I'm interested in the New Republic/Resistance capships, I think there may be as many as three different ships in the trailer, the corvettes/frigates we see full shots of, the bridge that General Leia is on with the starmap, and the hangar that has Poe's X-wing explode

I hope we see appearances of the ships in the novels, like the Starhawk, Nebulon K, and those nameless Corellian cruisers and Alderaanian frigates

I think those might be Nebulon Ks, considering how closely they resemble the old Nebulon-B frigates from the OT. Guess whoever built them sells to both sides, which has interesting implications if it was legitimate.
Also, its nice to see Republic ships actually using their fucking guns in a fleet battle for once.

Is there a more cancerous, low effort genre of YouTube video than reaction videos?

EDIT: Whoops didn't see the new page.
Zhan is working on a new book series that shows how the First Order turns from what it is in Empire's End to what you see in the ST. That's why right around the time they finished writing The Last Jedi he was announced to be working in the franchise again. Lucasfilm isn't stupid and they were initially worried about the poor reaction to the lore of the Sequel era since that directly affects the sales of books and comics. The basic idea of Thrawn's new trilogy is:
>Thrawn is back in Chiss space when Return of the Jedi happens. I'm assuming this happens in Rebels.
>Thrawn and Eli are butting heads over whether they should support the Empire or New Republic. Eli is loyal to the Empire ironically because Palpatine led him to becoming such good friends with Thrawn and the opportunities he had in his life. Thrawn however knows about the contingency and fears that the Empire will soon get uncomfortably close to Chiss space and support the evil that the Chiss had wanted to rid themselves of the whole time.
>The Chiss are split between being loyal to Thrawn because Eli isnt seen as one of their own or supporting Eli because they feel Thrawn abandoned them when he left to join the Empire.
>Meanwhile after a failed coup Sloane has Yupe Tashu executed for treason. A sentinel droid is activated in fears that Sloane will abandon the spiritual goals the Empire had according to Palpatine and it takes control of the Acolytes of the Beyond. The Acolytes believe the droid to be Palpatine's very being due to the holocron AI in it's programming and begin staging another coup with the purpose of instilling this droid as the new Supreme Leader.
(cont)

>>91645555

They don't really look like Nebulons to me, they're missing the entire back half.

>>91645599
>Meanwhile Thrawn uses this chaos in the First Order to attack them and get them away from his territory. He sends a ship towards the known galaxy to alert the New Republic but in a desperate attempt Sloane destroys it. While she's distracted with stopping Thrawn the Acolytes assassinate her but to their surprise the droid deactivates once it's mission is complete. In their despair to find a leader they all hear the voice of an ancient being telling them to abandon the Sith ways and come bask in the presence of the pure dark side. The presence promises them that they will have their revenge on the Jedi and New Republic but first they must seek him out to regain their strength to prepare for their revenge. They all sense the power of this being and set the First Order on a pathway away from Chiss space and towards this being. Thrawn decides not to tell the New Republic because he doesn't want them going on a warpath through Chiss space when the First Order isn't even a threat to him anymore.
And that's basically the first book. I suspect that the other ones won't feature Thrawn as much but the main goal of the series wasn't to be a Thrawn trilogy reboot anyways so after this point he really doesn't need to be too involved in the rest of them. Understand that I only know a very very rough draft because there's other projects this one will help inform.

What is this?

>>91645555
Technically they use their guns at Endor and Scarif, but the practical compositing of ROTJ makes it impossible to discern who fires what from where unless its a fighter craft, and with the scale and cutting of the Scarif fight, the few times the rebel capships' models fire their guns is totally lost in the visual clutter. It's nice here that even in like 2 seconds worth of teaser trailer, you can tell obviously that the NR/Resistance Corvettes/Frigates are blasting away.

Gallius throws Yupe Tashu down the giant hole underneath Jakku to start the process of self-destructing the planet. He'd already be dead at this point.

Again, look at the image in the OP and compare it to a B-Wing. B-wings are straighter, smoother and less bulbous. And, again, the cockpit is fucking open on the ship closest to the camera, and the cockpit doesn't even resemble the rounded shape of the B-Wing

It's Plagueis.

It makes the most sense from a story telling standpoint and from a canon standpoint.

Literally who else could it be if not Plagueis?

You could debate he's a totally new character, but what would the point of that be? It practically invalidates any intimidation Palpy has as a villian

I urge you to debate me or prove me wrong.

Wasn't doubting you when you said that people are stupid enough to think Yoda is alive, I was just saying that the ST has used audio from the original movies before, and it didn't mean anything then either. Taking a few lines from Yoda to use as mysterious whispering in the trailer doesn't mean he's coming back
>>91646131
Because the B-Wing is meant to fly in space, so having an open (as in, doesn't have any glass or any thing that looks like you could seal it) cockpit means this ship isn't a B-Wing. And the cockpit is still completely different from a B-wing. For comparison, have a picture on an actual B-Wing

But with zero forshadowing or references in the rest of the series that would be a total copout.

The emperor dies but "Oh it's okay! There is a brand new villian here to replace him! Why does Snoke matter? Who cares! He's the new bad guy!"

We already have a reason to be intimidated by Plagueis. All Snoke would ever be, assuming he's a new character, is just some throwaway villian from the unknown reaches. It is so out of place in a 3 arc story

that video from a panel with JJ and Daisy where somebody asked about Plagueis, JJ immediately froze up, Kasdan (?) joked about "Darth Vegas" and Daisy said "Is that Sn-" was very convincing.

on the other hand, there's all of the Unknown Regions stuff, and I'm not sure how that would fit with Plagueis. sure, he could have fled out there after Sheev "killed him in his sleep", but why would Sheev's contingency plan involve sending trusted Imperials there? and would he really be a big threat to the Chiss, or is there somebody/something out there that he used to recover from getting Sheev'd?

Snoke is described as being steeped in Dark Side knowledge. Plagueis was known for having "such a knowledge of the Dark Side".

Snoke is described by his apprentice, Kylo Ren, as “wise”. Which villain in the Star Wars saga was labelled ‘wise”?

Snoke's theme is nigh on identical to that of the Opera Scene in ROTS where we learn about Darth Plagueis.

Snoke literally looks like he has cheated death. His injuries are extensive. The only person we know who has actually cheated death (saved others) is Plagueis. Did he really teach his apprentice everything he knew? Have Sith Lords ever been known to bend the truth? Tell a little lie here and there? Masters of deception, anyone?!

Within the Darth Plagueis novel that was de-canonised, Plagueis talks about having Superweapons that can destroy entire star systems, he talks about ruling from the shadows whilst Sidious is the public face, of how immortality is more important than the power Sidious is after and on the cover appears as a large hologram overlooking Sidious. There are also many more verses in the novel that could fit very nicely with what we know about Snoke. It should also be noted that Plagueis had his apprentice Sidious murder his family as his final trial - something Snoke orders Kylo Ren to do.

Plagueis was originally a Muun. A tall (7ft), pale, skinny alien. That was de-canonised. Like the book that shares many ideas that resemble Snoke's story. And what does Snoke look like - Tall (7ft), pale, skinny and he's an alien.

Here's the weird bit: JJ even considered the possibility of Snoke being a woman. He didn’t want him to be an old and decrepit, like the Emperor. Um…but what did we end up with?

>>91646369
How would it be the same shit? He's still a different character, but this time he actually connects to the whole series instead of his self contained trilogy

>>91646378
>that video from a panel with JJ and Daisy where somebody asked about Plagueis, JJ immediately froze up, Kasdan (?) joked about "Darth Vegas" and Daisy said "Is that Sn-" was very convincing.
My read from that video is that JJ knows who Plagueis is, but Kasdan didn't.

>>91646268
Snoke isn't important. This is Luke's, Rey's and Kylo's story. Everything else is just an obstacle in their path.

He's like Sauron in LotR. Nondescript evil bad guy that serves no other purpose but to create a challenge and conflict for the heroes to overcome.

>>91646376
>>91646362
>>91646386
For one thing, all we have is Palpatine's word, and you're willing to believe him? Now assume that he's being truthful in that scene - he killed him. Plagueis is dead. Kaput. Never going to appear. He's nothing more than a name.

In the original script for ROTS, Lucas had it that Anakin WAS created by the Sith (Palpatine). He discarded it as it was unnecessary. However it shows what his final thoughts were on Anakin's origins. Then he decides to write the ST. He needs a villain. Would Lucas' villain not have been Plagueis? The perfect tie in with HIS beloved PT and a way of directly continuing the Darth Vader chosen one tale? Keep in mind Michael Arndt's recent comments that Lucas' treatments weren't in fact ditched but that much of it remains.

In the comic con conference, JJ tells us that LK was not being honest when he mishears Plagueis as Vegas as he says "LK is messing with you". This shows us that JJ passed the question over hoping LK would come up with a good cover story. But LK messed it up. Daisy Ridley is also shushed by Abrams as she begins to say "Is that S...". Whatever happened there, it got awkward and is a point for Plagueis IMO. The question from comic con was specifically about whether Plagueis would be mentioned in Episode VII and about the staff - NOT if Darth Plagueis will be in the ST, like many people have misinterpreted.

Kylo suggests to Hux that Snoke considered a clone army - something that once had direct implications with the Sith and their plan to take over. A nod to Plagueis' former role. He's minted and funded the clone army - more on this later.

Where did Snoke acquire his extensive Dark Side knowledge? If anyone can get this knowledge what is the point in the Jedi and Sith? Why did they have a monopoly on the Force? Why is so much made of knowledge being passed down within both orders if Snoke can just learn it himself? This means to me that Snoke was a Sith. But the only Sith who could've survived and reemerged is Plagueis.

>>91646378
I think that Thrawn is dead as hell from Rukh and there's no way he'll get a new trilogy.

>>91646411

>Here's the weird bit: JJ even considered the possibility of Snoke being a woman.

and that could easily be handwaved by Sheev having altered some of the facts when telling Anakin the Tragedy.

>>91646341
>In the last movie of the second trilogy, hint that there is a greater evil beyond our villian, in this case, his old master
Except for, you know, how the Rule of Two works.
Because that means that Sidious had to kill Plagueis to succeed him as Dark Lord of the Sith, who then took Maul as his Apprentice, followed by Dooku and finally Anakin
There was no secret power behind the Emperor, he was the pinnacle of everything the Sith ever wanted to achieve, and then he died because he got greedy and stupid.

As for poetry, making up stanza's then badly stapling them to the bottom of well loved classics doesn't exactly rhyme either, but here you are doing it

During Rey’s vision sequence in TFA, we can clearly hear the voice of Palpatine saying “any Jedi!” This carefully selected piece of audio was lifted from a scene form ROTS where Palpatine is talking to Anakin about saving Padme from death. Once again, this is a nod to Plagueis and the power he possessed to save people from dying. Why use this line? Why reference the PT when apparently “Disney are distancing themselves from the PT” as many deluded fans claim?

It was confirmed that there were NO Sith in TFA. Again, this resulted in fans claiming “Snoke can’t be Plagueis!” Nonsense. After cheating death, Plagueis would have abandoned the Sith order (Maul, Rebels anyone?!).

Sidious and Vader were the only two Sith remaining. Once Vader killed Sidious, the Sith were destroyed and balance was restored. Plagueis’ existence does not interfere in the prophecy.

So, Uncle George decides to bring back Darth Maul in TCW, after we watched him get sliced in half in TPM. George stated that he died in TPM at the hands of Obi-Wan Kenobi. He looked pretty dead to me too. Anyway, we now see Mr Maul pop up in ‘Rebels’ as ‘Old Master’. Mr Maul has made it clear that he despises the Sith and has nothing to do with the order any more. Hmmm, what’s this? A former Sith Lord, who has cheated death, abandoned the order, has been in the shadows for years, plotting his revenge on all of his enemies. What on earth could this be eluding to? Good work Mr Filoni, I see what you did there! Oh and one more thing...Why is Maul on the back cover of the Plagueis novel. Coincidental, isnt it…?

Andy Serkis: “I have no idea who he is!”

Interesting comments Andrew. Isn’t Snoke just Snoke? If he was just an original character, why is there a mystery surrounding his identity? But “He’s a newly introduced character!” I hear you cry. Well Andrew, we’ve never actually been introduced to Darth Plagueis before. We’ve only ever heard of him. So, technically Snoke IS a new character. He just used to go by a different name when he was a Sith Lord.

The List/Evidence against Plagueis = Snoke.

Supreme Leader Snoke, despite being horrifically damaged, is cheating death and all the other similarities he shares with Plagueis, as stated above, might just be a random new bad guy they’ve decided to introduce. Disney and some of the best storytellers and producers on the planet decided that this would be the way to go.

We have now been told by MSW that Snoke is dressed in gold and is all about the money! He's got a "palace" on his ridiculously huge Star Destroyer. He's minted and he flaunts it. Sounds like they've been taken elements from the Plagueis novel...again!

I've always been a believer that the ST is about the rise of a new Jedi order, which will result in the demise of the Skywalker's. As was heavily implied in ROTS, and as Ian McDiarmid eluded to at SWCO, Anakin was created by Plagueis. The Skywalker's are tainted by the Dark Side and their very existence is due to the all powerful former Sith Lord, Darth Plagueis.

Even the description of 'Snoke's' new guards seem to be based on Plagueis' Sun Guards and Snoke seeing the rise and fall of the Empire.

>>91646420
Never said Plagueis is Snoke, since theorising before the movie release is fun, but taking these theories serious is fucking retarted.

Just saying, Plagueis is canon. I had an impression, Palpatine's speech in the opera was one of his rare sincere heartfelt moments, even if he covered it with a pretense of a legend. The tale is true.

>>91646435

I'm just going off the one canon book he did get.

it did seem like Thrawn was dead in the epilogue, but there could easily be at least another one about Eli hanging out with the Chiss and learning about whatever great evil was out there, with flashbacks to when Thrawn was alive.

>>91646417
Even if that is true, it's still poor storytelling. Look at the star wars trilogies as a 3 act movie and Snoke is an ugly out of place tumor

>>91646469
this is the only compelling argument I've ever seen for Darth Plagueis being around

>>91646435
There's no way they will kill off Thrawn in the exact same manner as the original novels, everyone could see that coming and it wouldn't work as a twist or a plot point
Besides which, the circumstances for Ruhk's betrayal simply don't work in the pre-OT era Rebels is set in

>>91646482
but he's not. If the whole idea was to be original in casting a female then what could have dissuaded him?

>>91646482
That would've been pretty interesting tbqh.

>>91646486
He has no idea what plans they have for his character. I think you're reading into it too much.

>>91646482
Not really, all that sheet of designs tells us is that JJ was working with concept artists to throw ideas around and see what stuck. Someone obviously suggested a female design as a means to easily break away from the Emperor so they did some test sketches

What if he doesn't want palpy to know he's still alive? Does that not make perfect sense?

Either way, if he's hiding in the shadows and doesn't consider himself a sith anymore, than that's the way it is. Clone wars has Ventress, Dooku, Maul, Sheev, and Mauls brother alive all at the same time, and they all are considered sith at one point or another.

The epilogue was to explain why Vanto wasn't in Rebels despite being so close to Thrawn for a decade? or so. It felt poorly done because Thrawn only revealed his idea to send someone back to the Chiss Ascendancy in the last couple chapters, hoping Nightswan would do it. It was only mentioned once and never offered to Vanto in the main part of the story.

Support for Thrawn being dead: Acting like a massive sociopathic shitbag (think of the children) in Rebels, Bendu, S4 needs and ending, finality of Thrawn, Rukh

Support against: An open ended book for a MINOR character appearing in two seasons of a CHILDREN'S CARTOON, no one better suited to mapping (kek), an Imperial character (highranking) who has appeared somewhere

"The Saga films focus on the Skywalker family saga," she explains. "The stories follow a linear narrative that connects to the previous six films. The Force Awakens follows Return of the Jedi and continues that generational story. The Anthology films offer opportunities to explore fresh characters, new storylines and a variety of genres inside the Star Wars universe."

What this explanation — and specifically, the phrase, "continues that generational story" — suggests is that The Force Awakens and subsequent movies Episode VIII (directed by Rian Johnson, and intended for release in 2017) and Episode IX (directed by Colin Trevorrow, set for 2019) will feature a new generation of Skywalkers, beyond Luke (Mark Hamill) and Leia (Carrie Fisher). Daisy Ridley's character, Rey, has been rumored to be the daughter of Leia and Han Solo, but that remains to be unconfirmed at this point. Could there be another Skywalker hiding in plain sight that no-one knows about just yet…?

Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens Dec. 18.

>>91646653
no he was the original emperor tell the plan went horribly right.

>>91646553
Ventress and Savage were trained by Dooku, either as part of a plan to eventually topple Sidious or more likely simply because Dooku (being an ex-Jedi Master) never quite wrapped his head around the Rule of Two so sought strength in greater numbers
As for Maul, an apprentice surviving his death doesn't mean the Rule has been broken, he was still no longer Palpatine's apprentic

And you're entire theory relies on some guy faking his death and living so far off the grid that the literal Emperor of the galaxy, who has spent much greater effort on much smaller grievances, never heard so much as a single rumour about his old master still knocking about. And, of course, it relies on people actually remembering and giving a shit about that one scene in Revenge where Plagueis was brought up. I know that speech has become a bit of a meme in recent years, but its still not widespread, and even if people did recollect his own mention its not like he's been shown or hinted to have done literally anything beyond train Sidious. Making Snoke Plagueis would be a completely out of nowhere ass pull for no good reason
Besides, Palpatine has been thoroughly fucking dead for thirty years. Why the shit would Plagueis not use his real name at this point? Its not like he's got anything to fear

And unless Han, Leia and Chewie all become physically blind during their time on screen in TFA, there's no way they could not have noticed Rey is their kid, especially given how upset they both still were about Ben
Face it, making Rey connected to any of the OT characters makes those characters retroactively idiots at best, downright fucking scum at worst. She's a new character from a new family because the galaxy can't always be saved and doomed by a Skywalker

They tried to have another kid and "miscarried" or they had a daughter that "died" early. her being dumped on jakku point to her being stolen or hidden away.

her having the falcon, chewie as a partner, flight skills and strange interactions with both leia and han (though the leia one was just bad writing)

Plagueis being dead for realsies depends on Sheev being honest, and also Sheev not making a mistake like in ROTJ when he didn't forsee the way things turned out with Luke and Vader.

>>91646830
>there's no way they could not have noticed Rey is their kid
Consider this: While Han is out away from Leia/Ben/home, he knocks up some woman and throws the kid on Jakku to hide her (Rey) from Leia. Not a Skywalker by any means, since Han isn't one by blood.

>>91646801
Except it wasn't, at all. Sidious even frames it as part of the "Tragedy", that for all his skill with the Force and using it to create life Plagueis ultimately could not save himself. Its classic story telling, not some hint at some other dark side master out there who's going to spend over fifty years waiting in the wings

>>91646830
Unless they gave birth to another kid after Ben that they all assume is dead

>>91646871

What if the deeper point of the duel at the end of RotJ and indeed the Mortis trilogy was that the light and dark sides really don't have to clash as much as they do? Neither side of the Force is inherently good or evil, rather it's the people and groups that decide to represent them as they understand them. Too much selflessness leads to arrogance and lack of care and attention to oneself (the Jedi, for all selfless as they were confined themselves in a literal ivory tower overlooking the center of galactic civilization) whereas too much selfishness ends up being internally and externally destructive, leading to acts on impulse and paranoia in defense of oneself (the Sith hold power above everything. While there's nothing inherently wrong with protecting your power, they tend to go about it in ways that can be considered far beyond inhumane, such as the genocidal quelling of dissent). The Jedi exert the power within themselves to protect others, whereas the Sith exert power over others to protect themselves.

What kind of balance can be struck here?

>>91646847

>>91645767
That guy is actually not Yupe Tashu, but Janus Greejatus. The other one is one is Sim Aloo Yupe either wasn't on DS2 or he managed to escape, it was never made clear.

>>91646874
So now Han is not only a shitty dad to Ben, he also sleeps around and knocks up random women who then dump their kids with shady merchants on wasteland planets.

Okay.

>>91646956
He already is a Skywalker, just with a different last name and how do last names work in space anyway that can't be the naming convention of every culture in the galaxy can it

It's about family, he's part of the skywalker family. Do you consider your cousin part of your family? Personally, I do

>>91646872
There's a difference between "I made a calculated risk, but man am I bad at math" and "I killed a Sith Lord that I know to be excellent at manipulating biology with the Force, and didn't confirm the fucking kill"
ROTJ was Palpatine after decades of ruling the galaxy with an iron fist, getting complacent, greedy and sloppy. Back when he was an apprentice aiming to kill his Master he would have been far more aware and less likely to take risks

They're both Solo kids. Imperial somebody stole her away and they faked her death but forgot to retrieve her as they shifted into the First Order

Rey thinks Luke is her father and he tells her "I am not your father"

>>91647064
The whole point of Kreia is that she's crazy.

>>91646959
The problem with both the Jedi and the Sith is that they embrace their ideologies to the point of extremism, suppresing the opposite, both within and without.

The Jedi were so afraid of the dark side that they build a wall around themselves, which made them oblivious to life's shades. It directly made them stubborn, dogmatic and shortsighted. The Sith on the other completely give themselves in to the passion and selfishness, and that thirst of power consumes them completely.

The balance needs to start at an individual level. Each individual must find their own center. Without stringing themselves up in rules and doctrine. Without giving into their base impulses. That requires an order that is both free and flexible, but also puts an enormous emphasis on personal responsibility.

Been awhile since I watched it, but didn't he feel she was another Force user and later tried to invade her mind and when met with heavy resistance confirmed that for him. Jedi have been known to sense each other from planets away at times.

>>91646667
It would really undermine Palpatine's story though. It has a clear point and implication to it so for Plagueis to be retconned as alive destroys the entire scene.

It's an Imperial-controlled planet that is a "beacon for showing how great the Empire is." An Admiral controls it, and his daughter is the main character of the EABF2 campaign and presumably the Inferno Squad novel as well. This is all from the EA panel on Saturday.

>“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

people who deny themselves entertainment based on perceived merits of "artistry" or "maturity" are not adults, they are children

Vardos is the home planet of the protag from Battlefront 2, and its whole hyper-Brutalist steel and concrete aesthetic seem to have heavily inspired the First Order (in-universe at least)

The only possible way I can see that Kylo knew Rey before TFA is that he was having second thoughts about serving Snoke and had her spirited away. Gives some asshat the keys to his dad's car and let's him take her away. Basically feeling that she was capable in the Force but never brought her straight to Luke because he was already entangled with Snoke and not sure if he wanted to be a jedi, a sith, or something else.

Because Abrams can't have an original thought. Death Star III, Skywalker is Dark Side/destroys Jedi, Rebellion is all that remains to fight an overpowering Empire. Why even fucking bother making a sequel. Just follow Star Trek and reboot this shit.
