Star Wars Anthology shit talk (Rogue One, Young Solo, TBD)

jmm too.

next movie begins with luke poised to accept his lightsaber from rey - as his fingers make contact the camera zooms way out, off the surface of the planet, zooming faster out across the whole star wars universe until it exits a familiar-looking grey metal aperture, pulling back even further until it become clear that everything that happened in the previous seven star wars movies all happened inside one mammoth death star

then the death star explodes and a feature-length episode of supernanny begins

there it is

So I like this movie more and more in retrospect and really looking forward to watching it again at home.

One criticism though is of the 'Rogue One' shuttle itself. Obviously Jyn is the "rogue one" but the design for the namesake shuttle is deeply boring when compared to the shuttle Tyderium or the U-Wing which is I guess the "signature" ship of the film.

it's the everyshuttle

I think the main problem with all the recent shuttles is they don't look like they have cockpits. I know they do, but the glass on them is very small and it almost looks like they're drones.

Also, the wing sweeps are all over the place. Can't tell if it's coming or going.

Chris Miller tweets from the set of the Solo, uh, solo movie. Look at the working title.

Completely separately, Veg Grrl has explaining to do

aussie blokes are stereotypically not known for slowing things down the sack so up-tempo + short run time actually kinda makes sense to me

:D

Oh my

journalistic standards at gizmodo so low that the writer of this article didn't even note that the genre the band play is called 'jizz'

The American Gizmodo share of said story went there...again and again.

I assume they'll all just look like this in the movie because why not. Then again...

Woody's looking...intense.

Woody looks hungry.

looking at that wondering who is supposed to be Han Solo

this movie's gonna suck, isn't it?

Han is the dude in the button-up blue shirt.

Woody looks like he's watching a super keen game of space jenga or something.

I think Donald lost.

God I hope they don't go all "Guardians Of The Galaxy" /dopey bro humor for this.

It's basically going to be Community in space

lol Fleabag is in this??

Holy shit you're right! My girlfriend and I just started watching that a few days ago.

Fleabag is playing a hologram supposedly. i'm all for it.

(best thing i've seen on BBC in about 10 years)

Yeah we're only two episodes in and it's just amazing.

everyone just chilling in their street clothes except for chewie who doesn't even get to take off his bandolier :(

Thought this was a reference to Chewie

Wth is "Fleabag"?

excellent bbc dramedy written by and starring phoebe waller-bridge, who will apparently be playing a droid in this thrilling new han solo adventure

This movie's gonna suck, isn't it?

Nah I think it could be fun and might entertainingly piss off a load of purists.

Michael K. Williams is joining the cast.

Best news I've heard about the project so far.

Gareth Edwards directed Rogue One. A key locale in that film is called “Scarif.” Gareth and Scarif sort of rhyme. Mere coincidence? Apparently not. During a talk at SXSW, Edwards explained that he came up with the name of the gorgeous planet where the film’s big battle goes down after a coffee shop employee bastardized the spelling of his own.

This all came about, he explained, when writer Gary Whitta, who had been thinking up most of the monikers, tasked Edwards with devising one. Edwards then decided to mull it over with some coffee, and went to a ”particular, very well known” establishment. (We’re going to go ahead and guess Starbucks.) When he got his beverage, he had a Eureka moment. “When they asked for my name I must have said, ’It’s Gareth,’ because they wrote, ’Scarif’ on the coffee,” he said. “I just came back and I slid the coffee cup and I went, ‘It’s Scarif.’”

Glad I wasn't the director.
