[Matt Defis]

The Tartovsky Clone Wars aren't canon

Fuck that then.

Hey, can we edit the thread title to remove the episode number?

[Captain Kelsten]

Alright, you pedant.

I've always thought that Stormtroopers look so much happier when they turn that frown upside down...

Anyone remember that weird short film that played before Empire Strikes Back..? A print has been rediscovered and it's up on YouTube. Relive those childhood memories of being slightly confused and disturbed, but mostly kind of bored... I can still remember certain images from it, so it must have made an impression though.

I understand the studio dropping it as a marketing strategy, but i'll be gutted if it isn't there in December.

It will be. Don't be daft. This is Episode VII. The movie we were never, ever going to get.

We'll be watching it in 7 months.

[JohnC]

It's apparently not in the movie title but will be in the opening crawl.

This Wired article on ILM looks really good. I've not read it all yet.

Really good article that. Just shows how forward thinking ILM were back at the start.

GARY RYDSTROM (SOUND DESIGNER AND DIRECTOR): When the T-1000 goes through the doors in the mental institution? Turns out that if you hold a can of dog food upside down, the sound of that cylinder slowly coming out of the can is the perfect combination of mud, metal, and suction. That sound effect cost 75 cents.

Very cool.

Fantastic read. I love the way Twister was green lit purely on a small test shot of tornado CG, before a script had been written.

And:

KNOLL: People dont give George the credit that he deserves. The work he did on the prequels enabled a kind of filmmaking that has kept the industry alive.

Picked one of those up from the Lucas Film shop. And a Han Solo frozen in carbonite ice cube tray. My nerd game when supping cool, cool beverages is strong.

20 seconds of blurry leaked stunt filming.

210 days to go everybody!

This may or may not be a detailed synopsis of the film. Spoilers obviously.

Sounded very like a JJ movie with the old Star Wars cast. My expectations have been tempered a little which is porberly a good thing.

If its real.....Not crazy atall about all the coincidences between Han and his alleged offspring. . one a dark lord of the universe and the other a scavenger.. that know nothing of him, or each other... i mean really? feels unnecessarily forced -to make great story telling,

[SpagMasterSwift]

Not a fan of how they have taken the "Princess" part of Princess Leia and the "Knight" part of Jedi Knight and come up with castles, catapults, broadswords and shit...I don't want King Arthur in my Star Wars thanks.

[Alex W.]

Isn't that just a list of things from the trailers and leaks with complete bullshit gluing it all together?

[Vulgar Monkey]

Yeah I'm not sold on it either.

Supreme Leader Snoke

[Spacehost]

That's hilarious and I can't pin down why.
