Romão 2,274 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Yeah, that set was built on the Irish mainland in order to replicate the scenery and Skellig Michael and allow for more versatility in the shooting process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got a crane there and everything! Most directors would've lumped that one in the too-hard basket. Should make for some amazing helicopter cinematography, especially at sunset. Yea!

The Daniel Craig one was jarringly absurd, and felt shoehorned to say the least. If not for his ego that scene might have actually given Phasma something to do (albeit it would have ended differently of course, but you get the idea).

Barnald 365 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I was referring to the sequence in general. You have this bog-standard soldier - almost always cannon fodder in these films - come out of nowhere and for some reason he's equipped with an anti-lightsaber device and knows how to defend himself against one. This opens up a can of worms I don't really want to get into, but suffice to say, wouldn't it have made more sense just to have Captain Phasma as this soldier, since A) she's an established character at that point; B) you suppose she is a superior, elite soldier; and C) we've had some background between her and Finn. And as I said before, at least it would give her something to do. Only when you learn that the soldier was played by Craig does it begin to make sense.

Oh dear. I remember seeing an article once about the cameo which featured a picture of the trooper from that scene, and I just assumed it was him in that scene (I can't say I noticed Daniel Craig voicing the trooper in the mind-trick scene, it didn't cross my mind at all). Might teach me to read the article in future, save me from embarrassing myself. I've lived in blissful ignorance these past five months! Still, the point in essence stands (just remove all Daniel Craig references). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll change it to the scene itself (the one with Finn, not the mind trick one) was jarring (at least to me) if that helps my case. I'm determined to salvage a shred of integrity here. Clearly I've already embarrassed myself beyond all measure. To be honest, I've no idea why I wandered into this thread in the first place. And Snoke is clearly Daniel Craig.

Will 2,215 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 THERE ARE MAJOR SPOILERS AT THE LINK BELOW. DO NOT CLICK IT IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE SPOILED! A MakingStarWars.net report (I didn't use the actual link text because it might be considered a spoiler) This sounds really cool! DON'T CLICK ON THE HIDDEN TEXT BELOW EITHER IF YOU DON'T WANT A MAJOR SPOILER. Spoiler Really changes the way you think about the Force-back from TFA. I always thought the Knights of Ren shot from there was from the past, but it could actually have been a look at the future (the events of Episode 8).

Quintus 5,399 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I'd consider it one actually, if it turned out correct. If it is something I'd not considered before and then proven to by accurate it'd be spoilersome.

mrbellamy 6,272 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Not reading that, but after TFA came out I went skimming through old spoilers and Making Star Wars had compiled basically the whole story before the summer. Just about everything they got their hands on was either dead accurate or on the right track so the spoiler-wary should probably (definitely) stay away from there. Seems like they check their sources more than others and are pretty straight up about what they do and don't know. Will and Bilbo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I read once in an interview with the editor-in-chief, Jason Ward, that they only post info that's been confirmed by multiple sources. And even the stuff they post that doesn't end up in the movie isn't usually wrong, because it was an early idea that just didn't make it into the final film. Making Star Wars is not speculation.
