Episode link
Episode 8 was the last of the Star Wars films that I've watched. After seeing that one (and certainly by the time the ninth came out) I decided I would rather read the last instalment of Darths and Droids blind, without the lens of the original films. Do those metaphors mix properly? Probably not.
It turns out to have been a 6-7 year wait for the start of this film's treatment. Playing dodge-the-spoilers was a bit of fun, and I think I avoided all but one spoiler during that time.
So here we go then...
Happily, the spoiler I stumbled into is mentioned already in the title crawl, so that's fine.
Theories of Phanastacoria, eh? Sounds like we might get a resolution to this whole orb thing by the end of the film. Though it feels a bit odd to be making theories about it now, eight films later. I'll work under the theory that all will be revealed, eventually.
Perhaps rain, sleet, snow and hail can't delay the delivery of your First Order package, but it looks like a lightsaber-based rampage might slow things down a bit. I can't think why a Phantom Emperor* would choose to hide in a sorting office, er... planet, but that itself might be a good reason to actually hide there!
*Now I've got the parody song The Phantom Menace Senator in my head. I suppose there are worse songs to get stuck in there...
