its a good excuse, but its its also fucking stupid for him to be flying an old plane at his age.

Harrison Ford handled that situation just fine. Age was irrelevant since he was not doing anything that created accessive G-force. The plane had a bad day. It can happen, and when it does you make do with the situation as best as you are able.Considering he got out of that situation as well as he did, is something to consider when you think about his piloting skills. The only concern should be whether or not he properly pre-flight checked the air plane. If not, then yes he might need to stop as that should be something that is always done.

also, the age of the plane is irrelevant. planes are not cars. lights turn on on the dashboard and you casually mull it over in your head if you want to spend the cash to get it looked at. A plane gets looked at before and after every flight regardless of whether or not it could use a tune up. If you're in some backwater airport in tanzania, then that's different. but in the states, your plane is getting looked at.

that doesn't mean mechanical failure isn't an option. any number of things can go wrong mechanically when you put a metal contraption with hundreds of moving parts into the air at over a hundred miles an hour. it just means that a 20 year old plane is VERY different than a 20 year old car.

was anyone from Episodes I-III represented at all? ... did they snub the others?

What others? I-III were all CGI and lip-synced cardboard cut-outs of actors.

All I know is that it's been like 30 years since the last star wars movie.

I think unless you're under 18 that's everyone's point of view. Even Abrams.

=\ They're putting Vader prominently in Season 2 of the animated tv show. Can't say I agree with that.

Unless he is murdering jedi then nope. His son needs to redeem him. Not some blue haired idiot

"force is strong in my family" sounds like the same recording, inflections on sound identical to me

"my father has it" is different

"i have it" sounds like the same recording, inflections on sound identical to me

"my sister has it" hard to tell, lots of additional background sounds on new trailer to be sure

The more I listen to it, I think I'm actually leaning more towards your explanation at this point.

The "my father has it" part is 100% a new recording. It is not the same as in ROTJ and it does not sound like Hamill either. On the other hand, I think you're right, in that the rest of the voice over is Hamill's voice being lifted directly from ROTJ or was re-recorded by Hamill.

We know that "Rey" is not the real name, or is at least not the FULL name for Daisy Ridley's character. See the below photo from the recent Star Wars celebration where the speeder is referred to as "Kira's Bumber Car".



My bet is that "Rey" is likely the middle name.

Kira Rey Solo is in hiding on Jakku from her deranged brother Kylo Ren Solo.

I still think Domhnall Gleeson's character will end up being the son of Luke.

lol

He's prominent in the trailer, that doesn't guarantee how many episodes he's actually going to be in. The inquisitor was only in like 4 episodes of season 1, despite being featured very heavily in the trailers for season 1. Also season 2 is going to be something like twice as many episodes supposedly, so we're looking at mid 20s. Spoiler is for the finale of Rebels season 1.

Fucking Magnets? How does it work?

Amazing that is a real thing.

Nothing definitive, but it gives a little background and puts forth some guesses. It's largely based on an existing toy.

Link where they mention that Hamill re-recorded a version of his lines from RoTJ just for the new teaser. They also mention that they ended up using parts of the original and the new recording. So it looks like everybody was on the right track here.

Embedded version:


Vader turning up to kill the shit out of the Rebels as the Emperor's right hand man seems reasonable enough to me.

he was prominent in the previous iteration of the rebels forming (starkiller, force unleashed) and look how awful that turned out.

Found this interesting; BB-8 in the movie doesnt actually move around on its own, it was pushed around by puppeteers. Disney figured out how to make working ones for theme parks and toys.

Log In - The New York Times

Ya, I figured the biggest push for a RL BB-8 was the theme parks and possible toys. If he is popular, they need to have a physical manifestation of it for marketing and promotional purposes.

98% convinced the villian is Revan. My body is ready.
