Overnight Open Thread (25 Apr 2015)

So Lena Dunham is still claiming to be a rape victim. I seem to recall the rape from her book 'collapsed under scrutiny'. I would think Variety could find a real rape survivor to honor no?

Star Wars: Rogue One

So this news came out last weekend too. New details on Star Wars: Rogue One spinoff movie.

Finally confirming the rumors, director Gareth Edwards announced that this will indeed be about the mission to steal the Death Star plans - and it's set in a universe where there are believed to be no Jedi left. "God's not coming to save you."

Realism is important - he wants this to feel like a real war movie set in the Star Wars universe.To that end, he has the cinematographer of Zero Dark Thirty and special effects guys from Black Hawk Down and Saving Private Ryan. He said that while Star Wars is quite black-and-white in terms of good and evil, Rogue One will show the gray area that becomes polarized. Good guys are bad, bad guys are good - it's like the reality of war.
