Yes, but not because you have any special insight or predictive ability. You threw out wild speculation and Abrams found something crazy enough to get butts back in seats. That’s all.

No, his arguments are ridiculous enough to be dismissed on their own, regardless of his personality.

Mattris is all talk. He's NEVER going to give us his predictions or he would have by now. 
 
He's been wrong about so much, I can't take any more of his predictions seriously. 

Oh, I do have a sense of humor. But what I'm here for is certainly not "pedantry". Over the last 4+ years on this forum, I've been redefining Star Wars and been proven right time and again when almost everyone doubted and made fun of me.
 
What have you done?
 
If you won't answer my latest round of pointed Star Wars questions, I will safely assume your would-be answers are... unflattering.
 
Those in the know 

They hate and love Lucas, as they hate and love themselves.

If what I have discovered and deduced is truly intriguing... if not, convincing, I doubt those who read it would ever be able to disregard or forget it.
 
If it turns out to be a correct analysis - that I predicted what has happened... and what will happen as the story officially continues and concludes - would you regret having advised me to go all the way?
 
Although the masses would be impressed with my observational and theorizing abilities, I'm sure many people would not like that I shared so much spoiled it all.

In this connected world, we all know it doesn't work like that. Word would get around after the big channels/websites picked it up. To any Star Wars fan, the substantive contents of this post would be unavoidable.
 
The vast majority of it would be comprised of literal excerpts from Star Wars canon. The TL;DL summary would be a single paragraph.

Guys, it was all planned from the start!
 
 

I don't see any reason to buy this if you have the digital release. 

Argh.
 
If the last two posts are any indication of the Crystal Skull lovefest that this thread will become, then I'll do with it the same thing I do with most Star Wars threads: just ignore it.
 
KOTCS is one of the least deserving movies of the "actually, it's underrated" treatment.

Doomcock (Overlord DVD who is their main and only source) has been peddling the narrative that Kathleen Kennedy is the root of all evil in Lucasfilm so I'd take that with a dumptruck of salt

I used to teach a domestic violence rehabilitation program. It was my father-in-law's class, a former abuser himself who devoted his every waking moment for 30+ thinking about how and why people abuse, and refining his program until it had THE lowest recidivism rate of any program in the country. And you know what? Every singe week we would get new guys in who were convinced, within the first week or two of a six-month program, that they knew more than him, and that they alone were the geniuses who were going to bring the logic of this course crashing down.
 
There are people on some other forums I frequent, who have been thinking about and watching Star Wars longer than you've been alive. I myself have been doing so for over twenty years, but yes, you are the beautiful mind who thinks more deeply, more profoundly, more insightfully than anyone else. You alone have sussed out the hidden palaces of complexity and nuance. Clearly, we are all fools.
 
If we give you a trophy for winning, will you go away? I have a JarJar lollipop from 1999. It's yours.

what a terrible day to be literate

Are you talking about me?  😁
 
 
 
 
Maybe not yet, but everything in the canon says there will be. My prediction is that it's already prepared and will be released as a big surprise. Mark my words as someone who fully understands SW. 
 
If LFL says there are no plans for a box set, they are obviously lying. The clues are in John William's themes and the ST-era novels.  
 
If you doubt me, you are gravely mistaken and are being played for fools by LFL. 

They gave 1-9 a name so they could sell a boxset and so they could move on to other projects and away from the ST.

It was also dismissed because it's fucking stupid. 
 
 
 
 
Not even at Mattris?
Ok. Fine. 

This thread lives on?  😄😄😄
 
@Mattris, you are an insufferable know-it-all that doesn't know jack shit. 

Whether or not this is all a troll is beside the point (though, for what it's worth I don't think it's trolling, even if a lot of the "tactics" resemble it). The fact that people continue to give oxygen to this bin fire of a thread is the real concern - this whole thing is a microcosm for the chasm of reality occurring around the world at the moment, and the human compulsion to be entertained by it all. There are no universal truths anymore, shared belief in traditional evidence is disintegrating, the "online" and "real" worlds are becoming more and more detached etc. I decided years ago to no longer engage with Mattriss, but I now won't even be checking in on this thread. What was once amusing is now just more evidence of a troubling social phenomenon that I've been guilty of contributing to with my presence. I know this isn't an airport and I don't need to announce my departure, but for the sake of your own sanity folks, consider doing the same.

See, @Score? Classic troll playbook. I agree that he'd need to have a pretty strong grasp of logical fallacies to hit so many of them so hard, though. (Not to mention some pretty strange priorities, to put it charitably. Imagine wasting so much time and energy on this …)

Of course you are, because you know without that you have nothing.
 

Are we just going to ignore that Luke and Leia tongue-kissed in Empire Strikes Back...twice

Mattris' Meltdown, 2023, colorized 

Y'all, the odds that this isn't a troll job are, like … smaller than a cat turd's midi-chlorian count. 

Was it, though? When Disney bought LF, we all knew they were going to milk the franchise to the bone, including making a bunch more movies. If Disney had not bought LF, do you think someone else would have made the films instead?
 
The shoot for VII was April 2014-Nov 2014
VIII was Feb 2016-July 2016
IX was Aug 2018-Feb 2019
The shoot was not 'long', and it was 'rushed' because they had the least time to make it, and there were several rounds of re-writes and re-shoots.
You are saying while it took 8 months to film TFA, and 6 months to film TLJ, they somehow filmed two entire movies in 7 months?
 
And you dont see an issue with dismissing evidence contrary to your position as 'purposefully misdirection' "George Lucas is lying" "Mark Hamill is lying" "Gary Kurtz is lying" "Rick McCallum is lying" "JJ Abrams is lying" "Daisy Ridley is lying" "Bob Iger is lying" ....... "George Washington is lying".  Yet, holding things like the RotS novelization saying "One's true plans", Anthony Daniels being confused about IX's ending, Alec Guinness saying decades ago "Its been done with great taste and imagination. There's something more to it" as conclusively confirming your theory?
 

"The Emperor's theme" is used to represent the Dark Side of the Force, not just Palpatine. Its use in AOTC after the Tusken slaughter has nothing to do with Palpatine. It just represents the Dark Side in Anakin. 
 
In other news, Yoda's theme is used in Cloud City because Boba Fett is actually Yoda in disguise.
