Star Wars 7 shit talk

sheev mike

Is there a favorite wookieepedia facts thread? I enjoyed this from their R5-series article:

Because of their inexpensive construction, however, droids of this series were plagued by a number of design flaws—most obviously, a sullen demeanor and sharp attitude resulting from deficiencies in the machine's personality matrix. Media outlets soon picked up on these errors: Mechtech Illustrated called the R5 model "a meter-tall stack of the worst business decisions you could possibly want."

ok so this has *wrapped* already.

"The Force Awakens"

:/

Star Wars Episode IX: The Force A-seepins

Better than "The Phantom Menace" at least.

Better than "The Phantom Menace" at least.

Is it? I mean "The Phantom Menace" was a crummy movie, but the title is decent. "The Force Awakens" is like some SW fan board speculation shit.

weirdly psyched, but I expect the series won't really get into gear until Star Wars Episode VIII: The Force Finishes Its Coffee

At least they haven't gone with EPISODE VII dominating the title. Yet.

"uh oh, episode seven! the force awakens!" - cool dads welcoming their kids to the breakfast table in 2015

"uh oh, episode two! attack of the clones!" - cool dads getting woken up by their screaming twins in 2002

I was gonna make a morning wood joke

You're thinking of the Schwartz.

"Uh Oh, Episode IV, A New Hope!" Cool dads trying in vain to forestall a divorce in 1977.

anybody calling star wars "episode iv a new hope" in 1977 wasn't cool

Given that he would've had to be a psychic, I'd say he was pretty cool.

The 1980 sequel, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, featured the episode number and subtitle in the opening crawl. When the original film was re-released on April 10, 1981, Episode IV: A New Hope was added above the original opening crawl.

I feel dirty.

i feel better for not knowing that phrase wasn't even in the crawl

old lunch is a jaymc sock?

I don't even care all that much about Star Wars and that's far from the nerdiest trivia I know about the franchise. Gah.

jaymc is way too cool to slum it as me. Come on, dude.

Cool dads in 1982 when the British navy was sent to reclaim the Falklands: "Uh oh, Episode IV, The Empire Strikes Back!"

"The Force Awakens"? JJ Abrams? Let's just move on from this one already.

i'm going to give it a chance bc some non-lucas journeymen hacks directed a pair of excellent SW films, but the problem with abrams is he's a hack who thinks he's an auteur and has somehow been given the power of one.

Yeah, you can The Force Awaken me when Rian Johnson's comes out

i think this title is v. stupid but i guess it's tradition to give these things embarrassing names now

It's arguably a better name than "Phantom Menace"

Shit Wars

the phantom menace
attack of the clones
revenge of the sith
a new hope
the empire strikes back
return of the jedi
the force awakens

i feel like we're missing an event between the jedi returning and the force awakening. specifically when the force went to bed after the jedi returned

like star wars vii should be "hey isn't that the dude from girls LOOK OUT" and then the force awakens in viii

Maybe the whole movie is framed flashback.

Luke Jr: Daddy, where did the force come from?
Middle-aged Luke: Well son, I'll tell ya...

When a midichlorian loves another midichlorian very much...

Haha.

but the problem with abrams is he's a hack who thinks he's an auteur and has somehow been given the power of one.

This is LHC accurate everyone please read again.

APPARENTLY it will be called Episode VII in the opening crawl but that is NOT part of the official title

guess Disney are trying to get away from episode numbers due to infinite spinoffs

APPARENTLY it will be called Episode VII in the opening crawl but that is NOT part of the official title

How wonderful to live in a cultural landscape in which sentences such as this make even the slightest bit of sense.

Spinoffs/standalones to be given things like "Episode 7.5: That Han Solo Jawn"

It could have been almost any one of these titles and I would have been happier.
