    Not that I click on any of them but what are all those videos on YouTube with titles like "episode 8 plot leak" etc about? Are they all just bs or are there some true leaks? There are 100s of those videos in my recommendations.

    A song about Canibalism and the last Jedi?

    This reminds me of "Under the Skin". Here is a clip where Rian talked about the film. It is a story about a beautiful alien lady who leads men to their death.



    There is a youtube clip of the movie- but it is creepy and contains some nudity. The clip is on youtube and here is the web address ending: watch?v=JMr_jtA_Pe0

    Tonewise, It reminds me of Swiss Army Man, and the Swedish film- Little Otik.


    -----

    This makes me wonder is Kylo Ren going to be adding cannibalism to his list of crimes? Or is Luke the cannibal? I can't see Luke being a bad guy. Or maybe the last Jedi is not Rey, Luke, nor Kylo...It could be Snoke. Maybe Snoke is the cannibal that consumes the sun/son (just like Star Killer). Most likely, it will be Kylo who commits cannibalism because of the last paragraph of the song. He does put his helmet in those ashes- so I guess he also inhales all those ashes. So I guess you could say that he is already a cannibal. However, Adam Driver said that Kylo Ren was going to be humanized in the next film. Sort of hard to do if the character is also a cannibal in addition to a father killer. I guess it is possible though....Swiss army man managed to humanize and endear a farting corpse.

    Another interpretation is that cannibalism is a metaphor for sex (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ConsumingPassion). That just leads to really dark places, though.... Onward to other thoughts!

    "The long feast will filmed for mass consumption"
    The other weird part of the song, is that it sounds like the audience will also be consuming everything- along with the ultimate jedi. A feast that we will be consuming with our eyes. Speaking of eyes, Daisy Riddly didn't say something that the word "I/aye/eye" would be important and life affirming?

    "The cameras Rian’s got these days are unimaginably hi-res"
    Will Rian have a cameo in this movie? Will he be carrying a camera? That would be really cool.


    "With the dust of Jedi bones"--- sounds like Kylo's pot of ashes.
    [​IMG]


    "Piled high like parsnips on his plate"
    They repeated the word 'parsnips' twice in this song. Parsnips, do sort of look like bones. The word also sounds the snapping of bones or a carrot.

    The word 'bones' is repeated more than the word parsnips.
    Bones are symbolic of discovery of your personal, family, or cultural secrets. It is also symbolic of the underlying strengths of a character. Consider the symbolism of getting to the "bare bones" or the significance of "having a bone to pick with someone."

    "All the soft parts you can keep"
    It is interesting that he wants to reject all the soft parts. Kylo ren often wants to reject his sense of sentiment or attachment, the thing that makes him soft and weak. So it is not surprising that he also wants to reject the flesh. He will be cutting himself off from feelings of vitality, sexual urges, and other physical desires. Apparently not hunger though.

    This bare bones diet, also conjure images of starvation. This guy is starving for something. Sentiment and love? I don't envy poor Rey nor Luke! Crazy needy stalkers are not fun. It could also mean that this jedi eats "death". He constantly surrounds himself with corpses like the ashes of his enemies, dead villagers, and well Snoke. Kylo dresses like an executioner. Maybe he will move on and dress more like the grim reaper?

    hmmm maybe the song was just the creator feeling weird and actually doesn't have to do with the movie.

    I don't know what's happening in this thread any more with the very literal interpretations of the very deliberately silly Jedi bone song but...

    I'm smiling at least.

    9 times out of 10 I don't trust the immediate popular online response to official news farther than I can throw it. A brief history:

    *Luke is nowhere in the marketing of TFA*
    Assumption: Luke is Kylo Ren!

    *Adam Driver was already confirmed as Kylo Ren*
    Assumption: uh, Luke is still probably bad!

    *TFA is about to be released in theaters*
    Assumption: Rey is obviously Han and Leia's daughter!

    *TFA releases in theaters*
    Assumption: Rey is Luke's daughter?

    *The Last Jedi title is announced*
    Assumption: Luke dies!?!

    *The "Star Wars" part of the title is red*
    Assumption: This must mean the Sith return! Or maybe Rey is evil! Or maybe Luke is evil... again!

    *Rian Johnson posts a silly song that means nothing*
    Assumption: Rian just gave us the outline of TLJ.

    "Our?" No. I'm criticizing much of the internet's immediate response to most things Star Wars, which seeks to over-complicate things and yet manages to make everything sound stupidly obvious.
