I really was losing interest in Rebels with how they are pretty much pushing all the new characters to side in favor of Clone Wars and OT characters. Instead of building on the new cast that many need more development, it's like they just want to highlight and hinge the success of the show on appeasing fanboys. OMG look it's Rex! He's a regular... Vader, Maul.... oh these new characters? Lets not get into their stories, just kill them off quick, we got to give Maul time to shine.... again.

 

[Surfinn]

I wonder what percentage chance we've got of seeing the EP8 title this weekend.

Sunday would be the time to do it. I'm going 100%, personally.

 

[Nyanmaruz]

Ughhh...it's going to be my day off but I basically have to wake up at 7 in the morning to catch the Rogue One panel. The things I do for Star Wars godammit.

 

[Sesuadra]

I'm so hyped..gooooooood.

 

[BudokaiMR2]

Huh, one of the artists I work with is actually attending this event. Didn't realize it was this big...

I wish I was going. heh

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Gimme Obi Wan's movie watching young Luke in Tatooine.

 

[Qasiel]

I'm gonna be there on Saturday and I can't wait! Already ran into a few Americans at the O2 last night in for the event. It's gonna be great!

 

[Jables Swan]

Gimme Obi Wan's movie watching young Luke in Tatooine.

I'm a broken record on this but Yojimbo Obi Warn movie. Perfection.

 

[ClivePwned]

Gimme Obi Wan's movie watching young Luke in Tatooine.

It's either going to be creepy, boring or like an extended Arrow flashback.

"I wasn't always on Tatooine."

 

[sphagnum]

Can't wait for the new Rogue One trailer. I'm spending the week reading through Life Debt to hold me over.

 

[Metalmarc]

I cant believe we will be getting new Star Wars goodness from tomorrow.

New trailer tomorrow for Rogue One

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

To be honest I've got no idea, never been to anything like this before, just been reading other people's opinions around the web. Also the wristband thing is new. It'll be interesting to see how people fare queuing on Friday morning.

I'd love to get a few autographs as well but I've no idea how feasible it is time wise (yes the prices also suck).

Heh, I've never been to anything like this either. I'm going to get there as early as I possibly can which will be 07:50-ish.

 

[Waldini]

I suppose we'll get some BTS shots of Episode 8. Just to show how it all started "again". After that, a title? Could be. Although I'm not sure if they are going to reveal the title 1,5 years in advance of the movie itself. Still bothers me that, instead of 10 months ... we now have to wait 17

Rogue One trailer. HYPE.

EP7 title was revealed as soon as it wrapped filming. Expecting the same here.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

The fact that the Future Filmmakers panel isn't being streamed makes me think some cool shit is gonna go down.

 

[Waldini]

Really? Didn't know that

All I remember is my girlfriend telling me years ago that Disney bought Star-Wars and that an Episode 7 was coming. In the middle of the night ... I was pumped as hell.

Still can't believe we are getting an Episode 8 and 9.

Would be quite a suprise if they suddenly get Ewan McGregor on the stage and announce an Obi-Wan spinoff .. goddamn.

Disney;

Confirmation from Andi that the Future Filmmaker panel won't be streamed.

Wonder what the reasoning is for this.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Wonder what the reasoning is for this.

A sneak peak at VIII they don't want getting out I guess. Just like that Rogue One teaser last year.

Part of me is still tempted to buy a ticket for Sunday but there's no guarantee I'd be able to get in then as it's quite a bit of travel.

 

[Lifejumper]

I think they will release a edited version of the panel later on.

 

[Sayers]

Would it be possible for us to get countdown timers in the OP, Wadium?

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Would it be possible for us to get countdown timers in the OP, Wadium?

Yeah, sure. I'll try and set some up later on.

 

[BrokenFiction]

Based on the schedule, I'm guessing the trailer will drop near 11am EST.

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Kinda sad that they wont stream the "Future Filmmaker" panel

 

[RandySquizzel]

I'm booked for Sunday. Went to the last one, which was great. Bought a lot of stuff lol. Trouble is that I'm currently suffering from the flu. If it was a cold I'd be ok, but flu is knocking me out. I hope I'll be ok in time.

Vader, Maul.... oh these new characters? Lets not get into their stories, just kill them off quick, we got to give Maul time to shine.... again.

I completely disagree with this. I mean Maul was in literally one episode so far and Vader isn't in many more. The show doesn't bother to do much development for any characters though, old or new, and that's one of its largest problems. The entire first season had none of these "old" characters save for a brief appearance by Vader and yet it still hardly developed anyone.

After two season I still feel like Zeb and Sabine are paper thin, with Hera only being slightly better and somewhat carried by her personality. Kanan and Ezra are the only two who have received any sort of actual development and they could still do a lot more for them. Chopper is comic relief and almost doesn't count. Rex is a "regular" but he gets the same shitty treatment. He is a beloved character from The Clone Wars so we already have a lot more background and development on him, but he still is barely given anything new in this series. In fact since he was introduced in Rebels he has only had a couple of spotlight episodes, barely getting a line or appearance in many others.

The Clone Wars characters and Vader aren't the problem. On the contrary, whenever they show up it just drives home how much better they are from a character standpoint. The show still isn't doing much with them, but at least they have been developed via years in other Star Wars material. The new characters have progressed almost nowhere in two seasons of this show thus far. They all have had several episodes focused on each of them and yet they are still barely developed.

The show would be nothing without stuff like Ahsoka, Vader, and that season 2 finale episode. It at least injects something interesting into the program.

There are now spoilers floating the net of a supposed Ep 8 Teaser not sure how true it is.

the setup of the Celebration in London has leaked and i will link it, its only spoilers to how the convention is laid out, but still some people want to keep that as a suprise until they attend tommorow or watch thr stream, but if you want a peek at the setup pics they can be seen here

Sounds like a perfect teaser if its true.

Spoiler

The latest rumour says it ends with the VIII logo so maybe the title reveal's being held for now.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Link to the rumour?

I'm gonna try and familiarise myself with the Celebration setup as much as I can before I go. I wanna be efficient and try to see everything

[LosDaddie]

VIII is releasing next year so she's most likely there. Not sure if she'll be at the autograph hall, though. She isn't this year. Only Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are from the main cast.

Almost none of the current stars of the current trilogy are doing any autographs/photos with fans. They have been to the last and this Celebration, but not doing any of the fan meeting stuff or selling themselves. I wouldn't expect them to be doing this stuff till some time after their trilogy is done

Lame!

Well, my wallet will thank me

It's post-TFA and what they were filming in Ireland. So they could just be making it up. Guess we'll find out, though we won't be able to watch it.

 

[The Outsider]

Orlando tickets still available for next year. Hmmm... tempting, tempting.

For anyone that's gone to one in the past, how difficult is it to get into the major panels?

10 hours more until that new Rogue One trailer ladies and gents.

 

[Nyanmaruz]

Anyone got a link for the stream yet?

 

[Sesuadra]

Anyone got a link for the stream yet?

Came here to ask that

 

[brandonh83]

Should we start guessing the Episode VIII title based on absolutely nothing?

Star Wars: Episode VIII - Fall of the Resistance
Star Wars: Episode VIII - ehh I'm already out lol

 

[Sesuadra]

Should we start guessing the Episode VIII title based on absolutely nothing?

Star Wars: Episode VIII - Fall of the Resistance
Star Wars: Episode VIII - ehh I'm already out lol

Star Wars: Episode VIII - ways of the force
Star Wars: Episode VIII - Fall of skywalker
Star Wars: Episode VIII - Skywalker awakens
Star Wars: Episode VIII - Return of the chosen
Star Wars: Episode VIII - the prodigy rises
Star Wars: Episode VIII - ayyyy lmao

 

[brandonh83]

Don't think they'll put Force in the title again, and with Rian Johnson, it may be something pretty new to the series. Maybe.

 

[sphagnum]

It has to be something action oriented if they want to keep with the trend.

1st movie = three word title relating to underlying plot idea/person
2nd movie = four word action title
3rd movie = r____ of the ______

edit: if Lucasfilm could genuinely steal the name Battle Beyond the Stars that would by far be the best

 

[Lifejumper]

What if they don't have a title yet... I hope they have one.

 

[D_prOdigy]

Star Wars Episode VIII: Order and Chaos

if it was still Lucas at the helm I'd go for Chaos of the Order, or vice versa

It will surely contain 'Order', anyhow

 

[Ushojax]

I think one of the rumoured titles from months ago was Order of the Dark Side, but I expect the actual one will follow the TESB style of title.
