Off Topic Rogue One - A Star Wars Story

There's a difference between 'commonly known' or 'rumoured' and 'official'. You might want to learn that.

It was never announced by Marvel he'd be in it until he appeared in that trailer. Go back and check the offical Sony/Marvel announcement.

No mention of Civil War at all.


I'm off to watch some films.

 

Anybody else see the trailer for the new film Criminal?

Isn't that exactly the same plot Karl Pilkington came up with? Bryan's Brain, starring Clive Warren and Rebecca DeMournay.

 

Its good its just a teaser trailer so we will get much more in depth ones soon.

 

I think - and I'm guessing here - the point he is making is Vadar could easily have as much screen time as Luke did in episode 7.

 

Anything is possible but it makes a lot of sense that he will get a heck of a lot more than Luke got in episode 7. After all there is a lot of money to be made by giving him a good amount of screen time.

 

Fairly sure Jones has been confirmed as doing the voice work already.

 

I'm not suggesting anything, I was merely saying what I thought he meant.

I don't know why people are discussing who might and might not be in it, just wait 8 months and watch it.

 

Didn't Obi Wan say at the end of Episode 3 that he would go and watch over Baby Luke on Tattooine? So assuming he did that, any film set between then and Episode 4 would just be a guy getting old, living a quiet life on a desert planet. What am I missing?

 

Vadar and the Emperor couldve been looking for Luke in that time and there might have been some confrontations. Nothing was really said about that period was it?

 

It's established that Luke didn't leave Tattooine until coming of age in Episode 4. Assuming Obi Wan did watch over him the entire time, he can't have left either. Tattooine was always depicted as far away from the problems with the Empire/Republic in previous films. It'd cheapen things a bit if somehow they decided that confrontations actually took place there in between films.

 

I think you're taking 'watch over him' a bit too literally. I cant imagine someone like Obi Wan wouldnt leave Tattooine at all for 16 years.

 

As a jedi he wouldn't. But he became an old recluse. I think he's referred to in the film as a hermit. He'd lived as a jedi but that was all destroyed. What was he gonna do? Remember the new empire would have wanted to kill any jedi they came across, it's not like he could freely travel across the galaxy like before. Like yoda he went into hiding and made a point of going where Luke was going.

 

It's not speculation though. Vader is in it.

 

But leia knows to go looking for him. Why would the rebellion place such weight in seeking out a crazy old hermit unless he'd shown modicum of support for the rebellion.

Make a movie ten years post sith, have an early rebel cell make contact with an agent, code name Ben who helps them defeat an imperial inquisitor or what have you and there you go.

 

I never said whether it was speculation or not. I've got literally zero opinion on this, I cant influence it and I'll wait and see what the director does with the film. I dont understand why are people discussing it? Talking about who might and might not be in it is completely pointless, just wait and watch the film.

 

Leia's adopted father on Alderaan knew Obi Wan before the collapse of the Republic. She didn't ask for Old Ben, she asked for Obi Wan, because they knew that he was one of the last remaining jedi.

I don't think they will at all, but if they did make a film about Obi Wan being all badass between episodes 3 and 4 it'd be mental. Totally wouldn't fit in with the films either side of it at all. Episode 3 did a brilliant job of tieing everything together retrospectively and this would spoil that.

 

This is getting tedious now. Its not real you know, the storytellers can throw a complete curve ball in to take it anywhere they want if they want to squeeze in X amount of films at any stage of the story.

Cos it's precisely that - a story.

 

What do you mean it's not real? Rebel scum.

 

Probably worth mentioning at this point that in the current Star Wars comics there was a storyline about Obi Wan on Tatooine, where he was fighting gangs and the sort who were attacking the farms.

Also PLT, as BCC said, you really are taking it way too literally, especially considering there are 19 years in between. To suggest he did literally nothing in that time is ridiculous. Tatooine has always been bought across as a corrupt and despot world, filled with gangs as well as Imperials. You can easily make a story out of it.

 

Indeed, and even if he stayed purely on Tatooine he still knew a lot about Moss Eisely being 'a hive for scum and villainy'. He's clearly been there before so you get a story from who he encountered there at the very least.
