Obviously he is going to be serpentine on account of his name is Snoke and this is Star Wars

Maybe he's a gundark who's tired of seeing his species having their ears pulled off by rear end in a top hat humans.

God, you people are stupid.

He's obviously the Rancor from Return of the Jedi that's been resurrected using the Dark Side of the Force. Duh.

So the Mirror (yeah, I know, take with a grain, no, a block, of salt) they're "reporting" that they're cutting out a lot of her performance in TFA:

Kathleen Kennedy just said in an interview that Phasma survives Episode VII.

That's a shame. I was hoping they'd kill her off just to watch the nerd :kingsley:

he probably just comes from the feral tribal black people planet Mace Windu came from.

Wonder what this guy's opinion of Space Latino Bail Organa was.

Has anyone asked why spaceships didn't suicide into one another before TLJ?

That one A-Wing went into the Super Star Destroyer in RotJ

I watched Revenge of the Sith the other day and one little set up I hadn't really noticed before was in the fight with Obi-Wan and Anakin vs Count Dooku, Dooku uses a force push to throw Obi-Wan across the room. Later, fighting Grevious, Obi-Wan then uses a force push to through the General, then, in the the final confrontation of Anakin vs Obi-Wan, when both try to use it, it backfires (or succeeds, from a certain point of view), and both get flung across the room.

Also, with Obi-Wan's fight against Jango Fett from AotC, to his fights against Grevious and Anakin, Obi-Wan's not afraid to do a little hand to hand combat.

We'd be better off if we'd been offered the promise of movies that took place before TFA, to show us in dramatic fashion how the New Republic struggled, and ultimately failed to such an extent that the First Order could take hold.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised that by recasting Han Solo, that this idea hasn't popped into Disney's head. If Solo does well, recast Luke and Leia, and do a new series of films between RotJ and TFA.

I see there's been a new petition up. This one is "cast Meryl Streep as Princess Leia".

Cast Mark Hamill as Leia

I'm starting to wonder if these rumors, and petitions, are being put out there by Disney to judge reaction to the idea of recasting Leia, and are using the most awarded actress of all time so the responses aren't clouded by, "But she's a terrible actress!' opinions. Like, just see what the fans think of the concept of recasting at all.

I've said it before, but I bet Disney is praying that Solo does well enough that they'll recast Luke and Leia and do films set post RotJ

I loved the little foreshadowing where Mace holds his lightsaber to Jango's throat as a threat, and then later, does actually decapitate him.

That whole scene is brutal. From the shadow of Jango's flying head to the blatant shot of Jango's headless body falling.

Gotta say I've been enjoying ILM twitter's new thing of posting random shots from the movie as gifs on the interweb

Is she supposed to be injured in this scene, or is Clarke incapable of even running convincingly?
