Hey don't give up the day job, comedy isn't really your thing...

It's OK To Be Gay. Damn right! Von should have that on the back of the buggy.

[Seshmeister]

Hahaha...

[twonabomber]

What, no farts?

[Seshmeister]

It's funnier just recreating what that scene would have sounded like in 'real life'.

Although I guess it's fair to assume that wookies fart quite a lot...

Millennium Falcon Sighting Shocks Photographer

Matthew Myatt had to get his son to pinch him when he realised he had captured an image from the new Star Wars set in Berkshire.



A man has told Sky News he "fell off his seat" when he realised he had captured photos of the new Star Wars set while taking publicity shots of aeroplanes.

Matthew Myatt was taking stock photos for the flying school Airborne Aviation over Greenham Common near Newbury, Berkshire, on Tuesday.

But when he got home to load the images onto his computer he was amazed to see he had captured shots of a totally different type of aircraft - the Millennium Falcon.

Mr Myatt told Sky News he had noticed something "unusual" on the ground while working but had to get his "son to pinch him" and confirm what he thought it was.

His photo shows the partially constructed aircraft alongside an X-wing fighter, crane and other parts of a set. Mr Myatt said he could also see that trees and bushes had been planted on the common.

JJ Abrams has kept details of his film close to his chest

The former airfield was famous in the 1980s for the women's peace camp that sprang up around it in protest at the stationing of nuclear weapons on the site.

Director JJ Abrams has been filming Star Wars: Episode VII at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, Ireland and Abu Dhabi.

Mr Myatt said: "I grew up with Star Wars but this is something I never thought I'd see in real life. It was a real shocker."

He added that he is planning to go back to have a closer look.

The new film will see Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill return as Han Solo, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker.

Ford had to have surgery on his left leg in June after breaking it on set.

The plot of Episode VII has been kept a secret but it takes place 30 years after the end of Return Of The Jedi.

The film is due for release in the UK in December 2015.

The announcement was made on the movie's final day of production at Pinewood Studios, just outside London.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens has been directed by J J Abrams, who successfully reinvigorated the Star Trek movie franchise in 2009, and is due to be released on 18 December 2015.

Ghey.


Same cheesy CGI, same cliches, same old "dark side" vs. "light side" plot.


Yeah, deffo ghey.

[DLR Bridge]

I'm not expecting a huge shift in plot, in fact, what drew me to Star Wars as a kid was the visual aspect. Lots of eye candy. The prequels, however, failed to deliver, for the most part. I'm doing my best to forget they exist. This trailer looks pretty good in my book.

[vandeleur]

same old "dark side" vs. "light side" plot.
.

I know goodies baddies cliche cliche

[TFM_Dale]

I don't have high hopes but I will go watch it. I grew up watching Star Wars, I'm just hoping it doesn't get butchered too bad.

[twonabomber]

Ghey.


Same cheesy CGI, same cliches, same old "dark side" vs. "light side" plot.


Yeah, deffo ghey.

Same old broken record response, too. Expected this, I have.

I remain cautiously optimistic. I am no raging JJ Abrams fan. The shot showing the Falcon reminded me a bit of Abrams' Star Trek.

[TFM_Dale]

I really liked the Star Trek reboot Abrams did. I am more worried about Disney fucking something up than I am about Abrams.

[twonabomber]

I'm the other way around. Abrams using "Spock prime" twice made me think he's short on ideas. Then Disney announced him as director and "I have a bad feeling about this" until proven otherwise.

I don't know how much say Lucas will have over the finished product.

[TFM_Dale]

It might have helped that I have never been a Trek fan. Star Wars was far and away my favorite, I can even watch Episodes 1-3 without getting too sick (but 4-6 will always be THE trilogy).

[twonabomber]

I was glad to see that the Empire has embraced diversity.

[Hardrock69]

I think when it comes out I am going to have to see it in 3D at the local IMAX. Just because I can.

I saw the original when it was still in theaters in fall of 1977. Like everyone else, it really blew my mind.

I am sure Abrams is going to do a great job with it. I still get the feeling of "I can't believe this is happening" when watching the first Star Trek reboot. The screenplay, editing, and well, everything were firing on all cylinders with that.

Let's see....there are 2 or 3 more Avatar sequels courtesy of James Cameron. James Bomb is going to be late next year or 2016, and rumor says Christoph Walz is going to be playing the role of the evil nemesis.....Ernst....Stavrell.....Blofeld.....

Donald Pleasance was the most kickass Blofeld. I wanna get a holodeck table like they had in Star Wars, and have Barbara Dare on it.

Fuck this film.

[vandeleur]

In truth am not sure any one is really waiting for this.
They cant be as good as the original 1977 ones because we are not 10 any more, and then we all ranted that the follow up ones were for kids. No shit.

When I watched guardians of the galaxy I thought well thats star wars fucked.
I will take the kids , buy them the mcdonalds meal and the toys but lets not kid ourselves that it will be any more than that weeks movie and that in itself is just a filler until the call or duty or some other game comes out.

I don't know about you... but that 10 year old is alive and well inside of me. Although he was 19 when Star Wars came out and still thought it was cool.

This will be another J.J. Abrams turd filled to the brim of his usual cliches and idioms such as:

1. CGI overkill
2. Scripts written to make characters look "cute" and "funny" when they are not.
3. Unnecessary bombastic scenes
4. Scripts written with unnecessary sci-fi jargon
5. Unnecessary cliffhanger endings.

[twonabomber]

Fortunately Abrams is only doing Ep VII. Not sure who's at the helm of VIII, but the first spinoff movie (to be released in Dec of '16) has already lost it's writer.

[DONNIEP]

Rumor has it that there's gonna be a Han Solo spinoff movie. I hope like hell there is. But they better not fuck it up like the last Indy movie.

[twonabomber]

Yeah, but a young Han Solo. They really want to do a Boba Fett spinoff but can't come up with a way to make him the hero instead of the villain.

[vandeleur]

So a whole movie with a weird ass new Zealand accent.

[DONNIEP]

Yeah, but a young Han Solo. They really want to do a Boba Fett spinoff but can't come up with a way to make him the hero instead of the villain.

Ah, I never was a Boba Fett fan. Who knows, maybe they could come up with a way to have Fett and Han cross paths while Han was young, feed it into both spinoffs.

I'd be cool with a young Han Solo movie. Don't know who they'd get to pay him though...
