Lou, KY The LGA Episode VIII thread

I guess I'll start this thread...December 15, 2017 isn't too far away right?

We have a tease for EpVIII but nothing but a cast photo for Rogue One (when we get some more info I'll start that Rogue One thread )

 

Its never too early to hope for Mr. Billy D Williams to be in this episode. Man the story possibilities there! "my lil Nephew Benny did what now?" Or, "Rey? Well hello there! Hmm Hmm Hmm."

I still want Lando. Honestly, if eight starts with Luke taking the saber from rye saying "I got this" and then a jump cut to Billy Dee (and never mentioning the plot elements from seven), I'd be happy. Not that I didn't like seven. I just love Lando.

Actually, they can just mention Luke in the crawl. "With ray at his side Luke defeated the First Order and the mysterious Snoke. Meanwhile, Lando makes a sammich."

 

Bump for a movie title: Star Wars The Last Jedi (remember Jedi is both the singular and plural form). Was not expecting an announcement this soon.

So, say 20 years from now: how are we going to refer to this movie?

As in, "Phantom Menace, Clones, Sith, Star Wars, Empire, Jedi, Force Awakens, ... Jedi? Jedi 2? Last?" What will be our fan shorthand now? This is the hard question I am paid to ask.

 

Came here to post a link to the Vanity Fair photoshoot/article and it looks like I forgot to post the Ep VIII trailer. I must have forgotten in the chaos of my Orlando/Star Wars vacay.

Breathe...just breathe

 

Video of the Vanity Fair shoot

 

Some really cool stuff from the Vanity Fair article.

(An admiral with pink hair? Not in my New Republic Navy!)

 

She just wants to be cool like R2-KT.

 

Not a trailer but a lovely BTS look. Kinda like they did for Rogue One. Really gets me right in the feels.

 

Man, I miss Carrie.

 

Man I hope everyone is doing well.
I miss Carrie too... and Mr. Lucas. The adjustment to all of this for me has been almost impossible. We're talking my whole life since I was 21.. barely out of my teens and I was turning 60 when Mr. Lucas sold, plus the added life experiences associated with it all. It's been ... difficult. Threw me totally under the bus. A struggle for sure... And I've missed everyones company horridly. Hope to see many of you soon.

 

Darn Lucasfilm for trying to get me to watch sports again

I refuse to watch your sports ball, I'll just watch it online a couple minutes after.

 

Ha! Understood on that one Mr. Jedimika.

 

Needs more Billy Dee!
Maybe Lando is Snoke?

 

Your Snoke theory...is not very good.

Looks like a group of us will be in attendance at the 8:30 showing at Stoneybrook on Friday night if anyone else wants to join us. Other social activities, timing and specifics to be decided as it gets closer.

Just 1 more month! 12-15-17

 

It was great to see everyone. No spoilers or discussion but I thought I'd post that video of the filming locations. Skellig Michael is beautiful, I hope to make it there someday.

 

Thought I would see it once more on the big screen before Black Panther opens up and was pleasantly surprised that there was still a good turnout for a Sunday afternoon showing almost two months after release. There were about 15-20 people for a 1230 show. Not bad.
