two were talking so fast and over each other. In my latest viewing, it now sounds like she she said she has flown before, but she's never left the atmosphere.

That's pretty great to see in this day and age.
yeah she was clearly recalling memories that actually happened when she found luke's old lightsaber. So one thing is for sure Rey and Kylo definitely interacted during the jedi massacre.
