The NZA Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Dec. 15, 2017 disney said so on twitter that's all we got wait no that's not true Today, Disney and Lucasfilm announced that Star Wars: Episode VIII, originally scheduled for release in summer 2017, will now debut on December 15, 2017. The move follows the extraordinary success of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which was the first Star Wars movie to premiere outside the traditional summer blockbuster window and smashed numerous records, including biggest domestic and global debuts of all time as well as the biggest domestic second and third weekends, en route to becoming the highest grossing domestic release of all time with over $861.3 million and the third biggest global release ever with $1,886.7 billion. Written and directed by Rian Johnson, Star Wars: Episode VIII is currently in preproduction and will begin principal photography in London next month. Kathleen Kennedy and Ram Bergman will produce and J.J. Abrams, Jason McGatlin, and Tom Karnowski will executive produce. Stay tuned for exciting updates in the coming weeks.

Keth Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I wanna see more humanizing of Storm Troopers. That was one of the coolest things in the last movie to see one have a personality. Plus it would be cool to see more defectors. I'm hard pressed to believe that there aren't more willing to join the resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crix Madine, the Alliance General in RoTJ was a former Imperial officer. Or was it ESB? In any case he had just a bit part and his past was only revealed outside the movies, so I'm not sure how much it counts. But for sure defections were a big part of the alliance in the period of the first three movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbie Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Laura Dern and Benicio Del Toro have joined the Episode 8 cast. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/film/star-wars-episode-8/cast-plot-rumours-spoilers/ So that solves the mystery of Luke's lightsaber. The Collector gave it to Maz Kanata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Nemo McFly Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 It'd be cool if Luke goes to back to using his original lightsaber and gives his 'new one' (ROTJ lightsaber) to Rey. It'd be super cool to see both iconic lightsabers in an action sequence together. Super fanboy moment if Luke goes all-out and keeps / uses both.

Mr. Hakujin Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Double-fisted lightsaber wielding Jedi badass Luke Skywalker in Episode VIII? Yes please. I also want Rey to use a Darth Maul style saber; it makes sense since she is so well trained with a staff already from her time on Jakku.

Jumbie Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) What Rey knew on Jakku is irrelevant. It may even be counterproductive. First, she must unlearn. Edited February 16, 2016 by Jumbie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
