So the last installment of the Skywalker saga will have no Skywalkers????

Noop! Like it or hate it...you are your fathers son! And this comes from a guy whose real dad was as sack of cunt knuckles! Not to mention he ain't even Ben solo anymore LOL! Square with it froggy...the last Skywalker episode won't have any connective tissue to its name sake...once again...unforgivable!

She won't necessarily. One theory is that they'll kill her between films and open IX with her funeral. I think that'd be a nice way to do it. No CGI recreation as they've said, no dreaded recasting, keeping her alive but explaining her off-screen activities would feel too forced. I think opening with Leia's funeral would be a nice way to acknowledge the actress's death, and the fact that it changed the trilogy's intended outcome, and let everyone mourn her for a moment, then continue. It's a bummer that after seeing VIII, I do more fully buy into the theory that they were planning on VII being Han's movie, VIII Luke's, and IX Leia's, which obviously can't happen that way. If they'd only known.

Oh I am certain his ghost will appear...and thanks to Rains new view of force ghosts...I may even get to see him wield an actual real life lightsaber!!! But let's be honest...Luke will show up in an homage cameo, much like obi wan in Jedi, pat Rey on the back for rebuilding the Jedi order...or whatever they decide to re-name them...and that's it for the Skywalkers! So I guess you're right...they will be in there...from a certain point of view 🤐

As for Leia...my guess is that 9will take place a few years in the future...and we will get a Martin Brody style statue or maybe a ship named in her honor...perhaps even a half baked backstory of how she died heroically?

Or maybe still...my worst fear will be realized and they have no intention of even including the Star Wars equivalent to a tounge kiss from ones sister...the force ghost fan pacifier...hate to sound so negative...it's not in my nature, especially where Star Wars is concerned, but TLJ is testing my usual optimistic outlook.

You missed the last two words!

Yeah, that always bugged me. It was needless pandering.

Well, Leia did send the message to Obi-Wan via R2 in ANH, in which she talks about him serving with her father in the clone wars. So she clearly trusted and respected him, and probably knew he was a Jedi from her father (Bail Organa). For her, Kenobi was a war hero and close associate of her father (i.e. Bail). Given all that, I don't see it as unreasonable that she'd think of him when deciding on a name for her son. It seems unlikely to me that she'd choose Anakin, even though that was the name of their youngest child in some of the EU novels. They could have gone with Jacen Solo I suppose (also one of their children in the EU). I'm fine with Ben.

Jabba Solo, maybe?
