[QUOTE="OB1, post: 7873178, member: 6796241"] This feels like it will be the opening scene of the film and I think ties in nicely with my prediction about what to expect from Palps in the episode "A Jedi uses the force for knowledge and defense, never for attack." Master Yoda I'd say the end of TLJ was the perfect embodiment of this ideal, and Luke was totally badass in the way that a true Jedi Master would be. He didn't, but the spirit of Siddious did and has been waiting for a dark side using Jedi to come along to possess and regain his full power. The spirit of Siddious has been stuck on the Death Star since Palpatine's death. The Emperor always had contingency plans based on things her foresaw. Seeing the possibility of his own death at the hands of Darth Vader, he had the fleet constructed so that when he returned to the mortal world, he would be ready to conquer the galaxy again. Horrified by the destruction of Hosnian Prime, a galaxy that only wanted peace is now ready to fight back once more just as it did after the destruction of Alderan. Nope. And if I had to guess, Rey is one of many clones of the same force sensitive original, hence why she saw hundreds of copies of herself in the dark side cave and why there is a 'Darth' Rey. Superweapons are critical to the Emperor's plans. After dissolving the Senate in ANH, these weapons are the only way for the Emperor to maintain control without the bureaucracy. That's why we had a DSII and Star Killer Base. As part of the Emperor's contingency, he was looking to miniaturize the technology so that it wouldn't be tied to a single, super expensive and vulnerable weapon. Nope, the PT was about destroying the old order, the OT about rebirth, and the ST is about creating something new. The failure of the galaxy after the OT was in trying to go back to the old ways, instead of creating something new and better. Hence the Skywalkers replacing the Jedi, who, as good as they were for a thousand generations, had a critical weakness. Amazingly, I think the ST is far more set up to tie up the entire Skywalker Saga than I would have guessed. I have a strong sense that there was a clear story blueprint behind the trilogy that Kennedy got from Lucas and that the only real misstep in the series came when they decided to rewrite the ending of TFA to center around Starkiller Base.
