● “Lando briefly. Rey with Chewie's bowcaster. Finn in some abandoned looking
ship interior.” (Scott Ladewig, March 8, 2019)
● “So @dizparks just reminded me that we saw a marketplace (?) scene with Rey
walking through and some aliens.” (Scott Ladewig, March 8, 2019)
● “A really cool clip of Daisy doing wire work, jumping and turning a somersault
high up in the air with a lightsaber.” ( Scott Ladewig, March 8, 2019)
● “He (Kylo Ren) was in a room like in the rebel Blockade runner style, that bright
white. And he's looking down as a box or container opens to reveal the charred
Vader helmet.” (Scott Ladewig, March 8, 2019)
● “Footage included quick shots of all the main characters: Poe, Finn, Rey, then
Kylo looking down and then we see he is looking at a container of some kind
opening to reveal it has Vader's helmet inside.” (Matthew Hansen)
● “Rey says "It's too dangerous, I'm going alone." Poe then says "We're going
together." We see Poe, Rey, Finn and Chewbacca all settling into the cockpit of
the Millennium Falcon.” (Matthew Hansen)
II. PLANET AND LOCATIONS DETAILS
● Black Park was used to film a swamp planet and a jungle planet.
(MSW article)
● Jordan was used as a filming location for two planets. (MSW podcast)
● One of the Jordan planet could be Tatooine, and the other planet
could be named Pazama. (MSW podcast)
● The movie was partially shot at the cardington sheds (previously used
for Yavin IV) for the final «zero gravity» battle. (MSW podcast)
● Kylo Ren has a new ship, it's white with red and black details and cool
gadgets. Vader's helmet is on that ship. (MSW podcast)
● Rey has put the Skywalker saber back together. Her hair is similar to
TFA's due to her scenes with Leia. She also has Luke's X-Wing
helmet. She figures out the MacGuffin. (MSW article)
● Adam Driver/Kylo Ren was in Jordan. He put his mask back together
with some red adhesive. He does not wear his mask in the second half
of the movie. When we pick up with Kylo's story in IX, he's still
struggling between the Light Side and the Dark Side. In addition to
this, he's also dealing with how to reconcile his feelings (=love) toward
Rey. (MSW podcast, JediPaxis’ sources)
● The Knights of Ren are here, their weapons aren't the same as in
TFA. They look like Star Wars-ish medieval weapons. Some of them
can use the force.(JediPaxis’ sources)
● Old 4Chan Leak (Might be true, might be bullshit/a lucky guess, but
some parts of it are true, as MSW reported similar things a few weeks
after this leak): Palpatine is back but not how you'd expect. A copy of
his consciousness is held within an item (the MacGuffin). He
possessed a body and ruled as Snoke. When Snoke was cut in half,
the consciousness returned to the MacGuffin. ( Old 4chan leak, unconfirmed but
likely)
● Kylo needs to destroy the MacGuffin to stop Palpatine from reclaiming
the First Order through another host. (Old 4chan leak, unconfirmed but likely)
● The Knights of Ren have returned from the Beyond. (Source) (MSW art)
● The Knights of Ren return to Kylo with info on where they think the
MacGuffin is. (Old 4chan leak, unconfirmed but likely)
● Kylo Ren has accumulated private armies and militias under The First
Order banner to strengthen his faction against any opposition to his
rule. Things get interesting for him when a threat from The Beyond
reveals itself, making him vulnerable. This threat serves as a
motivating factor for Kylo's and Rey's interactions as the story
progresses. (Source)
● Kylo Ren goes to a dark, creepy castle-looking building. A monkey
looking creature was on the set. (MSW podcast)
● The castle/creepy domain is owned by an “ape man” who agrees to
help Kylo fix his mask and to activate a device that will take him and
his knights towards their goals. First they must “reforge” the mask and
then they’ll be ready to continue on their quest. There was ash
involved outside which means it could be Mustafar. (MSW article)
● Kylo’s mask is reforged. The sequence is ritualistic, the Knights of Ren
kind of dance around it. (Teaser) (MSW podcast)
● The Knights of Ren actually stalk around the work being done excited
and eager for the work to be done. They sound like a rowdy and evil
bunch of degenerates. (MSW article)
● A Jungle planet is involved at the very beginning. (Star Wars Celebration Panel)
● 3PO's memory is in an old Rebel Blockade Runner on the Jungle
planet. (MSW podcast/BTS footage)
● Once 3PO's memory has been retrieved, the hero group goes to a
snow planet. (MSW article) (Teaser)
● The snow planet has a huge market and a droid factory. (MSW podcast)
● The group visits the droid factory. ( MSW article)
● C3PO reluctantly has his memory uploaded to R2D2 which leads to
some funny issues for R2. ( MSW article)
● The new droid D.O. is introduced around the factory sequence and his
help is required. He might be related to Keri Russell’s character/Zorii.
(MSW article)
● The heroes are helped off the snow planet by a character wearing a
purple and gold costume (Might be Zorii) (MSW article)
● Kylo either seeks out or is summoned by a new character/creature that
is being referred as "the Oracle", that supposedly lives on the swamp
planet. (JediPaxis' sources) (Unofficial drawing)
● A Resistance VS First Order battle takes place on the swamp planet.
● Kylo Ren fights some unknown foes in a (possibly) different location
(Sources unclear) (Teaser) (MSW podcast)
● Rey figures out the MacGuffin, and a big part of the cast («everyone»)
ends up on one of the Jordan planets. Good guys VS Bad guys. (MSW
podcast)
● The heroes celebrate being reunited at a festival of sorts before the
battle. (MSW article)
● Kylo Ren attacks Rey with his TIE Fighter on a sand planet. (Teaser) (MSW
Patreon)
● There is footage of Kylo walking away from a TIE Fighter crash on this
planet. (MSW podcast)
● There was a pre-visual shot of Kylo Ren jumping out of the TIE Fighter
and came down Obi Wan style in ‘Revenge of the Sith’ then his
lightsaber ignited and he and Rey fight. (MSW podcast)
● Rey and Kylo Ren are much more powerful than they were in ‘The
Last Jedi’. When they clash lightsabers they link minds again, this time
without the help of an outside force like Snoke. (MSW podcast)
● Rey and Kylo clash and as they battle the backgrounds change into
places throughout Star Wars’ vast locations from the nine part
Skywalker saga. (MSW Article)
● Finn, Poe and 3PO get into a speeder chase. (Teaser)
● The Knights of Ren are present on this planet. There are six of them in
the movie. (MSW podcast)
● Lando Calrissian had sequences filmed for the Jordan set at Pinewood
(MSW article)
● The jungle planet reappears at the end of act II. It’s the location
everyone meets at before the heroes go onto their climatic encounters
with evil at the end of the film. But apparently things do not go as
planned during the resistance planning sequence of the film and a
skirmish breaks out. ( MSW article) (MSW podcast)
● There appears to be a sequence where the heroes go down into a
cave earlier on. It sounds like the heroes enter the cave and that is
where we are introduced to Klaud, a giant slug who agrees to help the
resistance fighters. (MSW article)
● Following the introduction of Klaud a resistance meeting takes place
that takes our heroes to the ending. (MSW article)
● The Falcon has a pretty bad fire on this jungle world. It seems like the
Falcon makes it off the planet. However, this being the end of the
second act, we can’t be certain the Falcon makes it. The Falcon
seems to get a lot of abuse in this film. (MSW article)
● The group goes to the ruins of a Death Star at some point in the
movie. (Teaser)
● There was a massive ship on the Cardington sheds set. The final
battle with zero gravity could have been filmed there. (MSW podcast)
● A battle was filmed in the Cardington Sheds (previously used to film
scenes on Yavin IV), and is said to have a «zero gravity» factor, and
that it takes place on Kylo's new ship. ( MSW podcast)
● The zero gravity battle is seemingly tied to the big tank of water
scenes that were being shot at Pinewood. It’s possible that the final
battle is Kylo’s ship crashing down onto the Death Star site. They still
fight on the wing of Kylo’s ship. (MSW podcast)
● Rey and Kylo team up against that “outside threat” The person is in a
black robe and cloak (and is supposedly played by Matt Smith, who is
not a Knight of Ren or their leader). (MSW article)
● Kylo and Rey team up to destroy Palpatine once and for all. (Old 4chan
leak, unconfirmed but likely).
● Kylo Ren/Ben Solo is injured at the end of the movie (lots of red
makeup used, as well as fake blood). (Source)
● According to Jason Ward, Kylo “kind of dies”, but not permanently,
apparently. (MSW podcast)
● The movie supposedly ends on Tatooine (Personal speculation: Could be at
the Lars homestead with a Binary Sunset shot). ( MSW podcast)
● Han Solo is in the movie. Luke appears to be the twist in the
encounter. Han Solo tells Ben Solo it isn’t too late and the sequence
has a tone of forgiveness and understanding to it. He’s not a “force
ghost” in the classic sense and he’s part of a “vision” or “dream” type
moment induced by Luke Skywalker.” (MSW article)
● There's multiple Luke & Leia flashbacks, some involve Jedi training.
(MSW podcast/JediPaxis’ sources)
● There may be a sequence earlier in the film that shows a young Luke
Skywalker and Princess Leia having an important conversation that
will change how we see some of the characters involved in the sequel
trilogy. ( MSW article)
● Kylo and Rey have a force link at some point in the movie. ( MSW Patreon)
● Kylo and Rey have a fight involving snow; not sure if it’s during a
Force “Flash Fight”, or on the snow planet. (MSW podcast)
● A cemetery/graveyard is also supposedly involved. (MSW Patreon)
● Something in the movie is about “resurrection” and “sacrifice” (MSW
podcast, unclear)
