I’ve been off sick the last two days so found a window to watch the SDCC SW7 panel in it’s entirety. A couple of things stuck with me.I’m loving the idea that there’s a lot more practical sets and Aliens. It’s always best for things to be shot for real and then added to with CG when that cannot be filmed. But whichever process is being favoured, it does not mean the film is a good film. Those things are down to the script and the film maker, obvs.

On the Skywalkers…

  • Youngest: Daddy, how many people did Darth Vader kill?
  • Parent: Well, he killed lots of people. He murdered all the Jedis.
  • Youngest: And how many people did Luke kill?
  • Parent: Not very many I think. Mostly monsters and some stormtroopers as far as I remember.
  • Eldest: Hang on, didn’t Luke destroy the Death Star?
  • Parent: Yes, yes he did.
  • Eldest: So he actually killed LOADS of people, lots more than Darth Vader did.
  • Parent: You’ve got a point there.
