Lucasfilm Ltd. and Marvel Entertainment revealed plans for three comic book titles due to hit shelves in 2015
that will " take place immediately after the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, " and " will exist as part of the canon for the Star Wars universe ."
-
You may be right about that, because now StarWars has the Disney-label on it, so there's twice the preassure from the media and millions of fans worldwide.
I expect the first teaser trailer for Episode VII to be much like the teaser for Episode III. - that one also showed little of the upcoming film but got me goosebumps.
" Lord Vader ? Yes, Master. Rise.." peed in my panties

Hi, my name is Star Wars and I'm an American space opera franchise created by George Lucas.
My films, consisting of two trilogies, that spawned an extensive media franchise called the Expanded Universe including books, television series, computer and video games.
My story contains many themes, with strong influences from philosophy and religion. My journey started on May 25, 1977, under the title Star Wars.
I became a worldwide phenomenon, followed by two sequels, released at three-year intervals. Sixteen years after the release of the trilogy's final film,
I released a new prequel trilogy of films. In 2012, The Walt Disney Company bought me for $4.05 billion and announced that they would produce three new films.
My next film, Star Wars Episode VII, will be directed by J.J Abrams and is planned for release in 2015. I can't wait to meet you all !!

There's a Cartoon- ish Dooku model included in that models pack above^ ...It may not be what you are lookin' for but it's close.
Now, here's the model without the cape. Those shoulderpads can be painted on the skin, and with a specular shader it could work.
If you're going to work on this one, remember to contact the authors of the models pack @Psyk0Sith, Monsoontide (and Omeewan)
Hope this helped you.

Star Wars: Episode VII Trailer Music to be Recorded Next Month by John Williams? First Teaser This Xmas ?
During his concert in Milwaukee few weeks ago, John Williams revealed that “in about two weeks” he'll start working on the Episode VII score.
This suggests that Williams will actually be working on the first Episode VII teaser trailer next month… so we may expect a teaser this Christmas.

the photoShopping is great - as always - but this is like watching kids play at sandbox, the dialogue is awful

I wonder how would they explain the ruins there... Jedi temples of the Old Republic? Ancient cities like of Massassi? Or grove ruins of ancient species like in KOTOR?
EDIT - image I found just now
Looks like a stormtrooper searching debris, and since they are filming outside, it suggests the trees and grass are part of the scene. Yavin? Dantooine?

@NumberWan, try a google image search of Skellig Islands, one of the locations, that place is just amazing.
Skellig Michael, where the filming is taking place, contains monastic ruins dating to the sixth century and is a Unesco world heritage site.
It is essentially a barren rock exposed to the wind and wave and this location is said to be home to the sith/ bad guys, but that's only a rumour.
fresh aerial photographs below
Did that look familiar? Let me fresh you memory all - concept art images;

OH MY GAWD !! what the fuck.....
He totally looks like Sean Connery
, shorry I meant to shay, Shean, shaken not shtirred, -
Please keep them thrones as they are in the image, don't go place them in a circle because it's a jedicouncil thing and we're talking about Korriban.
Korriban is the Egypt of StarWars and infact if you google ancient egypt, you may find some interesting designs to fit in a Korriban map.
A grand hall with pillars as high as the sky, and the ruler (s) sitting at the far end of the hall is majestic, keep it like so. That's my opinion.

feedback is very imporant during any long term project and handing out some specific features of the mod, such as "animations" and "f_lightning" effects,
is a great way to get feedback, I'd love to test whatever you've managed to accomplish so far. However..
..would you record some of your work, using e.g. fraps and upload it somewhere, and then embed to your first comment?

It would be nice to see George Lucas in Episode 7 as a rebel.. or a bartender whyt not? Stan Lee did this in some of the Marvel movies/cartoons/games
Guerrilla Warfare
Disney purchased LucasFilm for about $4 billion, uder the terms of the deal, Disney had to use Lucas' orignal script writings without altering it too much.
Whether this is true or not, it makes sense, as you said, to view the story from the beginning till episode 6 - clearly the Galaxy is falling a part and infact
the leaked/ released official concept art strongly suggest that the civilians in the galaxy may be living in the middle of guerrilla warfare.
That would also mean that there would be very few scenes with more than 20 troopers, as it was with the OT, there will mostly be real actors, not CGI.
The Clone army ofcourse had to be done using "digital doubles" in AOTC but it looks like the days of massive armies are over in the SW galaxy,
so there's probably going to be small confilcts here and there and stormtroopers looking for droinds they aren't looking for
This has "George Lucas" written all over the place, and I like it.
-
I totally agree with you; with so much concept art revealed, it's hard to say what planets exactly we'll be seeing in the Film.
If the Puzzlewood location isn't a new planet, could it be Kashyyk? Endor was originally shot at the Redwood National and State Parks, so why not this time?Dagobah is also a planet that could most likely be shot indoors with green screen, but ofcourse it would be nice to see as little green as possible. *fingers crossed*
I know I said this before, however...
Multiple sources claim that the current working title for Episode VII is The Ancient Fear. Abrams hasn't responded to this, so it remains as a rumor for now..http://www.starwars7news.com/2014/05/speculation-case-for-darth-plagueis-in.html quote;
"he (source) sent me a scoop that the title for STAR WARS EPISODE VII was THE ANCIENT FEAR "
"he also stated that “it refers to Max Von Sydow’s villain who makes Pazuzu look like a pussy!”
(Pazuzu was a demon, one of Satan’s minions, in The Exorcist.) so we’re talking PURE EVIL!!
This would make him the second villain of the movie alongside Adam Driver’s character, who is said to be the equivalent to Darth Vader.
And according to John Morton who played “Dak” in the Empire Strikes Back, the villain is going to bridge the whole franchise together.
-
And some new images, or well... maybe not the latest, but not yet shown here atleast;
" Puzzlewood "
These knotted trees and winding paths of the forest, suggest a return to Dagobah
or to the Forest Moon of Endor, inhabited by the Ewoks, atleast that's the first assumption.
Pieces of film kit scattered around the beauty spot, the crew having moved out.
-
Thats why I keep thinking that there must be something sinister about his character. He is either very old, or ... maybe he is Darth Plagueis
Ofcourse he can really be just an old wise guy who will lead them young ones to their own adventures, the kind of adventures that made Han Solo famous.
I've always liked his dramatic low voice, it's very iconic.
-
Welcome welcome, and I mean no offense -but - have you got any idea how many clans there have been in Jedi Academy
?I think there are many "old timers" here though, maybe someone actually remembers you. Good Luck and have fun -

If the movies indeed include a new generation of Skywalkers then its kinda given to see some father-son relation. The prophecy was already fulfilled in my opinion.
So many rumours flying around the internet that I find it hard to make any serious conclusions yet, especially as I find each rumour a very possible plot twist.Grandson of Anakin
For the new generation to live in a universe full of ruined cities and old battlefields, where nobody wants to remember the Old Republic and the Clone Wars,
the best source of information would be a CloneWars veteran (hence the importance of Max von Sydow) he could tell all about the first suspicions about the Sith returning.
Would the grandson of Anakin Skywalker be intrigued by the Dark Side for any reason, there could be a good chance for us to learn more about the prophecy.
Not only that, he would be a powerful enemy for the entire new trilogy and not only episode 7, perhaps indeed Luke is approach to talk sense to his son?
Did Darth Sidious create Anakin Skywalker?
The Prophecy=
It was an ancient propechy, thought to have been created by the earliest Jedi philosophers, to the Jedi it meant an ideal state in which the Force existed in nature. According to Jedi dogma, the presence of the dark side corrupted and destroyed this natural balance, and the Jedi viewed it as their duty to restore it.
Palpatine revealed in Episode 3 that his master, Darth Plagueis taught Sidious a way to create life, among many other dark secrets.
So Anakin was intentionally created by someone and Palpatine organized the Trade Federation to form a blockade of battleships around the planet Naboo.
From there it was only a matter of time when there would be nagotiators send there, again, with Palaptines opinion on the desk, Qui-Gon was sent to negotiate.
Qui-Gon Jinn was influenced by Sidious via Count Dooku, about the importance of the propechy about the chosen one. Once Anakin became a padawan, Palpatine then started to brainwash Anakin, even into beliving he could help him to save Padmé and carefully lured him to the Dark Side and blah blah we know how the story goes. -
A lot of what you said sounds logical and acceptable, Darth Plagueis is justa rumour, and one has to be able to draw a clear line between facts and rumours.
If Luke Skywalker would have a son in episode 7, especially one that is falling to the dark side, it's heavy, could they even deal with it in one movie?
I still like to think that the trilogy will have a united storyline to follow, as Lucas did with the previous episodes. I also think about Rosh Penin now...
" a spectacular sequence involving the destruction of a very familiar ship " Falcon? maybe. Death of Han Solo? unlikely, atleast during the 7th episode.
That would be a huge shock to the audience who are eager to see the origal trio from the Star Wars movie from 1977. I don't think they'd kill anyone in EP7.
Han Solo disguised as a stormtrooper, however, is something the audience would love to see
-
Star Wars: Battlefront 3 = Star Wars: First Assault ?
-
Too much? George Lucas was involved in th early stages of writing James Luceno's novel "Darth Plagueis" which was released 2012.
And then we have that image I posted , where you clearly see the resemblance between the concept art bad guy and the Darth Plagueis -toy figure.IMAGE
We don't know where Anakin comes from, his mother never knew either. Palaptine told of a way to create life, using the Force to influence the midi-chlorians.
Till now we've belived that Anakin is the center of the whole saga, what if Darth Plagueis created Anakin? that he's the man behind the curtain?
He may not appear in episode 7 other than briefly, infact it would be logical to slowly reveal him so that in episode 9 we know exactly what has been going on ever since EP1.
The story goes; Anakin was found, but no one knows his origins, he has a mom who can't exaplain either how she got pregnant, and who found Anakin?
Qui-Gon did, and his master was ?.... Darth Tyrannus who also most likely spoke to Qui-Gon about this aincient prophecy about a chosen one.
With Star Wars, such a massive, complex planning would not be surprising at all. And as we know, eventually Anakin ends up as a key characterin destroying the Jedi Order and the Republic, thus creating an all new Galactic Empire without the Jedi. What do the sith want above all`? - to kill all the jedi.
Now, why wouldn't Luke be interested in finding out more about his father and his path to the dark side? or about the fall of the Jedi?
That would also be only logical that the trilogy would mainly focus on Luke Skywalker as he is struggles to figure out the meaning of the prophecy
about the chosen one, bringing the balance to the Force and the origins of his father and who exactly were the Sith. Did Darth Sidious have a mentor?
Also if Darth Plagueis would be the main villain for the new trilogy, it may not be played by Max von Sydow, but he would definetly fit the part.
He's just such a great actor that JJ.Abrams would not hire him only for a small part, if he is a Clone Wars veteran then he has to be an important veteran.
Spreading a rumor about him being a war veteran would also better hide the true part he was hired to play, especially if this rumour would be true....
-
Looks nice so far, definetly keep that lighting (x2) - will you create any breakable parts in the map? and will it be an open area with natural light (skybox only) ?
-
If you're thinking 'bout making a mod;
then you could perhaps merge the jetpack model to a player_models (chiss e.g.) and just give them team skins, and just write the jetpack model *off
so that ingame you would always have the jetpack visually, but you can scroll your inventory for it in order to use it, without seeing 2 jetpacks on your model.
having the jetpack always on, without having to scroll down the inventory would also be nice, especially for mandalorian based clans in this game. -
I also stumbled upon a rumour that the villain is going to bridge the whole franchise together. With no “official information” we can only guess,
this would be a logical assumption; if this trilogy truly ends the sotry, the villain should be someone who binds the Star Wars universe together.
Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?
Palpatine: Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?
Anakin: No.
Palpatine: I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create life. He had such a knowledge of the Dark Side, he could even keep the ones he cared about…from dying.Anakin: What happened to him?
Palpatine: He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power…which, eventually of course, he did. Unfortunately,he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death…but not himself.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Max von Sydow to play Darth Plagueis the Wise in the new trilogy ?
We've seen that those especially strong in the Force have managed to survive beyond death in the form of " Force Ghosts "
It stands to reason that the Sith would also have a similar ability or at the very least seek some form of immortality.
Could the “Darth Plagueis” novel have an influence on what will transpire in Episode VII?
“In dealing with Plagueis’ quest for immortality, I originally structured part of the book as a kind of race between him and Qui-Gon Jinn, they inadvertently sabotaged one another without either of them realizing they were pursuing the same goal. In the end, Qui-Gon succeeded by making contact with the Whills- the mysterious species of immortals George Lucas mentioned in an epigraph for the first Star Wars novel.” ―James Luceno, Star Wars Insider, Issue #130, 2011I an interview with author James Luceno published at TheForce.Net we read:
How closely did you work with Lucas Licensing on Darth Plagueis?
How much did George get involved? What advice did he give you?
“George was involved in the early stages. When the book was first proposed, I wrote to him and asked whether there was any reason why Plagueis couldn’t be a non-human, and he wrote back that Plagueis could be a Muun and sent me some artist renderings of the character. From that point on, everything was approved, as they’re saying, “at the highest level.”
James Luceno's book was published on January 10, 2012.
This IS an important clue for one simple reason — George Lucas had already been working on the Sequel Trilogy.
Plagueis’ original intentions may have been to allow for multiple Sith Lords, if not a Sith Legion, to exist at once. Perhaps different factions
— one led by Palpatine and one led by Darth Plagueis - This could easily facilitate any “secret apprentices” that may suddenly appear.
Above is and official concept art compared to a Darth Plagueis toy found from Google
What if this wasn't just a throw-away dialogue written by George Lucas to motivate the plot BUT the key to the entire Star Wars mythos?

CLEARLY CONTROLLED FIRST FOOTAGE* SPOILER * SPOILER
EDITED TITLE
, shorry I meant to shay, Shean, shaken not shtirred,
Qui-Gon Jinn
in WIPs, Teasers & Releases
Posted · Edited by zeƒilus
Looking great so far, oh and by the way folks, the head is ok, let's not get too nitpicky with this.
The nose looked weird at first, that I can agree on. But in this game you hardly focus on the face of your player model.
It can only look perfect here on the forum, what actually matters ingame is whether he looks too thin or too fat... right?
