Big things are happening in Star Wars: Episode IX. Interestingly, a new leak might confirm that General Hux will not be working with Kylo Ren for long after their unfortunate encounter in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
In The Last Jedi, Hux and Kylo clashed over who would be declared the Supreme Leader following Snoke's unexpected death. Hux initially argued that he should take over but was Force-choked into submission by Kylo. The two seemed to be working together just fine by the end of the film yet a new Episode IX leak suggests that Domhnall Gleeson's character won't be on Kylo's side for long (via Reddit).
The leak describes a scene involving Finn, Poe Dameron, and Chewbacca meeting up with Dominic Monaghan's character. They are joined by Naomie Ackie's character, who "found something valuable at the cost of losing several soldiers."
"Enters an accompanied horse with several children masks on. A body is seated with a bag over their head. He gets dropped down. Revealed to be a cowering Domnhall (general [sic] Hux). He admits surrender and is searched by Domenic [sic] who prods him with an instrument and taunts him. To Naomi's characters [sic] displeasure."
According to the post, the scene takes place sometime before the end of Act One. If this is true, it could mean that Hux is either kidnapped or goes willingly with the Resistance early on in Episode IX. Although his intentions are still unclear, there are speculations that Hux is planning to bring down Kylo to take control of the First Order.
It's certainly an interesting idea. However, we will recommend taking this with a grain of salt.
Star Wars: Episode IX is scheduled for release on December 20, 2019.
