One thing I've noticed is how furious the leaks have been regarding Episode IX.
It seems that JJ has all but abandoned his mystery-box. And Star Wars secrecy was tight as a drum even before JJ came around. It sure seems like Disney is allowing these leaks in order to try to get fans to come back to the table.
I mean, Mike Zeroh is posting like 3-4 different leaks a DAY now. There's no way this info gets out without Disney allowing it to get out.
Eh, Mike Zeroh I suspect is just taking advantage of Darth Johnson having a sufficiently fragile ego to insult him by name on his Twatter account and thereby generated a lot of interest for the guy.
Zeroh is not some Deep Throat source, a huge quantity of his pre-Last-Shitpie videos are cringingly inaccurate in retrospect. The guy suffers from serious Youtube Diarrhea.
That said, Disney does seem to be dropping more leaks of the cast than anything else. Mark Hamill is basically coming back - shame on him - we know about Billy Dee Williams, Ewan McGregor is supposedly coming back for Obi-Wan scenes, and we have Keri Russell being cast in order to capture the all-important
Felicity fans demographic.
This is just to try and cast the net as wide as possible. They've finally figured out that:
(1) Daisy Ridley can't act
(2) Oscar Isaac's role was a misfire and it's too late to make him the protagonist
(3) John Boyega can't do much but seethe and do Lawsadaisy comedy
(4) Adam Driver is unmasked-Deadpool-unattractive to look at even with his shirt off and he has the Force power of drying vaginas out wherever he goes.
(5) Domnhall Gleeson can't attract anyone because nobody likes gingers.
Hence the call out to the original
and prequel trilogies for backup. They know it's fucked.
Remissas, discite, vivet.
God save us from people who mean well. -storm
