Star Wars Speculation
About Spec: What is Spec? Star Wars Speculation ("Spec") is a community dedicated to speculative discussion of the Star Wars franchise. It is a curated space to talk about additions to canon in a larger perspective—incorporating analysis of the story being told and the real life factors around it in order to best theorize about what comes next.
Please be reasonable and open-minded. Work together with your fellow speculators in an attempt to build understanding as we collectively try to unlock the secrets of upcoming Star Wars media!
But... what about spoilers?! Yes, you will find spoilers here. Spec is a "spoiler-positive" community - we incorporate information from Leaked content into our speculative theorycrafting. Users beware!
What's with the rule about positivity? We at Spec believe that theorizing about upcoming Star Wars material is only possible when you're looking forward to it. You wouldn't spend time imagining about something you don't like, after all! To put it as Yoda might: Joy leads to Interest, Interest leads to Curiosity, and Curiosity leads to Speculation.
There's no faster way to stop people from speculating than to harshly criticize the media they're excited about. For this reason, we disallow excessive negativity. Posts and comments should be about the future of Star Wars, not rehashing the past or complaining about the current direction of the franchise.
If you want to rant, try somewhere else. If you want to wonder, Spec is the place for you.
So it's fanfic? No, quite the opposite - we don't allow fan fiction or other fan works here, either. The topic of each discussion in this space should be centered on piecing together info from current canon to answer the question "what happens next?". Fiction that comes solely from our own imaginations doesn't do that.
