[T & P]

We do not have a specific thread yet, and this morning's announcement seems perfectly suited to to start one

Billy Dee Williams (Lando), and the late Carrie Fisher surprise cast announcements for Ep. IX

Star Wars Episode IX cast announced

Very pleased to see Lando finally feature in the sequel trilogy. And will lap up every yet-unseen footage of Carrie Fisher they are going to use

Carrie Fisher can't escape playing Leia even when she's dead and buried...

It is her destiny...

Fucking Richard fucking E fucking Grant fuck.

oh thats why he was on some cooking thing the other week then, pimping that. Me walking through to elsewhere
'oh thats richard e grant. I read his bio'
ma: 'He's a bit of a twat isn't he'
'Yeah its not an act though, he really is that posh'

He'll probably be an imperial of some sort

Ideally one of those blink-and-you'll-miss-it roles that British jobbing actors get.

And under heavy make-up or inside a rubber suit so we don't even recognise him. He'd porbably would make a good Tusken Raider.

Aye. Game of Thrones effort, at the worst.

I seem to remember that there was a lot of stories saying that Carrie Fisher would not appear in Ep IX

Carrie Fisher Won’t Appear in ‘Star Wars: Episode IX,’ Lucasfilm Says – Rolling Stone

Oh well. I expect it will be flashbacks or a force ghost kind of thing.

I thought RT had banned all pre-release user reviews since all the MRA dickheads started trashing Captain Marvel.

It's... not a great title.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Depends on what it means I guess

Have seen trailer. Goosebumps.

I don't even care about plot holes or shitty story or bad acting. Nothing makes me feel like a wide-eyed kid more than Starsy.

 

[T & P]

Seeing Lando back in the MF’s cockpit very nearly brought a tear to my eye, all while watching the trailer on a bus

 

[ferrelhadley]

Rogue One was the only decent film since Return of the Jedi. Others can pay money to watch a dead horse get flogged.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

...and I will

So are they suggesting she is a skywalker after all?

Actually guess the title could refer to the rise of emo vader!

I’d go as far as claiming it was in fact the best SW film since The Empire Strikes Back, and it sits 3rd on my ‘best SW films’ list. Vastly superior to Eps VII and VIII anyway, and the prequel trilogy of course.

But I welcomed eps VII and VIII flawed as they were, and I look forward to this one even though i’m not expecting much of it.

As the comic shop character from The Simpsons said in an old episode parodying the release of The Phantom Menace, “Worst Cosmic Wars Ever. I will only see it three more times. Today.”
