Star Wars: The Force Awakens (12/18/15)

[greedo737]

Tracy Morgan is the star of the new trilogy.

I'm gettin' that soccer ball robot pregnant!

[greedo737]

Hell yeah! "There goes Astronaut Jones!!"

Spoiler

I would be upset if they killed off Han so early, but I could see them doing it.

 

[Magpie 7]

So the Ewok fur will be grey to black in this one?


_____

It will be after the Stormtroopers burn their village to the ground

 

[Sidewinder]

What do people expect Han to be like though? I mean we're talking about a man more than 30 years older. He would seem a little ridiculous bring the same scoundrel he was in the original films at his age.

Luke is the only one I really see fitting in as an old, wise Jedi, much like Obi-Wan was.

Please use spoiler tags regardless if they are rumors. They're there for a reason.

Setting: Tattooine Bar. It's a bustling scene with varying elements both alien and terrestrial. A lone figure cloaked in a black-hooded cape slowly walks into the bar. Out of his left hand he reveals a light saber. The figure turns the light saber on, revealing a light sword with two small lights bounding out horizontally.
The hooded figure removes his hood. It's Astronaut Jones!
All the people in the bar stop their conversations and look towards Astronaut Jones, waiting for him to strike.
Astronaut Jones exclaims, "I'm gettin' everyone pregnant tonight!"

‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’: Opening Sequence Details Revealed?

Spoiler

In their latest report, Making Star Wars states that the film’s opening sequence will take place in a “savannah environment,” where a villager named Naka stumbles across a lightsaber that has fallen from the sky. Accidentally activating the weapon, Naka starts a fire in his home. Startled, he brings the lightsaber to a character referred to as “The Vicar” (allegedly Max Von Sydow’s character), who is Naka’s elder. The Vicar contacts the Rebel Alliance shortly after seeing the lightsaber, which brings Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) to the planet.

Poe takes the lightsaber from the Vicar, but learns that the Empire is also at the location (either by following the pilot or intercepting the Vicar’s transmission). Dameron hides the lightsaber inside of BB-8 (the soccer ball droid) and prepares to battle the Imperial forces while the robot flees the scene.

It’s during this sequence that we will also meet Finn (John Boyega), who is part of the stormtrooper legion that arrives at the savannah planet to retrieve the lightsaber. As has been reported before, Finn loses his best friend in the battle and proves to be too kindhearted for the Empire. The final straw is apparently when Finn allows innocent villagers to escape the confrontation, which leads to Kylo Ren (the cross guard lightsaber wielding villain) placing Finn under arrest and burning the village to the ground. Finn is taken to the brig of a Star Destroyer, where he meets Poe.

The duo form a mutually-beneficial partnership in order to escape. Finn never learned to fly, so he needs the pilot Poe to get him out of this situation; however, he possesses knowledge of the brig’s schematics, which will allow the two to escape the ship. They scheme to steal a TIE fighter, which will seemingly set the core plot in motion.

Anyone who has been following the recent storyline rumors for The Force Awakens will note some striking similarities between this new development and what has been made public before. The descriptions of how Finn and Poe fit into the opening sequence play in line with what we’ve already heard (Finn is a good guy gone AWOL, they end up on an Imperial brig and concoct an escape plan, etc.). The only chief difference is that Rey (Daisy Ridley) seems to be absent from these first moments, when earlier she was rumored to have a key part in getting Finn and Poe out before the trio meet up with Han Solo.
Star Wars Force Awakens BB8 Star Wars: The Force Awakens: Opening Sequence Details Revealed?

BB-8 in ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’

What does seem to be confirmed by this, however, is Rey’s supposed role as protector of the lightsaber, which is believed to be a tool that can open an ancient Sith tomb. It’s been reported that BB-8 belongs to her, so it seems very possible that the little droid is taking the weapon to his master in order to keep it out of the Empire’s hands. Kylo Ren is said to be on the hunt for artifacts like the lightsaber so he can open the tomb (which Luke is away guarding), so his inclusion in the opening makes sense as well.

Abrams may say that certain rumors aren’t true, but it is becoming increasingly likely that this is indeed how The Force Awakens will begin. We’ve heard elements of this report too many times prior for us to chalk it up as being merely hearsay. And honestly, the movie’s teaser trailer seems to play in line with this theorized sequence, since it included several scenes that looked like they could be part of what’s being reported (BB-8 frantically rolling to his destination, Rey speeding away, etc.).

What happens when the youngsters fly away with Han remains to be seen, but now we probably know how their adventure begins.

Luke Skywalker (only a few minutes of screen time?)

Spoiler

MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW THIS POINT!



The heroes suffer a great blow when they lose their mentor figure [Han Solo]. But after a great duel with Rey and Finn versus Kylo Ren, the heroes return back to the base as heroes. At this point, it becomes clear that their current adventure together has come to an end.



We follow our main hero, Rey as she says goodbye to the important players in the film, Leia, Poe, and so on. Meanwhile BB-8, Artoo-Detoo, and See-Threepio decode a puzzle. Rey makes a special stop to say goodbye to Finn in the medical bay.



Rey, Chewbacca, and BB-8 then get into the Falcon and take off. Chewbacca playfully messes up her hair in an endearing gesture. Things are going to be alright, is what the Wookiee is trying to say, as far as I can tell.



I imagine like all Star Wars films, the end is silent with music playing. That’s just my take though. But it seems likely here. They fly away to a new planet and the Falcon lands.



Rey walks up the stone steps. She comes up to a figure and puts the Lightsaber in his hand. Its Luke Skywalker.







That’s it. That’s Luke’s involvement in the entire movie according to that report.

 

[teemu]

Luke in this for 2 seconds? sounds like this thing is for 'on demand' home viewing watch only....

 

[pixletwin]

Sounds legit.... Not. :

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

I think Tracy Morgan started that rumour.

 

[Brainiac]

Sounds legit.... Not. :

I put my full faith in it being ********

 

[Rorywan]

What was Hamill doing in the UK and Ireland for so long? Smells of Gungan poodoo.

[RIDDICK]

If there's only a few seconds of Luke I'll skip it.
Seeing Mark Hamill being a bad ass mentor is the only reason for me to be slightly excited for this film.

 

[Cixx]

IF it's true, i can only see it as being a stepping stone to a much larger role in EP8. But, huge grain of salt.

 

[Johnny Utah]

I don't give a **** about the new characters. Gimme all OT characters.

the times they are a changin

You will have to wait until they start using look-a-like synthetics in movies to get the Episode 7 you want and then you can actually have living collectibles and make your own Star Wars, exactly how you want it
