'Star Wars: Episode 9' Hires 'Blade Runner 2049' Art Director
I didn't know it was possible for Star Wars films to look better but it seems like it is.
This is fantastic news.

Maybe they're a little worried JJ might not live up to the visual brilliance found in TLJ and wanna help him out.

EDIT:

Paul Inglis, art director on Skyfall, Game of Thrones, Prometheus, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, Children of Men, and of course, Blade Runner 2049

Oh.

Oh

I'm happy to wait as long as it takes for a satisfying end to the trilogy. Between a director and writer change and one of the main cast members passing away ( :( ) there's some heavy impacts to production and they'll probably need more time

For better or worse, JJ has about the same schedule on IX (Sept 2017 to Dec 2019) that he had on TFA, starting from the time he took over scripting (Oct 2013 to Dec 2015).

Why the Millenium Falcon looks different in Solo

"Where Han gave it a certain shabby coolness and a dinged up quality that reflected where he was at that point in his life, this Falcon reflects its owner very clearly in its shape and aesthetic and his needs, even if those needs be a little more space to entertain," says Jon Kasdan (writer-director of The First Time) who wrote the Solo screenplay with his father, Lawrence Kasdan (veteran co-writer of The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and The Force Awakens.)

"One of the things Larry and I had talked about was the Falcon should always reflect the personality of its captain," he adds.

Alden Ehrenreich, who is taking over the smuggler role from Harrison Ford, says there's more going on than neglect when it comes to the grimy interior and exposed panels we see in Han Solo's later incarnation of the Falcon.

"It's safer in the galaxy to fly something that looks like a piece of junk. People underestimate you — especially if you're up to no good," the actor tells EW. "Kinda like how you're more likely to get pulled over if you're driving a Lamborghini."

EW have a first look at some of the Solo merch as well. No sign of the Black Series figures yet.

In Star Wars the milk used to only be blue
but now it can also be green
You've made Rey real uncomfortable
Thala-Siren you are my Queen

Why weren't those Snowtroopers in Hoth? Fucking fucked up by sending these derps.

That's honestly the worst Trooper design in the movies, it doesn't look badass enough.

I don't like the cloth thing they got going on, it looks weird as hell.
I really like their TFA counterpart:

I really dig the ST trooper designs, but I think I've also come to realize that I can't stop loving the OG trooper -- specifically the shoulder pad variant.

latest


Not to mention the helmet is oddly more friendly to me now thanks to the tons of parody material that's used them.

I love all the trooper designs but OG Stormie will always be my fave

The subtle changes Rian made to the helmet in TLJ do make a surprising difference and look great on the 'Executioner' variant

Luke tossed your saber over his shoulder
I guess he'd rather attend to his chores
He could not have treated you colder
but it's warm here with me by the fire
and this murder of porgs
