Star Wars The Force Awakens
Star Wars The Force Awakens
Thought I would start a SW thread for the new movie that will premiere this year on Dec. 18th
Also, May the 4th be with you

Next-generation bad guy Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) commands snowtroopers loyal to the evil First Order on the frozen plains of their secret base.
Galactic travelers, smugglers, and other assorted riffraff fill the main hall of pirate Maz Kanata’s castle.
For some reason I think this guy is so hot
Dashing Resistance pilot Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) stands alongside his trusty X-wing fighter.
A small galaxy’s worth of tracking dots affixed to Lupita Nyong’o’s face allowed artists at Industrial Light & Magic to transform her into the C.G.I. character Maz Kanata.
Actress Daisy Ridley for a scene in which her character, the young heroine Rey, pilots her speeder through a bustling marketplace on the planet Jakku.
Members of the brain trust behind The Force Awakens: composer John Williams, producer and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, co-writer Lawrence Kasdan, and director and co-writer Abrams, photographed at Bad Robot, Abrams’s production company, in Santa Monica.

Re: Star Wars The Force Awakens
I will be avoiding this thread as I already have too much spoileriffic stuff in my brain and I like to keep my expectations VERY low...I just hope this isn't an embarrassment and that the characters are actually engaging. I am even more worried about the stuff they're doing next year with the one show that has no jedi...
Re: Star Wars The Force Awakens
What show with no jedi? And Pande, I hadn't noticed it until you pointed it out

Re: Star Wars The Force Awakens
Is that the movie that director Josh Trank of the upcoming (and already slammed) "Fantastic Four" movie quit or was fired from?Essence_Smith wrote:They're doing a show called Rogue One supposedly set to come out next year...perkana wrote:What show with no jedi?

Re: Star Wars The Force Awakens
Yup
http://www.vulture.com/2015/05/josh-tra ... e-one.htmlJosh Trank, whose upcoming Fantastic Four reboot opens August 7, has left the stand-alone Star Wars film he was slated to direct. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 31-year-old director “made a personal decision” to leave. Trank earned recognition for his clever work on sci-fi found-footage film Chronicle in 2012, but sources suggested that the pressure of a big-budget blockbuster got to him.

Yeah I'm REALLY trying to avoid reading about or seeing to much of this in advance...I remember when Jar Jar Binks sounded like he had potential...not doing that to myself again...

Re: Star Wars The Force Awakens
I don’t think they can fall down THAT hard again. I was really disappointed but I have trust in the old characters.Essence_Smith wrote:Yeah I'm REALLY trying to avoid reading about or seeing to much of this in advance...I remember when Jar Jar Binks sounded like he had potential...not doing that to myself again...
Re: Star Wars The Force Awakens
Just watched this Comic-Con video and it gave me goosebumps. Simon Pegg's reactions kinda made me feel that they are doing a good job.

Re: Star Wars The Force Awakens
Not eagerly awaiting since it is in Disney's hands now. No great expectations.
I probably won't go to the theatre for it, and I had for all of them since the first one when I was a little kid.

Re: Star Wars The Force Awakens
It's not like George Lucas did a stellar job on the last three. Of course, I'm 45, and grew up on the first ones. I'm looking forward to this because I'm nostalgic, and the trailers promise something that suggests a great deal of pathos and not nearly as much of the cute stuff (although no doubt they'll have that also.Angry Canine wrote:Not eagerly awaiting since it is in Disney's hands now.

Oh, and my 11 year old son. I'll enjoy seeing it with him.

Re: Star Wars The Force Awakens
No Lucas didn't do great with the last three, and I'm about that same age, nearly 44 now, so they we saw the first three new as kids, and the other three as adults, very different points of view. The first movie was pretty overwhelming at the age we were then, especially in that time period when there was not so much media overload on us. There's nothing that any filmmaker could ever do that would give us that kind of experience now.blackcoffee wrote:It's not like George Lucas did a stellar job on the last three.

But Disney, is still rolling downhill to LCD blandness, as far as expectations scriptwise. I'm sure it will be visually spectacular.

Re: Star Wars The Force Awakens
I've liked what J.J. Abrahams has done with the Star Trek reboot, so I think it's in good hands even if Disney bought the franchise. I saw the first flicks as a kid too (was 8 when Return of the Jedi came out. Speaking of which, it's my least favorite of the first three), when I rewatched them as an adult, they didn't strike me as great as they did when I was a kid. But I still find them to be entertaining. And that’s what I expect from these new ones. If they are just a tiny bit better than episodes I, II and III, I'll be happy about it.Angry Canine wrote:No Lucas didn't do great with the last three, and I'm about that same age, nearly 44 now, so they we saw the first three new as kids, and the other three as adults, very different points of view.
