Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Pre-release)

[dascoyne]

Rogue One has done a great job at whetting my appetite for TLJ. It was really a stroke of genius to have standalone films. It stokes the fires of SW fandom and in the public consciousness without oversaturating us with the core SW saga and its characters.

And, with the tragic loss of Carrie Fischer, its likely TLJ will have tremendous emotional weight for those of us who grew up with her.

There's every reason to believe this film will open bigger than even TFA.

I really hope they will bring Lando in Ep. 8

I think there is a VERY good chance of that.

Do tell . . .

Just rumors, and Billy Dee has been conspicuously absent from fan events recently. He is notorious for having loose lips and speculation is that Disney has him on lock down until the films release to not spoil his appearance.

And this from Kasdan sounds promising.

I think this is what he means

Bingo!

I would LOVE to see Lando again. But only if he's still smooth with the ladies.

He might just be making more Colt 45 commercials. "It works every time".

Bless you.

Bingo!

Ha very ha. I didn't name the bloody planet. I was hoping it was Tython.

Absent lately from fan events as in when? They finished shooting in July.

He wasn't at Celebration or Comic Con.

 

[Jaitea]

[Halliwax]

he was at rhode island comic con back in november.

 

[seelsa73]

I'm 99% sure he's talking about the Han Solo movie that he cowrite with his son that we already know Lando is going to be in, played by Donald Glover

BILLY D. was on Dancing with the Stars two years ago I think. Moved like an old man I guess. He definitely got a pity vote but didn't last long. Was fun seeing him however. They did at least one SW dance!

My wife watches it, so yeah...

The princess he was dancing with is smoking HOT!

Poor Billy Dee hasn't aged well. i saw him at a star wars con a few years ago.

it was down right painful and kind of sad in how he kind of stalled and didn't seem all that interested and hardly talked at all...


at the time i thought maybe he wasn't really happy to be there. but it might just be due to age sadly.

After seeing TFA, then Rogue One, all I have is hope and preparation for disappointment with Episode 8. I just hope that everyone is right that they were just being cautious with TFA and will actually work on this one. TFA is like the lazy kid who does the bare minimum at his job to not get fired. Rogue One was the kid who is aiming for the top and does everything right.

My sentiments exactly ^^^. Not crazy about the title and would have preferred , 'The Last of the Jedi'.

But then again, if the movie is really good the title does not matter all that much.

i have heard he's suffering from some kind of mental illness, dementia, alzheimer's something like that.

Hadn't seen that until you posted it, kinda wish I hadn't watched it. Makes me sad on the inside, except for the Leia part..........
