New footage from The Last Jedi shown to Disney shareholders.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the footage, shown Wednesday morning, included Mark Hamill’s Luke asking Daisy Ridley’s Rey, “Who are you?” Ridley responded by skillfully swinging her lightsaber.

Other characters shown include Chewbacca, General Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher), and Finn (John Boyega). The shareholders also saw footage of a damaged X-Wing flying through a larger ship, along with a variety of mountain, desert, and forest landscapes.

Big news! The title of Star Wars: Battlefront 2 has been announced along with an image of the logo. That title is... Drum roll, please.

Star Wars: Battlefront II.


Personally, I love it. It's everything I ever dreamed of. I clapped, I clapped when I saw it.

How much do you think someone got paid to write this article?

Star Wars 9 script - done.

A trailer for Battlefront 2 apparently leaked already.


It could be a very good fake, I don't know why it'd have the playstation logo when it's not an exclusive and it says the last jedi heroes are a pre-order deal when Dice have been saying the sequel will have the sequel trilogy content since 2015, which is a bit suspect.

The official reveal will be at the Star Wars celebration on the 15th where they'll show off footage and tell us more details so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Apple possibly looking to buy Disney (and in doing so, aqquire Lucasfilm) in an attempt to create a rival to Netlfix

Because what Disney needs is to make their products and services even more expensive with even less quality. I hate Disney but fuck Apple. I would cry with happiness if I saw the day Apple goes bust but that won't happen with all the Chinese sweat shops and fanboys camping in the streets to buy the next pointless upgrade they shit out.

They just showed the teaser twice in the stream and it's now been uploaded on its own.


The effects look great but the film... eh.
