STAR WARS: Episode 7 (All-Time #1 opening box office.) (2 Viewers)

Not bad.......prolly see it when the crowd dies down. A little too much throwback BS.

"Throwback BS"?Wanting more Gungans or 8year olds who cant act?

I think it's a fair criticism. IF this movie is going to be any good, it needs to stand on it's own. The ONLY positive thing the prequels had was the nostalgia and they were miserable failures.

Disagree. That is not the only way for it to be good. I love that it looks to be a blend of the old guard while introducing what is next for the series. Would instantly be one of the best of the series if it has more practical effects and even above average acting.A big problem with the last three is we knew where the story was heading.

The problem with the last three wasn't that we knew were it was going. It was how they got there.

• The Phantom Menace is unnecessary...and its bad in the sense that Lucas was trying, more or less to shoehorn it into the "standalone movie" that A New Hope was.
• Hayden Christanson was a bad actor. You needed a guy to nail the dichotomy of emotions Anakin was supposed to be feeling.
• They killed off their best visual villain in the first one. No need to replace Maul with Count Dooku.

The new one has promise....I just don't want to see a fapfest homage to the original ones. If the characters work organically in the story...that's great. If they're just shoehorning them in for name recognition/pop....the story will suffer.

I dont think it will be shoehorned in. My assumption is it has to so with some of their kids since the force has to be passed down somehow since the Jedi were wiped out.Hayden isnt a bad actor. He and others involved with those bad couple movies are fine in other things. Problem always has been that Lucas has no ear for dialogue and doesn't seem to be good at directing actors. More of an ideas man, and it is good that he handed ofc the franchise.

Hayden is an awful actor, but it's not all his fault. If you watch enough Woody Allen movies, he gets good performances out of people like Madonna and Scarlett Johansen. Lucas has no feel for acting.

Like, we're supposed to believe that this young Anakin was so alluring and charismatic that a queen found him irresistible? Hayden couldn't have bedded a truck stop waitress with that on-screen presence.

He was perfectly fine in Life as a House. Portman can act, as can most of the rest of the cast. I put the blame on Lucas as most come off wooden and robotic.

Not a fan of Portman aside from Black Swan. But no one ever accused Liam Neeson or Ewan McGregor of being bad actors.

Nope. And their lines were awful. McGregor did what he could with obiwans cheese ball one liners.

But Taken is a silly movie, not a movie with a bad Neeson performance.

 

[Scoresman]

the plot centers around a young version of the original cast who are transpoorted back in time after yoda discovers a time travelling delorean. unbeknownst to yoda as they travel back in time they become teenage versions of themselves. chewbaccas hair is all slicked back. yoda wears sunglassees. luke has a leather jacket and smokes cigarretes. r2d2 learns to talk and his voice is james earl jones with constant vader breathing because he got the vader chip mixed up with the one that was supposed to make him sound like the "fonz" from happy days.

The guy I am talking about it at 1:10-1:11 of the trailer. On first pass I thought it looked like Boba Fett in battle, but on second time through my son pointed out the cloak as we slowed down. Looks like a sith with a mask maybe?

ETA: I am not up on this stuff I guess. Looks like that is the first face shot of the dude with the new 3pronged lightsaber. Looks like he is using the force in the clip, suggesting that he is already pretty powerful with the force.

Kylo Ren. The names haven't gotten any better.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

I admit, after Hamill's guest spot on Flash, I'm feeling more confident that he can pull this off. He did a fantastic job, imo.

Feel the same way, he killed it, and he didn't look too bad.

That's ridiculous. They're just going to use the Lego star wars plot.

Anybody can do anything in fan fiction. Leia had Boba Fetts kids in many. Or in the more disturbing ones Luke had Boba Fetts kids. Yea...

Personally, I'm hoping for a clip show movie where there's about 20 minutes of new footage that's mainly Han, Luke and Leia are conversing saying "Hey, remember when we.....".....

Will they be sitting in a movie theater watching the new movie. Thus, we are watching the new movie with them while they make comments about the movie. Sweet.

I will never forget some of the cringe-worthy lines between Hayden/Portman in the prequals.

Anakin Skywalker: You are so... beautiful.

Padmé: It's only because I'm so in love.

Anakin Skywalker: No, it's because I'm so in love with you.

Padmé: So love has blinded you?

Anakin Skywalker: [laughs] Well, that's not exactly what I meant.

Padmé: But it's probably true.

The one thing truly epic aspect about the prequels was the level of terrible writing.Actors get far too much credit for the success of a film when it is really the writers and director who are should receive the accolades (or shoulder the blame).

I never watch AoTC but there's that one line Anakin has, goes something like... "I don't like sand, it is rough. Unlike your skin which is soft."

That line came to mind as well, I was going to Google for the exact wording, but you got pretty close I think.

I think he says it then awkwardly touches her arm.

The two dooshbags in Twilight had better chemistry. Yes, I saw Twilight.

Man....I don't know about Neeson. I like him.......but my first thought of him (aside from dying in just about every movie he's been in) is how bad he was in Taken, Darkman, A-Team and Next of Kin. Yeah...those aren't exactly the greatest 4 movies of all time........but I don't think he's ever really carried a movie; Schindler's List included.

A) He was tremendous in Schindler's List but the story carries it not any one actor (even Fiennes)

2) I guess you never saw Rob Roy

D) Darkman was a cinematic masterpiece of extraordinary magnitude.

Love Rob Roy....but he wasn't even the best actor in that one. Tim Roth was the man in that one......and Neeson played a pretty stock straight man role. And we all know that the Water Drinking Bird stole the show in Darkman.

If Neeson's job is to play the straight/every man ala Kevin Costner....then I guess he does a good enough job. I just don't think he's been memorable in anything.

 

[Thunderlips]

Needs more lens flare.

I'm hoping that Abrahms and Disney keep up the Lucas tradition of frame wipes to transition between scenes.

He was perfectly fine in Life as a House. Portman can act, as can most of the rest of the cast. I put the blame on Lucas as most come off wooden and robotic.

This except only with Carrie Fischer and R2. Fischer has developed a serious funnybone in her later years, and her quips met with R2's beeps could be comic gold.

Not sure about most of you but if you haven't read the Thrawn trilogy, that could tide you over till December. I haven't read it in 20 years, in high school, and I've decided I need to read it again.

I've read a few of the original X-Wing books that Luke had a small part in but I can't recall any others I did read off hand. The X-Wing ones followed Wedge, I believe.

 

[Billy Bats]

Here it is:

It's a new charachter, I'll spoiler tag it for those who don't want any info on it...

That's supposedly Captain Phasma, a chrome trooper, reportedly played by Gwendoline Christie from GoT.

Loved the Thrawn books. Still wouldn't have a problem if that was the direction they went in for the sequels.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Questions:

When Luke does his "The force is strong in my family" speech in the trailer, I think he says "my father has it". Is that one of those jedi are eternal things, because "my father had it" would be more sense other wise.

Also in the same speech, is he talking to a family member or a non related character?

Meh not really. Unfortunately I don't think we'll have to worry about the Thrawn trilogy. Something would have leaked by now about it.

They did the same thing for phantom menace with an Obi-Wan speech. That trailer was fantastic too ....

if I recall correctly, either the Thrawn trilogy or a series that came out shortly thereafter, somebody created a dark side clone of Luke from his hand in cloud city. Which book was that? Do we think that could be happening here?

I am not worried about how it relates to the new movies I just have heard so many fanboys go on-and-on about the Thrawn trilogy that I want to know what the fuss is about.

When Luke does his "The force is strong in my family" speech in the trailer, I think he says "my father has it". Is that one of those jedi are eternal things, because "my father had it" would be more sense other wise.

Also in the same speech, is he talking to a family member or a non related character?

My guess is he's talking to his niece.

The singular "you have it" also makes me think they're ditching the Solo twins from the Thrawn series and going with Han and Leia having one kid: a daughter?
