Yes, I can't wait for the triumphant return of Jar Jar Binks!

Shut your mouth.

Podracing is where it's at. Sebulba is a mean BAMF.

I hope the reshoots regarding injecting "fun" are false, because every joke in TFA sucked. Really badly.

I generally don't like "dark" movies - or at least ones that are physically dark, like the later Harry Potters, where you can't even see what's going on onscreen. I do enjoy movies have a dark atmosphere - it communicates danger and fear on a level a dark screen never could.

Man, screw Disney. I still maintain that the prequels were far better than TFA. People say George Lucas ruined Star Wars but the damage Disney will probably do will be much worse to the franchise. If this is how they think Star Wars movies should be made, then there will never be another Empire Strikes Back.

I hope this is the only podracing scene in a new Star Wars movie.

I knew it... Spider-Man.

Is the main female lead of this film a relative unknown like Daisy Ridley was before Episode 7 came out? Maybe Disney is nervous people won't like the new female lead as much as Rey.

Probably doesn't matter as much since she's likely only going to be in this one film, since this takes place in the Episode 4 era and she'd be way too young to reprise her role in any other movie in the timeline.

No. Felicity Jones is a pretty well known actor. She's way more attractive and a better actor than Ridley so she'll do fine.

I've seen you say this multiple times and I'm confused. The majority of Reddit seems to want darker movies as much as most people do.

Anyway, I hope it still stays dark. I'm afraid they're trying to take the safe route. I liked TFA, but they played it way too safe in that one.

I think this is the closest we'll get to what's going on with the reshoots. Breznican has the in with Lucasfilm.

EW is about to drop some articles on the movie. Although it was the worst kept secret out there, Darth Vader is confirmed for the movie.

Is James Earl Jones going to be voicing Vader? I know he has dementia now, but I don't know to what extent it impairs him.

[NinjaPug]

I'm sure he will be since he currently voices Vader in the Rebels TV show

[CyberCubed]

I hope this movie is good. It sets the precedent for all future Star Wars spinoff movies.

Breakdown of the new characters:

Really curious who Forest Whitaker is playing now.

"This character has a past that Star Wars completists will recognize immediately when they see his name, even if he looks very different than the way they've seen him elsewhere."

Huh. I... really have no idea. Maybe some guy from the old EU stuff who they're bringing in, but differently?

Can't think of any super old black guys in TFA, black guys Whittaker's age in the OT, or any super young black guys in the prequel trilogy.

Oh, no... please don't let it be Mace Windu.

If they were going to do that they would just bring back Jackson. Although I'm not convinced he really died... there's a million ways a Jedi -- even one without hands -- can slow or stop his own fall.

You're probably right. But I thought Disney dumped the whole EU - it would look a bit silly if they were to incorporate elements from it into their films. Having already been criticized for copying the first Star Wars scene-by-scene for TFA, it'd look kind of bad for them if they copied an EU character.

I think they've been pretty vocal at times about "some aspects of the EU may or may not 'come back' in some form, the fun is we get to pick, blah blah" down the road.
