Star Wars 7 shit talk

I have high hopes, I guess, but JJ Abrams often disappoints. At least Damon Lindelof is not involved.

Big article and tons of photos in EW. Maybe they're sort-of-kind-of doing the Jacen Solo story after all?

Remember how we eventually learned that “Darth” is not a first name, but a kind of title? It appears the surname “Ren” is something similar.

“He is a character who came to the name Kylo Ren when he joined a group called the Knights of Ren,” Abrams says. But that’s as far as the writer-director will go. What are the Knights of Ren? You’re going to have to wait until Dec. 18 to find out.

“He is not your prototypical mustache-twirling bad guy,” Abrams offers. “He is a little bit more complex than that, and it was a great joy to work with Adam Driver on this role, because he threw himself into it in a deep and remarkable way.”

There are many implications to this piece of Kylo Ren’s history. If he had a different name before aligning with these mysterious knights, maybe we’ve heard it before. Maybe we know… his parents?

We’re definitely going to have to wait for that.

No mustache-twirling bad guys pls the Star Wars are known for their subtle and nuanced villains. /s

The second trailer has my hopes up but Abrams is generally such a hack and while pretty good at setup, he's so terrible at finishing stories.

I thought Darth was short for Dark Lord of the Sith

Scholars disagree on that, apparently.

Kylo Ren's facemask looks like an aluminum can to me, but otherwise the released shots look pretty cool.

I like it, resembles a 30's pulp villain or something.

I'm genuinely impressed with the look of what we've seen in trailers so far.

Colin Tervorrow confirmed to direct Episode IX

that name is extremely difficult to type for some reason

That's his Jedi name, right?

Are you ready for Star Wars to be completely drained of all color?

For a photo shoot, perhaps, but all the trailer footage we've seen indicates the opposite.

that's from Rogue One

Oh yep

Man, I should have known not to google "what was up with that werewolf in the star wars cantina" and expect any fewer than 40 paragraphs.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lak_Sivrak

ok I won't ruin it for anyone but died laughing just now reading about wolfy's romance w/ dice ibegon as fugitives from the empire, w/ ibegon dying at the battle of hoth and wolfy fighting on to honor her memory and then wondering 'wait, which one was dice ibegon?' and finding out that 'o, that was dice ibegon.'

Hot werewolf on lamprey action.

The survivors of the Battle of Endor held a victory party along with the local species, the Ewoks. During it, a ghost-like, semi-transparent, bright Force spirit of Lak Sivrak met Dice Ibegon's. They joined, paw in tail, and walked to meet three other friends [Anakin, Obi-Wan, Yoda] that were waiting for them.[3] Ibegon and Sivrak were together again, their spirits shining in the Force.[1]

The spaces just off-camera in the original trilogy must be crammed with expanded universe plots.

i feel like creators of expanded universe stories were using star wars as an outlet for their intensely weird fantasies

I had Tales from the Cantina or w/e and the bounty hunter short story collection when they came out. There were... some interesting ones.

There is some weird species that looks humanoid but has tendrils that allow them to drink brains. The inner dialogue of that dude was mostly talking about the "soup" of others, meaning... brain juices.

ugh ugh

Haha, yeah, this dude:

The tendrils are supposed to grow out of their cheeks. Later, the comics writers and EU writers used them a lot: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Anzat_(species)

"...she then turned to him and seductively offered to buy him a drink..."

She eventually met Lak Sivrak—known to most as only Sivrak—a secretive Shistavanen Wolfman fugitive who had slain a group of Imperial troops. Although he and Ibegon had markedly different body structures, Sivrak found the Lamproid extremely attractive, and Ibegon made efforts to seduce him, buying the Shistavanen a drink and inviting him to sit with her.

DON'T. BE. SCARED. cuz i'm [not] yr body tyyYYYyype

also i love the passport-style photo and matter-of-fact caption a third of the way down the dice ibegon article
