Catwomancomics Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Had they continued that theme with the ghost of Anakin guiding Luke or something along those lines... I would have probably seen the better fit with the original 6. Disney could still do it in Episode 8 to help tie it all together, but it probably won't happen. I understand why Disney focused on new characters in the first film. Disney needs to hand over the torch at some point in order to continue the story without the main characters from the OT.

Those were intended to be separate storylines. Kennedy had said prior to production that the mainline Star Wars films were to continue the saga of the Skywalker family. I guess one can say that they sort of did that with Episode 7. However, it was still a regurgitation of everything we had already seen. I am looking more forward to Rogue One than Episode VIII to be honest. I want to see new stories, not an essental redo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100% with this statement. I want new and exciting stories that we haven't seen. I'm also looking forward to the stand alone Han Solo film.

Leia and Luke are still prominent in Episode VIII, so I'm not convinced we still won't see the ghost of Anakin. I'm hopeful we'll also see a conflicted Vader/Anakin ghost for Kylo.

chezmtghut Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I wonder if they will use CGI to complete Leia's scenes like the did with Tarkin in Rogue One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awax Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 1. I haven't seen rouge 1 .. thanks for the spoiler 2. It's already been said that filming wrapped up for this one a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezmtghut Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) 1. I haven't seen rouge 1 .. thanks for the spoiler 2. It's already been said that filming wrapped up for this one a while back. Sorry about the spoiler. Tarkin's CGI scenes were talked about in the Rogue One thread, so I didn't realize mentioning that would be a big deal.

TheLiamSturgess Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Also, just go see Rogue One. The statute of limitations is swiftly expiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 To tell the truth, given the media attention surrounding the inclusion of certain characters using CGI as well as the recycling of stock footage with the original voice actors returning... I think the spoilers are pretty much out of the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 I have to be a realist... I can only wonder how this impacts the storyline moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust Disney/Lucasfilm will use good judgement and change the story accordingly for the final episode. Edited December 28, 2016 by rjrjr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzetta Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 Maybe they set it a few years in the future and mention it in the crawl that she has become one with the force or something like that. Perhaps they could pull a Padme and that the strain of Ben Solo completely turning to the Dark Side was too much for her or some wacky Jedi thing or something. Because Leia was not a practiced force user like Luke, at least she would not have a dramatic impact on the storyline leading up to a confrontation with Snoke. However... and I might be the first to say this... I am calling this one now... Buzzetta Prediction Time Han is dead Leia is dead I can easily see the writers having no problem turning Luke into a Force Ghost to assist Rey in tackling Snoke and turning Ben Solo back toward the light. The closing scene in Episode IX would be similar to the closing scene in Return of the Jedi as Rey, Poe, Finn and BB8 watch the Force Ghosts of Han Solo, Leia, and Luke along with Anakin, Yoda and Obi Wan Kenobi. All they would have to do is do some CGI wizardry and combine the Jedi scenes from Endor. Bam - called it. Let's see if I am right in three years.
