We’re still a long way fromStar Wars 9hitting theaters, but production is set to begin next month, which means that the scripts have been read or are in the process of being read at the moment. Now, a person who claims to know somebody at Lucasfilm has leaked out what sounds like an epic scene from the upcomingStar Warsmovie. As with all things that come from unnamed sources, we’re going to take this information with a grain of salt.
Reddit user 4LOM says that there’s a scene inStar Wars 9that featuresFinn, Poe Dameron, and Rose Tico. In addition, DJ is back in the fold and is apparently “just as shady as ever,” but he’s reportedly in deep with the Hutt family. The new leader of theJabba the Hutts' crime family is Rotta, Jabba’s son, and the new scene features the trio together, dining with the Hutt Cartel, which has been compared to the dining scene inThe Temple of Doom. It isn’t clear if they will be eating monkey brains inStar Wars 9though.
Finn, Poe, and Rose have some serious trust issues with DJ, which is pretty understandable after the stunt he pulled inThe Last Jedi.Star Wars 9is heavily rumored to have a time jump, so it appears that Finn and Rose are still holding a grudge about what DJ did, but Poe sees him as a “necessary evil.” The scene with everybody eating together ends abruptly when theFirst Orderstorms in, causing everybody to flee, including DJ with Finn, Rose, and Poe. That’s all of the information that has been released thus far, but if true, it sounds like an epic way to bring back the Hutt family into theStar Wars universe.
As previously mentioned, this is an unconfirmed rumor at this time. It’s still really early to be getting information like this aboutStar Wars 9, but the timing of the leak lends a bit of credibility. However, it should also be noted that J.J. Abrams has been known to purposely leak false information to throw fans off of his trail, which could definitely be the case here. Rotta Hutt coming on board does seem almost too good to be true. We’ll just have to wait and see.
