That lightsaber looks dumb as fuck. It already is a weapon you can maim and kill yourself with very easily, but you couldn't amputate the hand you hold it with. Now you can. Meh. Certainly wouldn't want to do any overhead swings with that thing.

Then again, wtf am I doing nitpicking Star Wars.

Not a big SW fan but I'm sure this will be a decent Abrams "nothing but action keep moving keep pushing don't stop or they'll notice the script sucks" blockbuster.

That Sith is Adam Driver, right? Dudes physical acting is off the charts. Swagging through the forest like a demonic presence, hobbled and hunched over because he had too many souls for breakfast. That's a man on the come up for sure.

It's funny that the standard for both Wars and Trek is now "please just give us something we can watch, dear god".

People hold the classics to this super high standard but even the originals weren't that great. They were fun, cool and didn't look like anything else at the times when they originally hit. People just want fun and cool scifi how is that bad? Space samurais are cool and evil space samurais are even cooler.

We're getting new characters and I'm sure we'll get new worlds too. This first film most likely just a bridge. You bring them in with some thing(s) old before you hit them with something new. A spoon full of sugar and all that. I'm optimistic about the next films (and this one!)

yeah it's understandable why you'd start with the familiar before jumping into fresher stuff. disney plans to make yearly star wars films, jumping between spinoff and mainline. I don't think it's going to be the third trilogy.

The only good part of Episode 3 was Ian McDiarmid's performance as Palpatine. Other than that it was the exact some fucking bullshit. I mean I GUESS it's the best of the three, but that's pretty faint praise.

Because that was his original vision for the movie, he just didn't have the technology back in 1977 to make rocks.

Naw, the redlettermedia boys nailed it: this is just hype building for a built-in audience. It’s working on me, though I honestly think it’s going to be about as forgettable as JJ’s Star Trek reboot -- fun fan service, but nothing else.

I’d love to be wrong, but will be satisfied if I’m right.

Well, at least I’ll be more satisfied than when I was driving home from an opening-day showing of Episode I at 03:00, wondering what the fuck had just happened.

Well everything I've seen from JJ has been serviceable, but lacking. Beyond the mess that is Into Darkness, 09 was an ok movie. Good scenes and action, but nothing more then an enjoyable one time movie. Same with MI3(though PSH helped a rather typical movie bad guy).

There's nothing wrong with JJ movies. They hit the right note mostly, but really never in some interesting way. They all seem safe which is strange for a person who is supposedly the "nerd done good" and a person with actual clot. His things feel creatively workmanlike.

Doesn't help that Star Wars dosen't feel special anymore. Between the terrible prequels and soon to be over saturation, the universe and the property has lost whatever mystique it had. It feels very been there done that to me these days. I mean I'll be happy to see a continuation of the saga, but honestly star wars was fine when it was just three movies and these side things that where there if you wanted them.

I thought MI3 was the best of the series. Probably one of my favorite movies that year.

I think pretty much all the MI movies are ok.

The 1st is fun because it's crazy and I remember it having a hot chick as a kid. It's probably the best actual "spy" movie of the series.

The 2nd had thandie newton and some extreme over the topness so it was fun.

The 3rd, well I remember Phillip Seymour Hoffman being creepy and the missile bridge scene. That's it though. I remember it kind of just ending.

The 4th, cool set pieces. The Call of Duty like movie.

George Lucas hasn't seen the new trailer for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

Maybe he's boycotting it over the lack of Gungans and bad dialogue.

As Rolling Stone points out, the trailer has been viewed more than 60 million times on YouTube since it was posted Nov. 28.

But none of those views was by the "Star Wars" creator.

When asked by the New York Post what he thought of the long-awaited trailer, Lucas said, "I don't know anything about it. I haven't seen it yet."

Come on ... really?

The newspaper also reportedly asked Lucas if he was curious about J.J. Abrams' vision for the film. Lucas said "Not really."

He's probably mad about Abrams "no Ewoks" policy.

Lucas explained he hasn't seen the trailer "because it's not in the movie theater. I like going to the movies and watching the whole thing there. I plan to see it when it's released."

So, a man who creates, arguably, the most popular and greatest sci-fi franchise in film history, then turns it over to someone else, isn't chomping at the bit to see what the other guy is doing with it? He wants to wait a year to see it on a bigger screen, when he can just dial it up in a moment of boredom?

I don't think so.

Am_I_Anonymous · « **Reply #117 on:** December 09, 2014, 02:23:00 PM »

Lucas is probably bored of the shit. It's taken up pretty much all of his adult life. Let the man move on with his life without hammering him because he isn't invested in a goddamn trailer....jesus christ.
