Episode 8 spoilers: STAR WARS IS FINISHED

Spoilers from Making Star Wars:

>There will be no reunion between Luke and Leia.

>Luke doesn't seem to have a lightsaber for the movie (or at least most of it).

>Laura Dern's Admiral Holdo has purple hair, prequel-like clothes, and a silver blaster.

>There is a scene with Chewbacca alone on AHCH-TO and he "goes back to nature" and interacts with the Porgs in some way.

>Star Wars wasn't already finished with the Ewooks thing
Your fault for hyping whatever comes with that brand for so many years. Fanboys should be euthanized.

>Luke doesn't seem to have a lightsaber for the movie (or at least most of it)
Good

>Laura Dern's Admiral Holdo has purple hair, prequel-like clothes, and a silver blaster.
Fuck Rian Johnson and his prequel faggotry

Prequels ruin the classic Star Wars villains making them into crazy clowns.

Sequels ruin the classic Star Wars heroes turning them into incompetent buffoons.

fpbp

This movie is gonna blow chunks but normies will love it.

Laura Dern?

>There is a scene with Chewbacca alone on AHCH-TO and he "goes back to nature" and interacts with the Porgs in some way.
Am I supposed to know what any of that means?

I'm beyond hyped for this movie. I haven't been this hyped since... well, since TFA.

>STAR WARS IS FINISHED

Goddamn I wished.

Fanboys love it blindly because it's Star Wars
SJW's and feminists love it blindly because "Tags include: Black protagonist; Female protagonist"

Unless you mean it's finished as in "out of ideas or artistic merit"; in which case you're several decades behind the times friendo.

IT
NEVER
ENDS

>>Laura Dern's Admiral Holdo has purple hair
dammit Disney

What the fuck is a Porg?

>Luke doesn't seem to have a lightsaber for the movie (or at least most of it)
>Good
I can't stand faggots like you that want Star Wars without lightsabers and jedi. Thats literally the only thing that makes SW stand out from other sci-fi trash.

>Star Wars without lightsabers and jedi
Not true. I just want jedi with no lightsabers

>Luke doesn't seem to have a lightsaber for the movie (or at least most of it)

But he gets given it at the end of TFA.

Laura Dern is in the new one?

>or at least most of it
>Implying Luke only using his saber at an appropriate times isn't the best way sabers are used
>implying Luke showing he doesn't need one won't show he's ascended beyond even Sheev and Yoda

Yes, BDT too.

Giving Sheev and Yoda lightsabers really was a mistake. Would rather have seen a pure force battle between them

>Luke doesn't seem to have a lightsaber for the movie (or at least most of it).
One of biggest set confirmations was that Luke is going to fuck shit up with force and lightsaber when he meets knights of Ren.

Who the FUCK is Jason? Sounds like one of those queers

Porgs are the three legged pets of nerf herders and moof milkers. They look like gundarks.

If Sheev were ever to use one, it should have been to completely fuck about with someone who he knows has absolutely no hope of killing him.
When he actually fights, he throws the saber away.

In few days first episode 8 treailer drops
Sup Forums is flooded with all kinds of trailer releated topics.
Dedicated sticky
But it is finished!!!

Not true. The slow moving bright colour coded projectiles from the blasters are probably more important than lightsabers in creating exciting, deliberate and easily digestable action scenes.

I am not paying money to see this movie, if you do I hope you enjoy it.

According to the podcast:
>Porgs are little tiny birds, very very soft white and grey, a little bit of orange by the eye. The eyes are black circles. solid black eyes not like a cartoon with a pupil. "Fucking cute"
>the star wars equivalent of furbies
>baby porgs are fucking disgusting, unlike ewoks were the babies are cuter. look like moist gross things when babies.

apparantly.
>while rey and luke are training, chewbacca plays with birds

Oh, so a soft toy to sell to kids.

>There is a dedicated scene where Luke reunites with Chewbacca and R2D2, insiders have gotten "teary eyed" while describing this scene to Jason.
Fanboys are fucking pathetic.

He fought darth maul and his brother with lightsabers, absolutely destroyed them. I think he just likes it, but after the lightning fucks him up it does seem hes less keen on the sabers

Idk man im watching rogue one for the second time right now and its the best star wars movie since empire strikes back. But then again it does have vader, so maybe they just need to limit the amount of jedi.

>Wah why does star wars look like star wars

I can't wait for the memes. The only redeeming thing about Star Wars. Remember the agitated Finn memes from a couple of years ago?

Disney also brought us Sheev.

>its the best star wars movie since empire strikes back
HAAAAAAAAAA

Shoo shoo shill

This is why we need to encourage tripcodes on Sup Forums

I'll buy that, but what gun is Luke rocking? Will he get an upgraded blaster?

Shitty Star Wars

Porgs are what they're making of the Puffin's that live on the island.

Chewbacca is gonna wipe his hairy arse with a few of them.

One of these

>>There is a dedicated scene where Luke reunites with Chewbacca and R2D2, insiders have gotten "teary eyed" while describing this scene to Jason. This is the only reunion Luke will get in this trilogy.
No Ewoks or pig guards in this one?

>>There will be no reunion between Luke and Leia.
That's ok, but hopefully they were smart enough to at least shoot that scene...

>>Luke doesn't seem to have a lightsaber for the movie (or at least most of it).
Good, it should have some impact when he does use it.

>>Laura Dern's Admiral Holdo has purple hair, prequel-like clothes, and a silver blaster.
Hold-oh the fucking phone-o... "Holdo"?

>>There is a scene with Chewbacca alone on AHCH-TO and he "goes back to nature" and interacts with the Porgs in some way.
That sounds alright.

>>Kylo Ren has a hospital bed on this ship with an FX 7 style droid next to it. We could possibly see Kylo getting revitalized after TFA while also seeing Finn getting revitalized.
I guess that's cool? What does he do when he gets stronger?

Trishot looks cool as shit imo. Haven't played the game so I don't know how it handles.

>This is why we need to encourage tripcodes on Sup Forums

>this is what tripfags really believe

>There is a dedicated scene where Luke reunites with Chewbacca and R2D2, insiders have gotten "teary eyed" while describing this scene to Jason.

This sounds great though.

wtf I hate Star Wars now

Tripping doesn't mean you lose anonymity, and you can guarantee that I'm not shilling because it's unfeasable based on my previous posts. I take opinions of anons with a grain of salt, especially if they don't have any backing for their opinions because they might be shilling.

If only there were a site out there with their identity tagged onto any post, but you could create a profile on the fly to encourage anonymity.

You mean like Sup Forums?

Fucking hilarious how you think reddit is the only site with that system, it shows how new you are to the internet in general. I bet the only sites you've ever actively used is facebook, youtube, reddit and Sup Forums.

Odd that's what you immediately jump to.
Getting a bit defensive there, are we?

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of Sup Forums are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!
Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

>Puffin's

stfu, we both know what you meant. If I was wrong and you weren't new to the internet you would use the plural of the word.

I literally explained why the trip is needed, but you'd rather post the same trite copypasta (which is irrelevant) than making a real post.

And this is another reasons why trips are a bad idea; You've made yourself look like an utter spastic because you couldn't back down, even if the post was asinine, because you couldn't risk being hounded over it.
Anyone anonymous with a brain would just stop responding and rejoin the conversation, and the previous line of replies would be dead in the water.
Now, even if you rejoin the adults and act like one, your every post will be tainted with the knowledge of what an utter retard you are.

Sounds like utter shit.
Fuck these movies.

There will be no reunion between Luke and Leia.

Luke doesn't seem to have a lightsaber for the movie (or at least most of it).

Rey will be trained by Luke similar to Yoda, but with a unique spin due to Luke's emotional state.

This movie does not sound like ESB 2.0

Luke's journey will be much more "mystical"

Luke has a compass of some type.

The birds that they once thought were Convorees are not actually Convorees, but only look like Convorees.

The birds are actually called "Porgs"

The birds are very soft white and grey and have a small amount of orange by their eyes, which are two completely black circles. They are both adorable and creepy and heavily inspired by Puffins.

The birds in the background of the final scene of TFA are not Porgs. Porgs do not have long tails.

There was a scene they were filming in Ireland (some video of them filming this scene is publicly available) in which their is a Porg nest. The baby Porgs are "fucking disgusting." They are featherless and gross.

There is a scene with Chewbacca alone on AHCH-TO and he "goes back to nature" and interacts with the Porgs in some way.

The Porgs are a significant feature of the film, not just a background creature.

Luke Skywalker does have a scene where he explains to Rey her connection to the force and why it is important. Jason does not know what exactly Luke says.

Laura Dern's Admiral Holdo has purple hair, prequel-like clothes, and a silver blaster.

Rian Johnson took the best visual aspects of all eras of Star Wars as influence for this movie.

The costumes are much better than in TFA.

Jason couldn't find any evidence of Leia getting injured or hospitalized in any way.

Leia has a black, angular, dress that looks mourning-esque.

There is no evidence that there is a funeral on Dubrovnik.

Leia's main outfit is a brown Resistance dress.

Leia has her classic pistol from the beginning of ANH.

The First Order is much scarier than they were in TFA

The set design and vehicle design is much more original and unique than it was in TFA.

The figures dressed in black who were spotted in Ireland are NOT the Knights of Ren.

Kylo Ren is on a quest to prove himself. He has a new ship that is customized to look like the Falcon.

It is speculated that Kylo will begin a journey back to the light side.

Luke Skywalker will have neither a lightsaber nor a reunion with Leia.

Benicio Del Toro's character may be dressing as a dirty hobo to hide his identity. He is being held in a filthy old fashioned prison.

The white planet is definitely a salt planet, not a snow planet.

First Order AT-ST's will appear during the salt planet battle, along with sleeker B-Wings and the Gorilla Walkers. Gemstones are used against the walkers.

There is an emotional reunion scene between Luke, Chewbacca, and R2-D2.

Chewbacca will befriend the birds on Ahch-To and will embrace wilderness again, harkening back to his life on Kashyyyk. The birds are black with orange around their eyes. They are creepy yet adorable and the scenes with them are beautiful. They are also called "Porgs", though this may be a codename.

Leia will have a new brown uniform and her blaster from ANH. She will also wear an angular black dress. No word on whether or not she will be injured.

Phasma will actually do things time around, and she'll be terrifying.

Poe has an upgraded X-Wing and a new, brass BB-unit.

The First Order Super Star Destroyer is colossal and looks like a "city in the sky". It is hunting the Resistance Fleet, led by Poe Dameron.

Shit. Now I get it!

Does this mean we're getting a dumb floating water cooler saying Oobah to Kylo Ren? I hope so

STFU, the same people cried over Han dying. I hate this shit, who cares.

>what is the force
fucking underage faggots I swear

>There will be no reunion between Luke and Leia.
thanks jj

Am I the only one who really doesn't give a shit about Ep 8? I mean I'll watch it, but there's no way I'm gonna follow the spoilers, news, and getting hyped for it's release.

None of this is true. All LARPing

I'm a step further. I don't give a shit about VIII or any other Star Wars movie again, and I'm not gonna see it nor any other SW movie again.

no they ruined star wars and I no longer care

>The white planet is definitely a salt planet, not a snow planet.

The planet is called "Sup Forums after this movie shatters every box office record known to man"

no, disney has given us 2 shitflicks so far in a row in addition that han solo is already confirmed to be shit and even if VIII isn't an ESB remake I can totally see it rely on callbacks, worthless nostalgia tear jerking or just do something fucking stupid like that force tree rumor.

I honestly think I grew out of Star Wars. I appreciate the original for the transformative piece of cinematic history that it was, but other than that I just don't care anymore.

All of this sounds shitty.

>blowing smoke how the first order is REAL SCARY and phasma will be TERRIFYING this time
>ripping off the hoth battle but it's salt not snow.
>rey is gonna be some chosen one

Ya, this is actually believable. Straight to the trash just like TFA and RO.

Stay mad, JewJew.

Not looking forward to this movie. More of the same, a rehash of Empire with cosmetic differences.

Ya probably I kinda feel the same but personally these sequals feel so artificial and fake I can't even have some fun with it.

>ifunny.co

except the only relevant one: the highest-grossing film of all time, which TFA, the most hyped movie of all time, failed to get within even $700m of.

It didn't even come 2nd

it is against the rules to shill your site here

So are Porg plushes going to bethe thing every one is killing each other for this christmas

>This is the only reunion Luke will get in this trilogy.
Wait a minute does this mean Lando isn't coming back?

Well, he could come back but he wont be meeting Luke. I don't think he'll come back anyway, usually actors tend to slim down for a role but Billy Dee Williams seems to be just staying the same. Also bringing all the characters back is just a cheap trick for nostalgia, they've already shot themselves in the foot by bringing literally everyone back from the original trilogy and now are stuck with trying to figure out what to do with them.

Ex. Brought Carrie back for no real reason and now she's passed away they're kind of fucked on terms of resolving her story

Probably doesn't need a lightsaber now, can destroy planets with the force.

I can't wait for Sup Forums to completely lose it's shit on friday. I expect about 3 sticky threads at once.

Fuck you, you little faggot

Porg is your mom's escort name

Disney cancelled Star Wars Celebration and moved up the release date of the Han Solo movie to summer probably because they are worried about what the reception to The Last Jedi will be

You might want to check the dates of all the previous celebrations.

Solid post

the original Star Wars has lightsabers in 3 short scenes, probably like 2 minutes of screen time total. The first is Luke just kinda admiring it, the second is him deflecting the blasts from the ball thing on the Falcon as a way for Kenobi to train him to use the Force, and the last was a sword fight between an old man and a guy in a mask who couldn't see.

It's faggots like YOU who can't understand that lightsabers were originally just the space equivalent of swords since they belonged to Jedi Knights. They were used sparingly, and the most impactful scenes in the original trilogy involving lightsabers were because of the emotion behind them. Does anyone care about Luke cutting open the AT-AT with his lightsaber in Empire? no, because there's no emotion involved so who cares beyond it being a flashy effect.

It's because of people like you that only want cool laser swords with flashing lights and different colors that they became so overused in the prequels and all the shows/games after.

It wouldn't make sense for Luke to have a lightsaber at this point. He's older than Obi-Wan was when he trained Luke, and Luke's spent the past decade or whatever by himself in the first Jedi Temple. Why the fuck would he need a lightsaber? It's the same reason why Yoda didn't have one, and why the Emperor even talked down upon them. They were like butter knives to them. But then Lucas fucked that all up completely by giving them both lightsabers to fight each other with in the prequels.

>Star wars celebration is a yearly thing
News to me

>kids

Or you know, there was a limit to the tech they had in the 70s

With better editing and writing, it could have been. I'd put it as the 4th best film.

Not what, who.

Yeah, the writing was definitely the movie's weakest link. For a film where the goal is to make the audience care about the characters so that their sacrifices at the end are emotional, they made no effort to give any of them interesting personalities or character development. The only memorable characters were Krennic and Galen, because they both had depth & clear motivations throughout the film. Jyn's backstory after the prologue is glossed over to the point where I don't even know if they explained at all. Cassian seemed promising when he said that he had been fighting for the Rebellion since he was 6 years old, but then thats never brought up again after that scene. Plus, he and Jyn don't really bond at all during the film, they just kinda go from bitterly working together to working together without hating each other, but that's the extent of it and suddenly at the end there's this implied romance between them? I'd have been totally fine with it if it was actually developed throughout the movie. Could you imagine if Han and Leia didn't flirt at all in Empire until he was about to be put in carbonite and they professed their love for each other? It would have been absurd. Obviously Jyn and Cassian didn't outright confess their love at the end, but you can't deny that their final scene had heavy romantic undertones.

And then there's the two Asian dudes who are introduced to the story in the laziest way possible. Compare it to Han and Chewie joining Luke/Obi-Wan in ANH. At first they were only in it for the money and were just going to fly them to Alderaan, then they were with them on the Death Star while still being in it for the money, and by the end of the film they fly into the trench run and save Luke from Vader, completing their arc.

Meanwhile the two Asian guys go on a suicide mission cuz they hate the Empire, or so we're told. It'd have been better if we actually SAW why they hate the Empire rather than being told.

Yeah I agree with pretty much all of this. It sucks because watching the movie it's so easy to see how they could have made it so much better with fixes to fundamental character issues in the script, cuz from every other aspect of production you could tell they gave it their all, but it's almost wasted because of the messy script.
