I pondered about how the movie would end the other night and thought it would be cool if, after stealing the plans and transferring them to Leia, Felicity Jones’ character is captured and put in the detention area in the Death Star. There are shots of her being interrogated and what not. Then she hears the muffled sounds of blaster fire, and then a voice from the other side of the walls “my name is Luke Skywalker, I’m here to rescue you…” A few more shots of time passing (the brass maybe asking her who these two men and their Wookie were) and then alarms go off. People are running around, the station starts to rumble, the lights flicker and she understands what is happening and says, “They did it…” And then… Explosion.

Lol, so basically like the Robot Chicken sketch?

that’s why i said somebody, name source and it opens can of worms, but who knows…

its not based on speculation just what i heard from somebody, and i don’t think its leaked over news, clickbait sites

i posted because they are going for the father angle kind of recycling material like force awakens did

i thought you star wars fans would appreciate this

Even from afar the Tarkin face in ROTS was distractingly awful. He looks like a zombie or a burns victim.

Earlier tests looked better :

There must have been so many innocent/rebel prisoners aboard the Death Star that died in the aftermath.

We don’t know that. It’s possible that all the cells were empty except for Leia’s or that the other cells held Stormtroopers who showed up to work drunk.

For the prisoner transfer ruse with Chewie to work, there had to be some prisoners somewhere on the Death Star.

We also never find out the fate of the Tantive’s crew that was taken alive.

Felicity Jones is way too beautiful compared to Daisy Ridley. I hope the characters of R1 are not related to other characters of any of the 3 trilogies. I’d like this one shot to be a real self contained movie. The only sure thing is that its direct sequel is one of the greatest movie ever made.

Judy Garland was way too beautiful compared to Liza Minnelli. What’s your point?

In the inner logic of movies you have to buy a slight ressemblance between relatives. I don’t see any between Jones and Ridley.

edit: but with second thoughts, Portman and Christensen are way better looking than Fisher and Hamill, so… wouldn’t be new in SW.

Reading this in the voice of Rick is just too good.

In Hammill’s defense he did get into a car accident right before shooting ESB.

I’ll take '70s-'80s Carrie over Portman any day of the week, thank you very much.

(The same would apply with Mark over Christensen, were I a woman or gay.)

Spencer wilding could possibly play Vader In RO

Neither are confirmed, but it is interesting to think about!

He looks to have some experience in wearing bulky costumes. As long as James Earl Jones is doing the voice- thats the important thing.

It seems like people are really embracing the new characters. In fact, the big question people ask me now about Star Wars is, “Are Finn and Poe gay lovers?” And really how the f*ck would I know? My second husband left me for a man, so my gaydar isn’t exactly what you’d call Death Star level quality. ----Carrie Fisher
