Star Wars 7 shit talk

This just in from the Star Wars front: Episode VII has cast 12 Years a Slave Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o and Game of Thrones’ Gwendoline Christie. From the studio:

Lupita Nyong’o joins the recently announced cast of Star Wars: Episode VII. This year, her breakthrough performance in 12 Years a Slave earned her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Gwendoline Christie, currently starring in the hit television series Game of Thrones as Brienne of Tarth, has also been cast in the production. She can next be seen in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2. “I could not be more excited about Lupita and Gwendoline joining the cast of Episode VII,” says Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. “It’s thrilling to see this extraordinarily talented ensemble taking shape.”

goddamnit JJ don't you get my hopes up and fuck this up

must

remain

cynical

You could place bets now as to how many minutes of screentime til he does the Mystery Box twist reveal

Yeah I was thinking to myself "Sure, they're cast, and then they'll have as much screen time as Jimmy Smits in Episode II."

master jedis played by greg grunberg and matthew fox.

haha

lol

How exciting space stuff in a dusty desert. There are other planets in the Star Wars universe right?

no

swamp planet, desert planet, forest planet, that's it

star wars catan, basically

forest moon, come on man

let's go back to Gwendoline Christie and Lupita Nyong'o being in this and how that excuses pretty much any stupid thing that will invariably be in this movie

"And let us introduce the new ambassador, Jar Jar Binks the Third."

they're doing vocodered droid voices

yah i have an idea, jj should really shake things up and do a planet that's half UNDERWATER and half ABOVE WATER and the cultures that occupy these two worlds have a SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP

can't wait for the young hip unorthodox Jedi introduced during a speeder race, blasting "shamrocks and shenanigans" by house of pain.

space mermaids!

star wars is way more about desert planets to me than it is about the megacities of the prequels

if Jar Jar had been a double-headed character played by Gwendoline Christie and Lupita Nyong'o, s/he would have been the best character ever created in the Star Wars universe

Yeah but surely there can be a planet that is a desert but the sand is grey or pale blue or something, and the sky is red or whatever. Pick up any random sci fi pulp paperback and just rip that off.

kinda feels more realistic for lack of a better term, like that civilization would expand out to these weird pioneer old west type settlements.

desert planets and saloon fights

So cool they've decided to remake A New Hope

Seriously. Hope the MF is just gathering dust under a tarp in Chewbacca's garage or something.

Actually, I kinda hope the movie involves a search to find the MF, a la the missing P-Funk mothership in Maryland.

Han Sodeep

fucking lens flare again

and Josh Trank to direct the second spinoff movie. They're definitely going for a 'type' with these

how do you mean

get JiC in here

dudes who made a splash with a geek friendly low budget pic then went straight to a big franchise blockbuster

Lupita Nyong'o's casting in SW7 reminds of jennifer lawrence -- you win awards and accolades for doing a stellar job with a serious role in a great fucking movie, and your success gets you ...... some bullshit role in a dumbass blockbuster action sci/fi movie

ie every American/Brit screen actor's "breakthrough" is gen the last time I like them

Well, to be fair, it's probably pretty hard to turn down the huge money. Not to mention that with the Star Wars and Hunger Games being franchises, they get locked into guaranteed multiple picture deals. I don't blame either of 'em. It's not like Lawrence isn't still getting David O. Russell roles. Too early to see what effect it'll have on Nyong'o's career.
