Star Wars 7 shit talk

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

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.

surely the best way to view them is

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

4,5,2,3,6

5

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

4,5,2,3,6

only one of 1-3 worth watching

Maybe don't bother with 2 even.

xposts

xp i dunno man, i think i'm gonna be okay going down that lonesome road without it

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

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

I hope they have murderbears in #7:

haha, if only it was this.

he really looks like a drawing.

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.

this is like picking sweet corn nibs out of vomit.

Don't knock it 'till you've tried it

i meant in a good way.

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.

people sitting and talking in the massive yet empty living rooms of the future

A long time ago a living room door far, far away.

if Adam Driver takes this role my desire to flip him to the path of the inverts will decrease by approximately 77%

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.

The answer to this is officially http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_The_Clone_Wars_%28film%29

While Disney chairman Alan Horn remained mostly tight lipped during an interview at the Loyola Marymount School of Film and Television in Los Angeles, he did let it slip that “Star Wars Episode VII” has already begun shooting and has much of its cast.

“We have a lot of them, it’s not completely done yet,” Horn responded when asked about casting, noting it as the most difficult part of putting the highly anticipated film together.

As J.J. Abrams prefers to keep details under wraps for most of his films, Horn declined to reveal any names. Variety, however, learned in February that “Girls” actor Adam Driver is in talks to play the villain. Actors being considered for the lead role include Ed Speleers, John Boyega, Jesse Plemons, Matthew James Thomas and Ray Fisher.

“We’re actually shooting some of it now,” Horn said, despite previous comments that filming would start next month. The chairman could have been referring to getting B-roll and location shots without having the cast on set, but he didn’t divulge any information beyond that.

The script, co-written by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams after an early draft by “Toy Story 3″ scribe Michael Arndt, was also a challenge, according to Horn. On all other details, though, Horn channeled his inner Yoda to advise those awaiting more news: “Patience, you must have.”

“Star Wars: Episode VII” is produced by Abrams, his Bad Robot partner Bryan Burk and Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy. It’s set to hit theaters Dec. 18, 2015.

adam driver's career path is confusing as hell

Jesse Plemons? TODD?!?

plemons would be perfect for this

If they do cast Plemons and Driver this will definitely be up there as the ugliest SW cast ever.

The script, co-written by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams after an early draft by “Toy Story 3″ scribe Michael Arndt..

come on that sounds pretty good on paper.

Jesse Plemons? TODD?!?LANDRY?!?

I thought you all mean Todd off Community. That's a weird lookin motherfucker.

They should cast the whole movie with Friday Night Lights alumni. Matt Saracen as the callow Jedi apprentice. Tim Riggins as the roguish Han Solo type. Buddy Garrity as Jabba the Hutt.

plemons would be perfect for this

yeah i think it'd be pretty good. also, "ugliest SW cast ever" is a good thing, imo.

I hope they have a kick-ass lady Jedi in this.

There's only one female Jedi in all the six films, and you basically just see her get shot in the back by stormtroopers.

why does ladies never want to jedi?

Funny, I'm not even close to being a trekkie and I remember at least 5 (albeit in appallingly small roles)

I didn't know Star Trek had Jedis too!

NEVER FORGET

Oops stand corrected. But none of them have any actual lines or anything right?

I don't recall, but I don't think so. They're all pretty major characters in the Expanded Universe stuff. The first two, particularly, have gigantic story arcs in the Clone Wars cartoon series.

There's also this one, who had a death scene filmed two different ways, and both ended up on the cutting room floor, for Episode III.

(In the other version Anakin kills her during his raid on the Jedi temple.]

what the fuck is that yoda with a wig

the Star Wars wiki never fails to perplex and horrify

Yaddle, also known as "The One Below", was a renowned Jedi Master, who went on to serve the Jedi High Council for over a century before her death in 26 BBY during a peacekeeping mission to Mawan. A member of the same species as fellow Councilor Yoda, but about half his age, Yaddle trained dozens of Padawans in her time as a Jedi Master, including Oppo Rancisis, who would later join Yaddle on the Jedi Council, and the brash and overconfident Empatojayos Brand. After completing Brand's training, Yaddle did not take another apprentice, as she was almost five hundred years old when Brand passed the Jedi Trials for Knighthood.
