    At the Celebration Europe Future Filmmakers Panel, Rian Johnson said he watched the following films with the Lucasfilm storygroup to inspire the scriptwriting for Episode 8: Twelve O'Clock High, Letters Never Sent, Bridge on the River Kwai, Dambusters, Three Outlaw Samurai, Gunga Din, and Sahara. Rian Johnson said that after production for Episode 8 ended and he has seen the film he has put together he realises that much of Twelve O'Clock High has made it into Episode 8. Does this mean that Episode 8 will be a war film focusing on the Resistance fighting the First Order? Will Episode 8 explore the relationships between Resistance fighters and between First Order soldiers during the war? Will Leia, Poe, Finn, Wexley, Hux and crew be the main characters of Episode 8 instead of Luke, Rey, Kylo and Snoke? Will Three Outlaw Samurai inspire the story of Luke, Rey, Kylo and Snoke? If the abovementioned films inspired Rian Johnson and the storygroup during scripwriting, what do these films reveal about the plot and style of Episode 8?

    Well, going off the MSW leaks, it seems certain that the relationship between Davenport and Savage's characters from 12 O'Clock will mirror Leia and Laura Dern's character. The "theme" from Twelve O'Clock being that a military commander (Leia) asks for help/assistance from the Republic for the Resistance to better defend themselves. The Republic gives her Dern's character to "straighten them out", she is incredibly harsh and strict on the group, and perhaps has underlying sinister ulterior motives. There are tons of other analysis' online of all the other films and how they relate. But I'm 90% sure that is what they got from Twelve O'Clock High.

    Someone asked Rian Johnson which modern movies he watched for EPVIII. The answer is quite interesting.

    "Picture Start"? Weird title for a SW movie, I admit.

    The title would surely they follow except it would reveal a bog spoiler he carefully wants kept secret, the title has already been chosen he just enjoys us fans speculating with our imagination.
