    I'm not expecting much from the Solo movie but this one could be good, especially if they get Ewan for it.

    The real story now should be about Kylo Ren, Vaders grandson.

    I honestly am not excited about where their going with Rey, it takes the story away from the Skywalker line, unless she's the reincarnation of Vader..

    Which looks like a possibility

    I almost hope they mess up the Solo movie so they make this one 10 times better then what it has the potential to be. It is very unlikely they will get Ewan to play Obi.

    After canning the directors for adding too much comedy into the movie they may be able to make a decent movie out of it. It seems as though that happened pretty late into production so I'm still expecting to see several bits of forced humor like that in TFA. I agree though they could take the good and bad from the Solo movie and make this next one a great movie. Well I wrote them a letter asking them nicely to get Ewan so they probably will now.

    Possibly, the only real reference they make before he's introduced in ANH is Uncle Owen calling him a crazy old man.

    Maybe we'll get a two hour movie of him practicing his chip shot from the sand dunes.

    Obi Wans in hiding from Vader and the emperor, and supposed to be guarding Luke

    No point in him searching for the Emperor because he knows he can not kill Sideous, since he is not the chosen one. He also knows that he can not kill Vader because then there will be no chosen one to stop Sideous either...

    The story will probably be centered around his learning to communicate with Qui Gon, discovering that Anakin is alive and Darth Vader and realizing that Vader is in fact the chosen one and eventually revealing to the audience, Yoda and his belief that the only thing strong enough to bring Vader back from the dark side to defeat Sideous is his love as a father, Luke and or Lieh....

    Sorry I feel like I just spoiled the whole thing... Lol

    It is but it would be loads cooler if it wasn't Darth Maul

    He has a comic out now that is canon. He also appears in Star Wars Rebels, also canon.

    He literally had no lines. He's just bad for the sake of being bad.

    And then he died.

    He was awesome and poorly used

    ETA: Although I just googled and apparently he survived his injuries? But then he's just gone, so I thought it was a waste. Everyone was all hyped and then *kitten* all happened.

    He did not die. He actually lives and is in a bunch of the Star Wars TV shows, where Obi Wan finally kills him in Star Wars Rebels.

    I don't even get how you guys can like nerdy stuff like that. I mean, honestly...

    GET OUT OF MY SAFE SPACE

    Calm down. It's me we're talking about here, remember? C'mon, bring it in, let's hug it out, Counselor Troi. lol

    She was the worst actress on the whole show.

    I agree until Crusher walks on screen. Speaking of which did the two ever share dialogue?

    who do you think would win in a fight between General Grievous and Darth Maul?

    Grievous sucks. Worse use of four arms ever.

    Ummmm..... No, did you not see Star Wars Revenge of the Sith? Obi Wan and Yoda both know Vader is Anakin. In the comic and TV shows he is quite active. There is no telling what direction they want to go. He helps out a lot of locals as well as keeping an eye on Luke.

    At some point wasn't he the leader of the Deathwatch as well?(not sure if cannon) I'm really going to have to sit down one weekend and binge watch Star Wars Rebels.

    I don't think so, but I'm not positive. He had a better role in Clone Wars.

    I went back and found it, thought I'd remembered reading about it when I was on a Mandalorian kick. It was after he created the Shadow Collective but I don't think it was a very long leadership role before he was captured by Darth Sidious.

    Okay so they find out what Darth Vader becomes, they don't actually see him as machine yet

    Is this the comic series that you're talking about cee? I haven't read any of the comics in years and I honestly don't know what's cannon and what's not now that Disney is the owner.
