Star Wars 8 shit talk

I...don't understand anything about that quote.

Except maybe that it might be difficult for Colin Trevorrow to make art, in America or elsewhere.

Sadly this is evidently not the case!

But is it art?

That last Jurassic thing is the dumbest thing I've paid to see in the theater in aaaaages. Entertaining enough in the moment but really dumb and instantly forgettable.

Trevorrow sounds like a bit of a putz

Lots of new pictures/details here:

But there is another alien life-form inhabiting the primeval Jedi temple.

“They’re kind of these sort of fish-bird type aliens who live on the island,” Johnson says. “They’ve been there for thousands of years, and they essentially keep up the structures on the island.”

The Caretakers are slightly more anthropomorphic than the porgs. They’re animated with a person inside (Daisy Ridley said a friend played one of them) and they wear clothes and speak in an alien tongue.

“They’re all female, and I wanted them to feel like a remote sort of little nunnery,” Johnson says. “Neal Scanlan’s crew designed them, and costume designer Michael Kaplan made these working clothes that also reflected sort of a nun-like, spartan sort of existence.”

They can communicate with Luke through what Johnson describes as “a blubbery sort of Scottish fish talk” but they’re not thrilled to have him hanging around. Johnson says they “tolerate” his presence.

The Force is connected with life. Yoda’s world of Dagobah was a swamp, teeming with flora and fauna, and so this ocean world would naturally evolve beings who are drawn to this sacred place. Johnson said they’re amphibious and may have risen up from the seas to tend to the buildings on this craggy archipelago eons ago.

“You get the sense they did at some point or maybe they occasionally do [return to the sea,] but when we see them, they’re land creatures,” Johnson says. “They’re these big matronly creatures, but they have these little skinny little bird feet. They were really fun to work with on set.”

“a blubbery sort of Scottish fish talk”

cultural appropriation imo #boycottstarwars

For not being Henson's Creature Shop creations, those characters are really Hensony!

The Caretakers, that is. The porgs have kind of a different feel

Yeah, my first thought was that these were urRu a few thousand years down the evolutionary line.

My second thought was that I am a fucking nerdo for remembering they're called "urRu," idiosyncratic capitalization and all.

Looking sharp Snoke's Praetorian guards.

We haven't seen a non-hologram version of Snoke yet right?

i'm snoke

, mates,

We haven't seen a non-hologram version of Snoke yet right?

sure that isn't Burgess Meredith's corpse

I'm still not sure if that's legit or some sort of red herring

Was that in EW or from a specific source?

Pretty sure it was in the batch of character shots which were obtained somehow and then removed at request of LFL.

on a related note, I poked around looking at fan websites, and that makingstarwars website has some really bad content!

they've gotten a little better, but the "here's a sketch of this character we heard about/what luke skywalker's new cloak looks like" drawings are pretty bad

I kind of want to start a site where I post sketches of fake leaked ideas and they all look like a first effort of someone who just bought "how to draw star wars characters"

if you just follow the link nashwan posted, the snoke pic and better shots of the red guards are all there

I want to do a bizzaro gazzara thing though let me try this out

luv2snoke jedis

lol awesome that was more fun than I thought

if you just follow the link nashwan posted, the snoke pic and better shots of the red guards are all there

Yes, I was referring to nashwan's link!

Yeah I completely misunderstood your question, sorry

Is this dress white and gold or black and blue?

are we all still embodying the theory that he's a Wizard of Oz-esque projection

I'm intrigued because, barring a second trailer that has more lot teases, I'm really not sure where they're going with this movie at all! I've been keeping up on all kinds of Star Wars junk and there are a bunch of things that could possibly tie in, but it really seems like they've done more fleshing out of the universe than anything.

I think most of my fears about it all going wrong, plot-wise, really only apply to the 9th episode. This one's wide open.

the main "projection" going on is fans wanting to believe he is an interesting villain who is part of an interesting story, for which unfortunately there are no clues, crumbs or easter eggs in ep 7.

man, remember how mysterious and evil the emperor was before George Lucas decided we needed to see him in episodes 1 - 3?

how cool would it have been if he only showed up at the tail end of episode 3, and used evil sith magic to enthrall the senate and set himself up as emperor, no real backstory

I think most of my fears about it all going wrong, plot-wise, really only apply to the 9th episode. This one's wide open.

mainly i wonder how much ep 9 is going to be affected by carrie fisher's death

I worry, but if they can kill Han Solo... they can work around her absence, hopefully

Hoping for Snoke a quick Looper-style montage showing how he became like he is over the last 30 years

well, they knew going into episode 8 that han was gonna bite it - who knows what their plans for leia were before carrie fisher died. she's supposed to have a pretty substantial role in ep 8 iirc

xp or the last.... 3000 years

my worry for episode 9 is that they're going to take the idea of a threat outside the known galaxy as a unifying thing that brings the remnants of the new republic and first order together. who knows, maybe Snoke already is that threat and it's not been realized

are we all still embodying the theory that he's a Wizard of Oz-esque projection

theory? but holographic projections are all over these movies! a holographic projection is the key plot point of the first film.

if the theory is that he is somebody else projecting what we see then that would be a first for the series. i don't see why he would look like something else and then project a sickly battered visage.

if they make any moves towards getting past the Skywalkers it will be all for the better imo. family drama killed Star Wars

it's a red herring, Snoke is actually George Lucas

Snoke is Franklin Richards

I reread a bunch of Fantastic Four before bed the last couple nights, and while unlikely, I will go with... maybe

nah fantastic four movie rights still belong to fox not disney

could well be molecule man tho

So this site http://www.starwarsunderworld.com/2017/08/first-look-at-last-jedi-funko-pop.html?m=1 got a leak of Funko collectibles coming out later this year for SW8 and pretty much confirms that Snoke linked above is accurate:

nifty bathrobe

Snoke is Betty White?

Snoke is ET Evil Fairy Gothmother

If you imagine him thirty years younger and still recovering from the horrific mutilation of his face and neck, it's pretty clear who Snoke is:

'snoke' is an almost-anagram for 'ewoks' guys

it's clear that snoke is in fact a freshly-shaved wicket from return of the jedi, driven insane by the carnage he witnessed on endor and bent on indiscriminate revenge
