Also, was this guy in TFA, or is this a new character?

He was in TFA. I believe he was piloting an X-Wing…

Actually I’m pretty sure he was at the Resistance base during the battle. He had a couple lines about how many ships they were losing. might have been a different color, but definitely the same species at least.

Ah! I think you’re correct!

What’s the internal temperature of a TaunTaun? Luke warm.

They already used X-Wings so why not A-Wings.

Also who knows their might be new ships as well.

X-wings and A-wings are taken from the OT? Worst movie ever!
TIE fighters are not like the ones from the OT? Worst movie ever!

Ceci n’est pas une signature.

Really what this movie needs is more dump trucks and less spaceships, since we already had seven movies with spaceships.

"There is nothing new under the sun. Creativity anyone ?"

Answers:

  • why not ?
  • you want a SW movie without Spaceships?
  • and… I don’t even know how to call Durathing answer.

Very interesting forum indeed…

Just in case that slipped your mind.

And why wouldn’t the Resistance be using updated A Wings? We live in a world where the Air Force is still flying B-52 bombers. A now sixty one year old design.

And if the filmmakers were to use all new ship designs, then someone would accuse them of doing so just to create new toys to sell. : /

Where were you in '77?

And it’s only been 30 years since from ROTJ to the ST.

I’ve been hearing rumors of plot leaks to which some big reveals have surfaced. Are there any credibility to these claims?

 (Edited)

None at all as far as I can tell. I looked at them the other day and they’re quite clearly just the rumors that were already floating around stitched together into a narrative. There’s absolutely nothing new.

That’s hopeful but even if they’re fake it will still be impossible to avoid them forever. If anything should have leaked it’s the damn concept art.

I want to see FN-2187 and the Starkiller Sanitation Crew: A Star Wars Story

Shooting for Episode VIII is half way done. That doesn’t mean much seeing as how we probably won’t be seeing anything for a while but it is comforting 😃

Maybe they built upon the half ship from TFA? Although I could have sworn we saw full Falcon being being built in the first TFA set leak pics.

I get a Cloud City vibe from that one set. 😉

Where were you in '77?

I don’t know that one set there with only the front built looks awfully prequel-era. Too many bad memories associated.

Author
Time

I think a location having a prequel like vibe isn’t a bad idea so long as it’s an actual set.

Author
Time

It all depends on what happens there. 😃

Star Wars Day Force for Change video featuring Daisy, BB-8, some aliens, and what is likely an Episode VIII set. Nothing in here I’d classify as a spoiler, but I don’t want anyone freaking out on me for revealing that Admiral Ackbar is still around, so I’m playing it safe and putting it here.
