ST The New Rumor Intellectual Thread of Seriousness for Sophisticated Discourse

He did speak about the first viewing with the Exec's but not the final.

 

Great Chewie impression

 

Exactly, I want to know what they thought of the FINAL cut. lol

However, it's probably lose lose in that instance.
If they love it and people are over hyped there's a chance for people getting let down. If they were meh to it it'd bring bad press.

 

New JJ video interview

Well Lucasfilm and Disney are pretty much the execs. It would be different if Abrams was directing a brand new property, but since he's tight with KK and Bob Iger, they won't be worried about that stuff at all.

 

Vader is one of my all-time favorite characters. They really need to move away from him though.

The early draft of Obi-Wan and Yoda returning was interesting in the sense that it mirrored Gandalf in LOTR but it would been a weak story in the end IMO particularly since it made Luke's arc a lot less meaningful.

 

I guess he was inspired by Natalie Dormer

 

I put this Luptita's thread what utter rubbish

It's The Mirror quoting The Sun, what more can we say?

Never look directly at the Sun. And never, ever look at the Sun in the Mirror.

 

Very apt!

Haha. Utter nonsense. Garbage newspaper.

 

It's a good job that we have so many Forum Members here with direct ties to the production that can dispute these claims straight off the bat

 

Nothing against John who seems like a cool guy but I rather listen/see Natalie in this case. Then again I could listen/watch Natalie read the phone book over pretty much anything!

 

It's a good job that we have so many Forum Members here who are aware of the dubious record of tabloids like the Sun and Mirror.

 

She was at D23. She's all over the TV spots and trailers. All of which came well after Abrams could have changed his mind and removed or replaced her work.

The only credentials needed to ignore this story is a little common sense.

 

It's a non story.

 

You think someone made it up? They said scenes were cut and she had to redo some of the dialogue. They have not dropped her entirely.

 

Gotta love the picture they used for Abrams in this article.


I actually think this might end up being true. Lupita's line deliveries as heard in the trailers have been pretty cringe-worthy, unfortunately (IMO).

 

Not all of the movie. Just the majority of her scenes.

 

No, they have not cut her out of the movie

 

Just let her in.

 

Redoing dialogue is a normal part of film making. Scenes being reworked and cut is a normal part of film making. The idea that a trim here and there is a story is ridiculous, and it's bizarre that people who have been following the production are going along with a tabloid narrative that is simply "let's try to slag off the Oscar winner"

Aside from anything else, the story makes no sense. "She struggled with the CG"? What do they even mean by that?

She has a pivotal role, if there was a problem with her performance, it would have been resolved long ago.
