Star Wars discussion

[Jukka the Sling]

*screams wildly*

[CaptainRocktree]

The hype is building up again!

[Eulaliaaa!]

Can't wait, this is gonna be great!

[Firehawke]

SO excited!  Can't wait!

Anyone else watching Star Wars Rebels?

[The Skarzs]

No.

[321tumbler]

What do you mean? It's so exciting!

[The Skarzs]

I just mean I don't watch it.

[Firehawke]

If you get a chance, you should give it a try!

Just found out no new episode until February 18th.

A couple things to keep in mind:

Jedi is plural as well.

In the opening crawl for FA, Luke is referred to as the last Jedi.

[Groddil]

Wonder if they'll kill off Leia now that Carrie Fishers out of the picture. I mean, Harrison Ford is still alive and they had no qualms killing him off.

[James Gryphon]

If I was running things I'd simply move her character off-screen. Killing two major characters in two films would be extremely depressing, and at that point starts feeling like dark fancruft (like everything in the old EU/Legends from Vector Prime on) instead of a legitimate sequel to possibly the most loved sci-fi trilogy of all time.

They stated they're not going to digitally recreate her, they can't  recast her, so they're probably going to move her off screen and kill her quietly in IX. Maybe they'll just have the small note that she died in the crawl for VIII.

[The Skarzs]

Fantastic turn of events.

[Groddil]

They should have killed her instead of Han. All the filming for VIII is done though. So yeah, she might get offed between movies, or in IX.

How would killing off Leia have benefited the plot in any way? She did not have a major role in the story, and nor was she connected to the main characters in a way that meant they would be personally effected by her death, unlike Han.
