RUMOR General Star Wars: The Last Jedi News & Rumors Thread

It's a bit late for that... costumes and sets are already finalised and in production.

 

I want see more lightsaber duels in episode 8

 

I want to see more of troops fighting like "TR-8R".

Episode VII was focused group to death. I enjoyed it a lot but still, not many risks.

 

I'd think that if that were the case... it would have taken them a bit longer to make it.
The movie was made in a little under 3 years... with the last year of that being post-production.

 

What Magnar is saying makes me wonder (and this is speculation on my behalf, but...) if this would be linked to the fact that some of the scenes are not filmed in Ireland (the Heritage Protection Law and migrating birds, you recall?). If you look at the pictures that are available on Pinterest, the area looks a bit like Ireland. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/120752833736794732/

(well, minus the glaciers and hot springs.)

So it could be related to Luke's planet?

 

And also, whatever happened to this?

Is this for Rogue One, EP8 or maybe a deleted scene from TFA?

 

You mean that same shot that appeared in the trailer? I'm pretty sure we saw a behind the scenes shot of that at pinewood.

 

I don't know... I am really starting to doubt this whole baby girl thing. Granted, at some childish level I do wish there was that kind of a connection... just for the sake of making it more predictable and familiar. At the same time, I'm starting to think more and more that Rey is not related to Luke. Ah, well, we'll find out soon enough: in 1,5 years, right?

Speaking of which: does anyone know if they've started filming yet?

 

I read from MSW that they have rebuild the set in Pinewood studios (http://www.irishexaminer.com/examvi...kellig-replica-at-pinewood-studio-374190.html). Of course, this must be taken with a pinch of salt but still...

"The Skellig Michael sets have been built and in some cases recreated at Pinewood. The location of the set at Pinewood is the same place they filmed the Jakku village scenes for The Force Awakens. Filming at Skellig Michael was just too complicated for environmental reasons. Migrating birds have more power than any corporation over that isle."

I don't know if this would mean that they wouldn't return to Skellig but based on Irish internet publication this could be possible. Some online publications were discussing this, using as their primary source MSW, but also releasing additional information:

"When asked about the unconfirmed reports, Pinewood Studios declined to comment and referred the question to Lucasfilm. At the time of printing, Lucasfilm had not yet responded to this paper’s query. However, documents previously released under the Freedom of Information Act revealed producers had indeed sought permission to create moulds of beehive huts on the island.


Permission to apply a silicon gauze to one of the huts was refused by the Office of Public Works (OPW). Producers were advised instead to create a 3D laser scan. A spokesperson from the OPW confirmed that the Star Wars crew did not take moulds on the island. The office also said they were unaware of any plans to return to the island for Star Wars filming."

So I am really confused now. Are they going there or not???

 

It's strange. I assumed they already got all that they wanted back in september? So now they are going back and they also replicated the set in pinewood?
