Shimrra Jamaane posted:So why are are all the spaceships in the trailers not fighting in space? The attack on Starkiller Base should have some space stuff at the very least; rumor has it that Leia and Ackbar deploy a bunch of experimental ships versus the First Order's Star Destroyers in orbit and basically kick rear end, but it's all rendered moot when Hux uses the Array to clear the airspace above the base. Only Poe's Black Squadron makes it through to save the day, hence that shot of the ships dogfighting above the icy trench.

As was Star Trek 09, with the destruction of Romulus, Spock Prime and his jellyfish ship, etc. That post-Nemesis event is basically responsible for the creation of the Reboot universe (and now I'm eerily reminded of comic storylines); it's not too much of a logical leap to regard it as a sequel.

Besides what we hear in this TV spot, they've been keeping the score under lock and key; it's rather impressive given that we're seeing all manner of things leaking at this point.

Robot Style posted:Alexandre Desplat's confirmed to be doing the score for Rogue One after teaming with the director on Godzilla. Gonna be weird hearing a different composer on a Star Wars film (though we've kind of already gotten it with Joel McNeely and his surprisingly-listenable Shadows of the Empire score). Here's hoping that Desplat adopts at least the motif-based component of Williams's scores, because both Godzilla and the HP Deathly Hallows scores were pretty bleh from what I can remember.

I'm guessing that she hasn't gotten to the Mortis arc yet? They layer the foreshadowing on pretty thickly in that. Also, EW has some high-res pics of Snoke (and Maz) for the folks upthread who wanted some not-camripped ones of him.

Teek posted:After everything which has come out in the last 24 hours, it seems like most of the Makingstarwars report has been proven wrong, from the people he said were involved not actually being involved to the extent of the reshoots being done not actually being as extensive as what he claimed. With this report from EW's Anthony Breznican (who is more or less Lucasfilm's unofficial liason to the press at this point) definitively closing the book on the "film is in serious trouble" narrative. EW article posted:Those reshoots were originally planned for the spring, but were bumped to mid-summer to allow for extra time as director Gareth Edwards and the creative team decided what they wanted to alter. “The changes have everything to do with clarity and character development and all take place [as inserts] within scenes we’ve already shot,” said one source on the project.

Favorite part of the whole thing is still the use of Episode IV music at the beginning. Speaking of Episode IV, this hasn't gotten nearly enough love: https://vimeo.com/174847477

As an addendum, here's a screengrab from the very first teaser: To be fair, the "Vader's in the bacta tank" theory is as old as this image is, but it's still cool to see it potentially validated. Fezz posted:Is the spoiler that it's all fake and none of it is real? No, the real spoiler is that we're all fake, and Star Wars is the only real thing.

I'm totally with you in that it doesn't make a ton of sense for Vader to be in such a position; I've seen ruminations on the level that Vader is being "activated" by Palpatine to go and retrieve the plans, which is somewhat mystifying as he's pretty much free-roaming in Tarkin and Rebels. The way the latter's been going, however, I wouldn't be surprised if something may happen in that show that would justify Vader being placed in a bacta tank, with his recovery coinciding with R1. That said, he did survive a Sith superweapon exploding mostly-unscathed in last season's finale, so

So does Red 2, at a certain point. They don't call it out but I definitely noticed a X-Wing with two red slashes on the s-foil getting blown up during one of the space shots. Fits with Wedge's "look at the size of that thing" seeing as he wouldn't have seen the Death Star over Scarif. Cross-Section fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Dec 17, 2016 |

Some actual (possible) spoilers for the spoiler thread:MakingStarWars posted:If you recall, last week we shared some information about these little avian creatures on Ahch-To in Star Wars: Episode VIII. These birds were said to be “protectors of Ahch-To.” When the puppets were being described to me last summer, certain things like their sharp teeth stood out to me that I never saw in the a Star Wars design. But they also made me not consider it was a bird-like creature we had seen before. Many of you asked me if the “Puffins” were “Convorees”. I thought about it and dug a little. More speculation at the link; could be a nice bit of continuity if they follow through. fake edit: Also some Rian comments out of a badly-formatted USA Today article: USA Today posted:Remember that Star Wars: The Force Awakens cliffhanger with new heroine Rey (Daisy Ridley) bringing Jedi master Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) his old lightsaber on a remote intergalactic island? Writer/director Rian Johnson is picking up right where they left off in the beginning of the Star Wars saga’s still-untitled next chapter. “I don’t want to skip ahead two years,” Johnson says. “I want to see the very next moment of what happens.” How Rey and Luke relate to each other is the key relationship in Episode VIII, and Johnson says “a large part of the movie” will be spent addressing why Luke’s there and what he’ll do next. Like Luke, Rey has been pulled into a bigger world by connecting with the Force, “but part of what’s she’s dealing with is the realization that she has this power and this gift,” Johnson adds. “She’s taking her first step to coming to terms with this thing inside her that she never knew was there and is just starting to reveal its potential.” Another cliffhanger: How General Leia might figure in the film in light of Carrie Fisher’s death last month.

Best speculation I'm hearing is that Holdo folds the Resistance back into what remains of the Republic's military forces, meaning that Poe would be reinstated with his old rank of Captain.

Porgs are a product of Rian Johnson seeing a flock of puffins on Skellig Michael and thinking "Hey maybe we should have those but Star Wars"quote:“Are you sick of them yet?” Johnson asks with a laugh. The porgs, he explains, were inspired by the actual puffins that inhabit Skellig Michael, the island off the coast of Ireland that served as the location for Luke’s hermitage. “I was like, ‘Oh, this is part of the island; we need to find the Star Wars version of this,” the director explains. “And then just story-wise — not that they play a big part in the story — but I knew I wanted to find any source of comic relief I could on the island. And so they were very useful in terms of that.” Also they're apparently hunted for food by the lizard-bird nuns

Jose Oquendo posted:That's great. If Johnson wrote a script that pissed off Mark Hamill, I'd consider it a good thing. Yeah, considering this is the guy who thought it’d be a novel idea for Luke to turn dark at the end of RotJ (even going so far to suggest that Luke don Vader’s helmet to signify that) it’s probably a good thing that Rian wrote something that conflicts with his idealized version of the character. Remember, actors having creative control isn’t always something to strive for, that’s how we got dune buggy Picard in Star Trek Nemesis.
