ShadowDog Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Yeah but plenty of single lines in the movies are incorrect though. The Stormtroopers are excellent marksmen? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas1138 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 You guys have become caricatures of yourselves all for the sake of carrying out some silly vendetta against effing books. Let's defer to Occam's Razor here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Maybe the Hutts like to present themselves as something other than gangsters. Maybe they have good PR. So then you have the Dons saying, "We're family men, business men. We take care of our community." Then you have a police sergeant say, "The Dons are gangsters!" A similar swerve but not the same was done by BioWare with their Dragon Age franchise. Now granted Dragon Age didn't have kazillions of fans reading two decades of expanded material about their beloved universe, but BioWare did do this type of "term swerve" and when they did it the fans accepted it. In their case; The Qunari had been presented as a race initially. Like Dwarves or Elves. Then in the sequel story the Qunari are shown to still be a race but also religion. BioWare played with the idea like so (the following is typical in-game Qunari logic); Hero: "Hello, Qunari Leader. I wish to talk about why you hate my friend here."[Hero points to another Qunari]Qunari Leader: "He is not Qunari."Hero: "But he is Qunari. Just like you."Qunari Leader: "He looks like me. He is not me or like me."Hero: "Is Qunari not your people's name?"Qunari Leader: "It is."Hero: "You say you do not hate your own. You say you are Qunari. And yet you attack my friend, who is Qunari."Qunari Leader: "He is not Qunari."Hero: "Okay. So Qunari is a status. Then what is your people's name?"Qunari Leader: "No. We are Qunari. He is not Qunari."[an elf walks by]Elf: "Hello, Fellow Qunari."Qunari Leader: "Hello, Fellow Qunari."Hero: "She was Qunari, but he is not?"Qunari Leader: "Yes. She is not of us, but she is Qunari."Hero: "He is of you, what is he?"Qunari Leader: "Not Qunari."[Hero gives up] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryn Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Though it doesn't explain Captain Panaka's line in TPM "The Hutts are gangsters!" since that would be like saying "the Mafia Dons are gangsters!" now. Well, duh!But nearly every single Panaka line was superfluous. Next time I watch TPM I'm going to say "Duh!" after each one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Human Torch Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 It's not too surprising that the biggest box office draw might have a bigger role. Interesting from a storyline perspective however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Eh-- they say JJ wants to focus on the young new cast, but everywhere says the whole reason they tossed Arndts script was because JJ wanted the OT cast. This feels like somebody just making up fluff that's too plain to dismiss, to obscure to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowDog Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Both things could be true. The first movie is a original cast heavy flick that also serves to pass the torch to the newbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 It wouldn't surprise me if a deal came out eventually, though. I mean, I don't know the logistics and I don't really care, but it seems like a potential win for both companies. Disney benefits from reminding people of what they loved about Star Wars without crazy old Lucas messing with it and Fox gets money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Oh totally agree-- but the rumor mill says nothing about Fox which is why I think it's BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Between no mention of Fox and it really just being one site reporting it (everyone else is using that site as the source) it's not believable, but I do believe that someone is working on it.

RamonAtila Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 That was a major plot in the EU, and I remember GL's treatment was said to contain nothing from the EU. Then again, they said that and it still will contain Han and Leia's daughter like the EU, so I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue 3 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Saw a link to this site today with some supposedly leaked concept art for Episode VII. So, potential spoilers ahead! http://m.joblo.com/joblo/news/56407 Ps, apologies if this has been posted elsewhere - I hadn't seen it myself!

Darth Krawlie Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Why the hell is Rouge 2 so prominent on the first pic? Whoever photoshopped that together must be the actor's son or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Assuming the girl is Daisy's character and judging the Disfigured Cloaked Guy by appearance, it would seem that in early production Daisy's character was planned to have featured contact with the villain.

Driver Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Damn-- the pro quality of these images and how perfectly they line up with the few legit spy photos we've seen make me think these are legit. That said, I am on the Pinewood lot THIS VERY SECOND and can see the main stage they are using from my window. No one is panicking. And security here is so freaking tight-- I again can't help but suspect these are intentional leaks. Â All that aside, they look pretty damn awesome. Interesting that the Falcon / X-Wing base we've seen is called "pirates cove" implying they are NOT the reigning government... also that it is the legacy set to the Massassi Temple...
