Star Wars 7 shit talk

wait what?

No matter – whatever happens, the Twilight series' positive legacy is already written in stone. A generation of young readers have spent hundreds – nay thousands – of hours reading Meyer's books with the same passion and enthusiasm that the great gothic novels once excited. Moreover, they have formed an extremely vocal and articulate fanbase whose obsessive dedication to the written word has effectively forced the film-makers to remain essentially respectful of the source texts.

Truly, trolling refined into high art.

Wow, didn't expect that to be Kermode before I clicked it.

He thinks The Exorcist is the best film ever made

just remembered this guy for some reason. i wonder if the extended universe authors are at all trolling george l with all of the terrible terrible names?

A philosophical Bollux

C'mon man what abt Splinter of the Mind's Eye?

It's somewhat mindblowing to learn about this and read about the writing of "Empire" and realize "I had it all planned out from day one!" was GL's most successful achievement in creating the Star Wars myth.

It sounds like Mark, Harrison, and Carrie are down with this. I'm ok with it too, as long as Mark doesn't have to have that dumb 'Padawan learner' buzzcut with the asymmetrical rat tail from TPM.

... why would he?

In the event that Luke Skywalker had a kid and is training him to be a Jedi. And said kid may turn out evil (???) It rhymes like POETRY!

but... if he is the teacher, why would he have the hairdo of a padawan, is the question I am waiting for you to ask yourself

both of you are on time out, go to the corner and reflect on what youve done

I'm just going to sit over here and wait for you to actually remember the rest of the movie

Camera pans down to ugly pink Yoda-like creature with an eyepatch, right?

No, Ewan was wearing trousers that day.

haha, nice

I hope this happens, just to hear the screams that result:

haha "a film mole" speaking to a UK paper doesn't seem hella reliable.

It isn't, but this is the shit talk thread, anything goes.

Director list allegedly including/down to Vaughn, Favreau, Fincher.

was thinking vince vaughn for a second

Meanwhile, whatever:

I love how this is all this bizarre demi-disgust over the 501st, who are all about the charity work.

Keep in mind that, legally speaking, Nikki Finke is mentally retarded.

holy hell that is hilarious

fans really are the worst

You don't think it is a little weird for nerds to dress up as fictional baby-killin' fascist troops and visit children's hospitals?

Darth Vader and stormtroopers have been kids' favorite characters since, like, 1977, along with Chewbacca and the droids.

Lest we forget

Finally, we're going to find out that R2 D2 is a true Jedi master!

io9 has things to say about idiot fan

http://io9.com/5965636/and-heres-the-worst-star-wars-fan-in-the-entire-world

I've been having massive lols these past few weeks at people I know on Facebook that are taking a break from their constant Game of Thrones or Twilight status updates to sneer at Star Wars and Star Trek fans.

We know different people.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Little Miss Sunshine" screenwriter Michael Arndy is penning the script.

he also did Toy Story 3

Yawn.

Actually, I think he's a great choice. I'm a little more optimistic now. I thought he did a great job with Super-8, and I think he will be the dude that can remember that these are meant to be, at heart, kid's stories but that kids don't need to be condescended to (fucking jar-jar).

oh shit, stormtroopers AND lens flare!

haha, tbf though, considering the major Close Encouters era Spielberg vibe Abrams was going for, the lens flare was p appropriate if completely fucking overused

This seems like a win-win to me. Now that Star Trek has been revived as commercially viable franchise, someone else can take it in a more interesting direction and Abrams can make the Star Wars movie he always wanted to make.

And anyone who was excited about new Star Wars to begin with and is disappointed with this news: lol, sucker.

i'm pretty happy with it!
