Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (USE SPOILER TAGS!)

[BozQ]

I think most already knew Episodes VIII and XI will be released in 2017 and 2019.

Will be interesting to see who will succeed Rian Johnson to direct Episode XI.

I thought both VIII and IX will be written and directed by Rian Johnson?

This movie is even more anticipated than that Cow cartoon they did last decade.

I think it was a pic of Kylo Ren with his crossguard saber.
A pic of him circulated a month before the trailer hit in Nov.

The image is linked to here. Guess it hasn't been removed from imageshack yet. I've seen numerous renders of this character now. I guess the backlash has to do with the timing of the leak or perhaps all sources are being sought out.

Ah yes, welcome to the new Hollywood where we sue over everything since no movie ever makes money. Damn that internet, they should do something about it.

I bet there are some people who reckon this is merely another step in LFL's elaborate disinformation campaign, just to make us THINK that we're getting actual spoilers.

Reverse disinformation - Childhood ruined.

He is writing and directing Episode VIII and writing Episode IX. He hasn't decided if he would direct IX. The director's chair is still open.

I honestly wouldn't mind Rian Johnson or anyone else taking the spot. I'm always excited to see a movie directed by different filmmakers to see what they can bring to the table. Personally, I hope someone else directs XI. Lucasfilm has been very open in hiring different directors, with Gareth Edwards and Josh Trank directing standalone films. So why stop there?

Ugh all that trailer made me want to do is watch TPM. I've either don't care for the others or have watched them en-finitem, but it's been a while since I've viewed TPM.

Some new details regarding certain characters in TFA have been revealed.

[Show spoiler]

The implication is that basically Rey and Luke go into hiding at exactly the same time for the same reason.

She is the daughter of Han and Leia and she’s tasked with protecting a lightsaber that can open a proverbial Pandora’s Box of evil.

Artifacts being sought after by Kylo Ren are collected because they’re trying to figure out which artifact will open the tomb. Luke Skywalker is guarding the tomb and being tormented by evil spirits that appears half crazed from the duty he’s been on.

(Domhnall Gleeson) was a rebel for many years and he’s the son of “a huge character.” But he defected to the Empire when he learned that the Rebels had constructed a super weapon in secret. With less than honorable people in the Rebel Alliance now, Gleeson’s character is tasked with hunting Finn while also on a secret mission to destroy both super weapons of the Empire and the Rebels.

(Gwendoline Christie) is his lead shock trooper. She’s a chrome trooper with black and red cape that is hunting Finn. She uses a lightsaber, is arrogant, demeaning, and kills indiscriminately. Her face is heavily scarred and she has a military haircut. Yes, the ability to cloak herself did come up and it supposedly is used twice in the movie.

Luke is in hiding during much of The Force Awakens. He has put himself in a self imposed exile and is protecting an ancient Sith tomb from being opened by the main bad guy, Kylo Ren.

It is true that a simple lightsaber leads the trio to Han but what isn’t mentioned is that Han is extremely reluctant to allow his daughter to be part of this plan.

This source believes Rey is Han Solo’s daughter. Over the course of the film we learn she is in love with Poe and Han Solo does not approve. There is a scene which shows Finn trying to shoot a blaster and he is awful – it’s a little in-joke about how inept Stormtroopers were in the Original Trilogy.

They say that Finn’s family was murdered by The Empire and he was forced into recruitment along with his best friend. His best friend is killed in the opening sequence of the film in front of Finn. This role is rumored to be played by (Pip Andersen). It is shortly after this scene that he meets his likely next best friend for life, Poe.

Finn and Poe end up in an imperial brig after being caught.

Finn instantly dislikes Poe. But being in the brig they concoct a plan to steal a TIE Fighter. Meanwhile Rey fast-talks a guard and steals his keycard to break them out.

Finn and company steal an advanced TIE and unfortunately it crashes, injuring Finn.

There is a scene in the bar where Finn uses a lightsaber to deflect laser blasts at him and Rey says she thinks Finn has found his calling.

They also note that Finn is a total pacifist. He doesn’t fight those that killed his family but this is the pathway to Finn being able to defend the people he loves.

(Max von Sydow) A former Rebel Alliance veteran now dealing in antiquities – very much like a SW version of Brody from Indiana Jones. It turns out that Rey has a lightsaber which holds information vital to the rebellion and this is hidden inside BB-8.

The old guy reveals to Rey that the crystal in the lightsaber they are holding has the ability to open the tomb Luke is guarding. If accurate, this could explain why the lightsaber is so important and why our heroes only have one while on the sand planet in the depictions I’ve seen.

Rey’s last name: Her real name is revealed through Han Solo much to the surprise of Finn and Poe.

Earlier release than December?

[Canada]

The question I would think Disney would be asking themselves is would it make any sense to Disney pit Avengers: Age of Ultron vs Star Wars: The Force Awakens considering they own both franchises?

[MechaGodzilla]

Very interesting. Well, I sure wouldn't complain about getting it earlier if that was possible.

I don't buy it...There's no way. The summer is already incredibly staked. Disney has two movies in May, one in June, and one in July. It wouldn't make sense, plus Abrams originally wanted to push this back to next May, there's no way he wants to rush this now to get it out earlier. It doesn't make any logical sense for anyone involved.
