UPDATE! It’s a Wrap on the Puzzlewood Shoot. Little People Wanted for Extras? Not Ewoks!

puzzlewood

One of our readers shared a really interesting story shedding some more light on the mysterious Puzzlewood shoot. Mark from Abergavenny registered with casting agency in Bristol 2 weeks ago and heard some really interesting bits about the shoot…

 

Here’s what Mark described about the shoot:

(From yesterday) I just drove by the set again (I live 45 minutes from location) and at least hoped there would be a crowd of fans I could hang out with for an hour or so. Where are they? Nothing to see, I guess. Today it looks like half the trailers have moved out and weren’t many parked cars. So crowd scenes are probably finished. 

 

(From today) It’s a wrap! My uncle lives up the road and saw spaceship / section on low loader this morning on his way to work. I just got back from location and all the trailers have gone. They’re clearing up now. So 4 days shoot for 1 or 2 scenes. The spaceship was seen being delivered yesterday morning. When I drove by yesterday lunchtime I couldn’t see anything. Traffic cones were placed right where local observers were seen standing earlier.

 

I registered with casting agency in Bristol 2 weeks ago and I was waiting for my photo and asked a full time extra if he was working on AVCO and what my chances were. He said his mate was a Stormtrooper on it and there was only a shortage of little people for this big battle scene they wanted to film. 

 

While this story sounds legit still it’s only a rumor.

 

UPDATE!

 

I have made some edits on the quote because it was misleading. The guy made an assumptions that the spaceship is the Falcon and the “little people” are Ewoks. I received a legit confirmation that the Falcon was not at the Puzzlewood set and there won’t be any Ewoks in Episode 7.

 

Still that doesn’t mean that the spaceship and the little people thing is fake but surely they are not the Falcon and the Ewoks!

    Oh, man…

    Though it sounds very much like this could be Endor, and where there’s Endor there’s Ewoks, I would REALLY hope that they keep the teddy bears with pointed sticks to a minimum in this movie.

      GASP! You mean there was something about the OT that wasn’t good? There’s a revelation…

        Aw hell, the OT had plenty of flaws. Especially by the time you get to ROTJ, when Lucas was trying to tie up a story that had originally been intended to go on for a few more movies.

        Personally, I always felt like he blew a golden opportunity when he swapped out his original idea for a planet full of Wookiees for a planet full of Ewoks. I know, he always said that he’d made Chewbacca too sophisticated (able to fly a starship, etc.) for the idea of a primitive tribe of Wookiees to work, but think about this:

        Suppose the Bothans had discovered information that the Empire’s new Death Star was being built in orbit around Kashyyyk. Han and the other Rebels would have thought, “A planet full of Wookiees on our side? This will be a piece of cake!”

        Except when they arrive on Kashyyyk, what they find is Wookiees who have been beaten down by the Empire for so long that all the fight has gone out of them. Han’s reaction would have been priceless as he suddenly realized they’d hung all of their hopes on a bunch of Wookiees who were scared of their own shadows.

        And of course, in the end they are persuaded to rise up and take their planet back, which if done properly could have been the kind of massively triumphant moment that would have had the audience on their feet cheering.

        Yeah, there’s some OT stuff that could have been done better, no doubt about it.

        • July 12, 2014 at 10:27 am
          Permalink

          Yes, it is a pity the Wookie idea was dropped. So what is Chewbacca is “sophisticated”? They could easily have made up a backstory where he was removed from his primitive culture at a young age and exposed to advanced technology, whereas his brethren back on homeworld remained at stoneage level.

          I have also read that they would have had trouble finding enough really tall people to fill the wookie costumes. Heck, for mass battle scenes they could have used normal-sized people as wookies and have them fight stormtroopers that were really children in smaller armor! To the audience, this would look like big, huge wookies fighting adult humans.

          But personally I would probably have dropped the whole forest planet/moon and set the action in the cityscape of the imperial homeworld, at the time called “Had Abaddon”. As demonstrated by the still-impressive visuals of Blade Runner (starring Harrison Ford!), FX technology of the early eighties could have delivered a perfectly acceptable “science fiction ciry”.

          A dark, Blade Runneresque world would also have matched the tone of Luke’s trial before the throne of the emperor much better. Cutting back and forth between the ominous Death Star set and sunny, green Endor always created a palpaple inconsistency of atmosphere in the movie.

            I still can’t believe so many people don’t even understand the themes of star wars. The empire is constantly underestimating everything. Admirals didn’t even believe in the force while the rebels did as they were saying “may the force be with us/you” a number of times, then the empire always underestimated the rebels and their opposition in general, even to a point where the idiots of the audience go alone with it as well. That was the empires fatal flaw. They didn’t bother making the stormtroopers well equipt fightmen, they just gave them plastic armour and presumed that would be enough to scare everyone. Their underestimating destroyed the first death star, “Well, the Empire doesn’t consider a small one-man fighter to be any threat, or they’d have a tighter defense.” This is a big theme for star wars- the empire’s cockiness. Having ewoks there continues that theme because even as an audience you don’t believe these tiny creatures could do anything at first, but it turns out that they are not just some little herd, the entire planet is essentially run by them yet the empire still underestimated that and still decided to put the shield generator there. So when they alied with the rebels the empire was probably outnumbered 100-1 which made the battle completely plausible. It showed you don’t need guns and technology, it showed you needed to come together and join forces to overthrow whatever is evil. Although unfortunately with the low budget looking production it was very hard to visualize it properly in the battle. But even then it wasn’t a proper battle, it was just a diversion so Han could get in and blow up the shield generator. The actual fight was going on in space so in a way it doesn’t really matter. Including ewoks was a clever trick to lighten things up to contrast the heavy battle going on in space. Plus as George has said, making them wookies would destroy the primitive species element as they are shown to be technologically savvy.

            Calm down, now. I understand the themes of Star Wars perfectly well, and so does Tirindo. So, I’d say, does damned near everyone else around here.

            Yes, the Empire’s overconfidence and their tendency to underestimate their opponents was their fatal flaw (as was the fact that they couldn’t just stomp on people and not have them eventually get sick of it and bust out live with a good ol’ fashioned ass-whippin’.

            There are many ways to underestimate a foe. It doesn’t just have to be “They’re too small to hurt us.” It can also be “We have them so cowed and beaten down that they’ll never dare to oppose us now,” and that’s what we’d have seen turn around on them had Lucas stuck with Wookiees instead of going with the teddy bears.

            And that would have fit in just fine with that overall theme of Imperial underestimation of their enemies.

            Exactly right.

            Tarkin, Vader, Sidious, Maul and on and on underestimate all the time which is why they ultimately fail.

            I really found the Ewoks on location thing a bit weak and the idea that the Falcon would be there ridiculous.

            This is second unit material and could tie into that temple set which I think was confirmed.

            Sounds more like some piece of action that will be blended into a digital created set of models, miniatures, mattes and live action plates plus CG enhancements like the ground battle of Naboo.

    No Ewoks please. Good addition to the trilogy but let’s move on, and we do not need bloody flash backs either if that’s the case.. I doubt there’s much truth to this as I’m struggling to believe JJ and everyone would ever think this is a good idea via the inane hatred the ewoks get from pop culture, and contrary to popular belief the heads at Disney are not stupid enough to demand ewoks..

      ROFL!!

      And so the roots of the backlash begin…

      I really wonder what is going to happen when to their shock and amazement some people will find out this movie is not “perfect” like the OT (or more probably like SW and ESB) and then they’ll have to either start questioning their beliefs about how to tell Star Wars stories or more likely they’ll blame JJ for “ruining” the ST.

    Maybe a third Death Star blows up Endor.

    And millions of adorable little voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

    For the first time in my life, I’m smiling at the thought of a third Death Star.

        Ewoks are a vicious primitive species. They tore the heads off of their victim stormtroopers and used them as drums. They were going to cook Luke and Han alive. I actually find it comical that some of the audience falls into the trap that the empire did of underestimating them by what they seem like at first appearance.

      Where would the focus of the dark side of the force be? would it be in space where Vader died? or would it be on Endor where he was put to rest and there is a physical connection to the living world thru his suit? If they are going to follow the story plot of Vader suit being involved because it is a focal point for the dark side of the force. Is it in space where the death star was? or on the ground? or does the emperor dying in close proximity mess the whole thing up?. But if bad Vader died on the Death Star then it would be in space. But if its the suit, then did the suit remain evil even though Vader was good when he died. I wonder if the suit made his death more pain full making the suit more evil?

    If it is Endor (and Ewoks) I wonder if the beginning of 7 will have a quick scene to show what happened after Endor where EP6 left off to connect both trilogies. I’m all for that…we need to catch up on 30 years of history! I know the crawl will probably do that but would love to see it than read it.

    ‘Little people’ as extras means one of three things. I think we can rule out the first two, Munchkins and Leprechauns, so that leaves just Ewoks.
    Has to be a flashback scene.

    They could be on Endor for as little as a 2 to 3 minute sequence for all we know. A ship drops there at dusk and a mysterious shadowy cloaked figure emerges and a few ewoks scatter in fear as the black shrouded man approaches the ewoks sacred burial site and picks up the charred helmet of the infamous Sith Lord Darth Vader.

    He holds the helmet up to examine it, then…wipe transition to the next scene.

    calm yourselves people..it isnt like the Ewoks are going to have a major role in the movie..they only filmed a couple scenes. you can all talk shit about the Ewoks all you want..but you know when you were a kid, you absolutely loved them.and you in fact had the ewok villiage playset… get the fuck over yourselves. Seeing as there are rumours of Vaders burnt costume..i am assuming someone pays a visit to Endor and were probably followed by imperials.You cant just go to Endor and not even show one scene without acknowleding the Ewoks….and hell for all you know..J.J may be doing you a favor and slaughtering the Ewoks..lol.. Myself..I have no problem with the Ewoks..Wicket was one of my favorite characters and toys when i was a child, and if the Ewoks are truly in this movie, it will put a smile on my face..and i hope Warrick Davis gets to jump in the costume one last time, he definately deserves it. you people sound more like Star Trek Fans than Star Wars fans to me..too god damn serious about everything..nothing will please you guys..it could be the most perfect film ever made, and you people would still find ways to pick it apart and trash it…why do you people even come to this site? is what i would like to know. it sounds to me like you basically just hate Star Wars period… and grew out of it, but dont want to admit it to yourselves…move along…..move along, let the people who actually enjoy star wars…enjoy it.

    ewwww like..how could you possibly even begin to believe that a bunch of teddy bears could whip the empires ass with sticks and stones??? well i will tell you how…i do it the same way that i beleived that a giant space station was floating around the galaxy with enough firepower to destroy a planet..you can actually hear engines, lasers and explosions in space.lightsabers…the force..etc..etc..shall i go on? just stfu already.

    I highly doubt there will be any flash backs.there would be no point that’s what the introduction/”crawl” is for.I’m sure if there are ewoks it will only be in a very small portion of the movie. if it is endor I really wish they would have filmed in the red woods like rtj. it just wont look the same imo. If there are ewoks I hope warwick got his wish to be in VII.

      Not that it really matters but what fan is truly naive or unimaginative enough to not realize there could be all kinds of forests in endor. Not saying that I think this will be Endor, but how much I read about the “trees” being different so it just COULDN’T be endor makes me fu***** laugh. It’s like saying a movie shot in the plains of Midwest America, and the sequel is shot in a desert, but just COULDN’T be earth since earth is covered in only plains. Just a thought.

    I suspect there will be an Ewok or two in the films, but not like an army of them… think about it this way… after the battle of Endor I bet the Ewoks might integrate with the galactic culture since they’ve already been exposed to technology…. I don’t see why they’d just stay in their little village after their new formed friendship with the rebel alliance. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Ewok played by Warwick Davis to stay friends with Leia. Might be cool to see a little cameo or something like that.

      the man said there were ALOT of spots open for little people…so i would assume that yes..there will be an army of Ewoks in the “BATTLE SCENE” they filmed there.
      it is also a fact that they did not Integrate with the Rebels culture..They remained on Endor in their villiages.Even though the ewok tv series was a joke…it is still canon, and was set after the battle of Endor.and they still lived in the tree houses.

I don’t have a vested interest either way but I don’t think episode VII production staff are sitting around talking about the Ewok tv show as binding a decision on weather or not the Ewoks integrated with Galactic culture. I mean hypothetically, imagine if you are princess leia, and you were friends with the Ewoks, would you just sort of leave and never come back?

    what Dave is trying to say what with rumors of speeder bikes, vaders burnt helmet, casting call for many little people, and shooting in a forest that resembles endor greatly. is that there is a very good possibility that endor and ewoks will be present in VII. yes it’s just speculation, but face it what he is saying is logical on what we have all read. everyone getting their jimmies rustled by what hes saying needs to calm the f#@!* down

    Is anyone really reading the updates. There will be no Ewoks in Episode 7. This is one of those “trust me” situations. Some of you will know what I mean.

      “No” as in not no ewoks in that forest scene? Or “no” as in confirmed throughout the whole movie? (like via cameos or something like that)?

      It seems like it won’t be Endor probably.

      I get ya. I’m still hoping that they get Warwick Davis to do something, though.

      Aha! So it’s Munchkins or Leprechauns then.
      Maybe Luke’s spent the last 30 years searching for a pot of gold?

      I don’t know why people believe that set is Endor? If they were filming a scene that took place on Endor it will most likely be shot in the redwood forest in the U.S.

        Or in England closer to the studio with bridges and other things to build the ewok villages off of…..

    The article you wrote doesn’t say anything about ewoks. We are all just speculating. And if you have insider information why aren’t you sharing it. This is star wars 7 “news” isn’t It?

    Hmm. Let’s see. VII begins with the stormtroopers slaughtering the entire Ewok population, who had discovered and were protecting Vader’s sacred remains. A mysterious new villain steps into frame and raises Vader’s charred helmet to the sky before MUAH HAHAHA-ing. Screen wipe.

    Cut to Luke on Tatooine. He senses a disturbance in the Force, realizing that he and the old gang are the only remaining members of the Ewok tribe. So he embarks on a quest to gather them up to seek revenge and put that nasty ol’ helmet back where it belongs.

      Just for once. What if Luke gave in to hatred?
      What if he became Darth Vader?
      Probably no one wouldve seen it comming. But at current standings it would even fit in.

            Yeah let’s really drag the OT through the mud and make Luke turn evil. May Leia and Han are not a couple anymore and Han is now a transexual and then Leia and Luke finally got together. Anyone else got inane suggestions that will ruin the OT? Step right up.

    If someone sees: sand = tatooine
    snow = hoth
    If we see shrubbery are we gonna yell naboo!
    If the pic is legit then obviously not ewok or
    Yoda country, remember what Lucas said after OT, “We Are Running Out of Environments”.
    So I would think that some new worlds will be introduced like in all the rest, but now they will be hybrid versions of old or juxstaposed thereof. Vibrant color and texture maps overlaid digitally among practical sets and uniquely scouted locations. So let’s not all jump the gun when we see gnarly trees.

    If Ewoks are anything more than a cameo then there could be trouble – Ewoks are only slightly more thought of than Gungans – the more time the Ewoks have in EP7 the more money it will lose…..

    No ewoks? Well I hope that the rumours about the Wookies are true…Lumpy! Lumpy! Lumpy!
    Stand alone Wookie movie would beat any Planet of the Apes movie at the box office…all day long.

    Hey Viral Hide,

    I have followed your site since not long after this place launched. I have a favor to ask you. It might be a tall one… but when this movie releases I was wondering if you could write a very generic piece how how generally you cultivate and verify production sources. I understand you’d need to be careful to give anything away but honestly I find this just fascinating. Do people just email you? Or did you already have these connections and then you made the site? I have a feeling an article like that would be a hit around here.

    If I were the Empire and the fuzzballs helped to wipe out one of my fleet and killed my boss, I’d shown them who is boss by wiping them out.

    If the empire’s around still, I’d say the ewoks are or almost extinct.

      I hope you realize if not for C3p0 those cute and fuzzy creatures everyone bitches about, the Ewoks, were going to devour, chew and nibble on the flesh of our hero’s, Ewoks are meat eaters.
      I just want know what happened to all the dead stoormtrooper bodies. Did the Rebels give them a proper burial? Or Ewok festival food?

    I know sw7news is kinda allergic to negativity, but this non-stop rumor involves our director and producer. I know you like to insist happily about december 2015 release (“we were right folks!”), but I care about this rumor as we are talking about filmmakers not being able to deliver the expected quality. Abrams and Kennedy seem to be doing things as right as possible, and they don’t deserve this. Guys, you should care. http://www.latino-review.com/news/star-wars-may-the-2016-be-with-you

      Read that Latino review article again and ask yourself with all of the information mentioned in that article, which is information you already know, if you could have written that very article yourself.

        Yes, I’m agree with you, in fact the article reveals nothing new, but I think it’s a major issue knowing there’s a possible conflict between Iger and the Filmmakers and that it persists. I see people here truly happy that the film keeps its release date, but I don’t see any real discuss about how the film could be affected by all this.
        The aim to delay the film comes from different causes, and we all know there has been conflicts from day 1:

        1. Disney announces 2015 release, Kennedy asks for 2016. REJECTED.

        2. Abrams on board. He demands 2016 release. REJECTED.

        3. Script conflict, Ardnt out. Abrams Kennedy ask again for 2016. Disney says Christmas 2015 (ok, that was good news).

        4. Harrison accident. Guys, it’s not a 15 days hiatus, it’s almost one month, because production had been stopped already for a week and a half right after the accident. Abrams and Kennedy asks for 2016: REJECTED.

        I’m surprised how anyone cares.

      This article is wrong. The movie is locked for a December 2015 release. Trust me on this. That’s why I didn’t post the article.

    I spent a good hour or more walking around there this morning. There were cables, generators and lighting stands yet to be carried back to the trucks. If it is meant to be Endor, it’s the ideal location for a couple of scenes. I took plenty of photos and will send them shortly.

    That dwelling looks built into the hillside like a converted cave. A perfect place for a hermit to live.
    Wonder if it’s Luke’s home where he’s led a reclusive life for the last 30 years.

    Yeah I hate to brake it to everyone but it is for Ewoks m/ Luke Skywalker lives as a hermit on the Endor moon where he trains his padawan….Wicket.

    Oh and yes I am looking forward to a 3rd Death Star in Episode 7 m/

    I could see this as Yavin 4. Didn’t Luke start the new jedi temple there? Maybe it’s not canon anymore but, I could see it.

    As far as little people, maybe it’s younglings.
