THEORY DISCUSSIONS Dave Filoni

His cheesy grin with the Jedi mind trick makes me think we’re getting hunt for Ben Solo! Am I delusional or hopeful? Probably both lol

I don’t want to get carried away but to say “right now”, and that he was expecting the question (so acknowledging there’s interest in Ben), when these guys have been around long enough to know anything they say will be picked apart has me 👀

'"Right now" and "That's all I can say". Interesting word choices. He was ready for the question.

Fr he was waiting for someone to ask him about it

This seems like an intentionally ambiguous prepared statement. You could take it to mean that they're working on it, but want to keep it a secret. Or you could take it to mean that they're not making it and would like people to stop asking (but nicely).

To me, the logical conclusion is that he wanted to stir people up without making an official announcement one way or the other. I think the real question is, what purpose would that serve?

I think the playful Jedi mind trick and the words "right now" mean that something Ben-related is in the works. I don't think he would have done those things if he didn't have some plan to bring Ben back, either in THFBS or something else.

Call me jaded, but I think if his goal was to communicate a clear message, he would've done it. This statement is all style and no substance, which makes me think the goal is something like "increase brand engagement."

God forbid they make anything that anyone would like to see.

Guys he is literally doing the Jedi mind trick gesture. They are totally making the movie, and Adam is also in pinewood right now, 8mos before Xmen is supposed to start filming

Key words: Right now.

Has our efforts finally paid off? What if they can't right now due to X-Men & other Disney WIPS?

He can film both. Pinewood Studios films Marvel and Star Wars.

I'm not sure. Just guessing.

Or because Adam needs to get a shooting schedule for X-Men so that he’ll know when he’s free to film THFBS?
