Good grief... I hope not. I excused TFA for following the same story line as ANH, but this would be too much to the point of laughing out loud ridiculousness.

Geez... I wouldn't pick the dark side, just because all the old dark side dudes look totally f-d up!

Daisy Ridley Says Rey’s Parents Reveal in 'Last Jedi' Is a "Moving Moment"

Could be Leia's kid if not Luke's which everyone assumes she is, just makes more sense that it's Luke's. Anyone else would just be written for shock value which would be kind of lame. I also hope Kenobi had a kid at some point who is secretly an ultra badass jedi and maybe a few years younger than Luke.

Sorry if discussed earlier, could Snoke be Tarkin?

Snoke is not human.

No, he was atomized on the first Death Star.

To Clay's point that he isn't human - could he be a clone? That wouldn't technically make him a "human". And not necessarily of Tarkin, but of any character we've seen up to this point*?










*I don't think this is the case at all and Snoke is something new we haven't met before (still hoping for some reference to the Unknown Regions), but Mizzou 8541 planted just enough of a seed to make me think about it

He's seven feet tall. He’s not human.

Snoke has been described as "Humanoid" but he's not human

New ‘Star Wars’ Trilogy in Works With Rian Johnson, TV Series Also Coming to Disney Streaming Service

Disney has just closed a deal with director Rian Johnson to develop a new “Star Wars” trilogy, and it is planning a live-action “Star Wars” TV series to air on its entertainment streaming service that is expected to launch by the end of 2019. Disney chairman-CEO Bob Iger announced the “Star Wars” news during the company’s quarterly earnings call. In addition to the “Star Wars” TV series, Disney is working on TV adaptations of Pixar’s “Monsters Inc.,” the Disney Channel’s “High School Musical” franchise and an original series from Marvel.

Johnson helmed “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” which is due out next month. He’s set to write and direct another trio of “Star Wars” theatrical pics with his longtime collaborator Ram Bergman. “We all loved working with Rian on ‘The Last Jedi,’” said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm. “He’s a creative force, and watching him craft ‘The Last Jedi’ from start to finish was one of the great joys of my career. Rian will do amazing things with the blank canvas of this new trilogy.” The long-term pact with Johnson comes on the heels of Lucasfilm having some rocky relations with filmmakers on other “Star Wars” pics.

“We had the time of our lives collaborating with Lucasfilm and Disney on ‘The Last Jedi,’ ” Johnson and Bergman said in a joint statement. “ ‘Star Wars’ is the greatest modern mythology and we feel very lucky to have contributed to it. We can’t wait to continue with this new series of films.”

This also means that he'll have more "power" to guide the storyline in Episode IX so hopefully, it won't be all Abrams and his sensibilities.

This makes more even more stoked for The Last Jedi, if possible.

Although, it is curious how he's the one to helm a new trilogy after they brought JJ back in to do Episode IX.

Well, if he was the sole writer and director of Episode IX, which is supposed to begin principal photography in early 2018, there's no way he'd have time to create a new trilogy and have the first episode ready by 2021.
