Its fairly widely assumed that Sheev is Anakin's force daddy because the nu-EU heavily implied he used the force to impregnate Shimi
...yeah.
Thus Rey would be the cousin of Luke and Leia and first cousin once removed of Kylo Ren.....or something... I dont know and cant be bothered to find out
EDIT: MFW im force-fuckin yo mama

Its beautiful. Even Google drones are divided.
Also IMDB put the score back up, it went from around 8 to 6.8.

That's pretty much the gist of it. Anakin/Vader is Kylo's grandpa and Rey's uncle in nu-canon.

It's out in China for two days but it's already looking like a disaster, best case it can maybe manage to make 45-50% of what TLJ made in china

The horrors of a clone war is that your life is a lie, you're even more disposable than normal soldiers and you have no hope of a normal life after the war's won, if you win in the first place. Blade Runner 1 & 2 start to touch on these themes from a civilian angle, but this would do very well for today's zeitgeist in my opinion.
Actually has happened twice before that I've seen; Once when the ProJared thread was opened in May which was 100 pages on the first 3 days(still not sure why) and again when Zoe Quinn drove Alec Holowka to suicide over Labor Day Weekend 2019, spiking her existing thread activity by about 100 pages that holiday weekend.

Thank goodness China didn't fall for Disney Wars.
Even with what I've said before, there's still a chance it might break a billion depending on the factors at hand, but I doubt it'll beat TLJ and I'm still open to the idea of it underperforming or horribly underperforming. Just gonna post some box office numbers about TFA, RO, TLJ and Solo for comparison and because I think its interesting.
TFA grossed $2,068,223,624 worldwide. Half of that ($936,662,225) came from the US alone. While the other half ($1,131,561,399) came from foreign markets. The biggest sources of foreign cash being (in order of highest gross to lowest) the UK, Germany, China, Japan, France and Australia, with the first three coughing up over $100mil, with the UK in particular coughing up $163mil, Japan coughing up $97mil, France $88mil and Australia $67mil. Meanwhile the rest of the world gave less than 30mil or less than 5mil. All in all, no other country gave as much money to the film as the US. Now we divide said profit up by 2, since at least half of the profit (technically more than that but we'll just stick with 2 for convenience) has to go to the distributors, cinemas, foreign distributors and tariffs, making the actual profit for the film something around or less than $1,034,111,812.
RO was also able to break 1 billion ($1,056,057,273), with half coming from the US and the other half from foreign markets. Much like TFA, the majority of the film's gross came from the US ($523,879,949) while other individual countries gave less than 40mil (minority) or 9mil (majority), except two countries, the UK and China, with the UK coughing up $81,432,097 and China coughing up $69,484,899. Now we divide the profit of the film by 2 for those pesky fees, which leaves the actual gross at $528,028,637.
Then comes TLJ with a gross of $1,332,539,889 worldwide. A drop of $735,683,735 from TFA but an increase of $276,482,616 from RO. Much like with TFA, around half of the budget came from the US ($620,181,382), while the other half came from foreign markets ($712,358,507), a noticeable drop of around 300mil in both areas when compared to TFA. China has lost interest by this point, coughing up only $42mil initially which was then followed by a drastic drop in interest in the following weeks of the film's release. Many other countries saw a notable dip with most giving around only 10mil or around 1mil. But like with TFA, the biggest sources of cash were once again (in order of highest to lowest) the UK ($111mil), Germany ($83mil), Japan ($66mil) and France ($64mil). But all of this pales to the amount given by the US which once again was the biggest cashflow for the film. Now we divide, leaving the actual profit at around or less than $666,269,945.
Finally, here's Solo with a gross of $392,924,807, the second most pisspoor performance of any SW after the Filoni Wars movie from 2008. The US was the largest source of cash at only $213,767,512, an extremely drastic drop from previous films despite always being the biggest source of cash. Individual countries in the foreign market all gave less than 20mil (minority) and 4mil (majority). The UK was once again the biggest source of cash but only at $25,840,047. And the usually recurring Japan coughed up only $18mil. Germany was once again #3, but only at $17mil. China gave $16mil. France barely even bothered this time, barely breaking $10mil. Since the film didn't even break 800mil, it doesn't need to give much to distributors and whatnot.
In short, the biggest and most consistent source of cash has been the US, UK, Germany and Japan. China's casual audiences never gave a shit when compared to Avengers or Disney's shitty remakes. However, there is an SW community in China, but they're like D&D or Trekkies fans who, despite being a large community of their own, their interests aren't really popular with the Zhengchang of China (normalfag in Chinese apparently) and their interests only occasionally align when its trending, much like with Trek. Casual audiences didn't like Finn (and later Rose) and they didn't really find much appeal to the new movies for various reasons, and the SW cliques over there didn't really care for TFA nor Disney's new characters due to mostly being old school fans.
For those interested in finding out more about what Chinese SW nerds do all day, here's a link:
Most of what they do is shitpost and complain about Disney. This thread in particular is one where they analyze and review the new Disney books. In short, from what I can tell, they're saying they enjoyed the new Thrawn books but that they are pretty unfulfilling when compared to the original Thrawn books. They also talk about the "bitterness" and shittiness of the new Disney EU, particularly the "Wendy trilogy" (Chuck Wendig) which are a "slag" (渣), and that Disney's new media doesn't live up to the old, calling it a "History of Bitterness". Discussions about Disney stuff usually get zero replies: http://www.starwarschina.com/thread-45374-1-1.html Apparently it seems to have killed activity a bit due to how rampant it is. In the end, Disney failed to attract Chinese SW fans because they wanted EU movies.苦涩的新正史最佳小说——《索龙》新三部曲读书笔记 - 综合讨论区 - 星球大战中文网 Star Wars China - Powered by Discuz!

Anyway, if the US doesn't give even half of what it usually does (and it might not considering they went from 900mil to 600mil to just 200mil) then this movie is screwed and no amount of foreign aid can save it. At best I can see the US (if there's no boycott or too much indifference) giving as much as 300mill or close to 400mil, but if something unexpected like say a beloved actor dies or some big "hype" is revealed, then this movie might make 500mil or more in the US.

I'm not sure if my earlier gross estimates were low enough. I initially guessed ~835 million, revising that to an optimistic low of 550 mil.

I dont know, this looks like he is just corrupting a baby already in the womb. Like he somehow knows its the chosen one, so he just corrupts it with "the force" if you know what I mean. The palpatine is his dad sounds really fucking retarded, and my explanation is BETTER!Its fairly widely assumed that Sheev is Anakin's force daddy because the nu-EU heavily implied he used the force to impregnate Shimi
...yeah.

Look how genuinely excited people were to see Jedi back in 1983. It's upsetting to see how far this series has fallen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6ODqcl1WxE

No it was just Palpatine under Disney. Plagueis doesn't do anything in Disney canon (he might as well not exist now). Palpatine just force fucked Shmi with his Force dick with no clever sith rituals or any intense research involved. Hell he might've physically fucked her for all we know since the only thing that comic makes clear is that Palpatine impregnated Shmi somehow.

Mauler will start writing? Oh good, I can expect his first video about TROS in 2022 at the bare minimum and be part 1/7. By the time my grandchildren are in the grave he will finally have an AI finish his dissertation on TROS.

Pretty sure thats supposed to be an ironic echo of what shimi said in TPM, all the "mystic" dialogue in this secne is just quotes from the movies.
If he was "magically corrupting him in the womb" then that kinda defeats the whole point of him slowly corrupting him after meeting him in TPM
