UPDATE! Fake: A Photo Leak of All Star Wars Movies Slated Through 2020.

Star WarsIndie Revolver posted, what appears to be a leaked photo with the full slate of Star Wars movies scheduled for release until 2020. The photo was probably meant to be revealed during the Lucasfilm’s panel on Friday at SDCC, and could be considered spoilerific, so proceed at your own risk…

 

 

From Indie Revolver:

 

In advance of Friday’s Hall H presentation a VERY legitimate looking rundown of Star Wars slate of films has popped up on Imgur.

The image is said to have been taken at Dianey/Lucasfilm’s rundown for their Hall H presentation at SDCC.

 

Photo

 

It’s strange that the Anthology Han Solo movie that was officially announced yesterday, here is called Boba Fett/Han Solo. Also if this is legit, it appears that the third stand-alone movie in not an Anthology one. It’s sub-titled “The Balance of the Force”. This is quite interesting and a Kenobi movie always made the most sense to me, with Ewan McGregor still around in his best years.

 

Also considering that Han Solo is scheduled for a 2018 release, the list of movies appears to be in clockwise order.

 

 

If fake, the photo is really really very well made. I checked the level of grain used on the screen and the hall and it’s the same. It does look legit. And now it appears that the image has been removed from Imgur…

 

 

 

UPDATE!

 

The guys from the BobaFettFanClub did some impressive detective work, debunking the image:

I really hope that Disney payed close attention to the fans’ reaction at the Kenobi movie news. This movie has to happen. This is what all the fans want. I personally feel very disappointed that this image is fake. It was perfectly done. The guy who did this, please contact me, I want to shake your hand. 🙂

      Yeah its a bit fishy, we hear officially about the Solo film and then someone says well lets put together a picture that looks legitimate and contains all of the information we already know and just a tiny bit more that people want!

      That said, I love the idea of a Kenobi film starring Ewan McGregor and really hope this is a 100% legitimate photo.

        Agree. I would love to see an Ewan McGregor Obi Wan movie…. but McGregor has prequel trilogy connections. Thus, Disney wants nothing to do with it, because remember, they only cater to the OT star wars fans these days.

          I disagree with that reasoning. Most of the Prequel “haters” always point to McGreggor as the one shining point. There is a lot of respect for him as Kenobi.

            Nothing wrong with being a prequel fan. All the hate for the prequels is misguided.

            That said… I would NOT be in favor of a Kenobi movie. The book wasn’t that great, and in a movie… what story are they going to tell? They’d have to shoehorn something in to make it look like he was doing something that affected the greater storyline while he was in seclusion, which would be pretty tough.

        You sound so lonely. Fact is, Disney’s been shifting a lot of their focus in Marvel and Lucasfilm to more mature audiences.

        The PT was kiddie stuff at best. Sub par at worst. As a kid, I thought they were cool. Now… meh… maybe when I have kids they’ll like them.

        So, keep masturbating to your PT but don’t expect a lot of it in the future films. Disney already makes tons of kiddie movies, it doesn’t need to add Star Wars to the list.

    What really gets me is the order of the movies… the first row is in chronological order from left to right, but the new Han Solo movie is slated for 2018, which is right after Episode VIII. It seems odd that they would choose to display the movies either out of order or in clockwise order. It could just be me, but it’d make more sense to have the Solo Anthology film be bottom left, then Episode IX, followed by Kenobi in the bottom right.

    I think I’m going with shenanigans on this one, too.

    • July 8, 2015 at 3:38 pm

      Maybe the 2018 date for Solo film as reported in the other article is inaccurate? To me it makes sense that whatever project Trank was working on is next after Rogue One seeing as how it’s already underway. And it was said that that project is still ongoing and is not the same as the Solo movie.

      If this is legit, it could be an earlier version. From before they made final decisions. After this they decided that Solo eill be released in 2018 and announced it.

      So I’m betting they will present this at SDCC, but with Kenobi and Solo having switched places.

    Here’s how you do a Young Han movie. Make it a computer-animated film a la “The Adventures of Tintin” and have Harrison Ford provide the voice. It would be awesome, and you wouldn’t have to worry about casting.

    • July 8, 2015 at 5:19 pm
      Permalink

      If it’s a young Solo, I don’t think Harrison could pull it off. He sounds to gruff now I think to even voice an OT timeline Solo, especially an even younger version. Rebels is pushing it with Lando and Vader, but I think overall they did a good job and I love having the original actors doing the voices. However, I feel differently about Ford. He sounds a lot different now than he did in ’77. And I don’t think he’s ever done any voice work … so I’d be surpised if they went that route.

    Lots off on this, I think:
    1) Solo film is for sure a May 2018 release, that was stated in the press release yesterday. Why list these counter clockwise? When they did the same “chart” (for lack of a better term) for the Marvel releases, there were dates there, and they weren’t in odd order
    2) I suppose it isn’t a stretch that Fett is added to the Solo movie, although it wasn’t announced yesterday. Kasdan was vocal early on in the process about how he wanted to do away with Lucas’ Prequel Clone Baby Fett and have someone steal his uniform. It seems odd he would have even commented on this if he wasn’t in some way involved with writing a Fett film.
    3) Why doesn’t the Kenobi film say “Anthology” as well? Clearly it is one, right?

    • July 8, 2015 at 4:57 pm
      Permalink

      Sorry, but with Disney/LFL making an official declaration of all 6 SW films being canon and The Clone Wars and Rebels TV shows being canon as well, your 2nd point (the redoing of Boba Fett as someone stealing his uniform) seems unlikely. It’s also printed in the book “Ultimate Star Wars” – an official SW encyclopedia of all SW canon material that came out this past May (sanction by Disney/LFL) – what Fett’s backstory is based on the movies and TCW so this idea of re-imagining Fett during the times of the 6 SW movies needs to go out the window and out of people’s heads (though the idea of someone stealing his uniform after Ep. 6 after getting out of the Sarlacc Pit is fair game).

    -the screen on the supposted leak is WAY too small in comparison to the screen in hall h.
    The position of the screen on the “leak” is too low. In hall H the screen in 2 meters higher.

    furthermore, it seems like someone tried (in a very fanboyish way) to put all the rumors on anthology films in one picture, hence we have kenobi, solo and fett.

    If this is real, the subtitle on the Kenobi film could make sense if there is a Kenobi trilogy planned. Each film could be titled Star Wars: Kenobi with a subtitle. This would obviously differentiate them from the anthology films which thus far appear to be standalone features.

      If there is a Kenobi Trilogy planned, Disney could put one out every six-film cycle. For example:

      Kenobi 1 (2020 – Ewan, age 48 in 2019 while filming)
      Kenobi 2 (2024 – Ewan, age 52)
      Kenobi 3 (2032 – Ewan, age 60 and looking and moving about like 62-year old Sir Alec Guinness did back in 1976!) 😀

    I think that in all this anthology films Disney should introduce this movies therebetween of each trilogy and centered on villains.
    So the first anthology movie should be before “TPM” than explained the sith wars with Palpatine and Plagueis.
    The second anthology film, that is already on production (ROGUE ONE), after “ROTS” and centered on the war and on the character of Tarkin.
    And finally the third anthology movie located after the events of “ROTJ”, centered on the character of Boba Fett, how scaped the Sarlaac and chased Han Solo in a Clint Eastwood´s Unforgiven Star Wars movie style. This third movie centered on Boba and Han will serve to join the OT and the ST.

    There is no sense in making a story of Han and Fett before ANH.

    And there is only one Han Solo and is Harrison Ford!

      This sounds far more interesting than a Solo or Kenobi movie. I see there’s a lot of praise for Ewan’s Kenobi, but in all honesty I find his Kenobi boring and the over-the-top accent silly. Obviously I’m in a minority, so I’ll call a taxi (oops, cab).

        The prequels did have the best writing around. I mean the story was great without flaws. The casting was perfect. Everything was absolute GOLD. Best movies in the universe. They even teach the prequels in colleges around the world. You can even get a degree in movie making by studying the perfection that is StarWars I, II and III. Nobody watched any of them and had feelings of disappointment because they were mediocre crap films at all.

      Hey, I didn’t even really like the PT films and I’d love to see Ewan in a Kenobi film.

      In ANH when they go into Mos Eisley, it’s pretty obvious that old Ben has been there before. He knows what a rough town it is, he knows specifically how dangerous that particular cantina is, and he also knows that it’s the best place for them to find a good freighter pilot to hire.

      As far as I’m concerned there’s plenty of room in the story to have him go off-planet for something during his time on Tatooine. In fact, given all the trinkets on the walls of his home in ANH, it looks like he’s done a lot more than to just sit there in the desert biding time and squeezing blackheads.

      I think there’s definitely a story or two to be told there.

        If this site wants to regain my trust (as well as the trust of many other true Star Wars fans who aren’t perusing on this site and spreading hate), then the leaders of SW7N (which I believe is either Viral hide or Pomojema) would be wise to let go of DEKKA129 as an official site moderator and publisher so that he cannot have a platform to spread hate from anymore.

          I think it is important that there are staff that represent the fans. There are a lot of fans who dislike the prequels. Whats wrong with holding that opinion? Absolutely nothing. You may not like it, and you are free to say so, but your thought policing needn’t dictate this site’s staffing or question their love of Star Wars. Prequel Hater Haters need to get over their self righteousness just as much as you say the Prequel Haters do.

            What’s wrong with that opinion? How about the fact that most negative opinions are based on Gen X’ers (and older) having misguided feelings of nostalgia. It’s also gotten to the point that many opinions of PT haters/bashers have become meritless and also because have been jumping on the PT hating/bashing bandwagon because somehow, that’s the popular thing to do nowadays instead of thinking for themselves.

            There’s also the fact that most PT haters/bashers like to express and call their negative opinions as facts and like to force their negative views onto others (plus, making fans who do like the PT feel bad for liking them). Yeah, all of this is what is wrong with them.

            So opinions that differ from yours just make you angry and have no merit? Got it.

            There are perfectly legitimate arguments against the Prequels. Denying that makes you look like an idiot. You don’t have to agree and you don’t have to like it, but that’s reality. Luckily, no one’s opinion is harming you in any way.

            Of course, no movie is perfect and all movies have flaws, the PT and even the OT. That doesn’t mean that they should be outright declared as bad movies. Yes, the OT had some things on them that seem a bit off too but that doesn’t mean I should automatically think that they’re bad movies (just like it shouldn’t be the case for the PT as well). Yet, you still have fans that, despite them knowing the OT had flaws too, they still like and are completely hating on the PT for having flaws and acting like the OT didn’t (instead of giving the PT equal treatment like they did to the OT). This is the misguided feeling of nostalgia thing I’m referring to.

            Just as you state the opposite, there are perfectly legitimate arguments for the Prequels as well. And yeah, that’s my opinion (as well as others’ too), and I’ll defend it too just like others will.

            I’m not saying that one shouldn’t form opinions about things they see (on certain elements they see and whatnot), that’s ok. It’s the downright PT hating/bashing that’s just gotten out control as how I’ve stated in my previous post.

            well PT was crap because of 2 main flaws

            It was a told story
            and
            the transformation from anakin to Darth Vader was to late in the trilogy to make it interesting.

            There were NONE surprises what so ever.

            Besides all OT fans had there own theory of what would happen in PT. I did missed mandalorians and jabba the hutt I thought he would play a bigger part in the story

            What you stated is still opinions, but at least you’re not downright hating on the PT (it’s ok to like both and like the OT more than the PT as lonk as you’re not downright hating on the PT) since the PT was made during our generation’s time (we were unfortunately not born yet to see the OT in theaters).

            I do hope however, that 1) you’re not one of those pretentious Millennial hipsters that thinks he’s better than everyone else around his/her age and acts like he/she knows more about art than anyone else and/or 2) you’re just lying about being a Millennial and you’re actually an Gen X’er or older.

            I like the OT better, but the PT DOES have some aspects that are better than the OT.

            PT’s graphics are quite well done [however the lighting on interiors totally blow the illusion], the lighsaber duels are more sophisticated [however lack real motivation / emotion] the choreography itself is quite good.
            Also George Lucas really did take a ballsy risk in specifically making the PT more or less the events of the OT played in reverse. The Phantom Menace really is ROTJ’s nega-twin, George put A LOT of thought into the scripts’ composition theory.

            However, the films are just not that entertaining. As a study on film making, there are a lot of interesting aspects, but a something you’d actually want to WATCH in your underwear with a bowl of doritos? NO, not for me anyway.

            All of the things they did right in the PT will just not account for the amount of personality that is present in the OT.

            PT’s like the well tamed, well groomed poodle that tries to teach you political ethics.

            The OT is more like a dirty old mutt you found off the street that will tear apart pillows AND burglars.

            OT is just more watchable, because it put what little quality it had on the aspects that mattered.

        The only thing all that indicates is that Old Ben has been spending a lot of time ON TATOOINE among the riff raff of Mos Eisley. Boring. Again we have had six movies and the entire Clone Wars series that have dealt with Kenobi. There are other lesser known characters with far more interesting questions about them yet to be answered.

      Yeah, I’m Scottish so I should love Ewan Macgregor, and I do in Trainspotting and a few other things, but as Obi Wan I thought he was horrible. I do think most of that is down to the awful script, his awful styling, and the amount of soulless blue screen work he had to do, when he was a Star Wars fan like the rest of us and must have thought that getting the Star Wars gig would at least have been fun if not Oscar worthy films.

      I hope with the right story, he could find the true Obi Wan performance I feel he never gave. I also realised recently just how poorly it was done in the Prequels. In Ep.3 Obi Wan looks, what, 40 years old, at most, and then cut about 18 years later (going by Luke’s age) and he’s 70/80 year old!? Doesn’t make sense visually when you look at them.

      Fingers crossed an Obi Wan story could bring something to Star Wars, some magic, about the force and perhaps him learning the force ghost stuff from Yoda. Would be cool.

        For crying out loud. It’s a Star Wars forum, we can discuss our opinions about Star Wars, whether you like them or not, and it so happens that since Obi Wan is a character from the prequels, and the OT, it’s perfectly reasonable for someone to make their viewpoint known about how Obi Wan, to them, fits in to those films.

        You’re about as fun as the Third Reich at a Bar mitzvah. Please stop railing on people for merely presenting their viewpoint, you come across like some entitled 10 year old.

      Totally agree with the idea that Ewan deserves a really good story and directing that does justice to his acting abilities.
