Star Wars: Episode VIII Plot Details Have Begun Leaking Out

Now before I get started, let me make it clear that these are all rumors, okay?  Remember how many of these things turned out wrong before The Force Awakens came out?  So take these all with a grain of salt, but in case they do turn out to be true...***POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!!!***  Still with me?  Then let's move forward!

Believe it or not, but all of the principle photography for the movie has already been completed, and John Williams is already working on putting his score to each of the scenes for the film...and this movie isn't supposed to be released until December 15, 2017!  It sounds like it's almost complete and we still have over a year before it's release!  Because it's near completion, we may be getting more and more information about the film through leaks from "people close to the project."  We've already seen this happen.  Earlier this year, someone post a photo that is said to be dialogue from the film and gave a little backstory to what had happened to Luke Skywalker.  Here's the photo:

Here's a summery of what it said, in case it's too small for you to read:

"In the scene Luke tells Rey that the Jedi Council became “arrogant” and that they were hiding a “secret,” which led to their demise. The old Jedi master takes Rey’s hand and shows her a glimpse into the past. They see two children playing near a tree on an alien planet. The boy noticed that he had greater strength and intuition when he was closer to this tree. The girl noticed that the tree also made her brother increasingly angry. One day an argument breaks out between the children, and the boy kills the girl. The boy touches the tree and is “transformed,”. He kills his parents and leaves the planet. Meanwhile the girl is revealed to be alive, transformed by the tree as well, using her power to start the first Jedi Order.
The girl explains how The Force can be used for both good and evil. She tells her followers that one day she would return as either a boy or a girl, and that they should train this child. Luke tells Rey that the Jedi Order had been searching for The One (reincarnation of the original founder of the Jedi) for a millennia. When they found Anakin Skywalker and thought that he would bring balance to The Force, the Jedi were “deceived” and the Clone Wars were the result. The scene also shows Rey’s parents, and Luke is not the father. Luke tells her how she was identified as strong with The Force, and how she was supposed to begin her training, but never reached her destination for an unknown reason. In the scene Luke gives Rey a choice, and she has till sunset to make it."


I talked about this a while ago, but now there's some new information that has come out.  From what I've been hearing there are going to a lot more Force visions in this film, and not just the one that's mentioned up above.  Kylo Ren's brothers, The Knights of Ren, will be playing a much larger role in Episode VIII, and we'll be treated to a scene that shows them killing all of the padawans that are training at the Jedi Temple, Okay, "treated" isn't the word that should be used, but you get the idea.  It evokes the memory of Anakin Skywalker doing the same thing to the Sandpeople in Attack of the Clones.  If the padawans are armed, this should make for an epic lightsaber battle!


So what have you heard about the movie?  Anything different than what I've been posting?  Let me know what you've heard and what your thoughts are on the upcoming film.  Just leave your comments in the section below, or you can email me at comconocave@gmail.com.
