ST Keri Russell (Zorri Bliss) in Episode IX

'Somebody getting up' -I wouldnt bet on that. But I'd bet on 'somebody' rather than 'the wind'. In any case, why would Ben/Kylo suddenly walk towards clothes being blowed by the wind? Rey is not there.

What is more, the vision echoes Obi-Wan's '[the force partially controls your actions] but it also obeys your commands]'.

In Rey's vision, the saber is first in control (Bespin, Luke's temple), and at the end Rey is -rather uncounsciously- partially in control (little Rey in Jakku, SKB forest+takodana). She alters the vision's narrative by including herself in it.

The transition between these two modes is the KOR segment. For a moment, we see things from Ben/Kylo's POV,while hes walking towards something thats behind adult Rey -and then, adult Rey hears little Rey behind her, saying 'come back!', supposedly to what she believes to be her family.

Its quite a jump. Why should she be seeing all this?



Maybe this Zorii power ranger woman was there and had, before that, dropped Rey in Jakku.

Probably, that helmet will be taken off at some point in IX. Curious to see her hairdo.

 

I honestly believe that there is a thread connecting all of this... Rey is somehow connected to Luke and Kylo and I am guessing Episode IX will reveal the full story. Not sure how, but that's my thought. I was joking about the Mara thing but that would be crazy if she has read hair under that helmet...

 

Or buns, 'simple hairstyle designed for desert survival', as the TFA visual dictionary calls it. Designed by who? It is the only 'object' predating little Rey we have.

 

Was Kylo searching the bodies for something? Is there an object one of the dead had on them that Kylo wants?

Why should it be all connected to Anakin's lightsaber, it was present on Cloud City and it might be present when the clan get butchered by the KoR, but it's definitely not present when Unkar has his mitts on little Rey and I don't think Luke has it when Kylo ransacked the temple.

Does Zori have a link to the lightsaber?.

 

I personally think that Rey is the link to it all, not the lightsaber. She is somehow connected to Luke and Kylo in a way we are not yet aware of. Maybe Zorii is linked to them, maybe not.

 

What if she's Rey's mom, and really did sell her for drinking money because she's an opportunist (hence being a bounty hunter). Rey reunites with her, but Zorii irredeemably betrays Rey and ends up dead on Jakku by the end, making Kylo's vision in TLJ a premonition...

 

Money, is she was a bounty hunter by then. Luke, if she was not. Or both.

In any case, if this pre-TFA hypothetical person in the KOR scene is Zorii,, then Ben/Kylo made an exception and spared her for whatever reason. Maybe out of 'weakness'; maybe he already knew her and could not do in cold blood what he had 'done' out of instinct, as teenage Ben Solo, years before. She survived, just like both Luke ('he must have thought I was dead') and Leia survived in TLJ.

Ben/Kylo seems to be pretty lousy when it comes to 'kill the past'. Han was him being efficient in that department, and maybe that's why he had to fail with all the others, in more or less intrincate ways. To underline more clearly the redemptive part of his arc. One corpse is enough.

Is Zorii that screaming woman inside Ben's head in TLJ (hut scene)? Is that what Luke saw? Is that the 'too much Vader' event Han talks about? A screaming man is also heard in the hut scene. Did Han knew her? Is this Zorii the 'Beru' of this trilogy, and was certain baby girl trusted to her in the past, and then lost? In that case, Leia would have known her too...maybe she 'felt responsible' at some point, as Luke would later with his nephew, and 'walked away from everything' into the bounty hunter life.

Ah, the unexhaustible realm of crapspeculation.

 

In the end, Zorii probably has no connection to Luke or Rey but it's fun to speculate.

 

“Hello Rey, my mother Enfys taught me and now I will teach you.”

THE END

 

Her father was Zorro.

 

Josh Kirby's poster.


Leia, twice. In that episode of forces of destiny, things were retconned to make Leia-as-Boushh Maz Kanata's idea. Maybe Zorii being a bounty hunter is also an 'idea'.

 

That's not how the Force works.

Aw, man.... Here I am hoping she keeps the helmet on.

 

She will prolly get eaten by a sand monster. Maybe she'll get eaten by Matt Smith's alien. *haha*

 

"Who's the Bounty Hunter?"

"Zorii"

"I said, who's the Bounty Hunter?"

"Zorii."

"Don't make me shout..."

 

Yeah, maybe I jumped the gun...first impressions and all that. My feelings are just based on the look. You never know - once I see her in motion, with a cool voice and good action scenes I may end up loving the character

 

Her helmet looks ridiculous..........in a good way. I love it.

 

I agree, her costume design is probably in my top 5 from the ST.

 

I like Zorii's helmet and outfit well enough. Though I would rather she be a lightsaber wielding Forceuser, instead of a Bounty Hunter. Unless she is in disguise, like Leia-as-Boush, as @ScreamingWoman2019 said.

 

When i saw that female bounty hunter in the leaked poster i immediately thought of Zam Wesell from AOTC. I mean the helmet is totally different but she does seem similar. Hopefully her screen time is somewhat significant and impactful to the story.

 

Kinda like how Jango and Phasma were just a substitute boba fett. Gotta have a mysterious mask wearing character in there somewhere right?

 

I didn't know Episode IX was just going to be an adaptation of God Emperor of Dune.

 

At least Jango was a somewhat developed, interesting character... I like Boba and Phasma but Jango was easily the most interesting of the three.
