I know on 12/17 I'm gonna be like

 

[Darth Snoopy]

You're gonna have a heart attack and miss TFA?!?

 

[YoNoSe]

You're gonna have a heart attack and miss TFA?!?

No, my wife got us tickets for the 17th. Then I'm going to die from The Feels and go see Elizabeth.

 

[YoNoSe]

But it's possible I'll have a heart attack between now and then. Or a bus attack.

Pre-orders cancelled!

Ford tore into that HT fig like it was a turkey on Thanksgiving.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

That picture is awesome, YoNoSe!

Ford tore into that HT fig like it was a turkey on Thanksgiving.

Maybe he was hungry.

 

[YoNoSe]

Maybe he was hungry.

He does like to puff the Old Toby, I hear.

Where's The Josh when you need him?

I was actually picturing the movie open like that! It would be a shot looking up from far below at the end of the battle between Luke and Vader, the hand would get sliced off, and it would fly down towards the camera. Then the camera would follow it through the shafts where it gets sucked into, and stuck at a bend. The ratteling of the saber and hand caught in the vent would make an ugnaught go investigate, where he would find it and then you would start a montage of what happens to the lightsaber in the next 30 years. You would see it go from owner to owner how it changed “hands”, all in quick cuts, like just a few seconds per owner and the whole sequence would just be a couple of minutes.

Killer shot concept!



That could be a superb opening . . . utterly new and sophisticated for a Star Wars product.

And therefore we're likely never to see it done.

Expect a re-hash of tropes and images. Nostalgia meets youth. Minimal risk. Tease for the sequels, etc.

Hopefully a good tale emerges . . . . . . we'll see some cool toys at least.


(BTW The Red Violin is a minor masterpiece of cinema . . . no lie!)






Substitute a saber crystal for a bullet in this shot here:





You sure you're not a screenwriter, Mad Old Lu?

That was clone Palpatine in Dark Empire. Clone Luke was in the Thrawn trilogy. Loved 'em both!

Kinda far fetched and contrived how the burnt to hell mask and helmet was somehow recovered from a random moon full of teddy bears. That and the Anakin/Luke blue lightsaber that was clearly lost when it fell from Cloud City.

Seems like something you'd see in an EU novel or comic from the 90s. What's next, they recovered Luke's hand and decided to make a clone from it?

Jesus Christ reading through this thread is that all you do is cry?

 

[DiFabio]

That's considered "crying"?
