RUMOR General Star Wars: The Force Awakens News & Rumors Thread

You mean kotter, welcome back kotter..........

 

This has nothing to do with anything but i was looking up one of the old marvel comics to post a reply in another thread and saw some of the old covers again which, funny enough, are relevant to recent things mentioned for TFA

Leia ... having to choose her path after RotJ


Kylo talking about the last jedi


maybe some of the current staff on the movie were fans of the series as well?

Thankfully he was in a saving mood.

49 being the oldest you say,very good I will have question mom's support hers ended at 30.

 

Reminds me of my sister (30 years old). She recently told me she hates Star Wars... she said she only likes movies for "grown ups", while wearing a dress with the Little Mermaid printed all over it.

It's probably because her husband spends a fair bit of time playing X-Wing...

 

You can tell she is lying, she will probably gone alone to see it & now tell you, my sister did that once before not star wars related but it happened, facebook became useful that time in 2005, was your sister's dress like this & husband xwing double life like this.?

 

No the dress is more like this:



And the X-wing playing is more like this:


It's funny... because I got him started with X-wing, and now he plays it more than I do.

 

I just got done reading the Luke Skywalker journey to TFA book... fun! Waaay better than aftermath. Seeing Sarco Plank in action is very cool.

I've also been reading the Leia book with my stepdaughter @ bedtime, not bad as well. I still have to read the Lost Stars book, but this is a good hold over until trailer comes out

 

Good to know. I read Aftermath and enjoyed it more for the interludes. I have been meaning to pick up the others and haven't had the chance yet. Seems like I definitely need to.

 

Definitely do... though in hindsight these books sure ate a whole in my wallet! But it's worth it, I love the covers & the artwork inside. I too enjoyed the interludes... I think aftermath would have benefited from accompanying illustrations. The presentation of the Luke, Leia, & Han books are very sleek... not exactly Star Wars-esque, but they feel very fancy & unified.

One thing I really love about the J to TFA books is that they really nailed the characters, and reference the films in clever ways. Before I read them I was like "oh man, do I really need to know more about what these characters were up to between films? Well, in many ways it's more than that I really love the exploration & development of the big three... can't wait to read the Han book.

I think aftermath would have been a better book if it was about the big 3.

Soooooooooooooo.... it's been a painfully slow news week again, it seems like the forums have kind of died down a bit... I sure do hope this is the calm before the storm :/

 

It's like when a person has gone so Iong without food that their body starts metabolizing its own cells to stay alive..

 

It's more like the calm before the calm before the calm before the calm before the calm before the storm.

 

As far as Aftermath goes, I was expecting more in terms of continued battle between the rebels and the remaining part of the Empire then what we got. Having this with the big 3 in it (even if only briefly) would have definitely made it better. I was hoping for more on Jakku but from what I hear we get that in Lost Stars.

Definitely a slow week. People are starting to get grumpy again like other lulls in the past. Only 74 days and all will be good.

 

Oh my gosh thats cool.

 

More like 72/73... Remember that a lot of Europe will have it 2 days before the US, and even though Australians and New Zealanders only get it a day before, their time zones are more than 12 hours ahead. So by the time people in these other countries have seen the film... it will be about mid-day on the 16th of December.

If I can get to a midnight screening (here in Australia), I'll come on here and let you know all about it... in a Spoiler tagged thread of course (I'm not that horrible)

There are also confirmed 7:00pm screenings on the Thursday in the US:

What's cool, the dress or the tabletop game?
