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

@Casper11 I guess you were quicker.

 

That looks like Leia's sacrifice leads to Ben's redemption???!!!

I didn't expect that until at least EP IX, if ever

 

Yeah...I'm not buying it. Especially because of what some of those track names would go on to imply, which seems to go against much of what we've heard about TLJ.

Also, it follows TFA's soundtrack way too closely. It has the same number of tracks (23) - which would be the first time the second part of a SW trilogy had the same number of tracks as its predecessor, as well as the first time that two scores in a row by John Williams had the exact same number of tracks - and the Main Title is once again titled "Main Title and The Attack On [insert new planet name here]".

There are other similarities too. For instance, tracks 17 and 18 of this track listing refer to "The Eclipse" and "Snoke Arrives", which is way too close to TFA's "Snoke" being Track 17 to be merely a coincidence. Furthermore, Track 11 - "Kylo Ren Arrives" - of this track listing isn't too far off TFA's Track 13 - "Kylo Ren Arrives at the Battle"; tracks 19 and 20 of this listing, "Leia's Sacrifice" and "Ben Solo" are too close to Han's sacrifice in TFA, which lines up with Track 19 of TFA, "Torn Apart". The similarities in Track sequence from this track listing to TFA's is astonishingly close, so I'll be surprised if this turns out to be real.

Also, "Snoke Arrives", "Leia's Sacrifice", "Ben Solo", "Return of the Jedi" and other tracks are so descriptive that I'd argue that this is "Qui-Gon's Noble End" levels of stupidity on show.

The damning piece of evidence, though, seems to be "The Eclipse" - i theorised years back that Snoke's ship would be the Eclipse, based on some text in the TFA visual guide about many fearing that a much larger ship than The Finalizer was amongst the First Order's fleet, but, barring some strange promotional stance on LFL's behalf, we've already been made aware that Snoke's ship is titled The Supremacy, and not The Eclipse as I had previously theorised.

Forget the grain of salt. Take this with a full salt shaker of salt.

 

HOLY SMOKES. I was not expecting that.

50 minutes per act? Roughly the same length as Apocalypse Now and The Dark Knight?

This would be the longest SW film to date, ahead of AOTC at 142 minutes, if this does turn out to be the case.

Which would be huge.

Allowing a director to increase the length of the following film in a trilogy by over 30 minutes is a huge decision by LFL and Disney, simply because, if nothing else, it means less potential screenings per day; for every nine screenings they have of TLJ, they could have had some ten screenings of a TFA-length film.

To put this into perspective with a few - conservatively - loose numbers, a relatively small theatre chain with 100-seat screens, ~$10 tickets across 4000+ cinemas you're talking a few million dollars per day. Realistically, you're talking a few tens of millions of dollars per day during its opening week/s.

Once again, this reiterates and reaffirms Disney's and LFL's confidence in what RJ has pieced together in TLJ. I seriously can't wait to see what Rian's concocted; I think that TLJ's in with an Oscar shout come next year, and I hope that it gets the recognition it deserves if it's anything like how imagine a Rian Johnson written and directed Star Wars film could be.

 

Spoiler

Wohaa yesterday I read a spoiler about
Is in Reddit star wars speculation
And they said that Rey is capture by snoke
Then snoke makes to fight Kylo and Rey
Then Kylo doesn't want to kill Rey and tries to kill snoke but is illusion
Then Rey and Kylo fighting pretorian guards they go the crait they talk

And this the interesting part they start to fight with lightsabers and all and then they are force separate by Luke
Luke fights Kylo and takes him like prisoner on the millennium falcon
Snoke destroy Leia's ship
The end

The title prisoner and the return of the Jedi
Reminds me of that spoilers is interesting
But sounds so fake the part of Rey and Kylo getting angry and starting a lightsaber duel and the arrives Luke

But is interesting maybe those spoilers are made taken that tittles

 

Right?!

Sounds like a very large box of popcorn and a tiny - the tiniest - bottle of water for me.

@Isaalacrymosaa i haven't read a word of that, other than seeing the words "Reddit" and "spoilers"; if applicable, would you mind spoiler-tagging that to avoid potentially ruining the film for those trying to go in unspoiled? Thanks

 

Yeah, I join the request...

 

supposedly AMC and cineplex now have the same times up on their sites. Could still be a placeholder though.

 

So does Fandango.

 

Bring a catheter for the 150 min. runtime, I guess.

 

Or some Depends ....

 

2:30 mins seems like an estimate.

 

What if Ben Solo is the last jedi?

 

considering Cineworld removed and replaced a placeholder time with the 150 mins, would you just add a second placeholder time for no reason?
