McQuarrie:
“I think Artoo was just described as a small robot. I thought of him as running on a giant ball bearing — just a sphere, a circle, wheel-like. He had gyros so he could go in any direction on this ball.”

Not too hard to see where BB8 came from?

Sounds like McQuarrie was simply describing his drawing:

That picture does indeed show R2 "running on a giant ball bearing." But BB-8 WAS a giant ball bearing with a free standing head on top. Big difference as the end result is a completely different shape.

If your whole point is that JJ used some of McQuarrie's concepts as inspiration just like George Lucas well yeah, I don't know that anyone has ever claimed differently. But BB-8 as he appeared on screen was never drawn or described by McQuarrie and his final design isn't anything that can be attributed to Lucas.

Well then, if Disney has banned all PT characters/concepts/environments, they can go **** themselves over and over and over and over again until all that is left is a great big ******* hole to there brain where one can shove the PT movies through there ass and into there brain so that they remember the PT.

There it is.

 

[NASEDO]

At this point the PT is 1000x better then that garbage TFA. And to whomever said Lucas has a lack of detail...your crazy.

But you will be killed off by a whiny brat.

But you will be killed off by a whiny brat.

Same could be said for Obi Wan if you're a prequel fan.

(pssst...I AM!)

 

[Prime Clone]

Yes, Kylo is a third-generation whiner.

 

[cmiller99]

Yes, Kylo is a third-generation whiner.

Leia and Han weren't whiners.

It skipped a generation in his case.

Maybe the best evidence of Rey not being a Skywalker is her lack of self-pity in the face of extraordinary power and good fortune.

 

[kryptonianmutie]

It's hard to self pity when you can do everything.

 

[Khev]

I wonder who'd win in a fight between Rey and Russo Cap.

 

[YoNoSe]

It's hard to self pity when you can do everything.

Every single "chosen one" narrative says otherwise.

(I don't know if that's technically true but it feels "internet debate" true.)

 

[cmiller99]

I wonder who'd win in a fight between Rey and Russo Cap.

I think the bigger question is who of the two you would root for.

 

[kryptonianmutie]

I wonder who'd win in a fight between Rey and Russo Cap.

If they had a baby it would be as powerful as a Celestial or the Beyonder.

[EVILFACE]

Just reinforces the fact that JJ is a hack without an original bone in his body. Shame on him. But worse, shame on any and all who praise his work.

 

[Prime Clone]

Hey, it's all one big Skywalker family innit?

 

[Wor-Gar]

must see again...
