Rey is a natural magnet for convenience and coincidences while also being a conduit for ultimate power and knowledge. Yet they still try to claim this bitch ain't an ubermensch sue. Mark my words that in either this film, a novel or some shit from Pablo, they'll try to "fix" it by claiming that everything is convenient for her because she is actually the Chosen One, the Force incarnate or a conduit for where all life energy is filtered or some crap, a literal Force Goddess... As if that will fix her character.
Anyway I don't have any leaks, rumors or spoilers to share today. Nothing really of note other than the shit I posted on the last page which is probably one of the bigger leaks this month. All I do have to share is news about some new shitty toys and some critical commentary on some of TLJ's worst casino aliens.
1: For starters, here is a shitty Funko Pop leak (expect a Funko Pop cease & desist next to that Lego one, Null).

This seems to confirm the Sith Jet Troopers from a past leak and
the new black girl's Finn's sister's name is spelled "Jannah".
2: I just found out that the Black Series toy line released "glorious" figurines dedicated to honoring the Disney EU's most popular characters back in summer (guess news for it got overshadowed by Galaxy's Edge, as even youtube videos reviewing it barely brake past 4000 views). Its Space Aladdin, Doctor Fucking Aphra and Shadow the C-3PO... A few shits on reddit treated this as proof that they may be referenced in IX, like C-3PO being revealed to be his Shadow double, Dr. Aphra appearing as an old woman and Space Aladdin getting referenced via word of mouth, but that's just hopefully nu-fan optimism.

The faces on Aladdin and Aphra look pretty freaky tbh. There's also a fourth figure (pictured below) which is of Shadow the R2-D2, R2's evil counterpart and Aphra's other sidekick. The toys, like their comic counterparts, have some kind of Inspector Gadget hammerspace where they can pop out oversized weapons from their bodies, which can even include bazookas, missile launchers and swords. With Shadow 3PO being able to pull out sorts of weapons and goofy gadgets from his fingers somehow. Ironically for a comic that prides itself on violence and torture porn, there's really nothing violent in it or even instances of blood.

3: For anyone who's late to the thread and still wondering if Holdo broke the rules with her stupid suicide bombing tactic, Pablo Hidalgo "fixed" this, much like how he fixed everything else... He claims that Holdo's ship the Ruddus/Raddus/Radish/whatever had experimental deflector shields that were unstable which is what caused the big explosion and not just her ship, even though there's no way Holdo could've known that only the shields were the cause of it. Which is why we will never see it again... Supposedly.
4: Here's some Casino alien criticism with info on them courtesy of Pablo Hidalgo.
This is Slow Low. He's a member of Disney's obnoxious new Abdenowhatever species that appear fucking everywhere now and has been replacing species like Ithorians, Rodians, etc. According to Pablo Hidalgo, he's one of the richest (if not THE richest) creatures on the planet because he sold crappy driftwood sculptures to all the rich assholes and royalty on the planet.

He has been used as some sort of mockery towards Shia LeBouf, with some sites calling him the Shia LeBouf alien or some other jokes about being from planet cuckshed or something.
This is Loatha Sofamover. Its female and obviously a Hutt donut steal (there's a second Hutt donut steal in the casino who I've talked about before like 100 pages back) but true to Disney she's not actually a Hutt. The key difference between her and a hutt is that she has 3 fingers instead of four, a smaller face and for some reason she have several toes growing out of her sides. They're just there because they thought it would look cool. She rides around on a "hover bed" that has wheels...

Ultimately her scene and that of the other Hutt donut steal was deleted but shown in the Bluray release.
The other Hutt donut steal was this guy called Ganna the Whippomorn, the crime lord of Canto Bitemyass. Four fingers, slug-anatomy, speshul title, majority of the species being well known crimelords, super fat, eats frogs, lays around all day, etc etc.

His scene was ultimately deleted due to something about the ugly horse deers not looking right when they invaded his spa. His concept art called him King 12.
This is Villa Tenders. Its just a giant hooked nose on a woman's body who was a super rich princess of a sacred planet that received rich tribute for no reason and she did not approve of unworthy lesser races looking upon her beauty.
Disney, this clearly gross antisemitic caricature of yours will not go unnoticed by the ADL! Shut it down at once!

Strangely, her original concept art had a significantly less hideous design where her head was less nosey and she looked like a Krullian, a deleted alien from Genndy Wars.

For some reason, her concept art called her "Flatish 01" instead of king or queen.
I'll get to the remaining few in a bit.
Ah yes... IDW's Adventure comics. A small but barely significant improvement over Marvel's shit but cheaper to produce thanks to their cheap art. Marvel started outsourcing comics to them to save money. It's somewhat less woke than Marvel which is surprising considering IDW's reputation as of late, but its still shit regardless, especially in the art department. The upcoming comic you posted is about a giant alien eel monster that's supposed to pop up to attack them. The same creature is also appearing in BB-8's shitty youtube cartoon and has been hinted a lot in upcoming media for some bizarre reason. I'm also guessing the whole purpose of this comic is to "fix" Luke and Rey's interactions which is the only "worth" of this crappy spinoff material.

I don't get it. What's with this creature? Was it a deleted concept from TLJ they desperately want to see adapted or something?
