star wars 9 grim resignation thread

droids keep getting smaller while lightsabers, like hairdryers, remain stuck in the same form factor as they were in the 70s

the lando and chewie bit is actually the first time the post-credits scene has been used in a teaser trailer; JJ still has some tricks up his sleeve, you see

Did he shoot from a script this time or is this gonna be another movie written in the edit bay

Which Beastie Boys song will he play in this one (my money is on 'Girls')

(Probably played over the climactic Rey/Ren fight in lieu of the same old John Williams snoozeage)

Which Beastie Boys song will he play in this one (my money is on 'Girls')

Whills! to keep a journal
Whills! to study the Force
Whills! That's all I really want, is Whills
two at a time, I want Whills
defying oblivion through compassion, I want Whills

ridin cross the land
kickin up sand
first order's on my tail because i'm in demand

all by myself without nobody
the sun is beatin down on my spherical DOME
i have no diegetic function, i wanna go HOME

you cant you wont you dont HOTH

I'm kinda trying to do something with egg man here but it doesn't seem to need any changes

the first few lines are about Lobot iirc

Excuse me, I have to go pitch a Beasties-scored Lobot movie to Disney real quick.

Egg Raid on Lobot

Lololol

Vader will show up in this one surely.

Jar Jar please

Mace Windau

I wonder if Force Ghost Luke will finally get those power converters he was supposed to pick up forever ago.

Toshi Station has his picture behind the counter lest any of their clerks ever gets suckered into ordering shit that some fershlugginer Skywalker won't ever wind up paying for.

I wasn't sure I was spelling Toshi Station correctly but I looked it up and my spelling was 100% correct. Whew!

change thread title to Egg Raid On Lobot imo

Since I didn't go to Star Wars Celebration this year for the first time since 2012, I've been at home this weekend watching all the livestreams and stuff. Not a lot was revealed during the Episode IX panel aside from the title, some stills (new costumes, Naomi Ackie's new character, Rose and Rey talking in what appears to be a Resistance base, etc.). But yeah, I was watching when the Ian McDiarmid thing happened, and the room went pretty insane.

Also watched the livestreams for the upcoming new "The Mandalorian" show, which actually looks pretty good. The sizzle reel and trailer that were shown were blacked out on the stream, but they've leaked to Reddit and some other places. (Recap and photos at https://www.starwars.com/news/swcc-2019-9-things-we-learned-from-the-mandalorian-panel) They're using a lot of practical and in-camera effects and models, and the actors are doing a lot of their own stunts.

Anyway

With the return of the Emperor, can Luuke Skywalker be far behind?

well they have to establish Jorus C'baoth first

and we'll need to know about his teenage years

not related to the new movie, but got a bit of a scare when I went to look up Boushh on Wookiepedia the other day and was met with a distressingly short article. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Boushh

Fortunately, I realized that they had divided each page into Canon and Legends tabs: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Boushh/Legends

"Legends" is obviously where the ridiculousness lives.

Episode IX trailer would have been better with Billy Dee's laugh in place of Palpatine's

Only the Legends are real imo.

agreed

With the return of the Emperor, can Luuke Skywalker be far behind?

does abrams have the stones to bring this epoch-spanning, generation-spanning series to a close with the epic reveal of mark hamill playing his own evil clone? only time will tell

If JJ cannot be persuaded, perhaps we will have to enlist the services of JJJJ.

j jonah jameson... junior?

JJ Abra'ams

guys what if jj abrams is the evil twin of j abrams

jj bottom

OMG, it would be the dumbest and most beautiful thing in the world if like Chewbaca and IG-8 and Jar Binks suddenly showed up out of nowhere to confront the clones that had replaced them years earlier.

Carl Weathers too, actually

Action Jaxxon

Please don't tease.

I'm watching the Episode I 20th anniversary panel while I'm at work, and based on that and an interview with Ahmed Best on the show floor yesterday (this is his first appearance at a convention), Lucas was prescient about one thing - the kids who grew up with Jar Jar love him. Who knew.

yeah, kids definitely like all kinds of stupid crap

eg star wars

quite

But the Ewoks were cute. And competant!
