Doze Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 OK so Making Star Wars had a great insider post about the sets at Pinwood but was asked to take it down. TFN posted a news soty off this post and here it is. This could be a BIG **SPOILER** MakingStarWars.net has been following up with their sources at Pinewood Studios, and they've got some clarifications on other set-related rumors that have been floating around. Here are the basics from the report:There is a "Forest Fortress" set. It looks ruined and features a large sandstone-colored door. The set resembles Yavin IV more than Endor.There are no snow-planet sets at Pinewood. False reports about Hoth appearing in the movie may have come from the Everest snowscape set at Pinewood.The "Imperial stage," which is "huge," features a full-size TIE fighter prop and greenscreens on two sides.There is also a Star Destroyer bridge set, recognizable based on its "distincive triangular windows.

Doze Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 This Rumor is about Gwendoline Christie and her role as a Stormetrooper. Total rumor but a lot of fun Could be incorrect but this sounds like it backs up something I was told by someone working on the film.They said Stormtroopers play a major role, the empire still very much exists and that Gwendoline Christieplays a rogue stormtrooper who wears silver armour. To be fair, the person who told me this stuff is involved in costume/makeup etc. They’re knowledge regarding the story or the exact situation of the Empire could be a little sketchy, although I was also told that Han and Leia are divorced (or separated… something along these lines)so they must know roughly what’s going on plot wise. Again, this could be incorrect but I don’t see why it would be. From MSW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 That is quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas1138 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 That sounds like a story idea I would have had when I was 14... No, 10... No, 8. Yeah, eight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 So a hand, inside cloud city, falls into the core-- which goes down into the atmosphere of a gas giant... and it some how escapes the gravity of said planet, goes into space, and makes it to Tattooine without the ability to go lightspeed/hyperspace and STILL IS HOLDING ON TO THE LIGHTSABER. I take back everything I said about the EU being full of terrible ideas. That is actually worse. Which is why it is 100% false and likely made up by an idiot.

Ryn Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 If these kinds of rumors are to frustrate people, they're doing their job well. This latest one really upped the ante on mind-numbing stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowDog Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Also, I can think of 6 Heroes plots that were worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RelentlessMalice Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Does the hand floating in space come with a lens flare. If this was the storyline then it would be the dealbreaker. I mean this is worse then Han not shooting first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I wouldn't go that far. Even jar jar isn't worse than Han shooting second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good God a Bear Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Good grief if that is true it is going to be a terrible movie. You lose one hand, you get a pass. You lose two and you are utterly stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 What about two hands, part of an arm, both legs and the majority of your lung capacity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavonis Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I have no idea what to make of the latest hand rumor. It's silly enough to sound like a crazy fan's idea of symbolism and an artistic opening, but just plausible enough to be something Abrams would've thought of himself (which doesn't make it less stupid). It couldn't be Luke's original right hand that he lost at Cloud City, since that would've fallen into the planet. It could be his left hand, I suppose, but Luke was always depicted as right-hand dominant (wasn't he?), and that raises the question of why he'd be holding his lightsaber with his left hand (though it would answer why he lost it). I suppose it's possible that the hand is not Luke's, despite it triggering a quest for his whereabouts. It may link to the villain of the story; perhaps the lightsaber's blade is red? Perhaps Luke cut it off? I think Tank has the right rules for judging rumors. "If it sounds stupid, it's probably false" is a good rule of thumb. I'm 95% certain it is a false rumor.

Good God a Bear Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I will be laughing so hard in the theater if after the opening scrawl, it pans down to a planet and then instead of a star destroyer a hand starts tumbling from the top of the screen toward the planet.

The Human Torch Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 That'd be my dealbreaker. I would absolutely walk out. Promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacen123 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 If that actually, happened, I'd kind of have to give them a hand for doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I am shocked as hell an EU fan hasn't said that this is clearly double-talk for Mara Jade. She was the Emperor's Hand first, then married Luke.. so.. you know.. AND she used his old lightsaber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacen123 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 If we're going to tie this to the books, then this is clearly a reference to The Glove of Darth Vader, which means we can expect Trioculus to be the major villain with Luke hiding out in the Lost city of the Jedi under the surface of Yavin 4.

Good God a Bear Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Actually it will turn out to be Jaime Lannister's hand from a parallel universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 To be fair, I am totally on board with this idea as an episode of LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles. This type of ridiculousness is made for that. It would be freaking great. As a plot for a film I'm totally out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
