Star Wars: Episode IX – New Details For Previously Leaked Rumors [SPOILERS]

Recently we shared some rumors claimed to be leaks that originated from a scoop site. The following article adds a little more information from the originator of these rumors. There is a chance therefore that this article could contain SPOILERS for Star Wars: Episode 9 so check out one of our other stories if this isn’t for you.

Still with me?

Cool, I won’t detail out again everything that was in the original article I wrote, you can read it for yourself in the related section below. I will mention the points that were expanded upon in a podcast from MakingStarWars Jason Ward, who these original rumors spawned from. The podcast itself is currently only available to Patreon subscribers to the website, but will release to all later today. The information I have here comes from a user who has heard the podcast already and listed the main totaling points on a Reddit thread Here.

RELATED: Star Wars: Episode IX Rumor Roundup – The MacGuffin, The Knights of Ren and The Beyond

Last time we heard that The Knights of Ren would arrive back from some place called ‘The Beyond’ and this place would contain a threat to both the First Order and The Rebels. There was also mention of a new set of troopers that were referred to as Sith Troopers, but they said this could well be a working name only.

In addition to this Ward says that he’s heard the Sith Troopers (no hint of Force powers that he knows, and he doubts it) actually come back from The Beyond with the Knights of Ren. Whether this means they are part of the threat to both sides is not mentioned. As for the Knights of Ren, Ward referenced rumors of whether they would be Force users and said that he’s heard some of Knights are Force users and some are not.

Another thing mentioned previously was the rumor that Star Wars: Episode 9 would feature a MacGuffin and that this MacGuffin would be central to the plot and sought for by both sides. In addition, Ward now says that his sources have claimed this MacGuffin will be seen as controversial to the fandom at large, though one described it as delightful. He says no one has told him specifically what this is despite some of his guesses.

There are a few other small bits of information which don’t add anything to the previous rumors from the site, but I won’t go into any detail of those here.

I guess it’s hard for me to provide any insight or analysis to these additional rumors because A, we can’t say for certain if there is any accuracy to them and B, because we simply don’t have the context required to piece all this together in any coherent way. I said in the last article I have doubts about how effective introducing a ‘new threat’ would be in the finale of a trilogy.

I also said I didn’t care for the idea of Sith troopers, but then I assumed like most this meant Force users, but the latest news appears to indicate this is not the case or if it is, no one knows. And with regards to the MacGuffin, without knowing anything about whether it is a place, a person or a thing, we can’t possibly fathom how effective it will be in the movie.

We promised any further updates, so here you go, but remember to treat this as a rumor only for now. To be frank, (your Majesty hehe) it is highly unlikely we will know much about the accuracy of some of these rumors until the movie releases. Tell us what you think in the usual place below.
