A fantastic in-depth documentary about Bioware and how they were creating the Star Wars video games:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Luke never ever seeing his friend Han again was something that really bothered me the most after TFA. Really sad:

 

 

 

Mark is sad too:

 

 

 

Brother and sister reunited in London:

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Domhnall Gleeson!

 

 

 

Good news fro Bloodline coming from Claudia Gray herself:

      It’s not that… It just seems too obvious.

        Maybe that’s not the twist, maybe it’s something else. People weren’t even looking for a twist when ESB came out, now they look for it all the time.

          I think part of the problem is that audiences will be actively looking for a good twist in this new trilogy at some point, and if they end up not doing a twist then that will piss people off. Likewise, if they end up doing a twist that isn’t clever, creative, or is too different from what they were expecting but different in a negative way, audiences will be pissed off.

          I feel like any of these new Star Wars movies have a damned if you do, damned if you don’t outlook ascribed to them.

            because there are whiny fans that make problems out of everything.. why can’t we all just enjoy the films?

            That would be too easy for everyone in the fandom. now wouldn’t it. 🙂

            No matter what they do, it always pisses people off. Some people being pissed off by SW is granted.

            Well they shouldn’t, they are just movies and stories.

        Maybe the twist is there is no twist, what looks too easy looks that way because it is in fact, true.

    You forgot when Pablo straight up said that Snoke isn’t Plagueis.

      denial… the first step. all the stubborn plagueis supporters are still holding onto the idea.. even though it has been said in black and white that it isn’t true…. xD

        Of course it’s not true. Snoke is the reincarnation of Yoda!!! XD

        That’s almost as stubborn as all those fanboys who insisted that the desert planet in TFA was Tatooine despite evidence pouring in from MSW and this site suggesting otherwise. (Remember that guys?)

          Thing is, in the end, it may as well have fucking been Tatooine. Exact same environment, living conditions, etc etc, all minus the bustling starport towns which I’m sure were on Jakku somewhere.

          It’s funny how Disney gets the license and promises new Star Wars by giving us TWO new Tatooines.

            Thing is Jakku was a dunes and and flats, Tatooine was dunes, flats, and very rocky areas. We didn’t see any real rocky areas on Jakku. (Doesn’t mean there couldn’t be, just we never saw them.)

            i haven’t read it but in the art of the force awakens book, there is concept art depicting jakku as a water planet with old battle remnants sunken underwater.. imagine how cool and DIFFERENT that would have been.. imagine a star wars world living on a water planet.. would have made the first 30-40 minutes of the film so much more interesting..

          I didn’t think there was all that much evidence that it wasn’t Tatooine until Abrams said it was Jakku at SW Celebration April of last year.

            Look again, there was tons of evidence more than a year before the film’s release. A lot of it was reported in Making Star Wars.net, as mentioned in my last comment. I might also add that most people scoffed at this site and said “You’re crazy, it possibly cannot be anything else other than Tatooine!”

            Nobody ever said a planet name, though.

    Wow this was a nice recap. I’ve been slacking a bit on keeping up with Star Wars. Pablo answered so much!

    That TOR documentary is pretty awesome. I just wish I could believe what they said about “things you should do if you want to get into game development”, because all I’m thinking is “you guys are under the EAmbrella, that’s an example of what NOT to do”.

    Since George Lucas brought Darth Maul back from the dead, maybe Disney/Lucasfilm will one day decide to bring back one or a few of the following: Boba Fett, Mace Windu, Darth Plagueis, Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, Padme Amidala Naberrie, Obi-Wan enobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, Lor San Tekka, one of the Order 66 victims. Or maybe they will all stay dead. The point is that they could do it if they felt like it. The future is mysterious…

    I wasn’t convinced it was the Falcon before, but now I am, as seen below.

      Sorta looks like Cloud City or Tipoca in the first even though it’s clearly not.

      I find it funny that The Falcon was only built a few times throughout the OT, but it seems like the Falcon has been built like 12 times so far in the ST, even though Episode IX hasn’t even started filming yet.

    Always found it ironic that Lucas’s biggest haters are now the most ardent supporters of the Han Solo film.

      I haven’t seen anyone super excited for it.

        They are an extreme minority but they are out there. It has a more uphill battle than TFA, I think most got onboard with VII after the entire OT cast came back and the trailer came out but this film needs a miracle to get everyone interested.

      What’s the canon definition of “patient”?
