Thread: The Force Awakens

If anyone says "MEH" I shall remove their luddite head with my broadsword like lightsabre

30 Million YouTube views in 2 days last week, I worry Disney will fuck it up .. Seems weird not seeing George Lucas name on the title too.

Nah... I think Abrams has it covered. It's gone back to what made it work in the first place. Classic retelling of a timeless myth. Heroes, Baddies, Tatooine, charm, character and kick arse future / retro nerdy technology. It was steam punk 30 years before people even coined the phrase. It's like cowboys in space mixed with King Arthur and some weird creatures like your first glimpse of snatch who freak you out a bit and then you can't get enough of them. Can't wait. I might even go to the pictures to watch it on the big screen.

No Jar jar...I'm happy. Do have concerns with Disney involvement, trying to over cutesy it ya know (who was the teeny riding the toaster and the bee bopping rolling gum ball machine) Though honestly looking forward to it.

Flying toasters are cool, that's technology you can trust. (Even if you do impatiently use the lever to pop your stuff early and then have to double dip like someone late to a swingers party who finds the fruit bowl has no keys left in it)

Disney are the fellows behind the marvel films, I don't think they actually do a lot except take in a cut of the profits when it comes to these films, so I don't think there is much to worry about... Unless you wanted zac effron to be slain in a lightsabre battle maybe :S

The first three Star Wars films are very fun. I like that good versus evil style storyline. I enjoy seeing a group of so called terrorist rebels fighting back against a draconian yet downright camp, galaxy wide imperial elite. Darth Vader, the classic bad guy, something akin to Tony Blair; a pawn in a much larger manipulation of global sentiment. The only flaw in the series was the second trilogy which was just not very good storytelling. I enjoyed the end of the third film in the last series when Anakin became Vader, but I found it a little too simplistic. I wanted it to be some kind of Michael Corleone style moral disintegration, but instead saw it more as a teenager going on a high school shooting rampage after being turned down by the girl and getting a C on his test. I like the title of the new film, it is a nice title.

We have to wait this time next year!

watch star wars rebels, its an animated series on disney channel so it's a bit gay and made so children can watch it(and buy toys i guess) but it's actually pretty good, the inquisitor is pretty cool bad guy.. it is set between the last jar jar film(whatever it was called) and the original star wars film.

Saw a black storm trooper....really hoping that he's Lando Calrissian Jr.

That's r...........................eally not something I have thought about. That would be fun, as would an appearance by Fett's offspring. Hang on, where on the SW timeline is the new film set?

Were you going to type "racist"? Because I'm sorry A) Lando is the ONLY bad ass soul brother in the fucking galaxy (apparently) and B ) Who wouldn't want that to be Lando's son? Lando was cool as hell....he sold malt liquor for fucks sake!!!



BAD ASS!


This is set years and years after Return of The Jedi.


Boba Fett should just climb out of the Sarlaac pit...he was wearing all that armor.

30 years after Jedi and I thought the humour was pretty clear in my post, and had nothing to do with accusing you of anything. Bloody hell man, lighten up. I agree he was one bad mofo.

I want to see princess Leila in a gold armour bikini again.
