Collider’s Jedi Council: Episode 17
On a stacked episode of Collider Jedi Council, Kristian, John and Mark are back talking all things Star Wars. Today the guys talk about the Star Wars Comic Con panel, behind the scene featurette and whether or not Colin Trevorrow would be a good fit to helm Episode 9. From there the council talks about D23 honoring George Lucas, a new Chewbacca comic book and the story for Aftermath is revealed…
Don’t forget to send your questions on Twitter to @kristianharloff. Keep in mind that the show now has a new hashtag – #ColliderJediCouncil.

I used to follow Kristian Harloff on twitter for a while because he actually knows what he is talking about when it comes to Star Wars but soon learned his really insufferable in almost every other aspect, especially on Parascope. That app is literally the downfall of civilization.
What a nice thing to say! Thanks man! -Kristian
Oh crap! He reads these comments?!! <8O
Movie idea: Star Wars spin off film with a young Han Solo. What do you guys think? I think it would be boss
at the rate we’re receiving news about practical effects, I”m expecting to see an anthology film about Baba Joe.
If that damned puppet appears again at D23 I think I’m going to light it on fire.
I foresee a new war taking place among the fandom, between the practicals and impracticals.
I just hope we get that obi wan spin off
Any news on TFA? C’mon man, I’m dying over here for more TFA-related news. Stupid JJ and LFL/Disney and their over-the-top and ridiculous (yes, it’s gotten to that point right about now) sense of secrecy. The general public needs something of substance story-wise about this movies (i.e. opening crawl, synopsis, etc) besides hearing all this talk about practical effects ad nauseum (which has been beaten to death already; the general public couldn’t care less what effects are being used as long as the movie looks good and the story is good.
Its frustrating I know, but it will be amazing to be suprised in dec, we know bits but not alot, also the practical effects thing has been rammed home alot but atleast JJ is doing all he can to produce a quality film close to what started it all, the PT is ok, I accept it and tolorate it but it was too shiny and the cgi takes all the heart out, some is ok but the PT was too much.
I’ve had it up to my ears with practical effects.
Meeza no like practical efffffgffffffffwwwwwwwwwewewwwkkkkkkkkkkkksssssshhhhhhhhhhh
I’d rather be rammed with practical effects than CGI.
Wait- ^_-
I was thinking about 1980’s ESB Practical Effects with the Snowspeeders, X-Wings, AT-AT walkers, asteroid mine-field, Bespin cloud city scenes and robotics! I know the younger generation missed it but George Lucas still owns Industrial Light and Magic for that next super high quality movie experience that would be too jerky in movements!
SPOILER TO TFA (from what you’ve seen and have not put together): BEWARE! DON’T READ AND BLAME ME IF YOU WANT TO SEE SURPRISE TWIST!
Luke Skywalker “practical effects scene” in Yoda’s training cave of ESB gave the J.J. Abrams clue that Luke Skywalker is the new Darth or Kylo Ren and Adam Driver is his apprentice (whose sister is Rey) but it will be Luke as new Darth Plagius? WHAT DO YOU THINK!?
I think JJ is scared, you are right this is not the D Day landings a little info goes a long way.
Baba Joe= the next Jar Jar Binks.
Good stuff again this week. Love the Schmoes and all that they do. Never really been a fan of John Campea though. Dude is way too negative on just about every topic that gets discussed. Its Star Wars man, have some fun! Wish they could bring back Maude or get someone who isn’t such a drag to listen to week after week.
Campea is horrible and he was gone for a little bit so I started watching it again. Now he’s back I refuse to watch anything he is associated with. That whole transition from AMC to Collider was a joke on the fans. They should have been honest with people instead of Came a saying an incident occurred and he can not be apart of AMC anymore. But their still a sponser of Collider soooooo? Last show of AMC they were a bunch of goofball and said they were taking rest of week off for 4th of July holiday. They come back week later with everything painted green. Seriously.
I 2nd the Maude thing, why hasn’t she been on? I like Campea though, it’s nice to hear the curmudgeon speak… though I was shocked to hear he was not into the comicon reel.
She works for another website now.
I love Jedi Council and really value the opinions ( mostly ) on these three council members. Guest star-wise I wonder it would be possible to invite Hello Greedo, or some other big SW youtubers onto the show for an episode or two.
Spin off-wise, I’m not really feeling a lot of these new SW comics, I suspect the stories may be insubstantial and that it probably takes only 5minutes to get through an issue.
I much preferred the old Marvel Star Wars comics.
Form reading and watching the video discussing what happened it all happened very quickly for these guys. Here is a link with explanation: http://collider.com/amc-movie-talk-is-now-collider-movie-talk/
Random theory that just popped into my head: I’m thinking about what causes Kylo Ren to go masked… what if Luke or some other Jedi force pulls a flame trooper’s gun to crisp up Ren’s face?
Nah, it’s a good theory but the whole thing about a force-sensative-guy-getting-crispy-by-fire sounds a whole lot like Anakin on Mustafar… And remember, Lucasfilm is allergic to the prequels, remember?
Flame throwers, now that’s an ancient weapon.
No match for a good blaster at your side.
Try to block THAT, lighsaber!
Its a fact storm troopers fight better in bad weather, just don’t point your flame gun into the wind.
You learn this at an early age.
Debbie downer doesnt like the Star Wars footage?? What a surprise, I teared up at a few points, love it. =)
I like the idea of Ahsoka turning to the Dark Side after all she’s been through. It would makes Luke’s resistance of it all the more heroic in the end.
I’ll bet that Stormtrooper escorting Poe to jail is really Daniel Craig (who’s 5-10 and stocky) and that’s why they showed that scene.
It would be just like JJ to have his little in-joke!
How could anyone think Colin trevorrow would be a good choice. Jurassic World made alotta money, yes. But so did transformers 4. That movie proved he would do everything wrong with Star Wars. He’s not a guy to take on a franchise. Boring and hacky choice. I don’t believe it anyway.
After being blown away by that new Revenant teaser, I would love
Alejandro González Iñárritu to do IX.
How do all three of these guys not know who Lobot is?!!
Credibility…DENIED!
I thought that as well…….it’s LOBOT, it’s LOBOT I was yelling ……LOL. I enjoy their show, they each have their take on things, John brings a balance to the more upbeat Kristian and Mark. I do miss Maude though.
I’m very concerned over the other directors. Very hit or miss. Jurassic World being a perfect example of something on paper being great… but lacking in execution… primarily the ending.
I agree that Chris is always super negative about things. But Kristian and mark totally make up for him. Love the show, look forward to it every Friday.
Who’s Chris?
You don’t know who Chris is! I presume you watch the show?
You mean Kris? 🙂
Sorry! I was being flippant.
I’m a big fan of Jedi Council and I’ve never seen a Chris on the panel.
Sounds like John Campea (negative guy) is being confused with Kristian Harloff.
There’s no Chris. But there is Kristian Harloff. Do YOU watch the show??
Any one agree, this whole secrecy affair JJ’s got going is way over the top, give us something so we can have a decent discussion, it’s getting a bit boring going over the same ground time and again.
what, you don’t like it when Disney repeatedly tries to convince us how the world is good again all because of….. you guessed it, practical effects.
You guys are one of the reasons spoilers are always leaked. Why must webhave this impatient, millennial, adhd impatience on everything. Spoilers ruin everything, and take the surprise out of the story. With the prequels I didn’t care.cause I knew where this.was all going. Anie becomes vader,everything else was just there. But this is an original story, that we’ve been waiting for 30 years to get. Why ruin it.
Good thing about Star Wars movies is, you never see the shitty US flag in those.
Unlike all the propaganda flicks Hollywood spams the world with.
It’s not quite as good as the Union Jack, but the U.S. Flag is a design classic…
It’s time for the Lars family to take the confederate flag off the top of their homestead. Damn insensitive rednecks. Don’t they know their nephew has a black father?? Smh. #takeitdown
I hated when Chris Hardwick said “I watched this last night and I cried”, right before they played the BTS reel. He set everybody’s expectations up too high. He put too much pressure on all of us to cry. And everyone who didn’t cry felt like an a**hole. Thanks Chris for ruining it. Don’t give us your opinion until AFTER we see it, dude. This ain’t Talking Dead where everybody’s already seen it, bro. Nobody wants to hear how you feel BEFORE we see it. You spoiled it, you ruined it. That’s always gonna stay in the back of my mind.
P.S. I don’t give a crap if Daniel Craig was in the movie or not! Stop it!
“And everyone who didn’t cry felt like an a**hole.”
I read this just now and I LOLed.
Hey. At least I didn’t spoil it. 😉
It is okay for you to not cry. We all have our weakneses.
XD
For me that show is useless. I stick with this site and makingstarwars.net
Hey Viral, I hope it’s ok if I contact you here because I don’t have twitter account. There seems to be a problem with getting to the Cantina. Could you or someone else on the staff check it out?
The Cantina works fine right now. Are you trying to access it through a mobile phone?
https://thecantina.starwarsnewsnet.com/index.php
Woops, I accidentally reported you comment.
Nevermind, it’s fine now. Just a security problem on my phone.
Did you guys leave AMC?
I cannot stand John Campea..lol. the whole…I would rather watch UFC than hang out with three thousand lightsaber wielding star wars fans watching fireworks as a real symphony plays star wars music, had me cracking up…what an arrogant tool.
his comment about the Empire not having ranked General’s cracked me up…cmon man…wtf is this guy doing on this show?…and BTW….Lando’s “buddy’s ” name is LOBOT…..huge fan of this show, but not this episode…anytime Campea talks, to me it sounds like friggin 100 fingernails scratching a chalk board. I feel like chewy in the holding cell in Cloud City when he is being tortured.
Amen. And it kinda sucks because I really like Kristian and Mark so I want to support them, but I can’t take Campea.
Can I ask, is Maude Garrett of the Council now? She just seems to have disappeared and they never say she is away or anything? It is like she never existed…
