Yeah, no. Keep TOR as far away from Disney as humanly possible, please.

Had not heard that. That severely narrows down the candidates, if that's the case. How hard will your mind be blown if your daughter turns out to be right and Snoke is the Grand Inquisitor from Rebels? :eek:

I still wonder if Ezra plays into Snoke someway, somehow. Nothing to back that up with, just a feeling....

I really assumed that even any hint of Bane and Revan being pulled into the canon would have you doing backflips, lol. But, I do understand you not wanting Disney to completely pussify those two, either. :D

I'm just afraid they wouldn't do it worth a ****. The only Bane I've seen from Dave Fillating-myself and Disney was pure shit.

Let's let the good people from BioWare and the ultra kick-ass authors they hire like Drew Karpyshin do their thing while Disney makes millions off of Emo-Villans like Kylo Ren.

Deal?

Karpyshin's Revan novel was really, really underwhelming. And I usually like his work.

Yeah, not the greatest. But, it was not he that set Revan up to be some resuscitated entity in TOR.

The initial Revan story was fantastic.

Read a bit today about the three women vying for the lead role opposite ehrenreich in the Han Solo film. Based on their ethnicities it looks like we're getting the Sana Solo storyline from the comics.

An interlude. This has nothing to do with Episode VIII.

Remember this -

Here's the sequel (or continuation) to that -

I don't even want to play the games, I just want to watch a full movie of those animations, lol.

Since TOR crashed Nvidia-based systems, I haven't played the game.

What's the breakdown on this "outer empire" of new force-scrubs?

That's seriously cool. Never got into TOR because of the subscription service crap. But that looks like a lot of fun..

I would guess that Rey's visions, her abilities to use the Force, her skills with a saber were all a by-product of unconsciously being connected to Luke (or another?) in some way. Just a guess, but there you go...

Thanks for sharing! Some of this stuff is super cool.

Luke Skywalker's Surprising Look in Star Wars: Episode VIII Detailed

http://i0.wp.com/makingstarwars.net/...ume.png?w=1240

So according to JJ, Rey and Kylo have never met before. So a few fan theories died today.

I'm still on board the Kenobi train, as I have been from the start. Link

Well that's just weird.

Wish I could share everything I heard Monday night while taking the kids trick or treating.

Obi Wan? A new Matt *****ing series?

We wish you could too.

Agreed, Kenobi makes the most sense and works out well on the timelines. She also thinks her Dad was going to return.

Some new info, but posting mainly for Jessica Chobot

has anyone seen this consiprancy theory of Finn being Windu's son and Windu is snoke? Might be Q, but if this theory is fleshed out a little more detailed and dots connected.. it could be cool, apologies if already posted.

Star Wars Episode VIII: Forces of Destiny

It's been leaked that Snoke will appear along side Kylo Ren and General Hux, played by a combination of a 7-8 foot animatronic puppet and VFX.

Snoke is definitely not human.

I felt the same way about The Force Awakens as a title

well, honestly even original titles weren't super particular or "out there"

Thanks for clarifying. I do think they should work Mace windu back in somehow.. even if he would be old and decrepit haha. Samuel mad a good point that Jedi's can handle a large fall. I would like the mto touch on the purple saber light/dark side.

I'm sorry but Mace Windu died. If you're falling that far, thrown out a window, you're going to go splat I don't care how in tuned with the force you may be. The only way it might work is if he hits a body of water, and then it'd be a lame wah wah discovery.

Mace Windu was a cool character. Sam Jackson is a badass. But Sam Jackson as Mace Windu just didn't work for me.

The only way Windu works onscreen is with a guy like Fishburne, not Jackson, IMO

I'd been hearing that one for a few days now.

Verdict: Do not hate, yet the man-juice of my loins remains un-stirred.

Yes.

I think that "Destiny of The Force" is better than what's been trademarked but whatever.

If it's a great film, the title will mean very little.

Just like song titles.. the substance often brings it to life.


I do agree with Fishbourne being perfect for mace, but I do think they should dive into the "purple" saber/force angle as like a b or c story.

Episode VII, Rogue One, Episode VIII... 2015, 2016, 2017 and did I hear about a Han Solo movie coming out in 2018? I don't know at what point they are going to over saturate the market, but so far, I can't seem to get enough of it.

Feed me Walt... feed me more!

Can't wait. Want to see now.

After seeing Rogue One, I think that I may have figured out the identity of Rey's mother. I'll post as spoilers in all three Star Wars threads, even though these are "Spoiler" threads.

All of that could make sense. How the hell do they explain all that to the casual fan in the next movie?

I think you're off the mark on that one. She's house Viszla, not house Kryze. And every indication is that her mother was (and still is, she's referenced in the series as alive) a member of Death Watch. Sabine was considered a traitor when she left the academy, and the hit clan Wren took from that led to her mother joining the Empire. If I'm remembering correctly. I'm sure we'll meet the mother at some point, probably sooner rather than later.

My guess is that her mother is Bo-Katan, Satine's sister, who was Pre Vizla's second, present in the throne room when Maul killed them both. Katee Sackoff voiced her in Clone Wars and is supposedly voicing her again in the latter half of this season on Rebels. It would certainly explain a lot about Sabine, including her connection to the Nite Owls.

FYI Filoni has said Sabine's mother was present in the throne room and that she's not a Kryzse, although my interpretation of that was that he only meant Satine. Because while they were sisters, they were political opponents.

Prior to finding out that Leia was his sister, Luke was all about hooking up with the Princess. Having an affair with Sabine doesn't seem likely.

The only issue with this is that it's waaaay too complicated.

A far less skilled Luke fell one hell of a distance (in Empire soon after losing his hand to Vader) and was somehow just fine. :hmmm:

Dane, I wasn't trying to create any scenario, complicated or otherwise. I was telling you just how unlikely your scenario is based on what's been revealed about Sabine's parents on Rebels itself as well as comments made by Filoni.

I'm not saying it's impossible - I think it would be cool and have championed the Kenobi theory for a long time regarding Rey. But as far as overly complicated goes, I don't think you can get much more complicated than having Rey be the descendent of Luke and a cartoon character from Rebels who was herself sired by Ben and and another cartoon character from Clone Wars. If they did go that route they'd have to find a way to introduce both Satine and Sabine to the film audience, the great majority of whom would have never seen them.

In addition Disney recently commented that appearances by characters from Rebels are very unlikely.

But hey, anything is possible.

And we definitely are seeing Bo-Katan again. Because Katee Sackoff has done the voice work. So there's a chance she's Sabine's mom. Or there's a chance that she tells Sabine that Satine is her mom. Or hell, maybe it's Rook Kast or some other even more obscure Clone Wars character.

As far as Sabine recognizing the Darksaber, well, of course she did. It's a key part of Mandalorean history, of particular importance to House Viszla, of which her clan, Wren, is a part. Think you're reading too much there.

But who knows...they could go any direction they want.

Actually, that's the exact opposite of what Pablo Hidalgo and Dave Filoni have said.

Saw Gerrera is just the first.

http://movieweb.com/star-wars-rebels-movie-crossover/

"I would never say never to that. I mean, now that Lucasfilm is so integrated in story from top to bottom in all different forms of media, we already have had our characters cross over into novels. We're gonna have our crossover into comic books. I would say it's entirely possible. And I would encourage it. I've talked to the creators of the other films going on and, you know, I've always made it clear if you want somebody, just let me know. They can jump over there. I don't care. I'm all for it. Because I think it makes the experience for fans so much stronger. And what a moment it would be to see some of these animated characters up there live on the screen. It would be great for me too."

So, thoughts on Snoke -

(spoilered for those that haven't seen R1)

And for keg and Dane - I think both of those theories are stretches, but one of you is likely right. There's just not enough backstory on Rey at the moment to nail anything down. I do think it means something that Obi-Wan is the first voice she hears in her force vision, with Luke, Vader and Kylo all being prominent as well. I'm just not sure which theory sounds better at the moment.

Full disclosure - I had that thought in my head and then saw one of Stupendous Wave's videos saying much the same. I felt really smart, right up until Fish brought me back down to Earth, lol.

He's not 7-8 foot tall, as Snoke has been described

Could he have been in the death star when it blew up and that's where the scars he has came from? Maybe him being so small is why he projects himself so large now.


Bowser might be on to something

It's already been leaked that a 7-8 puppet, along with VFX, will be used for Snoke in Epi VIII.

I think they were just messing with us. :D

Would be a crazy tie in. Vader was flying when it blew up, that's why he wasn't on it, but theoretically his "concierge" would have still been on it.

I'm really interested in Snoke and his back story and I don't think anything or anyone should be eliminated.

December 2017 can't get here fast enough for me.

Being on the death star when it blew would account for the terrible injuries

I'm telling you, if Dane's daughter called it the first time she saw Snoke and he turns out to be the Grand Inquisitor from Rebels, bricks will be shat. Also if that happens, get her into some Mensa think tank, stat.

Hate to burst your bubble but:
http://www.flickeringmyth.com/2016/0...ar-wars-story/

I'll take Kathleen Kennedy over either of them:

http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/12/...to-live-action

Man, Carrie Fisher's passing must just gut the script for at least 8 and maybe 9. :(

Fisher has passed away

She was talking about the approach, as to whether or not they start plucking characters from the animated series and begin building a story around them, to which she replied "that's not our approach".

That doesn't mean that characters from the animated series won't appear in future Star Wars films. In Rogue One alone we saw Chopper, Saw Gerrera, The Ghost and heard reference to Hera Syndulla.

I think that characters will continue to show up, most likely as Easter Eggs for the fans, in the spinoff's but I don't *expect* Lucasfilm to create a movie based on Ezra, Kanan, et al.

Which is exactly what I was saying...

Cameos? Yes. Satine and then Sabine being related to Rey? Not likely.

Not on 8 They finished July 22.

Just read an article about this. It's going to be difficult but they have several options.

I don't think they'd give that away at this point in time.

But as I mentioned earlier, either Han & Leia are her parents or Luke and ? are her parents. If it's Luke, then who and where is the mother?

IMO, it wouldn't make sense to have a brand new character that would require serious exposition, likely dragging down the film.

Please no more CGI Fisher.

well carries death and death in the movies move Kylo to the good side?

i know may not make sense.. but the death of his mother might move him strongly.. realizing he killed his dad in an altered state of mind.. now his mother is gone.. i'd like to see him go away from snoke and be a lone wolf.. reintroducing the "purple" saber idea

He needs to remain evil and die a horrible death.

That or win the galaxy from the Resistance and Snoke, leading to Episodes X-XII.

Redemption would suck. His path is very different than Vader's.

Well hopefully they mature his demeanor and have him slay people. There's goin to be another trilogy of movies after this set?

It's not in the books but word on the street is yes, there will be another trilogy.

Would you walk away from a money making machine?

From my understanding (and this could certainly change in the next three years), they're pretty much waiting for fan reaction to Episode VIII before making a determination as to where they go for Episode IX and beyond.

While Rian Johnson wrote and directed Episode VIII, he's only writing Episode IX and from my understanding, that script is no where near completed. It's in the outline stage only.

Once Episode VIII has been fully edited and assembled, the film will screen for Lucasfilm and Disney brass, along with other creatives. At that point, they'll likely have some reshoots and re-edits, which happens on every blockbuster film. So it's quite possible that they won't have an idea for X and beyond until 2018 at the earliest and Carrie Fisher's death certainly throws a wrench in Episode IX.

The other rumors that I've heard consistently is that Disney and Ewan McGregor are keen on an Obi Wan trilogy. There's also been persistent chatter about going back to the Old Republic and focusing on Yoda, when he was a Padawan, so it's quite possible that Episode X-XII maybe not get a start until the late 2020's.

I'm ok with all of this. I really want the Obi Wan trilogy to go forward, but I'd be a sucker for a young Yoda too.

What does he require to be an 8 foot tall puppet?

I don't buy that.
