    I loved the way TFA ended. Ahch-To (spelling?) was such a breathtakingly beautiful setting for the finale. Can’t wait to see more Skellig Michael in a year and a half!

      Know what you mean. Now seen it 5 times, can’t get through the ending without my eyes welling up.

    The best planet in the film if only because it was the only truly original planetary terrain but at least we know for sure it’s in the sequel and won’t get cut out. They need to make it more Star Wars-esque though if we see more of it which I hope they do inside of Luke’s hut or whatever that thing was he’s living in.

      Not sure what Star Wars-esque really means as almost anything can be with a Universe of sooo many planets.

        Even in The Clone Wars we got new planets and terrain in nearly every episode. They aren’t very difficult to imagine with writers who have imagination and aren’t in it for the paycheck.

          Yes, but they get hell for them looking too CG.

            Not III but the actual series. Filoni should have been a consultant if he wasn’t neck deep in Rebels.

    “Locals reported seeing what looked like a classic trilogy X-Wing being transported to the island” 😉

    The part of the news we’re hearing today is that preservationist have managed to stop any further filming on The Skellig and that any further filming will be done at Pinewood on Replica sets

    someone needs to tell the marketing department that not all videos need to be under 2 minutes, especially when there is a core audience associated with the product…. This one was better than that terrible Imax promo but still not great.

    Are there puffins in the Star Wars universe?

    But it’s the amount of ticket sold not the gross amount of box office. You add in inflation to the cost of todays ticket price to what they were when the original Star Wars back in 1977, then you could go see that movie 7 times with out going broke.

    Disney did not get that kind of business with more people coming to see their movie for less money is my point.

    Start with page 3 and go from there on.
