Rian Johnson coming to meet the fans at the overnight hall was amazing for me, and I feel grateful that he made so many people like me happy with pictures and autographs and his overall friendliness.
Qasim Hassan me too. Made my 9 year old kid very happy. He is already an aspiring filmmaker and he will never forget the night he met Rian Johnson at midnight at Star Wars Celebration.
Remember that Hamill meant that he disagreed with Rian's take on the character after his FIRST reading of the script. He meant that that was his initial reaction. But then Hamill goes on to explain that he realized his ideas aren't always the best for the story or the direction it should be going. He used the example of how he initially thought Luke appearance in Episode 7 might come off badly. But then he says he thought it turned out really well because of John Williams score and Daisy Ridley's performance. Also let's not forget during the panel Mark Hamill says Rian Johnson is the best writer/director he'd ever worked with. So I think all of his comments are just saying he was skeptical upon reading the script for the first time.
I think I actually managed to laugh and cry simultaneously. If anyone didn't cry their eye's out at that, they need to be seriously examined for some kind of hideous zombie disease.
I need the Council to do percentages for KOTOR/ Revan movie! Also, Christian mentioned something about a similar story arc with Rey which seems pretty cool, just wondering who she could previously have been.
Me too. So why show Revan. I do think he will be made canon in the not to distant future. I also think the long rumored live action show will be about the old republic because you simply could not tell that tale in a one off movie. The saga movies [trilogies] seem to concentrate on the Skywalker family.
i second that. honestly im 100% certain that he will be canonized. hes too beloved a character. they just want to do it right and not bastardize the character we love
Kyp yeah I'm pretty sure Vos didn't die in Dark Disciple, I haven't read it in a while though, was there something else later on that he died in? Anyway, Momoa as Vos would be fucking perfect
I think people are forgetting the part of the quote where mark says "and once I got into it most of my fears went away." I think mark hammill wanted luke to be some old Jedi that is entirely heroic (like obi wan in a new hope) but that he is actually a broken man who is somewhat cowardly and has had enough of being a Jedi. I trust Rian Johnson and I do not think mark thinks that the script sucks, just that it's a much different take than he wanted
If there was ever a day I needed to escape to a Galaxy far, far away, it's today. Star Wars & Jedi Council never fails on helping me do that. Thank goodness for Star Wars & thank goodness for Jedi Council.
I think Hammil is throwing everybody off on purpose, he's being deceiving so that it makes people talk. Something that led me to believe this was when he was speaking at the panel and was really beating around the bush about Luke and Kathleen Kenedy cut him off to say that Luke is a major part of the film. Cuz Mark was really not giving much info at all. He's very much downplaying his role atm and it's probably gonna be bigger than anyone expects.
As a diehard Ahsoka fan, I HATE the wolf idea. If we are to have Ahsoka back, I want her to be "really" back, not some Direwolf nonsense. It would be a shame for her character to just suddenly take a turn into that would limit her ability in future stories. If they kill her off in Season 4, I want Togruta Ahsoka to give an emotional farewell, not as a Force Wolf. If she survives Rebels Season 4, turning her would regulate her to, well, what a wolf can do. And Ahsoka is so much more than that. Although this is a stubborn Ahsoka fan over here who grew up alongside her, so I'm incredibly protective of her character. Maybe, I'm crazy. I actually think these wolves seen in the trailer are the ones mentioned by Filoni in the Ahsoka Tales panel at last year's Celebration. During Order 66, while Clone Troopers were after her on some planet whose name escapes me, they ran into Ahsoka but she had these two Mononoke-type wolves, with legs like tree trunks, that came to her aid. I think these will be almost her "spirit guides" in a way, but however Filoni incorporates them in Rebels, I'd down. *sigh* I still trust Filoni, because if there is anyone who loves Ahsoka more than the fans, it's Filoni himself.
I hope they don't go the route of Ahsoka being the large wolf. That concept is going to suck balls. Vader didn't defeat her at the end of season 2. That was a good, evenly matched duel. Why is it all of a sudden that people think she didn't survive the fight? If anything, I think the series demonstrated how powerful she's become since the Clone Wars. She was a good fighter then, she was going toe to toe with Vader here with a dual fencing style to boot. To me, she's shown that going Grey Jedi is the way to go. Comes back to that theme of having balance in the Force. It looked like she went into the Sith temple in the end of Season 2 after the fight with Vader. To me, that fight was a draw. I think having her come out a little darker having learned from the Sith holicrons would be a much better direction for her storyline.
So fun seeing you guys at celebration! I was so happy that I got into the Jedi Council and Schmoedown panels and I even got a picture with Perri! Here's to Celebration 2019!
Every time I look at the amount of subscribers they have I still wonder how they don't have AT LEAST 500,000 subscribers. Collider's content is so great!!!
PurpleNaruga the big 3 of the legends universe would be Revan, Thrawn, and Kyle Katarn. Bane I'd say is a close 4th, but you could open a film with any of the big 3 mentioned and have it span multiple films easily.
revan will get in eventually....they dropped the ball on kyle kataran, i assume they didnt wanna pay for the rights to him? same with most legends characters/backstory who owns the rights
does anyone else besides me want a standalone vader movie? he could hunt down some surviving jedi while being plagued by visions of padme yoda and obi wan
I don't think that a movie with Vader as a protagonist would work all that well. Not post-mask Vader. A story like that I think should be left for comics or books, but Vader works much better as an antagonist in a film. As a protagonist, he would not have much to say considering with normal demeanor, facial expressions would be non-existent, and the film would almost be action and slaughter for the sake of it.I'd LOOOOVE a Vader story, but I do'n't think it would work. Read the Purge comic for an example of this. It's Legends, but it's still really cool. AND we're getting a new on-going Darth Vader series set right after RotS, in which he hunts down some Jedi, so there's some Vader stories for ya!
Last Friday at the beginning of Star Wars Celebration, while speaking on stage to the crowd Kathleen Kennedy said that the success of Rogue One has given her and her colleagues the confidence to proceed and develop more future Star Wars film projects similar to Rogue One. This most likely means Kathleen Kennedy is willing to consider green lighting darker themed Star Wars films. This is good news for a potential Darth Vader film. I mean if a film like Rogue One where all of the film's main protagonists get killed by the Empire and the film still grosses over 1 Billion dollars then why not make a Darth Vader film while James Earl Jones is still around to provide the iconic voice of Darth Vader and maybe make 2 Billion dollars at the world wide box office.
We had three prequels that were supposed to do that. If he has multiple scenes like Rogue One's cameo, it would be better. He's kind of that behind the scenes guy that's a badass when it comes to absolutes.
I would love a standalone "Vader" movie, but I wouldn't want the protagonist to be Darth himself. Vader is best when used conservatively. Instead, have the movie be from the perspective of one of the surviving Jedi after Order 66. It could have a horror movie vibe to it, as our protagonist is hunted by Vader, ending in their inevitable defeat.
Mark's tribute to Carie was really touching as well. I thought it was great. The John Williams moment was tear jerking. Even from home on RUclips. Hard not to well up
DUDE! Me and my Brother lived off of Nathan's Hot dogs at this years celebration they were awesome for some reason. I thought everything was awesome. I Cos-played as Mase Windu I met fans from all over the globe. Talked Star Wars with Strangers who suddenly felt like family. It was a wonderful experience especially for my first time. After watching Celebration 2016 from Home last year. I can tell you this was a much better experience. I barely slept the whole time I did Photo Ops and autographs with Hamill and Billy D. I did miss the Jedi council panels just because i was so dam tired at the end of each day at celebration. But I did make the Last Jedi and Rebels panels. The First episode of Rebels was awesome and a real treat.
Revan is by FAR the most popular character in legend's history, imo. Everytime there's any type of poll about a legend's character, Revan comes out ontop.
I would love to see an Old Republic Trilogy and an Obi-Wan standalone spinoff. I'd think it be cool to expand the universe into tv shows so that way they don't have to put so much focus on a fourth Trilogy.
When Tiffany is jet-lagged she really compliments the council. This was one of my favorite episodes! Don't get me wrong I love this girl, but I hate the giggles because I take STARWARS so seriously. Alas, this a flaw in my character, not hers, so I apologize if anyone takes this as insulting. This is an awesome council line-up, love' em all.
Jesus Christ, I can't tell Mark Reilly and Ken Napzok apart when they're in the same video. I was legitimately very confused. But I love you both in your own way, keep on keeping on.
The stream for the 40th anniversary absolutely sucked. We missed some of the best parts. Also, some screens weren't shown from some of the panels on the streams. So I'd say being there would have been so much better!
LevelGap Gaming jesus christ dude tone down the fucking negative shit,everything fucking comment is you talking shit...if you don't like the new movies then don't reply and keep that bullshit to yourself
Richie J they actually have already explained why he was in the tank in previous novels. Vader has been complaining a bunch of times about how uncomfortable his new suit/armor is, so he likes to get nakey and float around so he feels better :)
I would love it, somewhere on the other side of the galaxy in a system no one has heard of, there's the neatest characters and the greatest story yet to be told in the Star Wars universe. Lets go there soon so Star Wars can blow the minds of this generation.
only issue i had with celebration london wasnt the content, it was wristbanding, they had in writing on the website that no bands would be let out until 9am an hour before doors open inside the convention. So ok thats cool so if you want to queue up night before thats fine too if your hardcore enough and live local. But for me i got there at 7am morning of day one only to find out that lucasfilm decided to open the doors to get wristbands at 10pm the night before and giving out free pizza, and soon as people heard this news, locals in london went rushing to the arena to get wristbands earlier than they thought they could, meaning people like myself who were travelling down on the day couldnt get there in time. You dont change the rules of the smallprint with tickets and wristbands as people as planned hotel and travel. That was a big no no for me, i dont know if they did that again in orlando but they sure pissed me off last year... I did get to meet Perri though and one fan gave me the rogue one poster which was kind of them as id missed out on one. I agree though the buzz of being at celebration was still awesome even though i didnt get to any panels.
Only way you can justify the scar change is that the Bacta tank mostly healed it but not fully and it resulted in the slight movement and thinned it out a lot
I think the best Idea for a Star Wars Live Action Series, would be just about Coruscant between III and IV. Imagine something like Game of Thrones, where you switch between the Characters. You have Underworld Criminals, Imperial Moffs, Senators, some regular Stormtrooper who is just serving his duty, you could have Cameos by Vader and the Emperor, and maybe even Thrawn, Yularen or Sloane. It wouldnt need too big of a budget, because you can shoot the most scenes indoor with Sets that you can reuse, and you dont need too much Space Scenes because you stick to the Planet. And there would be soooo much potential for Storys. Imagine a Imperial Senator who slowly figures out that they are building the Death Star, and then gets murdered by a ISB Agent, or a Rebel Spy who tries to recruit some resistance fighters to attack the Palace...so many possiblites!
This gets me more excited. As much as I loved R1, Gareth Edwards heavily detailed it. They hired him for his great scope which he delivered but he even admitted that he first planned shots and wrote the movie around the shots. Rian Johnson genuinely wants to take the story in a new direction over the visuals and that is some of the best news I've hesrd
Kristian prior to last week, "I think we're gonna get Ewan McGregor and a Kenobi announcement and the new animated show premise." Kristian this week, "Of course we didn't get anything on the Kenobi movie or new animated series. It would take away from the 40th Anniversary and Carrie Fisher stuff." I like how he can be right no matter what.
Rey's backstory. I was thinking about how Daisy has said she felt it was "obvious" who her parents are so I really thought about it. This is what I came up with. 1.) Leia cheated on Han or vice versa (though if it's Han it'd have to be a force sensitive woman). The child tore them apart and caused their split and Ben was bitter and angry over his family being torn apart. That's why he refers to Rey as if he knows of her but never met her. She was training with Luke as well until Kylo snapped and destroyed the order and she was hidden for her safety. 2.) She's from the unknown regions. She was dropped on Jakku at the edge of the galaxy and mind wiped. Possibly evil origins like Abeloth or she was mind wiped like anakin was when The Brother showed him the future. Snoke wants her as a host (he's also from Unknown regions). Possible tie-in to Thrawn's personal mission. Whatcha think Collider crew?
Been rewatching SW Clone Wars and this time, I'm really appreciating the QUALITY of animation, cgi vfx if you can call it that (still). It's amazing and beautiful - production budget must have been huge!
With Rebels I'm so glad I stuck with it through season 1. I thought a few times they would go to "Disney". Clone Wars was Gun Smoke and Rebels was Bonanza. I loved how CW would tell stories from anywhere and anyone in the galaxy.
In the future id love a live action anakin and obiwan clone wars standalone movie. This may add to the lack of friendship between the 2 seen in the prequels and the potential to see rex and ahsoka even? Also putting emphasis on the jedi we got to know which will add more weight to the order 66 sequence. Dave filoni could have his chance in the directors seat (though i know hes busy with animation but come on! Its about time) plus, hayden and ewan still look relatively young. I get that we should explore new territory but clone wars era is just great! And seeing a more in depth look at the clone wars in live action is just the film i need. Dont feel like we got enough in episodes 2-3 as there were other story elements in the way to really show the clone wars in a real gritty live action setting.
Ahsoka's theme and the Imperial March were played during the concept art reveal of the Mando helmets for S4: hopefully this signals Vader wiping out some Mandos and a final duel with Ahsoka.
I had the chance to go to celebration and got into 40th and last jedi panels live. It was the an amazing 4 days would do it again in a heartbeat. Also both your panels were really fun! Especially the Schmoedown.
I'm mad at the fact that last years Star Wars Celebration in London was basically a car boot sale (flea market to you Americans) with the odd special guest compared to this years Celebration. Goes to show when it comes to any kind of cons (comic, video game etc), we here in inland get crapped on!!!
I do want to give Filoni some props. I don't like everything he's done, but he made Anakin a likeable, understandable, relatable character, and all the more tragic for it. And he created Ahsoka, giving her a full, rich, "realistic" journey from an annoying kid that was one of my least liked characters in Star Wars, to a teenaged character that I really enjoyed and saw a lot of growth and potential in, to an adult character that I love. I do hope we see more of her in some form.
Silky Johnson Don't forget if you order now with code "COLLIDERSCOFFIN" you get the limited time offer carrie fisher edition. There going fast so fact now.
One thing to consider about Hamill's feelings about Luke: Johnson may have given him a character arch that ends in XI. His arch may end more in line with the ROTJ Luke we knew. I'm not sure Hamill has read anything for XI yet.
Regarding Mark Hamill's comments, anyone who grew up with the OT certainly spent countless hours thinking about where these characters would go next. Hamill has probably been thinking about and crafting his story in his head for 30 years, only to have it all be pointless because of the new direction Rian, JJ, and crew have taken things. I don't think it's a bad omen for the Last Jedi, so much as a sign of a unique storyteller and fan getting to show what he can do. If they rehashed ESB, we would complain about it being unoriginal . If they had just adapted the Thrawn trilogy, it would have been cool see come to life, but we would complain that it was unoriginal. If they introduced the Yuuzhan Vong, there would be rioting in the streets.... so I am glad they're spinning a new story. Keeps us all on our toes.
going to star wars celebration or streaming from home is the same reason people go to sporting events. sure you can watch from home but it is fun to be there in the moment.
I was at Celebration last year and in terms of Movies stuff, there seemed more last year. We the directors of Han Solo and Youn Han Solo himself on stage. We had a Rogue one trailer plus the same as this year Rebels ,Mark Hamil etc.
Last week was my first Star Wars Celebration, and it will also probably be my last. The wrist band panels were managed so poorly. If you have one major panel each day, have a enough spaces set aside for EVERY badge for that day. Loved the Collider Panel and Meet Up.
I'm guessing he meant the 40th panel too, but you never know he might not have realised he was there. I have to give props to Denis Lawson for showing up, he's been quite outspokenly negative about Star Wars in the past and I think only now is he starting to be proud he was involved with it.
Seriously? Both movies we've gotten so far have had so many brand news characters. TFA introduced our 3 new main characters, and all the main characters in Rogue One were brand new. The Last Jedi will have brand new characters with Benicia Del Toro and Laura Dern. The Bounty Hunter movie won't even be solely about Boba Fett there will be plenty of other bounty hunters in it. The Han Solo movie is the only thing that's main characters won't be new. Don't complain.
Mark Hamill's full quote about his character: "I fundamentally disagree with virtually everything you've decided about my character, but might be a good sign because I was really wrong about my character in episode VII."
I had a huge crush on Mark Hamill when Star Wars & Empire came out (even though I knew that Harrison Ford was more popular)! But nowadays, I just can't listen to Mark drone on during interviews - it's just a bit too much for me. I enjoy his Tweets which are always hilarious. But yea, in terms of grumpy Mark, is it just me or is he very swell headed now and taking himself really, REALLY seriously? During the fight in the snow scene, I totally gasped and my heart leapt when the lightsaber flew to Rey!!!!! YES!!!!! I'm totally fine that it did not fly to Luke and that he didn't appear in the snow battle scene. I'm pumped to see him return in Last Jedi and he will always be hugely significant but still...they are reviving the brand for new generation. It's impossible for young kids to see Luke now and feel the same way we did when we were young - no nostalgia. It's like me watching George Reeves be Superman sort of. My son truly loves Star Wars and I introduced him to all the originals & prequels but he can't take the old VFX seriously...he doesn't take the old acting/action scenes too seriously - he says everybody jumps backwards when they get shot and you can clearly see them jumping up n' back... Personally, I'm loving the Star Wars revival because the quality of those battle scenes are everything I ever wanted...wish they were longer scenes too! You feel like you're the pilot - it's enough to make me go buy PS4 and Battlefront haha
Can we slow down on all the new aliens and planets and have some returning ones in the background AND forfront in Han Solo and Episode 8? It feels like they are adding so many new ones that it feels very very disconnected to the Star Wars universe, as if it takes place in a different Galaxy. A nice balance of old and new aliens and planets is all I'm asking for.

Help us, Obi-Wan standalone. You're our only hope.
Rian Johnson coming to meet the fans at the overnight hall was amazing for me, and I feel grateful that he made so many people like me happy with pictures and autographs and his overall friendliness.
Qasim Hassan me too. Made my 9 year old kid very happy. He is already an aspiring filmmaker and he will never forget the night he met Rian Johnson at midnight at Star Wars Celebration.
Give us a KOTOR trilogy! Nothing would be more awesome than this!
Anyone else get happier when you see the video is over an hour long? :)
Remember that Hamill meant that he disagreed with Rian's take on the character after his FIRST reading of the script. He meant that that was his initial reaction. But then Hamill goes on to explain that he realized his ideas aren't always the best for the story or the direction it should be going.

Also let's not forget during the panel Mark Hamill says Rian Johnson is the best writer/director he'd ever worked with.
So I think all of his comments are just saying he was skeptical upon reading the script for the first time.
Did Harloff buy a lightsaber? That's the most important question I have.
This was supposed to be the year! lol
Yup
Dude, yes! I want to know as well!
I dunno about Harloff, but I did
shehchahc
Mark Hamill's panel for Carrie made me full on cry.
I think I actually managed to laugh and cry simultaneously. If anyone didn't cry their eye's out at that, they need to be seriously examined for some kind of hideous zombie disease.
I see Darth Revan I get hyped up
I still have hope they will finally do something with Revan.
Let's hope it's not just "Darth" but rather Revan...as a complete person...he wasn't just a Sith and I feel like a lot of people forget that.
I need the Council to do percentages for KOTOR/ Revan movie! Also, Christian mentioned something about a similar story arc with Rey which seems pretty cool, just wondering who she could previously have been.
Me too. So why show Revan. I do think he will be made canon in the not to distant future. I also think the long rumored live action show will be about the old republic because you simply could not tell that tale in a one off movie. The saga movies [trilogies] seem to concentrate on the Skywalker family.
I'd be down for that too but would love to see it sooner...
I just want Revan canon, i dont care if its a film trilogy or a netflix/HBO miniseries or full series.
I dont understand, why they have Revans picture in the title of this video but they dont mention revan at all ?
They could never make that a one shot. Old Republic, or possibly Darth Bane, should span multiple movies.
i second that. honestly im 100% certain that he will be canonized. hes too beloved a character. they just want to do it right and not bastardize the character we love
It was awesome seeing you guys at Celebration. Thanks for taking pictures with us and talking to us. The council are some real down to Earth dudes.
Jason Momoa as Quinlan Vos being hunted after the Clone Wars. Make it happen Disney!
Kyp yeah I'm pretty sure Vos didn't die in Dark Disciple, I haven't read it in a while though, was there something else later on that he died in? Anyway, Momoa as Vos would be fucking perfect
He's mentioned in episode 3 after dark disciple.
Obi-Wan: "Saleucami has fallen and Master Vos has moved his troops to Boz Pity."
jonathan fletcher oh alright thanks for the info, I had forgotten about that
I think people are forgetting the part of the quote where mark says "and once I got into it most of my fears went away." I think mark hammill wanted luke to be some old Jedi that is entirely heroic (like obi wan in a new hope) but that he is actually a broken man who is somewhat cowardly and has had enough of being a Jedi. I trust Rian Johnson and I do not think mark thinks that the script sucks, just that it's a much different take than he wanted
Billy & Boris His whole family fucks shit up in the galaxy on both sides makes sense he would be a broken man
laughed so hard at 59:01 haha. love david griffin man.
If there was ever a day I needed to escape to a Galaxy far, far away, it's today. Star Wars & Jedi Council never fails on helping me do that. Thank goodness for Star Wars & thank goodness for Jedi Council.
Alexandra Daddario as Ahsoka.
Great show guys, can't go far wrong with Napzok & Reilly on the council for me. Thanks for all the celebration coverage too guys.
I think Hammil is throwing everybody off on purpose, he's being deceiving so that it makes people talk. Something that led me to believe this was when he was speaking at the panel and was really beating around the bush about Luke and Kathleen Kenedy cut him off to say that Luke is a major part of the film. Cuz Mark was really not giving much info at all. He's very much downplaying his role atm and it's probably gonna be bigger than anyone expects.
OneButton Dash exactly man....too many people are worrying too much
As a diehard Ahsoka fan, I HATE the wolf idea. If we are to have Ahsoka back, I want her to be "really" back, not some Direwolf nonsense.

*sigh* I still trust Filoni, because if there is anyone who loves Ahsoka more than the fans, it's Filoni himself.
They should move Kylo's scar in every movie! lol
JDSCT nudge it a few mm until it's floating beside his head
He can be the Igor from Young Frankenstein of Star Wars lol
I hope they don't go the route of Ahsoka being the large wolf. That concept is going to suck balls. Vader didn't defeat her at the end of season 2. That was a good, evenly matched duel. Why is it all of a sudden that people think she didn't survive the fight? If anything, I think the series demonstrated how powerful she's become since the Clone Wars. She was a good fighter then, she was going toe to toe with Vader here with a dual fencing style to boot. To me, she's shown that going Grey Jedi is the way to go.

So fun seeing you guys at celebration! I was so happy that I got into the Jedi Council and Schmoedown panels and I even got a picture with Perri! Here's to Celebration 2019!
Tiff is back. One of the best formations of the council.
I would like them all on the same table, but there would be no space.
I agree, Dwan. Great to have Tiffany back and yes this was one of my favorite Councils as well.
YES
Dwan Garcez De Oliveira I hope this is sarcastic.
Dwan Garcez De Oliveira IMO Tiff > Perri
I missed Tiff it's good to see her back!
Every time I look at the amount of subscribers they have I still wonder how they don't have AT LEAST 500,000 subscribers. Collider's content is so great!!!
It's always good to see Tiffany Smith it brings me back to the far far away days!
Adrian Garcia I miss those days
Fitting Reilly and Tiffany were here since they were the 2 Big Council Members who missed the big Celebration Panel
Thrawn is the most popular character in legends? Thats a funny way to spell Darth Revan
PurpleNaruga the big 3 of the legends universe would be Revan, Thrawn, and Kyle Katarn. Bane I'd say is a close 4th, but you could open a film with any of the big 3 mentioned and have it span multiple films easily.
revan will get in eventually....they dropped the ball on kyle kataran, i assume they didnt wanna pay for the rights to him? same with most legends characters/backstory who owns the rights
Harrison Snellgrove I would actually say the 3 are revan,thrawn and Mara jade
It wasn't spelled tho, it was said so....
PurpleNaruga Bane, bro. Bane!
does anyone else besides me want a standalone vader movie? he could hunt down some surviving jedi while being plagued by visions of padme yoda and obi wan
I don't think that a movie with Vader as a protagonist would work all that well. Not post-mask Vader. A story like that I think should be left for comics or books, but Vader works much better as an antagonist in a film.

Jordan Sherrick they're making a virtual reality film. So if you count that then
A big round of applause for the Collider crew on a job well done. I hope I can be there in 2019.
Love u guys this is my favorite show period and the reason why I found collider and now watch every show u guys have👍🏿
Mark's tribute to Carie was really touching as well. I thought it was great. The John Williams moment was tear jerking. Even from home on RUclips. Hard not to well up
I loved Mark Hamill's panel that was a tribute to Carrie Fisher. It was moving and beautiful.
DUDE! Me and my Brother lived off of Nathan's Hot dogs at this years celebration they were awesome for some reason. I thought everything was awesome. I Cos-played as Mase Windu I met fans from all over the globe. Talked Star Wars with Strangers who suddenly felt like family. It was a wonderful experience especially for my first time. After watching Celebration 2016 from Home last year. I can tell you this was a much better experience. I barely slept the whole time I did Photo Ops and autographs with Hamill and Billy D. I did miss the Jedi council panels just because i was so dam tired at the end of each day at celebration. But I did make the Last Jedi and Rebels panels. The First episode of Rebels was awesome and a real treat.
You guys did an amazing job covering Star Wars Celebration this year!
Disney, please. Give us solo movie about young Palpatine with Tom Hiddleston.
Revan is by FAR the most popular character in legend's history, imo. Everytime there's any type of poll about a legend's character, Revan comes out ontop.
I would love to see an Old Republic Trilogy and an Obi-Wan standalone spinoff. I'd think it be cool to expand the universe into tv shows so that way they don't have to put so much focus on a fourth Trilogy.
47:23 Hahaha! That sound from Ken had me in tears.
When Tiffany is jet-lagged she really compliments the council. This was one of my favorite episodes! Don't get me wrong I love this girl, but I hate the giggles because I take STARWARS so seriously. Alas, this a flaw in my character, not hers, so I apologize if anyone takes this as insulting. This is an awesome council line-up, love' em all.
Great to see you back Tiffany!!! Now, please come back on Schmoes too!
found my self amazed that i just watched this whole thing, greatt vid, first time watcher , definitely got my sub
Jesus Christ, I can't tell Mark Reilly and Ken Napzok apart when they're in the same video. I was legitimately very confused.
But I love you both in your own way, keep on keeping on.
I love having the Smith Lord on the Council!! I miss her on Schmoes, but it's great to still see her every once in a while!
Does Ahsoka really have to die? I mean if its the whole last Jedi thing, Ahsoka isn't a jedi so that doesn't mean she has to be dead.
Well don't you think she would have shown up to meet the young Jedi and great pilot Luke "Skywalker" if she were alive after Rebels?
Deuce Horn Geralt is the white wolf. Ashoka is the dead one.
Im waiting so much to see my favorite Obi character.! Ian was great, and im very happy to see him again
I wish i knew Tiffany was coming, I live in Costa Rica but i was at home watching every bit of celebration !!!
I wasn't at the Celebration, I watched it at home on a comfy sofa, with a cup of tea and a giant spliff.
Another Jedi Council, another prayer for an Old Republic trilogy!
I was just down the row from you guys at the 40th Panel - what a place to be!
The stream for the 40th anniversary absolutely sucked. We missed some of the best parts. Also, some screens weren't shown from some of the panels on the streams. So I'd say being there would have been so much better!
I wonder if Luke and Leia will have scenes together in The Last Jedi.
LevelGap Gaming jesus christ dude tone down the fucking negative shit,everything fucking comment is you talking shit...if you don't like the new movies then don't reply and keep that bullshit to yourself
If they are to kill off Ahsoka, let her have a huge fight wit Vader, she damages Vader bad to explain why Vader was in that tank in R1..
Richie J they actually have already explained why he was in the tank in previous novels. Vader has been complaining a bunch of times about how uncomfortable his new suit/armor is, so he likes to get nakey and float around so he feels better :)
warwick davis should be given great credit for keeping the panels lively, engaging and moving alone nicely.
I agree you have to be there. This was my first one and blew me away.
I would love it, somewhere on the other side of the galaxy in a system no one has heard of, there's the neatest characters and the greatest story yet to be told in the Star Wars universe. Lets go there soon so Star Wars can blow the minds of this generation.
only issue i had with celebration london wasnt the content, it was wristbanding, they had in writing on the website that no bands would be let out until 9am an hour before doors open inside the convention. So ok thats cool so if you want to queue up night before thats fine too if your hardcore enough and live local. But for me i got there at 7am morning of day one only to find out that lucasfilm decided to open the doors to get wristbands at 10pm the night before and giving out free pizza, and soon as people heard this news, locals in london went rushing to the arena to get wristbands earlier than they thought they could, meaning people like myself who were travelling down on the day couldnt get there in time. You dont change the rules of the smallprint with tickets and wristbands as people as planned hotel and travel. That was a big no no for me, i dont know if they did that again in orlando but they sure pissed me off last year... I did get to meet Perri though and one fan gave me the rogue one poster which was kind of them as id missed out on one. I agree though the buzz of being at celebration was still awesome even though i didnt get to any panels.
Only way you can justify the scar change is that the Bacta tank mostly healed it but not fully and it resulted in the slight movement and thinned it out a lot
I think the best Idea for a Star Wars Live Action Series, would be just about Coruscant between III and IV. Imagine something like Game of Thrones, where you switch between the Characters. You have Underworld Criminals, Imperial Moffs, Senators, some regular Stormtrooper who is just serving his duty, you could have Cameos by Vader and the Emperor, and maybe even Thrawn, Yularen or Sloane. It wouldnt need too big of a budget, because you can shoot the most scenes indoor with Sets that you can reuse, and you dont need too much Space Scenes because you stick to the Planet. And there would be soooo much potential for Storys.
Imagine a Imperial Senator who slowly figures out that they are building the Death Star, and then gets murdered by a ISB Agent, or a Rebel Spy who tries to recruit some resistance fighters to attack the Palace...so many possiblites!
This gets me more excited. As much as I loved R1, Gareth Edwards heavily detailed it. They hired him for his great scope which he delivered but he even admitted that he first planned shots and wrote the movie around the shots. Rian Johnson genuinely wants to take the story in a new direction over the visuals and that is some of the best news I've hesrd
why didn't you report on any of the battlefront 2 news from after celebration? Like tanks, new art and class details.
Kristian prior to last week, "I think we're gonna get Ewan McGregor and a Kenobi announcement and the new animated show premise."
Kristian this week, "Of course we didn't get anything on the Kenobi movie or new animated series. It would take away from the 40th Anniversary and Carrie Fisher stuff."
I like how he can be right no matter what.
Rey's backstory. I was thinking about how Daisy has said she felt it was "obvious" who her parents are so I really thought about it. This is what I came up with. 1.) Leia cheated on Han or vice versa (though if it's Han it'd have to be a force sensitive woman). The child tore them apart and caused their split and Ben was bitter and angry over his family being torn apart. That's why he refers to Rey as if he knows of her but never met her. She was training with Luke as well until Kylo snapped and destroyed the order and she was hidden for her safety. 2.) She's from the unknown regions. She was dropped on Jakku at the edge of the galaxy and mind wiped. Possibly evil origins like Abeloth or she was mind wiped like anakin was when The Brother showed him the future. Snoke wants her as a host (he's also from Unknown regions). Possible tie-in to Thrawn's personal mission. Whatcha think Collider crew?
Been rewatching SW Clone Wars and this time, I'm really appreciating the QUALITY of animation, cgi vfx if you can call it that (still). It's amazing and beautiful - production budget must have been huge!
The stream was amazing this year!
I'm a simple man. I see Revan on thumbnail, I upvote.
With Rebels I'm so glad I stuck with it through season 1. I thought a few times they would go to "Disney". Clone Wars was Gun Smoke and Rebels was Bonanza. I loved how CW would tell stories from anywhere and anyone in the galaxy.
In the future id love a live action anakin and obiwan clone wars standalone movie. This may add to the lack of friendship between the 2 seen in the prequels and the potential to see rex and ahsoka even? Also putting emphasis on the jedi we got to know which will add more weight to the order 66 sequence. Dave filoni could have his chance in the directors seat (though i know hes busy with animation but come on! Its about time) plus, hayden and ewan still look relatively young. I get that we should explore new territory but clone wars era is just great! And seeing a more in depth look at the clone wars in live action is just the film i need. Dont feel like we got enough in episodes 2-3 as there were other story elements in the way to really show the clone wars in a real gritty live action setting.
Wow! You didn't even took a week off. Kudos guys, kudos to you!
glad to see the Smith Lord
Ahsoka's theme and the Imperial March were played during the concept art reveal of the Mando helmets for S4: hopefully this signals Vader wiping out some Mandos and a final duel with Ahsoka.
I had the chance to go to celebration and got into 40th and last jedi panels live. It was the an amazing 4 days would do it again in a heartbeat. Also both your panels were really fun! Especially the Schmoedown.
I'm mad at the fact that last years Star Wars Celebration in London was basically a car boot sale (flea market to you Americans) with the odd special guest compared to this years Celebration.
Goes to show when it comes to any kind of cons (comic, video game etc), we here in inland get crapped on!!!
I don't want Rey to lose a hand.
I do, and her other hand, and both her feet. Really throw the auidence for a loop.
I actually want her to lose a limb somebody needs to lose a limb in star wars
she can lose a foot
Good. Because it won't happen.
Oh she's losing it
I do want to give Filoni some props. I don't like everything he's done, but he made Anakin a likeable, understandable, relatable character, and all the more tragic for it. And he created Ahsoka, giving her a full, rich, "realistic" journey from an annoying kid that was one of my least liked characters in Star Wars, to a teenaged character that I really enjoyed and saw a lot of growth and potential in, to an adult character that I love. I do hope we see more of her in some form.
Ayyyy Where's The Nerd Coffin sponsor?
Silky Johnson Don't forget if you order now with code "COLLIDERSCOFFIN" you get the limited time offer carrie fisher
edition. There going fast so fact now.
I know I am not the only one that says Whats the deal with canon when Kristian says it. Right?
Andy Evans I know I do lol
Happy 420 Jedi Council. Getting high AF and watching JC, Sláinte. Plus how you guys tease Smith Lord about Rebels is hilarious, she's gorgeous btw
Hey Harloff, Denis Lawson was in Celebration, on the sound stage with the Star wars Show
One thing to consider about Hamill's feelings about Luke: Johnson may have given him a character arch that ends in XI. His arch may end more in line with the ROTJ Luke we knew. I'm not sure Hamill has read anything for XI yet.
A Darth Vader movie set between Episode III and IV could have a great character cast including Ashoka. That would be great!
what up Jedi mfn council!
Love this Council. Cant wait for Captain Phasma
Regarding Mark Hamill's comments, anyone who grew up with the OT certainly spent countless hours thinking about where these characters would go next. Hamill has probably been thinking about and crafting his story in his head for 30 years, only to have it all be pointless because of the new direction Rian, JJ, and crew have taken things. I don't think it's a bad omen for the Last Jedi, so much as a sign of a unique storyteller and fan getting to show what he can do. If they rehashed ESB, we would complain about it being unoriginal . If they had just adapted the Thrawn trilogy, it would have been cool see come to life, but we would complain that it was unoriginal. If they introduced the Yuuzhan Vong, there would be rioting in the streets.... so I am glad they're spinning a new story. Keeps us all on our toes.
going to star wars celebration or streaming from home is the same reason people go to sporting events. sure you can watch from home but it is fun to be there in the moment.
I was at Celebration last year and in terms of Movies stuff, there seemed more last year. We the directors of Han Solo and Youn Han Solo himself on stage. We had a Rogue one trailer plus the same as this year Rebels ,Mark Hamil etc.
Nathan's Hotdogs are the diggity-dank
Last week was my first Star Wars Celebration, and it will also probably be my last. The wrist band panels were managed so poorly. If you have one major panel each day, have a enough spaces set aside for EVERY badge for that day. Loved the Collider Panel and Meet Up.
Did celebration do anything for Kenny Baker?
along with Hera and Chopper Rex also survives rebels witch makes three possible 4 characters that survives
"Just wear black.... and do everything faster and more intense"
Dennis Lawson was there. I saw him giving an interview on one of the stages while I was watching all the streams.
my favourite charecter in the force awakens is Poe, thank god they didn't kill him
Man, I really wanted to see you guys, I was there all 4 days but everything we had planned just didn't line up :'(
4:04 Denis Lawson was there though, he did an interview, he just wasn't on any panels.
Rogan Miller I don't have Twitter, you should tweet Kristian the link to his interview. I saw it too.
Rogan Miller yeah I think they just meant 40th panel
I'm guessing he meant the 40th panel too, but you never know he might not have realised he was there. I have to give props to Denis Lawson for showing up, he's been quite outspokenly negative about Star Wars in the past and I think only now is he starting to be proud he was involved with it.
Rogan Miller he knew. he brought him up on movie talk when they were talking about why Ewan wasn't there
How about a film with brand new characters?
you mean like The Force Awakens and Rouge One?
...like Rogue One?
PeedgeMcDuck lol yes.
Seriously? Both movies we've gotten so far have had so many brand news characters. TFA introduced our 3 new main characters, and all the main characters in Rogue One were brand new. The Last Jedi will have brand new characters with Benicia Del Toro and Laura Dern.
The Bounty Hunter movie won't even be solely about Boba Fett there will be plenty of other bounty hunters in it. The Han Solo movie is the only thing that's main characters won't be new. Don't complain.
Old Republic trilogy!!!
Mark Hamill's full quote about his character: "I fundamentally disagree with virtually everything you've decided about my character, but might be a good sign because I was really wrong about my character in episode VII."
I had a huge crush on Mark Hamill when Star Wars & Empire came out (even though I knew that Harrison Ford was more popular)! But nowadays, I just can't listen to Mark drone on during interviews - it's just a bit too much for me. I enjoy his Tweets which are always hilarious. But yea, in terms of grumpy Mark, is it just me or is he very swell headed now and taking himself really, REALLY seriously? During the fight in the snow scene, I totally gasped and my heart leapt when the lightsaber flew to Rey!!!!! YES!!!!! I'm totally fine that it did not fly to Luke and that he didn't appear in the snow battle scene. I'm pumped to see him return in Last Jedi and he will always be hugely significant but still...they are reviving the brand for new generation. It's impossible for young kids to see Luke now and feel the same way we did when we were young - no nostalgia. It's like me watching George Reeves be Superman sort of. My son truly loves Star Wars and I introduced him to all the originals & prequels but he can't take the old VFX seriously...he doesn't take the old acting/action scenes too seriously - he says everybody jumps backwards when they get shot and you can clearly see them jumping up n' back...
Personally, I'm loving the Star Wars revival because the quality of those battle scenes are everything I ever wanted...wish they were longer scenes too! You feel like you're the pilot - it's enough to make me go buy PS4 and Battlefront haha
I agree with the fact that the lightsaber should have gone to Luke, that would have been his perfect entrance.
Dennis Lawson was there. He was in celebration being interviewed on the Star Wars show but he wasn't on the 40 year panel
Yeah everyone knew that, we were saying we predicted him to be at Last Jedi panel and he wasn't/
Can we slow down on all the new aliens and planets and have some returning ones in the background AND forfront in Han Solo and Episode 8? It feels like they are adding so many new ones that it feels very very disconnected to the Star Wars universe, as if it takes place in a different Galaxy. A nice balance of old and new aliens and planets is all I'm asking for.
