Judging from the leaked concept art of TFA, is it safe to assume that the general plot of all three movies is already pretty much written-out to some degree?
Why does he wear the mask? If he takes it off would he die?
Ryder Sullivan
something something painful for you
Dominic Barnes
Tfa concept art was better than the movie.
Leo Thompson
The very first new characters they made were Kira(Rey) and Jedi Killer(Kylo). Kira in the early stages was still a scavenger. However she meets Luke early on and goes with him on a wild adventure. Its clear Luke wasn't blood related to her but writers didn't know how to make sure people wouldn't be more invested in Luke and ignore the new character. Jedi Killer was some alien/cyborg in the early stages but as time went on they made him look more human to seduce the heroine. Pic related is him and Kira.
Also by that stage Sam(Finn) was created.

>you're so fucking ugly and awkward looking the audience started to laugh so now you're forced to wear a mask in the following movies
top kek
Adam Stewart
He's hot tho
Nathaniel Butler
Their concept pics were more atmospheric than anything in the movie.
Camden Garcia
thready reminder that we could've gotten aryan teenage solo twins as the main characters
Caleb Rogers
>Adam Driver confirmed that he (Kylo Ren) wears a mask throughout Episode VIII.
Is this a serious post or genuine autism? Do you seriously not understand what a joke is?
Easton Richardson
Here's Rey. Casting was open for all races. She kinda looks black here.
Only reason why Ridley got the role was because she was able to cry in demand in her audition.
Gavin Young
No, I don't. Please explain, what is a "joke"? Is it a meme like "kino" or something?

Another concept of Rey.

I'm glad they did this, desu. Kylo's face was revealed exactly where it needed to be, covering him up with CGI during that scene was smart. Didn't even know it was CGI in the movie.
>WHITE MALES ARE THE BAD GUYS >DARKSKINS AND FEMINISTS ARE THE GOOD GUYS What did he mean by this?
Matthew Turner
I agree. Having him just stand there without the mask would have been a crap reveal.
I'm really glad they didn't make Kylo a generic jedi-hating cyborg, that would have sucked. Damn, TFA could have been even more safe and bland, props to JJ for not being totally unoriginal I guess.
Julian Phillips

Oliver Davis
Those TIE Fight visuals seems really cool. Seriously fuck JJ for doing the snap zoom and the IT AIN'T ME shot instead.
JJ did a great job with the visuals for like 90% of the movie but there were enough boneheaded modern camera moves that fucked it up. The Millennium Falcon snap zoom and the final closing spinning helicopter shot were shit. I liked the artsy Dutch Kylo Ren zoom though
Noah Green

Yeah, making him the whiny bitch boy from grandma's boy was much better.
Wyatt Parker
Why are these posters not getting IP banned? We'll be lucky if mods even delete it.

This would have been cool.

ronin luke is cool, sand memes are too rampant though i want to see this scene with someone in it that matches Driver's physique >hot stoic jedi girl and carefree fuccboi gunslinger movie never instead of those we have iStormtroopers
leddit bullied poor George so hard he said fuck it and sold this shit sad
Grayson Powell
Too bad Kylo came off more like a virgin dweeb with rapey vibes than an intelligent and seductive dark mentor for Rey.
Jacob Hughes
I'd say more like 70%. There were several shots that could have come straight out of the OT, but there's lots of little things that give away it's Abrams. The camera is far more dynamic than anything Lucas would ever do.
Hemi death star battering ram? I can dig it
Josiah Wood
Same can be said for every concept art.

Got to go now, sorry senpaitachi.

But the ones in the movie are great, they're very different but instantly recognizable as stormtroopers
Thanks for posting them

if they don't make rey fall to the dark side by the end of VIII and have kylo be redeemed it's gunna be shit

I'm not sure if they should have gone with practical effects or what but something was definitely lost in the movie's execution of this design.
Blake Brooks
Cool prop effects.
Matthew Ross
Leaks from MSW said that in VII he'll be a prop/CGI mix like Plunkar.
Had to be CGI in TFA because of the scale.
Kevin Reyes
Looking at all of this concept art, this trilogy could've been so sick. Fuck.

okay, vote on where the VIII equivalent of "Hoth Battle" will take place:
a) jungle planet b) volcano planet c) sand planet d) water planet e) robot planet f) fuck you, space

Concept for Snoke, later reused for Rebels show.

Snow planet
Chase Hill
Dick planet planet made of sentient dicks
Kevin Parker
so basically in your moms vagina?? gross
Grayson Baker
him appearing as a giant hologram doesn't stop them from doing it practically in any way, all they would need to do is film the prop in front of a green screen. they just did it CG because he was already partially concealed which meant it wouldn't make a difference to the viewer's perception

Carter Johnson
So have any other leaks sprung up for 8? The force tree? Anything?
Mason Martin

Wyatt Ortiz
He was CGI in TFA because he only had one scene with no moving in a dark room so they didn't really have to finalize his design yet or commit to building a huge functional puppet.
Same reason Gollum looks so wonky in Fellowship. Just make him vaguely Gollumy and we'll figure out how we're gonna do him later when he's a real player.
Nathan Thomas
awful, the movie ones are better
Jack Lee
Nope, so far nothing about the crucial plot points.
I bet MSW has them all already but he's dripping it to milk the ad money.
Zachary Adams
Kenos?

Luke Rogers
you'd find a lot of movies of this type that follow this kind of pattern, where they start with a wide array of more radical art and then hone it into something a little more conservative. i'm just talking about movies where the environment and world are a big part of the film.
all those artists get to throw out their ideas early on, and remember that they're most likely creative professionals at the top of their field. and perhaps most importantly, they're adults creating what they think is interesting and provocative.
the filter all that creativity has to pass through afterwards is the demographic targeting. the limit to wild creativity is general appeal and coherence. the imagery and story need to be understandable by a wide range of people, and the maturity has to come down to accommodate the audience, which includes a children, midwesterners, china...
you're blaming abrams or disney for making bad decisions, but you're misplacing the blame. nobody actively thinks boring is better. and it isn't hollywood running out of ideas or talent, either.
it's just demographics. hollywood's successes have broadened the audience base to the point where you are no longer the target audience. in fact, nobody is, so much as the final product just needs to pass through the most number of cultural gates, so it naturally ends up a little bland.
Wyatt Powell
ekans?

nekos?
IS SNOKE A KITTY??
Bentley Fisher
Not a leak but production spent a long time on those islands off of Ireland. It's a good bet Rey and Luke are staying there for a while, possibly for training. A fight scene was filmed there as well.
Brandon Cooper
That Crotia set is dope.
>mfw Rian makes Star Wars Great Again.
Nathan Howard

Nolan Walker
no eks?
Hunter Jackson
yes... which in turn is an anagram of SNAKE... which in turn is a reference to the biblical snake... which in turn is a reference to lust... which in turn is a reference to satan... and satan, as we all know, is an anagram of...?
Julian Sanchez
>Trouble in Little Chinatown reference in SW Disney confirmed for bros
Michael Diaz
You could've just skipped a step and said Snoke looks a bit like the word Snake.
Jaxon Howard
that thing is terrifying please purge it
Mason Myers
Another Snoke concept.
>A fight scene was filmed there as well
Pretty much confirmed. Driver was with them, was spotted on set and KoR-like figures also were spotted.
It is speculated, not sure where from, that KoR takes on Luke, he easily wipes them, Kylo goes after Rey and the venture in some sort of tombs. I hope thats true, I want intense cat-mouse play in ''ghostly'' setting like that. A la ESB end but a lot more intense.
Blake Smith
no fun allowed, huh? :^(
Colton King
No.
Elijah Jenkins
why can't carrie fischer look this good??? damnit
Brayden Sanders
AAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Luis Russell
lmao?
Michael Baker
i hope snoke has a "twisted fucking psychopat" 'saber. like, curved like a pirate sword, with a light-piercing near the top of the blade and all made of pure black light, dripping blood
Jacob Cox
> all these fucking concepts and the only one that ended up used elsewhere was the creepy dude in the middle here
Isaac Allen
its what happens when the producing team goes into a meeting with the studio execs, showing off all this cool shit, and then them going. NO thats not marketable, no we need more callbacks, no we need mroe diversity. whole movie changes
Juan Gray
No one cared who he was until he put on the mask.
Hudson Watson
That's what concepts are for. Artists shit out a billion ideas for things and those get cut down and refined into the final thing.
James Sullivan
is.. is she cutting up a star destroyer with a lightsaber.. thank god they didnt let EVERY terrible idea get through to the final cut, just most of them.
