Stephen Colbert is very excited for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." The host of "The Late Show" told his audience Wednesday night that he was pretty sure he already knew what was going to happen in the new J.J. Abrams directed film.
Colbert said that based off the new "Star Wars" trailer, which was "not a 10-second, slow fade teaser. None of that B.S. This was a real trailer," he could predict the entire plot and ending to the film.
"It has been three decades since the events of the original trilogy. The dark and mysterious First Order has stepped into the power vacuum once held by the Empire. And the newly named Resistance fights in place of the Rebel Alliance, which has begun a tragic shift to the dark side," Colbert speculated. "But John Boyega's character is in a Stormtrooper, so it follows that now the new New Hope comes from the very enemy we've been trained to hate."
"Remember, the Dark Side was never explicitly tied to the Empire; the Force itself exists outside of mere temporal authority structures," he continued. "So I predict that dark becomes light, light becomes dark, and the very fabric of the Force is stretched to its limit as a new generation emerges to tear down the false distinctions of the past and unite all of us: old and new, moisture farmers and nerf herders, star and wars, once and for all, bringing peace to the galaxy."
Will Colbert's prediction be correct? Audiences will have to wait until Dec. 18 to see.
