Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (12/18/15) Discussion Thread

Brilliant! Because that worked so well in KotCS! :lol

If that's the direction they take, I'd be fairly disappointed. When I was younger, I didn't like Han in RotJ. I felt he wasn't cool anymore. Later I learned Harrison Ford was just phoning it in because he didn't even want to BE in the movie. But you know what? It works for me as an adult. It completes Han's story arc in the trilogy. In the beginning he was rogue up to no good and only looking out to save his own neck. In ESB he claims to still be that person but then takes a detour with Leia on the Falcon and ends up being captured anyways because of it. Upon being unfrozen (and with the death mark gone with Jabba's death), he can devote his life to Leia and the noble cause of the Rebellion. I don't think them splitting up and him being a scoundrel out and about on his own would be a satisfying continuation.

Han can still be a bad ass. He can still be witty. He can still have one liners. He can still get angry at C-3PO and his ship. He can still be a gunslinger. He can still have connections to the scum and villainy from his past. His life doesn't need to be all rainbows and butterflies. He can have an edge but still be there for his family and for the Republic. I think sacrificing himself (and his ship?) for his family and for the cause of the Republic would be the most heroic and noble thing Han could do in these next movies. His death in Episode VII would also serve as an instant cause for the next generation of Skywalkers to be lured into the Darkside. His death would also give the audience an instant hatred of the villains and hope to see them die. His death would also force the movies to shift focus away from these older characters and onto the new ones as should be the case.

Agreed with all, except for the Han to die in Ep VII bit. I don't really want that to happen.

I love Han but I do see him going out in a blaze of glory for a good cause in Ep VII. It'll hurt to see happen but I really think it'll launch this new trilogy off well and make us all despise whoever does kill Han. Imagine if we get to see Chewie mowing people down in a fit of Wookie rage because of his death?

Some supposed insider information from AintItCoolNews:

I ran it by everyone in the editorial chatroom. Beaks, Merrick, Quint, Capone... everyone... and they rattled their sources cages - and couldn't get confirmation... BUT tonight... a source that I'm told to call Col. Mustard claimed completely on his own that "the working title" was THE ANCIENT FEAR....

He also stated that "it refers to Max Von Sydow's villain who makes Pazuzu look like a *****!"

A weird alternate universe of what happened in the books in a way. Ehhh....I'd sooner have them copy the books. Killing Chewie so that Han becomes a more hardened character......although you might lose the sarcasm and one liners...hmmm. Then again I didn't actually read the books maybe he retained that after Chewie's death?

Great points K07 - but I don't want Han to die either.

'The Ancient Fear' ? :lol

I think they asked Jar Jar to come up with that one.
 
Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (12/18/15) Discussion Thread

"The Ancient Fear" sounds like a good title to me. C'mon guys, look to Flash Gordon when naming these things! Not one of the previous Star Wars movies has a bad title. Corny? Cheesy? Stupid? Sure. Just the way it's supposed to be.

I don't think it's necessary to kill off Han by the way. Nor do I necessarily want to see it happen. However I think it would be fitting for the character to go out in a blaze of glory and doing so for someone besides himself.
 
Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (12/18/15) Discussion Thread

I don't know. It sounds like something a fan would make up because it's the "opposite" of "A New Hope." But, of course, Phantom Menace elicited a lot of confusion when it was announced. So who knows.

I just want Kyle Katarn to be a part of this new canon and appear in movies.

Han goes dark for a while. throwing himself into dangerous situation after dangerous situation. he more or less reverts to who he was in ANH. the Sarcasam and wit were there, but han became very... DANGEROUS for a while. he also became a bit of a drunk, frequently getting into barfights and etc when he wasn't out in the falcon "trying to get himself killed". He eventualy reverted to type, kept SOMe of his edge, but became witty, and sarcastic again.

Great points K07 - but I don't want Han to die either.

The phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones
Revenge of the Sith
The Star Wars
A New Hope
The Empire Strikes Back
The Return of the Jedi
The Anchient Fear

Nope, the title fits just fine with all 7 Existing ones. sounds just as campy as every other SW movie title, including the original title of EP IV



Will this movie have crystal skulls. :lol
Yes, Lucasfilm has them by the caseload.
