Star Wars: The Last Jedi
 

Star Wars Episode 8 has officially started filming, so I thought I make this thread for all discussion about Episode 8, whether its photos and BTS videos from the filming.

Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern and Kelly Marie Tran have been cast, I'm curious what type of role would fit Benicio Del Toro, he could either be a First Order officer or a member of the resistance, the same for Laura Dern and Kelly Marie Tran

What if Del Toro is the Collector? Shared universe hype!

Give Peter Quill a lightsaber and I'm all in. :tlol:

I'm saying it now, Luke will die in this movie and come back as a Force Ghost in Episode 9. Everyone remember this post now in Feb. 2016....2 years from now in late 2017 you will see that I am very right.

Star Wars has turned into Hamlet, King Lear, and Romeo and Juliet. All the main characters die. Its so sad. All the prequel characters HAD to die because that's where the story went, but now we know all the original characters will die too. I'm willing to bet Leia will be the only one to survive the new trilogy.

It will not happen but it is legal to have Mickey Mouse, Spider-Man, and Buzz Lightyear face Darth Vadar in a movie since they are all under the same umbrella of ownership.

It was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. They're all dead, you lunatic. Quit whining.

My money's on Chewbacca.

Star Wars Episode 8 has a working title...

Leia may very well be the only character to survive. The only problem is keeping Carrie Fisher alive.

She's only 60 years old. By the time Episode 9 comes out she'll only be around 65. Barring anything like cancer she'll survive the new trilogy.

Holy sh*t you guys are talking about people like they're tools you need to work long enough for you to complete your task.

Laura Dern!? Excellent. Now they just need Kyle MacLachlan and we're one step closer to David Lynch's Return of the Jedi.

As excited as I am for this movie shouldn't we be talking Rogue One right now? :D

Is there a thread for that yet?

No thread. Don't even know the fricken plot yet and there hasn't been any trailers either. All I know is it's out in December.

Consider it done.

Some set photos from the Croatia shoot.

How did they manage to shoot in Croatia? The government allowed them in that foreign land?

You'd be surprised... there aren't enough locations here with "classic" or "period" looking buildings at times, so quite a few UK dramas may do bits of exterior filming in Croatia or Bulgaria as a result.

As always, it's refreshing to see real practical effects in these movies, especially that photo of Rey riding that antelope looking thing.

Some more set photos from VIII

Is this a horror movie or is this Star Wars?

Yeah - Some parts of Europe got through the 20th Century relatively unscathed, architecturally speaking, so there are still a lot of undamaged buildings from all periods that look much like they always have. I have relatives from Croatia, and apparently it is beautiful. I don’t think filming there is any harder than filming in Italy or the Czech Republic politically speaking.

Rian Johnson has posted this BTS image of Lupita Nyong'o doing motion capture for Maz Kanata in Episode 8.

I'm surprised that character was so well received, she looked like someone straight out of the prequels in terms of her design.

The Millennium Falcon spotted on the set of Episode 8, there's a bunch of images here.

Holy sh*t. That is awesome

Despite my personal misgivings about TFA, I appreciate the effort to make a real Falcon rather than a ship you see on a blue screen.

Can you actually go inside that or are the sets for inside the falcon somewhere else?

Possible spoilers for the film. Until the movie is widely released it is a rumor.

Looks like the title for Star Wars Episode 8, might be "Star Wars: Fall of The Resistance"

Fake fake fake fake.

How would people feel if Luke dies in Episode 8 and comes back as a Force ghost in Episode 9?

Would people be angry if both Luke and Han are killed off and Leia is the only surviving character of the original trilogy?

Force ghost is a cool idea so I'd be down for it.

I like the idea of Luke ghost but it'd mean that the new trilogy is only continuing to ripoff the original trilogy. I mean who would kill him? Kylo Ren?

Probably sets.

It depends. Han's death didn't outrage people because it worked; it played its part in the story and will continue to do so in future installments.

If they do that with Luke, people will have the same reaction. If they kill him purely for shock value, then people will be pissed.

Rian Johnson posted a new BTS pic, filming is in the home stretch.
