Star Wars Weekly Social Buzz! Daisy Ridley not Part of the Dubrovnik Shoot. Snoke is not Sith and More!

Rey

In this weeks social recap we have more interesting posts by Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Pablo Hidalgo and more. Check them out…

 

First here’s some interesting tidbits from BBC’s Lizo Mzimba who interviewed Daisy Ridley. Daisy will not be part of the Dubrovnik shoot as rumored before:

 

 

Also here’s another minor character that will appear in Episode VIII:

 


Next is this post by Pablo Hidalgo on Twitter. We are all anxious to find out want the title for Episode VIII will be, but we have to remember that the title for TFA was revealed in September. So if the promo campaign is similar, we should be still very far from such reveal.

 

 

Not sure how many of you are familiar, but in the last few weeks there were several reports with potential titles for Episode VIII. We intentionally didn’t report those since they are all fake. So, no. Episode VIII will not be called “Tale of the Jedi Temple” or “The Order of the Dark Side”. These are just fans’ fabrications. We’ve checked this info and we are pretty confident that these are not legit.

 

The next tweet by Hidalgo is also interesting, especially for the people who thought that Snoke is a Sith lord:

 

No sith

That’s another nail in the “Snoke is Plagueis” coffin. 🙂

 

Another interesting post by Pablo:

 

 

 

Next stop is one innocent statement by Mark Hamill that was immediately turned into a news story by a few tabloids. You probably remember that a few days ago we reported Mark Hamill’s visit at Cambridge University in the UK (HERE). During the interview he said:

Daisy is incredible, so genuine, appealing, lovable, she beams. She has a wonderful charisma, I adore her. She’s my daughter’s age – and that’s how I relate to her.

 

Some people read too much into this and thought that Hamill has just revealed a huge spoiler. Here’s Mark’s comment on this:

 

 

Complete honesty or damage control? You be the judge.

 

Next is Daisy Ridley. A few days ago Daisy hinted that she is going to record a song with an unnamed person, who is a massive superstar. Now she revealed on Instagram who that person is:

 


That’s right. Daisy has just done a duet with Barbra Streisand! #Talents

 

Also here’s Daisy backstage at the Oscars:

 


It suits her, right? #Soon

 

Also it appears that Daisy thinks Finn is Force sensitive. 

 

 

Another interview with Daisy, discussing her collaboration with Episode VIII director Rian Johnson:

 

 

 

John Boyega is in the gym again:

 

 

And he has a simple wish like we all do. Here’s Boyega’s brief exchange with EA about a single player campaign for Star Wars: Battlefront:

 

Tweet

 

Here are two of the more interesting script excerpts that Peter Mayhew posted this week.

 

 

 

I am sure we’re missing some posts, but this will have to do for this week.

    Minor correction: The Force Awakens title was revealed in early November 2014, right after filming finished.

      but probably they knew the name before they released it, I doubt they released the name right after they decide it.

        Oh, I know, but the article says the title was “revealed” in September, when it was in fact revealed two months later.

    The problem with ‘leaked’ titles is that even if true it will force the title to be changed for the reveal. Smoke being a Sith or not isn’t a concern for me, it was a dark side cult that rose in power, by the very nature of the dark side there will be others.

    Daisy’s quote that “we all have force within us” seems to dismiss that there is anything special about Finn.

      Right, I wouldn’t read very far into the comment at all, it’s just her own misunderstanding that someone has to be force sensitive to use a lightsaber. Even if whatever ability they have to use the force is incredibly weak.

  • March 4, 2016 at 7:50 pm
    Permalink

    The title will have First Order or Order in it though I bet. The Sith comment isn’t relevant to Plagueis believers since they can just say he no longer is one now ala Darth Maul. I really hope they explain what he and Kylo are in this one now and why he didn’t take the title after patterning his life off Vader. I’d much rather they be part of a new sect than some generic darksiders of which there are probably hundreds in both the new and old EU. The films villains should always be something special in that regard.

    • March 4, 2016 at 8:37 pm
      Permalink

      I don’t believe he is Plagueis (though there is still a VERY slim chance), but I still believe that it isn’t relevant that Snoke isn’t a Sith. Even before TFA came out many assumed he wouldn’t be a Sith any longer and started a new order.

      • March 5, 2016 at 3:12 pm
        Permalink

        Well, That’s what I mean though I can see how it could be misread. I don’t really want the Sith back since it makes I-VI pointless but at the same time what made them so interesting was their eons long history of dark side knowledge and respources which is more frightening than some dark side noobs into cosplay and Imperial fandom. Another reason why I don’t care for The First Order since it’s basically to The Empire what the Arayan Brotherhood is to The Third Reich.

      I wonder why they want Boyega to be so pumped for Episode VIII. What kind of physical scenes is he expected to do that cannot be done with CGI anyway ?

    Plaguesis stopped being a Sith when he disavowed the rule of two. So they are going to have Snoke come out of nowhere without any precedent from the other movies? That’s lame. Either way I bet Star Wars is going to devolve into a whiny SJW jerk off fest either way.

    • March 4, 2016 at 9:16 pm

      Sadly, too many SJW’s have overtaken Hollywood in recent years (mostly for the sake of being PC). I’m al for diversity and whatnot but like the old saying “too much of a good thing is a bad thing”, yeah, SJW’s have passed that threshold.

          1. I stated that I’m all for diversity.

          2. Anyone trying to rebut me, especially with how you just tried to do, is actually masking the fact that they really are an SJW. You might try to come back and try your best to deny it, but you’re really just going to be digging yourself into a deeper hole no matter what you say in trying to defend the trend.

    Well of course he’s NOT a Sith! At this point, they’ve thrown in so many references where Snoke mentions the advantage of Kylo Ren being grounded in the dark & the light – in the film, the visual dictionary, the new canon novels. Snoke (once more for the cheap seats) represents the LARGER, holistic DARK SIDE; by comparison, the Sith are merely adherents to a doctrine that swims within these larger confines…

            Well, I did study Krav Maga once upon a time, and thanks to some bad mangling, I now shake hands like Lamar from ‘Revenge of the Nerds’…

            THAT notwithstanding, I wouldn’t use the dark side to perm damage / kill. Since I’m an ornery wee bugger, I tend to think I’d save it to parse out in 2-3 second bursts for droning ‘go-getters’ at work who schedule meetings after 15:00 on Fridays, or even that snarky hipster barista with the ironic t-shirt and/or eyewear and/or facial hair, and so on…here’s how I see it going down:

            Me: ‘Um, yeah…just a large coffee would be cool. Thanks!’
            Snarky Hipster Barista: (Eye-rolls)
            Me: ‘So…um. Ya got that, aye, laddie…..?’
            Snarky Hipster Barista: (world-weary exhale)

            (Awkward silence – 5 seconds)

            Snarky Hipster Barista: ‘You mean… a VENTI?’ (pointing to sizes)
            Me: ‘Oh that!’
            Snarky Hipster Barista: ‘Yes. That. Ugh….’ (another eye-roll, exchanges snide, non-verbal cue w/ Snarky Hipster Barista #2, then is overcome by a look of near-panicked surprise)
            Me: ‘Sorry! I always get stuff like that off a bit’
            Snarky Hipster Barista: ‘Ack!’
            Me: ‘You OK, buddy?’
            Snarky Hipster Barista: ‘Guck!’ (clutches throat)
            Me: ‘Hey…got 4 quarters for the meter?’
            Snarky Hipster Barista: ‘Krrrrrrrrrk!’ (exhales loudly & lets go of throat)
            Me: ‘That’s a swell “Smurfs” t-shirt! Here’s a quarter – go get yourself some more moustache wax, and have a great day!’

    i don’t fall for any of this “snoke is no sith” stuff.

Or trying to sell with the advertising that Finn is a Jedi. Nice try, really. but i’m not falling for it. Once this new trilogy is done, i’m sure there will be a special feature on the episode 9 blu ray called ” hints we where giving all the way trough the new trilogy that Snoke was Plagueis , The John Williams music being the obvious first hint.

    uh, thats actually not a nail in the plagueis coffin. according to the rule of two he would no longer be a sith after palps tried to off him and took maul/dooku/and finally vader as his apprentice. its the same case with maul currently, and on the other side of it with ahsoka. sith and jedi are just ideologies and mean nothing in the grand scheme of dark vs light.

            He doesn’t even tell anakin it was his master, although it was implied to the audience. He just said it was a sith legend. Maybe it really is just a legend. It’s also possible palpatine made up the whole story himself to play on Anakins fears and lure him to the dark side.

    good point here below: Is Ahsoka Tano still considered to be a Jedi after she left the order ? if the answer is no, then i agree that Snoke/Plagueis is not a Sith.
    btw : Obi Wan Kenobi in Episode VI : “I was once a Jedi Knight , the same as your father…” WAS… meaning he or the screenwriter does not consider Obi Wan to be a Jedi anymore during the events of A New Hope. So Snoke could very well say in future movies that he “was once a Sith”

            ok… and neither are jedi. besides, again, sith is an ideology. snoke is still a dark side user no matter what label we give him and star wars will always be a battle between light and dark(the saga films at least), so if you’re looking for “new” i got bad news for you.

            you have no news for me, good or bad. Jedi are not new, but Rey and Finn and Poe and Kylo are. I am not looking for new things, merely trying to get you to open up to the possibility that not having Sith in the movies might lead to something you haven’t considered before and to try to enjoy it.

            You can have a battle of Light and Dark without Sith. Maz even said it takes many forms.

      That’s certainly a possibility, but I think the greater likelihood is that Snoke is simply a new character who was never Sith.

      What, of course, he might be is a fallen apprentice of Sidious or Plagueis. A pre-Maul one who abandoned the training to harness the Dark Side in a manner he thought better. To create his own order.

      #1 Ahsoka is not a Jedi any longer, just to make doubly sure you’re aware of this she stated it herself in the last episode of Rebels
      #2 In what world does Ahsoka’s designation having anything at all to do with Snoke make any sense whatsoever?
      #3 What’s so difficult to understand about the Jedi and Sith being specific orders of people who use the force?

        #2 don’t be a dimwit. We all understood what he was saying. If Ahsoka Tano was once a Jedi but didn’t consider herself one later in her life, then it would be possible that Snoke was once a Sith but doesn’t consider himself one later one. Get the similarities??

            Here’s a clue for you: vaguely similar music is not evidence they are the same person. The track from Episode 3 isn’t even a character theme, ya it just happens to be playing over a scene of Palpatine talking about Plagueis but it’s also the music from the Opera they’re attending.

            This is the Star Wars fan theory equivalent of Kirk Cameron’s assertion that bananas are evidence of god, nevermind the idea that there’s evidence of something you can’t prove is ludicrous.

            hey i respect what u believe but think about if for a second: Williams could have composed an endless amount of new themes for when Snoke appears. yet… he chose to compose music that is indeed ” vaguely similar” to the only scene in the entire saga where there is mention of Plagueis. Now why u think he did that ? 2 options : 1) John must have thought ” damn , i dont have any inspiration to create a new theme for the new baddie in this new trilogy called Snoke so ill recycle some music i did for a scene that i did in Episode 3″ Or…… 2) Maestro Williams is working on his grand masterpiece where we will slowly discover there is a leitmotiv for Plagueis troughout these 9 (or even 12) films ? remember that these new films still have to make some big surprise reveals and the “who are the parents of Rey ” is not gonna be the big one.

          exactly what i ment. What i was trying to say in general : if a character used to be this or that ( a sith , a jedi , a princess ) and lost this title or stepped down from that function then in that case Pablo is 100 % right. But it does not mean that that character did not was a sith or jedi in the past.

      I think the past tense on “Jedi Knight” was on the Knight aspect, Obiwan was still a Jedi, but he was no longer operating under an official station / title, hence, I WAS a knight for the Jedi, now I’m just a closet-Jedi. My interpretation.

            I don’t hate him being the “president of Star Wars canon” but he is overstepping. The movies (and other mediums like comics and books) reveals important details. When has a LFL exec revealed something huge about the plot before the movie was out? That’s right – they never have. Why would they do so now? He doesn’t need to answer everything nor is it in his job description.

            “Snoke is a completely new character”

            So that’s why his theme is the exact same music that played in Sith when Palpatine told Anakin about Darth Plagueis.

            Sorry, but it’s not ignorant to think that Snoke is connected to or actually IS Plagueis.

    I’m betting Dubrovnik is where Leia, Poe, and Finn are going while Rey is busy getting her training.

    Speaking of which, I really hope Finn and Leia have some scenes together, it could be really interesting because they actually have a lot in common. Leia and Finn are both ex-imperial turned rebellion, both have got war-scars and dark memories, no doubt Leia has a fair share of regrets about her past, and both have close relations with Jedis. Those two HAVE to do stuff together, it would be SO cool, have Finn and old-Leia running around blowing up train-tracks, I WOULD WATCH THAT.

    I’m not expecting it, nor do I have any theories that Snoke is Plagueis…

    But as a fan of the ENTIRE Star Wars saga, I think not using this existing character is a tremendous missed opportunity. Not only would it at least acknowledge the existence of the prequels without being overtly fan-service to them, it would provide the biggest, darkest most formidable foe in the SW universe. Why just make up a new guy? I’m totally on board for these new movies, but it’s just a poor, poor decision that makes me care just a little bit less about them as true parts of the overall series and puts them more and more into the realm of fan fiction 🙁

    Yes, “get over it”, I know. Doesn’t change my aforementioned feelings.

      No, it just means that you like them less. Fans like you need to realize that you don’t control what’s canon and what’s not. Believe me, if most fans could decided the canonicity of Star Wars movies, the prequels would’ve been retconned out of existence a long time ago.

        And as if it wouldn’t invalidate Palpatine from a certain perspective.

    Snoke isn’t a Sith, because the Sith Order no longer exists. However, Snoke could have very well ONCE been a Sith…(*cough* Plagueis *cough*).

    Maul is no longer a Sith either at the time of Rebels, but he’s still around and kicking, and trying to lure Ezra to the Dark Side.

    Dooku was not a Jedi in EP II…but obviously, he was a Jedi once before.

    Ahsoka is no longer part of the Jedi Order at the time of Rebels…but obviously, she was once before.

      Plaguies could have abandoned the sith order and the rule of two after Palpatine tried to assassinate him. He probably lost hope in the Sith so he probably went off to create his own dark side organization, The Knights of Ren.Think about it. Why would he go back to being a Sith after Palpatines fall? He probably just thought to himself “Just leave the sith dead once and for all” the sith always go extinct because they are too chaotic and paranoid of each other. Maybe that is why Plaguies left the Sith order and tried to make a more balanced dark side organization being the Knights of Ren which seem to basically be a bunch of Sith sympathizers and dark jedi.

        Dude, have you seen Shrouds of Darkness? The Inquistor in his Guardian armor warns Kanan of Ezra’s growing power. My friend and I believe Maul will turn Ezra dark. Once he’s dark, he will fight both Kanan and Zeb, earning a broken jaw from Zeb after he kills Kanan. In other words, look at Snoke’s scars and look at Ezra’s scars. It’s not dumb.

        Yes, with all of the curiosity over Snoke and his backstory, for Lucasfilm story group and all of the script writers for the new trilogy, to bank on Ezra as Snoke’s mysterious reveal?!?!?
        Is sad.
        It’s like when sitcoms kill off a lead character due to conficting actors salary demands with….”Oh he died and here is his brother …no one has ever mentioned.”
        So sad if Ezra is “The Other that we forgot to mention” or “cartoon fodder” that the masses do not follow.
        Twists and unexpected turns keep the interest going, shark jumping sinks ships faster than loose lips…Pablo needs to not tweek expectations and interpretation with tweets and realize to let the story be the boss and let the movies be Canon.
        They are headed for the rule of two debacle that Lucas wrote himself in a corner with. Never use Always and Never and then deviate away…Always two there are no more, no less, master and an apprentice.
        No more Sith just – Acolytes.
        And let’s not forget the Church of the force with vicars.
        The Knights of Ren a new order of dark side users that worship Vader, I can deal with. However, Snoke: who has the potential of being even more badass than Palpy…seems so squeezed in.

        OK, I’ll grant you that what you said is possible. But I don’t think that Palpatine trying to kill Plagueis would cause him to abandon the Sith given that a Sith apprentice is expected to try to kill his Master and seize power.
