    More EU stuff making its way into the films. Yay!

    If this is accurate, Hondo Ohnaka needs to be a part of this.

    Yeah? What EU stuff, exactly?
    Space pirates are a general kind of thing, EU didn't invent the concept, y'know.

    The descriptions sound interesting, I'm all for it. We've never actually seen pirates in a SW movie and now's a nice opportunity.

    Brings to mind how in Adventures of the Starkiller, the Sith are described as "pirates" hired by the Empire and trained to use The Force by a fallen Jedi. Perhaps they've decided to reuse that concept?

    Maybe he meant "Montross", who existed as concept art and in early drafts long before he became a Mandalorian in the comics.

    Sounds cool.

    For some reason, all I kept picturing in my mind's eye when reading Jason's article were the Ice Pirates!

    Anyone else remember that one? I remember how I used to love watching that film as a kid. :D

    Funny-I had the idea of space pirates in my original ideas as well as them being mentioned in the opening crawl.

    So, anyone think they'll be played by any of the main cast? Von Sydow was mentioned. What about Isaac? Gleeson? One of the ladies?

    I would love to see the pirates look in terms of wooden ships on water in Star Wars.

    My guess: These characters are probably just background characters to fill up a cantina scene or something

    "During one of his lessons a young PADAWAN-JEDI, a boy named Darklighter, came to know the evil half of the force, and fell victim to the spell of the dreaded Bogan. He ran away from his instructor and taught the evil ways of the Bogan Force to a clan of Sith pirates, who then spread untold misery throughout the systems. They became the personal bodyguards of the Emperor. The Jedi were hunted down by these deadly Sith knights. With every Jedi death, contact with the Ashla grows weaker, and the force of the Bogan grows more powerful."

    - Adventures of the Starkiller (second draft of ANH)

    I always found that interesting. Seeing that onscreen would bring a smile to my face.

    This movie's equivalent of ESB's bounty hunters, probably.

    I read a post somewhere (sorry don't remember where, think it was reddit/starwars but not sure) about them looking for an apparently large number of people with 'interesting looks', the poster apparently auditioned but got shafted because he had shaved off his beard the day before his callback. This was back in June or July. So this pirate business seems like a legit part of the story, not just cantina scene decoration. It doesn't fit with any of the known story spoilers so far though. Which is only interesting.

    They surely made appearances all over the SW universe. I just remember the droids cartoon, and the Mysteries of the Sith videogame.

    That's a silly argument and you know it.

    The pirates as a concept appeared at some point in EU, but not exactly these pirates. It's silly that this even needs to be argued over.

    From the original post I got the impression that it was a sarcastic remark from someone not being happy about potential EU stuff being included.

    I misinterpreted and I apologise :)

    Pretty sure they are making this stuff up just to get hits.Why they never post pics.If they source wanted no pick leaked they would just have discribed things to them and told them to leak that.

    Because if they posted the pics their source would lose their job/career/life? They aren't making this stuff up.

    Actually I kinda had Christina Chong pegged for some sort of local riff raff that has a problem with the heroes. So she could easily be one of the pirates. She filmed in Abu Dhabi and filmed towards the end of production when they were adding more Tatooine shots.

    There were reports that after Sydow talks with the heroes, he makes a call to someone. One theory was the called Han Solo, another is that he called the Imperials. But if he couldn't make a deal at the auction house for the lightsaber, he might just try and get it via other means.

    He said Robert Carlyle. Now I'll be disappointed if Robert Carlyle isn't in TFA. [face_sigh]
