General Star Wars - The Rise of Skywalker News and Rumors Thread

I got one or two crumbs on the Matt Smith/Palpatine story, if anyone is interested.


Its not all that complicated.

 

It's already been posted a MSW that they decided to not use a "young Palpatine" and just used Ian.

 

That's why I said crumbs.


The cookie has already been eaten.

 

Spill the crumbs yo!

 

Someone ate those too.

And puked them back up online already.

My powers are weak, I'm old man.

I'm curious as to why production is still calling it "TrIXie" when they clearly don't need to.

 

I think it's more out of tradition than anything else. The little X-Wing motif would be a dead giveaway anyway...

ummm...are we not going to talk about the elephant in the room?

Any one else seeing what's in the lens of the camera? is that not Rey with her 3 buns etc?

 

Not seeing that.

 

Agreed. I don't even see the lens. What are you referring to?

 

There's something on the lower left that could be the eye piece but it's hard to tell... my subconscious sees a sumo wrestler's head...

 

This here.

 

I thought it was just a button at first but on further viewing, you could be right. If you zoom in you can see what looks like a female face taking a photo with a phone. Hmm??? Good spot.

 

Yeah exactly! So if it is her, then she would be in reshoots now. Doesn't mean anything, but I remember Ana Duvernay gave JJ an idea during reshoots for TFA, where she told him to redo the shot with Rey, where she fights Ben, where this time she closes her eyes and feels the force. JJ did it and ran with it.

 

There are rumours that one of Daisy's stylists is in Santa Monica with her but I was a bit apprehensive. I thought it was perhaps something to do with the media. Stylists are different from make up artist and Flora Moody her make up artist doesn't seem to be there. (Although I could be wrong). According to folks it seems to be John and Daisy involved in the shoots. I don't know about Oscar but Adam is in Belgium. Sorry I have gone of track but yeah I think it's a high chance it could be Daisy / Rey in the image.

( I thought the information about John and Daisy came from here it still maybe but am tired but there's details here too).

 

Know what's funny about this quote? It's exactly the same pitch as was used for VII, except then it was "Who is Luke Skywalker?"



“In the context of talking about story and laying out what we were thinking, I said one thing to him,” Kathleen Kennedy told EW. “‘Who is Luke Skywalker?’”

This did the trick, as Abrams decided he really needed to know this answer for himself.

“He said, ‘Oh my God, I just got the chills. I’m in,’” Kennedy said. “I mean, it really was almost that quickly.”
