Star Wars VII The Force Awakens Topic Discussion - May Contain Spoilers

[captain_obvious]

No.

What's so funny?  My vid gets uploaded tomorrow when I get it from my pal who recorded it for me.  No chance of getting the part but I'd be a damn fool not to have a punt.

On another note, I do hope they don't kill off or otherwise incapacitate Ahsoka in the last episodes of TCW!  She's actually rather central to something I'm working on atm and I'd go fucking ape if they did that.  It'd force me to try and work out a whole new character, from scratch and quite likely end up rewriting the whole damn thing.

There is no sign at all that they will air those 'lost episodes'.

So I doubt we'll never know what happened to her unless they reference her in Rebels, the lead guy likes the character so you never know.

I've definitely seen in a few places that they are going to air the last episodes as a "season 6".  In fact, the director has actually tweeted that iirc.

There you go.  (Only took me 20 mins or so to get that edit done.  Damned server problems!)

That's a relief. They seemed to finally getting back to the other characters with series 6. They ended up becoming to Obi/Ani centric IMO.

Gonna miss CW, but looking forward to Rebels.

[captain_obvious]

and my audition tape just went in.  Yay. One less thing to worry about.

EDIT

Something just occurred to me. What if I (somehow) get the part AND (somehow) get offered a place at Oxford uni? Wtf am I going to do?! 

[Vortex]

Uni work on set. :p

What's funny is that I wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell.  I don't fit the description for either part.

lol, the only part of it that I'm not right for is my physique.  I'm a wee bit on the soft side, but that's fixable (I've actually started hitting the gym in a big way with a friend of mine who works as a personal trainer in order to get things in order). 
Even so, I still haven't got a chance of getting it.  But I'd be a damned fool for not trying and an even bigger fool for not giving it my all!

The Galactic Republic, Disney/ABC Television Group, Lucasfilm, and Netflix Inc. today announced the highly anticipated debut of the sixth and final season of the Emmy(r) Award-winning series Star Wars: The Clone Wars exclusively to Netflix members in the US and Canada on Friday, March 7. Accompanying the 13-episode new season dubbed "The Lost Missions" will be the entire Star Wars: The Clone Wars saga, which includes several director's cut episodes never seen on TV as well as the feature film. This multi-year agreement also makes Netflix the exclusive subscription service for the entire Star Wars: The Clone Wars series.

In these eagerly anticipated episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, some of the deepest mysteries of the conflict between the light and the dark sides of the Force are revealed. An intrepid clone trooper discovers a shocking secret, Anakin Skywalker's closest relationship is tested to its limits, and what Master Yoda discovers while investigating the disappearance of a Jedi could forever change the balance of power in the galaxy. Fans will not only be able to watch the thrilling finale, they'll be able to see more of Star Wars: The Clone Wars than ever before as Netflix will also stream the director's cut of seasons one to five.

Also 2 new videos

I've had this discussion before.  Those things for whatever reason, don't work for me.
