So everyone now have to watch 12 O'Clock High and figure out the story!

 

[Einchy]

The scroll will just be a Youtube video of TFA's ending.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Just like I predicted. There's a reason they haven't done ANY EU adventures in-between Ep.VII and Ep.VIII; there aren't any!

Will be very interesting to see a crawl that doesnt deal with a time jump, that has sort of been the point of every one up til now, to inform us of whats happened in the time between films.

 

[Tsunamo]

As much as I love having a timeskip inbetween movies this will be fun to watch.

 

[Zereta]

This seems soothing:

I do hope they do take into account the reaction that the 'sameness' of the tech in The Force Awakens. Say what you will about the Prequel-era, they expanded the universe in amazing ways. A 30 year jump should bring about some new stuff.

What if the bit where it picks up from TFA is before the crawl? They deal with Rey/Luke, then there's the crawl and time jump?

Would be very odd, but how else are they going to do it?

Depends how much time has actually passed at the end of TFA between them returning to base and Rey heading off to find Luke.

The story needs to be about where he is right now, not where he was when he was a kid

Johnson says that the process was about coming in with feelings of deep nostalgia and having to get past them very quickly

more quips against JJ

 

[Mr Cola]

I think so too, be nice to see the ramifications

This being said, just because it starts at the end of tfa, doesnt mean it doesnt jump AFTER the opening scene.

They will never do this, Star Wars is about the old and rundown tech, they knew the prequels messed too much with the visual identity of Star Wars.

 

[Mr Cola]

"The second film is where we start zooming in on those characters, getting to the heart of them and pushing them deeper."

We going dark boys

I don't mean technological advancements, just different stuff visually. Tech of other cultures and worlds, not the same TIEs and X-Wings (Literally all there was in TFA)

Hell, The TFA Visual dictionary literally says that the First Order was building tech in deep space, yet we saw none of it.

Was there every any doubt?

One of the planets they have shown pics of looks rather incredible and new

Is it too late to get Rian to do 9 too?

Johnson says that "a big chunk" of the film was shot in Ireland.

Dave Filoni hype

Dave Filoni, executive producer of Star Wars Rebels, came to visit the set numerous times. Johnson says they were very lucky to have “the man in the cowboy hat” visit.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

They're on Anch-To a while then.

They filmed here where I live, can't wait to see the area up on the big screen. Even better to hear we'll see plenty of it.

 

[Einchy]

Wonder how the live bloggers got those pictures.

Wonder if this is where all Rey's training is done

I'm telling you, dude's going to slowly literally become Lucas. It's all apart of his grand plan.

 

[RyanW]

Well the main blog is starwars.com

 

[Mr Cola]

Its on the official star wars blog, probably borrowed

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Daft Punk cameo confirmed.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Just please take it away from Trevorrow, please

They're from Johnsons twitter

They're talking about the production name for Episode VIII, "Space Bear"

Hidalgo says that Space Bear is his favorite codename by far, including the ones that we still don't know that are in development

The production name of Episode VIII was Space Bear. “Every time I saw that logo on official stuff, it made me so happy.” The logo was a panda wearing a helmet.

 

[Einchy]

Well the main blog is starwars.com

Oh, I thought that was making star wars.

 

[Tsunamo]

Interesting that Dave's on set. I'm not gonna try to read into that too much though.

 

[Mr Cola]

Gimme a name Rian, gimme a name

 

[Freewheelin']

Imagine how sensational it'll be when they reveal the name is Space Bear and Snoke is an Ewok

Episode VIII: Space Bear Strikes Back

I can dig it

 

[Mr Cola]

Lord and Miller coming on, prb the end of ep8 stuff

 

[Tsunamo]

2017 Year of the Space Bear has a nice ring to it.

 

[Mariolee]

Lord and Miller hype. Let's get Han Solo up in this.

 

[Metalmarc]

This seems pointless hot much new info than we already know

Well it isn't out for a year and a half

 

[shingi70]

The prequels didn't mess with the visual identify at all. We just a saw a different era when things were less Scrappy and utilitarian. The Clone Wars and Rebels shows the progression from the tech of the PT to the OT in design. Plus we never see what planets like Naboo or Alderan look like in the OT films.

 

[Mariolee]

Yeah, surprised no new title reveal.

 

[bananafactory]

These panels aren't just a channel for new info, most of their appeal is just to hear the creators talk about the process and share stories.

If that's the end of the VIII stuff I'm surprised they didn't show something from it to the crowd. I thought that's why they weren't streaming it. But they could still show something.

I think they may do at the end.

We got Thrawn. Anything else this weekend is a bonus.

 

[Blue Lou]

Bookmark this and haunt me in two years but the Han Solo project sounds like the worst one so far.

He loves the dichotomy of Han being both grumpy and optimistic at the same time

"I sort of relate to him," says Lord of Solo. "He doesn't want to do anything he's told. When he's told not to do something, he wants to do it more... But he's also unreasonably optimistic."

Sums him up pretty well honestly

 

[RyanW]

I could see something at the end so they're not taking away hype from the Han Solo talk. They did the same thing yesterday by waiting to announce the Rogue One DLC for Battlefront at the end of the panel

 

[obin_gam]

The title could come at the end of the ending ceremony.

Just like a big fat black billboard with the name in yellow. And then shuffle everyone out from there.

It does... but it's Kasdan and two of Hollywood's hottest-streak directors. Cautiously optimistic
