TROS MASSIVE SPOILERS - READ AT YOUR OWN RISK
I've been sitting on this for a while but after today's footage and corroborating it with three sources, I feel confident in sharing. I cannot answer any questions. Read at your own discretion. All will be revealed in time. Lucas helped with the scenario of the film and has been more actively involved in Disney Star Wars (visited D & D during Games Of Thrones 3-4 times during filming).
Also posted to:
• vgculturehq.com Rise of Skywalker Plot • August 24 2019
• Rey kills Kylo Ren.
• Rey and Kylo have a final confrontation during which Ben Solo turns back to the light.
• Rey does not believe in Ben Solo's turn so she kills Kylo Ren.
• Luke in the flesh.
• Chewbacca dies.
• The last shot is at the Lars homestead with a Binary Sunset or Binary Sunrise reflecting the film's title "Rise of Skywalker"
• The heroes in the film are on a quest to find an ancient Sith Dagger, which is actually The Dagger of Mortis. What it is called this in the film is unknown. The Dagger is the key to freeing an ancient evil and has an inscription that pre-dates any language known in the Galaxy. This evil is The Son, played by Matt Smith. It is unknown whether Smith is called The Son. This was Lucas' original plan in his treatment for the Sequel Trilogy with direct references to The Clone Wars. It will be made accessible to the general audience.
• A major aspect of the early part of the film is attempting to decipher the text. C-3P0 attempts to read an inscription on the Dagger yet cannot read it due to his programming. 3P0's eyes turn red and it takes them to the Second Death Star on Endor and a device of the Emperor's. This device - with the dagger as its key, opens a portal to what is The World Between Worlds from Star Wars Rebels, where The Son is trapped, waiting to be released. The World Between Worlds will be made accessible to the general audience and maybe called something else.
• The Son is freed with the Dagger of Mortis, the one thing that can destroy him.
• The Son's been pulling all the strings and everything has led to this moment. The First Order, Snoke, Ben's fall, Luke's exile - everything.
• The Son takes on the form of Palpatine and Rey, among others.
• Rey's vision of her Sith self was in fact a vision of The Son in the future taking on her form.
• The Jedi Texts are what directed Rey to the ancient evil: The Son.
• The Jedi had vague records on Mortis and The Father, The Son and The Daughter in the Jedi Temple independent of the first Jedi Texts from Ahch-To.
• Rey is Han and Leia's daughter and Kylo Ren's sister.
• Rey is given Han Solo's audio diary.
• Harrison Ford recorded dialogue.
• Kylo and Rey independently find their way to the Death Star.
• Kylo shows Rey his vision of her parents.
• The true twist though is that her "parents" aren't truly Rey's parents.
• Rey was given away in order to protect her since the adoptive parents were murdered by the Dagger.
• During their "Force Bond" - Rey has a vision of herself as a Sith.
• Rey and Kylo fight on the ruins of the Death Star.
• This could be where the Forceback Fight begins - the twist being Rey and Kylo are actually traveling through both space and time.
• Nothing is changed - Rey & Kylo do not interact with past events however events from the Prequels and the Original Trilogy are seen in the background.
• Rey, Kylo and even the Force Ghosts join to defeat The Son.
• The final shot of the film - The Skywalker Saga - is of the Binary Suns of Tatooine.
• Lucas did not write the script by any means but had a significant role in molding the scenario for key sequences in the film.
• Re-created Alec Guinness maybe used like Tarkin in Rogue One.
• Hayden has filmed scenes.
• The Son is the villain.
• Matt Smith plays The Son.
• The Son can take the form of anyone and is the ultimate tempter. This is key.
• This will be explained by way of the ancient texts. They're essentially being used as a narrative and plot device.
• Two children - boy and girl - same age, were cast.
• Presumably this is from a forceback of Ben Solo and Rey as children.
• This doesn't necessarily fit the canon, however JJ Abrams and the Story Group do not care for one another and he ignores them, so it maybe a retcon.
• Rey and Ben Solo are twins. Rey was frozen in some manner and didn't age - hence the biological age difference.
• Kira - a name from Lucas' drafts for the Sequel Trilogy of Luke's Apprentice, is Rey's birth name.
• The last shot of the film is Rey on Tatooine at the Lar's Homestead, reflecting on her journey with a Binary Sunrise mirroring Revenge Of The Sith, hence "Rise" of Skywalker.
• The intent was the Saga ends where it began.
• The World between Worlds and The Whills.
• Contractually Disney cannot touch the first six films; they can make us view the old films in a different way though.
• The alleged "Forceback Fights" are not what you think they are or as they have been described.
• Matt Smith's role is significant yet still not listed. Identity is top secret.
• There's a reason why Hayden Christensen has been at the last two Celebrations.
• Alec Guiness.
• Snoke does have a true identity yet no one has guessed it.
• Kylo Ren is not the villain of the story.
• The main villain is connected to the Star Wars lore. (hint: They are beyond Sith and Jedi.)
• The villain has a very specific vendetta against the Skywalker lineage.
• Rey's parentage is central to the story.
• Rey's biological age is not her true age. Her real name is not Rey.
• Rey's "fall" is somewhat of a misnomer.
• Luke has a fight scene - in the flesh - which is a scrapped concept from Return Of The Jedi with Ben Kenobi.
• The longest Star Wars film.

Some of this is a bit too vague for me to comprehend. It sounds like retcon even though the post explicitly says "no retcon."
The only characters I can think of that are beyond Jedi or Sith are the Mortis gods. Are you saying that Matt Smith is the Son?
Anakin did wreck the Son's party. So, it makes sense that the Son would want to spoil Skywalker's lineage.
BTW: The site below picked-up ki adi's post as an "exclusive," which is a charming move. Is mf.com really "infamous" like the article's author states?

These spoilers sound credible, especially with George involved and his role in TCW and possibly Rebels with Filoni.
I also find the emphasis being given to Palpatine's involvement in this film a red herring (remember John Harrison in STID).
Maybe the Gods of Mortis are the Wills and the Skywalker family has been oppressed by The Son (Matt Smith) all this time as he was responsible for Anakin's conception.
Maybe Kenobi and the Daughter (possibly also played by Keri Russel) are responsible for the conception of Rey as a counterpoint to Anakin.
If the finale occurs in a place like Mortis everyone can be manifested back to life somehow (Maul, Dooku, Palps, Mace, QGJ, Yoda, etc) for the final battle.
This all jives with the early drafted endings of ROTJ when Yoda and Obi re-emerged in the flesh to help Luke.
Wow, I'm intrigued again!
If it's really good they should retcon TLJ.
Posted: August 25th 2019 1:37 am
Hence the leak I have about Luke fighting in the flesh, which was originally what was supposed to happen in ROTJ with Obi-Wan helping him. You can probably figure out the true enemy and Snoke's identity if you really think about it.
Lucas and Filoni came up with the WBW together, but, it was sheleved for TCW and then it was canceled. So Filoni put it in Rebels. The reason we haven't seen anything from TCW, from what I hear, is because it would give away some points from Episode 9.
TLJ for all intents and purposes is retconned and while the final cut isn't done yet I'm hearing two hours 45 minutes roughly. They're basically doing two films in one.
"Dark Rey" is...I don't know specifics but it is NOT what we think. My speculation is that it similar to what happened to Ahsoka or Anakin on Mortis. The Jedi texts are a narrative tool to explain a lot of things people would not know if they didn't see rebels or TCW.
Lucas visited DnD 3-4 times while they were filming GoT Season 8, not just once. They were writing it while shooting GoT which infuriated GRRMartin. This is why GRR literally wants to destroy their career. Lucas had a much bigger role than people think. JJ asked for his help. It was actually a healthy collaboration.

Wow - there is a strong resemblance between the two. Since most are not aware of The Clone Wars, I assume that there is a lot of in-move explaining. J.J. can't pull a Maul like Solo.

Yeterday, Filoni refused to definitively answer whether Clone Wars characters will appear as live-action characters in the future.
Does Palpatine redeem himself in the TROS (see 30 second mark)?

Cool. Nothing really spoilery about those images though, just the usual and beautiful Star Wars visual poetry we've come to expect.
Bandersnatch wrote:
Only did it due to size!
More and more specific. Some things left out though on purpose.
The Son is the villain. This will be explained by way of the ancient texts. They're essentially being used as a narrative and plot device. Matt Smith plays The Son.
A toddler girl was cast. We already knew this. A toddler boy was also cast. Presumably, this is from a flashback of Ben and Rey as children.
This doesn't necessarily fit the canon, but JJ and the story group do not care for one another and he ignores them, so, it may just be a retcon. No idea how it fits but two toddlers, boy and girl, same age, were cast.
The Whills are important. They exist outside of time. They are the living Force, the will of the Force, and have shaped everything that has happened in the entire saga. The plane of existence they exist in is the world between worlds where they communicate with the force and observe the happenings of the Universe.
The Son can take the form of anyone and is the ultimate tempter. This is key.
Lucas did not write the script by any means but had a significant role in molding the scenario for key sequences in the film. Filoni, at D23 Expo, as noted, also refused to say if any TCW characters will appear in live-action films.
Hayden has filmed scenes. They may be using a re-created Alec Guinness like they did Tarkin in RO.
Rey and Ben are twins. She was frozen in some manner, didn't age, hence the biological age difference.
Kira, which is a name from Lucas' drafts for the ST of Luke's apprentice, is Rey's birth name.
Rey's turn is "complicated" and isn't a simple turn to the Dark Side. It's a bit of a misnomer, again.
The last shot of the film is Rey on Tatooine at the Lar's Homestead, reflecting on her journey with a Binary Sunrise mirroring ROTS, hence "rise" of Skywalker. Stanzas in a poem. Though this was the original concept, it could have been changed. The intent was the Saga ends where it began.
Take it as you will.

Told you all that Rey is a Skywalker. Lmao. I've been saying this since 2015. You guys were like noo but it's here now. Accept the truth.
rey looks like she's wearing snoke's ring. Sith Rey is a misnomer.

POOR writing if Matt Smith is "the Son" or whoeverdafuck that is...
you don't just introduce a brand new character that no one in the movies has ever mentioned, in the FINAL FREAKIN FILM and say, "yeah, he was the one behind it ALLLLLLL"
which is why this shit is probably true.

Yeah; most people will probably be scratching their heads. It's shame, because this could have been explored in some measure with the last two films. Oh well.
Coincidentally (or not), the OS has a feature on the "Overlords" (of Mortis) on its front page.
PointOfView wrote:
He's also integral to the mythology of the Force, which is what the ST was supposed to be about and is what Lucas was going to make the ST about. It's definitely a possibility and is VERY lucas-esque. Also, REY HAS THE JEDI TEXTS. I know, maybe lame, but they are probably a plot and narrative device when explaining this stuff.
The thing with Matt Smith's character could also be like the sequence with Luke killing Vader in ESB, Rey's underground hallucinations in TLJ or, as mentioned above, the Mortis episodes of TCW - A foggy, dream-like state, in which we are shown some deep, weird shit that we've never seen before, and which may never be fully explained.

OMG. I am so excited about this. I would be so happy if we got to see a Mortis connection. It looks like Dark Rey is on Mortis IMHO. I always thought her staff was going to end up being a blue/red double sabre, though...
And twins!? That is perfect. There has been a yin/yang component to the Rey and Kylo all long. Darkness and the light to meet it, each with a dollop of the other. HEY: Kylo has creepy feelings for his sister! LOL. A longstanding family tradition, it seems. Clearly it was not Kylo who stashed Rey in the sands, or he would know who she really is.
Daisy said she thought it was obvious who her folks were in TFA, and looking back now we have a paternal Han, connecting and trying to help her out, and a big hug from Mama, who of course would hug her daughter before Chewie ... right? So much makes sense if this is true.

Lucas has helped? Whatever happened to their "divorce"? JJ No Original Thought in His Head Abrams ran out of the OT movies to copy and had to run back to Papa George for help. They must have made a big donation to his museum. Maybe they should have listened to him more in the first place.

Dark Rey could be the Son in Rey's form. Remember, the Son morphed into Anakin's doppelganger in the "Altar of Mortis" (see below).
He also imitated Palpatine's voice, which may indicate that Palpatine is not in TROS. It's just the Son disguising himself as Palpatine for some nefarious purpose.

This is all a stretch. I don't buy them pandering to the fanatics. What percentage of those who will see this movie have any idea what Mortis is? The general audience wants vanilla ice cream...

He also visited Dave and Dan 4 times while they were filming GoT. This wasn't a social call and they were already writing their script.
If the treatment is correct, well, it matches up very nicely (the "ancient" evil) with what we have been given. I also think Dark Rey's saber is a sith artifact. Also Rey's original parentage. I really do think the treatment/original ideas are legitimate and now they've realized they screwed up so bad and JJ went to Lucas and already incorporated some things anyway so it may give away most of the plot for IX. Beware of that before reading. It doesn't have everything, just the Luke/Kylo/Rey/even Han stuff, but the original MSW article (which is linked in the article as the source) has the full bit. I just cannot stand Ward.
Now that I've gotten the Skywalker thing out of my system, I'd like to discuss the spoilers with you guys:
- I'm personally excited about seeing Darth Rey. It's an interesting direction for her to go in, Vision or not.
- I still think Palpatine may show up as a possible "Sith Ghost" that can possess people. Remember back to ROTS, Palpatine stated, "Master Plagueis learned the secret to cheat death." After Anakin replies, "what happened?" Palpatine replies, "his apprentice killed him in his sleep." You remember who was the apprentice? Yup, Palpatine. It's most likely Palpy here learned how to cheat death hence his return from beyond. Because why feature him prominently in all marketing materials up to now? Think about it. It's possibly a Sith ghost.
-The Han/Leia parentage makes sense. After all the saga was always about the Skywalkers.
-The Red Sith Trooper is an interesting take on the traditional Trooper. I wonder what will make him different from your standard trooper? I don't think they needed a Jet trooper, though. Not unless they found a way to clone Boba Fett. That's the only reason I can think why this version of Stormtrooper exists in this film.
-I'm glad Disney went to Lucas for help on the script because while I liked TLJ, it had some serious problems that Abrams had to deal with before writing the script.
-As for Solo, It was pretty forgettable for me. Not something I'd want to watch again. Kyle, Do what I tend to do - Forget that Solo ever existed and just go like this: ROTS>Kenobi>Rebels>Rogue One>A New Hope. In the grand scheme of things, you're not really missing much if you ignore Solo completely.
-I have seen the Clone Wars so if the whole Son thing ends up in the script, It's going to be an interesting subplot. Newcomers will be confused on why he's there and Most people cant be bothered to go back to review the TCW tv series. They'll be like huh?
-I like the idea of Rey going to the wreckage of the Death Star II to find something.
-Sith C-3P0 with the evil red eyes has me interested. It's a new twist on the C-3P0 mythology. I like it.

Freezus, I wish that I could forget Solo, BUT it was written by Kasdan.
"THE" Kasdan...!
That "meta" data - who wrote the film, and his huge significance on the Star Wars franchise - makes it impossible to just look over.
Besides, it is OFFICIAL canon.
That means that film is what was wanted by Disney.
And Mark Hamill is at it AGAIN. Prior to The Last Jedi, he gave so many "in your face" warnings to the public. Warnings that were SPOT ON. Recently, he stated that he HOPES not to have to do Luke again. Would the Mark Hamill of ten years ago ever believe that he'd find himself in such a position? That man CHAMPIONED Luke Skywalker for most of his life. For him to feel the way he does now, it's unthinkable. He's DONE.
If Hamill can't muster genuine enthusiasm for Ep. IX, why should we?
He criticisms were all On Target for Ep. VIII, and I have no reason not to trust his judgement now.

To be fair with you, Lawrence Kasdan is known for being a mediocre writer post ROTJ. He hasn't written anything good in the 80's and early 1990's. Even Lucas wanted Kasdan full knowing that he had a spotty writing record, to write TPM and Kasdan passed on it. Maybe it was a good thing considering how both TFA and Solo turned out. Lucas knew what Kasdan is really like without any oversight. I highly doubt Disney went to the Kasdans and told them hey make the Falcon a ship with a brain of a female droid. You should blame the Kasdans for that.
As for the "Canon" part... Remember for the last 20 years, Lucas claimed that he would never, ever release the original 1977 theatrical edition of the A New Hope and the 2011 "Special Edition" of the film was the only way to see Star Wars. What happened last month? Lucas overruled Disney and releases the pure, unaltered 1977 version of ANH to a theater for a limited time screening that also billed Rogue One. If Lucas can release the original 1977 edition of A New Hope, then he has the power to disavow Solo completely. Disney doesn't have the final say on everything much as people like to think. Lucas can and does have the power to strike Solo from the timeline.
As for Mark Hamill... you might wanna take a second look at Ki Adi's posts because... Mark/Luke is back for IX. Remember Ki Adi alluded to Luke having an epic lightsaber battle in this one IN THE FLESH. And this isn't the first time a cast member from the franchise has taken a shit on the franchise and still come back. See:
1978 - Alec Guiness shat on ANH, ends up coming back to do ESB and ROTJ.
2001 - Ewan McGregor made fun of the title for Episode II and mocked the "Attack of the Clones" title with Nicole Kidman after it was revealed. Guess what happened next? He came back to do ROTS and is now doing Kenobi. Also, Ewan now thinks Prequels was amazing.
Mark's gripes at the time of TLJ was minuscule. He knew he was coming back in IX anyways. You just can't kill off the face of Star Wars that most people have related to for close to 45 years. Mark Hamill IS the face of Star Wars. Kids still buy up ANH-era Luke Skywalker action figures to this day. In fact, If you ask anyone who comes to mind when it comes to Star Wars. The universal answer will almost always be Luke Skywalker. Mark isn't going anywhere as long he's still earning royalties from the Original Trilogy, TFA and TLJ.
Kyle you're missing something.
By folding in aspects of Mortis that doesn't necessarily mean they bring everything in the fold. The Son could merely be known as an ancient evil. they don't need to give his full history. if previous plot points from Lucas are true, and he DID plot quite a bit of the scenario for this film, he could be trapped like in the mortis arc and Kylo is trying to free him. him and rey fight. Rey's saber is key to opening whatever pandora's box there is (hence why it calls to her) because she is a "skywalker". she always was. Leia will give her her ring and Han's medal, though whether she's the one who tells her or she remembers her past is unknown by me. She is Han and Leia's daughter though, always was, even in what form she was in Lucas' original treatments.
One source independent of the other tells me mortis stuff is a strong rumor, though bringing it in is too complicated in its current form. I agree. But I know Palpatine is a misnomer. This ancient evil/The Son could be taking the form of Rey in a shocking moment. Rey does not turn. It could also be a "what if" scenario; this "ancient evil" trying to tempt Rey, showing her her past (a toddler who appears to be rey has been cast, we know this) and what would have happened if she grew up with her family. She has greater force potential than Kylo. She is on Anakin's level. Though NO RETCON TO THE CHOSEN ONE. Palpatine wanted to free this evil, that's how he's involved.
This is all part speculation, part what I've been told, but Palpatine is dead as a doorknob and not resurrected. Ian even said this. It would be so disrespectful to George and he was involved. I was told Snoke is actually this evil and the Ring symbolizes something, but I bet that's wrong. Snoke is gone. done. That was in early concepts before George came on.
Also george has been getting more involved. he met with D&D 4 times while they were writing SW while filming GOT. I have the dates somewhere. His legacy is being destroyed and he IS egotistical and even he said once all directors are narcissists. this is true. but his worldbuilding is what saves this film.
Matt Smith is the villain. Dark Force ghosts are possible, as that was somewhat an original Lucas concept that was scrapped at one point by JJ and Kasdan. They butchered aspects of TFA. It's unsure who threw his treatments out.
Anyway. Things are matching up and it's the only reason I came out to share. I wasn't going to tell anyone and just leave it to myself.
Thanks again for posting your info, ki adi moonshine.
Concerning "Vision-gate," the use of "vision" could be a grammatical choice rather than a spoiler. Per the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, vision means "something seen." The word "vision" was replaced with "sight," which doesn't change the meaning of the original sentence.
TLJ- running out of fuel
TRoS- mortis
Thats a huge jump for the average movie goer... I dont see it.

Did you read my post?
They may not even reference Mortis itself or the history of the Son. They could simply make it an ancient evil like in the alleged treatment by lucas for TFA (matches up with what Hammill said too about what the ST was about), and Kylo is now trying to free him to gain his power. The evil is The Son, but they don't need to go into depth.
Rey has the Jedi texts, that would explain what they'd have to explain, that's all that's needed. The Son is trapped, Anakin's lightsaber, The Chosen One's lightsaber, now held by his grandaughter, is the only thing that can free this monstrosity that would destroy everything. That is The Son in a nutshell and all people need to know. That is why Kylo screamed "THAT'S MINE!", though that is my speculation. As far as "vision" goes, The Son can take others' forms. So I think personally that Dark Rey is actually this evil taking on her form. But the way it'll be done will be shocking.
Ian already said Palpatine is dead dead dead. He wouldn't come back for some BS resurrection crap. That would ruin the OT. I just don't know how he fits. Maybe a holocron guiding Kylo to where the son is trapped.
Also, interesting, in TFA novel, when Rey gets the Saber, Kylo screams "IS IT YOU!?". Interesting. Also in the script Luke knew exactly who Rey was. it said so itself. This would work. And it's so Lucas. It doesn't retcon the OT/PT, which cannot be done legally. There's a reason why JJ went to Lucas for help. This is basically George's story.
RJ fucked things up bad. There's a video where someone asks JJ about TLJ and he gets all tense and doesn't even call it by name. it's so awkward.
I get it... but you are explaining it to a room full of people that understand. Thats a lot for a 3 hour movie to cover with only the movies as backstory. The macguffin has not been mentioned directly, only we are putting it all together. The saber was perfect to start... then TLJ literally tossed it aside.

Great stuff. While I would initially agree the "Mortis" concept is too heady for a general audience to appreciate, just including Bad Guy with backstory that can be explored later seems appropriate. The Force Awakens does establish Kylo as an artifact hunter. The Last Jedi is just a colossal mess that did not propel the characters toward any meaningful direction. Circling back around to the original idea seems appropriate, especially given that JJ is concluding "his" story.
Hokusai doesn't understand.
No Mortis backstory needed. They don't need to call him "The Son". He can have the look, the attitude, and all of his powers. They could allude to it subtely. We'll know, but regulars won't miss out if they don't know. If you cut that out it works perfectly.
Now as I'm looking at this stuff it's obvious around some time I was given some info that was disinfo to cover the person's tracks and some info I, right now, think is obviously true.
With Lucas' involvement this will work. The Son to everyone else will seem like a generic evil. We'll know his true terror, and then he'll SHOW his true terror, and Kylo Ren will wish he never got mixed up in this shit. And Palpatine and Dark Rey are probably visions from The Son; The Son turning himself into them because he can do that. This whole idea r/starwars and tf.n is trying to push that Palpatine resurrects inside of Matt Smith's body is so ludicrous it's laughable.

Remember Rey has the Jedi Texts too. I think that will explain things to the heroes and it will in general be outlined in the opening crawl. we'll learn more but only as much as we need to know, and that's the beauty of it IMO.
Also the lightsaber could still be the key to freeing this ancient evil, hence why Kylo screemed that it was his (not only as his birthright as Anakin's grandson, but as an artifact collector). This could all explain his artifact collecting and why he's so obsessed with it; it's not just about vader. It's so much more. And this wouldn't retcon the prophecy either so I'd be satisfyed with all of this.
Once again... I get it. We shall see if they go this route.
Looks possible Rey and the squad are on Yavin IV to stop Kylo Ren from "awakening" or contacting some evil via the Death Star

Thanks to Disney's gaff on their own Star Wars website, we now "know" (and honestly, who didn't see it coming) that "Darth Rey" is a VISION, ala what Luke experienced on Dagobah.
If even half of these leaks are partially true, then what we're looking at is a major retcon, and on a scale that'll shatter anything we've ever seen Hollywood diarrhea out in the past.
What that'll prove is that even Disney recognizes what an epic turd The Last Jedi was. Yes, oh diehard sheep, THAT IS WHAT IT WILL MEAN.
In the history of Hollywood, has there ever been a "gaff" of this magnitude before? Nope!
And don't ever let film history revisionists fool you - this was NOT a gaff. It was absolutely deliberate. And the audience's rejection of it is concrete and visceral.
There is no way, none, that they can fold in the Mortis material without simultaneously BLAZING to the audience the ham fisted machine of fixing Ruin Johnson's praised by Kennedy-Abrams-Hidalgo abomination. And that folks, will destroy ALL immersion.
And let's look at JJ Abrams' track record with being able to finish anything with any kind of convincing polish and panache. His track record? Abysmal. But don't give up hope folks! He's got a writer from BATMAN v. SUPERMAN to help save the day!!!
At a pivotal point in the film, Rey will be standing over Kylo's defeated form (again!), and he'll croak out "My mother's...name...is...LEIAAAAAA!" And simultaneously Rey will say the same, and then they'll be BEST BUDDIES. Just like that!
And Palpatine's massive hidden and "scary" fleet of star destroyers? How threatening can they be when all the Resistance has to do is slap a cheap "Watto-grade" hyperdrive and a mouse droid pilot onto asteroids and shoot them at light speed on the ships that are parked on the flank of each column, and thus having those ships' exploding guts take out dozens of the other star destroyers parked close by ala as seen in the brilliant The Last Jedi?
I'm certain to be sitting on the edge of my seat for that one!
I read and re-read those leaks, and it's just impossible.
And I can't even enjoy The Original Trilogy anymore, because in Solo, they went to enormous lengths to establish that the Millennium Falcon is a SEX SLAVE of Lando's!!!
HELL!!!!
So now what's the "proper" pronoun for the Falcon?!
Could you imagine even ten years ago having to entertain such thoughts about the Star Wars universe? Had I brought it up ten years ago, "Hey guys, I think that the Millennium Falcon should have the brain of a robot that Lando had hardcore sex with, and it'd be SO cool to then realize that all of our childhood heroes were WALKING AROUND INSIDE A WOMB! Whaddaya think guys?" I would've been RIGHTFULLY mocked and ridiculed for such grotesque stupidity. But here we are - with sheep ARDENTLY DEFENDING this putrid garbage!
Ep. IX is GOING TO SUCK.
In spite of Disney's pathetic efforts, IT WILL NOT HEAL ANY OF THE WOUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN ORCHESTRATED.
Disney DESERVES to crumble into the very sewage that it splatters out.
Oh god, please shut up. The vision thing was only changed because they knew people would go bonkers over it. You really think their webpage knows exactly what is going on with the movie? Give me a break with your trolling.
I agree with you. But what's weird is that the writer didn't issue any kind of editor's note, just edited it, which she KNEW was simply going to make people speculate even more. But maybe that's the point. Disney's propoganda arm and their marketing arm is much more sophisticated than you'd think.
Jason Ward is a part of this. Which is why he goes to all the premieres, shills so hard, and gets access. He used to post some scoops, but now it's few and far between and he'd never leak the entire thing, like he's saying he is now. It's a giant larp and full of so many self-contradictions. I do admit some of my info may be wrong or off, but I wouldn't post it here if I didn't privately speak to others who told me the same general thing without me revealing anything.
Read another big leak today totally different than this... we shall see.
MakingStarwars.net posted the below today. If all of the below is true (which it may not be), it doesn't negate ki adi's information.
Huge Rumors: Sith Knives Out! Rey's parents, Threepio's Red Eyes, Sith Rey, Wayfinders and more explained?
Unverified rumors that lined up with the D23 Special Look!
The recent D23 footage from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker opened up more questions for us fans than it answered. The "special look" footage lines up with a lot of rumors I had heard in the last year. Our recent story about the Sith Fleet lines up with what we saw in the trailer as well. The rumors below are pretty big and line up with the D23 Special Look footage.
Because of the level of verification I'm able to conduct at the moment, please classify all of this as rumor and not 100% verified information. That said, I have some confidence in the information or I wouldn't even bother writing this. The information in this news story sat beside information that panned out in the "special look" we had at D23. These could be inaccurate reports that line up with the footage perfectly but that seems somewhat unlikely.
Rey's First Scene in The Rise of Skywalker
More than one source that appears credible has noted that the film, as far as Rey is concerned, opens with her training in the woods by General Leia. With the edit not being finalized, we can only say Rey's story opens with her training being done with Leia. This has always made a lot of sense to me because if Leia had any cut lines about trusting your instincts and other fortune cookie type bits of wisdom, they could edited to make it seem as if Leia was training Rey in the film.
If the Glove of Darth Vader don't fit, you must acquit!
Before the trailer, we heard about See-Threepio's red eyes on Kijimi had a rather interesting connotation and twist to it. It involves a murder weapon, a dagger, and the ability to translate text on the murder weapon to move the plot further along.
A contact of the rebellion is killed and a dagger is found next to the body. The contact knows of the location of the Emperor's planet in the unknown regions. The dagger has a mysterious inscription on it written in Sith. The problem is no one can translate it, not even See-Threepio who is fluent in over six billion forms of communication.
Our heroes take See-Threepio to Kijimi because there he can be rebooted into a state that allows them to bypass his programming that doesn't allow him to translate Sith text. However, at first Zorii Bliss wants to capture them and turn them over to the First Order but has a change of heart. We supposedly learn that both Zorii and Poe smuggled…..and wait for it….snuggled together in the past and there was some romance there which might play into why she doesn't follow through with turning the heroes in (and we assume the Drax guy takes the opportunity Zorii passes up).
For his protection Threepio is backed up to Artoo-Detoo. As the golden translator begins to read the message on the blade, See-Threepio's eyes glow bright red. The Sith inscription is successfully decrypted. Something about the message points Rey to the Emperor's Wayfinder device on the moon of Endor. Kylo is in possession of Darth Vader's Wayfinder device. So while Kylo has Vader's Wayfinder, Rey is racing towards Palpatine's Wayfinder.
Sith Rey
After the business on Kijimi, Rey finds The Emperor's Wayfinder device on the Endor moon. When she touches it she sees herself as a Sith entering the Emperor's chambers. This allows Kylo to find her and he appears through what we believe to be the "Force Bond" established in The Last Jedi. So the rumor we heard on this is that Rey sees her evil self when she touches the artifact and the vision is disrupted by Kylo Ren and their "Force Bond."
Rey's Parents and the Sith Dagger!
Rey and Kylo have a Force confrontation. Kylo has desperately been searching for her. Kylo quickly turns the conversation to Rey's parents. He tells her he never lied to her. Everything he said was true but her parents sold her to keep her safe and used the money for drinks. Rey then sees the vision Kylo saw in The Last Jedi. However, the huge reveal is that Rey's parents are killed with the Sith dagger in her vision.
Rey becomes enraged and during the "Force Bond" and they begin to fight on the remains of the Death Star II. So this might shine a slightly different light on how the "Flash Fights" work. But I can't pretend to understand the rules of this with any authority.
Sith Knives Out
So there we have the rumors that lined up with what we saw in the D23 Special Look. There's a lot of really huge moments in here if these are accurate. I wish we could verify them. Sometimes the only way to get something verified or shot down is to introduce them into the discourse for fans to discuss. The implications that a Sith conspiracy has been behind Rey's life is rather interesting. We believe Rey is a product of Palpatine but we don't really know exactly what that means.
There's a lot of questions we have and we don't have all the answers. I hope the information presented here is accurate and it lines up well with various things we have heard and now seen in official footage. I wish I could say empirically how accurate these are. So please do not shoot the messenger if these are totally on and you don't like them or if they don't pan out. I figure most of you spoiler junkies would rather read these than have them die in my notes, un-shared.
- Are Rey's "parents" the equivalent of Leia's "parents" - Bail and Breha?
- Is the "Sith" dagger really the Dagger of Mortis?
- Is Ben and Rey's vision of Rey's parent's a true vision or a planted shared memory designed to hide their kinship?
- Is Rey's "vision" of her evil-self a fantasy or a future event that happens (in some form) later in the film?
- One week ago, I was stoked about The Mandalorian and a little indifferent to TROS. Now, I'm definitely invested in seeing how the Skywalker saga wraps-up. (Though, the film could still turn out to be a clusterfuck.)
That's a quarter of what I read. You think this matches up?
I don't trust Ward, but if this is true, some makes sense. This is a way to introduce Mortis (the dagger) without introducing Mortis.
I saw the reddit post. That reddit post took this post and expanded, said with Ward's post they were going to go ahead and expand. LARPed, IMO. Ward would never leak the amount in that reddit post. And the reddit post was a bunch of crap. I didn't see it but a friend sent screenshots of it to me. It said Kylo told Rey that her parents weren't important, but her grandfather was...Palpatine.
I knew instantly. it was BS.
Okay, now some of this is beginning to make a little bit of sense. I don't know how the training works though. I am still sure that she is Leia's daughter.
Please respect the spoiler policy posted at the top of this article and use your head when discussing this stuff on public forums like Twitter and Facebook.
This is the post Hokusai is talking about. Some guy on reddit took Ward's post and made a huge larp. I still think most of my info is correct. Also no Matt Smith in this reddit post which again I believe is a huge bunch of BS.
Reddit Post
I'll break down my thoughts on Ward's post later because I do think our info could work together. Remember everyone just has pieces, snippets at this time. We don't have the big picture at all. And Lucas did work on this film with JJ. This has been thoroughly documented. At the very least that piece of shit reddit post is flat-out wrong.

The coastal waters of the city of Tallinn cover the area between the Kakumäe and Viimsi peninsulas. There are three distinct bay areas: Tallinn Bay, Paljassaare Bay and Kopli Bay. The shore waters are shallow but deep rapidly. Tallinn Bay has a steep slope, which allows for good water exchange with the waters of the Gulf of Finland.
There are two islands, Aegna and Naissaar, and two bigger lakes: Harku (160 ha) and Ülemiste (992 ha), the latter of which is the main raw water source.
The Old Town is situated close to the sheltered Tallinn bay, which is a natural harbour and the main passenger port. The harbor in Kopli Bay serves mainly for cargo traffic. There are three public beaches: Pirita, Stroomi and Kakumäe on the coastline.
In 2009 was made the study of the status of ecological condition of the coastal waters of the city of Tallinn. Five water bodies connected with Tallinn coastal area were evaluated in current study. The monitoring work was held in Tallinn Bay, the Pirita river estuary and Kopli Bay. The monitoring strategy was based on the requirements of the EU WFD and the aim of the strategy is to survey the ecological quality of coastal waters. During this monitoring activity data was collected and the status of Tallinn and Kopli coastal water bodies is classified according to the established national classification scheme.
The classification scheme is based on the biological elements. Those are phytoplankton (chlorophyll a), phytobenthos and macrozoobenthos. Physical quality element as water transparency is used as supportive parameter in this work.
In result of that study the classification scheme showed that in three of five investigated water bodies (Miiduranna, Paljassaare, Pirita) the ecological status was classified as ―/moderate/. Two of five water bodies were classified as ―/bad/ (Kalaranna-Russalka and Stroomi). Long-term improvement trends were observed in Paljassaare and Miiduranna sea areas. Negative dynamics were observed in Kalaranna-Russalka and Stroomi areas.
The inflow of storm water, waste treatment plant water, wastewater from shipping, Pirita river waters and dust-rich air have certain impact on the water transparency and on the oxygen content- nutrients and floating substances witch are causing phytoplankton are discharged into the sea.
The large-scale nutrient over-enrichment is one of the most serious threats against the health and future perspectives of the whole Baltic Sea ecosystem.
1.1 Reducing the pollution load of the storm water released into the sea.
1.2 Minimizing oil and oil products in storm water.
Installation of oil filters on storm water drainage systems of major roads and parking lots.
1.3 Reducing nutrients in storm water.
1.4 Creating a taxation system to promote cause-based treatment of storm water, as well as construction and maintenance of storm water systems.
1.5 Enhance regular cleaning performance of the urban space, streets and gullies (particularly in the early spring) in order to reduce pollution carried into the environment by storm water.
1.6 Developing the concept of snow storage, determination and construction of planned storage sites.
2. Developing international cooperation between all countries bordering the Baltic Sea to achieve good environmental status for the sea.
3. Exploring the impact caused by high-speed ferries to the coastal sea of Tallinn and developing corresponding mitigation measures..
4. Improving the monitoring of enterprises with environmental risk in order to prevent pollution incidents. Strengthening the monitoring of pollution prevention.
5. Motivating owners to join the public sewerage system built to connect the registered immovable in their possession. Minimization of local wastewater treatment in the urban space.


"No man in the world has more courage than the man who can stop after eating one peanut" is credited to American playwright Channing Pollock (1880-1946). His name is associated with the quote as late as 1951—five years after his death—but there is not yet any evidence that he either said or wrote the quotation during his lifetime.
As early as 1899 (when Pollock was only 19 years old), it was written that the prize for self-control "should go to the gent who can eat one peanut and then quit." There are several citations of the "just one peanut" theme in the 1910s.
Channing Pollock (March 4, 1880 - August 17, 1946) was an American playwright, critic and writer of film scenarios.
When the American distribution rights were secured for the German silent film Metropolis, Pollock was hired to write new English-language intertitles for the film. Unfortunately, Pollock chose to delete an entire subplot from the film, concerning the deceased woman who had been married to two of the main characters. (The movie contains shots of a grave bearing the name HEL—a common female name in German—but Pollock felt that American audiences would confuse this with the word 'Hell'.) The commercial failure of the film's American release is considered to be largely due to Pollock's unfortunate decision.
Any one who can eat one peanut and then stop is possessed of great strength of will or else there are no other peanuts getable.
...the prize in the great free-for-all self-control sweepstakes should go to the gent who can eat one peanut and then quit.
Some men whom we have heard boast of a good will power cannot eat one peanut and quit.
Will power, I've been told again and again, is the ability to eat just one salted peanut.
No man in the world has more courage than the man who can stop after eating one peanut. — Channing Pollock.
Since it takes inhuman self-control to eat just one peanut, about the best thing you can do is pass up the tidbits.

What to Know About Extremist Groups Involved in Capitol Attack
Marissa Nelson | January 13, 2021 8:38 pm
As Democrats and some Republicans voted to impeach President Donald Trump, the FBI is warning of plans for armed protests at state capitols in all 50 states ahead of Inauguration Day.
The deadly storming of the U.S. Capitol one week ago brought together many extremist organizations, from right-wing militias to members of the Proud Boys.
"You had a lot of groups, ranging from the Proud Boys to the Oath Keepers to the Three Percenters to Turning Point USA, different groups like that who are showing up at the Capitol and mingling, frankly, with others who are just there to protest. That created this type of mob mentality that was going on," said David Goldenberg, Midwest regional director of the Anti-Defamation League. (Turning Point USA says its group was not there, but a separate, affiliated student group, TPAction, did attend the president's speech.)
In the wake of the riots, 77% of Americans say are concerned about violence in the next year from anti-government and militia movement members, according to a survey released Tuesday by the ADL. It also found that 75% of Americans are concerned about violence over the next year by white supremacists.
In October, the Department of Homeland Security's first annual homeland threat assesment named white supremacist extremists as the biggest threat facing the U.S.
"Among DVEs (Domestic Violent Extremists), racially and ethnically motivated violent extremists—specifically white supremacist extremists—will remain the most persistent and lethal threat in the Homeland," the report reads.
Much of the coordination of extremist groups, particularly for last week's event, occurs online, said Megan Squire, a professor of computer science at Elon University and a senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center who tracks online extremism.
"The role of the online platforms cannot be overstated in this case. That's absolutely where the vast, vast majority of planning, if not all of it, for these events and probably future events as well," Squire said.
After the attack on the Capitol, mainstream social media sites like Twitter and Facebook have been removing extremist accounts. Some users had been moving to Parler, until Amazon Web Services stopped hosting the app. Now, extremists are turning to smaller, niche platforms like Signal and Telegram, Squire said.
Removing groups and accounts from social platforms is an effective way to disrupt networks of extremists, Squire said. However, there isn't much coordination between social platforms once groups or accounts are removed.
While extremists move to other platforms that are sometimes encrypted, it doesn't necessarily make them more difficult to track.
"There are some upsides to folks moving to different platforms. They tend to be very disorganized, they make a lot of mistakes, they don't know how to use the platforms," Squire said. "It's often easier to collect data from some of these niche platforms than it is from the mainstream."
As for any planned protests in the coming days, Goldenberg said that while conversations online have increased from extremists and others who want to participate, there appears to be less coordination than there was prior to the attack on the Capitol.
"What we have to do though is realize that we've got to take them at their word and law enforcement, elected officials and others need to be prepared for the potential (violence)," Goldenberg said. "When you get these extremists mingling with others who might just be there to protest, it creates a volatile situation where violence is really possible."
Note: This story has been updated to state Turning Point USA did not participate in the events.

Q: How do you approximate synchronous programming in Node.js? I've read through all sorts of posts on this site as well as various articles and blogs on how one calls URLs using Node.js, but as this is my first Node project, the mental transition to asynchronous is eluding me. :-\
I'm trying to call an API with this simple code:
    var rp = require('request-promise');

    var options = {
       method: 'POST',
       strictSSL: false,
       headers: {'content-type': 'application/json'},
       uri: <URL goes here>,
       body: <body goes here>,
       json: true
    };

    rp(options)
       .then((res) => {
          let myToken = res['token'];
          console.log(myToken);
       })
       .catch((err) => {
          console.error('Returned: '+err);
       });

I am getting the correct response from the API and am able to parse out the value for 'token'.  However, where I'm hitting a mental block is how I then am able to use the value in myToken beyond the scope of the rp() call.
I understand the general model in Node/JavaScript is to use callbacks to continue processing once an asynchronous action completes, but if you have lots of other work to do (in my case, I anticipate calling a number of other APIs in sequence), how do you avoid having callbacks within callbacks within callbacks, etc. (what I believe is referred to as "callback hell")?
I've seen posts suggesting using fetch with await inside of an asynch body, but I cannot seem to return the value I need (in my example, the value of myToken); instead I just seem to return a Promise object.  The problem is that most examples I find just do a console.log() inside the callback with the key data, and never pass it back somewhere else.
If there are any better examples out there to which someone can refer me, it would be a huge help!  Thanks in advance.
Any

A: Due to the nature of asynchronous calls you can't really take the data from the response outside of the .then() of a Promise. However, If you just want all of your requests to happen at the same time (don't need to wait for one to finish) you can use Promise.all().
Say you have 3 requests you wish to make at the same time you would use code somewhat like this:
const request1 = rp(options1);
const request2 = rp(options2);
const request3 = rp(options3);

Promise.all([request1, request2, request3]).then(values => {
    // [response1, response2, response3]
});

Unfortunately if you need data from the previous request in the next request the only way to avoid callbacks or promises is to await the request like so:
async function requests() {
    const request1 = await rp(options1);
    const request2 = await rp(options2);
    const request3 = await rp(options3);
}

A: It sounds like you may be concerned about preventing nested callbacks, which is good. You can do so by leveraging the fact that then and other Promise methods will return promises, ie:
const tokenPromise = rp(options)
.then((res) => {
  let jsonObj = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(res));
  const myToken = jsonObj['token'];
  return myToken;
})
.then((myToken) => {
  return doSomethingElse(myToken);
})
.catch((err) => {
  console.error('Returned: '+err);
});

const doSomethingElse = (myToken) => {
  ...
}

In this example, if there is no error on the request, doSomethingElse could return a value, in which case tokenPromise would resolve with that value. Or, it could return a promise, and tokenPromise would resolve/reject based on that promise. I'd suggest looking at bluebird's documentation, specifically "Why Promises",for an even better example..
You can't really access myToken outside of the context of the promise, but you can reuse the promise (you could store it as a global variable and check whether it has a value when you want to use it, but don't do that). Say you have another request that needs the value of myToken but is triggered elsewhere:
const doSomethingLater = () => {
  return tokenPromise.then((myToken) => {
    console.log(myToken);
  });
};

Calling doSomethingLater before the token request resolves would cause it to wait for the request, calling it after it has already resolved will result in tokenPromise resolving "immediately" with myToken.
If the token request is also triggered elsewhere (you don't make it immediately), and a method like doSomethingLater needs to be able to also trigger it if necessary, you could use a promise.
const _tokenPromise = null; // Should only be used in makeTokenRequest
const makeTokenRequest = () => {
  if (_tokenPromise) {
    return _tokenPromise;
  };

  _tokenPromise = rp(options)
  .then((res) => {
    let jsonObj = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(res));
    const myToken = jsonObj['token'];
    return myToken;
  })
  .then((myToken) => {
    return doSomethingElse(myToken);
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    //set _tokenPromise to null to retry on next call, you'd want better error handling irl
    _tokenPromise = null;
    console.error('Returned: '+err);
  });

  return _tokenPromise;
}

...

const doSomethingLater = () => {
  return makeTokenRequest().then((myToken) => {
    console.log(myToken);
  });
};

This way when doSomethingLater is triggered, it can make the token request if necessary, or reuse the one that is already in progress or has already resolved.  Note that in the catch, _tokenPromise is set to null, so that a failed call can be retried, in the real world you'd want better error handling than just this.

A:     Hello,

    Here is a small example on how you can do subsequent API calls.

    const rp = require('request-promise');

    async function multipleCalls(){
    let firstCall = await rp(options1); //Waits until API call is done
    console.log(firstCall['token']) //You can use the token for later calls if needed.
    let secondCall = await rp(options2); //Waits until API Call is done
    console.log("You can call any number of API calls this way");
    }

Hope this helps!

A: Here is a basic example of how you can get the token and use it, using async/await. You can only await functions that return promises and async and await can only be used in the scope of a function.
const rp = require('request-promise');

async function fetchToken() {
  const options = {
    method: 'POST',
    strictSSL: false,
    headers: {'content-type': 'application/json'},
    uri: '',
    body: '',
    json: true,
  };

  // error handling for await function
  try {
    await rp(options)
    .then((res) => {
      let myToken = res['token'];
      return myToken;
    })
    .catch((err) => {
      console.error('Returned: '+err);
      return err;
    });
  } catch(err) {
    // catch try block error

Q: Rails how to simulate background processing I am creating a simulator in rails for an upcoming product. We want to model how a device that transmits data will behave, so I need to simulate the creation of multiple objects at different times. Basically, I want a method that does this:
def simulate_scenario_a
 create_data_packet_a (instantly)
 create_data_packet_b (5 mins delay)
 create_data_packet_c (10 mins)
end

These all need to be sent to the front end api as soon as they are created but i am not sure of a suitable method to use to delay them. All my delays so far prevent the main method simulate_scenario_a from completing so they are all fired at the same time. Should i use delayed jobs gem?? Advice needed

A: Consider one of background jobs gem. I prefer sidekiq gem.
Using sidekiq's API, you can
def simulate_scenario_a
  DataPacket.create!(params)
  DataPacket.delay_for(5.minutes).create!(params)
  DataPacket.delay_for(10.minutes).create!(params)
end

MIS is coming: all present (most correct)
Liam Mason: FMA director of regulation
Just a handful of managed investment scheme (MIS) applications are still in the queue as the licensing regime prepares for launch this week.
Liam Mason, Financial Markets Authority (FMA) director of regulation, said the paperwork is pending on only three MIS licences for already-established entities.
"We also have some applications for a few new entrants that we'll be processing in December but everyone currently in the market will be through by December 1," Mason said. "It's not what I feared might be happening at this stage."
He said the regulator was also working with a number of schemes – principally superannuation funds – that were in wind-up phase. The FMA has also issued MIS exemptions for several forestry and property schemes that face "long tail" wind-up procedures.
Excluding the three pending applications (which should be approved before the Thursday start date), the FMA has licensed 66 MIS managers, of which 21 operate KiwiSaver schemes.
The MIS list includes about 20 New Zealand-owned funds management firms (excepting property and forestry schemes). Roughly half of the 66 MIS entities could be described as traditional funds managers – either as direct investors in equities/bonds etc or fund-of-funds – with the remainder featuring property, forestry and UK pension schemes.
While the MIS list defines the known NZ retail funds management universe, Mason admitted there could be some yet-to-be-discovered outliers.
"It's almost certain that there are some schemes that should've applied for licensing but haven't," he said.
Mason said the FMA would begin surveillance post December 1, liaising with the Companies Office as well as "scanning beyond that" to identify any non-compliant managers.
"We don't expect to find a significant number," he said. However, the FMA has a range of tools to either bring errant schemes under the MIS umbrella or close them down.
"We will freeze assets if we have to," Mason said.
The 70 or so licensed schemes falls about 30 shy of the FMA's initial estimate of MIS numbers with the shortfall due to some industry consolidation, several super schemes choosing to wind-up or amalgamate and "a small number have decided to go wholesale".
He said while wholesale managers (as well as wholesale products managed by MIS managers) fall outside the Financial Markets Conduct (FMC) licensing ambit, the sector is caught under "fair dealing provisions".
"We've also highlighted the risks in the wholesale sector," Mason said. "But it's fair to say we need to improve our data on wholesale managers… and we plan to do that partly by using our relationships built up during the licensing process."
The FMA should also know some time in the new year the approximate value of the funds under management (FUM) represented by the MIS sector: an important figure considering the regulator will collect levies based on retail FUM, according to a sliding scale.
"We don't know that figure yet as we don't have complete data," he said. "Once everyone has registered their documents and made their first quarterly reports we will have a go at doing that."
As at last Friday, 167 schemes had uploaded documents to the Disclose website, covering all MIS schemes (including some multiple offerings from the same provider) as well as dozens of super funds, which don't require an MIS licence.
According to Mason, the FMA was reasonably happy with the quality of documents supplied by scheme managers.
"It's been a good start but the industry is still on a learning curve," he said. For example, Mason said the maximum word-counts for some disclosure documents should be seen as upper limits "not targets". Some managers were also struggling with defining their particular scheme risks.
"We haven't seen the 'gold standard' [of disclosure documents] yet," he said.
From December 1, the FMA would switch its focus to policing the MIS market along with the other licensed sectors.
According to FMA figures, as at last week licensees included: 66 MIS managers; 53 discretionary investment management service (DIMS) providers; 31 independent trustees (as well as three corporate independent trustees); 22 derivatives issuers; eight crowd-funding firms; and, seven peer-to-peer lending platforms.
The FMA also polices about 1,800 authorised financial advisers (AFAs) – although only about 1,500 are real ones.
Mason said the 25-strong supervision team was responsible for the entire range of FMC-licensed entities.
"[The size of the supervision team] underpins why we have adopted a risk-based approach to supervising the industry," he said.
Mason said the licensing process has already lifted industry standards with about 40 people (across all licence types) either withdrawing applications or formally declined by the FMA over the last couple of years.
Of those who withdrew voluntarily, he said about 20 per cent subsequently were granted licences after improving processes.
"A small number were formally declined for reasons that were idiosyncratic to each case," he said. "But common all of them were poor governance and systems that failed to meet the standards required to deal in the retail market."

College Admissions Assistance is proud to announce our 2018 Senior Survey scholarship winners over the next few weeks. Each year our students are invited to participate in a survey about the CAA services. This enables us to poll the outgoing senior class about what they thought about their time with CAA. Then, we offer a scholarship to five participating students based on a random draw.
This week we announce our fourth prize winner, Victor Bonilla! He was selected as our $500 winner for the 2018 graduating class. Victor is a hard-working person who has balanced his schoolwork with working a job. He preferred communicating with the coaches over email and benefited from our essay review.
Victor is still figuring out his ultimate career goal but is considering studying to become an engineer or geologist. He plans to start this fall at Westminster College in Utah. Even though Westminster is a private school, with the financial aid they offered him, they turned out to be more affordable than his public school option. He ultimately chose this school because he will be able to get more personal attention from his professors due to the small size of the school.
A small student body is important to Victor because he developed a great relationship with one of the teachers at his high school. His science teacher fostered his interest in both chemistry and geology. He was able to take classes from this particular teacher for three of his four years of high school. That teacher/student relationship was important in helping him discover his possible career path.
Victor will be the first in his family to attend college. He told us that he feels really lucky to be able to pursue his education. His parents are proud of him for getting into college and earning a scholarship from Westminster. He can also admit he is proud of himself since he is able to balance work and school responsibilities. CAA wishes Victor the best of luck as he begins college in a few weeks!

The ivory nameseals seized in Tokyo Port © Tokyo Metropolitan Police
Japanese ivory trader arrested on suspicion of smuggling ivory to China
Tokyo, Japan—Police in Japan last week arrested the director of a government-accredited ivory retail outlet on suspicion of attempting to smuggle ivory to China in contravention of national and international regulations.
According to media reports, the 47 year-old suspect was detained following the arrest of a Chinese sailor attempting to board a vessel in Tokyo Port who was found to be in possession of 605 ivory nameseal pieces.
Further investigation led police to raid the ivory retail premises where documents and other materials were confiscated and the arrest of the ivory retailer who, it is alleged, had sent the ivory pieces via a second Chinese national to the sailor. Investigators believe the three suspects were involved in premeditated ivory smuggling.
The company at the centre of the allegations is understood to be a member of Japan's ivory industry association.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are to be congratulated on this important case, and although it is still under active investigation, the information released to date clearly undermines the government's claim the Japanese domestic market is strictly controlled.
Tomomi Kitade, Head of TRAFFIC's Japan Office "It is essential that follow up investigations are carried out to evaluate the extent of the alleged smuggling operations and for the case to reach a successful judicial conclusion."
Under current Japanese legislation domestic trade in ivory is still allowed. However, international export is not permitted under the Customs Act and because it is contravention of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
"Japan's failure to regulate its domestic ivory market is not consistent with the international efforts currently underway to protect the world's elephants from poaching," said Gavin Edwards, WWF Coordinator, Initiative on Closing Ivory Markets in Asia.
"To protect the nation's international image and prevent further ivory leakage into illegal trade, Japan should close its domestic ivory markets as a matter of priority."
Ivory Towers, a TRAFFIC study released in December 2017 warned of the weaknesses in government oversight of the domestic ivory markets in Japan and the possibility they would result in illegal cross-border trade.
"It appears the concerns set out in Ivory Towers have not been heeded and elephants will end up paying the price," said Kitade.

From the General Secretary: Next Generation Mission
By Tom De Vries
Fast Company's November 2014 cover story is resonating with the next generation: "Find Your Mission."
Torri, my 22-year-old, recent-college-graduate daughter, brought the magazine home for Thanksgiving.
Highlighting the next generation's movement toward mission was the story of Casey Gerald, who was a speaker at his own graduation from Harvard Business School last year. His 18-minute speech has been viewed online more than 100,000 times. It focused on the usual—changing the world, making a difference. But there was also a clear and compelling call to embrace the "new bottom line in business...the impact you have on your community and the world around you. No amount of profit could make up for a purpose."
The next generation's focus on purpose over profit is a deep and transformational commitment that has the potential to change our collective future. It is a turn away from comforts and compensation packages toward engagement in a mission that provides a greater and more meaningful return.
How does engaging in Christ's kingdom mission tap into the sense of mission that is significant for the next generation? It leads us to have a clear and compelling vision of what it means to respond to Christ's call: "Follow me." It leads us back to the commissioning of the disciples in Matthew 28:19-20; we, too, are challenged to make disciples.
Transformed & Transforming is a collective and collaborative commitment to be the church of Jesus Christ serving our Lord and our world.
We become participants in the mission of Jesus Christ together—churches turning outward and serving the communities around them; Christians building authentic relationships with those who are not yet followers of Jesus, engaging in God's healing work in the lives of people, seeing people come to faith.
In The Missional Journey, my friend Bob Logan shares the core components of missional engagement that bring the kingdom of God into contact with societal transformation:
Sacrificial service: understanding mission as following Jesus' example by reaching out to those who need hope, help, and healing through putting our love into action
Authentic relationships: connecting in community with deep honesty and transparency; sharing joys and struggles, doubts and convictions; loving one another as we walk by faith
Spiritual transformation: as we embrace and embody the gospel, we invite others into the transformation we have experienced and help others encounter the grace and mercy that Jesus Christ offers
Living and loving like Jesus is not a banal call to action. It's a commitment to engaging in the mission of Jesus in ways that form and transform us and send us out to serve as transforming agents for Jesus Christ in our world.
The disciple who may have been closest to Jesus writes in 1 John 2:6: "Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did" (NLT). That is the mission of all generations and the purpose to which God has called us, one that will be transformational in people's lives, in our churches, and in our world.

This interview with Erika Nardini, chief executive of Barstool Sports, a website, was conducted and condensed by Adam Bryant.
A. I spent most of my childhood in New Hampshire and Vermont. There was not much to do. You could basically read books, stack wood or play sports. My brother and I were allowed a half-hour of television a week.
They're in their 70s, and both of them still teach, though my dad used to be a superintendent. My mom is a vocational teacher. She wanted to help the kids who had chosen a different path. They're huge optimists.
And were you in leadership roles early on?
I loved being a captain of my teams, and I loved learning new sports. I was a sophomore in college and decided to play lacrosse and be a goalie. I got up at 4:30 for four months to learn how to play. I was pretty bad, and even if you're good, you save only about 2 percent of all shots. The ball is really hard. I was black and blue with bruises for two years.
I learned so much during that time about putting yourself out there. My coach taught me that you have to live to the next play. You're going to get scored on, but you have to forget it and move on to the next thing.
In my first semester, I took a sociology class, and I was hooked. The study of people and groups is just fascinating. From there, I became hooked on marketing.
I had a big team when I was in advertising. I probably had 10 people. I was 23. It was a player-coach kind of role. I learned a lot early on about communicating, shared goals and accountability.
Because you weren't doing well with those at the outset?
I was inconsistent. I had to learn, and I'm still learning, about the kinds of people on my team who can run in my system, which is pretty hard-driving. I'm relentless on progress. What are we learning?
It kind of gets back to my middle-school experience, and the kids in shop that my mom taught. They had a ton of gifts and were really talented people; they just weren't in the system with everybody else.
This is your first C.E.O. role. Do you like it?
I always wanted to be a C.E.O. I wanted to build things and run them. I feel like I am victorious and a complete failure most days, both equally. I was not prepared for how lonely the job is. But I like that the buck stops with me, and that I'm accountable.
What kind of feedback have you heard about your leadership style?
I get a ton of feedback. I think I'm punishing. I have a large ability to grind. If I want something or if I believe in something or I think something should be done better, I will push and push until I exhaust people.
Barstool's content is very bro-ish, and there is a racy "girls" section. Thoughts?
I think "bro-ish" is a convenient stereotype. Barstool Sports is far more layered than that. Does a fraction of our content feature girls? Yes. Are those the pieces I gravitate toward? No.
But I'm not the editorial voice; I'm not the target audience. I respect that I'm neither of those things. I'm proud to work for a brand that knows itself and what its audience wants. It's a rare thing.
I'm a horrible interviewer. I'm impatient. To have a great hire, you need to spend a lot of time with that person and you need to see them in different settings. I rely on other people. Interviewing takes a village.
That said, I always root for the person without pedigree, someone who's bootstrapped themselves. It's not a negative if they have it, but you can quickly learn someone's view of the world and how they got to where they are.
I like to ask: It's Saturday morning, what's your game plan for the day? I ask what other companies they find interesting and why. I ask for an example of failure. I ask about environments they don't succeed in.
