  1. THE (INCOMPLETE) PLOT

WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ IS AN INCOMPLETE PLOT SUMMARY.

We’re still missing many important elements of the movie.

Some of this might also be inaccurate and contradictory.

All of what you’re about to read has been organized in a speculated chronological order (now mainly composed of JediPaxis’s plot leak and act breakdowns) It might still not unfold in the same order in the actual movie. Remember that some of this will probably not be in the movie - we don’t know if this is legit. Please remember that, as we don’t know everything about the movie, some things can seem weird out of context, and not everything is in this summary. Enjoy !

Most of what you’re about to read in this section is using leaks from JediPaxis’s source, MSW and BespinBulletin. You can find sources for each individual leak in the “Organized Tidbits” and the “Leak Archive and Source” sections.

ACT I

  • The film begins with a shot of a control tower rising from the ground of the planet Exogol. The control tower begins transmitting a signal. Some rumbling below the surface of the planet begins, as the Star Destroyers of the “Sith Fleet” break through the dark, rocky surface of the planet and rise into the air.

  • Supreme Leader Kylo Ren has been aware of a dark power behind his predecessor and former master, Snoke. Kylo has been spending his time as leader of the First Order with the purpose of locating this power, finding the mysteries of what Snoke left behind.. Generals Hux and Pryde have been following Kylo around on his quest and are beginning to get very frustrated with what they see as a fool’s errand. They see this as a waste of First Order time and resources. When we catch up with the villains of our story, Kylo is leading an assault on a planet with the purpose of finding Darth Vader’s wayfinder device. The device reveals coordinates within the Unknown Regions and Kylo is confident that this will reveal the source of Snoke’s power. Kylo Ren slaughters his way through the natives. Kylo walks toward a castle/tower and finds the wayfinder in a chest. Prior to getting the wayfinder Kylo has “PTSD flashbacks to Luke and Han”. Kylo then hears Palpatine's voice calling Kylo to come to him.
  • Meanwhile, on Ajan Kloss, Leia has picked up where her brother left off and has been helping Rey learn the ways of the Jedi. Rey is first seen doing some meditative/ “mental” Force training, but is struggling with it. In frustration, she asks Leia if she can do a physical training course instead. It appears that Rey has more physical fortitude than she has mental strength, but she also has a lot of anger in her. In her anger she cuts down a tree which falls on BB-8 and damages him. After her training she tries to communicate with Luke, asking him to appear to her but nothing happens. Rey gives her lightsaber to Leia feeling that she is undeserving of it.

  • Kylo Ren and his Knights are at a castle owned by an “ape man” who agrees to help Kylo Ren fix his mask and and to activate the wayfinder. First they must “reforge” the mask and then they’ll be ready to continue on their quest. There was ash involved outside which means it could be Mustafar. Kylo’s mask is reforged. The Knights of Ren stalk around the work being done.

  • Kylo travels to the place specified by the wayfinder. It takes him to the Unknown Regions and a dead planet of flat, black rock named Exogol. He lands outside a giant cube, floating just above the ground and begins walking toward it. He walks between the cube and the ground and once he reaches the center he discovers an elevator leading down below the planet's surface. He follows the lift down. He sees these "little people" called the relics, in barrels and vats, and when he looks in the vats/barrels and he sees Snoke. These are all clones of Snoke, hinting that Palpatine has been a puppet master the whole time. As Kylo descends, he passes by giant statues and finds an old man near death and lying in bed and being tended to by cloaked aids. The old man identifies himself as Darth Sidious. Kylo threatens Palpatine with his lightsaber after making his way over to him.

  • Palpatine does not refute that he died on the Death Star when challenged, but responds in a “yet here I am” sort of way. The scene goes on to have Palpatine mocking Kylo’s “let the past die” mindset and talks about how the past is the key to the future. After his defeat at Endor, he left the known galaxy and traveled to the Unknown Regions to rebuild his Empire. Palpatine orders Kylo to bring Rey to him. Palpatine also reveals that he has been amassing an armada of Star Destroyers equipped with Death Star tech, each one capable of destroying a planet on its own. Generals Hux and Pryde are tasked with rounding up children in large numbers to train and staff his armada. Palpatine speaks of the Sith Fleet being years in the making and the Empire needing a leader to rule it. Palpatine also apparently talks to Kylo about Rey’s lineage during this conversation.

  • We pick up with Finn and Poe on the Millennium Falcon, accompanied by a handfull of unfamiliar alien characters traveling to an icy asteroid base to meet with a First Order informant.

  • This informant, an alien, is acting as a middle man between a First Order mole and our heroes. This contact’s name is Boolio. Finn and Poe play holochess with Chewie on the Falcon. Boolio gives them some sort of data encoder with information on it. The First Order arrives and begins attacking the base. The assault causes forces our heroes to make a hasty exit by “lightskipping” away. A lightspeed skip involves making the jump to light speed without plotting a course or a predetermined destination. The Falcon makes a hand full of these springs skips to throw the First Order off their trail, but as a result they are forced to deal with the consequences of such a risky maneuver. After surviving the dangers of light springing, our heroes plot a course to the secret Resistance jungle base on Ajan Kloss. Finn and Poe return to the Resistance base bearing the knowledge obtained from their encounter with the First Order informant. Rey yells at Poe for damaging the Falcon while lightspeed skipping and Poe yells at Rey for damaging BB-8.

  • The Resistance reviews the information gleaned from the data encoder and they find out about the Sith Fleet and Palpatine’s return. Cloning is once again discussed as a possibility, but it’s notconfirmed or denied here either. Snoke is apparently dismissed as a pawn working for Palpatine ash he plotted his way back to power from the Unknown Regions. Finn apparently voices concerns over the children that will need to be kidnapped as he was in order to staff a fleet of this scale. Leia mentions that she has a contact who was seeking a link to the Unknown Regions long ago and may be willing to help.

  • High ranking First Order officers are gathered in a room. Hux and Pryde are among them. Boolio’s head is apparently thrown onto a table. Kylo states to the room that he knows that there is a spy within the First Order. Kylo seems to be ok with this because it will draw Rey out of hiding. One officer suggests that the Sith Fleet cannot be trusted and this officer is subsequently choked, shoved into the ceiling and dropped to the floor by Kylo.
  • Leia dispatches Poe and Finn along with Rey, Chewbacca, BB-8 and C-3PO to Passana. Leia’s last words to Rey are “tell me when you get back”. When our heroes arrive on the planet, they discover that a giant festival is going on. What they thought would be an easy mission has now turned into a much more complicated affair.

  • They attempt to lay low and to blend in. Unsurprisingly, Chewbacca struggles with blending in because it’s very difficult to hide a 7 foot tall wookiee from prying eyes. Rey encounters a child in the crowds who takes a liking to her, presenting her with a handmade necklace as a gift. She is asked her name and she responds “Rey”. When asked her family name, she replies that she does not have one. At that moment, Kylo establishes a connection with Rey through their bond. He antagonizes her about her parents leaving her and selling her. Tells her she feels all alone and there is nobody who understands her except him. Their conversation ends with Kylo grabbing the necklace from around Rey’s neck. Kylo analyzes the necklace on his Star Destroyer and finds out where it’s from.

  • Rey travels through the crowds to warn her friends of the First Order’s knowledge of where she is when First Order stormtroopers show up and “ambush” them. They are saved by someone in the crowd who escorts them to a safe area. It’s Lando Calrissian. Greetings and introductions are exchanged Lando tells them of a dagger that may help them find what they seek. Many years prior, Lando and Luke went in search of a Sith loyalist named Ochie. Luke and Lando’s quest was for Sith relics and Ochie. The dagger wasn’t part of their search and it doesn’t come into play until later. Lando tells of how he and Luke had been searching the galaxy for Sith artifacts and spent some time tracking Ochie due to his knowledge on the wayfinders. They eventually track him to Pasaana and find his ship but no Ochie. They tracked Ochie to Passana when the trail went cold. When met with the question of why he never left the planet after the search for Ochie ended, Lando tells the team that he had a young child at the time of his and Luke’s quest. While they were out searching for Ochie, the First Order stole his child. After having failed to protect his child from the First Order, Lando and Luke parted ways and he stayed on Paasana ever since. Apparently Lando believes that the First Order had a goal of turning the children of the heroes of the Rebellion into their own enemies as a form of revenge.

  • This story strikes a chord with Finn having been stolen from his own family at an incredibly young age as well. The sound of First Order TIEs can be heard and apparently Lando is the one to deliver the “I have a bad feeling about this” line in TROS. Lando points them in the direction of the last known coordinates of Ochie’s ship, where the trail went cold all those years ago, wishes them luck in succeeding where he failed all those years ago but decides to sit this one out. Our heroes follow the trail that Lando pointed out to them by fleeing the area on speeders. They are chased into the desert by the First Order with the Knights of Ren further behind them who arrive on Pasaana. It is as this point that the Falcon is located and detained by the First Order. The speeder chase ends with the First Order troopers getting killed. and eventually they happen upon Ochie’s ship. When Rey sees the ship, it triggers some memories. It’s the same ship that we see leaving Jakku in Rey’s vision from TFA. Before the implications of this can sink in, the ground beneath them gives out and the crew gets sucked below the surface of the sand. They find themselves in a series of underground tunnels where they discover the remains of Ochie and the dagger. It is discovered that Ochie was a not just a Sith loyalist, but a Sith assassin. Rey feels a very strong connection to this weapon, but can’t quite articulate it.

  • They find the dagger among the remains and Rey recalls that it was tradition for Sith assassins to inscribe secrets on them. The dagger has writing on it in a language that nobody can identify. It’s then handed over to 3PO who identifies the writing as a Sith language, but he reveals that he is unable to translate the writing due to restrictions in his programing. C-3PO can actually read it; He knows what it says and tells the Resistance crew that it reveals the location to a wayfinder, but his programming forbids him from providing a literal translation of the text.  Chewbacca takes possession of the dagger and the group’s attention shifts to finding a way out of the caves. During their escape attempt, the team runs into a giant, very aggressive, sand worm (who presumably created the tunnels). A battle with the sand worm ensues and our heroes end up backed into a corner, preparing to meet their fate when Rey notices a detail. The worm is injured.

  • In a display of previously unknown power, Rey is able to heal the worm’s injuries, satiating the worm and providing the heroes the chance they needed to escape. Once they crew exits the cave system, they see a First Order Star Destroyer in the sky and know that Kylo Ren has found them. Once they realize this they (correctly) reason that the First Order would have already found the Falcon, making that plan of escape impossible. In an act of desperation, the crew boards Ochie’s ship and attempt to get it working.

  • Rey senses that Kylo is coming for her, so she takes off on her own to confront him and buy her friends some time. While Kylo and Rey are engaged, the Knights of Ren and the First Order head for Ochie’s ship and our other heroes. Chewbacca splits off from the crew and attempts to delay the Knights, but is captured. The dagger is taken from him and he boards a First Order prisoner transport. Rey and Kylo both notice Chewbacca being taken captive and being brought to a transport ship during their confrontation. As the ship takes off, Rey shifts her attention from Kylo to her captured friend and begins to use the Force to stop the transport and pull it back to the ground. Kylo attempts to counteract this by pushing the ship away. Control over the ship becomes a battle between Kylo and Rey, much like their battle for Anakin’s lightsaber in TLJ. Kylo begins to gain the upper hand which angers Rey. In her frustration, lightning shoots from her hand, destroying the the transport ship and killing all its passengers. Devastated by what she just did, Rey collapses.

  • While all this is transpiring, Poe, Finn, 3PO and BB-8 get Ochie’s ship in the air just in time to fly over to pick up a distraught Rey. With no Lando, no Falcon, no dagger and no Chewbacca, our heroes limp away from the desert planet. they find out that they do not have possession of the dagger because Chewbacca had it, but all is not lost because 3PO has it’s message stored in his memory. A plan to hack 3PO’s programming restrictions is formed and they set course for Kijimi. BB-8 finds and reboots the droid D-O on Ochie’s ship.

ACT II

  • The heroes of the Resistance make their way to the snow dusted planet of Kijimi to execute their plan to discover what secrets the dagger held. The Resistance team arrives on the planet and bump into Zorri Bliss and her crew. She reveals that Poe has a colorful past, once functioned as a spice runner and still owes her money. A quick skirmish occurs where Rey gets the upper hand and Zorri agrees to bring them to Babu Frik to hack 3PO’s programming to read the Sith language on the dagger. There is an alley on Kijimi, and Babu Frik brings them through this back alley and little bar in order to get to the droid ship. There is a quick cut at this point back to Kylo where we find out that the Knights of Ren have tracked the Resistance team to Kijimi Frik tells everyone that he can unlock the message to be read, but in doing so C-3PO’s memory will be wiped. Still reeling from the loss of Chewbacca, the heroes argue about finding another way to get the job done, but in an act of self sacrifice C-3PO voluntarily consent to the modifications, knowing that (for all intents and purposes) the droid we’ve all known for years will essentially die. Frik completes the hack and 3PO is now able to read the message inscribed on the dagger. (This action creates the red eyed C-3PO seen in the D23 footage) The translated text points them to the location of the Emperor’s own wayfinder. Having served his purpose, 3PO’s memory wipe begins and he shuts down. Once the memory wipe is complete, 3PO reboots with a completely empty memory.
  • Zorri and Poe reminisce about old times sometime around or during the 3PO sequence. There is some lingering connection there even though they had some sort of falling out in the past. Poe tries to convince Zorri to join them. She turns him down, but she understands the good in what Poe is trying to do and gives him a “First Order Captain’s Medallion” as a gesture of good will to help them get through First Order security. She had been saving to buy this medallion on the black market as her ticket off Kijimi and away from her spice running days, but she gives it to Poe. Kylo’s Star Destroyer arrives on the planet and Rey senses that Chewbacca is still alive.

  • Kylo initiates another mind bond with Rey. Kylo spends much of this time antagonizing Rey, some of this conversation revolves around her parents and the truth behind the dagger. It was once used to murder her parents. Many years ago, Ochee was sent to murder Rey’s parents who were trying to hide Rey from the galaxy. Ochee succeeded, leaving her parents as nobodies to be forgotten by that galaxy. Where Ochee failed was with Rey. He could not find her so he left her behind on Jakku. This is what Rey remembers, the ship leaving in the wake of her parent’s murder, not her parents abandoning her. Rey lashes out at Kylo during this bond and their lightsabers clash. Having gotten everything he needed from Rey during this session, he cuts off the bond. Kylo makes his way down to the planet.
  • As our heroes make their escape, we see that Palpatine’s orders to Hux and Pryde are being carried out as children are being rounded up by soldiers of the First Order. As the heroes escape on Ochee’s ship, the group makes the decision to use the passage device to board the Star Destroyer and recapture the Falcon and save Chewie. The device works as advertised and their ship lands without question. On board the Star Destroyer, the droids log on to the ship’s computer network to locate Chewie. Rey splits off, feeling as if something is calling to her. Meanwhile, the others find Chewie, but their rescue attempt fails and they are all taken captive.
  • The calling Rey feels is caused by the dagger which draws her to it in Kylo’s living quarters. Rey finds and grabs Ochie’s dagger, but when she does, it gives her visions of what happened to her parents. Ochie found and killed them with that dagger and that her parents were trying to hide her from Ochie. When she breaks free of the vision a bond with Kylo begins. He discovers that she is on his Star Destroyer and a lightsaber duel breaks out between the two of them across two different locations. Kylo on the surface of Kijimi and Rey aboard the Star Destroyer. During this encounter, Kylo reveals that there is more to the story behind Rey and her parents. Ochie was sent to find and recover Rey, not kill her. Her parents just got in the way. She is still wanted for the darkness that resides within her. It’s clear that by this point in the story, Kylo is fully committed to what the Emperor’s mission for him. The Vader helmet in Kylo’s room is transferred from whoever is near it to the person who is on planet through the force bond. This happens due to the fight they are having, when the lightsaber strikes the helmet.

  • Once Rey and Kylo’s Force bond duel ends, Kylo makes his way back to his ship as Rey grabs the dagger and Chewbacca’s bandolier and bolts. Rey bumps into a fresh minded C-3PO along the way, hands him Chewbacca’s effects and the dagger and tells him to make a run for it while she stalls Kylo.  It is during their confrontation in person that Kylo reveals Rey’s Palpatine lineage. When it appears that all is lost for our heroes that have been captured by the First Order, General Hux arrives and surprisingly not only allows them to escape, but points them in the direction of the Falcon. Hux was the mole within the First Order that Finn and Poe had received information from. Rey and the other heroes make a break for the Falcon and escape. Rey escapes by just barely jumping into the Falcon while it’s on the edge of the hanger.  After they leave, Pryde kills Hux for treason against the First Order. From this point forward, General Pryde is the sole commander of the First Order military. The Emperor contacts Pryde and demands that he use one of the specially equipped Star Destroyers to destroy Kijimi as an act of loyalty and Pryde complies. Pryde tells Kylo that even though the don’t have the dagger, they know where the Resistance is going because they scanned it while it was still in their possession.
  • The information gleaned from C-3PO’s translation of the dagger’s writing leads the location of a second wayfinder device which turns out to be aboard the wreckage of the second Death Star on the ocean moon of Kef Bir. Ewoks are supposedly seen on the planet, including Wicket. Along their way to the wreckage, the crew comes in contact with a person named Jannah. It is revealed that she was press ganged into First Order service as a child, but eventually escaped and found her way to Kef Bir where she has been living for some time. At this time it is revealed that she is the child that Lando lost to the First Order all those years ago. Jannah provides Rey with transportation to get to the Death Star wreckage Finn and Jannah apparently chase after Rey to and on the Death Star wreckage.
  • Rey makes her way to the Death Star wreckage and begins climbing her way through it’s twisted remains. This scene feels very reminiscent of the activities we see Rey doing when we are first introduced to her in TFA.

  • She eventually reaches the Emperor’s throne room and discovers a chamber connecting to that room that contains the second wayfinder. Rey approaches the object and picks it up which induces visions of a possible future for herself. In this vision we see a version of Rey that has been enveloped by the dark side as seen in the D23 footage. The voice of Palpatine may be heard during this scene. The vision shocks Rey and she stumbles back into the throne room where Kylo Ren is waiting for her. Kylo takes possession of the Emperor’s wayfinder, destroys it and indicates to Rey that the only way to get another wayfinder is to go through him and take Vader’s. A lightsaber battle ensues, beginning in the throne room and eventually transitioning to exterior wreckage among the crashing waves. Off in another part of the galaxy while Kylo and Rey clash sabers, a bright light in the universe begins to fade. Leia is dying.
  • As their battle rages on, both Kylo and Rey sense the death or their respective mother and mentor. Palpatine senses her death too, making him more confident that Rey now has nobody to turn to but him. Sometime around here, Palpatine orders Kajimi to be destroyed as the first ships of the Sith Fleet reach deployment altitude. They both react, but Rey recovers from the shock sooner and leverages the moment to take Kylo’s weapon from him and stab him through the chest with it. In the aftermath of their concluded duel, Rey declares to Kylo that she will never be like him and fall to the dark side. She exercises her newfound healing ability to save Kylo from death, steals his ship along with Vader’s wayfinder device aboard it and takes off, leaving her enemy behind. After Rey leaves the forest moon, the remainder of the Resistance crew boards the Falcon, along with their newfound ally Jannah, having spent the duration of Rey and Kylo’s fight repairing the ship, and return to the hidden base on the jungle planet.
  • Broken and defeated, Kylo Ren remains on the wreckage of the second Death Star when he is visited by a vision of his father. Han speaks to his son, telling him that it’s never too late to return to return to the light and make the right choice. Ben goes to say "I love you" but Han interrupts with "I know". This conversation has a profound effect on Kylo and in a symbolic gesture, he discards his lightsaber and walks away from darkness and the identity of Kylo Ren.

ACT III

  • Following her experience on the Death Star, Rey returns to the island on Ahch-to. Throughout the course of the film she has given in to her aggression, nearly killed her friend by unleashing a stream of lightning on a ship, learned that she is the descendant of the Sith Lord who reduced the Jedi to numbers that they have yet to recover from even half a century later, saw a vision of herself as a servant of darkness and stabbed her enemy through the chest in anger. Her most recent encounter with Kylo was the last straw and Rey has now made the decision to follow the example set by Luke and exile herself on the island where the Jedi began. Rey scuttles the ship she stole from Kylo and throws the repaired lightsaber originally constructed by Anakin Skywalker in after it. The ghost of Luke Skywalker appears to Rey, holding the weapon she just discarded. Luke’s conversation with Rey is said to be encouraging yet realistically grim in tone. Luke knows first hand what it’s like to face Palpatine and that it’s not an easy task. Rey must confront Palpatine in the same way that Luke once had to confront Vader. Luke encourages Rey by telling her of the faith Leia had in her. She saw the potential within her and hoped that Rey would be able to restore balance to the Force once more just as Anakin once did. Rey supposedly asks to speak to Leia at one point, but Luke responds by telling her that Leia has not yet completed her training and he can not yet feel her distinctive consciousness within the Force.

  • We see a flashback Leia’s last day of Jedi training told to us by Luke. It’s stated in this scene that Leia gave up the Jedi path because she had a vision that her child would die and she sought to prevent that. By the end of their conversation, Rey is reenergized for the seemingly insurmountable task that lies ahead of her and agrees to leave the island. Having destroyed the ship she used to come to Ahch-to, Luke raises his own X-wing (previously seen submerged in the coves of the island) to allow Rey to face Palpatine. In addition to the starfighter, Luke gifts Rey with a lightsaber that once belonged to Leia. Rey boards the X-wing, armed with the coordinates for Palpatine’s location obtained from Vader’s wayfinder and leaves the planet.

  • After returning to the jungle base on Ajan Kloss, several things happen. After seeing the sacrifice made by 3PO, R2 reveals that he has a backup of C-3PO’s memories in his archives and is able to restore the droid to a mostly whole state. It’s an older C-3PO, but it’s better than no 3PO at all. The Resistance crew finds out about Leia’s death once they arrive on the base. There is apparently much mourning from the whole team, especially Chewie who cries. Lando reenters the story, having changed his mind, coming to the Jungle Base and wanting to help however he can. Seeing that everyone is at a loss for what to do, Lando tries to give Finn some hope.

  • Finn reveals information from D-O that leads to Exogol. With D-O having been found on Ochie’s ship, the Resistance discovers that Ochie visited Palpatine long ago when he was first given the mission to capture Rey and D-O can tell them how to get back there. The Resistance mobilizes, readying themselves for the impending conflict.

  • Rey follows the coordinates found in the wayfinder to the same spot Kylo did earlier in the film. Rey lands outside the giant cube floating above the ground and makes her way through the same underground passages. Where Rey and Kylo’s experiences begin to differ come in with where Rey discovers Palpatine. Palpatine is not in the same chamber that Kylo discovered him in, but in a huge open air arena, surrounded by Sith loyalists in dark cloaks in the grandstands.  Palpatine is being supported by some kind of mechanical arm, possibly connecting Palpatine to life support machinery. The sky above the stadium is filled with Star Destroyers soon to be embroiled in conflict with the approaching Resistance. Rey begins to confront Palpatine.

  • Palpatine truly wills Rey to strike him down in anger. Palpatine reportedly acknowledges that he extended a very similar offer to Luke years before, but on that day Luke had his father to save him. Rey has nobody. She tries to resist at first, but slowly begins to lose her resolve. During this conversation Sideous reportedly confirms Rey’s lineage and goads her on to take up a lightsaber and strike him down (very much like how he encouraged Luke to do the same thing 30 years prior), telling her that only in killing him will she gain the power needed to save her friends.

  • Palpatine also apparently makes statements alluding to the belief that Vader could not betray Luke due to their familial bond and that same kind of bond would ultimately cause Rey to do what the Emperor wishes. As the battle between the First Order/Empire and the Resistance rages in the skies above them, Rey gives into the Emperor’s commands and decides to strike him down.

The actual shot may have leaked. You can find it easily on r/StarWarsLeaks.

  • Ben Solo was able to leave the wreckage of the Death Star and his former persona behind and travel to Exogol with the purpose of joining Rey to help her face down Sidious. Before leaving the Death Star wreckage, Ben abandoned Kylo’s lightsaber so now he’s walking into a war zone with no weapon. When he arrives on the planet, he encounters the Knights of Ren who are guarding the entrance to the arena where Rey and Sidious are. As Rey is about to kill Palpatine as she sees no way around this, she senses Ben at the last moment. She realizes that she’s not alone and initiates a Force bond with him to pass off one of her lightsabers to him. Rey apparently takes out the guards with Leia’s saber while Ben uses Anakin’s to dispatch the Knights of Ren. They reconvene to face Palpatine together. After his battle, Ben is all sweaty, bloody, bruised up and his veins are popping out.

  • Seeing Ben arrive pleases Sidious. Palpatine then uses his power to bond them together and begins to syphon power from them and direct it into himself. As their power flows into him, the once silky and decrepit Palpatine stands tall and strong once again, restoring himself to a much younger, healthier state. It was Sidious’ plan for Rey to kill him, take over and carry on his legacy, but sucking the life out of them and rejuvenating himself was his contingency plan.

  • While all this action is happening on the ground, much more explosive events are happening in the sky. The Resistance and the First Order are locked in battle. The Resistance arrives and they are confronted with hundreds of Palpatine’s Sith Star Destroyers.

  • The Resistance’s first target is a control tower (the same one seen in the opening of the film) that sends out a signal to the Sith Fleet on how to navigate out of the area. Once the First Order notices this, Pryde transfers the signal to his flagship instead. This enables the signal to be bounced around from ship to ship making it ‘impossible’ to stop. The Resistance decides to assault Pryde’s destroyer to knock out it’s control tower. At one point during the battle Finn and Jannah land on Pryde’s flagship to destroy it. They recognize this as essentially a suicide mission but Finn and Jannah in particular see the price they may have to pay as wort it to prevent more children from being abducted like they once were.
  • Having returned to full strength, Palpatine apparently “fights” Rey and Ben in some capacity. Ben uses the Force Healing power to heal and save Rey, in a selfless act of love and compassion, saving the whole galaxy in the process. Palpatine then shoots lightning into Ben, forcing him to fall into a bottomless abyss, never to be seen again. Palps then shoots lightning into the sky at Resistance ships. He reportedly continues to make statements about how Rey will join him. Rey reportedly lies on the ground and begins to concentrate calmly but hard. She reaches out to the Force asking for help and she finally begins to commune with the Jedi of the past. Among the voices that she hears during this time are Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Ezra Luke and Leia (possibly Maz as well). In defiance of this, Rey grabs both Anakin’s and Leia’s lightsabers and Palpatine turns his wrath on her. It’s lightsaber vs. lightning at this point. Rey is overpowering the Emperor, deflecting his lightning back toward himself, killing him and unleashing an explosion powerful enough to make the arena start to crumble around them. Darth Sideous, the last of the Sith Lords, is finally dead.
  • ART BY u/AndrewBurt120, based on a sketch by MSW ->

  • The Resistance ships come back online following Palpatine’s death and they continue fighting against the Star Destroyers. Lando shows up in the Falcon with reinforcements from across the galaxy. Zorri appears to be among them. There is apparently mention of the First Order interference with the Resistance’s signals on Crait and not allowing responses back through, but they heard the call for help loud and clear. Finn fires the Star Destroyer's own cannons at the ship itself, destroying it before the signal can transmit to another Star Destroyer.

  • Without the power to navigate the fleet begins to crash into itself. At this same time Finn and Jannah complete their mission and succeed in destroying Pryde’s flagship. The two are prepared to go down with the ship, but are rescued at the last second by the Falcon. Rey escapes the crumbling arena. There is a TROS musical motif called, “The Falcon’s Last Ride”, implying that the Falcon might be destroyed.
  • Having won the day, the survivors of the battle regroup at the jungle base and celebrate. What follows is apparently celebration across the galaxy, once again mirroring what is seen at the end of Return of the Jedi. Poe attempts a “more than friends” insinuation with Zorri but is rebuffed in a moment that is played for a light laugh.
  • At the end of the film, the heroes then travel to where everything began. The desolate, sand swept planet of Tatooine. Between defeating Sidious and this moment, Rey has disassembled Anakin and Leia’s lightsabers and uses their components to construct one of her own with the force. It has a golden/yellow blade. Rey buries the leftover pieces beneath the Tatooine sands at the site of the Lars homestead. As Rey turns to join Finn, Poe, Jannah, Chewie, R2, 3PO, BB-8 and D-0, a stranger calls out to her. The stranger apparently speaks of how nobody has been seen around this land for a very long time and asks Rey for her name. This is the second time in the film that this question has been posed to her, but unlike her response on Pasaana, Rey has decided who she is. She gives the name Rey Skywalker to the stranger, adopting the name of her masters and revealing the primary meaning of the title of the film. Rey joins here friends as they look off into the distance at the horizon of the desert planet and watch twin suns set on a universe filled with hope. Luke and Leia, now force ghosts, might be watching them.

MISC/MUSIC : Motifs from previous episodes will be making an appearance, including “Duel of the Fates.”

  1. CHARACTER DETAILS

  • Adam Driver/Kylo Ren was in Jordan. He put his mask back together with some red adhesive. When we pick up with Kylo's story in IX, he's still struggling between the Light Side and the Dark Side. In addition to this, he's also dealing with how to reconcile his feelings towards Rey. “He had been forging this maybe-bond with Rey,” Driver says, “and it kind of ends with the question in the air: is he going to pursue that relationship, or when the door of her ship goes up, does that also close that camaraderie that they were maybe forming?” (MSW podcast, JediPaxis’ sources) (Vanity Fair)
  • Note that Driver has mentioned this several times, that there’s something he’s known since the beginning, that there’s something which gave Kylo a clear arc, including most recently in Vanity Fair: “An overall arc was very, not vague, the opposite, it was very clear,” Driver said. “There was an end in sight even from the very beginning. The details obviously hadn’t been worked out, but we had talked about the very thing that we’d been working towards with this last one.” (Vanity Fair) (Compiled by MSW)

  • Leia's role as Resistance leader is being said to be of a similar in size to her TFA role, perhaps even smaller, though her flashback scenes make her seem more present in the film. No confirmation on whether Leia lives or dies in the film. (JediPaxis’ sources)

  • Finn has found his identity by The Rise of Skywalker and is full-fledged Resistance fighter. (SW Celebration). “Finn gets emotional closure within his identity—what is family, what is friendship, what is love. But as far as Phasma, she dead.” (SW Celebration) (Compiled by MSW). Does Finn get information on his past? We “definitely get more information on all the individuals in the film through the dynamics and connections and new relationships. But, yeah you get to learn a lot more about Finn, but a lot of it is about the growth and who he is internally.” (Steele Wars) “Finn is undeniably brave in this movie, and that’s because of the collaboration between himself and Rey and Poe. Them being all together was the magic of this movie.” (Extra) (Compiled by MSW)

  • Whereas in the other films, Poe is this kind of lone wolf, now he’s really part of a group. They’re going out and going on missions and have a much more familiar dynamic now. (Vanity Fair)

  • Naomi Ackie's character is named Jannah and is Lando’s long lost daughter. She is a stormtrooper who defected, her and Finn share a bond. (JediPaxis’ sources) (MSW Podcast)

  • Keri Russel's character is a bounty hunter named Zorri Bliss with an unclear allegiance. She wears a purple jumpsuit with bronze/gold accessories, including an elongated helmet. Her mask helps Bliss disguise both her identity and motives—a useful feature for anyone who might want to blend in at a shady cantina or the Thieves’ Quarter of Kijimi. She is an old friend of Poe. (JediPaxis’ sources) (Vanity Fair) (Tweet)

  • The Knights of Ren are here, their weapons aren't the same as in TFA. They look like Star Wars-ish medieval weapons. (JediPaxis’ sources)

  • Rose is very high up in the Resistance. Her role is comparable to Lando's. She is Finn’s love interest. (MSW podcast) (MSW article)

  • Lando Calrissian doesn’t have a really large role in the story. Supposedly he acts as a Maz Kanata type of character that points the way on the heroes path to obtain the MacGuffin. He retakes the helm of the Millenium Falcon. (MSW article) (Vanity Fair)

  1. ORGANIZED LEAK ARCHIVE (FEBRUARY - AUGUST 2019)

This section is pretty messy, may have contradicting info, and is missing some “big” leaks. You can find those in the “Plot” section. Sources are put next to each leak. This also contains a lot of contradictory information, as some of these infos have changed/were innacurate. Contains leaks from February to August 2019. This is NOT a plot summary.

CONFIRMED/LIKELY infos are colored in GREEN, FALSE infos are colored in RED. Somewhat true but different infos are colored in ORANGE.

JUNGLE PLANET & FLASHBACK

  • The Jungle planet is involved at the very beginning. (Star Wars Celebration Panel)
  • FLASHBACK: After the opening crawl we pan from space. The camera moves towards the planet covered in trees. We see two blue lightsabers dueling one another. Both of the lightsabers are held in hand by two Jedi with helmets with visors covering their faces so we cannot immediately recognize if this Rey with someone new. The two Jedi break from their duel and remove their helmets to reveal Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. We’re seeing one of, if not the final training lesson between Luke and Leia. Leia is giving up her Jedi training due to the fact that she's pregnant with a son. The source on this mentioned a fight, we may be getting Leia and Luke in a lightsaber duel toward the beginning of the film. (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure) (MSW podcast/JediPaxis’ sources) (MSW Video) (MSW Video)
  • We then hear a voice-over shouting "Master Leia!" causing Rey to end Leia's flashback and we are thrust into the post-Luke Skywalker era, far from General Leia Organa's training with her brother all those years ago. Now, we are with Leia and Rey amongst the trees. Rey trains to become the Jedi that will face-off against the evil supreme leader that was once the child Leia carried during her training with Luke Skywalker. Leia appears to have taken up the mantel of Jedi mentor to Rey in the wake of Luke's passing.  (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure) The slug Klaud is brought into the Resistance by Chewie. We also catch up with Maz. (MSW Video)
  • Rey is seen crossed legged, meditating and levitating much like Luke in TLJ. (BespinBulletin report)
  • Apparently we catch up with Finn and Poe returning to the jungle planet. The duo has been in contact with an informant from within the First Order. The mole has told Finn and Poe about Kylo coming into possession of the "wayfinder". Leia sends Rey, Chewbacca, C-3PO and the other droids to accompany them on the mission. In order to get them going on their quest, Leia puts them in contact with someone on Pasaana. (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure)

KYLO’S DARK SIDE SHENANIGANS

  • The Knights of Ren have returned from the Beyond. (Source)
  • The Knights of Ren return to Kylo with info on where they think the MacGuffin (the Wayfinder device ???)  is. (Old 4chan leak, unconfirmed but likely)
  • Kylo Ren needs the Wayfinder device, as the Sith fleet is the key Kylo Ren needs to unlock Palpatine’s legacy. (MSW Article)
  • There’s a scene where Kylo Ren opens a box with Vader’s helmet in it.
  • Kylo Ren has accumulated private armies and militias under The First Order banner to strengthen his faction against any opposition to his rule. Things get interesting for him when a threat from The Beyond reveals itself, making him vulnerable. This threat serves as a motivating factor for Kylo's and Rey's interactions as the story progresses. (Source)

  • Kylo Ren goes to a dark, creepy castle-looking building. A monkey looking creature was on the set. The castle/creepy domain is owned by an “ape man” who agrees to help Kylo fix his mask and to activate a device that will take him and his knights towards their goals. First they must “reforge” the mask and then they’ll be ready to continue on their quest. There was ash involved outside which means it could be Mustafar. (MSW article) (MSW podcast)
  • Kylo’s mask is reforged. The sequence is ritualistic, the Knights of Ren kind of dance around it. (Teaser) (MSW podcast)
  • The Knights of Ren actually stalk around the work being done excited and eager for the work to be done. They sound like a rowdy and evil bunch of degenerates. (MSW article)
  • Kylo either seeks out or is summoned by a new character/creature that is being referred to as "the Oracle", that supposedly lives on the swamp planet. (JediPaxis' sources) (Unofficial drawing)
  • Kylo gets the Wayfinder device he needed from the Oracle creature. This is sort of a Pandora’s Box for Kylo it seems as he thinks he’s getting himself something powerful that answers to him but Palpatine is not so willing to share his toys with anyone. Palpatine’s contingency plans weren’t to make sure Darth Vader’s grandson received his inheritance. Kylo finds it to contain coordinates to a point in the Unknown Regions. The wayfinder that Kylo is given once belonged to his grandfather. (MSW Article) (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure)
  • Using the coordinates found within the wayfinder device, Kylo arrives in the Unknown Regions. Here, Kylo encounters Emperor Palpatine. Kylo and Palpatine's conversation apparently centers around ordering Kylo to find Rey and bring her to the Emperor with the goal of turning her to the dark side. (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure)
  • Palpatine is very old and decrepit at this point, possibly on the verge of death. His goal in luring Kylo to him and converting Rey to darkness is more or less to have Rey and Kylo inherit his "new Empire" and for them to rule it together. With Rey and Kylo together, Palpatine will use the Force to rejuvenate himself which was Palpatine’s plan all along. (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure) (MSW Podcast)
  • In order to facilitate bringing about this "new Empire", Palpatine has spent his 30 years of PTO creating a fleet of "Death Star Destroyers"; Star Destroyers with Death Star tech mounted on them, giving them the capability to destroy a planet. The red Sith Stormtroopers which belong to Palpatine are hidden away inside this massive fleet, probably as a final act so upon his resurrection he could dominate the universe once more. (MSW Article)  (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure)
  • Ren tells Hux and Pryde that they need to raise an army. The First Order don’t appear to know about Palpatine being alive in the unknown regions.  (MSW Podcast)

FIGHT ON PASAANA

  • The heroes end up at a festival of sorts before a battle. (MSW article)
  • It's revealed that Leia's contact is Lando Calrissian. Lando points them toward another one of our McGuffins, a "Sith artifact" that apparently turns out to be a dagger. This dagger has some sort of writing on it that 3PO can’t decipher. (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure)
  • Rey and the crew get attacked by a sandworm alien (the ground opens up and sucks our heroes down), which reveals a new power Rey possess: the power to heal or even rejuvenate life. The heroes battle the creature and almost kill the worm and then she uses her powers to repair, or heal, or even bring it back to life. (MSW video) (MSW Podcast)
  • Kylo is involved into things happening underground, in Ochi’s tomb. Ochi is the character they believe gets stabbed by the Sith dagger and was a Resistance contact who knew something of Palpatine or Unknown Regions which is where they find the Sith Dagger. (MSW Podcast)
  • Kylo initiates a Force mind link between himself and Rey. Through their connection Kylo discovers where Rey and the Resistance crew are and leaves to pursue them. Eventually Kylo and the Knights of Ren arrive and begin to attack our heroes.
  • Kylo Ren attacks Rey with his TIE Fighter on Pasaana. (Teaser) (MSW Patreon)
  • There is footage of Kylo walking away from a TIE Fighter crash on Pasaana. (MSW podcast)
  • There was a pre-visual shot of Kylo Ren jumping out of the TIE Fighter and came down Obi Wan style in ‘Revenge of the Sith’ then his lightsaber ignited and he and Rey fight. (MSW podcast)
  • Rey and Kylo play tug of war over a ship is on Pasaana. The Knights of Ren are out there too. One of our heroes is on the ship. It doesn’t look good for the character on the ship after Rey accidentally force lightning’s the ship but it is a fake out. (MSW Podcast)
  • The heroes are forced to leave the Millennium Falcon behind, presumably as it was found by the First Order.  Finn and Poe fix Ochi’s ship so they can escape. (MSW Podcast)
  • Finn, Poe and 3PO get into a speeder chase. (Teaser)
  • Chewbacca, BB-8 and Rey get into a speeder chase too. (Vanity Fair)
  • Kylo recovers the Falcon and takes it back to his Star Destroyer. (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure)

KIJIMI, FISH MARKET & DROID FACTORY

  • The snow planet is named Kijimi, has a huge market and a droid factory. There’s a huge Stormtrooper battalion and some Snowtroopers in that mix (MSW podcast) (MSW article)
  • 3PO is confronted with a challenge he is not equipped to handle. The artifact found on Passana contains a language that 3PO can’t translate without modifications. In order to modify 3POs programming, Poe brings the team to Kijimi. (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure)
  • The group visits the droid factory. (MSW article) (MSW Podcast)
  • C3PO reluctantly has his memory uploaded to R2D2 which leads to some funny issues for R2. C3PO getting his memory erased is one of the most emotional moments in the film, kind of feels as if C3PO is sacrificing himself while commenting that he’ll do anything for his friends before shutting down. (MSW article) (MSW Podcast)
  • There’s a character based around the Thieve’s Quarter of Kijimi that appears to be an adversary of Zorri Bliss and our heroes. (MSW article)
  • During the events leading to the modification of 3PO on the wintery planet, Kylo initiates another Force connection between he and Rey. Kylo supposedly uses this as an opportunity to begin forcing Rey down the path of darkness. He does this by antagonizing Rey. Kylo tells her that he knows about the dagger and what it was once used for. Kylo apparently tells her that this dagger was used to murder Rey’s parents. Kylo maintains that her parents are nobodies in the grand story. This angers Rey and she lashes out at Kylo and a lightsaber duel ensues. Rey is on Kijimi and Kylo is on his Star Destroyer. Ren keeps the link alive long enough to learn Rey’s location and eventually peruses her in his Star Destroyer like before. (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure) (MSW podcast)
  • The heroes are helped off the snowing planet by Zorri Bliss. (MSW article)
  • Once translatable the dagger supposedly reveals information regarding a second wayfinder, this one having belonged to Emperor Palpatine himself, leading the team to journey to the forest moon of Kef Bir. (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure)
  • Once Kylo arrives, our gang of heroes decide to sneak aboard and attempt to recover the Falcon prior to leaving. The rescue plan goes awry and the group gets captured by the First Order. It’s revealed that Hux is the First Order mole that has been feeding the Resistance information and he allows Finn, Poe and Chewie to escape by blasting troopers while Kylo is distracted by dueling with Rey in person. During this duel, Kylo adds another wrinkle to Rey’s backstory. He maintains that while her parents are nobodies, her grandparents (more specifically her grandfather) wasn’t. Kylo tells Rey that she is the granddaughter of Palpatine. This explains his interest in bringing the random nobody from Jakku into the fold. The crew recovers the Falcon, Rey reconnects with them and they all flee. (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure) (BespinBulletin report)
  • Following her battle aboard the Star Destroyer and escape on the Falcon. Rey uses the newly gleaned information resulting from 3POs modifications and the translation of the dagger to travel to Kef Bir.

THE DEATH STAR RUINS ON KEF BIR

  • The group goes to the ruins of the 2nd Death Star on Kef Bir. Ewoks are seen. (BespinBulletin report) (Teaser)
  • Finn and Jannah lead the charge against the mechanized forces of the First Order. (Vanity Fair)
  • Kylo is already waiting for Rey in Palpatine’s throne room aboard the wreckage of the second Death Star. Naturally, they fight. Rey begins to tap into some hatred to gain the upper hand and eventually defeats Kylo, possibly destroying his lightsaber in the process, leaving him for dead on the wreckage of the Death Star. Rey takes possession of Palpatine's wayfinder and leaves. (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure)
  • The “Dark Rey” sequence is apparently is a short sequence that happens right after Rey picks up Palpatine's wayfinder, similar to the Cave sequence in ESB. It’s a vision possibly involving Palpatine himself. (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure) (BespinBulletin report)
  • While lying in the wreckage of the Death Star, Kylo Ren reportedly sees a vision of his father. (Unclear if Han appears as a ghost or just through the magic of injury induced hallucinations) Han tells Kylo that it’s never too late to change and when he leaves Kef Bir, he leaves not as Kylo Ren, but as Ben Solo. (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure) (MSW article)

REY THE GRUMPY HERMIT

  • This duel is a critical tipping point for Rey as well. In the wake of her confrontation with Kylo, she takes the wayfinder and flees to Ahch-to to collect her thoughts. Her mindset is reportedly mirror Luke’s while he was there prior to and during the events of The Last Jedi. The vision of a possible dark future for herself in conjunction fact that she nearly killed Kylo scared Rey in the same way that considering killing Ben in his sleep scared Luke many years prior. She feared the path she was headed down and decides to swear off the Jedi, exiling herself on Ahch-to, stealing Kylo’s ship to get there. (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure) (MSW Podcast)

  • Rey scuttles the ship she used to get there just like Luke once did and she caps it all off by casting Anakin's reconstructed lightsaber toward her ship. Just when it looks like the Jedi Order is going to end (again), the specter of Luke Skywalker appears to Rey, holding her discarded lightsaber and does what all good Force ghosts do; gives our hero the resolve to do what needs to be done. Finish the work Luke began over 30 years earlier and put an end to the Emperor for good. Luke passes on Leia’s lightsaber to Rey. (Leia's blade is supposedly blue.) Bolstered by her conversation with Luke, Rey takes Leia's lightsaber, transmits the location of the Sith fleet to the Resistance before heading out herself in Luke’s old X-Wing. (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure) (MSW Podcast)

  • Back at the main Resistance base, Leia is on her deathbed. Like Yoda’s death in Return if the Jedi, nothing bad happened, it was just her time to go. Luke has come to says goodbye, but before it all ends for Leia, he has one final lesson for her. (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure)

THE FINAL FIGHT

  • Rey leaves Ahch-to and travels to the Exogol in the Unknown Regions. Eventually the Resistance fleet arrives and battle ensues. Somehow, Rey finds her way to The Emperor who has been waiting for her. Palpatine confirms that what Kylo told her was true. Apparently after his defeat at DSII, Palpatine was shaken by the fact that he wasn't able to maintain his hold on Vader or seduce Luke to the darkness due to their familial bond. During the course of their conversation Palpatine makes reference to this bond between Vader and Luke and likens it to his bond with Rey hoping that whatever familial connection they have will be enough to win her over and become as strong as that of the Skywalkers. (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure)
  • Rey is trapped in The Emperor’s throne room, watching two opposing fleets battle while she is helplessly gazes onward. It’s at this point that Ben reappears. Apparently Ben and Rey join forces and begin attacking Palpatine. The Knights of Ren are supposedly there, and fight for Palpatine. Ben is the one fighting them, while Rey fights Palpatine. Leia's lightsaber comes back into play when Rey and Ben share the Skywalker lightsabers throughout their fight (Rey has Leia’s, Ben has Luke’s. They apparently share Luke’s saber between themselves too at some point in the fight). Ben and Rey have learned how to use their force bond at a new level.
  • Palpatine is rejuvenated. Some crazy over the top Force lightning thing happens and it shoots up into the atmosphere brining a Resistance ship down. At some point the Emperor overpowers them both and supposedly kills Ben. When it looks like all Hope is lost, the ghosts of Luke and Leia show up to aid Rey. Together they overpower the Emperor and end his darkness once and for all. (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure) (BespinBulletin report) (MSW Podcast)
  • As for what the other members of the Resistance are doing at this point, they are engaged in a space battle against Palpatine's fleet lead by General Pryde. The Resistance's goal is supposedly to take out the flagship, severing communications and making navigation out of the Unknown Regions impossible. The flagship is destroyed around the same time that the Emperor dies. Poe Dameron might die in act 3 as his X-Wing was under tarp for quite some time. (UNSURE) (MSW Podcast) (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure) 
  • The movie supposedly ends on Tatooine. During these scenes, it is supposedly revealed that Rey has cannibalized Anakin/Luke's lightsaber and Leia's to make one of her own that supposedly has a yellow/gold blade. She buries the leftover pieces on the grounds of the former Lars homestead. The final shots of the Skywalker saga allegedly echo how the adventure began in ‘77, our heroes gazing at the horizon dreaming of the future as twin suns set in the distance. Rey is at the Lars homestead where Luke Skywalker grew up. A local sees Rey and comments they haven’t seen anyone near this place in a long time and the local woman asks Rey’s name to which she answers “Rey, Rey Skywalker.” (MSW video) (MSW Video) (MSW podcast) (JediPaxis Plot leak, unsure)

RANDOM IMPORTANT BITS

  • A cemetery/graveyard is supposedly involved. (MSW Patreon)
  • There’s a scene where Rey and Ben are at ease with each other in a cave with a red, pyramid shaped device only a tad bigger than hand size. (BespinBulletin report)
  • Something in the movie is about “resurrection” and “sacrifice”.  (MSW podcast, unclear)
  • Maz Kanata is in the start of the film on the jungle planet and is in the final battle but it sounds like she doesn’t have much to do. (MSW Podcast)
  • Rey’s parents might show up as ghosts.
  • Finn and Rose are a thing in the movie but throughout the film, Finn has something he wants to tell Rey but doesn’t get the chance to.

  1. LEAK ARCHIVE  & SOURCES

Here’s an archive of most leaks that have been used here.

I’ll frequently update this document with new (supposedly trustworthy) leaks !
