Definitely something screwy going on. We've got the pyramid thing, a bunch of cone things now as well, and some other odd shapes. Also interestingly, there's something screwy going on with the pyramid page as well. I had to check, but it definitely wasn't cut off on the top before. Half page of paper with an odd camera angle? Weird Force vision thing?

Connix has such a great face for complaining. It's really quite incredible just how well that fits. I wonder just what stage direction she was given to have that blend of "Why am I here?" and "Would you please just get on with it?".

Anyway, I guess if Leia is staying with the Resistance to investigate AnaZone or the books, that'd be how she gets written out of the main plot. It'd be a little hard to continue having Carrie make proper appearances as Leia what with being dead and all. Annie has Finn to continue playing for a character, so it's not like she'll have no one to play for the comic. Plus, voice-only communication is still an option if Leia really needs to talk!

Ohhhhh, okay then. Random casino-planet-stable-kid is highly likely to not make an appearance this Episode then. As amusing as it'd be to have Jim act like a British brat again, it'd be highly unlikely for this plot point to be in the movie as well. Somehow, I can't see how package deliveries would fit in given the whole Empire aesthetic the First Order has. It's completely impractical for a sales and delivery company, you know.

Assuming we get to see Lando again, that will be pretty cool. We'll have had just about all the major characters from the original series that could show up again make an appearance! I wonder what he's been up to since Episode VI given that he didn't show up in the other Sequel movies. Han and Chewie found themselves a neat flying space hangar (even if it was way too red) and seemed to be ferrying space calamari around when they were met back in Episode VII; I hope Lando's thing is just as cool.

Hopefully someone points out Poe's mistake here too. Lando won't be responsible for the fire damage, but he'd be the one legally able to collect on any insurance pay-outs. And possibly sue Poe for misuse of his ship.

Hmm, I think it's more likely that Pete pays attention when it might involve solving personally related puzzles that could lead to getting power. Maybe he did rewatch the video recording enough to remember what the visions were all this time since that game session. That would make things a lot easier for recalling clues. I wonder how many times he ended up rewatching that clip.

Snap is that helmeted dude? I guess that could make sense. Exegol had lightning everywhere, and I can definitely see rain happening in a battle of some kind. Or maybe just all of the water falling down because of a space attack going on. That was rather oddly empty of other people in the scene though for it to be a proper attack though. But, as long as Snap never puts that domed helmet back on, he'll be totally safe! That's the way countering future visions works, right?

Next stop, Tatooine? ... Yeah, that tracks. It's gonna be extremely unlikely to be back on the salt desert planet; we didn't see anyone except the Resistance and those salt foxes. And introducing yet another desert planet when Tatooine is orbiting right there would just have people complaining it wasn't Tatooine anyway.

The more interesting question at the moment I think has to be "how old is that little girl now"? 30-40 is the obvious answer of course, but there's nothing stopping her from being that old at this moment. With time shenanigans, the young girl could have had the laser sword between Rey and Palpatine/Palpaclone or even be completely unrelated to the laser sword. Heck, that scene with the lady holding the girl looked like Rey, so it's totally possible! .... In the comic anyway.

Palpaclone found that sword and lost it? .... Sure why not. It's a little less ridiculous than coming back as a clone, except for the part where said sword probably fell down into the clouds around Cloud City. So, you know, the main reason the sword got lost in the first place.

As for Palpatine bumping into Kanata 30-40 years ago, that sounds completely like a comic thing. That'd put things around the time the second Death Star blew up to put the timing afterwards, and I'm fairly certain he didn't sneak into the shuttle Luke used to escape. Before that point has the problem of Palpatine just happening to cross paths with Kanata while he's busy running the Empire. And then getting punched out sufficiently for Kanata to escape with a lightsaber, all while avoiding the troopers and support staff that'd be around.

Of course, Kanata could be misremembering how long ago it was, having other memory problems, and this was all about Palpaclone, but where's the fun in questioning that? Time mysteries are much more interesting.
