News Round Up 2018

But they'd never give her up.

Maybe...or maybe they didn't intend to. At any rate, I don't believe she's just a nobody. I think she's tied to someone, just not a Skywalker.

Sky blue pink......

I know this is going down a bad road but I don't think the Lasseter situation was of the magnitude of say something like Weinstein. It seemed Lasseter's biggest fault if true was weird touching and kissing. Lasseter when he left said he was going to seek help as part of his leave. I agree with you that I want the story to be false. We never had anyone reveal themselves publicly against Lasseter like many other aspects of the movement. It was all an anonymous story from the Hollywood Reporter.

Weird touching and kissing? Really? Take my word for it and anyone else who has been weirdly touched and kissed at work, especially by a supervisor. It's predatory. They know exactly what they are doing.

My point was this case wasn’t promoted as severe as say the Weinstein case was.

There's no reason he can't fix it. I'm guessing the last episode went against more than a few things Abrams was planning. It's why I don't think the 2 episodes flow very well. Hopefully Abrams will have the ability and desire to put it right in Episode IX.

Best explanation of trying to figure things out is Abrams got to the point he did at end of TFA and then gave it to Riann Johnson who had to pick it up from there with not a lot of details about an overall story arc, and then Johnson came up with his idea for the story he wanted to tel and then sort of shoe-horned the characters into it and has it in his head as to why it all makes sense, but if you need to spell things out so much as he has been trying to do, it probably didn't work out as well as you wanted.

I liked some of what Johnson did but definitely wasn't perfect and I think a few small changes (specifically with Luke and Luke/Kylo) could have made things a lot better and cleaner

It's also possible what Kylo said is right - that the people that had Rey on Jakku gave her up .... but they might not have been her birth parents

Rumor

Universal Studios proportedly in talks to acquire theme park rights for Lord of the Rings.

I, personally, would sell my own body parts to get into a LotR land/park. I've been dying for one ever since I saw what was possible with WWoHP. This is super exciting and so are the other rumors they mentioned like a Ministry of Magic area and Nintendo stuff. Nerds unite!!!

I would be ecstatic if this happened. My 10-year-old would be ecstatic. Heck, I could get my 80-year-old mom back to universal if it happened. I’m pretty meh about Star Wars at this point - raised on the original trilogy and saddened by the second. I have zero desire to see Star Wars land until maybe five years after the dust settles. A LOTR Park, even if it’s mobbed, would be on my list of must dos.

Interesting thought.

 

[rteetz]

Rumor has it John Lasseter has been in Europe during his 6 month leave. No word if he’s at a rehab facility but he hasn’t been in contact with even some of his closest friends.

Good point, is it "parents" or "birth parents".

When FA had the scene where she barely touched the Lightsaber (created by Anakan/Darth Vader and cut off with Luke's hand attached by Darth Vader, somehow recovered years later in space, and later nonchalantly tossed away by Luke when finally returned to him) she saw a vision of somebody holding her back (as she cried and screamed come back) as her presumably junk dealer parents went flying off.

By the way, I just find it odd that Luke's Lightsaber would choose her over the creators actual grandson if she's nobody.....yea ok.

But other than that there is room for almost anything.

Parents won the lottery and took a vacation.

Parents were taken off to jail on another planet.

Parents or fake parents hid her there knowing one day her true powers would emerge, and with minimal training she could beat Kylo and Luke and lift boulders and save everybody in TLD, well the 7 or so remaining anyway.

Is there a Disney moms park panel event going on right now? I see on twitter that #incredibles2event #pixarfest and #toystoryland are trending.

I could see the lightsaber choosing her if it is more of a “she’s the next chosen one” not the familial connection

So more the high levels of midichlorians set off the vision or something



Side note: if you haven’t watched the “how it should of ended” for the Last Jedi I highly recommend it

Yea chosen one could work I guess.

That was awesome thanks. I thought both arms were going to break off getting the saber.

Seems like you would just walk over and grab it if you wanted it more, but then...I'm no Jedi.

Sounds like this is just Memorial Day weekend? Too bad, looks fun.

It says starting May 25th, so I read that as a summer offering. But then it says special event so who knows? Maybe an official blog post will come out making it more clear.

Ok I think you're right. I went and looked up the Incredible Summer announcement from a few weeks ago and it's on there. So that would lead me to believe it'll be around for the whole summer as well.

Haven't you ever been on the couch and the remote was juuust out of reach?

Same thing.

Sky blue pink......

That was my grandpa's favorite color Some of the best sunrises are sky blue pink, it'd make a nice set of ears with the changes in color going up them from the headband.
