Star Wars gonna make plenty money when it drops. With fans of the original movies, and with a lot of people being so damn trendy nowadays plus the marketing before it drops will be crazy.

@Sion he's one of the main characters of the new trilogy he won't die anytime soon. Expect one of the og cast members to go though and honestly my bet is on Han biting it.

I hope you right fam :(

Iuno bout Han my bet would be on Luke so they can pass the torch to a new generation of jedi.

Aye watch when that movie drops, shits gonna CRUSH the box office, I wonder if it'll beat Avatar or more recently Jurassic World or Fast & Furious 7 opening weekends. I dont think anyone expected FF7 to do those numbers sheesh...

Star Wars is definitely dropping a billie but I'm wondering will it count for 2015 or 2016 since it'll only be December for a little bit.
 
Benicio del Toro Confirms ‘Star Wars: Episode VIII’ Villain Role, Reveals When Shooting Be

Not too long ago, Benicio del Toro confirmed rumors that he was taking a role in the next chapter of the new Star Wars trilogy. In addition, reports have indicated that he will have some kind of villain role, though Disney and Lucasfilm haven’t confirmed anything.

However, del Toro seems to have been given permission to talk about the film as he has just seemingly confirmed the villain part of the equation while also revealing when Star Wars Episode 8 shooting actually begins.

Speaking with a Spanish outlet at Rac1.org, del Toro was asked what he has coming up on his schedule, and he again confirmed that he has a role in the movie, but added a bit of new information:

“Star Wars is coming up, we will see how that turns out. I think we start shooting in March.”

The reporter followed up by asking what his role would be, hoping for something juicy, but instead del Toro merely said:

“Ehhh, the thing is, they don’t let me talk too much about it. I’m like the villain. But we’ll see.”

StarWars7News notes that the reader who pointed to this interview and translated it to English notes that del Toro’s language indicates uncertainty about his role as the villain. The phrase he uses in the interview is “es como el villano” which translates to ““he is like the villain.” So what does that mean?

Well, it could mean that del Toro is playing a bad guy, but maybe not the primary antagonist. Or perhaps he’s playing somebody who creates some trouble for our heroes in Episode 8, but his allegiance isn’t with The First Order, like a bounty hire who is only doing what he is being paid to do. Less likely is that he’s playing the villain who isn’t really a villain, because there’s no way that del Toro would be authorized to give that away so nonchalantly and so far in advance.

Just the thought of del Toro as the villain in a Star Wars movie is exciting. He brings such gravitas to the smallest roles, such as his bit part as The Collector in Guardians of the Galaxy, that make his characters feel worn and authentic. I can’t wait to see what kind of character he’s playing in the Star Wars universe.

With production beginning in March, it remains to be seen just how soon we’ll start hearing more details on the production, but it sounds like the cast is being lined up right now with a shortlist of actresses being considered for a new female lead in Episode 8. Will the lid be kept tight on the sequel just like The Force Awakens, or will director Rian Johnson be a little more forthcoming with details than J.J. Abrams? We’ll find out soon enough.

Thought I've had:

If Yoda, Obi-Wan and Good Anakin can come back as force ghosts, what's stopping the Emperor from coming back as a force ghost and training people in the ways of the dark side?

Takes special master skills to access Jedi spirits.
 
The Sith Lords used holocrons in order to reach the next generation if they were killed and in many ways the holocrons could reach across time if I remember correctly

The main chick looks like a mix of those other white devils Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman

Which is crazy coz both were in the phantom menace.

I can't even tell the difference between those two chicks. They might as well be the same person.
