Are e actually getting a Sith that's not called Darth Something Something?



Glorious day!

It'll be Darth Something Something.

Literally.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Names sound cool to me

I read Kylo as Kai-lo

 

[Bobby Roberts]

absolutely sensational revelation

Based on the lighting and the environmental interaction, it looks like it's the same sequence. Unless Isaac is flying low over the same lake at the same time of day with S-foils in attack position at two separate instances about a half hour apart in the film.

Not that it couldn't be possible. It could. I dunno. But it seems easier to assume it's the same scene.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Damn, this is the first Star Wars VII news I'm not too excited about. Having both a Rey and a Ren sounds kinda confusing. And I was already getting used to Kira

John Boyega and Adam Driver really are better character names.


Also, where's that GAF user who was claiming that the Sith was called Jason/Janus? LOL.

 

[Maintenance]

I'm ready for Finn Skywalker.

 

[inm8num2]

I like those names. Exotic and unfamiliar, but not silly sounding.

Bits of setup for where everyone is and what's changed in however many years?

 

[Tobor]

As much as I hate the prequels, Finn Windu does roll off the tongue nicely.

 

[Kinyou]

Not feeling Poe and Rey

 

[Jarmel]

A logical assumption would be that Boyega is not going to spend near, if not half, the runtime in Stormtrooper armor.

 

[MMarston]

Poe Dameron sounds like a name for an independent singer.


Doesn't help that he's being played by Llewyn Davis of all people.

 

[Secret Fawful]

The Wookiepedia entry on Finn is hilarious.

Finn was a Human male who lived approximately thirty years after the Battle of Endor. He wore stormtrooper armor in the desert of a planet. He was drenched in sweat while in the desert.

And on Rey:

Rey was a female who drove a speeder bike in the desert of a planet approximately thirty years after the Battle of Endor. She was dressed in tan, ragged clothes, including a scarf around her head and a visor covered with sand.

nah sounds too much like:

[BTM]

Sound great to me. Curious what the numbers mean.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

I like those names. Exotic and unfamiliar, but not silly sounding.

But the best Star Wars names were those that didn't sound too exotic (yet weren't real world names): Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Leia Organa, Kyle Katarn, etc.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Also, where's that GAF user who was claiming that the Sith was called Jason/Janus? LOL.

OH YEAH

THAT DUDE.

 

[Timeaisis]

Poe Dameron sounds like the main character of some Star Wars fanfiction.

 

[8bit]

I hear there was a card where it looked as if BB-8 had an erect, glistening penis but it's been pulled.

Spoiler

Also, the card was replaced.

 

[Bob Coffee]

Can't wait for the adventures in a galaxy far far away of finn the stormtrooper and jake the ton ton.

 

[Jarmel]

As much as I hate the prequels, Finn Windu does roll off the tongue nicely.

Would be a good throwback to the prequels and also make sense in the terms of the universe. Windu had a brother and this is his grandchild. Midichilorians and genetics.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Poe Dameron sounds like the main character of some Star Wars fanfiction.

Poe Dameron.

You realize this is one letter away from Nicolas Cage's name in Con-Air, right?

 

[CitizenVectron]

I sure hope none of them is named Skywalker. I don't want these movies to yet again be about a Skywalker family member.

I'm betting it's Rey Solo. She is still 1/2 Skywalker, but doesn't have the name.

I also hope that Dameron is pronounced DAMM-er-RON, and not de-MARE-en.

 

[Moppeh]

Poe Dameron is a shitty name. :/ The new Solo needs a way cooler name than that.

All the other ones are great though.

 

[Cheebo]

So I'm guessing the significance of the numbers JJ mentions is that each represents the number of minutes into the film you'll see each image.

Goddammit JJ.

There is no chance the movie is anywhere close to being edited enough to know what a run time would be.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

There is no chance the movie is anywhere close to being edited enough to know what a run time would be.

This too. This is probably the most logical/obvious argument against "that's the minute/scene they first appear."

 

[Timeaisis]

Poe Dameron.

You realize this is one letter away from Nicolas Cage's name in Con-Air, right?

Well, there you have it.

 

[Beefy]

I said I was told that was character Driver plays, do we know 100% it isn't? If the guy telling me stuff is wrong then he is wrong. I just thought I would tell you guys what I was told. If it turns out Jason/Janus isn't anything to do with the movie then I am sorry the info I was told misled people.

 

[MattyG]

Finn is clearly Han and Leia's Son while Rey is Luke and Leia's daughter.

 

[Ushojax]

BB-8

Doesn't roll of the tongue, does it?

Maybe it's pronounced "Bee-Bate"?

Sure it does. Beebee-eight sounds in line with Artoo and Threepio.

 

[Jarmel]

This too. This is probably the most logical/obvious argument against "that's the minute/scene they first appear."

We don't even have an idea about the run-time do we?

 

[Count Dookkake]

I'll pretend that the new droid's name is a reference to DEADLY FRIEND.

 

[TheWarrior]

Ready for Stimpy Skywalker

 

[Timeaisis]

Finn?

LOL.

And the sith's name doesn't sound very evil. Lucas knew how to make evil sounding names that way the audience would never be confused about who's supposed to be the bad guy.

Yeah, I was expecting Darth Evilus, too.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Well, there you have it.

Proof positive Oscar Isaac is already the most badass character in the new film.

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

MY LITTLE BROTHER'S NAME IS FINN.

He's gonna be very excited lol.

 

[Deadly Joker]

Finn Calrisian, clearly.

Is Lando confirmed for Episode 7?

 

[Darth Pinche]

I hear there was a card where it looked as if BB-8 had an erect, glistening penis but it's been pulled.

Spoiler

Also, the card was replaced.

BB-8 had a lot to live up to.

 

[Cheebo]

Also this likely confirms that Adam Driver is NOT Han and Leia's son since by all indications that is him with the saber in the woods. Seeing how his last name is not Solo.

Also Rey/Daisy Ridley is not his brother I would assume, because "Rey Ren" would just sound too weird.

 

[Ithil]

Finn?

LOL.

And the sith's name doesn't sound very evil. Lucas knew how to make evil sounding names that way the audience would never be confused about who's supposed to be the bad guy.

I think between the lightsaber and black cloak I can figure out he's a bad guy, dude. He doesn't need to be called John Evil.

It's for the blind children!

How is we know this guy is a Sith? From what I gather he is a man who is obsessed with the Sith and collects their artefacts but not necessarily a Sith himself. If he is then he'll get a Darth something title eventually.

There is a whole art to naming character

[Bobby Roberts]

You guys please be careful just casually tossing around rumors/spoilers that you might have internalized from months of reading Star Wars news.

Lotta people up in here have no idea about any of that shit, and basically don't know anything but what the teaser has shown them, and that Luke, Han & Leia are gonna be in it.

 

[CitizenVectron]

Poe Dameron is a shitty name. :/ The new Solo needs a way cooler name than that.

All the other ones are great though.

I think you are forgetting how lame of a name Han is, if it weren't associated with Han Solo.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Cool. Those sound like Star Wars names.

 

[Valhelm]

The names sound like something out of the expanded universe, but they're not too bad.

I'm very glad that the black character doesn't have a ridiculous "alien name".

 

[The Atticus]

The significance of the numbers is that they mark the number of minutes into the film each shot appears.

This is what I thought too.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Cool names.

Except for Poe Dameron. He better have a nickname.

 

[Guy.brush]

Oscar Isaac as Arschdämmerung
