after all this jedi training it's more like Daisy Ripped-ly amirite

Daisy, radly.

who is the young girl?

Carrie's daughter Billie Lourde, who has a role in the new one.

She was in FA too, I think.

Don’t read that story if you want to go in spoiler free, btw.

SPOILERS

*a Death Star blows up*

xxp yeah, she had like one line in FA. She was also on FOX's "Scream Queens."

Shakey don't join the Whineylympics man

you seem to be unfamiliar with shakester's SW thread shtick

when 4 out of 7 films feature a space ball it's warranted

i mean 5 out of 8 films (forgot rogue one)

in future installments every character will be played by a death star

heh

What I learned from that is: while watching TCM, Hamill scarfs a whole box of wheat thins, while Fisher would drink all the coca-cola.

do the jedi's win?

You're like Method Man asking Ghostface "Is he dead?"

Only if Meth misspelt "Dead"

I have a bad feeling about this one.

Hahaha.

lol

"Yeah? Well that guy doesn't work here anymore."

not sure where else to put this but jeez, living hard to the end.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Carrie Fisher's autopsy report shows the actress had cocaine in her system when she fell ill on a plane last year, but investigators could not determine what impact the cocaine and other drugs found in her system had on her death.

The report released Monday states Fisher may have taken cocaine three days before the Dec. 23 flight on which she became ill. She died four days later.

It also found traces of heroin and MDMA, which is also known as ecstasy, but that they could not determine when Fisher had taken those drugs. The findings were based on toxicology screenings done on samples taken when the Star Wars actress arrived at a Los Angeles hospital.

that is tragic

a sorrow indeed

nice journalism there, well done 👍

the only good part of the AP report was her brother's comments which boiled down to "who gives a fuck, my sister is dead"

i feel really sad but conflicted about this because she was an addict yes but whether any of these drugs in her system contributed to her death is not really established? also how *much* was in her system isnt really covered? some of these stay in yr system for a while so to the layperson it makes it sound like she was partying her tits off or on some kind of "tragic bender" or something

not to be captain save a carrie but releasing this without concurrent analysis/explanation seems p irresponsible because it allows the the opportunity to misinterpret given her history of substance abuse

tl:dr

seriously though, todd fisher's statement is basically that. she ate bad foods and smoked a lot and had heart disease. neither her suddenly dying nor the fact she'd had some drugs is a mystery, when she talked about all of those things all the time in stage shows

yeah exactly

someday my family will be like, "he died like he lived, drinking a little too much and being a complete klutz" when I manage to trip and fall down an open manhole outside the bar

Glimpses of characters (including Finn in Imperial/FO uniform and pink haired Laura Dern) and creatures (a wolf made of ice?) and most importantly CasinoWorld here

Loving the look of it!

little characters that are kind of cute but probably not dominating 1/3 of the movie like the ewoks would be pretty great

in other news I did trip while exiting a bar this weekend

Looking ahead one movie, meantime: can an interview be described as 'beige'?

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/colin-trevorrow-defends-star-wars-episode-ix-directing-gig-book-henry-reviews-1021534

The director — who also helmed Safety Not Guaranteed and Jurassic World — also thanked Italy for its history of supporting the arts and said, "In America right now, it is difficult to make art."

lol

fingerpaint embargo

I...don't understand anything about that quote.

Except maybe that it might be difficult for Colin Trevorrow to make art, in America or elsewhere.

Sadly this is evidently not the case!

But is it art?

That last Jurassic thing is the dumbest thing I've paid to see in the theater in aaaaages. Entertaining enough in the moment but really dumb and instantly forgettable.

Trevorrow sounds like a bit of a putz

Lots of new pictures/details here:

But there is another alien life-form inhabiting the primeval Jedi temple.

“They’re kind of these sort of fish-bird type aliens who live on the island,” Johnson says. “They’ve been there for thousands of years, and they essentially keep up the structures on the island.”

The Caretakers are slightly more anthropomorphic than the porgs. They’re animated with a person inside (Daisy Ridley said a friend played one of them) and they wear clothes and speak in an alien tongue.

“They’re all female, and I wanted them to feel like a remote sort of little nunnery,” Johnson says. “Neal Scanlan’s crew designed them, and costume designer Michael Kaplan made these working clothes that also reflected sort of a nun-like, spartan sort of existence.”

They can communicate with Luke through what Johnson describes as “a blubbery sort of Scottish fish talk” but they’re not thrilled to have him hanging around. Johnson says they “tolerate” his presence.

The Force is connected with life. Yoda’s world of Dagobah was a swamp, teeming with flora and fauna, and so this ocean world would naturally evolve beings who are drawn to this sacred place. Johnson said they’re amphibious and may have risen up from the seas to tend to the buildings on this craggy archipelago eons ago.

“You get the sense they did at some point or maybe they occasionally do [return to the sea,] but when we see them, they’re land creatures,” Johnson says. “They’re these big matronly creatures, but they have these little skinny little bird feet. They were really fun to work with on set.”

“a blubbery sort of Scottish fish talk”

cultural appropriation imo #boycottstarwars
