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

It's a costume fitting photo. She's not in character.

Despite what I just said, I AM concerned with her part in this.

She's dressed like she went through Han's old clothes.

But she looks better than I thought. In the heavily blurred photo anyway. In 4k, not so sure.

Pretty much.

Remember kids, stay away from cigarettes and cocaine.

She looks silly, but whaddya going to do? Ford looks like a dope in this too and I'm sure Hamill as Luke will be off putting as well, whatever. How well they've aged will probably dictate their screen time and importance in the script. Ford will obviously have the most, then Hamill (he'll get played up at the end and in sequels), then a few scenes with Fisher. I really wouldn't blame Fisher and her past, the three of them are just geezers is all.


They should have made the sequel trilogy in the 90s if they were going to include Luke, Han and Leia.


-OR-

Just not include the three of them in these stories.


-OR-


Not make any more Star Wars movies at all.



This felt like a good send off for the three of them to be perfectly honest. I hope Force Awakens doesn't taint this like the prequels tainted Vader, Yoda, Fett, the force, etc.




Hell, say what you will about the prequels, but this was a perfectly good send off to end the saga, I think,

 

[Wor-Gar]

Just not include the three of them in these stories.

That got my vote.


I understand the need and desire to wrap this around by connecting it directly to the OT... which of course works in an ideal world... but the reality is they just waited too long.

If this is 30 years later, shouldn't Leia be like 48 instead of 58? There's a big difference there. We can all fake it, but...

This is just going to be like the Marion reveal in Crystal Skull.... nice idea, but you still cringe when its realized.

That part has always played weird to me. They take delivery of Luke from Obi-wan, walk over there and immediately turn their attention away from the baby that they've just received and they look at the sunset that they see every day.

Pretty much this.

Going to be weird seeing them as these characters again.

The binary twin sunset represents the future and hope. In the original, Luke has seen that very sunset everyday too. In that particular moment, Lucas and Co. are trying to convey Luke's longing for purpose and adventure. Between the visuals and Williams score, they succeed.

Owen and Beru have a child, raising him is their future, it's the same thing. It's poignant and optimistic as their little baby Luke represents a purpose filled life for them. They've taken familiar iconography and have given it to Owen and Beru as a sort of bookend to the saga. They're taking in the moment, this new baby, the sunset, their future, it's very cinematic.

Don't be such a hardass A-dev.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Don't be such a hardass A-dev.

And Mary Poppins makes him mad.

[RIDDICK]

Don't be such a hardass.

Speaking of bridging the trilogies, one of the variant covers for the Star Wars: Shattered Empire comic book has just been revealed. This is part of the Journey to The Force Awakens imprint that will fill in the gaps between Eps Vi & VII...

LOL it's pretty bad when you're only 58 and your own mother looks better than you. (seriously she looks 75)

Same, but i think JJ will handle it.
