Everyone start working on your Rogue One avatars. I have found mine. 😉

Man November came and went in a flash. RO time has come.

Huh, that’s cutting it pretty tight. He only had a month to do the score:

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So you were a late addition to the Rogue One crew…
MICHAEL GIACCHINO: Yes, literally the last thing I expected I’d be doing this month would be this. I mean we were literally planning a vacation when I got the call asking if I could come and talk to them about it. At the time, it left me with literally four and a half weeks to write. So it was one of those decisions where you’re like, okay, well… And I was talking to my brother about it. He goes, “Oh, come on. You’ve been writing this score since you were 10! You can do this.”

Phew, just made it in and out before the site crashed. Didn’t get the perfect seats, but I got the ones right next to them. I am excite.

Yeah, getting that too.

Yeah that could happen, also I wonder if their will be an Asian cut of the film which is slightly different, it happens much more frequently today and many films do this to cater to Asian markets.

I think the most interesting instance of this was Iron Man 3, where they shot new scenes starring a couple of China’s biggest stars. They added absolutely nothing to the plot and it was just an excuse for some targeted product placement. Apparently the intended audience wasn’t impressed.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)

Fantastic film, love me some 1930s New York! It was also great to see “Hutch” land such a big role. I hope he can bank on this film to further his career.

I’m in the middle of this year’s 2016 Turkey Day MST3K marathon so I can’t look it up but I believe the Maul eyes were from the animatic that Spielberg made to choreograph the chase on Utapau.

Well, just remember that “close” is quite relative when dealing with a map that covers an entire galaxy.

Yeah, I get that. It is just further shrinks the Star Wars galaxy. I understand the need to have Scarif near Tatooine in order for the events of ANH to kick off.

In AOTC, Obi-Wan’s long range transmitter is damaged and so he can’t contact Coruscant directly. Instead he reaches out to Anakin on Naboo to retransmit his message for him. Except, Anakin isn’t on Naboo but Tatooine. This places both systems within range of Geonosis.

People always underestimate the power of the theater.

For posterity:

If he does I hope they get his makeup right this time.

I went on a bit of spree recently. Bought the following:

• Spaced Invaders
• Monster House
• Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
• E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
• The Land Before Time
• Iron Giant
• Godzilla 1984

Got mine on Dec. 14th right after work! 😃

What’s it like in the future?

For a year that didn’t have very many good movies…

I thought it was a pretty good year for film:

• Hunt for the Wilderpeople
• Kubo and the Two Strings
• Hell or High Water
• Train to Busan
• Shin Godzilla
• Arrival

That’s at least one solid film every other month. And we still have Rogue One and Passengers to look forward to.

Nien Nunb might be in Rogue One.

He is Lando’s alien co-pilot in Return of the Jedi.

It seems unlikely that well see any Sullustans in RO as they canonically (in both btw) only joined the Rebel Alliance shortly before the Battle of Endor.

That wouldn’t have much affect on when individual members of the species joined the Rebellion. For example, in the Legends canon it was a Sullustan that scouted out Yavin IV before it became the home of the hidden Rebel base.

That aside, the thing that discredits the idea that Nien Nunb is in Rogue One is the fact that at that time he was still a smuggler in the current canon. Which was revealed in a Marvel comic back in June of last year.

The big question is did the front ramp exist in the original 1977 design? 😉

McQuarrie’s original initial sketches:

Minority Report

Sounds about right.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Featurette

Sheesh, it’s like the ending of Harry and the Hendersons in here. I had no idea there were so many lurkers around.

I like it because it reminds me of old RPGs.

Yeah, that’s why I prefer the John Smith pack. It maintains that pixely style.

Additionally, we’ve been told that Inhumans has no impact on the fate of Agents of SHIELD. No decision has been made as to whether Agents of SHIELD will return for a fifth season or not.
