Rian Johnson is great, I have high hopes for Episode 8.

Unless he can make a squirrel face I don’t want to hear it.

He can make “squirrel face” a better actress. That would be one huge improvement over TFA.

I hear if you say “squirrel face” three times in front of a mirror, Mala will visit you and tell you how he doesn’t like TFA all day.

Hell no. And why did you make it five times in your sig?

'cause it’s the Candyman legend, isn’t it ? It’s five times, not three. For three times I don’t bother to show up; five is okay, the guy really means it.

Never heard of Candyman, but Bloody Mary shows up after three times, no long waiting times, that’s customer friendly.

The charge comes from Adam Driver, so they aren’t “preempting” anything. The only way Rian could preempt the “inevitable ESB rip-off complaints” is that his movie would not be a ESB rip-off 😃

(by the way, can’t Edgar Wright direct Episode 9 ?)

JJ alluded to the next installments being original but that was a while ago and he didn’t outright say that VIII and IX were original.

If you read the Driver quote that’s not what he’s saying at all.

If only. Will have to hope for a spinoff.

I think Kylo should get himself a nice suit of armor (more Malgus than Vader but more lightweight) and ditch his robes for possible future events that involve him being shot by Chewie.

I think they’ll play up his wounds for sure. He’s got a few new scars thanks to the battle.

Keep Circulating the Tapes.

END OF LINE

For some reason I have the feeling Kylo may be dropped into his training immediately after he is brought to Supreme Leader Snoke as a form of punishment. Though this feeling is primarily based off the novelization.

I’d really like to see the “Luke & Leia” theme from ROTJ dusted off for their inevitable reunion, the way we got a handful of instances of the love theme from ESB in TFA. It would be a nice consolation for the sad fact that we’re not likely to hear that love theme ever again.

Fixed that for you. 😉

Don’t blame me, blame Richard Wagner.

I suspect we may get a title for this soon. IIRC, the title and first teaser for TFA were released thanksgiving week 2014, just under 13 months before the film. I’m positive Disney won’t want to drop a trailer before Rogue One is out, but I’m hopeful about the title.

So Johnson posted this picture on Instagram a few days ago and naturally it has resulted in a lot of speculations and rumours.

I love that top comment.

As per usual these things should be taken with a grain of salt, but I personally think it’d be great if this did turn out to be true;
