What Amy Adams had to say about Star Fighter on the Smartless Podcast

I had a very small part… I loved [getting to see all of the props, and] I went to the creature shop twice yeah, it's so cool! I mean, I'll talk about this, I'm sure, down the road, but like I don't know what I'm allowed to talk about, but I was so nervous the first day of working, like I forgot how to act. I'm sure Shawn Levy's like, 'Amy, are you okay?' And I'm like 'No. I'm just not alright!' …I'm on a Star Wars set, and I like, I grew up on this. I have to now get out of my dorky fangirl place and go into my professional actress [mode], and combining the two was really hard… It's so cool, you guys it's just so cool, [and while I can't say much, I can say Flynn Gray] is so great."

Releases in the US on October 6:

Synopsis: Wedge Antilles hero, warrior, star pilot. The only rebel to face two Death Stars and live to tell the tale.

Wedge confronted death countless times, in battles large and small, where split-second decisions often meant the difference between survival and a fiery demise.
Now, he tells his story, and those of the brave pilots he served with and elite enemies he fought against. Aided by unsealed archives from the New Republic, and unreleased interviews of Imperial and Alliance veterans, Antilles gives the definitive account of what it was to fight the Galactic Civil War from the cockpit of a starfighter.
The ships, tactics, and weapons, but also the quiet times and camaraderie, the moments of fear and despair, the thrill of victory and the aching loss of friends. This is the untold story of the galaxy's star pilots.



I wonder how much of the EU Rogue Squadron material appears in this. Could be cool depending how it is done.

That was my favorite EU series growing up. Introduced me to my favorite character Corran Horan.

This is how we love to hear actors and actresses talk about projects and IPs we're passionate about. Very cool!

Charley,
just wanted to thank you for the recommendation of the Master of Evil book. I'm reading it now. I love the intimate look into the Dark side, and in particular Vader and Palpatine, that the movies don't give us. And I like how the book tied it into the movies, with the Goth character being one of Palpatine's Imperial guards who would have overheard and seen the interactions between Palps and Anakin prior to Order 66. Lol, I'm one of those types of people who'll watch a scene like that and notice the background characters and think, "What about those two guards who are totally hearing these secret discussions and plotting? What's going through their minds?"

Yeah cool, but do they have any BTS photos of Harrison Ford casually reading a copy of The Odyssey in between shots?

Quote from Starfighter writer:Jonathan Tropper

"The goal from the beginning, when Shawn and I first started talking about it, was to create the feeling in theaters that we had as kids seeing Star Wars back in 1977. That sense of a swashbuckling adventure into new worlds. For us, that was really important. There are no barriers to entry. You don't have to have seen other Star Wars movies to step into this one.
[We're making a movie about] wish fulfillment and adventure. I think Shawn has done an incredible job. I think Gosling's incredible. It's going to be a really long wait until this comes out, because I'm dying for people to see it."

Pretty good fan fiction although I don't understand why everyone feels the need to include the Wilhelm Scream in everything. That takes it down a notch just by itself.

Hey. Week as hell knews...but it's news...kinda....

Mara Jade is coming back to a game you've probably only heard of once...Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is adding her in an update that unfortunately is titled their "Myths & Legends Era." Along side her will be:

- The Ronin (Visions)
- Stormtrooper (early concepts)
- Luke (early concepts)
- Darth Jar Jar

In addition to that from the most recent comic-con it was announced:

Star Wars: Detours -> Some sort of Seth Green comedy series that focused on Star Wars is either getting re-released or started again...or something is happening...what? Who cares...

Museum Debut -> Certain Star Wars episodes will be getting played at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.

Hasbro Toys -> New toys from Hasbro with key characters like Roda the Hut and something from Maul: Shadow Lord...

So....hey at least they're being honest this time that they don't have crap going on for the future....or we could hear about the Rey movie and Rian Johnson series and Tiaka Watiti series again....

Can someone call Tony Gilroy? Please????

No - it's a different thing altogether, but probably similar humor. It had trailers and everything and seemed ready to drop. I seem to remember it's about the time Disney acquired Star Wars and it wasn't "on brand" for them or something along those lines.

Screenshot of the new characters for the game. It's not groundbreaking, but I've played it for years and it keeps me entertained.

They release a character every couple of weeks. Right now only Mara Jade is out. All I can see about the rabbit guy is his name is Jaxxon. Somebody with a better grasp of obscure lore may know more about him.

And is that a Sith Yoda in the background? He's scary.

I can't remember anything specific about the rabbit, but I have a number of comic books that my parents gave to me to read around the time the first movie came out and he is on the cover of one of them. I haven't opened the comics in probably 40 years but I vaguely remember he was a buddy of Han Solo. His character is almost as old as the franchise itself.

The rabbit was in the early comics. He's popped up a few more times as an Easter Egg. There was an early PC game, one of the ones with Kyle Katarn I think, where if you went into a building at the precise time in the game, he'd be in there.



Dark-side Yoda is from a Clone Wars cartoon from a season that was scrapped and then released years later. It's one of the episodes where they veer into unknown space around what the Force is and it's pretty interesting. He travels to a planet on the request of Qui-Gon's spirt and faces temptation and visions of what he could have possibly been. They give him a sort of "Blue Pill Matrix" option of a scene of tranquility at the Jedi Temple that is Easter Egg heaven with a Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Dooku, and Anakin all in conversation, and lots of other Jedi who died, like Quinlan Vos, all in the same place.

Huh. I was thinking Star Wars comics were all Dark Horse?? What foreshadowing that Disney would ultimately own both Marvel and Star Wars but Marvel had the relationship first.

I recall that Clone Wars but not Dark Side Yoda. So, like the Dagobah scene with Luke then in Empire. I think I'm starting to recall that.....

That comic is probably from the late 70s. Dark Horse didn't exist yet.

I read most of the Marvel Star Wars comics that were published after the original movie, probably 1978. I don't remember Dark Horse until about a decade later starting with some Aliens/Predator titles.

Going back to this… It made me wonder if I still had that comic and sure enough I do. 50ish years later I still have it.
