Laura Dern and Benicio Del Toro cast in Episode 8.

‘Star Wars: Episode VIII’: Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern Join Cast

What is BDT, a single studio contract player now? Anyway, they say he's been cast as a villain, hopefully not playing The Collector. ;)

As for Laura Dern, she doesn't feel like someone I'd expect to meet in the Star Wars Universe, maybe she's just a voice.

We're we supposed to be surprised or something?

Or she's playing Lukes wife in flashbacks.

Well, ****, I'm excited............

What did you expect: the return of Darth maul in a 34 second promo?

I'm was just joking. Look at my avatar. I'd say I'm excited as well:)

Ungrateful wretches.

Word is that this will break tradition by having the movie start immediately after the events of 7.

The video posted above certainly suggests that.

Dern as Luke's wife works for me. Del Toro as a grown up Ezra would be a great tie-in to Rebels. I think the Tran casting is likely a mocap character.

So it'll go like

luke- Who the **** are you and what are you doing on my island?

rey- O um I came to give you back your lightsaber

Luke-Thats not my lightsaber.

Rey- What? But that old crusty alien women specifically said it was yours.

Luke- So you think just because im a jedi and some old lady you don't know tells you it's mine that makes it mine?

REy- well... yea. I had a major trippy flashback and everything

Luke- Well your wrong, now get the **** off my island

roll credits. Reboot announced within two weeks.

I like both those ideas, especially Del Toro as an adult Ezra.

Rumour round-up:
So Rey is Luke's daughter. He thought Kylo killed her with knights of Ren, but actually he saved her from another knight, killing one of his own and then hiding her on Jakku (vision in TFA). Jakku had a secret Imperial underground bunker, full of stuff the Emperor had stolen from the galaxy (a la the Nazi's). That's why the battle took place there, why he knew it. (This is confirmed in one of the official books) Perhaps there are sith artifacts buried there.
When the knights of Ren (a group of students who formed their own little Oxford like gang who researched the sith) burned the Jedi temple to the ground, Luke was overcome by pain and anguish, he went into hiding, knowing that Solo and Leia's son had killed his daughter (and possibly wife). He couldn't face seeing either han or Leia again, which explains their situations and reactions in TFA. And finally according to the leaked TFA screenplay, Luke knew exactly who rey was and what she was doing by the end of TFA. He had sensed her awakening I guess on the Starkiller base and realised his daughter was alive. Snoke had told Ren that he had to kill his family in order to proceed with his training. Vader's only mistake was his emotional attachment to his loved ones. Ren knew this was already an issue as he had hid Rey from danger and potentially allowing a force strong jedi to flourish and eventually come back to kill them both. This is real greek mythology stuff, where you don't kill your adversary, you leave them on an island so they can come back for revenge many years later. :)
There will be against snow battle (mirroring TESB) which is why JJ cut the snow chase scenes from TFA.

Snoke isn't a sith as stated, he is a force consuming entity who is returning from the netherworld by consuming the living energy of the galaxy, dark or light. Ren doesn't know this, he thinks he is helping an ancient sith return. (confirmed in parts by the novelisation which describes his face as being in the process of recreation, restructuring). It seems to be playing into that old cliche about a gang of students playing with a Ouija and resurrecting a demon, a spirit which lies to them telling them it is something else.

this entity may or may not be Plagueis, but he has been around for a long time, he watched the clone wars unfold and watched Vader and the Emperor rise to power.

...anything else?

That's very interesting. Was it stated anywhere what the age difference between Rey and Ren is?
