Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
The Rebels season finale is tonight, and Lucasfilm has gifted us with a new clip… And the second part of their most recent Dave Filoni interview.
Meanwhile, Rebels is today’s theme at our Tumblr, so there’ll be new stuff at that link throughout the day.
Good Morning America debuted a new look at the Rebels finale, ‘Fire Across the Galaxy,’ this morning.
When I heard that J.J. Abrams was at the VES awards last night, I wasn’t expecting much more than the standard boilerplate quotes. But he spoke to Collider on the red carpet, discussing the broadsaber (and the “many contradictory emails” he’s received about it,) IMAX, CGI, and more. Watch the video, or head over to Collider for the most pertinent quotes.
The basics, though: They’re still putting together the first cut of the film, he’ll be executive producing VIII and IX, there will still be “an enormous amount of CG effects,” (duh) and the broadsaber “was not done without a lot of conversation and it’s fun to see people have the conversation that we had, but in reverse.” None of these are huge revelations (we’ve known that only one scene is in IMAX for months,) but considering how little we’ve had out of Abrams overall, this is a bonanza.
Tonight’s ‘Vision of Hope’ added a new wrinkle – and a lot of anvils – to Rebels. In the Recon, Joel Aron talks lighting, the crew talks about Gall Trayvis and Pablo answers a question about Lando.
I think we know who the new Boba Fett really is now…
