The swarm of ISDs we see in the preview are actually part of a singular weapon system that links together and fires a super-powerful, world-killing beam... But if that system is mucked with or gets any feedback, all the ships connected to it are destroyed.

*Boom*, that's how everything gets wiped out. 👆

.....Well dang I wouldn’t be surprised.

There are very few lights on those star destroyers. I'm guessing they're all being run by skeleton crews. this leads me to believe that either galan is right about a superweapon, or those are actually resistance fighters who came upon a cache of old abandoned star destroyers.

Or they are being controlled with the force... mmm

You sure youre not one of the writers?

But they only pay you to execute JJs daft vision right?

If Galan has nailed it, I'm gonna laugh so hard.

The plot has been leaked.

Not sure how legit it is, but it comes from the mod of that subreddit which suggests at least some level of reliability.

Anyway, it sounds like a real mixed bag.

i read some of it. it's probably legit. remember jj abrams' most poignant quote on this one: "f*ck it"

That is ****ing hysterical.

.....There are no words I can type that express my complete disappointment and disgust(for lack of worse words) to what I just read.

The title of the film was a redherring all this time

How do you spoiler tag your post? I was going to post something but don't want to give anything away from the leak

[*spoiler]your text here[/spoiler]

*remove the asterisk

Thanks.

Yeah that plot sucks. It's similar to what I predicted but there's a few major points that I think are dumb like

Spoiler:
Kylo getting his ass beat by Rey again only to be killed off by Palpatine

Spoiler:
Rey being the granddaughter of Palpatine

Also like you guys said, it's pretty unrealistic for them to destroy the Empire AND the first order for good in just one movie. Not sure how they're going to pull off a satisfying ending. There's too much story left to tell for one movie.

Abrams might not be that bad... but still...

later. I'm hoping for a more badass representation of him since he's been kind of a ***** in the last two movies. Also not sure how I feel about

Spoiler:
Rey being the granddaughter of Palpatine

It'd make more sense if she was created by Palpatine through the force like Anakin.

Spoiler:
Han Solo actually appears as a force ghost and is the key to Kylo's redemption or w/e

... you sound as if it is worse than TLJ?

I'm trying to avoid spoilers, don't want to know.

But I see your reactions... this is gonna suck big time, yes? 🙁

IF those leaks are legit(and I think they probably are), then yeah, this will probably be a shitfest. There's just SO much story to wrap-up in this final film, that even the best script/plot/director would have struggled to make it tidy and cohesive.

...And I've been a pretty optimistic supporter of Disney canon in the past(ask Zen, lol.)

Aye, lasted longer than I did. I really did try but TFA started the downward spiral for me. Admittedly some of the newer stuff was good here and there, but the bad outweighs that(at least imo) and given the movies are supposed to be the main thing in all of this...well it’s like 2 200 lbs iron weight was dropped on the bad scale with a 3rd coming in.

^ Same for me, that prior to TFA, I was proper excited by what Disney was going to do with this. I Loved the first season of Rebels, and those first Star Wars/Vader comics.
