The Star Wars Thread

[Chael P. Sonnen]

Here's a picture of the lovely bunch with the oldies!

[Hobo]

I hope Max von Sydow is playing the disembodied voice of Vigo the Carpathian.

[Benjamin]

It's nice that they invited R2 to that tea party too.

[LL!]

Boyega, Serkis, Gleeson, Driver, Isaac.

Man. I'm pumped.

[GoGo Yubari]

Also this is now even funnier in retrospect:

Outer? SPACE.

[Benjamin]

All they need is JT! I would fucking love the weirdness of Justin Timberlake in a Star Wars movie.

[TheSqauredCircleMessiah]

Oh, screw you, Wedge!

[Skummy]

...how many people were desperately hoping that Wedge Antilles would be in this movie anyway?

Are we going to hear from the actor who played Nien Nunb next?

[Benji]

I'm not even keen on them using Luke, Leia and Han, so who gives a fuck about Wedge Antilles.

[SeanDMan]

I don't really blame him for turning the part down, it wasn't originally written into the script but fans were asking the writers to include him so they sort of wedged the part in.

[apsham]

Wedge is pretty big in the Extended Universe, and a decent character. But since they are ignoring anything EU, I guess it makes sense.

[Colly]

Has he done anything of note bar Star Wars and Local Hero (with Doctor Who!)? I'd assumed he was long retired.

Edit: Wow, Holby City!

[Maxx]

Rumor has it Drew Struzan is coming out of retirement to make the poster for Episode VII

[therockbox]

Gareth Edwards is going to direct the first standalone film, which will be written by Gary Whitta (Book of Eli, After Earth).

[Benjamin]

Yeah, that might be the first time I get excited about a Star Wars film.

[Gabriel]

Star Wars: Rancors

I need a Star Wars monster film about the origin of the Rancor from Return.

[TheSqauredCircleMessiah]

Star Wars: Rancors

I need a Star Wars monster film about the origin of the Rancor from Return.

I can't wait for the moment when he meets that fat guard from Jaba's palace, it'd be be like seeing Romeo meet Juliet

[Benjamin]

Lupita Nyong'o and Gwendoline Christie has joined the cast! Man, this cast is easy to love!

[TKz]

So great, I can't wait. Love both those actresses. Christie is just fucking nuts in reality, I love her. Every interview she's in is hilarious. And Lupita Nyong'o is a self confessed FF8 fan. A woman after my own heart.

[GoGo Yubari]

Game of Thrones, Hunger Games, and Star Wars. Jeez, Gwendoline Christie (and her agent) is killing it. Hopefully Natalie Dormer can make the trifecta too at some point.
