Star Wars: The Force Awakens Final Trailer

Very LTTP, but I just realized that Kylo Ren (if that's him speaking) is reciting a pledge or a creed. To the burned helmet of Vader? Or to someone or something else?
 
I wonder how long it will take to release 10, 11 and 12 after 9. Guessing 3 years give or take.

They may decide to do more after this trilogy, but there never originally was a 10,11, or 12. Lucas had 9 episodes conceptualized and then three spin-off movies, like one focusing entirely on droids with no humans, another with all wookies, etc. Even he realized they were bad ideas and dropped them pretty early.
 
Love this deleted ROTJ scene. Luke chilling in a cave near Jabba's Palace, constructing his new lightsaber while Vader beckons him. Kinda wish it was in the movie, although some aspects better benefited with it out: https://youtu.be/KmpCd6MLHvY

My guess is that Force Awakens is going to be to the Star Wars franchise what Iron Man was for the MCU; a jumpstart to a oiled machine churning out 2 movies a year.
Episode 9 should be the end of the Skywalker saga, other movies could branch out into other aspects of this rich universe.

The Skywalker Saga won't end with 9. They will continue on with X-XII as another trilogy, no way they stop the main saga and go shift only to anthology films. Kathleen Kennedy said the anthology films are for the non-Skywalker stories while the saga films are about the Skywalker family.

I could see some of the Anthology films becoming their own mini sort of franchises. Like I could see us getting multiple Han Solo solo films after the first is out in 2018.

if the are clone wars are canon then you don't assemble a lightsable manually, the parts float up in the air and you mind control them into place.

But you could argue he is just "tweeking it" so it don't make a difference.

Since ROTJ came out many years before the Clone Wars cartoon,I seriously doubt that the "proper" way to build a lightsaber was ever really thought about. Unless the proper way was explained sometime back then that I'm not aware of of course.

One of the many stupid things to come out of the clone wars (still a great show, but some stuff in it thats potentially added to the canon... yeeashh)

luke was not trained the same way they were
maybe luke just thinks he doesn't want to be entirely dependant on the force 100% of the time? do something with your own hands from time to time for christ's sake.
 
Potentially? All of Clone Wars is canon.

Its only canon if its interpreted as such. Disney could put a light sabre construction scene in the next film that completely dismisses the clone wars interpretation of it and the film would be canon.

The clone wars specifically has a lot of aspects to it that take artistic liberty with the content to present it in a consumable, producable way. At the end of the day its canon until a film shows us differently, but a lot of aspects of it you just have to roll your eyes at and say "its a star wars cartoon, its not 100% dead serious with everything".

I think it was mainly due to limitations of what Lucas could do with VFX.

That's true of literally everything ever... Things that are canon are always "canon until replaced".

No Lucasfilm says it's canon:

http://www.starwars.com/news/the-legendary-star-wars-expanded-universe-turns-a-new-page

He set the films he created as the canon. This includes the six Star Wars episodes, and the many hours of content he developed and produced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. These stories are the immovable objects of Star Wars history, the characters and events to which all other tales must align.
 
So Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi aren't canon?
He wrote those. And edited them. And produced them. They are his movies.

The first saga 6 films and the Clone Wars were deemed by Lucasfilm as the unmovable objects of Star Wars canon. That ALL future media will have to adhere to.

Anyone who wants to convince themselves that TCW or the prequels aren't canon are lying to themselves and in denial.

This is pretty damn clear in the press release:

Sorry to hear that man

Thoughts and prayers are with you during this trying time

Save that for the people that can't see a decent starwars movie even if it hits it on the head.

OT nostalgia is a powerfull thing though.

EP3 is on par with the OT and better than EP6.

:P

Yup. Sure I know some people somehow see them not too far off the OT. The majority of Star Wars fans everywhere you look feel embarrassed about the prequels. They were just poor. No amount of trying to guilt me and calling me out on hyperbole is going to change the fact THEY ARE FUCKING SHIT.

You keep saying this like if you desperatly need it to become true, but no, they are not "fucking shit" at all.

Fuck just having Wiliams OST on them is enough to negate that for fuck sakes.
 
It begs the question though: How much will the prequels be referenced in major ways in the new films?

For example, Jurassic World didn't exactly remove The Lost World and Jurassic Park 3 from the JP canon, it just didn't exactly majorly acknowledge them as they weren't particurly important to the film's story, which mainly focused on following up on events from the first film. I wonder if this will be the same with the Sequel Trilogy and the Prequel Trilogy. TFA so far seems to be referencing the OT much more than the PT.
 
You don't have to build a lightsaber the Clone Wars way. Since Luke didn't have the same sort of training he probably just read a manual and tinkered with the shit by hand until it worked to his liking.
 
As I said and another person said, its true until its not. Its a cartoon, dont take it too seriously.

"These stories are the immovable objects of Star Wars history, the characters and events to which all other tales must align."

Yes I would take it seriously. They made it as blunt as possible with that statement,

We have had comments after this press release from those on the Lucasfilm story group that The Clone Wars is treated as equal as the 6 films in terms of canon due to it being directly from Lucas. The George Lucas sanctioned canon is the centerpiece of all Star Wars canon including TCW.

Episodes I-VI and The Clone Wars are the Bible of the Star Wars universe and all future media is it were, being the official canon from George Lucas himself. Everything else is secondary and must align with I-VI & TCW above all else. That is how the Story Group is operating.
 
There is a reason why we are doing the prequel doesn't exist jokes. Disney and everyone knows the less prequel is in the new moves the better so everyone just friendly ignores the prequel movies.

Just look at the Star Trek merchandise there isn't much or even at all prequel stuff anymore.
 
As I said and another person said, its true until its not. Its a cartoon, dont take it too seriously.

All the ideas there were directly from George.

We really need to stop with the '"Cartoons are no true stories!" mentality.

For Lucasfilm this cartoon is as serious as any movie. As it should be.
