Rumors and leaks about "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," the eighth film of the Skywalker saga, keep popping up every week. The latest ones involve two main characters, a droid, and the mysterious First Order leader.
According to Comic Book, Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) and his droid companion BB-8 will not be together for the most part of the film. This is because leaks have revealed that the droid will accompany Finn (John Boyega) on his mission to infiltrate the First Order. However, not having BB-8 does not mean that Poe will not have any droid by his side. It is said that there are BB units in the Resistance as well, but they are not as polished as the First Order BB units and do not have the kind of personality that BB-8 has.
Another leak that has surfaced lately is about Supreme Leader Snoke. He is one of the biggest mysteries in "The Force Awakens," and since his appearance, there have been a lot of speculations going around about the character. In the next film of the saga, he is said to sport a new costume. According to Making Star Wars, the dark robes he wears in the previous film will be gone as he will now be sporting a "gold silky robe with a very ornate pattern on it." He will also be wearing a ring on his left hand and a pair of so-called "genie slippers." This new look has been hinted in the book, "The Art of Star Wars: The Force Awakens."
Meanwhile, a podcast leaked that the much-awaited reunion of the Skywalker siblings, Luke (Mark Hamill) and Leia (Carrie Fisher), will not be happening in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," much to the dismay of fans. Luke is rumored to meet Chewbacca and R2-D2 again, but not his sister. This could be because of Fisher's passing in December 2016. "Luke's journey in this film is kind of an emotional film," the recording states, as reported on Daily Express. "It would have been nice to see Han Solo and Luke Skywalker and Leia altogether again."
"Star Wars: The Last Jedi" hits theaters on Dec. 15. The first trailer for the highly anticipated film is expected to be unveiled at the Star Wars Celebration this week.
