Darth_Awakened wrote:What s the general difference between body double and a stunt?

A body substitute replaces the credited actor of a character in any recorded visual medium in shots where the character's body is shown but the face is either not visible or shown indistinctly, or in shots where the image of the credited actor's face is joined to the image of the body double's body. Body doubles are most often used for shots involving a nude scene, although this is becoming less common as many actors are now sometimes contracted to do nudity. More specific terms are often used in special cases; a stunt double is used for dangerous or sophisticated sequences. This is in contrast to a stand-in who replaces an actor for non-filming purposes such as scene arrangement and lighting adjustments.

And here's Daniel Westwood for comparison:



I'm not sure if that's the same man... but I'm not great at recognising faces  

Mind you, Westwood is listed as BDT's "body double", and BDT would have a stunt double on top of that. So even if that's not Westwood, it might still be BDT's character in the exploding car. The hair is very similar to BDT's.

The only thing that gives me pause is that BDT seemed to have a beard during the filming of VIII. So assuming that he's playing a human, he'd probably have some kind of facial hair. But depending on the angle, this stuntman would probably still pass for him.

Darth Dingbat wrote:Sorry for triple-posting... but this stunt guy was also in Dubrovnik, and I thought he might possibly be BDT's stunt double because he seemed to be around the same height, too.



I still think it possible that the actors were secretly in Dubrovnik, btw.

EDIT: @Darth Dingbat I have to agree to disagree: I do not think that any of the actors were in Dubrovnik. I am like 99% sure.
Dubrovnik is a small town, people talks a lot, an army of paparazzi were there -there is no chance that some of the biggest names were there but not spotted.

Our new episode is up, and this time the central topic is something close to my and @bastila-bae​‘s hearts - love and romance in Star Wars! This topic also provided a great opportunity to broach the subject of Reylo (which we do, around the 1 hour 30 minute mark) and briefly explore how we feel it would fit into the well-established tradition of love and romance in Star Wars.
In news, we also discuss Donald Glover’s casting as Lando in the Han Solo movie, some Episode VIII spoiler bits and much more! You can find a full breakdown below the cut.
n.b.  Please note that we suffered some technical difficulties with this episode, so the noise (the buzzing sound in the background) is particularly prominent for stretches of the recording. Rest assured that we are investing in new equipment, so – fingers crossed! – our quality should be improving substantially from the next episode onwards.

BastilaBey wrote:@vaderito thank you for sharing  we discuss some of the fairytale and mythological elements of Rey and Kylo's dynamic, which seems very timely with JJ's commentary today! And how it would fit SW's tradition of unlikely romances - the princess and the scoundrel, the queen and the freed slave, the prince and the scavenger etc.
