S6 ep 11 Yoda is having a freak out hearing Qui and tells the council about. They help him meditate and send him to Dr. Before he jets to Dagobah.

On episode 3 Yoda tells Obiwan about Qui to his utter surprise. My point is that it's yet another Lucas messing with shit con cause he could.

Ah, but none of them actually believe it's actually Qui-Gon in that episode arc. They all feel it's an illusion/hallucination of some kind (which is what Obi-Wan thought too when he seemingly met Qui-Gon's ghost in a cave in S3)...it's not until the very end of the 13th ep that Yoda realizes that it wasn't an illusion and the Force-beings he meets inform him that the spirit of Qui-Gon will train him in how to become a Force Ghost. That arc takes place somewhere in the waning hours before Ep III begins...so technically the next time he really gets a chance to relate this news to Obi-Wan is at the end of EpIII, and it's the first time Obi-Wan is fully assured his master did master coming back after death.

So it pretty much fits in canon still.

So one of our vendors just let us know that they are inviting 3 of us to a pre-screening of the new movie at 6pm EST on Dec 17th.

OH GOD YES PLEASE.

That is all.

It just gets.. better. I'm loving those wide shots of Tatooine, the crashed ruins, and that ship gracefully ascending.. and all the other bits.

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

Anyone else getting the sinking feeling that this movie is being marketed to nerds?

A tad longer shot of Rey crying over something brown and furry.... Idk why they would put that in trailer if it's that person but it's likely that could make its way in from EU.

Pretty sure I heard Wilham Scream to lol

It's definitely an ewok.

I'm starting to really enjoy the Jedi Council videos Collider makes every Thursday. That's some true fans there. I find myself drawn to their Canon news even though I'm remaining strong on my no more bks stance. I ll just listen to them connect the dots instead of spending my $. They did say last episode they think that movie bks are still canon and would investigate. I'm kinda concerned though with them saying the ep 7 book will drop on 18th. That means the story will be out ahead of time as we ve seen with QT getting bks a week early. I ll be furious if someone leaks the plot online before people have seen movie. They really should push back release by a week or so.

With something like TFA with such a strong embargo...the shipment of the books USUALLY won't go out to stores until the day it's mean tto come out. AFTERMANTH, for example was set for Force Friday...and it came out Force Friday not before, and when I asked the bookstore told me shit like that only comes on the day, never befroe like regular books.

So what odds do y'all give on K/R being siblings/cousins/unrelated?
Me 95/4.9/.01

I'm going with cousins, Rey is Luke's daughter (unknown or dead mother....Mara Jade?) and Kylo is Han and Leia's wayward son. Just a guess.

They could very well both be Solo's and twins like Jacen and Jaina were (remember that Rey is supposedly a bullshit disguuise name and her real name is Kira....Kira and Kylo...)

Awe just saw on Jedi Council that mega fan Daniel who was on his death bed had JJ call him to set up a viewing of 7. He got to see it before he passed Tuesday. That's very moving and I'm glad he got a chance to see it.

One hopes he died happy and not disappointed.

(I don't suppose he let slip any spoilers, or a rating? No? Ok)

More TV spots, and footage, and clips have dropped since that last trailer...but I've decided to avoid them. I'm good to wait the month till the film drops now and go in as fresh as I can.

The 17th is going to be difficult... I'm not seeing it until 8pm, while my brother will be there for 11am.

I'm going to have my phone turned off all day I think.. I don't even want to hear 'its good/bad/ok before I see it, but that's going to be nigh on impossible in the run up I guess.

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

Makes sense - wasn't the weapon on the original death star powered by kyber crystals, based on Palps knowledge of lightsaber construction?

I'm so beyond excited! It's like the best early Christmas gift!

Also, my Black Friday purchase, A REBELS-era Vader & Ahsoka two-figure pack, came in the mail today! Ahsoka's white-bladed lightsabers are the bomb-diggity.
