What will happen to the priors?

[Vala_M]

What will happen with them after the Ark of Truth is used? Will they be restored somehow to ordinary humans? As I'm sure the kill switch will remain in them even if the Ori are gone or will they all be killed or what exactly?

Vala,

[Jumper_One]

they'll probably become ordinary humans with no powers whatsoever

[Vala_M]

The device won't do that, it will just make them stop believing. I think that either something like Nirrti/Anubis's DNA machine would be used to undo it's effects.

Vala,

If the spoilers are correct, they'll just stop believing, but as soon as they do anything against the Ori, they'll go up in smoke. I'm not really sure what they can get away with and what they can't...

Yeah... I agree, though it would be amusing if they all turn round and said at the same time "The Ori are not Gods" and all light up in a blaze...

From what I read from Beau Bridges, it could be interpreted a few ways, but I think they all end up in flames.

Here's the quote:

One of my favorite lines that I have in the movie is when I look this one Prior in the face and say, “You go ahead and burst into flames!” They know they’re going down, and they do.

— Beau Bridges in an interview in the Official Magazine, #18. Rest of the movie-specific quotes from that issue are consolidated here.

Maybe the Ark creates the doubt and the kill switch takes out all of the Priors. That's kind of sad, though, but "Line in the Sand" showed that the Priors are getting more and more power hungry and "evil". It's a repeat of the progression that was seen in the Ori when they gained their super human abilities before they ascended and grew so corrupt that the Altera fled in fear for their lives (and didn't use the Ark, but hid it instead of destroying it).

This brings up a much more interesting question, what happens to all the Ori technology already in the Ori galaxy along with the priors? The Ark won't suddenly make all them disappear. They likely have hundreds of Warships, thousands of Raiders, all those staff weapons and stun weapons, the people may not think the Ori are their gods anymore but what will they do with this technology? Even if the priors do all go up in flames the technology will remain, course Earth won't be taking any since if they got any Ori ships they would've been sent right to pegasus and as we know S4 Atlantis doesn't feature any Earth controlled Ori ships.

That is good question, I think that they will be kill

Yet...
That's a good point though... maybe Ori tech will be researched into and shield and weapons developed from it...

It would be really cool if Earth's next line of ships included the Ori ships main weapon...

In this movie, I believe most of the Priors will die for their "Gods". Those that do see the truth, will probably just be turned back into regular people.

[captain Qball]

Perhaps the Supergate is destroyed, forcing SG-1 to leave via regular stargate, and prevents us from taking any ships or heav equipment home.

[Vala_M]

That's sad that they just end up dying, we saw in "The Fourth Horseman" (at least according to Orlin) that they're regular people who gave up everything for the Ori.

Spoiler:

And how does the SGC capture a prior in the beginning of the movie anyway and why? I know about the anti-prior device but for what perpose?

Vala,

Dialing teh supergate?

[Platschu]

Maybe they will travel to Middle Earth and reunite with Saruman.

[g.o.d]

but what will happen to all those ships? TPTB can't allow that we will have them :-)
