Star Wars Ep 8: The Last Jedi

Since the next title was just officially announced so we can get started speculating and tearing it apart nice and early. http://www.starwars.com/news/the-of...-wars-episode-viii-revealed?cmp=smc|785924754


You think it'll be about blowing up another Death Star?

 

So, when a new director comes in and writes an episode, can they write whatever they want and take the story in the direction they want?

 

I'm sure there's some guidelines dictated by the official canon storyline that need to be adhered to for continuity, and I'd imagine Disney has to give their final approval as well. Not sure if they still consult with George Lucas.

 

Who wrote the official canon storyline? Do we already know how it ends? Can you tell I'm not a Star Wars nerd?

 

They have the main story written, but no it is not released, they are keeping it secret of course. The director is responsible for telling their part of the story in their vision.

Disney wrote this trilogy, but they did consult with Lucas. They are picking and choosing what parts of the "old" stories they want to use.

 

Not even close.

The director's job is to bring the vision of the producers, writers, etc. to the screen. With a property like Star Wars, I would expect they would have very little influence on the story arc itself.

The Mouse is running the show here, for sure.

 

Not if they know what's good for them, they don't......

 

So there is no one author who gets the credit and bragging rights about having written the story? Some guy at Disney wrote that and can't even use it to get chicks at comic con? That's almost depressing.

 

Oh, the nerds will know who wrote which part, they have all kinds of nerdly spies and nerd network. Ask Dart, he'll be able to tell you that shit.

 

They probably had to. I have an inside source that told me it was originally to be "Star Wars VIII: How Leia Got Her Groove Back".

....It is a dark time for Leia's love life...

The good guys win.

 

Mark my words - if they freeze FN in carbonite and have him carried away by race of midget pig women, I'm done.

 

The good guys lost in Empire. The good guys lost their lives in Rogue One. All of them.

 

He asked about the very ending. Good guys always win in the end, especially with Disney.

 

I certainly hope that it is truly the last of the Jedi and whole kit and caboodle.

 

Yeah, it'll be some rebel vs. empire, blowin' chit up, with good guys winning in the end. Doubt Disney could get away with making a movie about Wookies sodomizing Ewoks

 

If that porn parody doesn't already exist, production will be starting soon enough.

 

Is this about Han Solo? As in it's a story about his life before the rebellion?

If so this is jumping the shark and a damned shame because the last one was actually pretty damn entertaining.

NASCAR did the same thing, used to be about a bunch of guys getting together and racing fast in GD circle. Then we had to start seeing what time Jr gets up to piss in the morning.

 

The girl is the last Jedi. Luke will die.

 

No, this one continues the saga about the Skywalkers. The Han Solo movie comes out in 2018.
