That's assuming it didn't release it from nerv spasms or get knocked out when they hit something.


I've been wondering that myself.

New potential leak. Sounds plausible and would make one of the theories on Rey correct.... well partially anyways. Read at your own risk and use spoiler tags if you wish to directly discuss it.

I still never saw lukes sabre fall into the planet, the last we see of it falls into the big shaft when his hand gets cut off , Luke doesn't jump down until like 2 minutes later and he goes into a side ventilation shaft.


I'm like 99% sure the lightsabre wasn't in the same shaft Luke went into, otherwise why wouldn't get have grabbed it while he was in there before the floor opened? I'm pretty sure those shafts are weight sensitive to dump garbage or whatever falls in there, I always assumed he was in with a bit of debris and garbage and that neither his hand or sabre was in there with him.

Not a fan of the theory about Rey in that link. Unexpected though.



I prefer the

I've read that theory before. Not sure how I feel about it. I like

Rey Kenobi, though. Obi Wan was a badass, and the only good part about the prequels.

Looks like a certain ship type is making a return in VIII. It was spotted when Prince William and Harry visited the set of VIII.

Question: Does George Lucas have a delusion of grandeur? Is he under the totally unwarranted belief that it was him who made Star Wars a hit, rather than his cast and crew? For example, would he be where he is now if it wasn't for the designs of http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Images_from_The_Art_of_Ralph_McQuarrie, the scripts by Lawrence Kasdan, the scores by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaTK-Pret_Q, or the SFX experts who made scenes like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FQNIoVLSdw? I've seen the "Making of" docs tons of times and all he seems to do is give a rough outline of things he wants, then passes or rejects other peoples work. He thinks he created Star Wars on his own, but I think he http://nypost.com/2015/12/18/george-lucas-brilliant-ex-wife-was-secret-weapon-in-original-star-wars/?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=NYPTwitter&utm_medium=SocialFlow, along with hundreds of specialists would beg to differ. On the contrary, if it wasn't for his ex-wife the OT would probably have flopped! Even back then he didn't like other people telling him his ideas didn't work, and only grudgingly changed them when told to by his wife. It says he listened to her advice and guidance carefully, but now he claims to be the whole brains behind the franchise.



A national leader once thought the same way. His armies had quick victories over their enemies, but the leader started to think it was his military genius that caused the victories, not because of the skills of his generals. From then on he overrode all criticisms from his generals because he thought he was infallible. It was then that his armies started to lose the war...

That's sad about his wife. I've never even heard about her, not once. What a scumbag.



Luckily he's out of the picture and some new life can be breathed into the franchise.

Notice though that he had/has an over bloated ego, where everyone around them believed she had the real talent, but he thought she was the novice? Only Lucas believed he had the real talent and used to belittle her as if she was some hack. Now, in the PT, we've seen what the OT would've been like if it wasn't for her and other people like Gary Kurtz (another person he got rid of who disagreed with him).

I just noticed that Kasdan was an uncredited co-producer for TFA.

To be honest, all retread stuff aside, I think they did an excellent job considering the massive damage they had to repair after the abysmal PT. What they did was like putting a sticking plaster on a 50 cal bullet wound! But like Red Letter Media said, they'd best come up with some really brand spanking new ideas for the next one, unlike what they did with the second Trek movie. The soft reboot is finished, now they should get on with some new stuff, or else they'll start losing people for good.

Pretty much how I feel. TFA was what it needed to be, which was not another PT. Now that they've shown they can visually make a Star Wars film and make a Star Wars plot that's not convoluted they had better get out of the safety net and give us something original.

I've actually said this a hundred times and everyone always scoffs at me when I say it publicly - George Lucas is not a great director. I'm sorry, but he's not. He's an okay director. But he gets credit for doing a lot of stuff he didn't. He didn't write nor direct Empire; he didn't even write the script. Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan wrote the Empire script, and Irvin Kershner directed it. They are who made Star Wars what it is IMO. George Lucas gave them ideas, but that's it. They moved with it.



I'd say that I think George Lucas is more or less an "idea man", but there are other people out there that are far better directors. Compare side by side the Star Wars films that Lucas directed (A New Hope, and the prequels) and the ones he didn't (Empire directed by Irvin, Return of the Jedi directed by Richard Marquand, and TFA directed by JJ) I think we can see where his talent really lies.

I could come up with an idea for a Mk 2 Space Shuttle, that takes off and lands like a normal plane, and gets into space via its own outboard rocket engines. I then take it to NASA and leave it to them to both design and build. That doesn't mean I'm intellectual enough to design and build the thing myself, it just means I came up with the idea.

I really think that Disney acquiring Star Wars was a great thing because it lets us expand on the universe in different ways, just like the extended universe novels did. So how is this a bad thing for so many people? We're getting more Star Wars you blockheads. More fantasy more exploration more story via side stories like Rogue One, explored on screen and it'll be fabulous.

Honestly I dont know. Some people just treat everything Disney touches as toxic. I'm happy they bought the rights from Lucas. If anything was toxic to the franchise it was him.

You know, I just had a thought, I never saw the original theatrical release of the OT on dvd/blu ray or VHS? I've only seen and own the '04 special edition on dvd, which I saw back in 2005. The one with young Anakin at the end of ROTJ.

I saw an article where select theaters were going to play the original theatrical cut but I'm not sure if it was legit.

Did any body here enjoy the Clone Wars series? The more recent one, I didn't see the one from the early 2000's.
