Not sure how I feel about this
Note: The 3D version of Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be available later this year.

Kinda really wish they'd left in the scene with kylo walking around the falcon.

Even that would have added some weight and resonance to Hans death scene.

That's awesome, dime! If you get to take photos, please post them.

If it is a gravestone, it could just be a prop. If that's the case, I doubt they'd still leave it there.

Yeah I'll take loads of photos don't worry:)

That's my thinking. If the stone isnt there, it's a prop and involved in the story.
there's stones sticking up all over the place on the island but I'm convinced it's a gravestone. Why have a random stone interfere with such an important shot if it isn't? They'd move him over even slightly or cgi it out. Plus he seems to be looking down at it.

Anyways excited to be going. We're taught about the Skelligs since primary school and I definitely want to go before it gets closed off to the public which it may well be given the explosion in numbers wanting to go. The boatman told me its booked out from April all the way through May. I go may 20. There's only something like 40 people a day allowed visit.

It really is. I am also full expecting at least a couple of those characters to be in Rogue One, possibly more.

Yeah possibly. Watching Clone Wars now. It's actually really good but the 50s style news announcer is really annoying. I get that it goes into Lucas' wish to make it like the old Flash a Gordon serials but it just doesn't fit.



Also once again I gotta recommend that book How Star Wars conquered the universe. It's a fascinating and fun read

It's a weird show the way it jumps off on side stories with other Jedi fighting grievous and Padme on her random adventures(seemingly always getting caught).

Think I enjoy Rebels a lot more.
