2 hour long staring contest! Now that's a real Jedi training. Patience. Focus. Introspection.

That is so old.

[Odesseiron]

Oh great, it'll be like the one episode of Breaking Bad I always skip, Fly.

[Rulke]

That is so old.

True. But I thought it relevant to the new announcement.

[Melena]

Oh great, it'll be like the one episode of Breaking Bad I always skip, Fly.

Fly was amazing in showing how OCD Walt was getting with his drug making process.

Oh, no disagreement there whatsoever. I agree it was an amazing episode. I only ever needed to watch it once though.

Lucasfilm issues a statement saying that they WILL NOT be using a digital Carrie Fisher going forward for future films.

We don’t normally respond to fan or press speculation, but there is a rumor circulating that we would like to address. We want to assure our fans that Lucasfilm has no plans to digitally recreate Carrie Fisher’s performance as Princess or General Leia Organa.

Carrie Fisher was, is, and always will be a part of the Lucasfilm family. She was our princess, our general, and more importantly, our friend. We are still hurting from her loss. We cherish her memory and legacy as Princess Leia, and will always strive to honor everything she gave to Star Wars.

I just know that someone somewhere is going to not realize that she already filmed for VIII and get all butthurt that they 'broke their promise'

[Deftscythe]

That press release kinda shits on the guy who played Tarkin, huh?

[Salodin]

Kinda hard to talk about the death star leading up to EP4 and not have Tarkin though; I'm assuming they have a worthwhile solution to this untimely death.

[Tyrath]

Just using this thread instead of necroing other one.

Yeah but if digitally recreating an actor is disrespectful, as that statement implies, then if they gave a shit about Tarkin's actor, they'd find a way to do without.

Posting a TFA clip in the TFA thread would have been completely appropriate

Love that scene but it might have been just a bit much for the kid audience/PG rating.

..

It's PG13. The movies have had Anakin roasting in lava with all of his limbs cut off. Not to mention the numerous other behandings.

[Qalbert]

I think with CF it would be disrespectful due to the proximity to her passing, and that reports suggest she was intended to have a bigger role in IX

[kuronosan]

Pretty sure with Tarkin it was not only essential to the story but done in good taste. They can always write Leia out.

[Hirronimus]

Considering how much was cut from TFA and R1, and the amount of reshoots, they can redirect the plot entirely. Besides, how much of the filming have the done?
