Rumor: Which Actors are Coming to Dubrovnik?

DubrovnikThere’s a new rumor floating around about which actors might attend the upcoming filming in Dubrovnik for Star Wars: Episode VIII. Read on for the details…

 

Moscroatia.com posted an article a few days ago, when they inspected the filming location in Dubrovnik, in a Darth Vader costume.

Now they revealed some bits that they supposedly heard around the set.

As usual take this with a grain of salt. Here’s what they got:

At last we unofficially know who will participate on the set in Dubrovnik. With exceptional pleasure we announce that actors probably are – Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) and Daisy Ridley (Rey)! It is this (father-daughter?) pair that should come to the set we have visited and presented in our own exclusive photo gallery.

This is not the first time we hear the rumor that this set could be connected to the planet we saw Luke and Rey on (Ahch-to).

We have already speculated that Dubrovnik will be the planet where Luke Skywalker is, and now we (unofficially) have this confirmed by sources close to the production.

In the meantime here are the latest photos from Dubrovnik. Those lights could become quite handy during a night shoot.

I hope R2 doesn’t have to reach that panel.

    I love those funky neon doorways. I wonder what planet these scenes will be on?
    Maybe Naboo? Personally I hope it’s a new never before seen planet. Maybe a
    planet were Lando has set up shop? = )

    Love the look of that planet. I feel like we see a lot of cities and wastelands, but not too many smaller towns. I’m pretty sure that unlike Yoda who stayed on dagobah, luke will not stay on Ach-To. He will likely train Rey more actively at her side. As for darth vader…its likely another force flashback, its such a useful device I don’t see them using it once and never again.

    Saw a picture on instagram. Said the title for Episode VIII would be “Tale of the Jedi Temple” What do you guys think? Not sure how reliable
    that picture was.

      that’s not a star warsish name and a director like Rian Johnson wouldn’t have worked on a movie with that name

      Might be some truth in those rumours if Dubrovnik is Lothal and the films are linking with Rebels.

      Consider they have an app where you can make your own SW title print and post it to a board I wouldn’t trust it. I’m still hoping for Rise of the Knights since Kylo is a Knight of Ren and Rey a soon to be Jedi Knight

      It’s not a Star Wars movie title at all. Absolutely guaranteed it’s not. “Episode VIII: Assault on Atchoo’ however…

        I think Assault would be a good word to have in one of the titles.

      It’s more likely to be Episode 8: Space Bear than that.

      Ep. VIII “The mom forgiveness”…
      Ep VII was about dads, I believe Ep VIII must be about moms, Ep IX about the offspring.

    Anyone have a good explanation as to why Luke went from synth-flesh in ESB to fully-T800 Terminator / Anakin Ep. 2? Curious as to why he wouldn’t at the very least rock the glove + gauntlet like his pops from Ep. III…bit gratuitous for the CG stuff to have the robot hand

    • March 1, 2016 at 7:32 pm
      Permalink

      I think it is made to emphasize he isn’t taking care of himself, or just doesn’t care about his appearance. This was shown in the “force flashback” scene as well. Gratuitous? Only if they keep zooming in on it or something like that.

      I love the raw mech hand, looks so cool!

      There are are a few possibilities:

      1.) I assume the fake skin wasn’t as durable and just kinda wore away after a decade or two from neglect and luke was too detached / broken to bother fixing it

      2.) Luke lost or broke his hand in his off-screen adventures and got a less pretty replacement for durability or cost reasons

      3.) Mechanical hands probably need regular replacement & adjustment like with real artificial limbs. Perhaps luke for more spiritual reasons decided to get the more robotic version to remind him of his humanity or to never be like his father or some existential whatever

      4.) J.J. Thought cyborgs look cool

          Luke has become the Fullmetal Jedi, dedicated to equivalent exchange between the light and dark sides of the force.

      He wasn’t able to replace it and the fake skin just wore away. Maybe he then decided that keeping his hand clearly cybernetic would be a good reminder of what he could become

      I think it all started when the first part of the skin came off in Return of the Jedi. He fought for the next 32 years and gradually the skin came off, till none was left

      Dumb idea, I like the look but it’s been done before in II. Also the synthflesh helps makes things more tactile to the touch which is pretty much mandatory when using and such. Not like he couldn’t find a glove either.

      It was because the Latex Crisis in 23ABY.
      No gloves, no toys, no condoms… a disaster, a baby boom in the galaxy.
      Vatican was so happy for it.

      It’s likely that the Synth-flesh is only temporary and needs to be replaced every once and a while otherwise it’ll deteriorate. Being on a planet by yourselff or decades means you won’t be able to easily get it replaced.

    Rumors are worthless. These guys just heard on the street that Luke and Rey will be in these scenes? Well, I heard from someone on the streets of Des Moines that Yoda would be running a bakery on Moraband. Must be true!

        I stay away from Reddit. I really don’t want to be spoiled on these movies. This is really the only Star Wars website I visit because they tend to do a really good job of warning you about potential spoilers.

          Star Wars Leaks usually does too. They put a big spoiler flag under each of their potential spoiler threads.

    I don’t get the joke in “I hope R2 doesn’t have to reach that panel”; If Luke and Rey are there, then obviously Chewie and R2, who traveled with Rey, should be with them and the panels would be used by R2

          Other set pictures the ones in this post don’t really show it. but they are sititing about r2 d2’s eye level. Maybe with newer droid models they changed where access terminals are

    After watching those photos from Dubrovnik with the doors and panels with the lights on, i thought in 2 options:
    Could be Lothal from SW Rebels? Streets and entrances seems so familiar.
    Or Akiva, from Aftermath novel? I have similar images in my head after reading it.

    • March 1, 2016 at 9:50 pm

      It does have the look of Lothal and with those rumours of VIII title maybe Luke and Rey are coming to Lothal’s Jedi Temple…

    If its Ach-To, I thought the world was desolate which is why Luke escaped to this area? Suddenly there are cities being discovered. I’m confused and this is exactly what the filmmakers want anyway during the development process.

      It could be a deserted island on a populated planet. After all, it is possible to hide here on Earth.

      it could also be a totally different planet that they travel to.

    The more we talk about Rey and Luke in that last scene the more I find myself building hype back up. It had kind of calmed for a bit since the whole Star Wars roller coaster eased up a little. Yet when I think of what might be… it easily starts making the climb for another thrill.

    Also that rainy look really adds to the door lights. Wonder if they’ll use the damp look in the movie.

        It´s the flux of the force around them, not shampoo and hairspray.
