It really does. Chrome is such a practical look for armor...not feeling the new Stormies right now

Practical or impractical? The trooper would spend most of their day just polishing up the armor. ;) And I hope the lenses have an adaptive tint, otherwise they'll all blind each other.

BRING IT!



The chrome troopers do not actually wear a hood or covering in the film. The metal collar stands up from the torso armor and curves up on the sides before dipping down again at the back.
We’ll never post rumors as genuine news or fact here, but we love nothing more than to speculate with you! Let’s take a few leaps and try to guess how this guy may fit in: A couple sources have expressed that the chrome troopers are a private security force for Adam Driver’s character – silver mercenary rent-a-cops rather than true Imperial Forces for Adam Driver’s character. While we’ve not heard this from anyone directly, the most abundant rumor about Driver is that he’s a wealthy aristocrat with an interest in Sith artifacts. So is this (design) just a natural result of bringing the prequels’ Doug Chiang back as production designer lead concept artist.

So, is he the relative of Count Dooku we've been hearing about?

I to want to go into the movie with surprise's. But for that to happen i need to like see some character names and a few pics of the OT cast in costume then i can MAYBE dip off the radar.

Hot Toys will be all over these with the "die cast" theme!
 
Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (12/18/15) Discussion Thread

Please, I really hope there are no nods or links back to the PT directly. Via references in the OT is fair game, but that's it. PLEASE.

Nice!

And the new mini protocol droids are super sweet too!

wpid-received_m_mid_1411595747093_51d0766334e4eb8497_0.jpeg Several Episode VII action sequences presumably seen on a few pre-vis materials…
- the sequence was set on a planet like ‘a cross between Hoth and Endor’ – tall trees capped with snow and snow covered ground.

- the Millennium Falcon was parked on a cliff above the wooded area, with a Jedi and Sith (both male) battling uphill towards the Falcon. The scene was oddly lit, possibly suggestive of the Falcon being on fire.

- a further scene, set in a clearing on this same planet, showed an older male Jedi and male Sith – his head bare and lower face covered by a half mask ‘reminiscent of CA’s Winter Soldier’ – squaring off before a duel. The poster said the scene had a ‘Samurai movie feel’, and was under the impression that the male Jedi was Luke.

- the poster seemed to think that SW7 will be massively scaled down, with limited Jedi and Sith (two or three) and little to no sign of the massed battles of the PT.

- finally, the poster described a female Jedi exiting a crashed X-wing like craft, lightsaber drawn and ready to fight. Not sure if this was on the same planet.

Someone is going to build a huge moon-sized station intended for creating planets. Someone else will take it over and turn it into a weapon. There will be a tiny weakness in its design. Someone else will invent a modem that can upload midichlorians to the station. That's where I stopped reading the script.

Oh, and Ewoks.

Dooku was not something I hated about the PT, if there is a Dooku connection I will deal.
 
Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (12/18/15) Discussion Thread

Yeah Christopher Lee was awesome as Dooku. Shame the film around him blew.

Jango and Obi-Wan aside.
 
Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (12/18/15) Discussion Thread

I've said this before, but I thought Lee was awful in the PT. And I love Christopher Lee. He seemed like he was flubbing his lines at times.
 
Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (12/18/15) Discussion Thread

I feel he is one of the few saving graces of those films. If you take away the decent performances by him, McGregor, Neeson, Park, and the guy playing Palpatine, then I struggle to find anything positive to say about them.
 
Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (12/18/15) Discussion Thread

I don't allow the prequels to be viewed in my home but they're not going away. If their only obligatory reference to those piles of **** is making the bad guy a descendant of Dooku then we'll be doing good.

Concept art of the duel looks awesome.
