Possible Plot Leak for Star Wars Episode IX


Though everyone is gearing up for Solo: A Star Wars Story, a lot of fans are still wondering about what J.J. Abrams has in store for Star Wars Episode IX. A supposed breakdown of the plot has come out online, and it confirms a time jump and the involvement of General Leia.

As per Reddit user FOOSLS (via GamesRadar), this is the breakdown of some plot points of the film:

Star Wars 9 is set five years after The Last Jedi

The First Order [is] in charge, with Kylo Ren being seen as a "benevolent" leader

Rey, Finn, Poe and Leia head to the Unknown Regions to rescue a "female alien prodigy" from the First Order

There's a First Order mole helping the Resistance – which turns out to be Hux.

Rey has a "secret love child" which enrages Kylo

Kylo nearly kills Rey, but she is saved by Leia

For a more intricate breakdown, you can read it here.

Take in mind that this is said to be an early treatment of the story, so we could get something entirely different come the final cut of Episode IX.

Everyone knows that this leak should also be taken with a grain of salt, but it's worth noting that this source has confirmed important plot points before like the death of Snoke and the Canto Bight sequence in The Last Jedi.

Just looking at the breakdown, I can only trust a few of the plot points listed down. I can understand the five-year time jump or Hux being a mole, but anything with Leia's involvement seems very unlikely. Lucasfilm has already promised that Carrie Fisher won't be brought to life with CGI, and unless they're willing to recast or have a huge amount of extra footage for Leia, then I don't think Leia would be in the film at all.

But who knows, I'm up for anything as long as it makes sense.

Star Wars Episode IX is set to come out Dec. 20, 2019.
