Hope they go with puppets as well. They definitely work better than digital crap.

I see JJ couldn't resist getting in a dig about the weather in London though. Suck it up dude, Lucas had to put up with that shit too and look what he created.

Entered the competition anyway. Free entry here: https://www.omaze.com/digital-free-a...ethod-of-entry .

I've just entered as well, it's Star Wars after all, who in there right mind would turn this offer down if you're a fan of the franchise.

London's only a couple of hours away from where I live.

Well it depends on what mode of transport I take.

It's 3 hours by train which is the quickest way to get there for me.

I'm not sure about the London part though, Pinewood's in leafy Buckinghamshire. Or perhaps JJ just said London because he figured that that's the only UK city anyone's ever heard of.

Buckinghamshire is around 20-30 miles west of central London.

You're right, it's in that whole Slough/Uxbridge kinda area. Still wouldn't call it London though.

Come on, you guys are making those names up

Geoff D · 05-21-2014, 07:53 PM

Heck, Pinewood's not too far from Windsor, where the Queen's got a nice 'des res'. You Americans have heard of her, right? We all know the Queen over here.

Yeah that's true, it's not very Londoney.

She was in Prime Suspect, right?

She's awesome.

They must do because last time I checked the Americans love the royal family especially William & Kate.

Or maybe I'm just stereotyping haha!

Close enough haha!

Is that Tatooine? Ugh. Everyone is sick of Tatooine.

I think the reason everyone likes Empire Strikes back so much is because it's the only Star Wars movie that doesn't have anything to do with Tatooine.

You've just described my nightmare scenario.

Geoff D · 05-21-2014, 09:11 PM

Lucas said in the commentary that he'd have had Yoda bouncing alongside Luke if he'd had the tech back then. And what about those dark rumours that he was going to replace the OT puppet with CG? As with the young Han thing, thank **** someone talked him out of it.

aiman04 · 05-21-2014, 10:48 PM

You guys need to watch the prequels closely. There are many animatronics/puppets, maybe you can't distinguish them from the CGI?
