The celebrity lusting is going to be nuts, isn't it. It definitely got weird for Carrie Fisher back in the day.
I thought about that as well when I saw the reaction from her on instagram

Wonder if she ready for all the weird fans she might have
 
There was just a thread on this, I believe.

Yes, you can take the title to mean multiple things if you want, but it was concieved and implemented to solely be a reference to Luke Skywalker. That's it. He is the Jedi that is Returning.
 
No, Vader rejects the sith and returns to his Jedi roots before dying. That's what the title refers to.

Or, at least, I think it's a lot more powerful that way.

Film was originally to be titled Revenge of the Jedi, was it not?

Don't know if that changes anything, but thought I'd throw that into the discussion.

That was the original title, but it got changed because lucas thought the idea of a jedi pursuing revenge went against their ideals iirc.


I think even that title name could refer to Luke or Anakin, but RotJ is clearly meant to refer to luke.
 
Marvel belongs to Disney....


You don't say.... Prominent for what? Looper? lol

You guys seriously think that the signed directors for VIII and IX will have lots of creative freedom when making these films? I seriously doubt that. This is way too big for Disney.

Yeah, I think they'll have a decent amount of freedom. It sounds like JJ and Lawrence Kasdan have with the Force Awakens. Disney have and will have a hands-off approach with Lucasfilm, as they have with Marvel.

And Johnson did direct a few episodes of one of the most critically acclaimed TV shows in Breaking Bad, so he's obviously quite well regarded.

Rian Johnson is a more exciting and creative director than JJ. Looper is fantastic, Ozymandias is one of the best TV episodes ever made, Brick is amazing. He wasn't hired to be a yes man, he was hired for his talents.
 
Wedge was a great pilot, he was not force sensitive.
Han was a great pilot, he was not force sensitive.
For fuck sake come on.
Two of the biggest curses of the interwebs, fan fiction and fan speculation.

True.
Im not saying he HAS to be Force sensitive, just saying, he's the best pilot in the galaxy therefore it wouldn't be a stretch to suggest that he is force sensitive.

You know what would be funny, is if Rey was a Skywalker and she WASNT force sensitive.

Woaah no need to jump on NutJobJim there, wasn't saying Poe must be force sensitive, said it's not a stretch!

Thank you! Haha

Thank you! Haha

I dont think you can have a skywalker that isnt, if Anakin is truly conceived through some force methods imagine being the only skywalker in existence with no powers.

A bit like being Brian Christ.
 
Lucasfilm is making the movies.

Disney isn't telling Lucasfilm what to do or how to do it on a creative level.

Just like they don't for Marvel. Or Pixar.

Or ESPN or ABC.

We'll just keep saying this over and over and over and over again until its drilled into everybody's heads.

DISNEY HAS NO CREATIVE CONTROL OVER THIS MOVIE

THEIR LOGO WON'T EVEN SHOW UP IN THE OPENING CRAWL

The weird thing is why does this STILL not sink in for people? Hell Bob Iger has been on the record about how his policy with subsidiaries is let them do their own thing.



Guys why don't we see the Disney castle opening in front of ESPNs 30 for 30 films?!?!?!?
 
It would be explained by the fact that the whole "having to train for it" idea came 22 years after the "Anakin is a Force ghost" idea.

To be a force ghost your mind must be trained to reach self acceptance, accept your dark side but not let it control you. Reject the easy path, reject temptations.

Vader did all of these and more when
he redeemed himself.
 
This thread turned from a fun trailer viewing to a damm hot mess, I've lost count of the various random arguments that have broken off in this thread haha

Alternatively, when he was written to become a ghost, there was absolutely no indication that wasn't just what happened to all Jedi.
 
They really opened a can of worms with that Force Ghost business and how sketchy that works.

"You have to face Vader alone, I can't help you"

"I mean...you here right now tho. You could show up and give me tips, or distract this nigga or something, fam. SOMETHING. What, do you have recharge your Force Ghost battery or something?"

"...from a certain point of view, yeah."
 
I haven't seen a single one of these "supercuts" blending all the teasers & the trailer that does it well. Either they arrange the shots decently but drop the ball on the music sfx, or they simply just turducken the footage and don't even bake the bird fully.

I've got some ideas stewing, but I make no promises on whether I'll be able to finish it.

I need that trailer music in my life

Music only version of the trailer, if you haven't come upon it yet.

I always viewed it as Ben being an asshole and throwing a tantrum because Luke wouldn't do what Ben wanted.

In one of the drafts, Ben is actually physically reincarnated and travels with Luke to the Emperor's throne room on Had Abbadon, although he pretty much doesn't do anything so it's kind of pointless. And Yoda's Force ghost pops in and out of existence to deflect Palpatine's Force lightning.

I'm glad they turned it into what it is.

Having experienced the prequels I can easily believe these.
 
I heard Yoda wasn't even suppose to be in RotJ, but they needed somebody to say to "Yep, Vader's your dad. Don't know why Obi-Wan told you otherwise, but lol. That was some deceptive shit. Anyway cya also there's another Skywalker *dies*"
