chortles 263 Posted April 20, 2015 I'm a fan of the theory at the beginning of this post: http://imgur.com/gallery/w5MHii8 Besides "it's a movie"/"plot armor" (especially when contrasted with how much better the stormies do against unnamed Rebels), I remember one past claim about a particularly bad shipment of E-11 blaster rifles that never got that manufacturer dealt with until Endor, by which point it was far too late.

Lenyoga 326 Posted April 20, 2015 I do wonder where they're going with the villain though. When I first saw the mask, I instantly had to think of Revan, but those assumptions have been dissipated as soon as they spit out the name. Any ideas who or what Kylo Ren could be? I don't remember the name from any games or EU material, which makes sense as they threw that overboard when writing the story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted April 20, 2015 This is not all and more to come in 2016!Star Wars Rogue One, first standalone movie related to original trilogy. http://variety.com/2015/film/news/star-wars-rogue-one-plot-details-death-star-1201475420/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivv51UmwTrw Holy smoke... I'm really upset about this... or about as upset as I can be about a movie. I was really hoping it was going to be a Rogue Squadron movie. I think that would've been really cool. But now they seem to be undoing one of my favorite game franchises and characters; Dark Forces and Kyle Katarn. Damn you Abrams!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted April 21, 2015 Eh, the reboot of the canon policy already undid them, this is just filling that void. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted April 26, 2015 Eh, the reboot of the canon policy already undid them, this is just filling that void. But they could've used the story as it was still. I suppose there could still be something similar enough that I might like. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted April 26, 2015 But they could've used the story as it was still.Not so when Lucasfilm Story Group's evidently got a much tighter grip on licensing than Lucasfilm Licensing used at the time of Dark Forces, and even an untrained Kyle Katarn would undermine the very "no Jedi, it's all on non-Force sensitives" theme that Lucasfilm Story Group signed off on for the new canon's "Death Star plans" story... plus it conveniently lets LSG ignore the fandom rumblings that would have perpetually festered if they had depicted Kyle Katarn as non-Force-sensitive.

vilas 473 Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) there is advertisement campaign already - today in my city, in ca. 15 people in uniforms , Lord Vader and R2D2 were travelling subway , probably even i and my woman get caught by cameras cause they were standing next to me, people in subway wagon were very surprised when dozen of men in uniforms came to wagon :) they were playing people traveling to job, cause everyone had briefcase i was sitting next to but photographer from press didn't catch me (3 hours ago, when traveling to office) Edited May 4, 2015 by vilas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted May 5, 2015 Not saying that it isn't for sure but it probably wasn't an advertisement. Today/yesterday was May the Fourth (May the force be with you) and a lot of people dress up in Star Wars gear for it or Celebrate Star Wars in some other way.

krzychuzokecia 700 Posted July 11, 2015 So it looks like they're going with practical effects instead of CGI? If so, then congratulations - a rare sight these times... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sudayev 27 Posted October 20, 2015 Steamin hot new trailer, watch it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProfTournesol 956 Posted October 20, 2015 Nice trailer, but it seems they want to create a mashup of the three main épisodes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
negah 26 Posted October 20, 2015 Is it me or does the actress look a lot like Padme? Maybe her granddaughter? On IMDB her character is listed as Rey, without a surname... Would be funny to watch Luke bring a "I am your father!" line :D EDIT: ok internet is full of speculations she is a decendant of Skywalkers, well we will see in two months I guess.

x3kj 1247 Posted October 22, 2015 imperium looks pretty neat... hopefully it's not completely made up of moronic failures like in all the other episodes.... EDIT: ok internet is full of speculations she is a decendant of Skywalkers, well we will see in two months I guess. Watch teaser #2 again and it should be pretty much clear (cause the only sensible option based on info right now aka maincharacters) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
