Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker General Movie Discussion

I don't know how to wait for Monday to see Rey with the double-bladed saber.

I don't care if it's bait. Reel me in and fillet me at the seafood stand of the supermarket next to the tilapia because I'm friggin HOOKED.

 

Eye spied in Canada!

 

I just say WOW

 

I mean, technically we are getting that Mando footage this November.



I was just expecting a BTS Sizzle Reel today, but we got so much more...

 

One might think whatever about JJ as a writer and director... but the man is gold in the interviews.

I am sure many will read his words as redemption for Kylo confirmed.

But the truth is that he left a gigantic door open to the idea that Kylo is going to fight the Emperor just because he has 0 wish to loose the power he's got.
That too will be a great performance from Driver's part.
Perhaps even more so, I would say.

Fact is that JJ is selling the movie to everybody.

 

A HD still of Jannah from Celebration. I'm curious about the background?

 

it's not showing for me.. but i'm guessing it's this one?

 

It is for me...

 

i can see your pic as well now.

now my post looks silly lol

 

John Williams, composer: "J. J. Abrams is directing the new film and I heard he's doing a fantastic job and I think - I won't say anything about it other than the ending will just (gestures) put you all away. I think you will love it." (August 31, 2019)

John Williams: “I fell in love immediately with Daisy Ridley. I think anybody would, man or woman. She is just a superstar born, certainly. And then, secondly, I was intrigued and immediately happy about the dialogue, which I found to be bright and quick and witty, and a little humorous, and didn’t take itself seriously—and had a wonderful atmosphere about it, all the way through. It was very easy to be instantly enthusiastic about this.” “It’s an interesting challenge with [Rey], because her theme doesn’t suggest a love theme in any way. It suggests an adventurer, a female adventurer, but with great strength. She’s a fighter, she’s infused with the Force, and it needed to be something that was strong but thoughtful. She’s a very young girl, but she’s a woman of diverse parts, and so there’s a maturity, I think, about the approach, melodically, to her that I hope will fit her. It seemed particularly challenging, both in the scavenger section in the beginning and in the trip to the island to find Luke in the end, where her theme is pretty fully realized with the orchestra. And it seemed to the right degree of strength and beauty for an adventuress.” (January 5, 2016)
John Williams: “Rey, for me, was particularly difficult. It’s a kind of an adventure theme, in a way. It’s feminine, I think, but strong in a way that she is. This is a girl who’s been a scavenger. She’s been alone, she’s without her parents. I felt a lot of empathy for this poor creature, who is at once brilliant, who can defend herself with that stick and speak all of these weird languages but you want to touch something in her that’s vulnerable and that recognizes her need. This feeling that she’s a creature who is above the earth and sails and flies.” (The Force Awakens home video bonus feature)
John Williams: “I never asked J.J. Abrams who Rey’s father is, but I think it’s Luke Skywalker. Your guess is as good as mine, though.” (May 13, 2016)
John Williams: “So in a few weeks I’ll receive a first viewing of [Star Wars: Episode VIII] and I should know who Rey’s father is – we don’t know, we’ll find out.” (August 15, 2016)
John Williams: “And I always have to think – when we talk about Star Wars – during the first film in 1977…none of us had any idea there would be a second film and I don’t think George Lucas had that idea in his mind either. So [the series has] developed in the most amazing way. The families…Rey’s parents might be identified to us in the next film.” “I hope so [that they’ll be identified too], too.” “Yes [I assume they’re pretty extraordinary and not just what somebody tried to tell her about anonymous people that died in the desert.” “I don’t believe [they’re anonymous people that died in the desert] either.” “I adored…Rey of course is played by Daisy Ridley who I so loved in The Force Awakens and last year when Kathy Kennedy rang me up and said, ‘Would you do the music for The Last Jedi?’ I said to her, ‘Is Daisy in it?’ (laughs) and she said ‘Yes’, so I said, ‘Yes’. (laughs)” (February 15, 2018)
John Williams: “(beaming) “(I) very much [like what I’ve seen of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker having seen an early cut]. [I’ve written about 25 minutes of score for it in a month.]” (May 10, 2019)
