Episode VIII : The Last Jedi - Discussion * SPOILER THREAD *

I figured that spoilers would start popping up soon, so I thought I’d have a thread ready for them when they started coming. They won’t be from filming, obviously, but they’ve got to be doing some sort of work at this point.

I might be a little premature on this, but I can’t help but want to have all three spoiler threads started by the same person. 😉
 

As a courtesy to fellow members, when linking to youtube videos or articles etc, please give both the title and source to which you are linking to - thank you.

Perhaps you should just start the Episode IX spoiler thread then and get it all over with already. =P

 And to be perfectly consistent across the board, I think I'll start one for episodes I-VI as well. ;)

Clicking through to the original source article at TheWrap.com led me to this quote:

Oscar winner Benicio del Toro is nearing a deal to play the villain in “Star Wars: Episode VIII,” for which plot details remain unknown. However, the Internet has taken it upon itself to speculate that Han Solo’s daughter could be introduced in the film.

Han Solo's daughter? But I thought that was supposed to be Daisy Ridley's character.... where's she going to be in Ep8 anyways?

So, we'll have two Star Wars movies filming while the newest one isn't even out yet.

Can we take the strain of it all? ;)

Is it a bad sign that they're only taking two years apeice for the new films, or was that the same for the other six and they just took off a year in between production of films?

I don't think it's bad sign because they seem to be moving things along quite smoothly.  They're probably more far along with Episode VIII than we realize or they've announced.  I'm sure the casting is finished or nearly finished by now and will be announced when they are start filming at Pinewood next year in March.  Supposedly, the original three (Han, Leia and Luke) will reprise their roles in Episode VIII as well.

 IIRC, pre production on AOTC was underway as TPM was in theaters. The same for ROTS as AOTC was released.

Also, they seem to be working on scripts for the sequels well in advance. That makes planning the films a lot easier.

Yeah, Rian Johnson was announced as director and writer for Episode VIII over a year ago.

 Your first sentence does not reassure me.

Cool. I hope Mark has a big role in VIII.

Now I'm seeing that filming had finished after all and won't resume until the new year. I remember an interview where Mark said he hates having a beard, so i'm thinking he just shaved after the shoot and will probably grow it back in a couple of months.

 That so needs to be a droid name in a Ricdiculous edit.

I'm avoiding TFA spoilers, but saw a headline about Mark Hamill filming for Episode VIII. I'm glad that Luke will evidently survive the new movie and go on to appear in at least one more. This is good news, though I would've preferred to not even know that. 

My stance on revising fan edits.

Force ghost is a thing. But I also think Luke will survive TFA.

 This is probably one of the reasons that reports were so ambiguous or contradictory regarding whether they were filming VII or VIII on that island. 

Reports confirm it's 7? "OMG they're still filming so last minute this movie is obviously going to flop." Confirm it's 8? "OMG Luke is alive but his beard didn't survive VII."
