Star Wars - The Last Jedi TV Spot No. 16
In this new tv spot we get new scenes with Luke and Leia and we also can see that the Porg will possibly be responsible for many funny moments during the movie.
Fulfill Your Destiny
We still don't know yet who Snoke is adressing when saying the line "Fulfill your destiny". If it's Kylo or maybe even Rey. In about two weeks we'll know.
When Star Wars meets The Terminator
What if Luke Skywalker aka Mark Hamill would appear in a "Terminator"-movie?
This is a rather funny Fan-Trailer inspired by scenes of the actual "The Last Jedi"-Trailer.

Preview For New "The Last Jedi" TV Spot Released
Interesting times we live in. Now we get even a preview of a preview. This seems to be a preview for the upcoming TV Spot for "The Last Jedi". We see some new scenes with Rey. At first she's training with her staff. But then she's grabbing the light sabre. We also get a better look at the First Order's Dreadnaught.
New "The Last Jedi" TV Spot "Poe Dameron"
Here's the new tv spot for "The Last Jedi". The title suggests it would focus on Poe Dameron. Indeed there's couple of new scenes with him and he's got a nice new line.

Best Trailer for "The Last Jedi" so far.
Here is another trailer for the upcoming "Star Wars - The Last Jedi". And for the first time I really got excited while watching it, which to be honest wasn't the case before with all those other trailers which have been released so far. But this one makes me really looking forward to the movie. Because it shows Luke training Rey and the struggles they have.
As I've already assumed before Luke is hesistant with training Rey. He fears to fail again as he did with Ben Solo aka Kylo Ren. While Rey might be a rough diamond at first she assures him that she won't fail him as Kylo did before. In one of the interviews he recently gave Mark Hamill revealed that Luke won't be the good teacher as Obi Wan was. Am sure we'll see quite some tensions between Luke and Rey. Which will be in direct contrast to what we used to see between Luke, Obi Wan and Yoda.

First Look At The First Order Fleet
More and more trailers are being released now since we come closer to the date where "The Last Jedi" will hit cinemas. In one of the latest trailers called "Heroes" (watch the trailer below) we can get a glimpse of the First Order Fleet which is possibly attacking the Resistance Base on D'Quar. It's just a very short sequence and you could miss it if you blink but you can clearly see the First Order fleet consisting of the "Dreadnaught", a kind of new Super Star Destroyer, and at least three classic Star Destroyers which are being attacked by X-Wings and those new Restistance Bombers, which look like a mixture of a Nebulon B-frigate and a World War 2-bomber..
Although the Dreadnaught seems to be a new kind of Super Star Destroyer it doesn't seem to be as big as Vader's "Executor". When you compare the size of the normal Star Destroyers to the size of those flagships, the Dreadnaught seems to be about five times bigger than a Star Destroyer. While the "Executor" is much bigger by far (compare both images above and below).
We could already see ATATs and ATSTs in the trailers. And now we also get confirmation for that the First Order is still using those good old Star Destroyers, which still look cool and menacing.

Star Wars - The Last Jedi - Who is flying the Falcon?
Since a couple of weeks several trailers for "The Last Jedi" have been released which for the most part always show the same scenes; which are sometimes recut to either show us a bit more of a certain scene, even if it's just a closer look at something ( like Kylo Ren's face f.e.). But some of the recently released smaller trailers even include new scenes which haven't been seen before. Like with the new trailer, called "Awake" ( watch the trailer below) where we see new scenes which show the Millenium Falcon. Especially one small scene was revealing to me. Which shows Luke standing in the cockpit of the Falcon seemingly switching it on. And while doing that he's looking around in amazement like he's just having a big flashback.
The Millenium Falcon has been featured in all the trailers. But so far we haven't seen who is actually flying it. There is this short sequence where we can see Chewie sitting in the cockpit roaring, while a new companion is sitting right next to him. A tiny Porg. A birdlike resident creature of Ahch-To, Luke's hideout. But Chewbacca is as usual sitting in his co-pilot chair. The one who is actually flying the Falcon has not been revealed yet. Most people automatically assumed that it must be Rey who is flying it. Because after Han's death she seemed to have taken over the pilot's seat. But now with the new trailer there seems to be another option.
As already mentioned in a previous article storyleaks have suggested that Ahch-To will get attacked by the First Order. There is also a scene in the very first trailer where we see Rey running as if she's going to attack someone with her light sabre. Is she about to fight First Order-troops? If that'd be the case then Kylo Ren somehow found out about Luke's whereabouts. This would mean that he got the missing part of the map which shows Skywalker's location. As we all know by now BB-8 has that map. So somehow it got into the hands of the First Order. We may see how that happens in "The Last Jedi". There is also the scene which shows Rey being in Snoke's throne room, possibly being tortured by him. That would mean that she gets captured.
Ok, let's assume that this all will take place. Then seeing Luke entering the Falcon's cockpit would only mean one thing. He will fly it together with Chewie as his co-pilot.
In any case. All scenes which featured the Millenium Falcon in the new trailers suggest that it's being piloted by a very skilled person whose pilot skills could be akin to that of a Han Solo.All in all we only see the Falcon flying around on Crait. So far there haven't been any scenes which show Rey being rescued. Unless Finn, Rose and DJ are about to do that while going undercover dressed in First Order uniforms. So this would mean that Luke will join the Resistance and help them fending off the attack of Kylo Ren's troops on the Resistance Base on Crait.

The Last Jedi - Possible Timeline Of Events
Now there have been many who have analyzed the latest trailer for "The Last Jedi" in detail and some even tried to figure out which scene might appear when. I will do something similar, but I will only focus on the events involving Kylo Ren. Especially when it comes to the final scene of the trailer where he seems to offer someone his hand. I think that scene is clearly misleading.
Ok, let's first outline what we're about to see in Star Wars 8. Starkiller Base has been destroyed but the First Order found out where the Resistance base is. Rey went to Luke to try to convince him to come back to help figthing Snoke and the First Order and of course to get trained by him. We know that the first scene of the movie will pick up right where "The Force Awakens" ended, with Rey meeting Luke.
So putting that aside for a moment, what are the Resistance and the First Order doing? It's clear that the Resistance Base will get attacked by Kylo Ren and his troops in order to take revenge for the destruction of Starkiller Base and to whipe out the whole Resistance. That's possibly the big spacebattle which will take place and where Kylo is flying his cool Tie Figther. You can clearly see that he's got a black patch over the wound on his face. So it's still fresh. Which makes it clear that these scenes will appear in the first half of the movie. Leia and the Resistance manage to escape and head to the new base which will be on Crait; the desert planet with that bright whitish sand and the red mud below it.
There is that scene where we see Kylo standing in an elevator. At first he's wearing his mask, which he then takes off and possibly crushes it (Remember his destroyed mask in the first teaser. It's clearly lying on the floor of said elevator). He's also wearing the black patch there. So that scene will happen either before or after the attack on the Resistance Base (edit to add: I tend to believe that we'll see that scene before the attack. Because we don't see him wearing the mask in other scenes anymore. Except that one scene in Snoke's red throne room.). If it happens before then maybe he's not happy with himself because he just killed his father and didn't get the results he had hoped for. If it happens after the attack then maybe he's also not happy with himself because he wasn't able to destroy the Resistance and not able to kill his mother. In the clip in the trailer which shows said space battle it seems like he's reluctant if not even not willing to pull the trigger to destroy Leia's cruiser. I am sure this might have some repercussions of some sorts.
Later on the First Order will somehow find out about Crait and will attack the base there. That's the scene with those big walkers and the ATATs. The attack will be successful in one or the other way. At least to me it seems to be clear that Kylo will make his way into the base. The scene where he walks into that cave together with a whole bunch of stormtroopers could indicate just that. Now we're getting to the final scene of the trailer where he's reaching out his hand. He's not wearing any patch on his face anymore, so the wound is about to heal and this indicates this scene happens later on in the movie. Now what will he do in there? Who is he reaching out to?
The trailer makes it look like he's reaching out to Rey. But both seem to hate each other. Rey hates Kylo because he just killed her father-figure, Han Solo. And Kylo hates just anybody anyway. Well, of course he also hates her because he got defeated and injured by her. If above mentioned scene happens inside the new Resistance base then it could be that he's reaching out to his mother, Leia, in order to offer her help to escape the clutches of the First Order. As we could see in the trailer Leia is in that base and it seems Kylo couldn't kill his mother during the spacebattle. So maybe he attempts to change sides and wants to flee together with his mom?
To me this is rather unlikely. What would be much more likely should be obvious to everyone who saw "The Force Awakens". Just think back to what happened there.
What was Kylo after all the time? Yes. Correct. "The map to Skywalker, where is it?"
He has been tasked to destroy the "last Jedi". Storyleaks have indicated that Luke's hideout on Ahch-To will be attacked, either by the First Order or by the Knights of Ren. In the first trailer for "The Last Jedi" we could see Rey running towards something or somebody. Her lightsaber was ignited like she was about to attack someone. So at some point Kylo could indeed show up there. This means that he finally got "the map to Skywalker". Who had that map? Right, it's BB-8. And he's the personal astrodroid of Poe Dameron who is also on Crait as we just could see behind the scenes footage. In any case Kylo must confront one of them, either Poe or BB-8. And that's possibly the scene where he is reaching out his hand. Not to offer help to somebody, but to demand something. "The map to Skywalker, give it to me!"

Kylo Ren reacts to "The Last Jedi"-Trailer
The guys from Auralnauts did it again and released another funny video in which they let Kylo Ren react to another Star Wars-trailer. In the past they already let him react to the trailers for "Rogue One" which was brilliantly done. It seems like Kylo is a Star Wars-fanboy by himself. And so he also needed to react to the new trailer for "The Last Jedi".

Will Kylo Ren save Rey?
The trailer for "The Last Jedi" has been released last week and apart from it looking awesome and making appetite for more, it also leaves a lot to speculate about.There are a lot of scenes which seem to suggest that the movie might take this or that turn but it's really hard to tell because the trailer might be misleading by the way the scenes have been put together.
For example there is this scene at the end of the trailer which kinda makes you go "Woah!". Because you can hear Rey saying "I need someone to show me my place in all this". Then it cuts to Kylo Ren who seems to offer her his hand. Suggesting that he might be that someone who is willing to help her showing the way. Although it seems like both could be in the same scene, because of the background and the same dark lighting, it might be that both scenes with Rey and Kylo could belong to totally unrelated scenes althogether and that Kylo is reaching out to someone else.
But let's stick to the theory that Kylo might indeed offer Rey his help. Before said scene we can hear Snoke saying "Fulfill your destiny" (It's not clear if the audio really does belong to this scene or to another one). And it seems like he's either torturing or mind-scanning Rey (who doesn't seem to enjoy it very much). So at some point in the movie Rey is getting captured by the First Order or by Kylo himself and brought to Snoke who might try to turn her to the dark side as he did with Ren.
Rey seems to get tortured by Snoke. |
It's being rumored that Luke's hideout on Ahch-To will be attacked by Kylo and the first order. Maybe that's where she's getting captured. Or she's simply out for revenge and trying to confront Snoke by herself for some reason. Like it's been in "The Empire Strikes Back" where Luke leaves Dagobah, also basically untrained, to face Vader.
Snoke's headquarter seems to be on a giant star destroyer. So Rey would need help from someone who'd be on the ship in order to be able to escape. Maybe it's indeed Kylo/Ben Solo who will help her because he realized that Snoke is about to drop him for Rey. So he's changing his mind, frees Rey and both escape somehow.
It looks like Luke is rather hesitant if not even unwilling to train Rey because he fears he can't tame her "raw strength" as it's been with Ben Solo. And he fears to fail again as Obi Wan did with Anakin. So what are you left to do if you need to know about the ways of the Force and the one master you were seeking out is letting you down? You are looking for another master or at least for somebody who knows more about the Force than you do. This would then possibly be where Snoke and Kylo could come into play. In "The Force Awakens" the Supreme Leader already told Ren to bring Rey to him. Maybe he already sensed that she could become a very powerful Jedi. Maybe she's even more promising than Kylo Ren himself. And that might be when Kylo realizes that he'll get dropped by Snoke and decides to take Rey with him instead and teach her the ways of the Force by himself.
Kylo Ren seems to offer someone his help here. |
In a more recent interview Mark Hamill stated that in "The Last Jedi" we'd get to see a little more of Luke. His role in "The Force Awakens" wasn't much more than a cameo to say the least. Does this suggest then that he won't have many scenes in the movie? Will he just test Rey to see how much she's already able to use the Force and then decides that he doesn't want to train her? Does this also mean that he won't leave his planet to support the Resistance in their fight against the First Order? Some behind the scenes footage which shows him together with Carrie Fisher like they'd be together in a scene could suggest otherwise. But you never know.
In the upcoming movie the whole subject of the Jedi seems to take another turn. Like they want to leave the path of the good and bad Force users. That they want to create some new venue. There's the concept of a so called "Gray Jedi" who neither aligns with the dark nor with the light side of the Force (like the older Ahsoka Tano?). Maybe Rey and/or Kylo will go down that path after both have been let down by their masters? A lot of questions which need to be answered. And am looking forward to see if the movie will explain anything or if it will even leave us with more questions.

A more creepy version of Kylo Ren
I always felt that Kylo was less manazing than all the other dark side
users before him (except Count Dooku). So I thought adding Vader's
breathing sound might make him appear much cooler and maybe at least a
little bit creepy.
Chewbacca IS Star Wars!
Back then shortly before "The Force Awakens" has been released I went to
a local store. Right at the entrance were two lifesize cardboard
figures. One was of a First Order Stormtrooper and the other one was
Chewbacca. I have to admit the Stormtrooper looked cool but didn't
really make me exited about the new movie. I still prefer the old
Stormtroopers from the original trilogie which look much more fierce in
my opinion. But then I looked at Chewie and it triggered this familiar
feeling which was asleep since all those decades. It was the original
Star Wars-feeling. It was the same old feeling which makes you exited
when you see the original characters or a Tie Tighter or an X-Wing. You
just start to feel like a kid again. It was that moment where it became
clear to me how special Chewbacca is.
Recently I read an article on screenrant.com
where they were making predictions about what might happen in "The Last
Jedi". Among those predictions was that Chewie would find his end
during an attack. To me this was just unacceptable. We just had to watch
Han Solo die a totally useless death in "The Force Awakens". Then we
also lost Carrie Fisher which is just very sad. And to me that's just
more than enough.
I personally (and possibly many other people too) would have loved to see all the original characters (Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, R2, C3PO) being together again. That might have been what a lot of people would have expected as it's been announced that they all have been casted for Star Wars 7. Sadly we just had a little bit of Han, barely anything of Leia and almost nothing of Luke.
The above mentioned article claimed that now that Han would be gone that it wouldn't make any sense if Chewbacca would have his own adventures. And that there would be no reason for Chewie to stay in the franchse and that he should find his death during Star Wars 8. With which I totally disagree.
Some might see him only making sense when he's together with Han, who was his best friend. But I see him as a character who can be on his own and even bond with others. He already has a bond with Leia and Luke. He also already became friends with Rey. That friendship might develop even more in the next two episodes of Star Wars. Rey seems to be the new captain of the Falcon now and I don't see any reason why its co-pilot couldn't stay. I kinda like that idea. Her being the Jedi in training and he being the big hairy thing who is protecting her, like he did in that scene in Maz Kanata's castle, where they encounter Unkar Plutt.
Apart from all this, as mentioned above, Chewbacca gives you that classic Star Wars-feeling, just like all the original characters do. His appearance, the way he acts and his roar triggers feelings all the new characters just can't give you (yet). Chewie is essential! Chewie IS Star Wars! Just as Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker or C3PO are. Losing Chewbacca would mean another major blow to the franchise. It's necessary that he's allowed to stay in or that certain Star Wars-feeling would also be gone to some extent. And I fear it would make the new trilogy less interesting to many.
And while we're on it, please, Disney, give Luke, Leia, R2D2 and C3PO bigger roles this time. I am sure this would be a big improvement to the movie.

"Star Wars - The Last Jedi" gets an 80s VHS-trailer
To those who grew up in the 80s and to nostalgeeks this may be a treat.
Somebody created an 80s-style trailer like it could have been found on
VHS-cassettes back then.
Trailers of today may look great and fantastic but nothing adds more to the mystery of a movie and makes you hungry for more than a 80s-style trailer. At least it has that effect on me.
Watch the trailer here.

Is Snoke from the "Unknown Regions"?
Possible Spoilers ahead!
Rumors have emerged about the possible origins of the mysterious Snoke. It's being claimed that in "The Last Jedi" we'll get to know more about where Snoke came from.
Supposedly he's from the so called "Unknown Regions" which seem to be beyond the so called "Outer Rim" of the more or less well known Star Wars-Galaxy. So it's a mysterious region of space about which most people barely know anything about other than myths and rumors perhaps. I guess that a lot of people who only saw the movies and never read any of the books or comics don't even know much about the Outer Rim-regions nor about the Inner Core of the Star Wars-galaxy at all other than maybe Tatooine, Alderaan or Coruscant.
I have to admit that I do belong to those people. So adding another mysterious area of space which is outside of an already vast galaxy which Star Wars-movies barely even explored so far doesn't make much sense to me. But I assume it has to be that way in order to create a more mystical aura around Snoke, who seems to have come from out of nowhere.

I guess that a lot of people who only saw the movies and never read any of the books or comics don't even know much about the Outer Rim-regions nor about the Inner Core of the Star Wars-galaxy at all other than maybe Tatooine, Alderaan or Coruscant.
I have to admit that I do belong to those people. So adding another mysterious area of space which is outside of an already vast galaxy which Star Wars-movies barely even explored so far doesn't make much sense to me. But I assume it has to be that way in order to create a more mystical aura around Snoke, who seems to have come from out of nowhere.

Spoiler! Who is Benicio Del Toro playing in Star Wars 8?
The following article contains
potential spoilers! Don't read any further if you don't want to have
your Star Wars 8 experience being spoiled!
There already have been many speculations about the character Benicio Del Toro might be playing. Some sources claimed that he would be with the First Order and some others said that he would be with the resistance. Then there were some who believed to know that he would play a kind of scoundrel. And if the latest rumors are true then the latter could very well be true.
It is being alleged that Del Toro is playing a guy named Gannis Ducain. It is said that it was him who took the Falcon away from Solo, possibly because our favorite smuggler owed him some money. While he had it in his possession he upgraded the Falcon's turret system. As it seems later on it got stolen by somebody. Maybe that's how it got into Unkar Plutt's hands.
Since it became public that Benicio Del Toro will be in "The Last Jedi" there were so many speculations about who he might be playing that it's impossible to tell if there's any kind of substance to what I just wrote above. I personally feel that he's a great actor and no matter if he'll be playing a villain or some kind of smuggler I'm sure he'll perform very well.

Will Kylo Ren set the Force Tree on fire?
Spoiler Allert! The following article could contain potential spoilers!
According to recent story leaks about "Star Wars 8 - The Last Jedi" there could be a "Force Tree" on Luke's hideout Ahch-To. This tree seems to be connected to the Force somehow and no matter if Jedi or Sith the tree represents something valuable. Maybe like the cave on Dagobah where Luke had a kind of vision of Darth Vader. That place also seemed to be connected to the Force.
Recent spoilers suggest that there will be an attack on Ahch-To by the First Order led by Kylo Ren. It's unknown how they are able to find that place because they didn't had the full map which showed where Luke was hiding. Maybe they are able to get it in their possession during an attack on the Resistance base. It would be logical that Snoke and Ren would take revenge for the destruction of Starkiller Base. Which would mean that the attack on Ahch-To could happen during the second half of the movie.
Anyway it could be that Kylo is able to set the tree on fire regardles of what kind of consequences it might have for him, because it's being suggested that nobody is allowed to mess with such a powerful place. But as we know Ren is ready and willing to do just anything in order to become as powerful as his grandfather, Darth Vader, was.

Somebody added John William's music to Rogue One and it sounds cool!
"Star Wars - Rogue One" didn't feature John Williams' music, instead
Michael Giacchino was responsible for the score. While he did a
fantastic job nothing beats the classic music of John Williams. That
possibly was the thought the creator of the video had in mind. He
replaced the original score of the scene of the Battle of Scarif with
Williams' music from the original trilogy. In my opinion it clearly adds
to the overall feeling and makes it feel like it would be a scene of
one of the original movies..

Han Solo's shootout scene with "Greedo" which didn't make it to the big screen
At least since George Lucas released the Special Edition of Star Wars
back in 1997 we know that there were a lot of scenes which didn't made
it into the movies. Some were reintroduced and put back into the movies
again, while some others have been left on the cutting room floor. Which
is too bad since many enjoy those classic moments.
Especially one scene which has just been revealed recently would have been exciting to watch. Greedo-actor, Paul Blake, recently revealed to Sci Fi Central that he and Harrison Ford have been involved in filming a scene where they'd (Blake as another Rodian) encounter each other at the Millenium Falcon's docking bay shortly before the Stormtroopers arrive. At first they would shoot at each other but as soon as the Stormtroopers enter the scene they seem to forget their rivalry and start to fight the arriving troopers together.
Here is what Paul Blake said:
Which is too bad. I certainly would have loved to see that scene.

Apparently several Rhodians were in Jabba's service. Here's just one of them. |
Here is what Paul Blake said:
“There’s a brilliant little sequence which I loved doing with Harrison [Ford], where we were shooting at each other like cowboys and Indians.
We had this big gun battle which lasted all morning and then Stormtroopers came out of the big double doors and we started firing at them.
So we had this fantastic scene and of course that’s all gone. But I’m sure George [Lucas] has got that all at Skywalker Ranch.”
Which is too bad. I certainly would have loved to see that scene.

New Outfits for Rey and Kylo Ren in Star Wars VIII - What could it mean?
The following is pure speculation.
Recently new outfits for Rey and Kylo Ren have been revealed which seem to have a slightly different style now for Star Wars 8 than the ones they used to wear in "The Force Awakens".
Rey's dress reminds us of the classic Jedi robes we are familiar with from the Prequel Trilogy. It's got kinda the same earth colors as the robes of Qui Gon Jinn or Obi Wan Kenobi.
Kylo Ren though is still prefering a very dark outfit. Unlike the one he was wearing in Star Wars 7 he seems to prefer a Vader-like cape now over a cloak. The rest of his outfit seems to have been inspired by Luke Skywalker's dress from "Return of the Jedi" and/or Anakin Skywalker's outfit from "Revenge of the Sith". So a very dark appearance.
Does the change of outfits indicate the progress both characters have made? During the teaser/trailer for "Star Wars VIII - The Last Jedi" Luke says that "It's time for the Jedi to end". To me this sounds like he'll be very hesitant training Rey in the Jedi-ways. In his mind he possibly thinks that he failed to continue the legacy of the Jedi because his former apprentice, Ben Solo aka Kylo Ren, turned to the dark side and slaughtered all his other padawans. He possibly feels that he's the last jedi and that there won't be any more, because he's not such a good Jedi Master and doesn't want to fail again. During the first half it's possibly on Rey to convince him otherwise. Her brown Jedi-like outfit could mean that she wants to continue the Jedi legacy.
With Kylo it could be totally different though. Anakin's black outfit in "Revenge of the Sith" was possibly an indicator for that he'd turn to the dark side in that episode. Although Luke was wearing a quite similiar dress in "Return of the Jedi" it possibly rather indicated his inner conflict. He encountered Vader for the first time in "The Empire Strikes Back" and failed to kill him. Indeed he even had to find out that he's his son. So he possibly didn't know if he should kill his father or if he should follow in his footsteps?
As we could see in "The Force Awakens" Kylo seems to be full of inner conflicts. He's still being touched by the light side of the Force sometimes although he tries to fight it. He wants to become a Dark Jedi and therefore tries to eliminate any light inside of him. That's why he killed his father, Han Solo. Because he represented one of his inner connections to the light side of Force. It could be that his outfit should represent his inner conflict which he's trying to fight. Maybe he will run into situations which will make him doubt about his current course. Maybe there's a chance of Kylo turning against his master, Snoke, at one point of the trilogy. But maybe only to become the master himself.

effects have been well done.

New Outfits for Rey and Kylo Ren revealed!
Those who pre-order "Battlefront 2" will get special skins for Kylo Ren
and Rey. Both outfits can possibly be seen in "Star Wars VIII - The Last
Jedi".
When taking a closer look at Rey it seems like her outfit was inspired by Qui-Gon Jinn's dress back from "The Phantom Menace". It seems like she's paying respect to old Jedi-traditions.
Kylo Ren seems to wear a Vaderesque cape now. The rest of his dress reminds us of what Luke and Anakin were wearing in "Return Of The Jedi" and "Revenge Of The Sith". So it has a pretty dark look. It also seems that we will see him more often without his helmet now. Those who watched the first trailer for "The Last Jedi" possibly noticed that his helmet was lying on the floor and it was totally smashed by whom or by what force ever. Maybe he had an encounter with either Luke or Rey. Or maybe it happened during training with his master Snoke..

How Rogue One will affect Star Wars Rebels
The release of Rogue One seems to open a lot of new oportunities for
upcoming adventures for the crew of the "Ghost". We already were able to
see the "Ghost" during the battle above Scarif. But according to
producer Dave Filoni that's not where Rebels will end. We rather will
see a build up to the events of Rogue One. But now we likely will see
familiar places like Yavin.
Filoni states:
So we likely will see familiar places and characters we've seen before in the movies. That opens up new possibilities. Also the fact that rebel cells and ships are being restructured could mean that the "Ghost" might not even be flown by Hera and her crew anymore as the battle at Scarif takes place. That would be an interesting turn of events and I'm looking forward to it.
Read more about this here.
Filoni states:
Now that Rogue One is out, it opens up a lot of possibilities for us to tell these stories. We can go to Yavin now. We can start to deal with the way things worked out in the film and include ideas that are happening prior to that. The look of the background rebels really shifts to being more of the kind of drab military colors that you see in Rogue One. The Phoenix group of Rebel soldiers are kind of petering out.
So they’re redistributed into Mon Mothma’s group on Yavin and Dodonna’s group. You see a restructuring of certain cells, and certain cells get destroyed. And that’s true of the ships as well. So there’s lots of little, neat, detail level things that happen when our characters are heading into season 4 and are absorbed into the kind of pre-Rogue One era, which I thought they did beautifully in the film.

Star Wars Rebels won't end with the Battle of Scarif!
Those who have seen "Star Wars Rogue One" might have noticed a familiar
looking ship during the battle of Scarif. Which was the "Ghost", the
ship being used by our heroes of "Star Wars Rebels". After watching that
movie people have speculated about what might have happened to the
Ghost and its crew. If they survived that battle or not. Now Dave Filoni
shared some insights.
Filoni stated about the events taking place above Scarif:
He further elaborated:

Filoni stated about the events taking place above Scarif:
“I think it’s possible to tell the Rebels side of it, I just don’t know that I would do it in Star Wars Rebels. I think that there’s probably a fantastic story there about what exactly the Ghost is doing and who exactly is on board the Ghost, which I think is a big question. So I think there is a story there - but would we see that in Star Wars Rebels? I wouldn’t think so.”
Is the Ghost (red circle) still being piloted by Hera during the battle of Scarif? |
He further elaborated:
“This story, Star Wars Rebels, doesn’t work in service of ending in somebody else’s film or storyline. That’s Jyn’s story. This is Ezra’s story. I just don’t think there’s something that’s that important that could have been going on there. I think it’s important to keep them separate. It’s nice that they acknowledge each other. It’s nice that Saw is in Rebels and then he’s also in Rogue One. It’s nice that we have these bridges. Mon Mothma is also a bridge. Yavin itself becomes a bridge. That creates the continuity but I think getting too specific, because we would be locked in in that battle.”I personally would love to see the Crew of the Ghost survive and possibly reappear in another Star Wars-show, just as Ahsoka and others did. Because as we all know the Rebellion didn't end with the Battle of Scarif, nor with the destruction of Alderaan. So there still should be a lot of stories to tell which lead up to the events of "Return of the Jedi" and maybe even a little further.

New Star Wars Alien presented in Charity Video
Spoiler ahead!
If you don't want to get spoiled about the upcoming standalone Han Solo-movie don't read any further!
A new Star Wars alien has been presented in a promotional video for "Force Of Change". Warwick Davis, aka Wicket, aka Willow, is presenting the video and showing behind the scenes-footage of the upcoming Han Solo-movie, including the new alien of whom we get a short glimpse. The alien itself is a multieyed being which strongly reminds us of a Gran, which debuted in "Return of the Jedi". The video itself is being presented in a humorous fashion and it is impossible to tell if that alien has any kind of relevance to the movie or if it's just an extra who acts in the background of a scene.

First scene of "The Last Jedi" has been revealed (humor)
SPOILER ALERT!!
At the end of "The Force Awakens" we see Rey finding Luke in his solitude on a water planet called Ahch-To. Unfortunately that scene was very short and we only see Luke staring at Rey without saying anything. Many people were disappointed about that. Because many hoped to see Luke back in action again. As it seems in "The Last Jedi" it won't be much different.

"The Last Jedi" will be darker and Princes William and Harry will have cameos!
There already were some hints before that "The Last Jedi" might get a little darker in tone in direct comparison to "The Force Awakens". Possibly just as "The Empire Strikes Back" was much darker than "A New Hope". Many have already expected this to happen because it seemed like "The Force Awakens" was like a quasi-remake of "A New Hope". And so "The Last Jedi" might also be a quasi remake of "Empire". Now John Boyega aka Finn is also disclosing that Star Wars 8 will be much darker and dramatic than Star Wars 7 was.
Express.co.uk writes that John Boyega said during an interview on BBC Radio 4:
“All the characters are challenged and taken to real extreme levels,” “I get goosebumps when I talk about it, because I’m like, ‘I know, you don’t!’” “It’s epic… It’s a dark turn for all of us.”They further write that he also disclosed that Princes William and Harry and Gary Barlow will have cameos in one scene, just as Daniel Craig did in "The Force Awakens". He stated about Barlow:
"I have no comment, but he does look good in a Star Wars suit,”Then he added about William and Harry:
“No comment on that, but they look good too.”Apparently there are rumors that the princes will be dressed as Stormtroopers. But this hasn't been confirmed yet. Read more about that here
"Star Wars VIII - The Last Jedi" - First Teaser/Trailer released!
This is the very first teaser/trailer for "Star Wars VIII - The Last Jedi".
The movie will pick up right where "Star Wars VII - The Force Awakens" ended. The trailer itself starts a little slow but picks up speed in the second half. So far it's hard to tell what kind of tone the movie will have. Many fear that after "The Force Awakens" was a kind of "remake" of "Star Wars IV- A New Hope" "The Last Jedi" could be a quasi-remake of "The Empire Strikes Back".
As you can see there are scenes where Rey is being trained by Luke. As he got trained by Yoda during "Empire". There's also a short scene where we can see speeders heading towards some sort of ATAT-like walkers. Just like the snow speeders did during the attack on Hoth in "The Empire Strikes Back".
Tribute to Captain Phasma
This is a tribute vid to Captain Phasma. She didn't had much screentime during "Star Wars VII - The Force Awakens". That's why the video is so short.
