Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Anyone ever notice that the Force itself is never really acknowledged by non-Jedi in the prequels? As if it's some secret voodoo only the initiated are privy to. Are non-Jedi even interested in investigating the Force and learning what it is? Have there been any novels about Force-Muggles expressing curiosity in becoming a Jedi but being sorely disappointed and broken-spirited that they have no sensitivity to the Force and have the deal with the fact that they'll never know what it's like to use it?

And then he got himself killed claiming he would become more powerful than Vader could imagine, but all he did afterwards was make a few faint ghost appearances and speak half gibberish to Luke.

Fate of the Jedi: Backlash by Aaron Allston has a character named Dyon Stadd who failed Luke's New Jedi Order trials, he took it well though. This all Legends Non-canon material of course.

Will 2,215 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Here's the new trailer's music isolated. My skills are extremely amateur (it's in mono and I'm sure not nearly as polished as someone like Fennel Ka would make it) but I hope some might enjoy having this. Rogue One - A Star Wars Story Trailer #2 (Isolated Score).mp3 I've looked around but I still have no idea who composed the above music (obviously not JW, but beyond that...). Also, this is a little off topic but I found someone on Soundcloud posting a rejected cue of theirs for the first teaser from April. Here's what they said: Quote I had the unique opportunity to pitch doing music for the Rogue Two trailer, which is now out. It came down to me and a few others, but unfortunately my piece was not selected (though you'll hear a VERY similar intro). The client requested extensive use of the imperial march and the two minute length, everything else was up to me! A lot more JW influence there but I think the final music is better. Interesting that A) This guy didn't see the trailer when he was writing and B) that so many different composers were hired. Lucasfilm treats this very seriously, apparently (well, I guess we already knew that, given what happened with JW's TFA teaser 2 music being chopped up or even rejected entirely, or something of the sort). @Skelly you might be interested.

Popular Post Will 2,215 Posted October 15, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2016 On 10/11/2016 at 9:44 PM, Muad'Dib said: What was Lucas' treatment like? There's a lot we still don't know about it, but there are a few things we know, mostly from the art book, with some additional info from Pablo Hidalgo, Lucasfilm Creative Executive, on Twitter, and GL himself: - Two main characters were Skylar (who became Finn) and Thea (who became Rey). - Lucas's treatment centered on teenagers (so presumably Skylar and Thea were teens). - Part of the story took place on the planet Felucia (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Felucia). This planet featured in ROTS during the Order 66 montage, looking very fantastical and awesome, but also cartoonish... Spoiler For what it's worth, though, the art for the planet shown in the TFA book didn't include any of these mushroom things. - GL was interested in using the Legends character of Darth Talon (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Talon). - There were no twins a la Jacen and Jaina (who were never GL's idea anyway). - There was no Mara Jade. GL didn't ever have her as part of his storytelling. - Chewbacca was in it. - GL has talked in the 80s and 90s about the sequel trilogy: "If the first trilogy [I,II, III] is social and political and talks about how society evolves, Star Wars [IV, V, VI] is more about personal growth and self realization, and the third [VII, VIII, IX] deals with moral and philosophical problems," he once said. Also, referring to the sequel trilogy, he said, "The other one — what happens to Luke afterward — is much more ethereal ... It would be about the rebuilding of the Republic, the necessity for moral choices and the wisdom needed to distinguish right from wrong. So the sequels, the three films that would follow Jedi, are considerably vaguer." Along these lines, some of the early concept art depicted a world of fire and ice, a villain with a lightsaber with one red side and one blue side, a Force ghost of half Anakin half Vader, Luke rather than Ren keeping Vader's helmet around, etc. Clearly the artists were inspired by Lucas's "good and evil in all of us" theme. This isn't much, unfortunately. I've done a ton of research since the film came out and this is essentially all I know. It seems that GL's ideas had already been sort of "rejected" by the time they started creating art in January 2013, so at that point they were in the stage where they were using his treatment as a starting point but weren't actually "following" it. We do know that the treatment was provided to the art team at that time. Speaking more broadly about how GL's ideas have been used... - He wrote multiple treatments -- for 7, 8, and 9, he says, (although Pablo Hidalgo says it was only for 7) that he gave to Disney, as well as for a bunch of other movies (for example, all the Anthology films except for Rogue One are his ideas). - He attended some early TFA story meetings, apparently. - He claims his TFA ideas were discarded; Disney claims the final story used his treatment as a starting point and evolved from there, and that this is perfectly normal. Hopefully the TFA making of book coming out next year (it's been mysteriously delayed from this month to next spring, and rumors are it may even be canceled. Strange.) will answer some of my questions. J.W. Rinzler has hinted that it will touch on GL's stories. GL's ideas sound intriguing and I wish we'd gotten to see them realized. Oh well. EDIT: Oh wow. According to this article - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-03-07/how-disney-bought-lucasfilm-and-its-plans-for-star-wars - Michael Arndt was working on the TFA script and Kasdan consulting before the sale to Disney; in fact, before June 2012. I thought it was after. Interesting. Also in that article: Quote At first Lucas wouldn’t even turn over his rough sketches of the next three Star Warsfilms. When Disney executives asked to see them, he assured them they would be great and said they should just trust him. “Ultimately you have to say, ‘Look, I know what I’m doing. Buying my stories is part of what the deal is.’ I’ve worked at this for 40 years, and I’ve been pretty successful,” Lucas says. “I mean, I could have said, ‘Fine, well, I’ll just sell the company to somebody else.’ ” Once Lucas got assurances from Disney in writing about the broad outlines of the deal, he agreed to turn over the treatments—but insisted they could only be read by Iger, Horn, and Kevin Mayer, Disney’s executive vice president for corporate strategy. “We promised,” says Iger. “We had to sign an agreement.” When Iger finally got a look at the treatments, he was elated. “We thought from a storytelling perspective they had a lot of potential,” he says. It sounds like maybe Iger gave Lucas his word he'd use the treatments ... but then didn't. Who knows. This is kinda like the teaser 2 Williams-or-not situation. So many conflicting accounts and such. 22 hours ago, Skelly said: Yeah, his use of samples is a little grating... there are people who really can wrap their heads around how to make samples sound more realistic and punchy, but the guys who have scored the last trailer or two aren't those sorts of composers (yet).

Incredible work! So much better than what I did. I love the bit here (are those, like, rock music chords?): My favorite musical moment in the last trailer was...

Nick1Ø66 4,714 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Great post Will! Very informative. I read another article that basically said that the only reason Lucas threw together treatments for 7, 8 & 9 at all was to increase the perceived value of the franchise once Disney became interested...there are suggestions the he led Disney to believe he had completed story treatments when he actually didn't. Which given GL's procrastination and hatred of writing rings true to me. I have no doubt he had ideas in his head, and maybe some rough ideas scribbled about somewhere. But remember the early stories, before the news of the sale to Disney broke, about how LucasFilm was gearing up for a new trilogy? All that pre-pre-production was apparently done to increase the value of the company to perspective suitors, and didn't represent a real desire by Lucas to make the films himself. Really interested in TFA making of book, had no idea something like that was even in the cards. Is Rintzler writing it? I'm still waiting for a comprehensive Making of LOTR book as well.

Will 2,215 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 SOME SPOILERS! http://makingstarwars.net/2016/10/34244/ This is a very interesting shot-by-shot review of the latest trailer. A lot of cool things you miss just watching yourself. However, if you are trying to avoid spoilers you should probably stay away from it just to be safe. There's nothing too major but some of the shots are put into some more context about where they might fit in the film. One thing that's not too spoiler-y that it mentions is the fallen Jedi statue on Jedha. I didn't realize that's what it was when I watched. Also, another really insightful article from Classic FM about the latest trailer music. I love how they tell us how the trailer music is a sign of what's to come in the score.

There would have been Rebel sympathizers there, though, maybe just financiers and anti-Empire hippies. Tarkin blew it up because he wanted to strike a personal blow at Leia and destroy a system in the Core as opposed to one in the Outer Rim to show the Empire meant business. There's a difference between designing a system or subsystem and actually implementing it to completion. The films aren't specific yet on just how much those flying monkeys designed.

The trailer shows footage that strongly looks like Yavin IV. Jungles with a big hangar type building overhead to look like the Massassi temple. I'm assuming that is the planet where Mon Mothma is talking to Jyn. This movie should take place mere months or weeks before Episode IV so there should not be enough time to change from a different base (Dantooine?) to Yavin. The confusing part is that we see ground combat on a different planet with jungle and water in the trailer. Another Yavin lookalike is sloppy planning. Guess we have to wait for the finished movie.

I'm still waiting for a comprehensive Making of LOTR book as well. I did some more research, and, whoa boy, it's not looking so good for this book. We might never get to read it, even though it's been written. Here's the Amazon link, although since I last checked they removed the synopsis and other info. Now it's almost a blank entry -- just the title, essentially. That doesn't bode well. https://www.amazon.com/The-Making-Star-Wars-Awakens/dp/1419720228 J.W. Rinzler is indeed co-writing it, with Mark Cotta Vaz. It was originally supposed to be released in March; then the date was moved to October; then it was moved back to next spring; now there is no date. Anyway, Rinzler has spoken about his involvement in multiple interviews, the first of these in May: http://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2016/05/swnn-exclusive-full-interview-with-аuthor-j-w-rinzler.html Quote I was with them (Lucasfilm) right up until the release of the film. My last day was December 31st ... I did a manuscript of The Making of The Force Awakens with Mark Vaz. I’m not the spokesperson, you know, I’m not sure what the last thing they said, in terms of what’s happening with the book. I think they have delayed it. For, you know, whatever reasons. About GL's stories: Quote SWNN: I was wondering if you ever, in talking with George, obviously before he sold the company to Disney, if he ever talked about his intentions for the Sequel Trilogy? You know, what his broad strokes would have been for the Skywalker saga, essentially. Rinzler: He did, but given how he’s said they didn’t really follow his ideas, it’s for him to say. Because the book has been delayed, I really don’t think I can talk about it–except to say that when the book does come out, if it’s as originally written, fans will learn a lot more. That "fans will learn a lot more" is tantalizing... Quote SWNN: You said that from December 31 you no longer work at LFL. Does that mean that the book will be finished without any further contribution from you, and will you be still listed as one of the authors as it is right now on Amazon? Rinzler: I’ll still be one of the two authors, me and Vaz, at least that’s my assumption. When they are ready to go I assume I’ll be asked to help finish up, etc. Quote SWNN: Is there any chance to see you back working with LFL and doing some future Star Wars projects, or your divorce with them is final? Is there a place for compromises? Rinzler: I wouldn’t call it a divorce; it was just time for new and younger folks to carry on and time for me to go freelance, for personal reasons, too. It’s possible I’ll do another book or two with Disney/Lucasfilm, yes. He actually kind of lumps praise on the prequels, too, interestingly. Then, more recently, in August, he talked again: http://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2016/08/j-w-rinzler-gives-an-update-on-the-making-of-star-wars-the-force-awakens-book.html Quote There’s a lot of new information. They really didn’t release a lot of information. I don’t know what form the book is going to come out, and frankly, I don’t know if it’s coming out in October. Nobody has said that to me, and someone else has said it might be, and I checked with the publisher, and they said it’s news to them. So it might just be Amazon… Again, I don’t work there anymore, so I’m not privy to information, but I think they would have let me know. … It’s a compelling book, and you’d have to ask them why it’s been delayed. Around the same time, he said this (whoa, he says it's canceled): And then Pablo Hidalgo of Lucasfilm said the above in a Twitter exchange. Now, there are several reasons why this book could be delayed or canceled. The conspiracy theorists will claim that Rinzler was too close to Lucas and may have painted his stories in a great light and made it seem like Disney flat-out, rudely rejected his ideas, and that therefore Disney doesn't want the book published. Others think it's just a matter of avoiding spoiling future plot points. Perhaps it's hard to talk about TFA without spoiling anything from the future, so they want to wait to release this for a few years. Who knows. But this is all very disappointing. Sounds like Rinzler hasn't been treated very well by Lucasfilm/Disney. First Lucas, then Edwards, then Desplat, now Rinzler... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
