OFFICIAL NEWS SDCC 2015: Lucasfilm's Panel Discussion Thread

This Periscope ended. Does anybody have another one?

 

That video was pretty freakin awesome. Was that Simon Pegg at the 2:01 mark? And was anyone annouced the director of Ep IX?

 

I'd like some realistic body motion from Daisy too. ;€) (creepy mustache smile)

 

This one seems to work, they are dropping like flies though: https://www.periscope.tv/w/aHCBcDE0MjQxMDd8Mzc2MjgxMTcqmOraYazt3r9Vrdz8V8Z4u8FDHhTXDFYo2xL-v142Fg==

 

What's the repeat button?

At the end of that video, and on his Twitter, he said he'd start periscoping again once it starts.

Edit - As I posted that, he tweets this:



So. Anyone have a good link?

 

This my friends, is what could make the film really special, see the craft in a puppet like that? Ah man, I hope this film is a home run, because it has every potential to be.

 

No, nobody spoke about Episode IX or any other Star Wars movies (Rogue One, Episode VIII, the Han Solo movie) or television series (Rebels). The focus was fully on The Force Awakens.

Here is my to cents. I don't normally follow CC but because of TFA I am paying attention this year and I like what I've seen/heard from JJ and Lucasfilm. I think JJ gets Star Wars and really seems to be committed to creating a really good movie. It was obvious from the panel transcript that they are trying there best to keep the story under wraps and I am fine with that. Through the the 2 teasers and now this CC stuff it is obvious they are only showing us bits and pieces of stuff that has leaked. The video was absolutely amazing and visually this movie is going to look awesome. Kylo looks so badass and I like the look of Gen. Hux. Although we didn't see Maz it was cool seeing some of the aliens from the VF picture in real life. Although I was initially hopeful of a trailer (before we heard there want going to be one) this video was perfect. I'm super excited about this movie. Even if we don't get to hear what was played at the concert, I think it is super cool they are doing that for those who attended the panel. Major props to JJ and Lucasfilm.

 

John Williams intro for the concert! https://www.periscope.tv/w/aHCDATcyOTIyMTJ8Mzc2MzY5NzU6mKJhtpkfT3SUeK3pmhsMm4D6lco9-RTDt7RCQlV4zw==

 

Stream gave out just as it was beginning.

 

hmmm, interesting.

They have a camera crane there and it is moving during the concert.

Ok so after watching the BTS a few times, some comments.

-Poe being escorted in hallway...it looks like Finn escorting him(body shape, gait).

-Red-armored dudes running through industrial corridor(the ones with the old Kylo Ren concept)=mods/rockers on the freighter?

-Leia looking good.

-Poe running under xwing on Jakku at night=confirmation he is there during the slaughter and captured at that time?

-The music from the first part of the video doesnt seem like Star Wars so my guess is it isn't new score from Johnny Williams(I sort of hope it isn't to be honest). If it is I will have to get used to it and would say it may be Rey's theme perhaps.

-R2 at Rebel Base confirmed...3p0 as well?

-The crashed TIE is indeed the "Elite" Tie Fighter shown escaping from the Star Destroyer hangar in the 2nd teaser.

-Poe wearing the jacket we've seen Finn holding in the desert(and later wearing).

 

I was thinking to myself who the heck those red guys were.

 

Is that Bossk hanging diagonally on the wall?

 

So what happens if they end the concert with a live score of a new trailer?

 

3PO is in a tactical battle room too, the maps look very similar to previous battle command areas in the OT.

I love the theory that it is Finn escorting Poe, he's hurried like he's trying to get somewhere using the old "prisoner transfer" routine. I think it might actually be part of their escape.
