Star Wars: The Force Awakens (12/18/15)

[Rorywan]

I saw the trailer in IMAX 3D last night. Wow.

I'd chalk up the lame battle that was shown to limited budget and the PG rating.

If Ewoks were in the prequels they'd be CGI and jumping around like Yoda.

TPM is the biggest piece of SW trash ever forced upon the world. Even Darth Maul can't save it. AOTC and ROTS I kind of actually like.

Stop exaggerating Madzy.

I'm a pretty harsh critic sometimes, but TPM is the only PT film worth it's salt - & it's been debated on ad nauseum on these boards in it's defense many times. Needless to say, it's my fave of the three by a country mile. There's more to like in that one film (Gungans aside) than the other two COMBINED.

You are absolutely correct! They'd be like the ninja dwarves' from the hobbit!

The Ewok vs Stormtrooper statue is amazing!

(Gungans aside)

Who is the most annoying Gungan? Jar Jar, Boss Nass, or Captain Tarpals? As much flack that Jar Jar catches (and rightfully so), I honestly think he's the second most annoying Gungan. Boss Nass is just beyond ridiculous.

They're all annoying, but I agree, what the hell was up with Boss Nass? Talk about a speech impediment! He was spitting all over the place!

 

[Rambler]

Ugh, another stupid Lucas implant to make it funny for kids. My kids loved him because they thought he was funny.

Like Razz said - they're all pretty irritating. The only Gungan related scenes I liked, were when Liam & Ewan swam to the under water city, & that opening shot of the soldier riding on the Gunga-chicken thing, walking through the fog before the big battle starts iirc.

Boss Nass looked more like a small upright Hutt to me, which was always strange but funny too.

 

[Darkseed]

Received thunderous applause during Avengers Age of Ultron.....it was nice to feel the excitement again

Saw it tonight. Loved it.

I saw this on rebelscum, looks to be a kind of a big spoiler.....

Spoiler

Looks like Daisy Ridley is possibly not Rey but Kira Solo? Read the nameplate - Kira's Bumper Car.

Yeah it been sort of common knowledge for a while that...

Spoiler

She goes by Rey because she is in hiding, after a sort.

I didn't know that. Interesting....

 

[Rorywan]

Whilst I think that seems correct about Rey. That bumper car isn't official is it? Thought it was fan made?

Josh Trank isn't working on the second "Anthology" film

In a statement posted on the official Star Wars site, Trank wrote:

“After a year of having the incredible honor of developing with the wonderful and talented people at Lucasfilm, I’m making a personal decision to move forward on a different path. I’ve put a tremendous amount of thought into this, and I know deep down in my heart that I want to pursue some original creative opportunities. That said, the Star Wars universe has always been one of my biggest influences, and I couldn’t be more excited to witness its future alongside my millions of fellow Star Wars fans. I want to thank my friends Kathleen Kennedy, Kiri Hart, Simon Kinberg, and everyone at Lucasfilm and Disney for the amazing opportunity to have been a part of this. May the Force be with you all.”

Trank, 30, came to prominence with his 2012 found-footage superhero movie Chronicle and is currently finishing the Fantastic Four reboot for Fox. That film has an August release date.

Trank raised eyebrows when he didn't show up for a planned presentation at Disney's Star Wars Celebration in April. At the time, Disney and Trank said he was not feeling well, with Trank tweeting that he had "worst flu of my life." But sources say Trank was asked by Disney executives not to attend the event.

Rumors have persisted that Fox is unhappy with Trank's performance on Fantastic Four and that Kinberg, who is producing both that film and the second Star Wars spinoff, was getting cold feet about working with Trank again.

In statement, Lucasfilm vp development Hart said, “It was a privilege to collaborate with Josh. We are grateful for the energy and love of Star Wars that he brought to the process, and we wish him all the best.”

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Yup, that's how bad F4 is...the guy had to "walk away" from this film

What is an anthology film?

 

[Praedane]

Oh, that may not bode well for the FF movie at all...

"Rumors have persisted that Fox is unhappy with Trank's performance on Fantastic Four and that Kinberg, who is producing both that film and the second Star Wars spinoff, was getting cold feet about working with Trank again. "

Not Rogue One but whatever the next one ends up being.
