Rey and Kylo are all about their memorabilia but Luke doesn't want his old weapon back. Find out why by collecting all 6 limited edition cups at McDonalds.

They had the Jim Henson company design a puppet for them, and when the Kenner company retired the mascot, the puppet became the Little Bird character on Sesame Street. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po3yc7-MgXM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-tvNsDboP4

The Obi-Wan stand-alone movie is moving forward. Stephen Daldry (The Hours, Billy Elliot) is in talks to direct. No word on McGregor returning though he's said he's open to it. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/he...er_breakingnews Just make it a Yojimbo remake and call it a day.

The bully from Rushmore would've made a great young Ewan McGregor.

I'm more interested in the fact they're considering a Yoda film Here's hoping it takes place 600 years before the Prequels instead of him screwing around on a swamp ball for two hours

Yoda is boring and dumb. They can add a bunch of new detail to him to give him an interesting narrative, but they could add that to any character, and do so with one that won't inevitably be derided for being a crap puppet and/or The Great Satan, CGI.

Dunno how well it would translate into a full film, but the last episode of Clone Wars focused on Yoda and it was really cool. They could get really weird with a Yoda movie if they wanted to.

Jewmanji posted:Having a Star Wars movie that finally takes place on fewer than 3 planets will be awesome. This made me curious about how many/few actual planets we see characters visit in the movies, if even briefly. It's interesting to see the contrast and how there's a lot of not quite a regular planet locations where a lot of the action takes place. Like there's moons, asteroids, space stations, etc. aplenty but you can see how the pacing of the movies effects it too. ANH - Tatooine, Yavin IV ESB - Hoth, Dagobah RotJ - Tatooine, Sanctuary Moon TPM - Naboo, Tatooine, Coruscant ATC - Coruscant, Tatooine, Kamino, Naboo, Geonosis RTS - Utapau, Kashyyyk, Coruscant, Mustafar, Alderaan, that montage of a bunch of Jedi getting killed on different worlds TFA - Jakku, Takodana, Ahch-To, Starkiller Base is still a "planet" despite some modifications R1 - Lah-Mu, Wobani, Yavin IV, Jedha, Eadu, Mustafar, Scarif Double checking this was sort of interesting too because of how I didn't realize that Jedha officially is a moon specifically and not a planet. Looking at this also, I never found any of the movies to feel jarringly planet-hopping or restrained, so it's not like they were got gratuitous about cramming in new locations for the hell of it.

I just hope Obi-Wan's standlone movie will explain why he decided to keep his surname while Vader & Pals were hunting for a Jedi named Kenobi.
