That's what I thought about Star Wars Eps 1-3. Too much special effects, too little script.
Long live ep 4, "A New Hope"!
BTW, I can't believe that Mark Hamill is 62 either.........I guess he will always be young Luke Skywalker in my mind. This ought to be interesting with most of the original actors back
I'm Stayin' Frosty!
I cringe at the thought of Disney being involved. And I don't really understand why Abrams is the go-to person for all things science fiction these days. If they can't find a way to bring the Irvin Kershner (Empire director) magic and mystique to these new films, they should just quit while they're ahead.
God forbid my kids ever want to watch The Phantom Menace - but on the rare occasion they actually ask to see it, I can only watch Episode1.1, The Phantom Edit - which has 75% less Jar Jar (which is still 25% too much) and has all the boring senate stuff trimmed out. I have no such edit for Episode 2, so my kids are SOL, because I won't watch that shitty movie.
This coming from the biggest Star Wars geek in the North Star State.
I can only suppose they are saving the bad-assed awesomeness of Billy-Dee Williams for Episode 8?
I wonder about Harrison ford's inclusion ... He used to be cool and groovy as Han now he is just a grumpy old twat.
They could totally spoil the Han solo character which would be a shame .
fuck your fucking framing
I'm probably least worried about Harrison Ford. He's at least worked all this time. Yeah, Hamill does his voice work, and Fisher writes and goes to rehab...
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
He came across as a grumpy old twat for years but recently he's been quite funny in a super dry way sending himself up.
I know but as cool sayings go , I've got a bad feeling about this to be replaced by fuck off ya pesky kids
This is my dad when I showed him an
iPhone
Well maybe BDW isn't a bad ass dancer, but if you've seen The Lego Movie you know the awesomeness of which I speak.
THAT'S what I'm talking about!
And refreshing too.
Star Wars 7: Plot details 'leak', with sequel's opening sequence and premise revealed
Star Wars Episode 7 has suffered an unconfirmed plot leak, with a film site claiming that the movie will open with John Boyega and Daisy Ridley's characters discovering Luke Skywalker's severed hand from The Empire Strikes Back and subsequently finding that the Jedi master has gone missing.
*Spoilers ahead (possibly)*
Here's the outline according to Badass Digest :
"Imagine the standard Star Wars crawl, and when it ends the camera pans up to the stars. But instead of a spaceship zooming into frame we see... a hand! A severed hand, tumbling through space. A severed hand gripping a light saber.
That hand falls onto a desert planet, where it is discovered by characters who will be our heroes. One is Daisy Ridley. The other is John Boyega, who is playing someone trying to change his path in life (again, I'm keeping it vague here). They recognize the light saber as a Jedi relic and decide to return it to the proper people.
Their quest takes them off world, and they meet up with Han Solo and Chewbacca, who aren't flying around in the Millenium Falcon anymore but are piloting... well, that could be a spoiler. I'll leave it. Anyway, Han and Chewie recognize the light saber as Luke's, and they say they haven't seen their friend in thirty years, since the events of Return of the Jedi.
So begins a quest to find the missing Jedi Master. Meanwhile, on an ice planet, nefarious forces are building a super weapon, one capable of destroying not planets but entire solar systems..."
The opening sounds deliciously Breaking Bad-esque, with Luke's dismembered hand tumbling through the sky and being discovered by kids, and would be a bold start to JJ Abrams' new chapters.
It echoes that of A New Hope, in which R2-D2 was the foreign body to stumble into the lives of people far away from rebel alliances and trade federations.
The leak, so far completely unconfirmed and likely to remain that way, comes from Devin Faraci, who wrote on Twitter when asked about the synopsis' veracity: "I'm not kidding about this".
It suggests that the younger members of the cast will be in the fore in the movie, with Faraci claiming that he is "hearing again and again that John Boyega owns this move".
Star Wars: Episode VII, which is believed to have been recently filming in the Forest of Dean (possibly for scenes on the Ewok planet of Endor), will go on a two week hiatus in August while Harrison Ford recovers from an ankle injury.
The sequel has a scheduled release date of 18 December, 2015.
If that's true then it sounds stupid.
How long would it take for a hand to go through space, millions of years, and then it would burn up in the atmosphere?
Well hey it's Star Wars so you cut it some slack like appreciating that the fact that there is no sound in space should be ignored because having the laser zappy sounds is so much cooler than reality.
Anyhoo maybe there is some exposition that explains it. After LOST though there is definitely a worry it could just be silly crap.
No, it would be Luke's mechanical hand.
I've read another report that just the lightsaber may be found by the same two characters.
BTW, did I show you guys my new shoes?
I've always thought a sequel, or prequal, should include the time between the six films and without Luke, Leia, Darth, Obi, etc. Like, how did the "Bothan Spies" steal the Death Star blue print? Was there a mini-rebellion within the Empire ranks? Etc.
Did Vader train a midi-chlorine laden Empire officer to be a Sith only to have him discover the "Light Side?" The best they can come up with is to revisit Luke's severed hand? FFS...
That's what the new Star Wars Rebels cartoon is going to cover.
Set five years before Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, the series follows a motley group of rebels—all of whom have been affected by the Galactic Empire in one form or the other—that band together in a small group aboard a freighter starship called the Ghost. The series will also focus on the origins of some of the groups that form the Rebel Alliance.
They lost me with Jar Jar Binks. What's Disney going to do? Put the next Miley Cyrus or Lindsay Lohan in it? It should be called Whore Wars.
