There's a much better look at Ken Leung’s character from The Force Awakens on Star Wars 7 News.

 

[Octoberist]

i can't believe he's 45.

 

[Napoleon]

Just wanna say awesome debate Lord and Solidus. Both of you brought up great points.

I just want to add that it's funny that JJ gets flack for stealing ideas from other filmmakers, yet Quentin Tarantino borrows heavily from others as well and he's considered one of the greatest directors of all time (this is not a knock on either of them since I love them both).

 

[Snow Queen]

Ken Leung's in this? Wow, I didn't even know that. Nice to see there might still be a few surprises around.

 

[chamber-music]

JJ getting his buddies some roles.

Greg Grunberg, Simon Pegg and Ken Leung.

 

[Apollo]

J J Abrams on the Daily show. Talks some Star Wars.. though tries to dodge it.

I usually don't dabble in the SW threads (although I totally should) but what's the latest chatter about our first full length trailer? To be honest, I'm amazed we haven't gotten one yet!

 

[xDumpweed182x]

JJ said "in the Fall" so I take that to mean either D23 or September 4th (Force Friday)

That's still summer.

 

[Serpico Jones]

El Mayimbe is saying Felicity Jones will play Boba Fett's daughter in Rogue One.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

That's laughable. So I laughed.

 

[Octoberist]

El Mayimbe is saying Felicity Jones will play Boba Fett's daughter in Rogue One.

Haha.

 

[Octoberist]

I still remember when he said that Colin Trevvorow was locked in for Episode 9 and that it would be announced at Comic Con...

Ailyn Vel? That would be interesting. I'd like to see her.

 

[Sawyer]

I still remember when he said that Colin Trevvorow was locked in for Episode 9 and that it would be announced at Comic Con...

All of his bulls*** would be somewhat forgivable if he would ever ADMIT WHEN HE'S WRONG! Anytime one of his scoops turns to s***, he's all "Well, no no no, one of my sources gave me the wrong info!" Don't pass the buck, Maybe, it's you.

 

[Snow Queen]

I'm sure LucasFilm scrapped the announcement at Comic Con and hired a different director just to spite him. He couldn't have gotten it wrong, after all.

 

[Solidus]

So MSW has unveiled another possible name for either the Jungle Planet that Maz is on, or the Snow Planet near the end.

Spoiler

So one of the Lego sets reveals the Battle of Takodana. It is unsure if its the snow planet or the jungle. Jason seems to think the Jungle. So if that is the case the list may go as follows

-Jakku (confirmed)-Desert Planet
-Takodana (rumored)-Jungle Planet
-Ryoome (rumored) -Snow/Forest Planet
-Unknown planet that Luke is on.

 

[Solidus]

As for that rumor...yeah El Maybe did not think that through. Boba was 10 in AOTC. This film will take place about 20 years AOTC. I doubt he was having kids during that time.

 

[Marvolo]

He would have been in his 30. He might have been hooking up with some random women back then. My question tho is can a clone, even an unaltered one, have children?

 

[Solidus]

Yes, but Jones' character will be what around 20? Even if he's 30...what did he start having kids when he was 11? But the source alone should tell us, it's probably not the case.

No previously seen planets returning so far? Interesting.

 

[Doctor Jones]

So apparently Abrams broke his back during filming right when Ford shattered his ankle? Holy ****, I can see why they covered that up. If that got out that would have caused a lot of alarming and out of hand speculation.

 

[Apollo]

he broke his L-4 - ouch - when trying to lift the door off Harrison's foot.

He also used to work at a comic book store. I never knew that. I wonder what his favorite comics are.
