Star Wars Universe Thread: May The 4th Be With You

[blackboyfly]

Production on the movie is expected to start in Abu Dhabi this month.

And pre-production staff, who have been in the UAE since February, have narrowed their search down to two desert locations close to each other in the Western Region. Both have been marked off with traffic cones to help the rest of the crew locate the sites easily. It is believed the location manager scouted the locations because of their dramatic, high sand dunes.

The entrances to both locations have been locked off by security and the area is protected by fencing. The crew has gone to extraordinary lengths to keep the production secret.

All production staff, and even staff at hotels where the cast and crew will stay, have been asked to sign confidentially agreements so that the story line is not revealed, a source close to the production said. This weekend, the crew were also seen moving a set workshop away from public view and inside the fenced-off perimeter so that nobody could see it.

Several large transport trucks were also spotted moving the set, which is believed to include a spacecraft that lands on the exotic “planet” being created in the Western Region.

The crew had several large white bags of rusted and bent metal parts, which are to be strewn in the desert, possibly to show a space­­craft crash or perhaps a post-apocalyptic civili­sation. Meanwhile, it’s understood that the Lucas Films has block booked accommodation near the set in anticipation for full production.

And every morning, two police cars arrive at the accommo­dation of the crew already on location and escort them to the site, making sure that they are not followed by media or curious members of the public, using diversionary measures if necessary.

The entire project is being overseen by government company, TDIC. Harrison Ford, as Han Solo, and Carrie Fisher, as Princess Leia, are among the stars set to revive their roles for the latest film.

However, the production crew are staying very quiet about which stars will be coming to Abu Dhabi.

“We would advise the curious to stay well clear of the set. It is extremely hot out there and you will not see anything. But we invite you to see it in the cinema when it comes out next year,” said a person close to the production.

Sounds like Adam Driver is NOT going to play a villain…sort of. He will be playing the son of Han and Leia, and it seems he will be seduced to the Dark Side, and a main plot point for the movie will be their attempt to rescue him.

[KingParappa]

not everyone looks exactly like their parents but I get what you are saying

 

[niketalker23]

[CP1708]

That dude is a genius.

 

[sea manup]

still no ep 3 though 

if only this was real 

 

 

[blackboyfly]

^^^^^ Because Episode III was good

After today's Batsuit/Batmobile reveal I'm hoping that Disney will soon do a Han/Millennium Falcons photo

And honestly I don't see why they can't. It wouldn't even be half as secretive as the Batmobile pic because we already know what the Falcon looks like.

But JJ Abrams

 

[noblekane]

Would you all be cool with a guitar lightsaber in the new star wars movie?

 

[Nike Jordan]

Happy 70th Birthday, George Lucas.

 

[CP1708]

if only this was real   

I might be related to this dude or something.

**** was genius. I can't wait to see how he closes 3. I might just replace the real ones with these in my own mind going forward.

 

[blackboyfly]

I like most of dudes ideas but Star Wars is and should be the Skywalker story. Obi-Wan should not be the main character.

Also Owen Lars was in Episode 4 for all of 10 minutes and then never mentioned by Luke again but let's make him one of the lead characters for Episode 2 ?

Still, that would've been a much better movie then AOTC. But then again that's not that hard to do

@starwars: Day one at @PinewoodStudios. #StarWarsVII

@bad_robot: #dayone

And a rumor is going around that the working titles for the 3 current spin offs are

Boba (2016)

Solo (201

Red Five (2020)

Disney sent an order to the site that was running the rumor about the spin off titles to take down the story, the site complied.

Take from that what you will.

 

[heatpinoyboy]

Sounds good to me man.

 

[blackboyfly]

Red Five was Luke's Squadron codename, so the thought is it'll be a movie dedicated to Rogue Squadron

"Red Five standing by..."
