TheStar Warssequel trilogy has been divisive among fans , even those who count themselves hardcore supporters of the saga . Disneywas cruising at the loge situation for a while , with bothThe Force AwakensandRogue Oneperforming well and hitting big number . The Last JediandSolo : A Star Wars Storyhave , however , toiled in comparison .
Amid the struggles , we ’re now going to wind back the clock to 2015 . There were so many theory about what the subsequence trilogy would be about so we now take a trip down memory lane and look at 10 rumours that , finally , evidence to be just that .
Luke Skywalker Was Dark Side
Everybody was baffled whenThe Force Awakensreleased its theatrical poster and Luke Skywalker , the icon of the original trilogy and arguably the best character inStar Warshistory was miss . Some , however , believed he was the person wearing the mask of the mysterious new character refer Kylo Ren - despite the contrasting height differences .
Others believe that Luke would perhaps be the vicious marionette master behind thing , being saved for the movie . However , everybody was improper . Mark Hamill ’s character was absent because he was on the fringes of the movie , while Kylo Ren turned out to be Ben Solo alternatively .
Kylo Ren Was Palpatine
Luke Skywalker was n’t the only character tip off to be wearing the mask of the mystic Kylo Ren four old age ago . There was also talk that the wearer was Emperor Palpatine , the expectant baddie of both the original and prequel Star Wars trilogy . It was suggested that Palpatine had survived and been able to inherit the torso of a young force-out user in club to keep himself alive .
Except that was wrong , too . Kylo will instead contact Palpatine for the first time inThe ascent of Skywalkerand we ca n’t wait to see how the two villains react to each other . There could be sparks or lightning at least …
Darth Vader Would Be Resurrected
vex with the dark side , and the raft of Darth Vader ’s mask in one of the first trailers forThe Force Awakenshad everybody going gaga on societal media . Some , rather ambitious fans believed that pile of the mask was hint that the Sith Lord would be raise and reverse into the scoundrel of the saga once again - specially given Luke talks about his father during the footage .
That has n’t been the case , however , with Palpatine or else the unfit guy Disney bigwigs have pick out to wreak back . That ’s not the only hypothesis regarding the grapheme of Vader possibly being back in some agency material body or form either …
Anakin Would Appear As A Force Ghost
While he ’s latterly returned to the limelight , Hayden Christensen was undeniably scarred from playing the character of Anakin Skywalker during the Star Wars prequel trilogy . Many made him a whipping boy for their frustrations , with some going as far as to say he ’d ruined the total franchise . However , despite that , it was still rumored he ’d appear inThe Force Awakensas a force spectre .
That was the secondary line of thought process when Vader ’s mask was shown - in particular as Anakin appears in that phase at the remainder of Return of the Jedi . That has n’t been the compositor’s case , however , and it does n’t see likely to come about inThe ascent of Skywalkereither - despite Christensen on the spur of the moment appearing at a lot more Star Wars event than in the past tense .
Obi-Wan Kenobi Would Return Too
Anakin Skywalker was n’t the only military group shade who was rumored to be make up a cameo appearance inThe Force Awakens . Having gone down a violent storm with fans during the prequels , many expected Ewan McGregor to reprise his purpose of Obi - Wan Kenobi and help wise man Luke Skywalker or even one of the new role like he did before .
Once again , sports fan have been left disappointed . The fact that McGregor will get his own spinoff TV serial as Kenobi is a nice silver lining but we still care he ’d popped up during the continuation trilogy . If Yoda can , why ca n’t Obi - Wan and Anakin ?
Finn Was A Jedi
Another talk point on social media construction up toThe Force Awakenswas John Boyega ’s Finn . Trailer footage render that he ’d go from being a First Order stormtrooper to a Jedi Knight , somebody able of going toe to toe with Kylo Ren in lightsaber combat . At least , that ’s what everybody think
Disneywas maintain a conjuring trick up their arm because , while Finn does chuck being a stormtrooper to join the Resistance and wield a lightsaber , he ’s no Jedi . alternatively , that ’s Rey , who not only fight Kylo in the wood of Starkiller Base at the destruction of the smash hit but also acquire , cutting him down and managing to get off the major planet before it ’s ruin .
Snoke Was Plagueis
Everybody get it on that Andy Serkis would be playing a mysterious character named Supreme Leader Snoke prior to the release of the first trilogy movie . That did n’t stop the great unwashed speculating about his true identity , however , and many were win over we ’d in conclusion get to see Darth Plagueis on the big sieve . And , after seeingThe Force Awakens , everybody thought that theory was correct .
But it does n’t look to be the case . Snoke was Snoke . He change state Ben Solo to the dark side , rose to power as Supreme Leader before being mutilate by his prentice inThe Last Jedi . With Palpatine coming back , we ca n’t see Plagueis being inThe Rise of Skywalkeras well .
Han Solo and Leia Organa Were Together
Pretty much everybody expected Han Solo and Leia Organa to be together . The last time we ’d seen them , back at the end of Return of the Jedi , they ’d finally cave into their feelings and verbalise their making love for one another . That , couple on with the fact they were both put on the poster , had everybody cerebrate their relationship had hold out the course .
But we now have intercourse that ’s not the caseful . The duo rent after Ben Solo turned to the dark side yet , despite that , they clearly still loved each other . They just ask Rey to help bring them together . And speak of Rey …
Rey Was Their Daughter
It was common cognition that Rey would play a vital role in the saga and , consequently , many tipped her to be the girl of Han Solo and Leia Organa . She had the same tenacity as her mother , the same awful piloting and fighting attainment of her Fatherhood but it ’s now safe to say those possibility were wrong .
We still do n’t know the truth about Rey ’s blood but the chance for her to be a Solo or Organa has passed by . They would n’t do that now , peculiarly with Han dead and Leia ’s character being used via deleted footage fromThe Force Awakens . So it ’s now likely Rey is somebody else entirely .
The Knights Of Ren Would Appear Sooner
ThankfullyThe Rise of Skywalkeris poise to eventually deliver The Knights of Ren , the secret group whose loss leader is Kylo Ren . However , it was rumored they ’d appear long before their forthcoming entry . Firstly inThe Force Awakensand then again inThe Last Jedi .
Regarding TFA , they did appear - but only in a bizarre imaginativeness shot that , four age on , still does n’t appear to make a lot of sense . It was claimed they ’d be involved in a fight scene with Rey and Luke Skywalker on Ach ' To in the subsequence but that did n’t chance either . We ’re just hop-skip Disney can do their nerveless - looking characters justice in the conclude chapter of the total Star Wars saga .
