That's actually the Force theme, not Luke's specifically (Luke's theme is the main Star Wars theme), so all it really suggests is Rey's connection to the Force. Also, an earlier version of that story said that "some fan" had laid the two themes on top of each other, despite it clearly being...

There are also some cases where a film was shot digitally at 2-3K and then upscaled to 4K during the DI (I think this happened on Skyfall). Of course TFA was 35mm for the live action. Wild speculation: Maybe they finished TFA at 2K to get it out for theatrical release, but also began rendering...

The El Capitan makes a pretty big deal about it on their website. "Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision." Obviously, no one could predict how fast it would smash all those records, but Disney knew this was going to be pretty huge; it seems pretty shortsighted in 2015 to have only gone for a 2K finish...

I thought I'd read somewhere that this was a 4K DI. Kind of surprising that it's not.

For the ultimate Star Geeks...

I do not like STID, but I agree wholeheartedly that it is not simply a remake of TWOK. I've always found that to be kind of a lazy way to criticize it. Lots of other ways to :) As for TFA and ANH, the "remake" argument is more solid, but I just don't like using that word. There are countless...

Having seen this again, I can overlook most of my minor issues, but the lingering major problem I have is the whole Starkiller business. That it's derivative doesn't bother me so much as how forced and unnecessarily convoluted it is. As I said in an earlier post, I know Star Wars has never...

It's been stated by Lucasfilm and/or Disney that the previous "Expanded Universe" stories (including Zahn's trilogy) are no longer canon, but that some of the ideas and characters in them might be used in the new timeline. So, it's not a sequel to Zahn's trilogy in a continuity sense, but some...

I imagine Williams probably has a good relationship with Kathleen Kennedy, too. If he's willing and able to do Episodes VIII & IX, he will probably get to. He has of course slowed down a bit in recent years, but he has said in interviews that he has no intention of ever completely retiring.

How early was the pre-screening? Was it a test screening, perhaps?

I'm not going to do too much speculating on Rey's heritage, but I really, really hope she is not a Skywalker. Because if she is, we're going to get some convoluted, barely coherent reason for why Luke abandoned her, why she thought he was a myth, why Han doesn't recognize her, etc. But what I...

I don't think it was actually "killing" the star; just absorbing energy from it. And then it shoots its energy across multiple star systems, and.... yeah, all of that wasn't made as clear as it could have been. As I said in the review thread, Star Wars has never worried too much about the laws...

I agree; you can't compare them. The score for The Force Awakens isn't three hours of droning noise. Seriously, there is more thematic complexity and musical dexterity in "Rey's Theme" alone than in the entire Interstellar score. That is an issue I had, too.
