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

I think they'll follow the order they established with TFA and RO and we'll get the trailer mid next month, with the floodgate of TV spots beginning in November.

 

Could this be a music track of the actual movie?

This soundtrack wouldn't be bad for the FO.

 

I love it, and it would make a good FO theme, though it reminds me slightly of the Resistance theme too.

 

Nah, it's not from the movie. Don't know where it comes from, but it definitely sounds like virtual instruments.

My bet is that for the FO John Williams will use the deleted theme from Hux's speech (fragment of which we can hear at the end of "Attack on the Jakku Village"). It sounds great, I love it.

 

IMO this one has similar beats to the Twitter one. But I like the Twitter one more. It's much more fitting for a march.

 

I'm not sure what to make of this:

"In fact, Serkis found directing to be so second nature that while Garfield and Foy were having a pre-production meeting with a medical specialist at Pinewood Studios, their director stopped by during a break from Star Wars, in which he plays Supreme Leader Snoke. He was dressed in his performance-capture leotard and the required white dots, and even wore faux hair on his face. "It was a really difficult discussion, and Andy tried to take part as our director, and we couldn't take it seriously!" laughed Garfield. "I think he's more used to wearing that outfit than regular clothes."

 

That's not how performance capture works.

 

Maybe Chewie needed a day off.

@NinjaRen just realized you were quoting Han. Good one haha

 

Andy is known primarily for his motion-capture roles, so he got probably used to wearing dots on his face, uncomfortable headgear and a weird, grey body suit.

 

Yeah but the faux face hair?

 

That could have just been him having fun.

Or he has a background role without the mocap suit

 

Facial hair would get in the way too, wouldn't it? I mean, why wear it if Snoke has none.

You're probably right.

 

Maybe it was necessary to illuminate it in the same way as in this machine (it does incredibly detailed photographs of the face that are used by graphic designers when his facial movement is transposed on Snoke's face.)

 

I was thinking about that earlier. "Facial hair" sounds more like a beard or something, but it could be his white eyebrows.

Spoiler

So, no encounter between Snoke and Leia.

 

That rules out that one leak. Good find!

 

Wasn't Serkis also working on King Kong at the same time?

 

I'm not sure, but if he was, then it makes sense. Snoke does have eyebrows too though, but it stated it was facial hair, which makes me think the whole face.
