    The Revenant has some significant story issues, and Tom Hardy basically mumbles his way through the movie. However, the direction and cinematography are stellar, and Leo goes all out.

    If I had to guess, they're giving Poe a larger role, and possibly Phasma. The rewrites cannot be significant, as they've pushed principle photography back only a few weeks (it officially begins shooting in February now).

    The as of yet untitled Episode 8 is written and directed by Rian Johnson, and slated for release December 15, 2017. DAYS UNTIL STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII Lots of news on the next film in the new trilogy: The release date has been pushed back from May 2017 to December 2017. $$$$ Rian Johnson is revising his script, in what is said to be a move to reduce the role of further new characters and focus more on the trio introduced in TFA. Principle photography was set to begin in the next few weeks (end of January 2016), but has been delayed until February 2016 because of the script revision. Some filming with Hamill and Ridley was done on Skellig Michael island in fall 2015. Word is they will not be returning to the island due to the difficulty in shooting there, and they will pick up shots elsewhere and on a soundstage for further scenes on the island. Whatever they needed for physical continuity was gotten this past fall.

    That's because Luke was using the Force at the time.

    Again, it's not just 4; it's 4, 5, and 6. It takes beats from all three movies without any one being dominant.

    Wait, and we talking about Twitter, or Macross World? My Twitter feed is mostly film and baseball news. It is whatever you want it to be.

    Great use of music, humor, and the best shots in the movie make for a pretty good trailer. They also probably showed way too much, and I question whether or not it's an accurate representation of the movie. I mean, it's DC, so I assume dark, gritty, and brooding.

    I still get puzzled by people saying that 7 is a remake of 4. While it certainly takes story beats from the entirety of the original trilogy, it isn't close to being a "remake" of any single one of them.

    It's not the way you see it; it's the way it's obviously meant to be seen. You're 100% correct.

    Well, it's made pretty clear Vader had no idea he had a daughter. And why would he know Luke was his kid before being told his name? Especially since he'd never crossed paths with Luke before.

    It blows my mind this wasn't nominated for Best Picture. It's not a screw up of Drive proportions, but it's a pretty bad snub.
  13. Duke Togo
    It could use another pass as far as the clean up goes, and some of the darker scenes look a little rough, but otherwise it is a great addition to anyone's Star Wars film collection. It'll be interesting to see what improvements they can squeeze out of the picture in future releases. However, I assume those won't come until after they finish Empire and Jedi.

    No. I suspect he's just trolling.

    Leia is also a major player in the Rebellion. But hey, I provide a logical explanation, but you want to go with some bizarro prequel explanation. Whatever works for you, dude.
  16. Duke Togo
    That's awesome

    If he starts firing there's a chance things get out of control and Leia gets killed too.
  18. Duke Togo
    No it doesn't, and I'm pretty sure he was joking. And he pretty clearly cares about the Wookiee, because he's part of the bait to lure Luke. "Take the Princess and the Wookiee to my ship."
  19. Duke Togo
    One of the many continuity errors Lucas introduced with the prequels. Best to pretend they never happened.
  20. Duke Togo
    Interesting
  21. Duke Togo
    He hip fired instead of aiming down sight.
  22. Duke Togo
    You mean will it have old school Stormtroopers and vehicles and whatnot in it? We already know the answer to this: yes.
  23. Duke Togo
    Watching the opening again. They didn't catch the Tantive IV rendezvousing with the Rogue One team. "Where are those transmissions you intercepted?"
  24. Duke Togo
    I'm now 5 viewings deep with this film. 2 more to go!
  25. Duke Togo
    Not sure it would be showroom fresh. It takes place right before ANH opens. That would be catching them red-handed, which it doesn't sound like they are at the beginning of ANH. Leia was going to Tatooine to recruit the help of Obi-wan.
