The man was a true corelian hero. And he only shot in self defense !
I’m warming to the idea of this being Han’s funeral. Does this mean we’re going to Corellia?! I’d really love that. I’m not itching to see Tatooine or Bespin again any time soon, but it would be cool if the ST takes us to some OT planets that were name dropped but never seen rather than sticking to completely new places like TFA did.
That’s something I’d love to see too, but I’m wondering why Han would warrant a big fancy funeral filled with gangsters. Was he really that we’ll respected a smuggler? Then again we don’t know exactly what he’s been up to in the thirty years between ROTJ and TFA.
He’s still the guy who helped Luke blow up the Death Star.
He also was instrumental in disabling the deflector shield in the Battle of Endor. As far as I’m concerned Han deserves a goddamn statue.
Oh sure, he definitely deserve a big funeral. But going off my assumption that these aliens looks like gangsters/criminals it seems weird that they would give him a big funeral. The Resistance giving him a big funeral, that makes sense, but these guys doesn’t exactly look like rebels or politicians (not to me anyway). I also doubt that Leia would invite a bunch of criminals to Han’s funeral. Unless of course they are the ones who eventually cause the trouble that will undoubtedly happen.

Maybe they were good friends of his. Scum maybe but good scum like Hondo Ohnaka.

That’s a bit more viable. Maybe they and The First Order attack in unison. Just like how Kanjiklub and the other guys were going to give BB-8 to The First Order; when the occasion calls for it they work in tandem. Would be kind of like how Vader used bounty hunters in ESB.

Not in my Star Wars.
Should we worry about the frame rate of Ep8? Are they going down the Hobbit route? 😉
Admittedly it did seem like it was on the same day they were filming a speeder exploding, so hopefully it’s just for an effects shot
SPOOLER ALERT
Supreme Leader Snoke is… Yoda!
Evidence
lol to Supreme Leader Snoke theories
SPOOLER ALERT
Supreme Leader Snoke is… Yoda!
Evidence
- Yoda and Snoke have never appeared together.
- Yoda has never been critical of Supreme Leader Snoke.
- Supreme Leader Snoke’s true size has intentionally never been shown.

I hope you’re just joking here. I mean the “Snoke is Vader” theory is wild enough but this is lunacy.

I am joking but I have seen a theory like this.

The Hobbit was in theaters (at least here in the US) at both frame rates so I was able to choose the “proper” one.

With most posters it would be obvious that this was a joke, but your post history makes it less clear.

For me the “Snoke is Leia” theory is the first thing that always comes to mind.
Snoke is Soylent Green.
Pretty sure they’re shooting on film, so no Hobbit video look.
Where were you in '77?
Both ep. VIII and XI will be shot on film, so it’s probably just for an effects shot as previously suggested. Plus, TFA had a slow-motion shot in it, so it’s probably just that Johnson is doing something similar.
It also says “roll” and “stock” which wouldn’t make much sense without film. I also think shooting film at 48fps all the time would get very costly after a while, not to mention being impractical.

Back in the 80’s Douglas Trumbull was going to shoot the featutre film Brainstorm in Showscan, a 70mm 60fps process he developed, but it ended up only being used for ride films. What I saw of Showscan at the Luxor in Las Vegas back in the 90’s was much more impressive than what Peter Jackson tried with the Hobbit trilogy.

Well, I’m not saying it’s impossible, it just seems unlikely to me.
Also 70mm in 60fps sound like a nightmare to shoot. I didn’t even know it was possible to shoot an entire feature like that. How long were these “ride films”?

I think we can put the funeral rumors to bed, unless Corellian funerals are a lot more fun than Earth ones: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3494170/Star-Wars-Episode-VIII-films-aboard-mega-yacht-coast-Dubrovnik-Croatia-sign-film-s-main-stars.html
It looks to me like this is some kind of society event. I’d been leaning in that direction anyway since there are almost as many white costumes as black ones. Looks more like evening wear than mourning garb.

Does anyone recognize the cameras in these photos?
They look like digital cameras to me, but we’ve already seen that Johnson is shooting ep. VIII on film. Is there any reason why this scene would be shot digitally? There’s people in alien costumes so It’d be weird if it wasn’t for some other movie.
(This video has some better photos towards the end; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-heyfopgT0)
It’s really not that important, it just kind of bothers me.

Not sure what type of camera that is, but it looks like it’s in a gyroscope type mount to minimize the effects of the ship rocking out on the water.

Well, I was more focusing on the lack of a film magazine. Granted they get taken off for loading, but it’s missing on every picture I’ve seen. I guess the photos could all be from between actual filming, but the actors look like they’re in character (especially the woman with the opera glasses). Also the over-all size and the battery pack makes them look like digital cameras to me.

Maybe they’re shooting something that will be seen as a hologram?
Where were you in '77?
This belongs in one of potentially four different threads, so apologies if I’ve chosen poorly, but anyway: do we think JJ’s weak-ass explanation of why R2 booted up when he did and had the map might have just been spoiler prevention for VIII? I think it would make a lot more sense if it turns out that Luke gave part of the map to Lor San Tekka intending to have him to give it to Rey and send her to Leia when the time was right, and programming R2, whom he’d given the rest of the map, to come back online when Rey shows up wherever R2 is (presumably with Leia). That’s so much better than saying BB-8 jostled R2 back online and it just took a while for his system to load, and that he downloaded the map when he was plugged into the Death Star in IV. I’m hoping this is revealed with some sort of “how did you find me?” exchange between Luke and Rey early in the next film.
The map could have been bundled with the DS plans. Why steal one cookie when you can take the whole jar? And that might tie into Rogue One.

There’s lot of random speculation in this video, but these concept art drawings of the Knights of Ren that gives us a much better look at the ones we saw very briefly in TFA are pretty interesting, especially their designations;

These guys need to play a pivotal role in the plot of the sequels.
I’d love to see this battle unfold and it’s been confirmed that this not the slaughter of Luke’s students. I wonder if this could be the climax of Episode IX.
That’s an interesting thought. It hadn’t even occurred to me that Rey might have seen into the future.
Either way I’m pretty sure that we’ll at least get a closer look at some of the Knights of Ren. And it seems unlikely that they’ll deviate too much from the concept art that I posted as they’ve already appeared breifly in TFA.
(I’m also quite intrigued by what a “monk of Ren” implies.)
