Star Wars Megathread Episode IV: A New Thread: UNTAGGED SPOILERS? 1 WEEK BAN - Film, Television and Music

[QUOTE=-Ben_Wolfe-;52271180]Can we please get a Bothan character in one of the mainstream films though? I don't know why they shy away from them in everything but novels and comics.[/QUOTE] Were they ever mentioned in the movies apart from in that line about many of them dying to get the death star plans before ROTJ? Because if not I'd be worried that when we do see them all they'll be shown doing is dying to get plans :v:

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52270770]Before anyone asks about that familiar looking alien in the Vanity Fair shoots [img]http://i.imgur.com/xsJanhj.png[/img][/QUOTE] With the way the filmmakers continue to strive for original creature design, I'm almost willing to bet we'll NEVER see an OT/PT character in background crowds that isn't an established character. Yeah yeah, it's a bit galaxy, but I'm still feeling alienated they don't want to put one familiar alien in there. Not one Rosina or Twi'lek, even?

[QUOTE=Bread_Baron;52268888]Yeah, because Finn stole Poe Dameron's clothes.[/QUOTE] Then who stole Lando's clothes?

[QUOTE=Mr._N;52275698]Then who stole Lando's clothes?[/QUOTE] Donald Glover.

I'm writing an article on unnecessary or strange Star Wars stories, could you guys give any suggestions? Legends or Canon or entirely Non-Canon, it's all fair game except for the Holiday Special which is pretty obvious. So far I've got George R. Binks and Star Wars Infinities: A New Hope, I could use three more.

It's not an official part of the Star Wars franchise, though, and that's what I'm writing about. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

[QUOTE=Darth_Kris;52278441]What about that comic where the Millenium Falcon crashes on Earth[/QUOTE] The one where Indiana Jones finds the crash and Chewie is the sasquatch? Yeah, that one might work!

[QUOTE=Y U NO OBJECT;52278847][URL="https://imgur.com/a/kWIUH"]The Last Jedi LEGO sets have leaked[/URL][/QUOTE] [sp]That doesn't look like either of the walkers in TFA, huh. The front legs have something on them, armour?[/sp] [editline]26th May 2017[/editline] This image isn't an Episode 8 spoiler, it is Episode 7 stuff. Finally get a clearer image of the second type of Walker that was on Starkiller base. This is the one you see walking on the snow fields in a couple of the really wide shots.

Caravan of Courage? [editline]26th May 2017[/editline] Not terribly strange but quite unnecessary.

[QUOTE=Y U NO OBJECT;52278847][URL="https://imgur.com/a/kWIUH"]The Last Jedi LEGO sets have leaked[/URL][/QUOTE] So this confirms the rumour that [sp]Snoke will be wearing a gold outfit in this film. Not sure if it's significant but the minifig isn't so pale either, even Rey's has lighter skin.[/sp]

Looks like [sp]The Resistance's bombing fighter is a continuation of the B-Wing. I was hoping for a Y-Wing revamp but oh well.[/sp]

the thing i love about the good guy set is that [sp]with the turret pods and front cockpit window style it seems to continue the proud design tradition of "WW2 in SPACE!".[/sp]

Is that an [sp]evil BB-8[/sp]?

[QUOTE=Flicky;52278499]The one where Indiana Jones finds the crash and Chewie is the sasquatch? Yeah, that one might work![/QUOTE] The one where leia sees the creation of the universe itself. That was a one shot iirc

I'm glad Laura Dern's character is going to be more than some uptight no action senator

I need to see if there are others. Is someone else bothered how Poe is basically wearing Han Solo's clothes? I don't know... It just feels wrong and lazy. Oh, Han is dead, let's put our young replacement in the same outfit.

Yeah, it doesn't bug me as much since that's an already established fashion trend in Star Wars.

Some (allegedly) BF2 stuff has leaked over the last couple days. Character screen [t]https://i.imgur.com/jhk94j2.png[/t] 2 seconds of SP gameplay [url]https://i.gyazo.com/6dae16a59f1eba6b454cb339dafa05a6.mp4[/url] [t]https://i.redd.it/2926pl8iu80z.png[/t] [editline]29th May 2017[/editline] Also, Rian Johnson is saying when LucasFilm approached him for Episode 8, there was no mapped story beyond TFA.

That clone trooper though oh man

Why are his arms so tiny
