Why is there so much excitement for franchise that (1) hasn't been good for decades and (2) was always a bit overrated and has been passed, numerous times, by other, better franchises/stories? What make believe and delusional world do you live in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'm excited for even a chance that we can erase from recent memory those three piles of steaming crap that Lucas put out for Episodes 1-3. I feel pretty confident we'll get that, but it wouldn't be hard to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I saw Abrams do something that was "too much of a nostalgia piece" it was Into Darkness and that was a fairly weak movie.

Honestly I consider Into Darkness to be a much better film than any of the Episode 1-3 Star Wars movies. But again, that's not a high bar to set. The level of irritating actors, laughable CGI, empty characters and TV-series-level plot points in those three movies made them nearly unwatchable for me. I did like the cool light sabre fights in the first one involving Darth Maul. Not sure that one had a single other redeeming quality.

Kyyle23 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Im excited for star wars because I read a lot of the post RotJ books, and I have a pretty good idea where the story is going. And it certainly is not a nostalgia piece(if I am right), its a new start, and a very good one at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 The new Star Wars movie looks awesome. Then they also released a teaser for the OTHER new Star Wars movie called "Rogue One", which is an anthology movie set between Episodes III and IV, and is about a band of rebel fighters who work to steal the plans of the Death Star. Apparently there will be no Jedis in the movie, because they want it as realistic a Star Wars movie as they can make. It's going to be a hardcore war movie in the vein of Saving Private Ryan, Blackhawk Down, etc. I think that's an interesting take that may bring in viewers who aren't big Star Wars fans, but do enjoy war movies.

TaylorStSox Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 At this point, I prefer to pretend the PT never existed. They really are just bad movies in just about every way imaginable. Redlettermedia did a great job of illustrating it, especially the focus being on Anakin. It really should have been Obi Wan's story. I'm probably more interested in Rogue One than Episode VII, though I can't wait for both. A gritty war movie set in the Star Wars universe directed by Gareth Edwards? Yeah, I'm in. Apparently they've even hired some of the production team from Saving Private Ryan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkBomber Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I severely doubt any of you would make this mistake, but incase you might, Id recommend not seeing Unfriended. my god I cant believe how bad that movie was. It wasnt even so bad its funny, its just bad. Half way through the movie the whole theater just started talking amongst themselves because it was so bad.

Went to the IMAX event downtown and as a token of appreciation WB gave us the two posters and a ticket to a see a early screening of the movie before it comes out, I think a week or 10 days before. And we got to see Superman and Batman go at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I saw Abrams do something that was "too much of a nostalgia piece" it was Into Darkness and that was a fairly weak movie. That was the point of the trailer, it was meant to evoke nostalgia. This is JJ Abrams that we're talking about, he is one of the most secretive filmmakers on the planet, the fact that they gave no details about the actual plot of the movie was done on purpose. People like to say 'don't judge a book by the cover', the same applies to movies, 'don't judge a movie by its trailer/title.

The entire Expanded Universe (EU) has been thrown out, meaning that they are no longer considered to be canon. The Force Awakens is an original story by JJ Abrams, Lawrence Kasdan and George Lucas.
