David Collins is doing his live hourlong breakdown of the Rogue One score right now.

They're not STREAMING IT, of course.

Just my luck.

 

[Sephzilla]

McDiarmid is so fucking solid in ROTJ

 

[Surfinn]

The Ian panel is awesome though so that's cool

DAMMIT.

 

[Killer Queen]

Those laughs are amazing

 

[Sephzilla]

Nice cheery sounding McDiarmid going right into Palpatine is awesome

 

[Surfinn]

LOL Ian is talking about how far Lucas pushed him and how Ian thought it was already too far

That's one of the ones I most wanted to see. Is Oxygen dead?

[Cross-Section]

The fuck is this subtitle work

 

[Chained Prometheus]

No kidding. McDiarmid is one of my favorite Star Wars actors to watch in interviews and Celebration panels, along with Mark and Daisy. You can really tell he loves interacting with the fans.

 

[Boem]

Just watched that Carrie tribute again.

Man. Beautiful.

So happy they didn't do the corporate thing and clean it up a bit by taking some of her dirtier jokes out. This was who she was.

I'll admit I got a bit teary eyed during that entire thing when it was happening live.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

That's one of the ones I most wanted to see. Is Oxygen dead?

Oxygen is probably dead, yeah. But who knows.

Maybe this panel will be the start of him going solo/doing something different with it.

 

[pxleyes]

Speaking of merchandise, how is the line to get into the store for those at celebration today?

 

[CS_Dan]

Oxygen is probably dead, yeah. But who knows.

Well I hope so. As long as people can actually see it

 

[Galava]

"Have you ever heard the legend of darth plagueis the wise?"

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Well I hope so. As long as people can actually see it

I bet if the producers didn't record it, someone in that crowd did.

Pretty sure someone here said they were gonna, regardless.

 

[DoctorFling]

That Boba clip was great such a shame they couldn't complete it. When they were teasing it I really thought they were announcing the full episodes would be uploaded but alas

 

[Sephzilla]

Yeah that scene in Episode 3 in the theater is pretty good

 

[Surfinn]

Theater scene is my favorite in the PT by far. So many good things happening at once

 

[DoctorFling]

You can tell Anakin and Palpatine were evil bastards as soon as you see they're the type of people who talk during a live opera performance

Utter pricks

 

[Killer Queen]

How much information/insight do you think we'll get on episode 8 tomorrow

 

[GavinUK86]

Don't say you know all the lines if you clearly don't.

Okay, I take that back, he stepped up.

Leave us.

Spoiler

Those subordinates just wanted to watch the opera

 

[Boke1879]

How much information/insight do you think we'll get on episode 8 tomorrow

We'll just get like an overview of what it was like to work on it. Probably get introduced to the new faces. Maybe some hints as to what's going on. But not much will be revealed. We're only getting a teaser trailer.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Asked this before, but can we reasonably expect any Han Solo spin-off news during the event? There doesn't appear to be an appropriate panel for it.

 

[Sephzilla]

i was hoping they'd let the ROTJ clip keep going just to see if it had the NOOOO in it

 

[Cross-Section]

Asked this before, but can we reasonably expect any Han Solo spin-off news during the event? There doesn't appear to be an appropriate panel for it.

Yeah, I'm not expecting much. If there was a time or place to talk about that or the Obi-Wan spinoff, the 40 Years panel would have been it.

 

[Boke1879]

Asked this before, but can we reasonably expect any Han Solo spin-off news during the event? There doesn't appear to be an appropriate panel for it.

Personally I'm not expecting it. I think they are shooting? and this year seems to clearly all about the 40th anniversary+Last Jedi. If anything we'll get info on that movie later this year/early next year.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

How much information/insight do you think we'll get on episode 8 tomorrow

Well it's an hour and a half long so they're gonna have to spill some beans. I expect them to go into what the First Order and Resistance are up to without focusing too much on what Luke and Rey are doing. If I remember correctly, Johnson said he didn't want to keep his cards quite as close to his chest as they did for TFA so I think they'll be willing to talk a bit more.

Kelly will be introduced too. I expect we'll get her character's name.

I thought it would be in the 40th anniversary panel if we were going to get anything. I'm guessing nothing at the event now.

 

[Master Yoshi]

These fucking questions.

 

[Cross-Section]

Never stay for the Q&A.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Yeah, I'm not expecting much. If there was a time or place to talk about that or the Obi-Wan spinoff, the 40 Years panel would have been it.

I don't think the 40 years panel was a place to talk about films that don't even exist yet.

If it comes up, it'll come up if there's a space for Lord/Miller to talk about Han & Lando. I don't know that such a thing is scheduled, but I bet it gets addressed at some point on one of those stages.

 

[Killer Queen]

Plagueis is Anakins father confirmed.

Dope, really looking forward to it.

 

[Einchy]

Oh, there's no future film panel.

I wonder if they're just not going to talk about the Han Solo movie.

 

[SpaceWolf]

My hopes for an Obi-Wan announcement are diminishing rapidly.

 

[Killer Queen]

Maybe next year guys.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Maybe next year guys.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Maybe next year guys.

Doubtful.

 

[Master Yoshi]

Palpatine was tuly the shining role of the prequel films.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

My hopes for an Obi-Wan announcement are diminishing rapidly.

There's like 3 more days of this thing

 

[GavinUK86]

hur hur shockingly

 

[Surfinn]

Keep your eyes on the ball

TLJ is tomorrow! We know obi is coming eventually. Good enough for me for now

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Maybe next year guys.

There is no Star Wars Celebration next year

Palpatine was tuly the shining role of the prequel films.

His lasersword fight was pretty bad

 

[Chained Prometheus]

Theater scene is my favorite in the PT by far. So many good things happening at once

Same. It's far more interesting a scene than any of the lightsaber duels in the PT imo.

 

[Killer Queen]

So, there's no Obi Wan film.

 

[Boem]

Yeah as soon as George came on stage and it became apparent that it was going to be a dedication for him, it was obvious they weren't going to do any of the new movie stuff.

Which is especially good since ending it on Carrie was just wonderful and very much needed. Showing a commercial for a new product after that wouldn't have worked at all. There's a time and a place for everything, and that was Carrie's time.

 

[SpaceWolf]

There's like 3 more days of this thing

This is true, it's just that looking at all the scheduled panels, there doesn't seem like there would be any natural place to make such an announcement. Sort of agree with everyone else that the 40th-anniversary opener seemed like the best fit for it, although that could very well be wrong.

 

[Surfinn]

Same. It's far more interesting a scene than any of the lightsaber duels in the PT imo.

Character dynamics.. Storytelling.. Mythology.. Mystery..

IN MY PREQUELS?

So, there's no Obi Wan film.

They all but confirmed it's happening

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

There was a teeny tiny glimmmer of hope for the unaltered OT before Carrie's tribute.

That's gone now.
