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

I actually think Ahch-to makes the most sense as a place where she gets the new outfit, because those little nun aliens who live there seem like the type of characters who could make the clothes for her? Maybe it's some kind of parting gift from them.

 

I've been saying this for a while now - why change the canonical and historical legacy of what is supposedly Carrie Fisher's greatest performance only because she passed away? Wouldn't this go against a lot of the hard work she put into this film? - but I'm glad to have any remaining fears finally calmed by someone more in the know than myself.

As for Han having a funeral in TLJ, it doesn't at all seem likely, though I think a dual funeral in IX for both Han and Leia would be apt (I personally think both Leia's and Carrie's passings will be alluded to in the end credits medley as peaceful and of natural causes with the inclusion of Leia's Theme), seeing as we likely won't be getting any closure regarding Leia, more specifically, in TLJ.

 

Not a bad theory.

One thing I think we can all agree on though is the fact that Rey's Jedi outfit is awesome. I know we've known what it will look like for a while, but it still bears repeating, the costume designers and concept artists did a great job in designing her outfit. She really does look like a proper Jedi, yet at the same time the look is uniquely hers.

 

I was not all that impressed with TFA costume design. I liked Rays outfit as it made sense and all the others that was designed before TFA...the rest was a big "meh" for me.

With that said, I LOVE Reys new outfit and Leias as well. I know its the same designer...looks like he may have stepped it up.

 

Since Rey is captured and taken to Snoke, it's a sure bet this'll be near the end of the film as it'll be a massively important scene. What if this scene is the one where Ren has to prove himself to Snoke: "Ren, strike her down or I'll destroy her."

 

I think that she might get her costume right before that, maybe as a test even

 

Man, the more I watch the trailer and the more I read comments here and other message boards, I can say one thing is for sure: I am completely confused about what's going to happen in this movie...AND I LOVE IT! Now, I have to resist the temptation to seek clarity the next two months and try to go in as clueless as I am now but still contribute to these boards with you fine folks!

 

same here.. it's wonderful that we've had so many questions about ep8 for nearly 2 years, and nearly all of the questions remain unanswered.

i'm on defcon 2 now.. watching out for big spoilers to avoid them. whilst i'm happy guessing what happens... i don't want to actually know any more than i do now.

 

This story seems legit and seems to indicate that while they didn't alter Leia's story in the film, they may have re-edited the ending so that some of what was shot can be a bookend at the beginning of Ep 9. This is further evidence that Leia may be involved in a cliffhanger of sorts.

The late Carrie Fisher will make an appearance from beyond the grave in the final "Star Wars" movie of the new trilogy [Ep 9], her brother Todd Fisher tells Confidential. He [Todd] and Carrie's daughter, Billie Lourd, have granted the studio rights to use recent footage for the finale [Ep 9]. It is understood that CGI will not be used to recreate Leia. “Both of us were like, ‘Yes, how do you take her out of it?’ And the answer is you don't,” said [Todd] Fisher.

 

Kathleen Kennedy has confirmed that Carrie won't be in Episode 9.....

Common sense is that she's going to die in VIII.

 

It's everyone's guess but yes, I think they changed it because they don't have the choice.

 

Close the film with nothing changed - no sudden Leia death, etc.

Leia's Theme, in full, in the end credits, before or after the medley (or include the theme/tribute exclusively in the film, and include the medley on the OST).

Open IX with a joint funeral for Leia and Han; she can pass of natural causes between the films, and this can give the fans real closure, whilst respectively sustaining what is purportedly Carrie Fisher's best performance as Leia.

The repercussions of this can be felt in the film - upon learning this, Kylo could fall deeper/continue the path of redemption/go rogue.

I absolutely disagree that they don't have a choice other than unnecessarily killing a CGI Leia/having her die off-screen (oh, that ship exploded? Wait, wasn't Leia on that ship?) during the film's third act.

 

Tremorrow was still the director at that time right ? How can you say they didn't change anything while they already changed the director ?

I'm not going to say it is going to happen ! I'm just saying that it is difficult to make a dead character central to a movie.

It's a guess but I don't think it is going to happen. There will be no funeral for Han in Ep VIII nor Ep IX. This is a movie not real life.

 

Yes I understand you. I just can't see how you can have a huge role in a movie while not being in it.
