Lol I think it's a good time to mention that filming for Episode IX starts at the end of this month.smile

That is if anyone hasn't mentioned it already. If so, I apologize for the repetition.

Hey, I have a random question. I'm thinking about adding an edit to Finn's character page and I was wondering: does Finn count as an Anti-Hero or is he more of the Ideal Hero? Personally, I'm leaning towards the former.

Also, if this isn't the place to discuss this, where I can get an immediate opinion? Because the discussion portion for the "Resistance Heroes" character page is really dead.

Finn probably fits Classical Anti-Hero best.

Official Cast list announced

Two things jumped out at me.

This gives us official confirmation that Billy Dee Williams will be reprising his role as Lando.

In addition Leia will be played by Carrie Fisher once again by utilizing unused footage from Episode 7.

[up] Quite Crazy-Prepared in knowing when to use unused footage, eh?

Also, nice casting choices, especially with the black Naomi Ackie, really hoping she will be one of the leads.

Also, Richard E.Grant? Seems like he will play someone from the First Order...or at least some sort of politician or warlord.

[up] Given how the force works...he was already guaranteed to appear anyway.

Clearly Hamill is reprising his character of “that guy on Canto Bight who thought BB was a slot machine.”

The rumors I linked a while back did say Leia would be used.

But those same rumors also said we were going to see a Rey/Kylo love child, so I call coincidence.

Didn't they say before they wouldn't use Leia out of respect?

[up] They said they won't use her with CGI like in Rogue One, but maybe that was before they found out about the unused footage, probably.

Wouldn't they know about any unused footage from making the movie? :\

They'd definitely know about the unused footage. They probably didn't know they could use it until recently since they didn't have a script.

I can't imagine there was 2 hours' worth of unused footage, so maybe it'll be a posthumous appearance in-story, like a hologram or flashback or something.

Something to keep in mind is that while they won't CGI Leia herself, they can still completely change the context of any scenes she's in (ie change her location, change who she's talking to, rearrange her dialogue to completely change the meaning of what she's saying, etc.)

Given the route they are going, I don't expect her to have a lot of screentime however since there's only so much they can do with this method.

The most we know about her scenes cut from TFA were that they involved sending an agent to Hosnian Prime before it got Starkillered.

I do find it funny that Todd Fisher pretty much confirmed that he and Billie Lourd gave their blessing to Lucasfilm that Carrie Fisher can return via archival footage but Lucasfilm then quickly denied it.

The Carrie Fisher thing feels like a scenario where no matter what they do their is no perfect solution. Each possible solution I've gone over in my head has issues. She could die offscreen but that doesn't feel right for someone who was a central character in the original trilogy. They could CGI her but that would just be uncomfortable. They could recast her but for many including myself Carrie Fisher is Leia

You're going to pay a price for every bloody thing you do and everything you don't do. You don't get to choose to not pay a price.

What about a relative of Carrie Fisher portraying Leia?

Well that's difficult because Billie Lourd is already in the movie.

If they want to do a Leia movie, though, she's a good pick.

But not for the sequels.
