My takeaway from this is that the stormtroopers still can't hit the side of a barn.

Most of that occurred when they were letting Luke and gang escape from the Deathstar.

According to my 12 year old, this movie occurs between movies III and IV. If Jar Jar is fed to a bantha, I am interested! LOL

RIP R2D2

London (AFP) - Kenny Baker, the British actor who starred as plucky robot R2-D2 in the "Star Wars" movies, died on Saturday at the age of 81, his agent and relatives said.

"Kenny Baker has sadly passed away and was found on Saturday morning by his nephew Drew, who was also his carer in the latter part of his life," his agent Johnny Mans said in a statement to AFP.

He said he had been ill for some time, adding: "Kenny was truly a great friend, one of the nicest guys you could ever wish to meet and a fabulous and talented performer."

Baker's nephew, Drew Myerscough, told local media his uncle had suffered respiratory problems for almost a decade.

Baker, who measured just one metre tall (three foot, eight inches), played the resourceful droid known for his whistles and beeps in 1977's "Star Wars" and in the five following movies.

Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the first three films, paid tribute to a "lifelong loyal friend".

"I loved his optimism & determination. He WAS the droid I was looking for!" he wrote on Twitter, posting old black and white photos of them together.

20th Century Fox posted a photograph of Baker's character and his on-screen sidekick C3PO, saying: "Rest in peace, Kenny Baker, the heart and soul of R2-D2."

A wheelchair-bound Baker attended the European premiere in London of last year's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", in which he received a mention in the credits.

"Unfortunately he was too ill to be part of the new Star Wars films," his niece Abigail Shield told Sky News television. "But he was consulted by certain people."

- 'Loved throughout the world' -

She had earlier told The Guardian newspaper: "He brought lots of happiness to people and we'll be celebrating the fact that he was well loved throughout the world.

"We're all very proud of what he achieved in his lifetime."

British actor Ewan McGregor, who starred in the three Star Wars prequels, wrote on Twitter: "So sorry to hear about this. It was lovely working with Kenny."

The latest instalment of the franchise, "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story", is due out in December.

According to his official website, Kenny was born in Birmingham on August 24, 1934. He began performing at the age of 16 with a troupe called "Burton Lester's Midgets".

As well as "Star Wars", he starred in cult movies from the 1980s such as "Time Bandits" and "Flash Gordon".

2nd thought about seeing this movie after watching this trailer.

[Wyldman]

Darth Jar Jar.

Think about it, then scrub your brain with bleach.

Crush, kill, mangle, maim, destroy.

This is looking more and more like the Star Wars movie we've been waiting for for over 30 years now if it is as good as the trailers is making it out to be..

1 and 2 were embarrassingly bad steaming piles of poo.
3 redeemed the prequels only somewhat. And I mean only somewhat.
Lucas f'ed up 4 with his stupid reedits. Greedo misses from 12 inches? Really? Han shot first!
6 was the attack of burps followed by the attack of the teddy bears. Oh and the Emperor turned out to be nothing more than the Wicked Witch of the West.
These were long before Disney took over.

Yes I know trailers can be misleading but at least I have hope this one will be returning to the atmosphere original 4 (not the reedit )and 5 had that Lucas walked away from with the following movies. Honestly, the only think that keeps Star War going, in my mind at least, are memories of 4 and 5 and I want that back.
