Wonder how jj will deal with wrapping up storylines of characters like chewie, the droids, etc. I imagine there will be something in this movie about it. Let's wait and see

but can you imagine the moment?

I guess the reason you don't do it is at the falcon (and chewie) don't have aging actors attached to them so they can always reappear when you return to this moment in history 10 years from now after RJ's new trilogy

But I also don't expect to see any known characters in Rian's new trilogy.

Yeah I think dime posted it somewhere already that they were talking about hundreds (or thousands?) of years in the past for this trilogy

Rumblings that Rians trilogy is going to be going way way back to the very origins of the Jedi. So even way before KOTOR.
Ahch to is confirmed to be the first Jedi temple so if it happens this way presumably loads more filming in Ireland.
This is cool.

Here's an idea. You know how we don't know Rey's real name? Or at least her last name (if her real first name is Rey)? Well, what if in Ep 9, she takes the last name Skywalker? Even better, what if either Leia or Force Ghost Luke are the ones that give it to her to have? I think that could be beautiful and meaningful in a profound way. AND it would shut everybody up about how this is "The Skywalker Saga!"

Also, how fucking pissed would Kylo Ren be if Rey took that name?

"That name, it belongs to me!"

In!

I've famously said that I don't get everyone's love for the Falcon. I said before TLJ came out that I really wanted that fucking thing destroyed in The Last Jedi.

Well... I take that back now too. That moment

Spoiler: show

during the battle of Crait, when we see the Falcon's shadow before we see the ship itself,
I did a full arm fist pump and my wife beamed over at me

.

I realized then and there how much that ship actually means to me. That was one of my favorite scenes in The Last Jedi.
