....thats another thing,....how come we didn't see any different versions of Astromech other than R2 units with different heads in the prequels.

 http://www.angelfire.com/droid/astromechs/page4.html

 

 Flip!.....never seen some of those images before

The R1,....similar to the droid the Jawas tried to sell

....but still no previous designs of R2 units (apart from the droid in the bath, which just looks like a dome painted in the style of a R2,...cheaply done)....

Nearly all the images in that link are all the traditional OT R2 units painted in different colours,....no design to indicate an evolution of previous models, like what is being done in the new film & in Rebels

The bulgy leg joints on those astrodtroids do remind me of :

....thats another thing,....how come we didn't see any different versions of Astromech other than R2 units with different heads in the prequels.

Now with the Rebels cartoon we've got designs based on RMcQ's concepts to show earlier evolutions which didn't show themselves in the prequels either. 

Even the Millennium Falcon (Known as the Stellar Envoy(??????)) in ROTS looked exactly the same as Han's modification,.....all the same greeblies,....just different paint scheme, they missed the chance to have it with all panels on,...not showing all the open/lost access bays covers...

....rant over

 So cool

Goosebump time

J

I have a Northern Irish accent,.....the first 2 people you hear in TPM have Ulster accents,......why not change the rest to fit?

J

Already posted a while ago,....but got its own thread

Second Standalone Film's Director announced:

J

Shoud we not have separate threads for each Standalone Film?

J

The Second Standalone Film's Director announced....Josh Trank

http://starwars.com/news/josh-trank-to-direct-stand-alone-star-wars-film.html

J

What would happen to this site if Disney released the BD's of the OT the way we wanted them?

J

Can a mod re-name the threads?

Change this one to Star Wars: Episode VII News : WARNING SPOILERS!!

The other one leave as is but add Spoiler Free

J

This is pissing me off,....why are there 2 Ep 7 threads with the same stuff posted on them.....the other one was fine....., but if this is its replacement, shouldnt the other be locked or this thread moved onto the original

J

Just thinking,...will JJ follow the embarking crew up the ramp & into the interior of the Falcon,....hes done something like that on the Enterprise?.....followed actors through huge sets of the ship......(though not to the brewery)

I hope the Falcon isnt 80% scale,....like the OT

J

I'm fine with the slightly different X wing,.....different T-model,.....things evolve,....The Falcon looks the same....phew,.....well painted & weathered

 I see a lot of robes, a couple funny hats. Admittedly I could go with some late 70s sideburns, but I just don't see Prequaly. 

 

Meanwhile on Tatooine....

 Great example,....only thing I can think that could explain is the Star Wars (A new Hope) images show interplanetary pilots etc,.....Mos Eisley Spaceport..

The others could be natives......Beru?......well she's a posh housewife,....not riffraff like the others

New pics from the set:
http://www.tmz.com/2014/06/02/star-wars-episode-7-set-photos-secret-pics-new-creature/

Looks like we may be getting some flashbacks:

Perhaps we'll finally get an answer to the long debated question of which charred skeleton is Owen and which is Beru ;-)

 Wooooow......cool looking designs.....

I like this one:

It doesn't look like something traditionally Tattooine, but does fit in though

J

Except every leap year, so

Empire magazine has voted 'The Empire Strikes Back' as the GREATEST movie of all time......and thats without Adywan's improvements....

....WOW!!

.....just gotta add,....the only Prequel to make the list in 300 greatest movies was 'Revenge of the Shit' @ 224

J

abattoir, but remember to wear

The other thing to also consider about this asteroid (this topic has been discussed before) is the gravity & pressure inside the cave when Han & Co go for a space walk.....I'm fine with it 'cause its Star Wars, so I don't mind the Ady added dust/debris,......things like that happen in SW

The largest problem with Anakin building C3PO is the fact that in the OT we see multiple droids that are the same make as C3PO.

Which means that either Anakin Skywalker designed an entire type of droid that would be the pinnacle of protocol droids for decades, or that he was exaggerating when he said he built it, and in fact only put it together from spare parts of other protocol droids. That were conveniently lying around Tatooine and that were the pinnacle of protocol droids for decades.

Either way it makes absolutely no sense at all. The way in which Vader doesn't regard him once in the slightest in the OT only compounds the ever increasing validity to the argument that Lucas can't write.

If you watch the series in numerical order there are numerous problems with the story. The largest problems however would be in regards to narrative, and the fact that the series biggest plot turns hold absolutely no weight to them at all. This is most apparent in ESB, with the discovery of Yoda and Vaders revelation to Luke.

 I think little Anny was building a 'Build your own Protocol Droid' partwork magazine/kit by DeAgostini that Watto had delivered for him, I think he was almost finished,....just 6 more issues left

So if they decide to release theatrical version in HD format, I wonder if they will release 1997 SE as well. I mean there are some of us whose favourite version is 1997 SE.

 HUH???

J

Fantastic!!

Did anyone else get goosebumps when the SW theme started?

Am I the only one who finds these women creepy? Seriously, it's like The Stepford Wives meets The Shadow over Innsmouth with these girls.

 ......no Jar Jar or Darth Maul ?.......not even with CW RoboLegs?.

This designer has no taste

J

Just watched the clip & it doesn't really look so bad,....really the only part that lasts with me is the trooper walking away and seeing more black of the back of his neck,....moving the helmet down slightly might improve the goof

Not real, but who really knows what logos we'll see at the beginning? ;)

 Ok,....this may be nonsense, but if Disney would like the Original OT released on BD before Ep 7 hits the cinemas......& I'm sure Fox would enjoy the revenue of that....there could be a deal with Fox to be included with Ep 7.......

That would be nice
