    Not too spoilery. Nothing in here that I hadn't already heard before VII came out. (Ford was initially announced as having signed on for all three films -- presumably there will be some flashbacks featuring Han?)

    I like Gugu Mbatha-Raw and am interested to see what kind of character she'll end up playing.

    Maybe they'll focus on Benicio's character instead of Snoke.

    (Snoke kinda fuckin' sucks.)

    I see no Kylo Ren.  I'm not sure that's a bad thing.  I liked the character but Adam Driver seemed a little too lanky hipster for my liking in a dark side villain.

    You're right, I don't see him in the "returning section."

    I sincerely hope Adam Driver comes back, even if it's not in this episode. I thought he gave one of the best performances of The Force Awakens, if not the best... and there's got to be some kind of resolution to his arc.

    I'm thinking his exclusion from the list might be an oversight, misdirection, or something. At least, I really hope so. The amount of work they put into the character suggests to me that they can't really just drop him. Maybe he takes a movie off while Kylo trains up with Snoke (ugh) or something?

    I liked Darth Woobie too. That part could have been ridiculous but he pulled it off.

    Casey G. Driver had the advantage of having viewed a great example of how badly the idea of an insecure, emo "Darth Woobie" can go -- Hayden Christensen showed exactly how not to do it. "See this guy? Don't be this guy."

    I really liked Ren and I have a feeling he'll be back in 9.

    From Wikipedia (emphasis mine):

    "Kennedy announced on December 17, 2015 at the London premiere for The Force Awakens that the entire cast would return for Episode VIII: "There will be a handful of new cast members in Episode VIII but also all the cast members you see here tonight will be in it as well", therefore also confirming Adam Driver, Lupita Nyong'o, Domhnall Gleeson, Carrie Fisher, and Daisy Ridley reprising as well."

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
