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

Well Rey's his chance at redemption.

 

I'd completely forgot about that, thanks!

I figured it wasn't (due to the inclusion of a Clan Leader being killed by Kylo in the script as detailed by Pablo Hidalgo- perhaps this planet was Mandalore?) but the continuation of the rain that starts in Luke's shot (clutching at R2) into the shot of the slaughtered clan could still lend itself to Luke being on the same planet.

 

Bob Iger has seen TLJ.

Apologies, I did not mean for that to comes across as my own opinion; I meant to only entertain it as a possibility, which it still remains.

I, myself, do agree with you: Rey's memories and experiences are merging and bleeding into one another, along with the past events surrounding the history of the Skywalker legacy lightsaber.

 

It's also worth noting that during the "force-back," Rey also sees visions of the future. The sequence ends with Kylo stepping out in front of her much the same way as he does when she first really encounters him in the forest. He actually appears (I think) in the snowy Starkiller forest during Rey's vision, but again, the way he steps in front of her is similar.

So Rey is seeing glimpses of the future too. Like you guys are discussing, the scenes and timeframes are definitely melding during Rey's vision. Pomo said "random raid," it could be that and a glimpse at the rumored Rey/Luke vs Kylo/KOR showdown. Or maybe not.

 

Good to know. This means that the reshoots will be minimal.

 

Huh? Looks like they'd be on schedule for a May release.
That they're already happy with the movie this far out is great news.

 

It's strange indeed. Rogue One at this point was months away from beginning the reshots. I wonder what version did he see though. I mean, It can't be a full cut right now...

 

Probably an early cut, but remember: John Williams will record the soundtrack in April. Giacchino started scoring Rogue One in November.

It's very uncommon for blockbusters to be finished this early.

 

Of course it's not. We are still 10 months away from the premiere, CG isn't finished, the score is being recorded, there's plenty of things to do. However, this way, no one needs to hurry and the quality of the finished film will only benefit from that. Haste makes waste and Lucasfilm probably learned this lesson while making Rogue One.

 

It will be mostly absent of music or be using temp tracks, and the sound effects will be other sound effects than in the final version, and the CGI will be very primitive. It takes someone who know what's they're looking at to see where it's going.

An editor hates bringing in clients at this stage of the project, because usually they have no clue what they are looking at and make stupidly obvious observations. I'm going to assume Bob Iger knows what he's looking at.

 

That's really good news but...This isn't a reboot

 

yeah I didn't understand that.

 

A freudian slip.

 

I have this recurring fantasy that the biggest secret about TLJ, is that Disney plans to surprise everyone with a 40th birthday May 2017 release after all. Imagine the sound of a billion fans crapping themselves all at once. If they do this, I pledge to have a set of Mickey Mouse ears tattooed over my left nipple, and purchase a DVD of "The Aristocats" post haste.

 

YES PLEASE! That would be the coolest thing to ever happen.

 

Even though they pushed the release, the film's schedule was already completed and still on track, so yeah, it wil most likely be around 99.9% ready by May but wont be released until December because --- Reasons.

 

I can imagine cooler things to happen than FigrinDan getting tatoos and a DVD.
