Who is excited about Star Wars 7 ?!?!?!?

[Woobie]

Is anyone hoping there's the slightest chance we will get to see Jar Jar Binks' head removed with a red lightsaber, and roll down a long staircase? Or perhaps into a bottomless techno-pit? If we can just have that, I will be satisfied with whatever else they toss up on the screen.

I'd like to see him thrown to one of those monsters like Luke killed in Jabba the Hutt's palace.

Anyone think that Luke is gonna be the bad guy in this one? Cause I think he's gonna be the bad guy in this one. He ain't on the movie posters. Or is he?
I already have tickets to see it in IMAX the week after it opens. Can't wait!

Yep. Film Theorists did a pretty good analysis of it. It's pretty likely that Luke is the bad guy.

Can't be as good without Lucas. Can it?

At this point, I think the franchise is better off without Lucas. From all the interviews I have seen, his vision was more of a space soap opera than an action adventure story. Disney is making VII for the fans. Don't get me wrong, IV, V and VI were outstanding, but I didn't care for where Lucas went with I, II and III.

Ditto!

(Does this count as a quality post?)

Just wait until Jamil graduates from 'Dark Lord of Sarcasm' to a full Sith Lord!

Did you notice that PaulF has already been jamilified?

In fairness to Lucas, the reason he started with IV is that I, II, and III wind up pretty slowly setting the backstory. Already seeing IV, V, and VI, I found I, II, and III interesting while also seeing that had I started there, I would have become bored and disinterested, and that had Lucas started there, the Star Wars franchise likely would never have gained traction.

Rule of Two, don't you know?

I'm thinking the female lead is possibly Hans and Leia's daughter? Thus inherited the jedi power through Leia?


We have tickets to see the movie at Flix; reserved seats there so no fighting for seats together.

I will agree that Lucas is a smart man. He wanted to tell a story, and he knew the best way to go about doing it. Had he chosen to continue with the franchise, I would still have been all in, but with Disney now at the helm, I think it will be better since they're focused on making a story for the fans versus telling fans a story.

No one has asked the important question yet. . .will Rey be in any type of Jabba the Hut slave girl outfit?

When you consider the evolution of the franchise over time, the Disney effect, and the fact that our society is much harder to scandalize today than it was in 1985, my guess is that there will be at least something that, well, would serve to encourage less than G-rated thoughts.

Jessie Prescott and Alex Russo jello wrestling for the Hutt?

Sweet! Seeing some smartly attired intergalactic bewbies will sure help take my troubles off my mind for a few hours.

I have to wonder if he is indeed more powerful now.

Have any of you read the books? There are about a hundred Star Wars books by different authors that go back hundreds of years before anything you know from the movies, and some hundreds of years after the movies. They've been talking about SW 7 for a year now, and frankly I'm not that interested anymore, but I would like to know how it follows the books.

Personally, being a fan of the Dark Side myself, I hope that Luke has turned to the Dark Side. That being said, I am excited about the upcoming film. I agree that after watching episodes I, II, and III, I was semi-let down by the franchise. However, after reading a theory about Jar Jar that he was likely a force trained Sith Lord (see link)
https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/3qvj6w/theory_jar_jar_binks_was_a_trained_force_user/ ; and George Lucas saying that Jar Jar was the "key to all of this", I have gained a greater appreciation for those movies. For those who aren't going to read it; the idea is that Jar Jar was actually the true Sith Master and that he was puppeting Palpatine as the real "emporer". But after the first film and the hatred of that character from the fans, that didn't end up playing out in the films, and the ditched the idea of having the most hated characted being the master villain.

The Mouse officially declared all EU books as non-canon, as of about a year ago. (I'm still pissed about it.) So, whatever all the EU books say no longer matters.

Now, try telling me that you didn't watch the most recent installments without thinking about spending 'quality' time with Natalie Portman!

Bought tickets on-line the other day for IMAX-3D sweetness at my favorite movie theater... Hamilton 16 IMAX in Noblesville!!!
Can't wait!

I saw the original Star Wars in 1977 when I was 7-8 years old and it was one of the most memorable moments of my early childhood.
I'm not a super fan or anything, but I'm very excited about the new movie and from what I've seen, it looks like J.J. Abrams has knocked it out of the park!!

Will be attending for sure with the wife!
