The World between worlds and the Whills.
There’s a reason why Hayden has been at the last two Celebrations.
Snoke does have a true identity, but no one has guessed it.
Kylo is not the villain of the story.
The main villain is connected to the SW lore. Hint: They are beyond Sith and Jedi.
Rey’s biological age is not her true age. Her real name is not Rey.
Luke has a fight scene, in the flesh, which is a scrapped concept from ROTJ with Obi-Wan.
Chewie dies.
Nothing is retconned. Contractually disney cannot touch the first six films; they can make us view the old films in a different way though.
Rey’s “fall” is somewhat of a misnomer.
The villain has a very specific vendetta against the Skywalker lineage.
Rey’s parentage is central to the story. She is not “nobody.”
Alec Guiness.
Matt Smith’s role is significant yet he’s still not listed. His identity is top secret.
The alleged “flash fights” are not what you think they are or as they have been described.
It will be the longest Star Wars film.

The Son is the villain. This will be explained by way of the ancient texts. They’re essentially being used as a narrative and plot device. Matt Smith plays The Son.
A toddler girl was cast. We already knew this. A toddler boy was also cast. Presumably, this is from a flashback of Ben and Rey as children.
This doesn’t necessarily fit the canon, but JJ and the story group do not care for one another and he ignores them, so, it may just be a retcon. No idea how it fits but two toddlers, boy and girl, same age, were cast.
The Whills are important. They exist outside of time. They are the living Force, the will of the Force, and have shaped everything that has happened in the entire saga. The plane of existence they exist in is the world between worlds where they communicate with the force and observe the happenings of the Universe.
The Son can take the form of anyone and is the ultimate tempter. This is key.
Lucas did not write the script by any means but had a significant role in molding the scenario for key sequences in the film. Filoni, at D23 Expo, as noted, also refused to say if any TCW characters will appear in live-action films.
Hayden has filmed scenes. They may be using a re-created Alec Guinness like they did Tarkin in RO.
Rey and Ben are twins. She was frozen in some manner, didn’t age, hence the biological age difference.
Kira, which is a name from Lucas’ drafts for the ST of Luke’s apprentice, is Rey’s birth name.
Rey’s turn is “complicated” and isn’t a simple turn to the Dark Side. It’s a bit of a misnomer, again.
The last shot of the film is Rey on Tatooine at the Lar’s Homestead, reflecting on her journey with a Binary Sunrise mirroring ROTS, hence “rise” of Skywalker. Stanzas in a poem. Though this was the original concept, it could have been changed. The intent was the Saga ends where it began.

The heroes in the film are on a quest to find an ancient Sith Dagger, which is actually The Dagger of Mortis. What it is called this in the film is unknown. The Dagger is the key to freeing an ancient evil and has an inscription that pre-dates any language known in the Galaxy. This evil is The Son, played by Matt Smith. It is unknown whether he is called The Son. This was Lucas’ original plan in his treatment for the Sequel Trilogy and are direct references to The Clone Wars. It will be made accessible to the general audience.
C-3P0 attempts to read an inscription on the Dagger but cannot read it due to his programming. A major aspect of the early part of the film is attempting to decipher the text. 3P0’s eyes turn red and it takes them to the Second Death Star on Endor and a device of The Emperor’s. This device, with the dagger as its key, opens a portal to what is The World Between Worlds from Star Wars Rebels, where The Son is trapped, waiting to be released. We have been told that Snoke was actually a projection of The Son, but this has not been corroborated so we do not know if this is true. The World Between Worlds will be made accessible to the general audience and may be called something else.
The Jedi texts are what directed Rey to the ancient evil, The Son. The Jedi had vague records on Mordis and The Father, The Son, and The Daughter in the Jedi Temple independent of the first Jedi texts from Ahch-to.
Rey is Han and Leia’s daughter and Ben/Kylo’s sister.
Rey is given Han’s audio diary. Harrison Ford recorded dialogue.
Kylo and Rey independently find their way to the Death Star. Kylo shows Rey his vision of her parents. The true twist though is that her “parents” aren’t truly her parents. She was given away in order to protect her, and her adoptive parents were murdered by the Dagger.
During their “Force Bond”, Rey has a vision of herself as a Sith. Rey and Kylo fight on the ruins of the Death Star. This could be where the Flash Fight begins, the twist being Rey and Kylo are actually traveling through both space and time. Nothing is changed, they do not interact with past events, but events from the prequels and the original trilogy are seen in the background.
The Son is freed with the Dagger of Mortis, the one thing that can destroy him. He’s been pulling all the strings and everything has led to this moment. The First Order, Snoke, Ben’s fall, Luke’s exile…everything.
He takes on the form of Palpatine and Rey, among others. Dark Rey is not actually Rey, but The Son. Rey’s vision of her Sith self was in fact a vision of The Son in the future taking on her form.
Rey, Kylo, and even the force ghosts join to defeat The Son.
The final shot of the film, the Skywalker Saga, is of the Binary Suns of Tatooine.
