Star Wars 7 shit talk

Also, corny fuxx alert here, the thought of being able to experience a new Star Wars film in the theaters for the first time with my son is pretty cool. Even if it does suck. He's already really into the few Star Wars books he's gotten and can name most of the characters (Chewbacca and Boba Fett are his faves, fwiw).

Think about how shitty it'll be on the day when this thread is bumped for actual Star Wars 7 footage.

I remember the first time I watched all three of these post-prequels, and there was a point in ROTJ where Luke was talking to Leia and I realized the past 30 minutes were basically a crummy episode of Care Bears followed by a soap opera.

Star Wars always should have been a James Bond-style director-hopping series. Unfortunately The Holiday Special put that to rest. So blame drugs.

Moonraker directed by David Lynch would have been something

The question might have been asked before, but how does kids watch Star Wars these days? From part one? That way you ruin the twist of part five, and well, pretty much everything in four-six. Or in chronological order? Which at this point would include weird inserts form Coruscant and other places you've never heard about, as well as other 'call-backs' to stuff they haven't seen.

my daughter (6yo) watched Star Wars (ep IV ugh I hate even having to specify this). she hasn't shown much interest in watching the others.

For my son, we watched 4-6, then it wasn't in my plans to show him the prequels at all, but my wife bought them for him because he was so into it. No idea how my daughter's gonna get into this whole mess.

how's life, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 23:06 (ten years ago) link

My son is only 2 so he's got some time before watching the films (obviously we won't be seeing the first new one in the theaters with him), but I'm hoping to start with 4-6. Kinda why I'm hoping somehow Disney/Lucas lets out the original versions in the next few years.

He's actually really into Star Wars already, although I honestly haven't tried pushing it on him (a lot of my relatives seem to think that since I loved Star Wars as a kid that they must buy him Star wars stuff too though, so he has quite a few things). He does keep pulling out these Star Wars A-B-C and 1-2-3 board books and naming all the characters though.

i dont have any special hopes for this, it'd be cool if it was good but if not whatever, but i am definitely curious what its going to look like and what angle they'll take

AIDS (Hungry4Ass), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 23:23 (ten years ago) link

am pretty sure this will follow the same pattern of "trailer that gets you excited , movie is ultimately disappointing" that every one of these summer event movies has followed for the past couple of years (with a few exceptions of course)

Shakey, you will probably be happier if you stop reading and posting on this thread.

Yeah that's totally your aim here.

Yeah basically I'm hoping for cool space battles filmed with miniature plastic models filmed on 35mm... and tha'ts it

This thread has become a place for those genuinely curious and, maybe, cautiously optimistic about the new films to speculate and share tidbits. Somebody periodically popping up with LOL THEY ARE GOING TO BE SHIT YOU ARE ALL CORPORATE SHILLS is just annoying tbh.

yeah, I am certainly looking forward to seeing the trailer for this and later reading the wikipedia synopsis

I'm hoping to start with 4-6. Kinda why I'm hoping somehow Disney/Lucas lets out the original versions in the next few years.

is it really gonna matter that much? if they release any version whatsoever of the OG trilogy into actual movie theaters i am going, and i am taking my kids, i don't give a shit if darth's helmet looks shinier or whatever the fuck

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 26 February 2014 14:48 (ten years ago) link

I read a blog post positing that the best way to view them (apart from ignoring the prequels altogether obv) would be 1,4,2,5,6. That way the Vader paternity twist remains a surprise.

I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Wednesday, 26 February 2014 14:59 (ten years ago) link

surely the best way to view them is

4,5, half of 6 and then you discover sex and heavy metal

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 26 February 2014 15:22 (ten years ago) link

4,5,2,3,6

ep iv - i do not remember a time when this didn't exist and when i did not own at least one pillow case and one action figure
ep v - remember going to this in the theaters with a family friend and having it be the most important experience of my life
ep vi - prob saw this like seven times in theaters
ep i - waited in line for opening preshow with other nerds, forced myself to pretend to like it enough to justify all the still-in-box next gen figures in my dorm
ep ii - watched the first half on video and ffwd through the rest, can't remember anything about it except it was really really stupid
ep iii - never saw it, am okay with this

It has a sense that there is important stuff at stake which obviously sets it head and shoulders over the other two dramatically. Still populated with cardboard characters delivering awful dialogue though.

agree that 3 is the only partial keeper of the new batch

with tracer on the ideal viewing order

thuggish ruggish brony (contenderizer), Wednesday, 26 February 2014 16:15 (ten years ago) link

best order: 4, 5, 6. If the kids want to see the prequels they can buy 'em themselves.

3 is the best of the prequels but 2 has some surprisingly solid moments, all of them involving obi-wan when he's on his own. but the worst parts of that film are the worst parts of the entire series.

i meant in a good way.

socki (s1ocki), Wednesday, 26 February 2014 21:40 (ten years ago) link

The Red Letter take down of the prequels lack of solid characterization - the inability to describe a character without simply describing the person playing him - was totally on the money and remains why the movies play like utter nothing, or why even in terms of plot the first of the prequels can be ignored entirely. It's just people doing things.
