Here's hoping that Denis Lawson is calling his agent.

[Abraham Smashington]

yessssss

[Abraham Smashington]

I want this to be like a bad ass war movie but in the SW universe like I said back in episode 74

[Matt]

I want this to be STAR WARS: TOP GUN.

Time to buzz the Death Star!

Faraci says it's supposed to be about bounty hunters.

I'm with you Rob; I want a badass war movie.

Total fucking switcharoo, but sounds cool. Jon Knoll getting story credit on it.

[Anderson]

Still, there's more going on than what was announced. Game is at half, I'll hop back on here once it is over.

[gravedigger]

I'm still holding out hope that Maslany gets into one of these things in some substantial way. I'm not an Abrams hater but I expect the quality jump from episodes VII to VIII will cause whiplash.

[Anderson]

I'll head back in here since the game is making me antsy.

  Spoiler: Lights please. 

What happens when you have three writers and a director that wants to make four different movies? You fire the most expensive writer and then cram everything into one script.

Orphan Black can't play a rogue? Recast and play to the strengths of the replacement.

Felicity Jones as a Princess Leia pilot type? Sure, why not.

Not enough story for the Reindeer Games style Han vs. the Bounty Hunters? Throw in that Rogue Squadron story that Jon Knoll had floating around.

Tie it back into Rebels and the new movies? Sure why not! Hire the guy who helped Branagh to revamp Cinderella.

Making films by committee.

[Anderson]

Debating doing an update of where the rumor mill has us at, but Episode 7 is a headache.

[Matt]

Headache? In what way?

The leaks are starting to drop in number and line up more. However, Bad Robot is actively leaking fake shit. So, it is constant sorting of tidbits.

And that Making Star Wars is talking outta both sides of their asses to get shit out first.

Not quite. They've got a far better track record than LR. However, they run everything.
