Star Wars 7 shit talk

interesting that Lucas isn't.

he's hiding in the r2d2

yeah i was unecessarily aggro with my "shut the fuck up", but shakey's got absolutely nothing new to add to his "lol you guys are suckers" schtick at this point. and hey, this is very likely going to 98% garbage, but i have a 2 1/2 year-old that is already wide-eyed with glee at the previews for the new Disney animated series and the thought of experiencing one of these flicks in the theater with him, no matter how garbage, has me pretty excited. forgive me for offending everyone's superior taste tho.

Episode 7 prequel:

haha

Pretty sure everyone here has already seen the prequels, realized they aren't 7 years old, and the most starry eyed fanboy has written off Star Wars at least a decade ago.

Let's not lose track of the fact that George Lucas not writing dialog already means these flicks will automatically be 12% more watchable than the prequels.

Fwiw i was so burned by "The Phantom Menace" that I avoided seeing the other 2 until they were in the dollar theater. And at $1, "Attack of the Clones" is actually a riot.

this will of course be "better" than the prequels but since it won't be the totally uncompromised auteurist daydreams of a stunted hack with infinite money it will just be meaningless candy instead of one of the most singular cinematic artifacts ever. fuck competence imo

My son is going to be 7 when this is released. Looking forward to this specifically because of that fact.

not that there's anything wrong w candy it's just that attack of the clones is forever.

^^^ otm, mine will be too young for the first one still, but Episode 8 should be really fun.

(xpost)

think I'm gonna do a rewatch of the OG's soon

I'm feeling the love

just puttin the shit in shit talk fellas

Star Wars is kind of like Christmas in that it's this thing that you really, really liked as a kid but becomes this lame and ridiculous thing as an adult that you kind of feel forced to participate in, but then suddenly you have kids and it becomes something you look forward to, despite all the commercial crassness and cheap plastic toys

I hope Max Von Sydow plays a kind, wise man who turns out to be evil in the third act

Is Chewie going to be all grey-furred?

who are those geezers in the chairs *behind* the readthrough?

mark hamill spilled something all over himself didn't he

odd, dude on the left facing camera looks like hamill a bit too

would be dope if all episode 7 trailers/promo materials were in full color then the whole film is in black and white

who are those geezers in the chairs *behind* the readthrough?

the sons and daughters of some very well-connected people

nevermind wrong guy

Gleeson's probably a Skywalker.

cool i didn't know camille paglia posted here

strange they didn't cast all three John Glenn Singers, but I guess Timbo is too Hayden Christensen.

another thing this movie won't be as good as is madonna

guys... what if this is really good
what do we do then

is that a Fanboys quote? God, that movie

Man I don't know what to call it, but it is really something that Morbs has seen Fanboys and I never have.

Spoiler alert: It was terrible.

I 'had to' review it. It does have one great H Ford joke in it.

lol, that is not a quote
it's a sentiment

spoiler -- last line of Fanboys (its other good joke) is, as The Phantom Menace begins to screen, is

"What if this movie sucks?"

Is Kenny Baker in the R2D2 suit, in the box? HARSH

First movie is going to be all about restoring the economy and Luke applying for payday loans.

That will still be better than the racist Trade Federation bullshit.

why think up alien cultures when you can just use handy-dandy racist stereotypes

Its a Harry potter crossover!!! win!!

Harry Potter and the Phantom Menace

third Star Wars film to feature a cast member of Ingmar Bergman and Bille August's The Best Intentions

Andy Serkis, Oscar Isaac, and MvS casting make me curious. I hope they get Ben Burtt to do the sound design again. He did Wall-E so he's good with Disney, right?

Can't even countenance the prospect of them fucking up the sound design, every other area of the franchise has been tarnished over the years but even in the prequels the sounds were just amazing throughout (I think? Been a good long while since I've seen them). Certainly I remember in the third prequel there was the shriek of that monster thing that Obi-Wan was riding 'round for a while (or was that in the arena in the second?) and this weird gong-like noise that the artillery batteries were making in that space battle at the start. God if they fuck up the sound design then they're really in trouble
