Benedict Cumberbatch was on the set of Star Wars. He has even admitted it. Though, he said that he's just meeting up with his buddy Simon Pegg.
Good eye and memory. I forgot Hoth was more like a snowy desert. That planet feels just as mystical as Dagobah... Place of the rebirth of a dark side perhaps ?
He tends to lie. He's quite the tease that way. Proper Geek he is. With all his vocal ability, he's perfect for Star Wars. I may be wrong, but it is by no means a stretch of the imagination.
He's not in it, they announced the official cast ages ago, and we already knew Cumberbatch was in Star Trek just not his role.
I agree with you, they do look like they aren't CGI in that scene, will look far better than they did in the prequels.Not Boyega
I thought it looked badass, but the hilt was too ridiculousI agree with you, they do look like they aren't CGI in that scene, will look far better than they did in the prequels.
Made me laugh when I saw the lightsaber though, it looked like it was malfunctioning
The originals had that perfect mix of seriousness and cartoonishness, to please the adults and children. Hopefully it will be the same.
I doubt he's a storm trooper, probably in disguise. Or if he is, he's running away after seeing the light?
Official casts mean nothing my friend. If you're going to surprise an audience are you going to put the name in the official cast?
Not sure about the flashback now. Just had a look at the scenes a ANH and although the costume looks very similar there are a number of difference to the pilot costume in the trailer. Just seems a bit strange that there's a new Rebel Alliance? I'd have thought that after Return of the Jedi they'd have restored the Republic. Unless they simply kept the logo of the alliance as a reminder to the Alliance struggle.
I think they mean a hell of a lot.
I agree.
I agree to all of this. I laughed at the lightsaber but it was fricking awesome to be fair, much like I thought Darth Maul's was.
That's mindblowing theory. If fallen Empire will manage to decimate new found Jedi Academy by any chance this may be the reason to restore old X-Wing squads with most experienced pilots and veterans from previous wars. Wild stuff but would make some sense. I assume the best pilot in the oldschool Rebellion, Wedge Antilles still has it... that would be simply an epic appearance. Colossal win for the franchise.
No reason for them to change their logo just because they're no longer rebelling against anyone
I did sound quite feminine, looking back at it. Where's that pic from?First thing that came to mind reading this post:
Yeah, kind of makes sense that if the Imperials are still about that they'd be trying to do terrorist type attacks. Hitting Yavin 4 would be a great place to start! Could also provide the "dark" themes of the film that Hamill has suggested.Star Wars Wiki said:
My apologies!
Say whatever you want. It's probably quite silly... but damn does it look cool!
I'd be surprised if we did considering the lack of Sith and Jedi. Can't be that many Jedi floating about. Perhaps a brawl between Luke and this new fella? Could Luke be killed off in the first movie?
Even in a world where Ewoks helped defeat the Empire, this seems silly.
The odds are stacked against him! First movie of both trilogies had one thing in common - Legendary Jedi falls.
You mean teddy bears with spears defeating trained troopers weilding tech way ahead of their time is less sillier than a lightsabre with two extra blades to the sides? Okay then... I guess I'll disagree.
Oh yeah baby!!
Exactly... It is based on the Teutonic Swords of the Middle Ages. I'm clutching at straws here, but the middle ages were the period with the most battles between "Light" and the "dark", depending which religion considered to be what in each of their perspectives.
Almost hard as flying into a Death Star and having that much of space from every side of the tunnel.
Yeah it's stupid.
