Star Wars The Last Jedi: A major detail on the nature of Snoke unveiled

sivertime — Thu, 01 Jun 2017 15:35:14 +0000

If we do not know who Snoke really is in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, a new element about his nature allows us to rule out a few possibilities!
Rey and Luke, the two major stars of Star Wars that are expected to be found in The Last Jedi , would they have been in the background ? The most talked-about character now is Snoke, the Supreme Leader of the First Order , the biggest bad bad in this new trilogy that seeks to establish more firmly than ever his dominance over the galaxy. It must be said that the fellow is, like our heroine, Daisy Ridley, at the heart of several theories that feed on the mystery surrounding his origins and nature. And unfortunately, Snoke must be relatively little in Star Wars: The Last Jedi , we will not know much more about him before a while. BUT – because yes, there is a ”
And those who thought that the Supreme Leader was in fact Palpatine or even Dark Vader, even Mace Windu, disguised will have to reconsider their assumptions. Because no, the meltynauts, Snoke is a priori not human ! Pablo Hidalgo tweeted part of the text of the novel taken from the Revival of the Force in which one can read a description of the character. And if this one is called ” humanoid “, it is also written black-on-white ” but not human “. ” I think the question has already been asked, Snoke’s humanity, as described in the novel taken from the Revival of the Force, ” commented the author. So yes, as was suspected, Snoke is actually an alien whose silhouette looks a bit like a human being . At least, it is the case at the moment, these things having sometimes vocation to be rewritten …
This small piece of information is to be paralleled with the drawing outline of the LEGO boxes that leaked a few days ago. Snoke’s face was wrapped in a gilded robe. And if you can not always be 100% sure that the design of the LEGO toys reflects the reality, the fact that this design was removed from the web would tend to convince us that this is the case here. In any case, the Supreme Leader always remains a mysterious figure . And it probably should not be at the heart of the big revelation that is supposed to offer us Star Wars: The Last Jedi . So much to say that one can still lay a lot of theories about its origins! What do you think ?

Star Wars The Last Jedi: For Rian Johnson, the title The Last Jedi is in the singular

sivertime — Tue, 18 Apr 2017 17:00:24 +0000

In a recent interview, director Rian Johnson said the title The Last Jedi was in the singular and not the plural, as the French title suggests.

When the international title of Star Wars 8 was unveiled to us last January , we all wondered whether The Last Jedi was singular or plural. Then the French title arrived, The Last Jedi , and there was no longer any need to ask the question, if not who were these last famous jedi. But the director Rian Johnson himself is turning everything upside down. Indeed, for him, The Last Jedi is definitely a title in the singular and not in the plural. “It’s so much fun when people ask me this ,” he told ABC NEWS at the Star Wars Celebration last week. “As a matter of fact, I had never even thought about it. In my mind, it is singular , “he added. But he did not stop there! In this interview, Rian Johnson was obviously in a chattering mood as he also revealed who the Last Jedi was! “As to whether Luke is the Last Jedi, they say in The Revelation of the Force that he will find the last Jedi temple and Luke is the Last Jedi ,” he said.
Knowing that it was he who realized the eighth episode, difficult to make more reliable. And yet, one might wonder if these confidences are true or if Rian Johnson would not play with our nerves to bring us to confusion until the final revelation, next December. After all, why reveal such a spoiler, especially the identity of the Last Jedi? The Lucasfilm and Disney studios are keen to hide important things from us and this confidence is clearly part of it. Afterward, perhaps Luke Skywalker is actually the Last Jedi, but nothing prevents the emergence of new ones, like Rey, who has clearly revealed skills to master the Force. Also, why would Luke lead Rey, as we saw in the official trailer of Star Wars: The Last Jedi , If not to train her to become a new Jedi? That is the question and it will certainly be necessary to wait until December 13th for the answer. And you what do you think ?

Star Wars The Last Jedi: Who is Rose, the new character of Kelly Marie Tran?

sivertime — Fri, 14 Apr 2017 17:56:07 +0000

At the Star Wars Celebration panel, Kelly Marie Tran came to give some details about her new character: Rose.
If we can not wait to see Rey, Poe, Finn and Luke Skywalker next December, new characters will also appear and they will also excite us. Like the character of Benicio Del Toro, who according to the latest theory is a man by the name of DJ and is a smuggler from the malfamous corners of the galaxy. Or the character of Laura Dern, who according to the last details about his role , would be a leading character of the Resistance. Speaking of the Resistance, we can add another member to the cast, played by Kelly Marie Tran ( XOXO , About a Boy ). Currently present on the panel of Star Wars Celebration, the actress came to give some details about his character, Which is called Rose. “She is part of the Resistance and she works for maintenance and I really look forward to meeting her,” described her Kelly Marie Tran. And obviously, his role will be rather important in this eighth episode!
The director Rian Johnson has indeed expressed himself on the character of Rose, describing it in particular as “a remarkable member of the Resistance” . “She is not a soldier, she is not trying to be a hero and she finds herself thrown in a very important way in one of the adventures of this film, with Finn ,” he added. Could Finn and Rose team up on the famous secret mission of our old Stormtrooper? The latter, in effect, was on an infiltration mission, on a First Order ship, and more precisely on one of these mortals Super Star Destroyer, in order to destroy it from the inside by planting explosives. A member of the Resistance who knows mechanics, like that of Rose, Could be very useful in this kind of mission! In any case, one thing is for sure, Rose will have a rather important role in Star Wars: The Last Jedi and so it is a character to follow! And you what do you think ?

Star Wars 8: What could the title mean for the Jedi and the dark side of the Force?

sivertime — Tue, 24 Jan 2017 18:54:39 +0000

If Luke is the last Jedi mentioned by the title of Star Wars 8, what consequences could this have on the future of the Jedi order and on the dark side of the Force?
With its new official title, ” The Last Jedi ” Star Wars 8 has been put at the center of our attention. It must be said that with such a name, there is enough to provoke discussions! Already because one wonders who it is here. De Luke Skywalker? De Rey? Or of Kylo Ren itself, which could also be the famous Star Wars Jedi last 8 ? Or perhaps – and this is a hypothesis that has not yet been considered – could it be someone else completely different? Well, it’s true, this last idea is pretty unlikely. However, the title ” Last Jedi ” raises another question, which itself is related to the Force. Because it could very well also … indicate the scheduled end of the Jedi order and education. In which case, yes, the title would refer to Luke (which seems to us to be the most probable hypothesis). But in this case, does that mean that, despite the former defeat of the Emperor and despite all the efforts of our hero, the Jedi are doomed to disappear ? The finding would be bitter, that’s for sure , but not necessarily catastrophic. If this is what the title implies, then what impact could this disappearance have on the galaxy but also, and especially, on the characters and intrigue of the new trilogy?
At first glance, the irremediable end of the Jedi order could seem like a real catastrophe. After all, they have watched over the galaxy for thousands of years and dispensed their wisdom through space and time. So yes, the idea of seeing them sink into oblivion again – and this time definitely – makes us a little panic! Except that in fact, if you think about it, the Jedi have not really helped the Galaxy and its inhabitants recently . They did not foresee or prevent the revolt of the Separatists, nor did they perceive the threat represented by Palpatine when he began to maneuver to overthrow the Republic. Despite their powers and sensitivity to the Force and despite their mythical dimension, the Jedi could not therefore oppose the plans of the Sith Lords. As for Luke, we admire his courage and determination, of course, but we forget a little easier than it is not him who defeated the Emperor in Return of the Jedi . Besides, our hero would have died if Darth Vader had not, in a final burst, reject the dark side of the Force to help him . So finally, the Jedi proved that they could no longer preserve peace in the galaxy, nor balance in the Force. Especially if only Luke remains and he can not train other Padawan, the future of the Jedi is rather badly engaged!
But the same can be said about the dark side and its followers. The Emperor was able to keep power for about thirty years before being overthrown, and it can be imagined that Snoke-or at least we hope so-will follow the same path. It is therefore necessary to face the facts: whether one side or the other, not to favor one pathway in the Force, in the long run, it does not work . And this is where the title of Star Wars 8 could make sense. If it is assumed that he is referring to Luke, then yes, the Jedi may be doomed to disappear entirely, Rey will follow their teachings to the end or not, Kylo Ren decides to abandon the dark side or no. This does not mean that there will be no more Force users! For, what prevents us after all to imagine that those two would be able to give birth … to a new order, which would combine the two sides of the Force ?
There is much talk about the fact that Kylo Ren is still attracted to the luminous side of the Force and that Rey, according to several theories, could ultimately succumb to the dark side. It is quite obvious that the characters remain ambivalent. Kylo Ren followed the teachings of Luke and he could redeem himself before the end of the trilogy. As for Rey, she has been abandoned as a child, and nothing tells us that she has not retained some form of bitterness and resentment. Not to mention that, having not been trained since her youngest age, she is certainly capable of the best as well as the worst. But as Melty’s copy tells you above, only following the path of the luminous side or only that of the dark side seems to lead to failure. So why could not these two characters simply kiss and use both sides of the Force, one counterbalancing the other. And finding – well! – The real balance to the Force .
Sure, Star Wars has always had a rather Manichean discourse, but the new trilogy should also correspond to our time. And come to mix with two characters at the bright side and the dark side, what is done after all human nature, might appear as a fine conclusion . Obviously, all this remains only conjecture and hypothesis, such a turnaround could take place at the very end of the trilogy, is in Star Wars 9 . But the title ” The Last Jedi ” challenges us enough for that examines the question! As always, therefore, it was not until the release of Star Wars 8 whether Luke is the last Jedi and what that might then involve Rey and the other characters of the saga! Do you think the Jedi are doomed to disappear?

Star Wars 8: Luke Skywalker or Rey, who is the Last Jedi?

sivertime — Tue, 24 Jan 2017 18:33:31 +0000

And now we know that Star Wars 8 will be called The Last Jedi. As a result, one wonders: to whom does the title refer? To Luke Skywalker or Rey?
That’s it ! After months of waiting, assumptions, false rumors and announcements, it is FINALLY there! The official title of Star Wars 8 was unveiled and – Oh My God – it is also surprising and mysterious qu’excitant. So the film is now called ” The Last Jedi ” in the original and it makes us already completely crazy. Because inevitably, as we did for The Force Wake , one wonders about its meaning, then, immediately, we frankly do not seem very optimistic his side a little final. But before we jump to conclusions and ask if any of our characters will die tragically, we can already ask to whom the title refers . And there are two obvious solutions that literally jump out of our eyes. The last Jedi in Episode VIII might as well be Luke Skywalker , who, after defeating the Emperor, attempted to reform the Jedi Order, Rey , the newcomer is able to master the Force by Instinct without having (a priori) never received teaching. So which of these two characters is most likely to be concerned by this title? The editing of melty makes the predictions!
From the simplest and most obvious way, ” The Last Jedi ” could refer to Luke, which remains one of the characters of Star Wars the most popular even today. And this for several reasons. Already, simply because it is literally THE last existing Jedi in the galaxy . With consecutive disappearance of Obi-Wan and Yoda, Luke is the only master the Force like the old Jedi, even though the title has not been awarded – the Council no longer exists ( duh …) – and even if it has not received a complete training. But he is indeed a Jedi, who even took disciples before Ben Solo turned the dark side and killed everyone. And then there is another proof, less obvious one, which leads us to believe that the character Luke is concerned by the title of Star Wars 8 . And this proof is a little phrase … scrolling text of the Force Alarm , which refers to our hero by calling it a ” last Jedi .” So we would think that Star Wars 8 , which should focus much on Luke and the reasons for his exile also means we reveal what it means to be the last Jedi and responsibilities that entails . Except that in fact, there is another contender for the title of Jedi and it is obviously Rey.
Because we all understand that the relationship between Rey and Luke Skywalker would be the heart of Star Wars 8 and that our young heroine just arrived on Ach-To will follow the teachings of the Jedi. The original English title finally being rather vague, you might think that this is actually Rey who is directly affected . However, the hypothesis is somewhat problematic. On the one hand, Rey is not a Jedi. She may become one, yes, but for the moment she (probably) only discovered the Force. And there’s little chance she’ll become a Jedi in two hours. On the other hand, one can imagine that Luke, who does not grow younger, gradually disappears behind his apprentice to leave him the place and to entrust to him the responsibility of perpetuating the tradition of the Jedi. It is also a possibility (we prefer not mention the death of Luke, because after the Han, it’s just too much … ). Especially since, as we have often said, the new trilogy is supposed to tell the story of a new generation and see Rey endorsing the role of the last Jedi would rather go in this direction.
But there is also a third possibility: that Luke and Rey are the famous “last Jedi” . The title may indeed be read in the plural, ultimately, and could therefore also mention the Jedi and his apprentice. They are after all two now and, on condition that Rey does not turn against Luke, as many think she will, the duo could very well revive the Jedi tradition. The film would focus on Rey’s training, on the one hand, but also on the resistance of the two Jedi against the dark side, Snoke and the First Order. And in this case, the words “last Jedi” would not imply the programmed end of an order, as one might think, but would actually be content to characterize the place of the two characters in the galaxy. Anyway, the title of Star Wars 8 raises many questions and new hypotheses! Who do you think the title is referring to?

Star Wars 8: The relationship of Luke and Rey in the heart of the film

sivertime — Tue, 10 Jan 2017 17:18:31 +0000

In an interview, director Rian Johnson kindly gave some clues as to the continuation of the plot between Rey and Luke Skywalker. And it promises!

Many rumors circulate around the plot of Star Wars 8, but we will have to wait a little longer before discovering which are true and which ones are false. Say, at least until April, which will be released the first trailer , giving us an idea of the direction of the film, and for some, until his release in December. But meanwhile, the director Rian Johnson wants to give us some information, including the relationship between Luke and Rey. At the end of Star Wars 7 , Rey found it on the planet hidden AHCH-To, and the film ends with Rey, tending to Luke his lightsaber. And it is on this same scene that will open Star Wars 8, according to the recent remarks of Rian Johnson. For him, it was important to show the rise of Rey, including his training with Luke Skywalker , before anything else. It is even a very important dimension for the future of events. “I do not want to jump two years. I want to see what happens next. The part where Rey realizes she has the power and the gift ” , has he thus told USA Today.
“She made the first move, she accepts what is in it and it is just beginning to reveal its potential” , has he then justified. Rian Johnson then added that much of the film would therefore focus on the relationship between Luke Skywalker and Rey, with a small part training as many had speculated. But not only. The director also added that another large part of the film will address “why Luke has spent many years in exile on AHCH-To, and then it will” . That is promising! Perhaps we shall have a piece of response during first teaser, Mark Hamill promised soon? There’s nothing to do but cross the fingers the meltynauts! And you what do you think ?

Admittedly Rian Johnson is the of the film Looper , in which Joseph Gordon-Levitt faced his duplicate much older future starring Bruce Willis. In this futuristic story, violence was just as much as a very mature tone. Nothing more logical that Star Wars 8 borrows the same path while remaining public. But that’s not all because Adam Driver also said “Rian Johson is a brilliant filmmaker. He knows how the ambiguity and nuance is important .”. This is information that should wait the fans when we know that for Kathleen Kennedy, Star Wars 8 must leave space to Rogue One and will not offer new information next spring! What do you think ?
