JJ is has already begun to make Star Wars great again.

Casting news:

quote:

Keri Russell is headed to a galaxy far, far away.

Sources tell Variety that the “Felicity” alum is in early talks to join J.J. Abrams’ “Star Wars: Episode IX,” which Abrams is writing and directing. Russell and Abrams last collaborated on 2006’s “Mission: Impossible III.”


quote:

The role calls for action-heavy fight scenes. Russell has shown her ability to perform tough stunts in projects like FX’s “The Americans,” “Mission: Impossible,” and “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.”

I’m gonna enjoy TLJ melt when she turns out to be Mara Jade and/or Rey’s mom.

She'll be the feminist hero we deserve and this entire board will implode.

I really feel badly for him for having to follow TLJ. If he's able to save the series it will be amazing.

ETA: Haven't decided if I'll see this in theaters.

She’s a bit young for it, but bears some resemblance to Daisy Ridley so I could definitely see the latter

She'll be the orphaned, male-to-female transgender son/daughter of Vice Admiral Holdo who's here to help Poe come to terms with his latent homosexuality.

She'll be a member of the rebellion from all outward appearances; but in reality she will be a sleeper cell for the first order

..It's revealed that Luke disappeared because of thanos.

Episode 9 merges and sets up 10 as the coming of darkseid takes hold.

She's 42 years old. I'd say that's old enough to be the mom of a teenager.

Fwiw--Keri Russell

Been saying this since I processed the hot garbage that was TLJ. It’s really the best way to avoid cramming too much in one film. Unless JJ has an ace up sleeve to negate what happened in TLJ.
