Before Han can settle down with Leia, he has one last debt to pay. This is a story of our favorite BFFs on Chewie's home planet.<br /><br />Interesting, because according to the timeline Han should already be married to Leia and Leia already pregnant, so it seems odd to phrase it "BEFORE Han can settle down with Leia".Ewokkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890491490654088747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-20718607469125655302016-03-19T14:54:21.429-05:002016-03-19T14:54:21.429-05:00Hmm, the new summary calls her Leia Organa. Maybe ...Hmm, the new summary calls her Leia Organa. Maybe she goes by Leia Organa Solo in her personal life and Leia Organa profesionally? Would make sense, given how respected Bail Organa was in the old Republic.<br /><br />WITNESS THE BIRTH OF THE RESISTANCE<br /><br />When the Rebellion defeated the Empire in the skies above Endor, Leia Organa believed it was the beginning to a lasting peace. But after decades of vicious infighting and partisan gridlock in the New Republic Senate, that hope seems like a distant memory.<br /><br />Now a respected senator, Leia must grapple with the dangers that threaten to cripple the fledgling democracy—from both within and without. Underworld kingpins, treacherous politicians, and Imperial loyalists are sowing chaos in the galaxy. Desperate to take action, senators are calling for the election of a First Senator. It is their hope that this influential post will bring strong leadership to a divided galaxy. <br /><br />As the daughter of Darth Vader, Leia faces with distrust the prospect of any one person holding such a powerful position—even when supporters suggest Leia herself for the job. But a new enemy may make this path Leia’s only option. For at the edges of the galaxy, a mysterious threat is growing. . . .Ewokkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890491490654088747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-81825140645306714992016-03-19T14:52:38.139-05:002016-03-19T14:52:38.139-05:00Leia isn't going to die in Episode VIII at lea...Leia isn't going to die in Episode VIII at least. The director for Episode IX mentioned both Luke and Leia are going to be in the film.<br /><br />It does sound like she gets tortured and spends most of her time off screen recovering from her injuries though.<br /><br />http://makingstarwars.net/2016/03/a-laura-dern-star-wars-episode-viii-sequence-description/<br /><br />In one of the scenes shot in this stage, a rag-tag group of Resistance fighters have seen some battle. Cut and bruised, they and Poe Dameron are on this ship when Laura Dern, playing some sort of captain or officer. She tells the fighters that they are the last of the rebellion/resistance (I’m unclear on the exact phrasing of the line, so no capitalizing the Resistance) and that Princess Leia has been gravely injured and is receiving medical attention.<br /><br />I wonder if this has to do with Carrie not being quite up to doing action sequences and Laura Dern still being able to? I know Carrie had a lot of difficulty remembering her lines in TFA and I wonder if they've scaled back her role because she's been out of the acting game for so long. It'll be kind of sad to just see her in a hospital bed for most of Episode VIII though.Ewokkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890491490654088747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-3059475740629340392016-03-19T12:23:11.072-05:002016-03-19T12:23:11.072-05:00If the script says it weakens his connection to th...If the script says it weakens his connection to the Dark Side then why is one of the two writers of that script saying the act made him the worst Star Wars villain ever?

JJ is trying to introduce a sympathetic backstory of "it's not his fault, he came from a broken home and was manipulated by Snoke from a young age" and buy his eventual redemption. It also makes the legacy of Han and Leia not quite so dark, that the only thing they ended up producing was a monster. <br /><br />However, I am positive it is not going to end up the way the Reylos are hoping with Kylo and Rey skipping happily off into the sunset together to get married. Kylo will either pull a Vader and sacrifice himself to save the galaxy, redeeming himself at the last minute (hey, they copied ANH beat by beat in TFA, why not ROTJ), or he'll go into exile with probably Leia who's the only one who can forgive him. There's not going to be the complete white washing of his deeds that the Reylo fans are hoping for (Han deserved to die because he was an abusive husband and father who beat Leia and Ben and Kylo hates him because of this, Snoke was actually the one who committed the Jedi Massacre and he framed Ben, the villagers deserved to die because they were secretly terrorists....)Ewokkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890491490654088747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-78595707236819731212016-03-18T15:49:14.747-05:002016-03-18T15:49:14.747-05:00I don't know.

The ReyLo shippers may be very vocal, but comparing them to the moviegoing public, they're a very, very small (and kinda disturbing) group, and I don't think the general moviegoing public is going to buy a Kylo redemption arc very easily. JJ's stated reason for Kylo killing Han was something like "to make Kylo the worst Star Wars villain ever." Unlike Vader, who starts out Dark in the OT, we have someone making his final commitment to going completely dark in the first movie of three. If by the end of three, he's redeemed, that's a really rushed character arc and I'm not sure that anyone other than ReyLo shippers buys it - it's like squishing Anakin's arc into 3 films PLUS the character killed one of the most-loved Star Wars characters ever PLUS it's patricide. I don't think Kylo can be redeemed - I have a feeling we're going Jacen and Jaina, but with cousins instead of siblings, and Rey, a girl raised without a family, will have to decide if she can kill a family member (and will have to come to the opposite decision Luke did re Anakin). <br /><br />Kelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03289869686941780934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-86518459659620674602016-03-18T12:44:53.054-05:002016-03-18T12:44:53.054-05:00write Han as being sad that she went back to using... write Han as being sad that she went back to using her maiden name. And when giving justification, I have Leia saying that the Republic already has a General Solo- basically saying that she wants him to be there fighting along with her. Because I make stuff up to make myself happier about whatever Disney dishes out.<br /><br />Of course, if we were to go with Alderaani naming conventions (as they are currently understood) then he should have been the one to change his name. Technically, according to Alderaan, he's HRH Han Solo Organa, Prince Consort; which is *adorable*.<br /><br />And, holy wow the hoops Google in Germany is making me jump through to get this comment to post :DMandyQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397922468944930270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-37732608977861586642016-03-18T12:43:23.885-05:002016-03-18T12:43:23.885-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.MandyQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397922468944930270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-22957302822914510832016-03-17T12:05:36.316-05:002016-03-17T12:05:36.316-05:00Ah, good catch.

I can see how he would feel abandoned because of that (not that it means Han and Leia were bad parents).<br /><br />Yeah, the Reylo shippers have taken over EVERYWHERE, the JC, tumblr, twitter. I feel envious that you haven't been subjected to that obnoxious ship yet. I really hope Rey is Luke's kid now so the shippers can stop after Episode XIII. Most Reylo shippers were never SW fans until TFA and have no feelings for the OT so they have no problem seeing Han and Leia as the "villains" of the ST who forced Ben to turn to the Dark Side with their dysfunctional marriage and abusive parenting. In their mind Kyo is just a victim of abuse by Han and Leia who was raised in a broken home and can be turned good with the love of a good woman (Rey). Before, I was mostly laughing at the head canon they were sprouting, because the idea LFL would turn two beloved heroes into the villains of the ST by saying they made Ben go Dark? I couldn't see it in a million years. Unfortunately, it looks like JJ HAS decided to go down this idiotic path and throw Han and Leia under the bus for the sake of creating a "sympathetic villain". So basically JJ is saying that a kid dropped off at the age of 5 on a desert planet who raised herself in isolation is better being raised by Han and Leia. Wow, Han and Leia must REALLY awful *rolls eyes* <br /><br />My guess is that the ST is planning a redemption arc for Kylo similar to Anakin, so they're introducing this sympathetic backstory of a broken home, but geez you can do that without trashing Han and Leia's characters JJ. Anakin turned because of Palpatine's manipulations and it had nothing to do with Shmi not loving him enough. It's just sad that those of us who grew up on the OT and this love story are being sacrificed for the newer, shinier characters.Ewokkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890491490654088747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-6253817959987802712016-03-17T12:02:03.549-05:002016-03-17T12:02:03.549-05:00http://boards.theforce.net/threads/han-and-leia-in...http://boards.theforce.net/threads/han-and-leia-in-the-eu-a-discussion-thread.50038703/page-12Ewokkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890491490654088747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-73750300153945450502016-03-17T11:57:05.005-05:002016-03-17T11:57:05.005-05:00Do you have a link to the Bloodline excerpt?
