marvelcollector Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hamill has been saying a few odd things lately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLiamSturgess Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 That means absolutely nothing. All he said was that Ridley is his daughter's age, which is a familiar age to him and it's likely he connects well with his daughter, meaning it's made it easy to connect with Daisy as well. :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which people stopped doing in the 1920's No, I just take this particular statement at face value. I love getting all up in a huff about speculation as much as the next guy, but for me personally (even if Rey does wind up becoming his daughter, which I think is pretty obvious), this was not a case of Hamill actually confirming it.

JayT Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I think if there were odds (and there probably are) Rey being his kid would be the favorite. I think if the film is trying to lead anyone in any direction it is that one, and it wouldn't bother me because when I consider all of the other ones (excluding he is her uncle, which mean and Han and Leia had another kid roughly 10 years after Kylo and lost her in that time - as there is simply no way they are twins, Rey is obviously very young) are a bit farfetched when I try to consider explaining it in a film, especially when it seems pretty clear they are trying to run away from a lot of the stuff from the prequels (midicholorians etc). I would add that since we already have Star Wars back and it's already one of the biggest movies of all time, maybe Rian Johnson has a little more room to do his thing. I just thing that we have been told several time that the saga films are about the Skywalkers, and while I understand Kylo is one too, he is IMHO not redeemable. The guy killed Han Solo. I know, I know, Vader redeemed himself but we all kind of just accept that, and that the good guys won in RotJ, but we don't really, I think, accept that he's a swell dude and everything is forgotten after decades of mass murdering, not to mention butchering a school of kids etc. He died, we didn't call it even, but he was dead, so what could we do? I just don't think moviegoers are going to buy a redemption of Kylo that involves a continuation of his life and perpetuation in even more trilogies. I do admit there is definitely something interesting taking a Rey, who seems to come out of this universally loved, and playing with the dark with her, giving us a turn that didn't offend us while it occurred (prequels) with a character and actor most seem to like right now, but I'm just trying to figure out how a Skywalker ends up out of this that Disney is going sell massive amounts of toys on for the rest of our lives. And I don't mean that as a negative because that's exactly what Lucas did with both previous trilogies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Set Photos are being spread around - no spoilers as we already know that Rey, Chewbacca and R2-D2 travelled to Ireland to see Luke. http://makingstarwars.net/2016/04/set-photos-for-star-wars-episode-viii-reveal-ahch-to-and-millennium-falcon-sets/ What is amazing is how they duplicated the actual island on an outdoor sound stage. I wonder if the people below are ever in danger from all the drones flying above and crashing into one another.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thirdgreenham Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I was in Ireland in May this year and they had a production set on the Dingle Peninsula. I drove right by it. Would have liked to get a closer look but the road was closed off to common folk like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 I dunno... I am hoping I like this one. As I've said... I was all ***** / ***** after watching SW7 the first time. Then I saw it again and I was like */***** Episode VII made me appreciate the prequels. I am hoping that this restores my face is original storytelling in the SW universe.

Drummy Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 No, I think he's just doing other films before he will return to the next "chapter" of SW. Didn't read it as if he's done forever. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Early reports say that it is a repeat of ESB meaning that he is held prisoner by Kylo Ren and Snoke in order to lure out Rey and Luke... However... this time there is a twist... so maybe he IS done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 you cant be serious that this 2nd one is a rip off the 2nd in the original trilogy this is worse in some ways than the prequels if true, Leak supposedly comes from someone that leaked the Han death thing and other elements that turned out to be true of Episode 7. Again... as of now I consider Star Wars Episodes 1-6. I am hoping that Episode 8 can redeem Episode 7's formulaic and predictable fanboy retelling of Eps 4-6. WARNING - Supposedly... major spoilers. https://m.reddit.com/r/StarWarsLeaks/comments/4egl1i/episode_viii_script_leak_please_debunkconfirm/ Spoilers: Working title is "Echoes of the Dark Side" It's divided into three equally important plot threads that don't converge until the third act: Rey's, Finn's, and Kylo's. There's not nearly as much action as TFA in the first two acts, but the third act goes full-on crazy. The broad structure isn't as similar to ESB as TFA was to ANH, but the parallels are still present. Rey is training in the ways of the Force with an old Jedi master (Luke) on a wild planet while Finn and Poe are in a beautiful city that has a shady, sinister underpinning. Finn and Poe are betrayed and captured by Kylo Ren who uses them as bait to draw Rey out of hiding so Kylo and Rey can have a duel in an industrial portion of the city. The backstory to Luke and his Jedi being wiped out is that Snoke seduced Kylo and a few of the other students to the dark side and tasked them with killing everyone. Luke and a few others survived, including a young Rey who was subsequently dumped on Jakku by Luke. Rey's mom died in the attack. Rey is pissed at Luke because she guesses that he was her father and is angry at him for abandoning her. Luke turns to her and says "No, you are my father". Yes, really. Rey is the reincarnation of Anakin Skywalker. Luke went to the first Jedi temple to better understand how the process works. He learned that the spirit of the chosen one is reincarnated by the Force every time the universe is thrown out of balance, which apparently happens on a semi-regular basis (Anakin was hardly the first time the chosen one reincarnated). This is why she's so crazy powerful with the Force (remember that Anakin blew up the Trade Federation donut ship by himself when he was like 8 years old). Rey was the product of a virgin birth, but midichlorians aren't mentioned (Luke says "you are a child of the Force"). Luke is hesitant to train her because, according to Jedi history, the chosen one always struggles with staying on the light side of the Force because of the chaotic power running through them. He's afraid that she could become Vader 2.0. If he trains her to fight Kylo, and she turns dark, she would do way more damage to the galaxy than Kylo could ever dream of doing. He ultimately trains her anyway and leaves everything up to the Force. He makes this decision in a scene where he confers with the ghosts of Obi-Wan and Yoda (Ewan MacGregor and Frank Oz come back). Rey learns lightsaber skills, Force skills, and has a vision quest thing where she talks with Maz Kanata (unsure if it’s telepathy or just a dream) and Hayden Christenson. The latter tells her that she is him, but different, and there’s a quick scene where we see hundreds of other Force ghosts who are implied to be past chosen ones. Rey feels Finn's distress elsewhere in the galaxy and says she needs to go to him. Luke tells her about the time he felt his friends in distress and Yoda told him to stay and finish his training, and his disobedience led to pain. But then he says he isn't Yoda, and has his own way of doing things, and tags along with her to go help. Finn wakes up on a Resistance cruiser and is told by Poe that they're already en route to the makeshift Republic homeworld in the wake of the capital planet being blown up by Starkiller Base. Leia wants to lobby them to go to war. The Republic is being led by an interim dictator named Lord Vikram (Benicio Del Toro), who was quickly put into power by the few senators still around to maintain order. Starkiller's destruction of the Republic core worlds caused a galactic communications disruption because everything was routed through those worlds, so Vikram is trying to reestablish contact and ensure the Republic doesn't collapse into anarchy. Leia and Vikram butt heads. Vikram agrees that the Republic has to go to war with the First Order, but wants to wait for communications to come back online so they can muster up a sizable force (all they have right now is a single small fleet). Leia disagrees, and wants to take the war to the First Order now while Snoke is still reeling from Starkiller's destruction. She says both sides are in chaos, which makes this an opportune time to strike. Vikram counters by telling her she's letting her personal emotions over Han's death get in the way, and Leia throws it back at him by telling him he was always a little snake of a politician when they would argue back in her senate days, etc, etc, they have old bad blood or whatever. The Republic planet is safe because it's protected by a heavy duty shield that can repel any invasion or bombardment from the First Order. Finn and Poe are tasked by Leia to investigate the city because one of Leia's contacts informed her that the First Order have spies embedded in the Republic. Leia suspects Vikram. Finn quickly becomes enamored by Leia's contact, Chala (Kelly Marie Tran), who tags along with him and Poe through the underbelly of the city to gather information. Finn and Chala have a flirty romance subplot that involves a nighttime adventure through the rustic old city (this is the second entry in the trilogy after all, and poetry demands it). Finn, Poe and Chala all corner the culprit: Vikram's aide, who has evidence of contact between Vikram and the First Order. Leia and some Resistance fighters confront Vikram and throw him in jail for treason. He denies everything, and the rest of the Republic officials are horrified because Leia basically just coup-de-etat'd the **** out of their leadership. Leia assumes control of the planet's defenses and absentmindedly puts Finn in charge of the shield codes. Finn and Chala have a moment and Finn mentions his confusion about why Vikram didn't just lower the shields for the First Order. They walk into a room and Phasma is standing there and Chala draws a gun on Finn and forcibly takes the codes for disarming the shield from him. She says she planted the evidence, used Finn to get the codes, and basically that she thinks he's a dirty traitor to the First Order. In a moment of pure pottery, Phasma makes Finn lower the shields. The First Order fleet jumps out of hyperspace and invades the planet, quickly capturing Finn, Poe and Leia. Kylo starts to torture Finn using the Force, knowing that it will draw Rey out of hiding and into his trap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
