Episode IX: Spoilers and Rumors

@bashfulblueeyes3 wrote:Also, just a reminder that if Rey and Kylo do fight, it will probably be in the first or second act. I don’t think they are going to promote what happens in the third act of the movie.

Episode 9: So plot info was pretty much non-existent here. They only mentioned that it takes place about a year after TLJ. They talked about the culmination of the movie being a battle between Rey and Kylo. The did show a ton or artwork of planets and characters. The said Kylo has his helmet back and that it has been put back together with some kind of red adhesive. It looked kinda cool with the red lines going through it. They also talked about Rey's lightsaber and how it's back and has been reforged. They said the reforge is not shown on screen. There's a new droid. It's name is Dio and it's sort of a sidekick to BB8. It's little and has sort of a cone shaped head, kind of like a megaphone shape if you can picture it. Beyond that it was just a lot of artwork and toy packaging. They mentioned various new planet terrains but the only one I remember was some kind of Jungle planet.

@ZioRen

Ugh, I was hoping that this "Rey and Kylo's is the culmination" guy was wrong, because that could possibly mean 3rd Act Reylo.

@SoloSideCousin

I don't believe for one second that Adam and Daisy won't share scenes together until the third act... They might have a battle in the third act but I bet they see each other a lot before that, probably through force bonds again but we will see.

Rey looks a lot like Padme

kylo with the hood is gorgeous, his helmet has something red, it looks like blood . I can not wait to see other images .

Really loving these look, specially Kylo's. I am almost sure the mask is back only to sell toys but it looks cool too. Rey's a little boring I guess? But the contrast between them looks awesome.

omg i was just thinking about the padme thing! Padme was wearing that outfit when she and anakin had their we're gonna die so lets kiss" moment mhmmm
Also hello to bride and groom imagery!!

Legit or not it's interesting how much of it conforms to things fan discussions consider Fait accompli, like Richard E Grant playing an Imperial and annoying guy from Lost being the BFG's new pal. Lando in a cape, like does anybody think that won't happen? The outfits do look a little dull. It's back to the classy gas station look that Carrie roasted JJ about and prompted Kaplan upping his costume game, including space jewelry.

- Rey and Kylo's costumes are definitely the "We both went back to what we were good at doing" I'd expect for the opening act.
- It's not a coincidence Rey's outfit is similar to the AotC outfit. They've already said outright in the BTS doc for TFA how they reviewed and re-use scrapped designs from previous productions that are archived at Lucasfilm and Pinewood. The one difference is that being a poor she can't accessorize it with a pashmina.
- Reverting to her original hairstyle is a curious choice. That detail emphasized how sad/pathetic her life on Jakku was by dressing to be recognized by people whose death and personal betrayal she'd blocked out as childhood trauma. Though that experience cemented her good girl coping behavior so it fits she'd go back to playing that role.
- The patched-up mask and costume also fits for the opening act because he's acting out the villain (set identity quote from Kurosawa Kasdan always quotes, plus Rian's comments) he thinks he's supposed to be. And he can only force choke underlings for so long because his "let's take over the galaxy" plan depending on having Rey as back-up. He's on his own, so the mask is part of how he's trying to bluff his way through it. If they're going to continue with the theme in Solo of "there's always somebody higher up" and you have Grant playing an old Imperial, the costume is going to be part of his con.



- As with TFA, mask will come off in a dramatic moment. Also not a coincidence how that moment mirrored one in the OT, especially being written by the same person


Otherwise if it's an actual leak, there's nothing terribly shocking here based on logical conclusions. And it's also definitely early stage costume for Kylo if they also continue with "too much of your father's heart...no Vader" themes that have been hammered home through three movies already. I would love to know what Carrie would think about how her last appearance as Leia is in the outfit she gave JJ so much crap about!

ETA - the bit about Lando wearing an outfit similar to the one for him as a young man in Solo is interesting because that movie isn’t a standalone or prequel, it’s an addendum to the ST about Han which explains his arc in TFA, especially as a father. Lando is tied to that.

Why is everyone guessing Rey has her 3 buns back? Are there any pictures besides this one from the leak? Could it not be just one single bun, like Padme? When the whole outfit is so similar to Padme´s in AOTC?

Yea, it doesn't look like three buns tied back to me...she somewhat has hair down her neck, so to me that would imply different style.

it's possible

I made an error in the last article and I accidentally left in a bit about Rey’s hair. I made it sound like her hair is the same as it was for The Last Jedi and I actually meant to write The Force Awakens in which there is a practical reason for. wrote:

Grain of salt obviously because it's an anonymous person, but this was posted to the Lords of the Sith Podcast Tumblr just now:

The green planet: I wonder if that's the same jungle planet that the reddit leaker OP talked about in the same post from 2 months ago.

If there is one leak I hope is genuine it's that Rey's sabre has a cracked crystal .....because she and Kylo truly would be opposite sides of the same coin then.

@MindAndMagic

More than the costume leak, I'm impressed by this, the way they're promoting Kylo is super redeemable IMO.

About the return of the mask, I don't know if people here use to read fics, but it's interesting that in the fics post-TLJ, writers always write him with the mask (the main reason is that he doesn't fit the role of Supreme Leader, so he uses the mask to 'mask' his uneasiness).

look look look   CONFIRMED 100% ? what do you think

the NEW COSTUME OF KYLO REN  !!!!! HAVE CHANGED SOMETHING but as always it's amazing!!!!!

@Teo oswald

Now seeing better details his tunic looks more rounded towards the hips ? But maybe it’s just me some parts of it towards the hood and where the cloak meets the arms looks a bit Photoshopped ?

@Teo oswald

hm, am I the only one disappointed by his "new costume"...? It looks like a mixture of his TFA & TLJ costume- nothing new or original.

I think it's not 100% accurate. Apparently, it's someone's recreation of the leaked pictures:https://www.reddit.com/r/starwarsspeculation/comments/ap8p0n/my_attempt_at_recreating_kylo_ren_from_the/

Hi @Atenais - to which novel post-TLJ are you referring please?

I doubt he's going to stay in one outfit the entire movie. Same for Rey. They never leak any third act stuff. Generally just first, maybe a little second act stuff.

@Moonlight13

exact he or she has created what he saw in the picture , I personally find it a good job , gives us an idea of how his costume will be.

@Night Huntress I'm a little bit. now I do not want to say a bullshit, maybe I'm wrong but kylo has never changed costume, it is only removed pieces.
In the first one he had a hood and a sort of long tunic, in the second one only the mantle ....

nothing about this "costume leaks" is new or exciting imo. I didn't expect a big change between TFA & TLJ because they are so close in timeline.
But if the rumors are true IX takes place about a year after VIII- and that's all they could come up with?

Not sure what I expected but certainly more than this...Well, as long as they deliver a good story I don't really care.

I read some, so I can't remember all, but in these fics or he's wearing the mask to keep his Supreme Leader persona or, when he's not wearing the mask, it's commented that it makes him feel uneasy since his face shows too much. Here some: Footnotes, World In My Eyes, Sealed To Me, The Black Forest.

Now that we’ve seen so many sensitive emotions play across his face, the getup with the mask/hood/cape seems ridiculously overkill. He’s trying way too hard to look evil
