I feel likes its going to be the cause of a huge shitstorm when it hits. People finding it churlish that they went to the effort of bringing the original 3 back only to not have them on screen together. Very curious to see how the reactions go down.

I've wondered if that won't ruin the movie for a lot of people, which is too bad, because it's not really a negative if the story is good.

Just got done re-watching Looper after not seeing it since I saw it in the theater. Can't wait to see what Rian Johnson can do with Star Wars. Is Benecio Del Toro really in Episode 8 or is that just a rumor?

I believe he has been confirmed, but we don't know what role he was cast in yet.

Everyone seems to be predicting a bad guy, but i'd like to see them go against the grain and make him a good guy. We already have enough bad guys between Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma, and hopefully more and more Snoke as the movies progress.
Didn't he himself imply he was a villain? We always get new villains every film too.
ESB: Boba Fett & Palpatine
ROTJ: Jabba
AOTC: Dooku
ROTS: Grievous

I just don't want the Sequel Trilogy to suffer from having a different villian each movie like the prequel trilogy did.

There's not that much room for new villains, honestly. We've got four for this movie alone. Only one of them actually dies. Now whether Del Toro ends up filling that slot for VII, or he's some sort of shadowy anti-hero character, who knows, but I don't think we're gonna end up with a rotating cast of "main" villains. They seem to have planned the three-movie arc out a little better than the Prequels (or even the Originals) were planned out.
But the same thing was the case with the original trilogy. Every single Star Wars film has a new baddie. Del Toro doesn't need to be a First Order type. Could be a crime lord sort of unaffiliated type ala Jabba.
I'm curious to see how the Kylo/Snoke relationship plays out. If Kylo fails to succeed his mission from Snoke in TFA, how will Snoke react? Will he do the whole "I gotta replace this chump" thing? It would be kind of neat to see Kylo kill Snoke and try to become the Supreme Leader of the First Order.
Anyway, I have no idea about Snoke other than he was rumored to look like a lizard.

Luke or Rey are going to go through them like butter. Think Palpy vs the jedi masters who came to arrest him.

Just look at the gif of them. The dude on his right is most def the dude that beat boxes.
Had a dumb idea
What if Luke is Snoke? Like Andy Serkis is being Motion Captured, for maybe a hologram Vision and his voice, but hiding behind the Vision of Snoke is actually Luke?
Like halfway through the Movie Snoke/Luke appears to Kylo, and tells him Stories of Vader to lure Kylo to him.
Kind of like the Wizard of Oz?
That's as far as I got.

All the First Order can come up with for their menacing new threat is a Vader stan and his low budget groupies?

Just finished reading "Star Wars: Lost Stars", A really fun read that changes some of my perspective on all the movies in regard to how I see the empire and rebelion. It also sets up Force Awakens in a few ways, most notably the crashing of the Star Destroyer Inflictor into Jakku. I really like how they tried to give the perspective of an imperial officer who saw the empire as a peace keeper, and the rationalization of the destruction of Alderaan as a way to prevent a much more bloody war.
Its a nice read on what happens immediately after ROTJ also, talks about the empire splintering, the new republic forming and how the war didnt end.

Luke turning dark is something they will never ever do. He had his brushes with it in the cave and on Death Star 2. That'll be all.
Mark Hamill sent out an interesting tweet recently:
Luke in Episode VIII confirmed!
Also, Luke with a beard screams Obi-Wan 2.0 to me.
Must have worn a fake beard for those shots they already did for Episode VIII then. Interesting. Either that or he HAD a beard again during the Episode VIII shots and then the pictures of him clean shaven at the bar were after he was done.

I'm hearing principal photography for most of the cast begins in January. He had a beard during his Episode VII shots, then shaved it for his Flash stuff. Now he's finished with Flash for now and re-growing for Episode VIII.

Kevin Smith's latest Fatman on Batman podcast sheds more light on the plotline of Episode VII, as Smith says he's "seen some shit": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUGCTD5-hWA
He grew his beard back out for that 1 week then shaved it again right after because he hates the beard.

Those posts about the mystery of the
from the Shattered Empire comic in the main thread make me wonder if we're gonna see some Lothlorien-style shit when we get to Luke's hideout at the end of TFA. Would totally fit in with the "mystic hermit" aspect they appear to be going for with him.

I'm seeing it more as a "Story Group hears about plot/visual element in film, tells comic writer to lay groundwork in noted prequel to said film" kind of scenario. Wouldn't be too crazy seeing as the comic itself is literally about Poe Dameron's parents.

I find it so funny that people think Luke is the bad guy or turned to the dark side. Luke was able to with stand turning to the dark side by his own father. He came close, but he was able to control himself when it counted. So why would he turn after that? He threw his fucking light saber down and basically said "come at me bro" to the emperor.
