Rey, Finn, and Kylo on the Supremacy (Trailer Breakdown pt. 4)
I just realized that Finn and Rey might meet again sooner than I thought. Here’s how I got to that conclusion.
The Mysterious Bombing Scene
For a while I’ve gone back and forth about this scene description:
It’s using code names to protect TLJ secrets in case it ever got out (good thing, cause it did), but luckily they’re not the most cryptic codes in the world. ‘Cast 7′ means Rose Tico, played by Kelly Marie Tran - that medallion they mention probably means this:
A moon-shaped necklace that Tran has described as “definitely something that is significant to Rose’s backstory...It has significance that is, to me, something that means more than just what the object itself is.”
The ‘Grizzly’ means Resistance fighters. The affectionate ‘Sugar Cubes’ was used for Stormtroopers. According to extra reports, there were 5 Resistance Fighters and 22 Stormtroopers on set.
So what does ‘100 Acre Wood’ mean? All the rumors surrounding this ‘100 Acre Wood’ suggested that it was a code for a new ‘Mega Star Destroyer.’ I thought this was more figurative than literal, and it meant a Star Destroyer that was huge. Because of this, I thought that ‘100 Acre Wood’ could have been one of the new dreadnought Star Destroyers.
But it turns out ‘Mega’ is a real class of ship, and there’s only one ship that fits this mega description.
The Supremacy
This is Snoke’s ship in The Last Jedi. His throne room is located here:
(Yes, that’s General Hux.)
And it’s where Kylo Ren is taken after the events of The Force Awakens. It’s also where Rey will eventually be taken in TLJ:
Need a bit more proof?
Look at that diagonal wall to Kylo’s left, then at the same wall right behind Phasma. This is the same location.
This means that Finn, Rose, DJ, Kylo Ren, Rey, Phasma, Hux, and Snoke are all passengers on the same ship at one point or another; maybe even at the same time.
The Supremacy Hangar
Wow it looks like that Supremacy hangar is trashed. One would even go so far as to guess it was......bombed.......by the Resistance.
There’s more shots of this location too!
From the behind the scenes reel, Phasma approaching with regular troopers as well as her personal guard, the Executioners.
It almost looks like there could be at least........22 of them.
The Reunion
The Finn/Phasma duel scene matches the description I was talking about. It takes place at a climax in Rose and Finn’s journey, so probably near the end of the film. Rose and Finn enlisted the help of DJ to sneak on board the dreaded First Order Supremacy, and now they’ve snuck several Resistance fighters on board to blow the place up. But Phasma and her army isn’t giving up, and it’s up to Finn to fight his nemesis off!
Meanwhile, elsewhere on the ship, this is happening:
Rey has also been taken onto the Supremacy, and she’s in the middle of a heated conflict with Supreme Leader Snoke. The next bit is less clear cut, but in the midst of the havoc wreaked by the Resistance, Finn and Rose somehow find each other, because soon after we get this:
A shot from the Behind the Scenes reel of Daisy and John (Rey and Finn) on the planet Crait. How else would this happen other than by them meeting again on the Supremacy and escaping to the nearest planet - Crait?
There’s still some questions - what happened to Rose and DJ? - but it provides a lot of insight into the timeline and the conflict that we’re gonna see in Episode VIII. Is there anything I missed or any cool implications this might have? Let me know! I’m more excited than ever for The Last Jedi to hit theaters on December 15.
