Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I feel like I am 10 years old again! So, we at the R2 Builders club speculate that R2 is an original trilogy droid sent over for reference for our boys to research and work from. we don't think that is the new Episode 7 R2 built by Lee Towersey and Oliver Steeples of the R2 Builders club.
While its not the same crate or R2.... Its clearly an ILM/Lucasfilm style crate there as well. The crate matches the one in this Annie Leibovitz photo: (The open door in the new BW E7 photo even has similar writings on the door.
and we won't see the new movie droid for some time.
No Warwick Davis?

Hmmm CGI?
It is amazing what one picture / press release can do. I am giddy.
I got an email that he would be at a show in August so I figured he wasn't in it. Maybe he'll have a small part down the road.
Yes!!!
As for Cumberbatch, he's insanely over-exposed, and frankly over-rated. Putting him in this would be like putting Tommy Lee Jones in a Batman movie in the mid 90s...
Kyle also outlined a great theory as to how this story may unfold. I believe strongly that the EU got Luke totally wrong. He never would have rebut the Jedi Order. That lead to the Force being out of balance and everything Luke holds true, like love, attachment, the Jedi tried to expunge. That's why there will be no Mara Jade. Luke post Jedi likely drifted into obscurity, allowing the Force to flow naturally. He probably went home and became a moisture farmer. So this film may focus on Han and his daughter. Something happens and eventually Leia need to try and enlist Luke's help, possibly Han's death is the catalyst. I think this series will have Ms. Ridley be the Luke of this trilogy.
