Star Wars 7 shit talk

it's cool that Reel 2 Real is writing the casting calls for this

So they're going with a cast primarily composed of good-looking young people, you say...

Finally, a guy aged around seventy, strong opinions and tough.

crazy that they're actually having a casting session for han solo

obviously physically fit

lol s1ocki i thought the same thing

maybe they are going for an ensemble like this!

god i love that movie

what do you mean "like this"? There's your cast.

doogie-doogie howser

Finally, a guy aged around seventy, strong opinions and tough.

So, this maybe implies Ford won't return for this movie, right? I don't think they'd have a third old mentor figure besides Luke and Han... Unless the old dude is the bad guy.

who knows, it could be like, the hero(ine)'s dad or something

Finally, a guy aged around seventy, strong opinions and tough.

Calling it now. It's the "That's so wizard, Annie" guy.

I'm not gonna lie to you, there's already an "Expanded Universe" novel, Tatooine Ghost, in which that dude plays a major role:

. . . Han and Leia embark on a journey through Tatooine in order to retrieve the art piece, battling the Imperial forces and Tusken Raiders with the help of Jawas and a Squib trio, Emala, Sligh and Grees. During their voyage, Leia finds out more about her late father's past, and runs into Anakin's old friend, Kitster Banai, who reveals to her what her father was like before he left Tatooine under the guidance of the late Qui-Gon Jinn. Leia also retrieves a holojournal recorded by Shmi, revealing details of her life in between Anakin's departure from Tatooine to his return to his home planet. After Leia saves Han from being dehydrated and lost in Tatooine's vast, dry desert, it is implied that they sleep together, which would indicate that this tryst was what led to the conception of their children, Jaina and Jacen.

Not surprised in the slightest.

Thank you for not judging me for knowing about it.

For I am deeply ashamed.

we judged you long ago for far less, lol :)

;_;

A young man aged between 20 and 25, witty and smart, fit but not classically handsome,
Man in late twenties, also fit, but this one is handsome and confident.
And Captain Lando Tucker, a dedicated young man with no characteristics.

to what extent is Lucas involved this time round?

holding out hope for Darth Icky

Thank you for not judging me for knowing about it.
I was being charitable and assumed you Googled it.

For I am deeply ashamed.
As you should be.

to what extent is Lucas involved this time round?
IIRC, he may have handed off an outline. Other than that, not at all. He sold his toys and went home.

ah right thanks.

only gonna see this if billy dee and harrison are in it, maybe if carrie fisher (but only if she plays herself).

read that wrong

hee

Cinematographer Dan Mindel ASC, BSC will be reteaming with JJ Abrams to shoot Star Wars Episode VII. That comes as no surprise as Mindel worked with Abrams on the Star Trek films and Mission: Impossible III. The big news is that Mindel says that Episode 7 will be shot on Kodak film stock 5219 film, NOT digital cameras like the last couple prequel movies. The Phantom Menace was the last Star Wars film to be shot with film cameras (although some trivia fanatics will note, the movie did include a digitally photographed shot).

I imagine that trivia fanatics are the only real fans of the Phantom Menace

oh man i hope they're just doing that to troll george lucas

maximum troll would be a ton of practical effects

would watch Star Wars as creature-shopped by Guillermo del Toro.

yeah, a lot of the stuff around this movie is a repudiation of the prequels. that doesn't mean the new ones are any good, but there's definitely a sense of deliberate palate-cleansing

wonder if lucas sits in his mansion and sulks about this

no wait he's working on the "experimental" movies he's promised us for decades*

*would genuinely blow my mind if lucas came out with some $1,000,000 expanded cinema frampton-meets-brakhage-meets-tscherkassky experimental nonnarrative IMAX feature.

are will be any good

(Don't know if it really belong here, anyone have JJ Abrams' email address?)

i hate that genre of youtubes. even when i sort of agree with them. i watched that for 0:48 and then couldn't handle dude any more.

TL;DW

Sure, that's fair - I just really like the way that he fixes stuff while still using 80% of what was actually shot, and without ever not being really corny, like he's not about establishing Intriguing Psychological Depth or Realistic Social Structures, he's about making a Star Wars movie.

i'm sure his ideas are good I just can't get past the presentation

also i don't really care about star wars!

Hello.

A long time in the future, in a cinema far, far away...
*fanfare starts*
STAR WARS NERD RAGE

Just get me to the point where I'm buying extra-large sodas fron taco bell. That's just where I want to be in these procedings.

Extra Large Yoda Soda - May the Force(tm) (of sugar and/or HFCS laden beverages gushing out of your bladder) be with you, always!

don't know the source on this but

Todd Dadslayer ‏@SRN_lol 22m
the new Star Wars movie is auditioning teens in case you thought somehow the new flicks were going to be better than the Jarjar ones

Todd Dadslayer ‏@SRN_lol 19m
"street smart, independent, athletic" teens for the main roles in Star Wars. haha

Yeah that'll definitely be a lot worse than Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher who were 20 and 21 when "Star Wars" filmed wtf are they thinking franchise ruined BURRRRRRRRP

this is the source

Ah, so the person who tweeted that is a moron, since they are in fact looking for people in the approximate age range that Fisher and Hamill were in when they were cast.
