Well it certainly isn't as stupid... But he didn't die in the old EU and I highly doubt he stays dead now. They got like 30 years of gaps they can fill now between ROTJ and TFA since the legends stuff doesn't really fit into the sequels and I'm pretty sure Boba will have a part in it. In fact a Boba Fett spinoff is still very possible Not saying Boba died (although I believe that was originally the intention) but it's really equally stupid, if not stupider... I mean Boba Fett was a professional bounty hunter, Jar Jar just destroyed some battle droids. Jar Jar destroying Battle Droids doesn't even come close to sheer stupidity of Ewoks killing Stormtroopers. |

A sculpting model of Snoke's final (or at least really close to final) design leaked out today. I won't post it here for people who don't want to be spoiled, but you should be able to find it. It's... interesting. A bit too similar to the Emperor IMO. I would have preferred the snake look. Well, I am probably not going to look at it this close to the actual movie's release. But he can't look too similar to Palpatine, right? They said he would have a very unique bonestructure and a really thin face which required CGI. |

It's fairly similar... although I think it's just a clay model, so the completely finalized look might be a bit different. While we're on the subject of leaks, so much of the movie has leaked over the past few days (pages from the books and visual dictionaries have been posted online even though they aren't due out until after the 18th). By the time the film's out just about every minute detail will have been spoiled.  I'm going to try my best to avoid it all for this last stretch of time since we're so close. |

Yeah, I still accidentally stumbled upon the Snoke pictures... I can see why he requires CGI. There is another leaked image from a Spanish magazine going around the internet though: {Spoiler}  It looks less reliable than the sculpture though. Technically both could be correct to some extend... he could be a damage Muun. I mean he is supposed to be very tall so I assume he won't be human. But if he is a Muun he would have to be Plagueis... |

Based on the new info on Snoke people think he is the Inquisitor (pls no) or Tarkin (That would just be ridiculous). And the Plagueis theory still holds true according to some (Snoke's face looks the way it does because of Palpatine's assassination attempt, and he doesn't have to be a Muun because that's no longer canon).
Either way, I feel like Snoke should be an established character. It would be wasted potential if Snoke was just some new character we never heard about before... I'm still hoping the Plagueis theory is true for several reasons:
1. It would immediately establish a threat. Plagueis was Palpatine's master. We heard his story in episode 3, about how he could bring people back from the dead... that would mean as soon as we learn Snoke is Plagueis there would be a threat far greater than Palpatine. If Snoke is a new character we would probably not immediately feel like he is more threatening than Vader or Palpatine.
2. It would fit into the greater story. Plagueis is mentioned as some sort of legend in the prequels, it would be awesome foreshadowing for Plagueis's actual appearance in the sequels. You know, little details that connect movies like that are just cool. Plagueis could connect the three trilogies like no other (living) character could.
3. Snoke is a mysterious character. It would be interesting if we slowly learned his identity through the sequel trilogy. That would allow for so much suspense...
Still not saying I believe this theory, I just really want it to be true.

Something interesting I want to share you with, I came across some interesting proof for Palpatine being alive (came across it on Reddit). Apparently Disney recently released a book called Aftermath, which is supposed to be part of a trilogy leading up to TFA so it's part of the new canon. It takes place just after the Battle of Endor. The official audiobook for it gives some interesting clues about Palpatine.
I found the audiobook online to check if the hints actually existed, and they did. I compiled the interesting fragments in a video:
The first fragment is the introduction to the book, it clearly emphasizes the word "Rumored" when talking about Palpatine being dead.
The second fragment is, supposedly, about a Grand Moff trying to seize a Star Destroyer from and Admiral, to which this admiral replies that she is not in charge of the star Destroyer. And then she says "He is not dead" and the Emperor's theme starts playing.
The last fragment is the epilogue, a conversation between this mysterious leader that "is not dead" and the admiral... pay attention to the voice. Also, the mysterious character whistles an old republic song called "Sestina of Imperator Vex". Imperator literally means emperor...
I don't think this will directly tie into the new trilogy... but it is still interesting.

Much rather that then a Han one, I just can't see Han without it being Harrison Ford however Boba is likely to appear in the Han spinoff I'd say. They're in a way rivals. I wonder if they would change Boba's origin though to a biological son of Jango instead of a clone, I wouldn't actually have a problem with that. |

I don't mind a Boba one cause that means potential otehr bounty hunters like IG88 Aurra, Bossk, Zuck, etc. But Han Solo's one just seems stupid.

Jango has that whole back story on Mandalore which would be epic to see on the big screen.

I've come to the conclusion that George Lucas is the main reason why PT isn't good and why it isn't like OT. He's good at creating worlds and characters but not storytelling. And he didn't even write or direct Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi. It probably isn't even new news but I was rewatching the prequels and yeah theres a lot of flaws, but that is because no one told George Lucas no because Lucas would fire them.

Also certain franchises like Spider-Man have had tons of reboots and stuff so changing a couple details isn't a problem |

It probably isn't even new news but I was rewatching the prequels and yeah theres a lot of flaws, but that is because no one told George Lucas no because Lucas would fire them. This is what I was trying to get at George Lucas didn't have complete control over the originals, he actually got opinions from others and the story and everything was made up by lots of people and not just one guy. After he had control though he later started messing with a perfectly good thing in his "special editions". GL can be given credit for providing the initial spark that created Star Wars but I find it stupid that he is given credit for everything and it's entirely "his story". GL didn't have control over TCW either but some you know some of the more questionable stuff does relate back to him... |

I didn't say they reboot everything I'm saying they can change a minor detail if they where to ever make a Boba spinoff which I think they will and they will probably change his origin a bit. Literally it only conflicts with one line in AOTC and TCW well I don't think that matters much... Most of the people going to watch a Boba Fett spinoff movie probably doesn't watch or care for TCW |

I honestly don't think anyone would care that much especially since Boba came before clones or Jango Fett being made. I bet he wouldn't have been liked nearly as much if the prequels came first and everyone saw him as a kid and a clone. I'd say it's quite likely they would change a bit maybe even a lot of the stuff in TCW, not that he does much. It's possible that's why they won't release the bounty hunter arc |

Actually it's arguable Boba did more in the actual movies... Boba tracked the Falcon in the film which led to the capture of Han and bait for Luke. Jango being the clone template is mentioned off screen on how that happened, he didn't actually do anything in AOTC. Rouge One?? Why would Bane be in that? Boba film is probably the next spinoff after Han however I guess Yoda is possible but I don't think anyone wants to touch on his story yet |

I think it would be more likely be some of the less known hunters maybe IG-88, Dengar and Bossk. Maybe Bane but probably not Boba... Idk Boba though would instantly increase popularity |

I'm going to try my best to avoid it all for this last stretch of time since we're so close.
it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
