I was fascinated with this shot in the SE because of the sudden new detail. The story always was that they had smeared vaseline on the lens while shooting to help hide the mirror covering the tires.

But it's looking like the blur was only added in post.

It's also fascinating to see so clearly the delineation between that one guy's legs and the rotoscope work under the speeder.

Star Wars: Episode VII to be directed by J.J. Abrams **NON SPOILER THREAD**

I'm still not entirely convinced they completely abandoned George's outline. Modified sure but the fact that the name Kylo Ren is a George name is evidence that they've at least kept parts of it.

Also, I'm glad that the ideas for the ST aren't coming directly from the filmmakers. Especially Abrams. He's never cared for story as evidenced by the writer friends he's employed and helped break into the industry.

I have a lot more faith in the Story Group which is made up of people who have been deeply involved with Star Wars for years than I do random outsiders.

As for Hart, she sounds like the go-between for the Story Group and Kennedy and everyone else.

Teases at the prequels with the scene where he remembers his lightsaber (also in star wars #2) and also makes you remember that little Annie can speak huttese

And the second-to-last chance this series had of convincing me to end my boycott of Marvel has gone out the window.

 There are no real references to the prequels other than the design of the Emperor's office on Coruscant. Smithers just likes that Vader knows Huttese.

This is just SPECTACULAR news.Though I do have some reservations.

Im not particularly excited that Pascal is still attached to the franchise. She hasn't exactly been a great steward for it the past 13 years. The Sinister Six fiasco being the biggest disappointment.

Secondly, I really don't like this reshuffling of Phase 3 to make room for a Spidey flick. Specifically what this means for the Inhumans now that they've officially been introduced in AoS.

Lastly, I wonder what affect this is going to have on Black Panther. I'd hate to see him completely overshadowed.

Still, it'll be great to see Spidey mixing it up with the rest of the gang.
