Star Wars VII (film) - December 18th 2015

[EvilNed]

Look sweet. I don't know why, but my first thought was "Looks a hell of a lot better than the clone trooper helmets".

Note Batman's Tumbler at end

Just so long as it isn't all about this: ;D

All I've heard is good about the new movie, but that title is cringe worthy. Still stoked, but please change the name.

Episode VIII: The Force Has Brunch

Episode IX: The Force Has Its Morning Dump Yeah ... "The Force Awakens" is a bit of a ... meh kind of title. It doesn't sound particularly kick arse, does it? It's not awful, but ... hmmm.

None of the Star Wars titles are anything inspiring though. I'd actually be more surprised if I thought "wow, what a cool title!"

[Legion2213]

I expect the new title will refer to a new generation of Jedi being recruited/taught by aster Skywalker (at least they didn't call it "the next generation" though) This is worrying simply because it will involve loads of young people who tend to have a negative effect on films for me. I won't write it off just yet though...SW got it's claws into me when I was a child and has never really let go...even though a lot of the modern stuff is hugely disappointing.

This is worrying simply because it will involve loads of young people who tend to have a negative effect on films for me. I feel like the casting of relative unknowns will go a long way to helping audiences accept them as the "next generation", as you correctly put it. I've seen a few of them in some smaller independent films and they seemed to be quite good at what they do. The guy from Attack The Block and the guy that played the troublesome boyfriend in Drive. The latter of which actually doesn't appear to be all that young(maybe early-mid 30s?), so that may also help with the transition.

The original cast were all kids more or less, so that doesn't bother me. And they were all unknowns, which helped IMO. So no big deal.

I think Harrison Ford was the old man of the crew, and he was known from Lucas' American Graffiti. Harrison mostly helped with the casting choices at first, and was chosen to be Hans Solo just about when they'd picked everyone else; if my memory serves me, that is.

A flame sword?

[Legion2213]

Oh...oh wow, that looked really, really sexy! X-Wings flying at sea level, the lovely vintage looking blocky speeder bike, the new dark Jedi...and the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy is back! F*cking Star Wars, man...it's been making me its bitch for nearly four decades now!

^^ Yep! But we know Abrams can do the eye candy, but his problem is often the script... Please let's have a solid meaty intelligent script! Not just an excuse for effect after effect!
