Watching Serenity.

Darth Vader vs. River Tam!

Gandalf totally can. The light shield that broke the balrog's weapon and the light from the staff are all sfx, but falling faster than a freefalling sword with a ten second head start? That fucker's magic.

I didn't even like Firefly/Serenity all that much, and I would cheerfully pay dollars to watch a series that was River Tam fighting different people every week.

You are not alone.


She would have made a great Sorry/Apsalar if a film had been made a few years ago.

Okay, so Kevin Hearne's new book HEIR TO THE JEDI (takes place after ANH) appears to make Kylo Ren's Crossguard lightsaber easier to understand.

Three crystals within the saber Luke has in the book, which if I'm not mistaken is Anakin's last one from ROTS (if not I'm willing to be corrected)...which means that Kylo Ren's crossguard saber almost certainly would have three itself to produce what we are seeing. It doens't put to rest the arguemnt of why it was constructed that way, or how it would work/not work...but it at least puts to rest the innards of the thing and how the original thought of it NEEDING to be split three ways through one crystal...it doesn't, it has three.

That's not how you spell "awesome".

The lightsaber Luke carries is indeed Anakin's from ROTS; however, (minor spoiler)

Spoiler

the lightsaber he takes apart to study belonged to a dead Rodian Jedi named Huulik.

Not that that fact refutes anything you said.

Cool, I was unaware of that.

It's official. Title for 1st stand alone film is Rouge One set for Dec 16, 2016.

And stars Felicity Jones so far.

Also some concept art showed at a recent event and even though we all associate "rogue" with Rogue Squadron...there was not an x-wing or pilot in sight.

Oh, and it will be the first film without a John Williams score, as Alexandre Desplat has been chosen to score it.

A source tells me that's because this movie will actually be a fictionalization of Sarah Palin's book Going Rogue. Felicity will play a thoroughly unqualified but incredibly popular candidate for Supreme Chancellor. Spoiler alert - she's a Sith.

YOSH!

You really do not want to be sitting toward the front of the theater without a raincoat and hat.

It would seem prudent not to. Indeed.

That....is actually pretty damn awesome! Too bad it was published on that most untrustworthy of days...

The next teaser trailer (which will be appearing May 1st with AGE OF ULTRON...and presumably online as well) has a point form of what we will apparently see from MakingStarWars.com

spoilered for those that want to see it fresh.

Spoiler

The teaser runs at about one minute and fifty seconds, just under two minutes.

What we will see:

Han, Leia, Artoo and Threepio.
A crashed Star Destroyer on the sand planet.
We do see Yavin in the teaser.
We see a shot of Finn with a blue lightsaber.
There is a shot of Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie), the chrome Stormtrooper, very briefly.
We do see Kylo Ren’s helmeted face.
We see Poe Dameron shoot down a TIE fighter.
A shot of Finn and Poe walking past one another at the base.
Rey is in a few shots, looking at TIEs overhead.
There is a shot of Poe Dameron, Artoo-Detoo, See-Threepio, and a CGI character (Rose).
BB-8 socketed in the back of an X-wing.
Kylo Ren’s Imperial shuttle flies by with TIE escorts to the Star Destroyer (it is the one MakingStarWars.net wrote about).
Star Destroyer(s).
The Falcon.
X-wing fighters flying in a V-shape formation.
Darth Vader’s (burned Endor) helmet sitting on a podium.
No Serkis.
No Luke.

Uh the coolest thing from this...DARTH VADER'S BURNED OUT HELMET FROM ROTJ ON A PODIUM! HOLY SHITSNACKS!

Also, the fact that BB-8 (the ball droid from the first teaser) is possibly the newer form of socketed droid for navigating fighters?

Finally caught up on STAR WARS REBELS.

Yeah, that was awesome. I'm in for S2.

[QuickTidal]

Since the Star Wars Celebration panel is happening...the info might start coming fast and furious today. As such, he is a poster with Kylo Ren, Chrome tropper Captain Phasma (rumoured to be Brienne of Tarth's Gwendoline Christie)...and what appears to be a new/updated Imperial Insignia? Also, rumour is that the new teaser trailer drops at Celebration...I'm keeping an eye out for leaks.

Update: Here is the livepanel stream link which starts in EDIT: Starts at 10AM Pacific time which is about 1hr15min from now. (heh, prior to the panel going live they are playing score music...it's getting me in the mood)

Apparently the teaser they show WILL be on the stream. Dunno if that's accurate though.
