Imma need Poe's jacket.

Also, Luke in black screams to me travelling gear for going offworld.

Can you spoil it?

It's not one thing, it's based on conversations two characters are having at the last 1/3 of the book about the philosophy of the Resistance vs. that of the First Order. There's some language at play with "First Order" - we've seen it in (I think) the last Aftermath book too. It's not spoiling anything to suggest that without a Sith Lord (AFAIK) at the helm, the FO is really looking to establish order and prevent chaos in the galaxy. The character of Cardinal in the book really believes that to his core.

So when does Poe get frozen in Carbonite?

Empire have posted another mini-article on The Last Jedi. Rian reiterates that he doesn't explore much of Snoke's background in the film.

"We got the whole story of Palpatine's rise to power in the prequels, but in the original films he's exactly what he needs to be, which is just ‘The Emperor'" Johnson tells Empire in the new October issue. "He's a dark force: the scary thing behind the thing. That was entirely how I approached Snoke. I wasn't interested in explaining where he came from or telling his history, except where it serves this story."

And writing Kylo is fun:

”Writing Kylo Ren is just so much fun," says Johnson ”Star Wars boils down to the transition from adolescence into adulthood. That's the heart of these films and Rey is most obviously the one that hangs on. But it's also Kylo. In the originals you project entirely onto Luke, while Vader is the scary other — he's the minotaur. The fascinating thing about Kylo and Rey is that they're two sides of something. We can all relate to Kylo: to that anger of being in the turmoil of adolescence and figuring out who he's going to be as a man; dealing with anger and wanting to separate from his family. He's not Vader — at least, he's not Vader yet — and that's something I really wanted to get into."

They really need to differentiate Poe and Finn just a little bit more. It's like they both raided Han's closet.

Trust me, Han won't mind.

Phasma really feels like an epilogue to Aftermath among other things. The philosophy of the First Order fascinates me. They are people who don't see themselves as evil, but rather a force for structure in the chaos of the galaxy.

Same. There's more thought put into it than I believe people give them credit for. What do you do when you believe in order and structure, but the Empire failed you?

Just finished The Clone Wars Season 6. I'm not quite as enthusiastic about The Clone Wars as some on here but from the last arc of Season 5 onwards it was the best animated Star Wars I've seen and it seemed to benefit significantly from starting to head towards Revenge of the Sith. I'm now quite gutted it was cut off as it seemed to be entering its prime. Oh well.

On to the story reels and random bits.

My (totally uneducated) guess is that they quietly have Rian incorporated into pre-production and then depending on how well TLJ is recieved, make a big fanfare-y announcement that he's coming back, or go completely clean slate with a new director and writer.

The Phasma novel really sheds new light on why she so readily cooperated with Han and Finn on Starkiller Base. I always wondered why the rest of the First Order seemed so fanatical and loyal, but she didn't display any such devotion when it came down to it.
She has no loyalty to anyone or anything other than herself, and will do anything to survive. She'll turn on the First Order the moment it becomes clear the Resistance will win. Won't be surprised if she ends up killing Hux or Snoke herself.

I've written enough about his sexism that nah, I don't really feel bad at all. Dude has some pretty deep issues and the idea of him handling the closer of Rey's story made me pretty uh, not happy. I genuinely do not like him.

Never heard of him being sexist. What's it about?

Hmm. Really pictured the canto blight casinos as something more opulent... like Vegas in space. Guess not? It's a limited view, but outside of that fancy drinking glass it looks like a third rate joint :p

Just woke (night shift) and seen the news

Think we all saw this coming, right? Thankful its not halfway through filming

Who's the running contender to takeover?

Surely it will be Rian but guess that would depend on scheduling. I hope it's him.

I think Rian just because of how high Kathleen seems to be on him right now. There's just something different about the way she talks about Rian's work on TLJ than she did with JJ's work on TFA. I liked the idea of Alfonso Cuaron doing it though.

Dream pick is David Lynch but it'll never happen.

Deadline says that Rian is the frontrunner.
Click to expand...

Man, I hope so.

It always seemed weird to me that they were handing off directing and writing duties to someone else entirely. With something as arc-heavy as Star Wars, you'd think they'd want some continuity, especially in the final chapter of a trilogy. The fact that Abrams, Kasdan and Johnson were apparently going to have nothing to do with IX always seemed unneccessarily risky and kinda dumb to me.

Even if Johnson doesn't end up directing it, I hope he's at least involved with the script.

I think I'm doing a pretty good job so far. I mean, I've been dropping some juicy info in the other thread.

Don't worry. I'm not a self-insert kinda guy.

I been watching. Hence the concern.

All joking aside, as someone whose dream job is to eventually get a writing gig someday when I can afford to move, it's insane to even think about writing a Star Wars film. I legit don't think I could do it, not that I'd ever be asked, but still.

I guess I'll ask here too:

I saw this poster on sale:

Where is this art from? Google-fu hasn't shown me it in anywhere else. I bought the poster regardless, it looks pretty nice.

Then you fail to see the greatness.


But seriously, I'm here in LA and I'm vying to hurry up and get my BioChem degree so I can afford a home here. I feel like I'm wasting the time here not getting into the entertainment industry, especially as a fan of it all.

Lol I have a creative writing degree which is good for about fuck all if you want to make money, but I made some decent contacts while going through the program that I'm trying to stay in touch with. Current job in IT is great for pay though so saving up to hopefully move somewhere to pursue it. We can write together!

We'll make the best-worst Star Wars spin-off of all time.
