It was one of the major issues which ignited a furious fan reaction and took Disney, Lucasfilm and the industry by surprise. Nobody expecetd a major part of the core fanbase to rebel after The Last Jedi. But after two years of expectaton building for the revelation of Rey's parents, Kylo Ren told her they were nobodies, junk traders who sold her for drinking money. Rian Johnson's filmmaking choices left many disappointed and, even worse, feeling played. While filming The Force Awakens, Daisy Ridley herself had said she thought the answer was obvious. Surely Episode 8's revelation wasn't what she meant? Now that JJ Abrams is back, can the director somehow salvage the situation in Episode 9? The final Star Wars trilogy was conceived for three autonomous directors who each had complete freedom to shape each of their episodes. While this means Johnson could take storylines set up in the previous movie and pursue his own vision, it also mean Abrams could conceivably somehow restore his original ideas. For example, whatever he may (or may not) have planned differently for Rey's parents. New leaked reports about early concept art for Episode 9 include a scene which might do just that. Star Wars 9: Could Luke still be Rey's father? Express Online's Stefan Kyriazis on Solo: A Star Wars Story The leak says: “One concept art image consists of a young girl on a sandy planet which could be Jakku. "In front of the girl, likely to be Rey, are two silhouette figures in front of a sunset with a ship next to them. One is a female one is male. They look like they are adults.” This ties in with other reports about casting and locations being used for the shoot. Jordan has been reported as a potential filming location for Episode 9 and was the original location for Jakku in The Force Awakens, although in the end Abu Dhabi was used.

Not only does Episode IX need to bring the entire Skywalker saga to a close, it also needs to somehow restore more than balance to the Force. It also needs to restore balance and harmony to a fractured fan base, with a vocal group still unhappy about The Last Jedi. So, is it a good sign that Star wars sites are reporting that director Abrams has been rewriting parts of the movie? Apparently he has been focussing on two iconic characters. The speculation increased after the first official pictures of Oscar Isaacs, John Boyega and Joonas Suotamo were just released. More than a hundred differenct shots were released and Express Online has these new Star Wars 9 photographs HERE, but unusually, JJ Abrams is not seen anywhere. Is he busy rewriting the script or overseeing other scenes at the Pinewood and Cardington Sheds sets? Star Wars News Net has the following to say about these rumoured rewrites. Star Wars 9 script rewrites The site said: "A reliable source has informed us that Joonas Suotamo, the actor who plays Chewbacca, had to recently cancel his appearance at Rose City Comic Con in September due to Episode IX rewrites. "Something changed between June 15th and August 8th that caused the actor to have to cancel his commitment due to these rewrites "I believe once the addition of Billy Dee Williams became official, a new scene or scenes between Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian were added to the Episode IX script. Both actors cancelled appearances at these ‘Con’ events during the same weeks in September." Star Wars 9 script rewrites for Joonas Suotamo's Chewbacca Star Wars 9 script rewrites for Billy Dee Williams Fans are always happy to have more Chewbacca and it sounds like the Wookiee will be taking a more dramatic role following his expanded presence in the Solo movie. Star Wars News Net added: "The source also provided some very surprising information about Chewbacca in regards to Episode IX. It turns out Joonas Suotamo actually filmed a lot of Chewbacca’s scenes for Episode IX toward the end of production on Solo: A Star Wars Story. "This was pretty surprising to hear, and would mean the actor filmed scenes before the final draft of the script was completed." Star Wars 9 script rewrites for more Chewbacca scenes<doc-sep>
Star Wars 9 set photographs leak Episode IX has officially started filming and the early shoots all seem to be based in the UK. Pinewood studios has been the long time home for the Star Wars franchise and this time is no different. Early leaks suggested that the RAF Cardington Sheds were being used, with tantalising hints of scenes between Finn, Poe, Rose and the Hutts (Jabba's son, no less). Now an eagle-eyed fan has posted photographs taken at Black Park which show one very familiar Star Wars icon and suggest how the movie may end. MakingStarWars.Net published the images which were taken at Black Park. The six hudred-acre woodland next to Pinewood is densely forested and looks rather like a very famous moon featured at the end of Return of The Jedi. Are the Ewoks and Endor seriously making a return? It's not just what is shown in these new photos that suggests this. JJ Abrams has been very clear about wanting to incorporate as many themes and references to the original and prequel trilogies and his Force Awakens was undeniably a retread of A New Hope. STAR WARS 9 LEAKS: IS THIS THE EMOTIONAL END SCENE? HUGE RETURN OF THE JEDI LINK Express Online's Stefan Kyriazis on Solo: A Star Wars Story Star wars 9 set photographs leak: Are the Ewoks back? The pictures show the unmistakable side of the Millennium Facon peeking through the trees. MakingStarWars.Net adds: "It confirms the 'jungle/forest' sets we’ve heard rumors about at Pinewood Studios." Reports of concept art have also highlighted a lush and green planet with a castle beside a lake. This sounds rather similar to Maz Kanata's old base, but that was destroyed and the popular character is expected to return this time in space, in what is being described as a 'pirate spacehip'. Many reactions have immediately suggested it could be Endor. However, Episode IX is already reported to be introducing the most new characters and planets ever in a Star Wars movie, so it is more likely this is a new location.
