Luke's screen time theory

Again.....you do realize that every actor was allowed to come and go to fulfill prior scheduled appearances including Hamill, Fisher, Mayhew, Serkis and Driver. Driver was back in the states every other week to film Girls. Daisy and Boyega were seen at public events. By your logic perhaps they aren't in the film as much as we thought as well?
As for the beard and hair, you do realize that most likely he's going to be wearing his hood and robe most of the time he's seen on screen right? And you do know that scenes aren't filmed in chronological order right? And you do know there's rumors that some of Lukes scenes take place at a different timeline right? And you do know that he pretty much said himself he was at studio right?

 

So be honest - how will you all react if it turns out Hamill really is only in one short scene at the very end and has no dialogue, and Luke's only other appearance is within the context of a "force vision" flashback with a different actor portraying him?

 

Personally, I will be fine as long as it services the story. But I will immediately start stealing myself up for all the threads and posts here about how much the movie sucked because of it.

 

I've stated before and will keep saying, I don't mind as long as there's the eventual payoff in Ep. 8 of a larger role where he can be a mentor to Finn and/or Rey and he eventually sacrifices himself for them.

 

You took the words right out of my mouth Kyle.. Awesome writing..

 

Are you referring to the scene they showed Luke kneeling by R2 and in the behind the scenes you can tell it's Hamill by his hands? That scene?

There's zero evidence that scenario is true other than speculation coming from some attention seeking blogger.

As for how I'll react, I would be fine with it if it's written well and makes sense. Though I still think it would be a slap in the face to the fans and to Mark Hamill.

 

Not to ruin Your point, because you are right for the most part. But TFA was actually shot in sequence, which is something JJ trends to do.

 

Except Ford's injury screwed up that plan

 

It's hilarious how so many people are willing to delude themselves and cling to their fanboy fantasies despite an ever-growing avalanche of evidence to the contrary. Whatever your personal feelings towards certain bloggers, it's pretty clear that their sources are legit.

 

What evidence is that?

 

Based on a minute and a half teaser from a 2 hr plus film.

And again I bring up the point I made earlier. Up until a week or two ago he claimed he knew everything that was filmed. He claimed Phasma was the Fett of this film with little screen time and little to do. Now he says she's in more scenes than he originally thought. Do you see why I find it hard to believe he's got the entire film?
This goes back to when he originally said Luke was in only one scene. At that point he said he was 110% sure that he knew all the scenes. Then he back tracked saying Luke is in more than one scene but Hamill is only in one scene that they got some 20 yr old actor to play a 50 yr old version of Luke. But now we've seen the teaser and a behind the scenes photo that possibly disproves that theory.

 

What Max Rebo said. Jason's sources were pretty reliable early on, but once he got whatever documentation he has now it really solidified.

He's made it clear that there's quite a bit of interpretation involved in reading the document (the snippets he's posted support that), so I can't say I'm shocked that he's unclear on some details.

Most of the stuff he ate crow on was speculation (i.e. cyborg Luke), and a lot of that was clearly marked as speculation as much as a lot of haters would like to pretend otherwise. I don't necessarily trust his analysis on everything, but it's clear that his sources are solid.

 

Hey guys!

Let's stay on topic. This is not a thread debating MSW or the validity of their sources. We all know where the rumor started and that's that.

 

Again I bring up the Phasma situation. Why is it that he's back tracked on the amount she's in it? Either he doesn't have the complete shot list. Or he hadn't decoded it correctly.
Again two weeks he ago he was completely positive he knew everything that was shot. Then where are these extra scenes coming from?

 

Come on now, I didn't say that. Just asking to keep this on topic and not focus on the accuracy of MSW's sources.

Trying to put out fires before they start, as certain people associated with that reporting can be polarizing figures. That's all, not trying to censor anyone.
