Star Wars rumor

 keeping in mind that quite a lot of officially announced Disney Star Wars "plans" have failed to come to come to fruition:

"They have come up with the most designed by committee future of Star Wars imaginable. This is the result of market testing, egos tied to malinvestment and of course the malinvestments themselves.

Consequently, the new big Star Wars movie is going to star five characters.

Ready? Because Disney don’t care if you aren’t

A. Rey

B. R2-D2

C. Chewbacca

D. ?? (new character that will be introduced in the TV shows)

E. (You guessed this one already) Baby Yoda.

Bob Iger had to go with something. In fact, anything. He can’t shitcan Kathleen Kennedy, not with a big proxy fight coming up. He has to express confidence in her despite her disasterous record because he was the one that never fired her."

i will note that, of the 4 named characters, Rey is the only one who "speaks".  all the rest of them canonically both do NOT speak intelligible English AND never have any sub-titles.  the only way the viewer knew what they were saying was from context or listening to the response one of the verbal characters makes to them.

R2-D2 was always given context by C-3PO.

Chewbacca was always given context by Han.

Baby Yoda was always given context by Mando.

yes, all of these characters sometimes had others contextualize their verbalizations ( Luke quite often although Han and Leia and C-3PO also usually had no problem communicating with these non- English characters ), but R2, Chewie and BY have never been more than adjuncts to the actual characters in the movies.

from this, we can extrapolate some consequences.

1 - Rey is going to be the contextualizer for the B, C and E characters

2 - IF Disney stays with the theme 

THEN D may well be Geode.
