ComicConnoisseur Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 J.J. Abrams announces the final day of shooting on Episode IX with emotional photo https://www.polygon.com/2019/2/15/18226680/star-wars-episode-ix-wrapped-jj-abrams-photography Photography for Star Wars Episode IX is complete. Word comes via co-writer and director J.J. Abrams himself, who posted a moving image today on Twitter. The still shows stars Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac embracing in the middle of a desert. Episode IX is scheduled to be released on Dec. 20, 2019. Abrams directed Star Wars: The Force Awakens, also known as Episode VII, which kicked off a new Star Wars trilogy for a new generation. Rian Johnson took the reins on its sequel, The Last Jedi. Fans are looking forward to seeing what Abrams has in store for the conclusion of the third trilogy in the now 42-year-old science fiction franchise. Principal photography is commonly followed by reshoots, with Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Rogue One and Solo: A Star Wars Story all undergoing a process of reshooting key scenes. It’s unclear if any such reshoots are scheduled in the months leading up to Episode IX’s release. There will undoubtedly be a significant amount of post production involving computer generated imagery. Episode IX is still without a title, although rumors are swirling. We expect to learn more at Star Wars Celebration, which is being held this year in Chicago, from April 11-15. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I'm surprised that we went all of January without a trailer. The word is that Abrams is the only one who knows the title. There's a rumored McGuffin in this one. Maybe it brings Rey back to the past where she hands off the lightsaber to Luke. Then we can all rejoice.

mattn792 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Based on JJ's track record with TFA and "Star Trek: Into Darkness", I'm quite worried that IX is going to just turn out to be Return of the Return of the Jedi. Which could still prove to be enjoyable, I loved TFA, and VIII has set a very low bar to overcome. Mr Sneeze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s going to be mighty disappointing (for me at least) if they take the same route with 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummy Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Yeah, I think this is the film where JJ gets to show that, as a director/storyteller, he's more than just someone who can make nostalgic 'twists' on the old material. TFA is, to me, a fine film, but how many times are we going to recycle Tattoine, Hoth, and cantinas? I'd love something fresh, both from him and the writers.

ComicConnoisseur Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) They are at it again. lol. Star Wars: Episode IX' Is Also Getting Review Bombed on Rotten Tomatoes https://comicbook.com/starwars/2019/02/25/star-wars-episode-ix-fake-review-bombing-rotten-tomatoes/ Last week, it was the fake review bombing of Marvel's upcoming Captain Marvel that made headlines well before anyone could have even seen the film. Now, it's Star Wars: Episode IX getting the same treatment. J.J. Abrams' final installment of the new Star Wars trilogy doesn't even have a name yet and already there are a flurry of negative reviews on the film's Rotten Tomatoes page. Granted, there will be those who will counter "but they aren't reviews!" but the negative comments are firmly located under the "audience" tab of the "Star Wars: Episode IX Reviews" page, the same location where audience reviews will land when the film opens in theaters ten months from now. With that clarification out of the way, the negative comments about Episode IX are a little more varied than the sexist comments lobbed at Captain Marvel – where many of those comments were the reaction of a particularly outraged group people on the internet upset that Brie Larson asked for a "more inclusive" press pool. In contrast, the Episode IX complaints contain quite a few comments expressing discontent at the general Star Wars (read: Disney) treatment of the Expanded Universe, a common complaint among many fans for quite some time. There are also plenty of comments from those who just can't get over Luke Skywalker's death in The Last Jedi, another issue that even people who loved The Last Jedi sometimes cite as being a low point of the film for them. Many of the other fake reviews, however, cite dislike of "new characters" -- such as Rey, Rose Tico, and Finn -- and dislike of Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy as the reason they already hate a film they've never seen. And, yes, tucked into some of those comments are sexist digs. One "review" cited Rey being able to use the Force as being a "betrayal" of Star Wars while others were angry at the idea of women having any place in the Force. Some even decided to go for a one-two punch and declare that both Captain Marvel and Star Wars: Episode IX would be financial failures and that will surely show Disney not to go against white male fans. It’s worth noting that Captain Marvel is projected to have a huge opening box office. Even for all of these negative comments, Star Wars: Episode IX still has a solid anticipation rating -- sitting at 89 percent at the time of this article's writing, though if the targeted fake review bombing intensifies that could always change. The film also ranked pretty high on many of the most-anticipated movies lists for 2019, coming in at number six on Atom Tickets' list and number three on Fandango's. It seems pretty clear that even with some people pre-emptively ready to hate, there are plenty more eager to see the film before deciding how they feel about it. When it comes to those genuine fan reactions -- the ones that will come after people have actually seen the film when it hits theaters in December -- Abrams is already excited for them.

The Rise of Skywalker... they are trying so hard to get fans back it's funny. It really feels lame. Quote Disney’s Lucasfilm and director J.J. Abrams just announced the full title of the finale film in the Skywalker screen saga: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker . The Abrams-directed film will be released Dec. 20. In the trailer which Disney will drop soon, it opens on Rey, breathing heavy on the desert planet of Jaku. An imperial spaceship races toward her and she flips, over it, lightsaber in hand. Luke Skywalker’s voiceover as if he’s talking to Daisy Ridley’s Rey “We’ve past on all we know. A thousand generations live in your now…but this if your fight.” We see Lando and Chewie rolling the Millennium Falcon. Poe, Rey approach a new planet. “But no one’s ever gone,” says Luke’s voice…and then there’s a cackle at the end of the trailer, much like Ian McDiarmid’s Emperor. Gosh, golly, is he still alive after all these years after Darth Vader thew him off a space ship bridge in 1983’s Return of the Jedi? The announcement was made in front of a delirious fan audience at Chicago’s McCormick Place. The venue is the largest convention center in North America but still barely big enough to accommodate this weekend”s Star Wars Celebration, the Lucasfilm expo devoted to the Jedi universe and all of its many iterations (which will soon include the brand’s first live-action television series). A trailer for the film was also set to premiere during this morning’s program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Quote It is the final chapter in the Skywalker/Solo saga. It is also the final chapter in the sagas of Rey, Finn, Poe and Kylo. Moreover, it is probably is the last time that a major theatrical Star Wars movie will be this big of an event. Star Wars: Episode IX represents the last time that a Star Wars movie will be the only place to get top-tier Star Wars adventure in the live-action format. This isn’t Return of the Jedi, which ended the original trilogy or Revenge of the Sith, which closed the book on the once entirely theoretical prequel trilogy. This is merely the last Star Wars movie before the next batch of Star Wars movies. There will surely be other Star Wars movies, be they the alleged Rian Johnson trilogy or the new trilogy crafted by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss or whatever else we get. But from here on out, we know full well that there will be regular Star Wars movies and TV shows for as long as Disney needs theatrical and streaming content. Disney will indeed slow down in terms of theatrical releases, but that we’ll be getting (allegedly) high-quality Star Wars adventure via live-action TV will automatically make the movies less unique. Sans a direct connection to the George Lucas saga, these new Star Wars projects will merely be sci-fi action shows or movies with the words “Star Wars” stamped on.

Broke as a Joke Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 So they had to bring the Emperor back and revisit another Death Star. So much for going in new directions.
