so its finally in production
same as when i saw the first VII trailer i squealed like a prepubescent girl when i was this
-
The first line should be...
LS - "I thought you were dead"
Just my thought...
E
-
I think it should start up by him igniting his lightsaber and saying: we meet at last...the circle is now complete...or something like that
-
Luke's the man and always will be the man!!
-
Or the more ambiguous "I thought I Lost you"
Could mean ether when he lost the saber in ESB or his "daughter" when the knights of Ren slaughtered his students, saved by Ben/Ren.
Remember when Maz said "the one who left you can never return but the other can" or something like that. I think she is talking about Ben and Luke, respectively.

I would like him to start laughing cynically and pull of his clothes to reveal a Joker costume.

$100 says episode VIII is going to be the AOTC of this gaggle of trilogies.

If that's your thing, then more power to you. Eye candy couldn't make up for trite dialog and a story that moved like molasses in January.

i think the first thing hes going to say is either you should not have come back or how did you find meor .... HEY!!!! THATS MINE GIVE IT BACK!!!
-
also i cant wait to see what lukes ROTJ saber will look like v3????

I dunno J, so long as there's no mention of sand in VIII, how bad could it be??
;)

Although chances may be slim, I'd personally like this moment to maybe only be in a teaser/trailer or appear in a flashback and have the movie actually start in the near future to stick with the motif of time gaps that Star Wars has always had in between each film.

Oh, it could be bad. Real bad. It could suck so bad that light would bend around it and time would slow down as you got close to it. It could be a festering gob of suck that might unravel reality itself. Never put it past "hollyweird" to build a cinematic turd. Just when you think you've seen the worst movie ever, there's always some hopeful screenwriter coming off a 9-day coke binge that thinks he's writing a script like it's inspired scripture.

I have a feeling we won't see Luke's green saber till EPIX...
-
I know Han is just about everyone's favorite character and while I do enjoy him, Luke has always been the heart of Star Wars to me, so to see him again now as the Master Jedi will be a thrill.
Very much looking forward to seeing where they take the character when episode 8 comes out.

Not sand, junk!!! Rey: "I hate junk. Its greasy, rusty, and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here eveything is soft and smooth and green." LOLZ!

I have to believe Episode VIII will be better than VII...I have to... *prays*
I think we will find out if Luke has his ROTJ saber in VIII...or something completely new. Since Ren's saber wont be new anymore maybe Luke's saber will be. Maybe Episode VIII will be where the 'wampa tooth saber' concept art will make it to an actual prop onscreen appearance? I just hope they don't do something as ludicrous as the Ren 'Stupidsaber' [tm] again like give Luke light-nunchucks [because his robot hand is made of phrik-cortosis alloy to hold light-chucks with doncha know?] LOLOL
Sorry I am just scared of how much more 'dumbing down' and/or infantilizing the Evil House Of Mouse can do to SW...good God pleeeeease just keep Force-sensitive rodentia, anatidae and canids away [you just know they wont be satisified til they sneak the Mouse Club into the trilogy somewhere] pleeeeeeease...
-
Really excited to see where this next Star Wars will go.. let the hype begin! I just really hope Luke doesn't get killed off :embarrassed:
-
In many ways, Ep 7 was a homage to Ep 4 ANH. I believe that Ep 8 will be similar to Ep 5 ESB, a darker story that ups the overall danger, with more risk and loss. Likely with a cliff hanger ending again.
Luke will obviously have a major part and I certainly hope the ole V2 is back and intact, with the same green blade and ignition sound.The story takes place some 30 years later, so it won't surprise me if Luke's saber has some slightly modified design cues, but I hope it's just the same, heavily worn, weathered V2!
I did like the new ignition sound of the graflex in Ep 7,but is very different from how it sounded in ANH and ESB.

I'd imagine Luke will have his ROTJ lightsaber, there is lots of TFA concept art with the Hero saber (no V2 as far as I've seen :cry: )
I think Rey will use the Graflex for now, but maybe later make her own like Luke.

I actually think there will be something fresh with Episode 8, rather than a story that imitates ESB. The biggest knock on Episode 7 is that it was too derivative of Episode 4 (I loved the film, but it was very much an homage to ANH). I really want something that isn't really derivative of ESB. Plus, Episode 7 ended on perhaps the biggest cliffhanger of all 7 films. Trying to have any big "twist" like the "Father" moment will likely come across as contrived. Rian Johnson seems to be a real sharp screenwriter. There will have to be a hook to bring everybody back for Episode 9, of course. I think Rian has the chops to balance honoring the previous movies while doing something bold and fresh. Right now, my hope is they focus on a really good story with high stakes narratives that take us to new themes, conflicts, etc.
-
I hope for that too. I don't think a 'twist' is necessary...just write that "really good story with high stakes narratives that take us to new themes, conflicts, etc" and there won't be any need for a 'hook' to get people to come back for Episode 9.
In the end ALL they really need to do is give us better writing than in the Epic Phail that was TFA and we'll be happy to love Episode 8 and 9.

Rian is supposed to be writing the treatment for 9, so that bodes well for a good "2 part finale" (episodes 8-9) One thing I am concerned about is the possibility of them moving away from the Trilogy format. The wanting to milk a franchise by extending narratives beyond what they demand is common these day. Given the popularity of the new characters, I fear the step of turning the coming episodes into an open ended saga, rather than tight self contained trilogy narratives.
The most promising narrative thread I see in this Trilogy is Kylo Ren's fight against the temptation of "the light." It is an interesting angle that hasn't been explored in the saga and could prove to be riveting if expanded and properly handled
-
Even more dismaying with modern 'franchise milking' is when the greedy studios decide to split the 'last episode' of [what should be] a trilogy into two 'pieces' for a cheapshot cash-grab e.g. Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 and Part 2 and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 and Part 2 so they could get the tweens to PAY TWICE for the finales.
IF the Evil House Of Mouse were to make the Sequel Trilogy finale into 'SW Episode IX [insert name] Part 1 and Part 2' to rip us off similarly then I would absolutely BOYCOTT the theatrical release and urge everyone I know to do likewise.
-
Peter Jackson's Hobbit Trilogy was a prime example of taking a simple adventure story with heart and creating a bloated CGI love fest that ran about 6 1/2 hours too long. The worst part of it was that the protagonist (whose name is the title of the movie) took a back seat to everything and everyone else in the trilogy. What a waste too because Martin Freeman was a great casting choice.
As long as 8 and 9 try to not just remake Empire and Jedi I will be happy. I get WHY Disney made the choices they did for TFA but now that we've established the new cast and setting it's time they really start to develop it.
-
at least we have rouge one to look forward to until VIII comes out :grin: :grin:
cant wit for that

Spoiler alert
Does anyone have a good picture of Been Solo's blue lightsaber? You see it in the flashback for only a split second. It looked to have blue vertical "windows" around the emitter.

Thank you! It looks like his regular lightsaber without the vents and silver instead of black.

It looked like it had some chrome on it.
