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

[Darth Madden]

I've posted this before and I'll post it again....What a travesty!! They seriously hired one of Hollywoods prettiest women to play a CGI character??? Maybe she kisses Adam Driver in the movie and becomes this frog alien???

Well, she is obviously ok with it so I don't see it as a big deal.

I agree with Darth, what a waste.

I will also add. Anyone expecting another Empire from Force Awakens is going to be disappointed. After reading the Vanity Fair article, it seems the overriding reaction that everyone has had to seeing actual footage from the movie is that it's fun, witty and humorous. Anyone else get that from the two teasers released so far? Nope, neither did I.

It's the most worrying thing I've read so far. As that's what JJ did to Star Trek.

This is going to be something very commercial. It's Disney now. As much as JJ is bitching/joking about JarJar, lets wait a couple of years before slapping him on the back and laughing along with him. I thought it was very wrong of him to take the piss out of Lucas like that.

JJ sir? Yousa in no position to take da pizz outta JarJar.

JJ is cocky... and when you get cocky you turn into old Speilberg and Lucas. When you worried, pulling hair, your budget is short and have a deadline when the film takes 3 months more and you only have 1... Yeah best films... Look at Speilberg and Lucas on their first projects... Jaws had major ****ups in production but great movie in end. Star Wars had major **** ups in production as well Anthony daniels in heat etc... but end result great movie... Now look at this Disney... HAS ALL THE MONEY AND HIRED A DIRECTOR/CREATOR... He has no worries... no responsibility and no care of what it takes to make something. As quint from jaws said to hopper... you got money hands mr. hopper you been counting all your life...

Well it's going to vary from filmmaker to filmmaker. Kubrick often seemed to have everything he asked for, and still churned out masterpieces. Same with the Coen Bros. But I'm guessing JJ is feeling some pressure from on high not to go too far over budget or over schedule.

Eh I'm calling failure of the whole thing... Hell I'm not even trusting Jurassic World. Lower expectations never get you hurt.

This is sounding more and more like a glorified fan-**** of a movie...

Why not try a different, fresh approach? Oh well, I'm sure it'll at least look spectacular on screen.

"Different" and "fresh" aren't in Hollywood's vocabulary. But I still have high hopes JJ can pull it off..

And say what you like about the prequels, but you gotta give Lucas credit for telling *his* story *his* way. He bought his freedom from the Hollywood machine.

 

[Johnny Utah]

I thought the same when I saw the pic of Maz. What's the point other than a name? I was thinking the same about Adam Driver as Kylo Ren but now it looks like he will have his mask off at some point.

Just a shame my Blu Rays show different... ROTJ especially, I don't really care about ROTS lol...

 

[spindrift]

Interesting how expectations are- too much "Disneyfied" creeping in this movie?
Well look what was riding on TPM- Lucas returns to writing/directing...first Sw movie in many years..and look what we got.
NOTHING will live up to our expectations..we can only hope this won't be a flat-out misfire

 

[Wor-Gar]

This movie has to make more money than AoU or we're all doomed by Jye.

 

[jye4ever]

Don't blame me, blame Goldman Sachs and crows.

But yeah, if this movie doesn't make 16 billion opening weekend and get some girl named Mary pregnant on opening night, then yeah, no Episode 8 for us.

It's Star Wars, it's bound to make a fortune, we even went back for more punishment after Attack of the Clones lol. They're probably already starting bits on the next one.
