Red Carpet News TV - Star Wars The Force Awakens Pip Andersen Interview

 

"Seeing yourself as a character that people are going to fall in love with..."
Sound like he has a sizeable role.
He also mentioned the robotics; I remember an old post on here speculating that he might have robot legs or something to that effect.

 

stunt double?

 

Guys,

Am I the only one who caught this..? "There are robotic aliens.. and the faces being put on top of other peoples heads... but then THE GUY CONTROLLING THE ROBOTIC FACES.. it was so realistic.. you're kinda.. not knowing if the guy is real or not? "

Couldn't this be a massive tell? Who is he referring to? Does he mean Serkis? And who are the robotic faces.. Are these the Raid actors perhaps?

 

I think it's highly possible that people in this time are all anti-force. And most people have spent the last 30 years eradicating it from the galaxy and it's been pretty much gone all this time. (symbolizing how Star Wars has been absent from the real world). The vader comics have been telling a story about the emperor trying to find new technologies that would make the force obsolete. So there's a good chance there a lot of the Frankenstein cyborgs walking around and some are used as weapons. Maybe there's more than one grave robber with a robot face, maybe there's dozens or more. Then one day, one of them comes across Vaders mask, and something is awakened at the end of the movie.

 

Maybe he misremembers what he saw?

 

Could also be some kind of mo-cap to or even puppets. It will be interesting never the less, I don't think he has a major role though.

 

Seeing as how the Trade Federation was being manipulated by Palpatine in the first place, it would not be out of the realm of potential for the Empire to be able to utilize their robotic potential...

What if (and this is just a wild off the cuff thought) the Empire is running short on soldiers, and begins augmenting fallen soldiers cybernetically? We already say Grevous, and that technology was used on Vader... what if that practice increases? The advantage of clones over robots was intuition and creative thought... the advantage of the droids was a large army... the combination of the two would give a large army that would be virtually unstopable.

 

very interesting.

 

There are quite a few acrobatic warriors on tap in this movie - people who can jump, flip, and do all sorts of kung-fu!

Speculation on where we might see this stuff:
- A group of alien pirates attacking Han on freighter
- Aliens fighting off stormtroopers at Maz's castle
- Warriors like Kylo that are all following Uber and based on snowy planet

My favorite rumor is that these guys are all bounty hunters "The Clan" and that Uber has been their leader for a while - and Luke is going to show up and take the remaining warriors to task at some point.

 

I forgot about this guy till now.
