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.

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.

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!
― abanana, Thursday, 24 January 2013 22:19 (eleven years ago) link
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
― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 24 January 2013 22:29 (eleven years ago) link
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.

lol, well hey if "too much lens flare" is all they've got, he's getting off lucky so far. i don't envy dude at all, hope he's prepared to have every decision he makes for the next four years consistently shat upon by all corners of the internet.

feel like this dude could do ok if he concentrates on making a cool movie and avoids the super 8 sentimental meta bullshit, could be p hard to resist what w working on a legendary franchise and the temptation to just fill it w a lot of nerd pleasing references to the 1st trilogy
― lag∞n, Friday, 25 January 2013 16:41 (eleven years ago) link
So like Segel's The Muppets, basically.

AMAIZA FOXTRAIN is expanded universe i.e. not in any films. Like "Tiberius".

I will miss the fanfare, but I will not miss this movie. Very excited that anyone who grew up on SW will be directing SW.
Plus, they're sequels. It's not like he's remaking Holy Mountain or something.
