Does anybody know where they are in production for Episode VIII? Has it been written yet?
quote:Script is 100% complete (save for last-minute tweaks), and they're deep in pre-production. Both Abrams and Ridley have admitted publicly that they've read it. Filming apparently starts in February.

I can buy this, but again, a plot point should never require this much outside explanation...

concerning the explanation though....it also would require NO explanation if R2D2 awoke as soon as BB8 "spoke" to him.....
like:
"oh R2, he has been in a low power coma since master luke disappeared".....
BB8: "bbee be boop be bop..."
R2D2 " be boop be boop?".....
BB8 projects the partial map
R2D2 gets all excited and wakes up fully and projects the full map overlayed with the missing piece.
human characters are stunned like WTF
and i think we (the audience) would all get that (it would be another convenient SW moment of course, but it was anyway they just dragged it out). the idea that it took R2 (a computer) a long time to boot up is just dumb.
they made it alltogether too complicated.
quote:it's IMDB status which is generally very accurate says "Filming"....it could be very early though.

quote:why?
If Rey isn't Luke's daughter, someone has to be his kid.
quote:yes...well she could have come in with BB8 the first time...they drug it out. it didn't tick me off...but it requires more explanation the way they did it....which was odd because they revealed all kinds of other stuff just at the drop of a hat (ohh this kylo, han and leia's son...oh ok....oh the millenium falcon was stolen by this guy, then that guy, then this guy....oh uh here's a light saber of luke's in a chest no explanation at all).quote:Ok, but what happened in the movie actually felt perfect.

quote:Oh I agree. Which means that BB8 found R2 way, WAY too early in the film. Reflecting on it now, the introduction of R2 would probably have worked better if BB8 had found R2 at the end of the film rather than about half way through. Rey could have asked Leia after the conversation with Maz and the events on Starkiller Base, realizing that her destiny does indeed lay in front of her with Luke being the first step in her journey, about Luke.

quote:i just meant very accurate in terms of where it is in production phase. usually.
They filmed some Episode VIII scenes with Luke and Rey already (last September/October) on the island from the final TFA scene because it was the only chance they'd get when the weather was sure to cooperate. But principal photography doesn't begin until February of next year.
Also, just JYI, "very accurate" is the last thing I'd call IMDB. It's like Wikipedia - literally anyone can edit/add info - so never trust it. No one in the industry really does.
quote:I am going with the following to bridge the gap between Jedi & TFA
so what are the companion books/comics etc for this that anyone recommends? I need a fix
