Spoilers All Things STAR WARS - News, Speculation & Spoilers Thread

Don't know why I didn't notice this sooner.

Dave Filloni is so very very sneaky. (I do note the absence of the Loth Cat drawing though; Must have been a later addition to the prop,)
Side note; an Admiral and two Navy Colonels just hanging out at a backwater pilot's watering hole? That's not at all conspicuous . . .

One nit where they could improve authenticity, and I speak from experience here: it's okay to wear your flight bag in the bar, but you generally don't need to wear all the hardware that goes over it. That'd be like hanging out in the club in your bag, with your survival vest and maybe a parachute strapped on, to have a beer. Not only not necessary, but possibly damaging to your gear. (Or your drunk wingman activates your flotation as a gag, and now you owe the entire paraloft pizza and suds).

 

[The Wormhole]

Meh, we already had pilots in full gear attending the party on Endor at the end of ROTJ. At this part, they're just adhering to canonical precedent.

That's a thing we care about this week, isn't it?

But it looks cool.

Thats next week.

This week it's about realism.

I'm just going to pretend that it's ingrained into star-pilots never to be out of arms reach of their helmet and life-support gear while on ready stand-by. Partly because they could be scrambled at a moment's notice, and partly because while aboard ship, it's a precaution against decompression.
That last part doesn't make a huge amount of sense given everyone else aboard ship just wears normal clothes, but this is a civilization that's had spaceflight for tens, if not hundreds of thousands of years. If there's one thing I know from personal experience, it's that the military loves to hold onto archaic traditions, well past the point of relevance (and yet will still insist on changing all the acronyms every five minutes.)

The Lando show is now a movie.

Hmm. Based on what was said it sounds more like a movie is just the direction the conversation is going (or rather was possibly going before the strike), rather than it being a done deal. Indeed as they say themselves; with the strike on it's all kind of murky what's actually on the slate and what's not, or even if there is a slate anymore.

Either way, I kind of think I'd prefer a series, if for no other reason than to give the character some room to breath in the extended screen time. Honestly though at this point, I kinda prefer ALL of Star Wars be in show form, as unrealistic as that is!

As much as Solo is possibly my favourite Disney Star Wars movie (switching places with Rogue One depending on my mood) my only major complaint about it is how little time we're given with the characters. We barely get an introduction to Beckett's crew before they're all killed off, same for L-3. I loved the cast and characters, I just wanted more time with them!

 

[JD]

Yeah, I was really looking forward to the series giving us a deeper dive into the character too, so I'm disappointed by the news. I'm still looking forward to it as a movie, just not quite as enthusiasticly as I would be if it was still a series.

Wonder if Snoke could show up in the Mando-timeline, he's alive, possibly not disfigured ( that happened at a not mentioned time) Would love Andy to come in and play a younger Snoke.
Wonder if Jacen and Ben skywalker were freinds at the jedi Academy.. ?
Also, Lukes Academy was active for decades, I highly doubt all his trained jedi were at the academy during the force storm.
and that would be a way to introduce others in Rey's upcoming movie.

 

[Ithekro]

I wonder if the Lucasfilm Story Group is setting up their proxy Solo/Skywalker children of the old EU. We have Ben Solo already in the role of Jacen Solo. Rey seems to roughly take the role of Jaina Solo. So could Jacen Syndula be taking the role of Anakin Solo or Ben Skywalker? And if so, who will fill the remaining role? Finn? If Finn, then Jacen Syndulla is filling in the Anakin Solo role...which means he may be the best of them...but die heroically too early.

 

[Reverend]

I seriously doubt there's any conscious effort in that direction. Plus I really don't see any significant parallels between Rey & Jaina besides "is female" and "has lightsaber".

Did Snoke ever not look like that? I had assumed that was just the way that he looked. After we saw the tanks with Snokes in Rise of Skywalker, I had thought it was just a problem with the way he was created.

Wonder if Jacen and Ben skywalker were freinds at the jedi Academy.. ?

Would they have been there at the same time? Do we even know if Jacen ever went to the Academy.

Also, Lukes Academy was active for decades, I highly doubt all his trained jedi were at the academy during the force storm.

I've wondered about that too, I would have expected Luke to have a lot more students than what we saw in the flashback in The Last Jedi, and that they would have been a pretty good chance some of them might not have been there when Ben killed everyone else. Could we have gotten a second Purge with Kylo and the Knights of Ren hunting down the Jedi who weren't at the Academy?

Was reading wookiepedia, and they "Say" that something happened, accident, torture etc, that scarred him. so I'd say at sometime he looked more intact. and he was "Created" ROTJ timeframe.. according to the currently cannon comics/ books etc. So if I read it right he's out there in the Mando time, doing something, and considering Leia knows of him, there's a chance of seeing him.

Just speculating with Jacen, nothing as of yet written on Jacen's future. Just hope they don't pull a Jacen Solo's darkside fall.. they did that with Ben.. Don't need a retread.

and whats wrong with people having a happly ever after? Not EVERY character needs tradgedy in there lives. I know its supposidly good for story purposes, but it is a VERY BIG crutch that is overused.
Reminds me of a story James Cameron told Leonadro for Titanic, Leo wanted some type of limp or some other impediment, and James said NO, You don't need a crutch.

 

[Coops]

Is it just me or is The Volume becoming really noticeable now? Maybe I wouldn't notice it if I didn't know it was there but there's so many, many shots and tracking shots where you can pretty much make out where the physical props and cast members stop and the Volume begins. Trek also suffers from that occasionally but they do seem to blend it's use in much more subtly than the new SW shows do. YMMV

 

[fireproof78]

Nothing.

But, few stories have it if they continue. Star Wars just follows classic literature in this idea.

What's the source? If an assertion on wookieepedia isn't backed up by a specific source it is of dubious value to say the least.

 

[Reverend]

Was reading wookiepedia,

Well clearly that was your first mistake. The main body of text in Wookipedia articles are notoriously unreliable. Best to just use the references to track down actual source material than trust some rando's interpretation of it.

Even then, there's not a lot of point to go looking for any clear answers about Snoke. Not a huge amount of thought was put into him, and the various filmmakers appeared to change their minds on the topic at least twice along the way by my count. As such there's all kinds of weird contradictory information from tie-in media for each of the movies.

As far as things stand right now; Suffice to say he looked basically the same in his earliest appearance as he did his last (albeit with a different outfit), and the fact that the clone copies of him floating around in that jar on Exogol also looked identical makes it a safe assumption that his disfigurements were inherent to the process that created him, and that he was nowhere near as ancient as some were led to believe. In point of fact there's good reason to presume that he was younger even than Ben. Hell, for all we know Sidiouus had to quietly swap him out for a fresh copy every few months.

Bottom line: he was just a meat puppet that doesn't really have a story all his own.

Who knows. Maybe we've already seen Snoke. In the most recent episode of Ahsoka some random masked dude got a lightsabre in the face and it made me think of Snoke's scar in the same area. Whether he shows up or not people will look for him.
