Star Wars: Episode 7, 8... and BEYOND!

STAR WARS WEEKLY SOCIAL BUZZ! DAISY RIDLEY NOT PART OF THE DUBROVNIK SHOOT. SNOKE IS NOT SITH AND MORE!
From: Starwarsnewsnet.com

What does THIS tweet mean, I wonder. (Specifically, the second question asked).

The one about Bloodlines? That's the new upcoming novel about Leia. Also, the bit about Snoke doesn't seem to be anything too new, but it is nice clarification.

Snoke need not

Spoiler

be a Sith lord to be Plagueis. Palpatine took the Sith lord position and title from him, so obviously he was no longer Sith beyond that point.

Too much hints at him being Plagueis right now for me to be convinced otherwise by what could be clever wordplay.

Not to mention that

Spoiler

the Rule of Two would've cut him out of the picture on a technicality. Even if he shed his identity of "Darth Plagueis the Wise" to take up the mantle of "Supreme Leader Snoke" his old Sith Legend/Darth self would be as dead as Ben's, Anakin's, or anyone else's that Star Wars uses that particular turn of phrase for.

It's also VERY worth noting that Snoke makes a point of Kylo Ren being a product of the Light and Dark, so he's absolutely not heading down the path of the Sith. I think that the key here is both sides attempting to take control of the Balance of the Force. Further evidence is that neither of them have the classic Red & Yellow eyes that are indicative of being a Darth/Sith.


Personally, I think that this is serving as a foil to how Luke wasn't as dogmatically opposed to the temptations of the Dark Side as the traditional Jedi were. He falls to his rage, but he always overcomes its temptation rather than succumbing to it.

In case you happen to love Kylo Ren shenanigans & humor, and were unaware of the Modern Solo Adventures, you're missing out on a damn good time.

Got my digital download at about two this morning. I enjoyed it just as much as in the theater.

 

[trash panda]

Tell us about all the special features!!!!!!!!!! ;____;

 

[Lord Noctis]

Eh, only special features I've scene so far were the deleted scenes. Nothing special really, I can see why they were cut. Although there is one thats pretty hilarious where Han is giving a bunch of stormtrooopers shit. I'm pretty sure they just let Harrison Ford improvise the fuck out of that scene.

Probably check out the rest after I get off work.

Sad news involving the film's cast.

Erik Bauerfield, who played the voice of Admiral Ackbar in both this film and Return of the Jedi, has passed away at the age of 93.

Honest Trailer for The Force Awakens just came out.

As much as I loved the movie, I gotta admit I laughed through this one.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

I think that this comment about it makes a really good point: https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/4dhcnl/honest_trailers_star_wars_the_force_awakens/d1raf9r
