Star Wars 7 shit talk

Some new photos at EW: http://www.ew.com/gallery/star-wars-force-awakens-exclusive-photos

and a nice Ford interview

http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/11/harrison-ford-is-han-solo

So RLM looks to be right, Han and Chewie are a couple of pedestrian hobos at this point? ref interview comment about how Han's still no good with money, and "we're home" line from that one teaser back when, implying they've not been spending much time on the Falcon.

it's actually the moment after they dock with Home One, Ackbar's ship

If multiple missions playing Xwing/Tie Fighter are any indication, Home One was blown away long ago by an errant pilot who got bored on a mission and decided to see how many hits it would take to destroy certain critical hard points on an Alliance capital ship.

EW talks to Lupita Nyongo about her character, which apparently appears on the movie poster:

a thousand years old, finally a character who knows things

Star Wars got the Pai Mei it needed

I dig how Andy Serkis is getting a double paycheck as both onscreen actor and mocap advisor

He should just wear a mocap suit 24/7 and spend his life walking funny and contorting himself, just to build a licenseable archive. When they get around to making that movie about a CGI creature that sleeps all the time, he'll be printing money.

Pah. Manga wanjee kohkpah Peecha wahnjee kohkpa tahng nahngee toochantkee lasagna.

Per that great Red Letter Media prediction episode, what exactly does the Empire do with its power besides build Death Stars? They're kind of a one-trick pony, aren't they? Conquering worlds to get resources to build Death Stars to conquer worlds to get resources to build Death Stars to ... It's like a Spacemen 3 album title.

lol thats another thing the prequels could have looked into. maybe it ultimately is about taxation and trade deals.

Power grows out of the barrel of a death star

Episode 9 will end with a Death Star on Death Star superlaser duel.

"So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause."

btw congrats to General Leia Organa. That's a nice promotion for someone who went through the first movie showing the irritation commensurate with finding the nail salon closed.

well, she was a politician, but still a kid, really

her brother's biggest ambition was to maybe get off his world, someday, but mostly hang out at the convenience store with his friends while pretending to run an errand for power converters

well he's an American Graffiti character gone galactic

someone who went through the first movie showing the irritation commensurate with finding the nail salon closed.

LOL yeah chicks right?

They give a sensible rationale in ANH in the officers meeting, which actually is a neat scene that I don't think we get another one of quality(not counting the prequels' shitty attempts).

"Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station."

This scene is also where he mentions how the Imperial Senate has been dissolved by the Emperor, and now regional governors have direct control over their respective territories.

So, yeah, mobile doomsday weapon to backstop an authoritarian power-grab.

And *of course* Wookieepedia has a write-up for it:

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

tbf tarkin never used that phrase, it was coined by charles krauthammer

i like Carrie Fisher, GOTT (moreso when she learned to act a little), but that character as a future general is mighty funny.

also fuck PC bullshit as always

the new poster for her is cool

lol lens flare tho

One of the few times that John Simon makes me laugh intentionally is when he calls Leia an Organic Lay.

lol dlh

god that is such a better version of phantom menace

Can't help feeling like John Boyega's dialect coach taught him to talk in Eddie Murphy's "white man" voice:

super excited about those 70s-style space light panels in the still

Whoa, regular stormtrooper dude with anti-lightsaber thing.

yeah, looks dumb

I think this movie will be bad now

RIP ep 7

time to die

Anybody else see that shot of Carrie Fisher on the set of Blade Runner?

i thought that was edward james olmos

Her boots were bigger

If I'd gone Navy I wonder if I'd still be in.

Watching Jedi with the girls. They find the Ewoks adorable and keep asking why Luke keeps kissing his sister, because it's gross.

Also, they have no idea they're called Ewoks, so they call them Super Bears.

close enough

Super Bears reminds me off the times Shoneys would have guest appearance by kids' tv knockoffs like the "Power Turtles"
