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.

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

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

Ben Burtt is in

to feature a cast member of Ingmar Bergman

is anyone really excited that andy serkis is gonna be in this... lemme guess... he's gonna play a crazy CGI feller!!!

He plays himself.

Russell Brand confirmed as some kind of talking moon.

I actually thought Russell Brand and Noel Fielding were the same person for the longest time.

ina shocking move NO CGI - how I wish

Will Star Wars: Episode 7 be the first $3bn movie?

http://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2014/may/02/star-wars-epidode-vii-box-office-film

what a thrilling prospect.

you can help make it happen!

please don't

why not?

Thinkpieces be pointing out that the cast is boy-heavy. Highlight of the prequels was obv Portman's pointed "This is how liberty dies," so maybe this will be a further regression. Foe Episode VIII they can try to get Dubya and Obomber to play the imperial fucks.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2014/04/30/star_wars_episode_7_cast_list_where_are_the_women.html

Highlight of the prequels was Vader's "Nooooo!" and subsequent Frankenstein's monster force rampage. Which should have happened halfway through the second movie.

highlight of the prequels was "you don't want to sell me death sticka; you want to go home and rethink your life"
