Bokishi Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 10 years ago I came to this forum to talk about Star Wars. Not sure how many fans are still left. But there have been some abundant leaks these past few days, that are getting me hyped again. Anyway feel free to discuss yay or nay Stormtroopers Han Solo Slightly older X-Wing leak 5 Current 3DMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amentep Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 So Han's great-granddaughter never existed? Right now, officially, the only things considered canon in Star Wars are the films and the upcoming products, IIRC. 2 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clean slate and some actual writing talent on it would be much appreciated, it's a universe with a lot of potential. Keep Thrawn though.. 1 Fortune favors the bald.

ManifestedISO Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Some news today from Ep. VIII director, Rian Johnson, regarding a return to practical special effects, something inherent to the original trilogy: Johnson went into detail about the more traditional approach. "They’re doing so much practical building for this one. It’s awesome," he said. "I think people are coming back around to [practical effects]. It feels like there is sort of that gravity pulling us back toward it. I think that more and more people are hitting kind of a critical mass in terms of the CG-driven action scene lending itself to a very specific type of action scene, where physics go out the window and it becomes so big so quick." Great news, I think. Real ships, real props, real effects, they're what made the first movies so special. Also, in new canon news, Marvel has re-assumed comic book rights, and will debut three new Star Wars series beginning in January, get this, set between A New Hope and Empire. One series for the good guys, one that follows Darth Vader and minions, including Fett, and a mini-series featuring Princess Leia. All Stop. On Screen.

ManifestedISO Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Not Episode VII related, unless they go for a Biker Scout redux as well--unlikely, but not impossible. Maybe for VIII or IX. Finally this 6" set came down to a reasonable acquisition threshold, so I made off with one. I'll open it and pose the guy ... still too much to buy two and keep the other in-box.

ManifestedISO Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Someone I trust pointed me to an online T-shirt store, which has probably the best blend of art and popular geek culture I've seen. They use an interesting sales model: for twenty-four hours, a unique new design is available for $11. For one day after that, the same design is $14. For a limited time after that, in their gallery, previous designs are $18. The whole thing really suits my daily internet vigilance compulsion. Plus I like art, and movies and games and books and everything else ... cleverly displayed on a T-shirt. Got this design to try out the store. Red Five was, of course, Luke's call sign in Ep. IV.

teknoman2 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Nice !!! I think 10 years ago around now I saw the trailer for episode 3. Man I really hope Disney will disregard or remake the prequels. the prequels are based on novels from what i ve heard, and for some reason, they kept out of the movies all the parts that were relevant to a sensible plot for example the escape from naboo in the first movie, was supposed to be done by hiding the ship in the sensor shadow of an enemy cargo ship and sneaking past. in the movie to make it more spectacular, they made a frontal assault and then ran for it The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did.

Tale Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 So Han's great-granddaughter never existed? Right now, officially, the only things considered canon in Star Wars are the films and the upcoming products, IIRC. EU stuff was never canon to begin with. It was just EU stuff. I think lots of people, myself included, entertained other delusions back before the prequels came out, but once they did, Lucas was making it clear. He didn't care about the EU. Note that prior to the prequels, everyone thought that dark side users would explode on death because Palpatine did. And that the Clone Wars were fought against crazed clones. And Boba Fett has like three origin stories. The big change that occurred with the EU recently is that no more EU stories are being produced. Nice !!!

The big change that occurred with the EU recently is that no more EU stories are being produced. no,the EU staff was canon,only it had to be 'canonized' by GL in order to be considered fully in the SW Timeline,in the case of the games like Kotor,give it a canon ending,canon alignment i find it stupid to shut down the entire EU,even if it had crappy stories,it also had good ones the ancient sith lords don't exist anymore in my opinion,Clone Wars sucks and keeping that but not the other good novels in the EU is BS on the movie i must say that i'm not excited at all for several reasons 1)Disney will **** up the movie 2)the movies that were supposed to be 7-8-9 had the emperor alive until the 9th episode and made sense,so now that the emperor is already dead, what the plot is going to be?Ewoks in TIE fighters doing a crazy party with Jar Jar Biinks?or ridicolous lightsaber swinging for the sake of popularity? or just a bunch of non sense? 3)if the kept the EU and fixed the bad stuff,they could have set the movie in the 'Jedi Knight:Outcast' period with Kyle Katarn as protagonist,who was a very good character and have Luke/Han/Leia as side characters but nope,let's delete the entire EU,it's the devil So in a nutshell:i'm putting my expectations at a very low level,so i won't be dissapointed if the movie turned out to be bad,on the other hand,i will be happy if the movie will be good Edited September 14, 2014 by DarthDeven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgon Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I am worried that Han and Luke will just be there for 5 minuites to say hi and get their checks and the rest of the movie will be about teen troubles with characters from the ****ty Clonewars spinoff. I'd say I'm guardedly optimistic based on the director's track record. 1 Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

Elerond Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 When was the last time Disney messed something up? Probably today, it is so big company that it will mess things constantly, if not in their main products (although I would say that The Lone Ranger (2013) at least was mess up and one could also argue same about John Carter (2012)) then in their byproducts like for example leaving certain main characters out of their action figure sets or t-shirts etc.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
