Star Wars 8 shit talk

I missed that party.

Prince Harry apparently got to sit in the new A-Wing model the other day. So that means we get A-Wings in this one.

A-Holes

You're thinking Guardians of the Galaxy

I meant Prince Harry, actually

i've never wished harder that a-wings could actually be fired into space

Oh good they're changing Rey's hair

http://io9.gizmodo.com/princess-leia-was-going-to-play-a-large-role-in-star-wa-1790796565

why don't they just re-cast the role? I dunno I think the fans would understand.

CGI Peter Cushing in a wig, plz.

she falls into a rejuvenation pit and Billie Lourd plays the role

"why don't they just re-cast the role? I dunno I think the fans would understand."

uh, no, that would be a terrible idea. they're going to have to kill her off between 8 and 9. I don't see any other option.

I guess the easiest option would be to have Leia die in Ep. VIII, then bring her back in Ep. IX for a couple of crucial scenes as a Force ghost? That'd make the CGI feel less jarring, and there's already a presedence with Obi-Wan.

obviously the already-dead jedi devised some sort of force-based safety net to catch non-jedi after death, so they can bring han solo back as a ghost

A la Nancy Marchand's posthumous scenes in The Sopranos, they should have characters awkwardly responding to repurposed Leia footage from previous movies.

do they finally blow up the death star in this one

Yes but it's filled with tiny Death Stars.

Obligatory jeez where's my spoiler warning joke

I'm Snoke

Reports are that as of the next trilogy the series will be retitled Death Star Wars and will document a future world where sentient Death Stars of various sizes and alignments have supplanted all life in the galaxy and now spend their days evaporating one another.

(And I remembered halfway through typing out that utterly ridiculous scenario that, thanks to the EU, we know that the original Death Star HAD technically achieved sentience just before it was destroyed. Dear, dear lord.)

Your scenario sounds like Phantasm 6.

xp i don't recall the original death star achieving sentience but i do recall that bounty hunter droid mind-melding (apologies for geek terminology crossover) with the second death star moments before it was destroyed. and i resent my brain for maintaining that piece of information while discarding so much more useful stuff.

Oh sorry, you're right, it was the second Death Star. But, yeah, IG-88 uploading himself was what I was referring to and why I said 'technically'. I'm glad to know I'm not alone in my affliction.

can't they just use a different actress?

apparently not given the attitude upthread and in the nerdverse in general

Kinda feel like the attitudes noted here re: recasting Leia are not reflective of the nerdverse writ large.

wtf they cannot 'recast' leia. carrie fisher isn't david prowse or something.

Lily Tomlin is...Leia

they're bringing in the second mom from Fresh Prince to play her

maybe we can just overhear her from offscreen and only see shadows or she will conveniently be on the can every time she's in a scene

always holding something over her face

Someone find that Leia = Snoke thread on the jedi boards and report back please

We have a title: http://www.starwars.com/news/the-official-title-for-star-wars-episode-viii-revealed

oh shiiiiiit

So either Luke will die in this, so that Rey will become the eponymous character, or it'll have lots of flashbacks to the years when Luke literally was the last Jedi?

weird name to title the next version of the Death Star but hey, 6th time's a charm

so who is... the last jedi

*thinking emoji*

the death star was the last jedi, it had a consciousness
sad

we are ALL the last jedi

makes u think

I heard ur mom is the last jedi

What if Kylo Ren is the last Jedi, what about that, huh?

What's the plural for Jedi? Couldn't this just as easily mean "the last (two) Jedi"?

thinking it's about the transition from Luke to Rey -- so yeah, maybe Luke dies in this.

but also Star Wars: The Last Jedi Until the Next Franchise reboot about Rey's Kids and also the Ewoks she trained in Episode 9

The plural of "Jedi" is "Jedii"

xp
Kylo is Sith

you're sith

or maybe not, but would Jedi recognize him as one of them? I say no!

It's just a slow slide into full-bore degradation once you've become inured to the pleasures of Jar Jar's sugary tongue.
