Yeah that’s a real thinker

[Monkey_Driven]

Enough with the force ghosts...

Spoilers from MSW. Some tasty stuff

Spoiler: show

Jordan stood in for two planets in Star Wars: Episode IX.
The festival party is not the classic planet but a new one.
There’s Knights of Ren content filmed on that planet.
There is footage of Kylo walking away from TIE Fighter crash there.
The Lars Homestead may have been filmed at Pinewood for interiors and exteriors in Jordan.
Luke Skywalker’s X-wing Fighter was there and Rey has Luke’s X-wing helmet.
The MacGuffin supposedly starts out as one thing and that leads them to something else and unfortunately no one would ever tell us what it leads to as this is the films big secret.
Kylo’s ship is white with red and black details and lots of very cool mechanical looking parts dotted around it. Vader’s helmet is stored there.
The castle set we had been seeing is actually a miner’s town.
There is a droid factory (small room) there which is an Easter egg heaven – droids on the table reference John William’s scores, there is a Bad Robot, and some original prequel era Battle Droids.
Kylo Ren fights resistance troopers in the swamp and supposedly uses some brutal moves on them.
The Black Park Falcon set features some fire on the Falcon.
The Orange X-wing we saw back day does not appear to be Poe’s.
Keri Russel
Keri Russell’s outfit is rose gold, extremely fancy like a Stormtrooper but with the armor split into triangles on a purple suit. Her helmet has the shape of an Olympic cycling helmet. She was seen on the snow planet.
There might be a zero gravity battle at the end of the film and they built a massive wing or roof for it

Just watched that Always super trailer again.

Man it’s brilliant

Watched it last night with the fam, huzzah's all-round. I wish the sound editing was a little better - lots of volume peaks and valleys - but otherwise I'd have to say it's the best Star Wars thing released so far this year.

Spoiler: show

if flashbacks are to believed, then maybe the majority of Luke's screen time is in flashback form, and from a certain point of view, he'd be "alive" . And then a few scenes as a ghost

Maybe?

[Coach]

Were there any flashbacks in the original trilogy? I worry about leaning on those too much for storytelling in Star Wars. But the fact that I can't immediately remember perhaps means it doesn't matter.

[epilogue]

There are not flashbacks, no. It's the main reason people are so resistant to them in the ST. But I think as long as it's done well, it's totally fine. It all depends on execution.

[dimejinky99]

We’re getting a flashback of Luke training Leia apparently.

I don’t know what purpose flashbacks serve In The final act of any trilogy.
Unless in this case it’s to show us Han Luke Chewie and Leia somehow.

But. As joe said. If it’s done right. Bring it. And JJ is good at this stuff

[Coach]

I worry about the flashbacks, did not like the Luke - Kylo one in TLJ, but still liked that movie overall.

There none as I can recall.

[dimejinky99]

TLJ was definitely the only film that featured a flashback

[Monkey_Driven]

A good chunk of Force Awakens felt like a flashback.

[epilogue]

M_D, I swear to god...

[dimejinky99]

As does that post
I’m sure I’ve seen it before. Somewhere

[Monkey_Driven]

As original as the Force Awakens, I am.
