Star Wars: Rogue One

Tova:
The upcoming Star Wars movie is, I think, cool enough to have a thread of its very own.

The trailers have been posted elsewhere, but here they are.

It might sound silly and fanboyish of me but it's kind of good to be going back to the Civil War era, even if for only one movie.

One thing I'm anticipating from this film is an insight about just how terrible life was inside the Empire. Even on secure worlds, Imperial civilian technicians (like Bodhi) live in a state of fear, knowing that they could lose everything with little warning at the whim of a low-ranking Imperial officer who wants a 'demonstration' made to the local populace to remind them of the futility of rebellion.

I want the ending of the film to be something like this: Jyn, sitting on the lip of the cockpit of a Y-Wing, checking instrument settlings or something. She's obviosly introspective, thinking of all the friends she'd lost (some of whom she barely knew) in the Rogue One mission. Suddenly a familiar voice calls out from off frame. "Um... excuse me?"

Jyn briefly questions the newcomer (who stays out of shot) and determines that he is a newly-recruited X-Wing pilot who will be joining the upcoming attack on the Death Star and who needs directions to the Quartermaster Stores to draw a flight suit. "Thanks for the help! I'll see you out there and... uh... I guess we'll talk more when we get back?" the kid concludes.

"Force willing," she says with a smile, thinking of Chirrut. "I'm Jyn Erso, by the way - Gold Nine."

We finally see the person she's talking to. "Oh, I'm Luke! Luke Skywalker!" ((Maybe they'll use the face insertion technology they used in Tron: Legacy to put young Mark Hamill into the shot))

"Pleased to meet you, Luke-Luke Skywalker," Jyn teases; wipe to end credits.

Yes, I believe that Rey is Luke and Jyn's daughter. :wink: I'm going to make another prediction - In Episode VIII, Luke will tell Rey that most of his early knowledge of the Force came from Jyn telling him what Chirrut taught her of his own beliefs. This will be the in-universe explanation for why Luke's own style in Episode V and VI is so different from the acrobatic and flashy style of the Jedi of the Prequel Trilogy.

BenRG, if that actually happens, you win a million internets.

Kugai:
And Lucasfilm will be sending the In House Bounty Hunters round to find out where you got your information from
