What can the book correspond to briefly seen in the trailer of Star Wars: The Last Jedi? Here are the few hypotheses that can be expressed about its nature!
What emotions, meltynauts! Especially if you are hardcore fans of Star Wars! For the last few days have been punctuated by a deluge of announcements, news and … of trailers, including that of Star Wars: The Last Jedi , of course. And if only three days have passed since its release, we can already see the deciphering, the theories and analyzes of this teaser in the form of trailers already flourishing on the internet which, it must be admitted, is as mysterious as ‘exciting. The words of Luke Skywalker, in particular, which declares that the Jedi must disappear, intrigue particularly – even destabilize a little! But it is not the only element of the video to leave us perplexed. There is also this strange book, Which seems to rest in the huge cavern with the tarabiscoté design that one discovers a little before and whose cover is adorned with a strange symbol . And then we wonder about the nature of this book and what it has to do with the plot of the film. Is it to relate with the famous ” end of the Jedi ” evoked by Luke? Here, in any case, are some hypotheses that can be expressed about the object and its meaning.
And to try to guess what it can serve well, you have to start by looking at its cover, obviously. For the symbol engraved there is strikingly similar to that of the Jedi Order, which is more refined. What makes us think that this book is related, in one way or another, to the Jedi and the history of their Order. Moreover, one would imagine that it contained well ancient knowledge, dating from the time of the very first Jedi. After all, did not Luke go in search of the first Jedi Temple? He might have found this book, which would also explain the appearance of the symbol on its cover. Over time, it could have evolved to become the Jedi Order. What is certain is that to see its worn look, the book is very, very old! Sufficiently perhaps to hold forgotten information about the Force and the early Jedi teachings . As a result, Luke ‘s wish to see the Jedi disappear, as announced in the Star Wars trailer: The Last Jedi . Perhaps he discovered something that pushed him to question what he learned alongside Obi-Wan and Yoda.
But there is another hypothesis that can be emitted. For some, it could just as well be … the Journal des Whills ! If you’ve seen Star Wars: Rogue One , the name ” Whills ” should tell you something . In the mythology of the intergalactic saga, it refers to very ancient beings who would have had a very powerful connection with the Force, far more than that which unites them to the Jedi. As for the concept of the Journal of the Whills, it emerged at the very beginning of the creation of the universe of Star Wars , at the time when George Lucas intended to use it as an instrument to link the galaxy very, very distant and fictitious to our world real. It was supposed to contain the knowledge and knowledge of the Whills. And as these are mentioned through the characters of Chirrut and Baze in Star Wars: Rogue One , they might as well reappear in the films of the new trilogy. And why not, through this book? Of course, these are only hypotheses and ultimately its usefulness and significance may be quite different. Especially as the hand that sweeps the blanket does not look too much like Luke’s. In fact, if we observe it, it looks more like belonging to Maz Kanata, who gave us the impression of knowing a lot about the Force in Episode VII. What is certain, in any case, is that this book is not insignificant and that it will have an impact on the course of Rey in the continuation of the trilogy! In your opinion, what is this book about?

Star Wars Rogue One: 4 Things You Did not Know About Chirrut (Donnie Yen)

sivertime — Sun, 22 Jan 2017 18:18:29 +0000

Chirrut Imwe (Donnie Yen) is one of the most fascinating characters in Star Wars: Rogue One. Here are 4 details about the character you may not know!
Star Wars: Rogue One, which perhaps puts certainly not all his heroines in value , still has many strengths, its characters are not insignificant. Whether Jyn Erso, our badass and determined heroine, Captain Cassian Andor and the somewhat cloudy moral zone in which he evolves or K-2SO and his tendency to swing everything that passes through his head, can not fail To attach themselves to them! Yet in the group, there is one in particular that fascinates us more than others, especially because of the mystery that surrounds it. The editorial ‘of melty obviously wants to talk Chirrut Îmwe, the warrior monk played by Donnie Yen which is also able to face Stormtroopers using a stick as a TIE fighter explode crossbow ( wtf ?). We do not know much about this character, except that he is not a Jedi but that he has an acute awareness of the Force and its movements and that his faith in it is Unshakeable. Fortunately, we can count on the art book ” Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide ” for us to learn a little more about the history of Chirrut but also its very creation . So here are 4 details that you certainly did not know about the character!
He is a Guardian of the Whills
It is Cassian who reveals this little piece of information when Jyn crosses for the first time Chirrut in the streets of the city of Jedha. But it does not help us much. Because a Guardian of Whills, kesako? To find out, we have to go back a long way, at a time when George Lucas was still looking for the right angle to tell his intergalactic story. Originally, the Whills were designed by the director to be equivalent to the Force , immortal beings responsible for recording the history of the galaxy. They almost reappeared in Star Wars: The Attack of the Clones, where they should have been mentioned as having taught Qui-Gon Jin to become one with the Force after his death. But in Star Wars: Rogue One , the Guardians of Whills an ancient order of warriors inextricably linked to the Jedi and responsible for protecting the Temple of Whills the city of Jedha kyber and crystals present inside. Until the day when the Jedi having disappeared and the Empire having spread its dominion everywhere, the Guardians of the Whills are expelled from the temple. And that’s how Chirrut and his companion Baze find themselves in the street, forced to play the soothsayer to earn enough to survive.
He mastered a very precise martial art
It must be admitted, Chirrut is an exceptional warrior, even Donnie Yen wanted to make a blind character in Star Wars: Rogue One ! He spent his life training both physically and mentally, which makes him extremely formidable. But what we know is that he practices a martial art called … zama-Shiwo . ” Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide ” teaches us that the zama-Shiwo involves being fully aware of his body – the muscles that move the heart and breathing rates and all internal functions. A master of the zama-shiwo would then be able to slow down the beating of his heart at will and to realize almost supernatural movements. But above all, a Zama-shiwo disciple also has an acute awareness of the environment and other creatures around him. Which explains why Chirrut has such an elaborate hearing and why he seems to possess a sixth unerring sense!
Baze and he have a complicated long relationship
If Chirrut and Baze sometimes make us think of an old couple, it is because they know each other very, very long! They worked together as Guardians of the Whills – Baze had even been according to Chirrut one of the most devoted Guardians, before something made him change. But what we did not know is that the two men, who consider themselves brothers had a dispute years ago and parted on bad terms . Before of course to rabibocher, in spite of their different approach of the Force. Originally, Chirrut was to represent an almost paternal figure for Baze, especially in his way of perceiving the Force. There is however a bit of this characteristic in the film, especially in the final scene of Baze when it resumes the mantra of Chirrut to face the Troopers of elite that fall on to him.
He has a connection with the Rebel Alliance
We know thanks to a recent information that Chirrut door crystal kyber his stick in Star Wars: Rogue One and is using it to locate the tip of his weapon. But what we did not know was that he has another symbolic object: a pendant of Jedha . But beware, this one is very special! Because as we reveal ” Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide “, it is shaped like a mythical bird … which was taken as a symbol by the Rebel Alliance ! You know, this little three-pointed logo seen everywhere, on the helmets of the pilots and on the uniforms of the officers? For Chirrut, this pendant is supposed to represent his devotion to the Order of the Whill Guardians. Like what the Force, the Alliance, the Whills … everything is bound and Chirrut was destined to join the ranks of the rebels! What is your favorite character in Star Wars: Rogue One?

XXx Reactivated: Donnie Yen, Xiang vs Chirrut (Rogue One), which is the most badass?

sivertime — Wed, 18 Jan 2017 19:06:33 +0000

Donnie Yen starred with Star Wars: Rogue One and xXx: Reactivated. But who, of Chirrut or Xiang, is the most badass? In any case, the competition is tough!
It’s been thirty years since Donnie Yen makes films, thirty years that he spent half turning to Hollywood. But, it must be admitted, unless he is a fan of martial arts movies (or Highlander), his face still remains unfamiliar. Finally, ” remained ” one should say. Because in one month, the actor and martial arts expert is found showing two huge American feature films: xXx: Reactivated, that just came out today , playing the role of alpha warrior Xiang and Star Wars: Rogue One , in which he played the warrior monk Chirrut Îmwe. And between the two, you are told that our heart is swinging. Let’s face it , he fight with a stick or he confronts his enemies with bare hands, Donnie Yen has a crazy class! But suddenly, in melty, one wonders. Of Xiang or Chirrut, which would ultimately win over the other? Not easy to answer this question. But hey, that does not stop us from trying anyway!
Chirrut clearly has what it takes to emerge as the most character badass . Already because it is able to flank a thrashing to a group of Stormtroopers with a simple stick – and while being blind. Then his faith in the Force is so powerful that he can face all situations with the utmost calm. We all remember this scene where he crosses the battlefield of Scarif while he is being targeted by blaster shots, right? Moreover, it does not fold, to Donnie Yen, if Chirrut faced Darth Vader in Star Wars: Rogue One, he would win . You will understand, this former Guardian of the Whills is a formidable warrior. But not only ! Because he has a deep wisdom that allows him to gauge people, which does not make it a bore of first. On the contrary, Chirrut is a character who knows how to be humorous, if only in his interaction with Baze Malbius, with whom, it must be admitted, he forms a sort of old couple. In short, Chirrut has it all . And in addition, he always looks cool in dress and, just for that, we would give him the first place!
Except that Xiang is a formidable competitor! You saw him demolish these soldiers with fists and feet in the trailers of the film? And without seeming to make the slightest effort? But the worst part is that besides being an outstanding fighter, a highly trained warrior, Xiang does not feel as the big bad they want us to believe! His motivations are unclear but, as he himself says in the trailer, he is ready to die to save the world. And this kind of statement, it has still enough to impress us. Besides Xiang has a rival as talented as him in xXx: Reactivated: Xander Cage (Vin Diesel), which is itself already stronger than Dom Fast and Furious. If the two characters are alike in more ways than one, they are also elbow-to-elbow in regards to love of risk and crazy cascades. In short, more badass than Xiang, does not exist. Or almost. Because even though it is conquered by his power and agility, he has not this little mysterious side that characterizes Chirrut Îmwe and that makes it even more fascinating . But, in between, the choice is clearly difficult! And for you, which one is the most badass?

Star Wars Rogue One: A hidden detail on Chirrut Imwe (Donnie Yen) unveiled!

sivertime — Sat, 31 Dec 2016 17:23:05 +0000

Chirrut had hidden some little things about him! A new detail was unveiled about him, which explains some of his exploits in Star Wars: Rogue One.
He may be blind, Chirrut Îmwe ( Donnie Yen ) is quite capable of wallop in a band of Stormtroopers! In one pretty crazy scene, the character of Donnie Yen is needed immediately as one of the heroes badass of Star Wars: Rogue One. Besides it is, with Jyn who may be using the Force unknowingly in the film, LE connection to the mystical energy that flows through the galaxy far, far away. Former Guardian Whills, protectors of the Jedi Temple Jedha, the spiritual warrior part in the fighting at the sound of his mantra ” The Force is with me, I am one with the Force .” And we must believe that it works as Chirrut passes through enemy fire and explodes the vessels even at the height of the battle . But what he forgot to tell us was that he was relying on a very useful help. A new hidden detail on the character comes to be unveiled and it sheds new light on his exploits!
Because just imagine, the meltynautes, that Chirrut has also … a crystal kyber as Jyn ! This one is actually in his stick, as revealed by Pablo Hidalgo in the art book ” Star Wars Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide “. The author tells about the crystal kyber: ” Conceived as a symbolic source of inner illumination, it also allows Chirrut better assess where the tip of his stick as it is located can hear both the vibrations of energy and harmonic crystal . “. This explains how he knows precisely where to swing his stick. Coupled with his over-developed hearing, the kyber crystal makes him an extraordinary warrior! So much so that you want (almost) believe Donnie Yen when he says that Chirrut could defeat Darth Vader in Star Wars: Rogue One . But above all, one understands better how the character guesses at once, without knowing it, that Jyn carries a necklace also constituted a crystal kyber. The two crystals may therefore have entered resonance. Anyway, this new little detail again raises the question of the mystic connection that exists between the Force and the kyber crystals, also used to create the Jedi swords! What did you think of the character of Chirrut?

Star Wars Rogue One: Does Jyn use Force in the movie?

sivertime — Sun, 25 Dec 2016 17:18:14 +0000

The Force is far from being absent from Star Wars: Rogue One that we wanted to make us believe! And some elements make us think that Jyn is able to use it …
If Rogue One is so different from other movies Star Wars , this is because, firstly, it is a war movie and then because no character is supposed to master the Force. Indeed, Chirrut (Donnie Yen) believes deeply in the Force, repeating the same mantra from the beginning to the end of the story, a mantra that even allows him to avoid the Stormtroopers’ shots (which are still aiming badly). But he is the only one to testify to the existence of the mystical energy that watches over the order of the galaxy. Unless … Because you do not know but perhaps a Star Wars: Rogue One was nearly a Jedi , and that character is none other than Lyra Erso, the mother of our heroine. Suddenly, when we learn this, we come to see Jyn in a different light. What if the young woman was finally sensitive to the Force? You think we’re delirious, at melty’s? And yet! In reality, there is a stage and an element of the film that could well prove Jyn has the ability unknowingly use the Force … Warning, spoilers, obviously.
Star wars rogue one, crystal kyber, force, necklace, jyn erso
Does crystal allow Jyn to channel the Force?
Remember this scene at the beginning of the film, while the family of Galen gets the visit of Krennic and is about to flee. Lyra provides the time her daughter a necklace containing a crystal kyber saying: ” Trust in the Force .”. His mother therefore believes deeply in the Force, at a time when it seems to have disappeared and is no longer considered as a bunch of nonsense for gullible people. That, in itself, is already surprising. What surprises us most too, is that Lyra has in his possession a kyber crystal , they used as you know to build laser-swords Jedi. And this necklace will make appearances throughout the Star Wars: Rogue One and at times not quite innocuous.
The first occurs when Jyn is out with Cassian and K 2 SO (which is also great in Rogue One R2 and C-3PO in the rest of the Star Wars saga) to join Jedha. She has a dream where she remembers a scene that took place when she was little between her father, mother and Galen. And her reflex, when she wakes up, is to grab her collar. Who tells us that this dream is not ultimately induced by the kyber crystal and the Force? Do you think the idea is a bit capillotract? However, Chirrut itself proves that Jyn has a special relationship with the Force . While meeting her for the first time on Jedha, he immediately establishes a connection with her and immediately guesses the presence of the kyber crystal. What prompts us to ask ourselves a few questions, all the same! Not to mention that the next appearance of the necklace may have a hidden meaning …
When our heroes arrive at Scarif, Bodhi Rook ( Riz Ahmed ) communicates the number of the imperial shuttle, hoping to cross the shield that surrounds the planet. And we can see Jyn squeezing his neck very hard, praying certainly for the imperial officers to let them pass. This moment of tension is followed by a moment of triumph when the ship of Jyn and his rebel companions is allowed to pass. So, of course, this authorization can be explained by the fact that the imperial code is still valid. But, and if Jyn was actually responsible for this success? Because it is likely that without the knowledge and purely instinctive way, our heroine is simply … influenced the spirit of Imperial communications officer to let them pass ! Of course, this would indicate a rather extraordinary power on the part of Jyn, who has never been in contact with a Jedi. But we saw what was capable Rey in The Force Wake from the time it begins to believe in the Force, precisely.
So of course, this is not irrefutable proof that Jyn knows how to use the Force, far from it. But there is almost no doubt that the mystical energy is well with our rebels! In spite of all the obstacles, the chances of extremely low successes – as K-2SO constantly points out – and everything that could go wrong at any moment, it is none the less true that our heroes succeed in putting Hand on the plans of the Black Star. It is therefore easy to believe that our Rebels are guided and protected by the Force, which in no way detracts from the strength of their courage, their determination and the importance of their sacrifice. Whether or not Jyn is sensitive to the Force, the question may remain unanswered for a long time. Anyway, we still really want to believe it, if only because it would establish another link between Jyn Star Wars: Rogue One and Luke , our favorite Jedi! Do you think Jyn is using Force in the film?
