Adam mentioning that he didn’t want people to read into how much younger he would be playing his character in TLJ, and getting flustered that he even brought it up, gets me suspecting even more strongly that my theory about the twist is on the mark or at least somewhere around it. As @kyberfox surmised he is most likely talking about the flashback scene(s) of the Jedi temple destruction, and if when it happened is significant enough to be a spoiler it just may change everything we thought we knew about that event.

“Based on some of the things Adam has been saying lately I’ve…”

what has he been saying?

Well, since you asked

First off, in an interview with Sunday Today Adam says in response to a question about if he thinks the fans will be happy with what happens to Kylo in TLJ he answers:

“God, I hope. I think it will be hopefully unexpected.”

Which of course can mean literally anything. Though given how much people in general seems to be believing that Kylo will be redeemed that theory looks a little less likely now.

But!

When he did an interview with USA Today about Logan Lucky there was this exchange:

Are you looking forward to returning for Star Wars: Episode IX?

If it comes, sure. I like being a part of those movies and the people you get to work with, so if it happens again, great.

If? If!

Like, okay… LF has maybe been running a less than steady ship with cancelling the Boba Fett movie and firing the two directors of the Han Solo movie a few weeks before the end of the shooting, but this is the ST. I doubt they’re going to cancel Episode IX no matter what. 

Postpone it? Yes. 

Boot the Jurassic Terror guy and find someone else? Yes. 

Cancel it? No.

So… if?

And waaay back in January when Adam did an interview on Larry King Now he was asked directly if Kylo Ren was alive at the end of TLJ.

His reply?

“Depends on what your idea of living is…”

What?

So now I’m honestly wondering if the ST will do the unprecedented and kill off it’s primary villain in Part 2 of the trilogy? Like that is certainly shocking.

Yes Maul was killed in TPM, well he was until Dave retconned that, but even in that movie it s clear that Maul is the side show and the Sideous/Palpatine is the trilogy’s primary villain. Ditto for Dooku.

You have to admit, that would qualify as shocking. And if you’re able to manifest as a Force ghost I suppose you still qualify as some way of being “alive” by Star Wars logic.

Or maybe they’re going to pull a Vader at Mustafar on him and leave him gravely injured, but without resolving if he lives or not at the end?

Man, can you imagine the fandom meltdown if this happens?

I think this would be of interest to recent anons, @joenessalovesu and @reynaberrieorgana . Thanks @kyberfox for finding it for me!
