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.

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

I watched one of them when it came on TV back in the 80s and it scared me too much to make it through. An Ewok gets killed or something? A scary monster? I don't know. I had been waiting to watch it for weeks but I couldn't hack.

i loved that rumor about how after harrison hurt his foot jj and company pleaded with disney for more time so they could really do the series justice and disney was like "we give zero fucks if you do the series justice" because no one there actually cares about this property

between marvel and pixar and their own shit this is just some geek business guaranteed to pump up the bottom line even if it's garbage as proven by the prequels

As far as the Walt Disney Corporation is concerned, a plea for something that will do justice to the Star Wars property is probably on par with a plea by a Disney Store regional manager for an increase in man hours to ensure that the window displays are exquisite.

I'm expecting about 60% "You're pushing all the right buttons for this old timer, JJ" and 40% "Now why'd he have to go and do that obvious move aimed at the Millenials" from this film. With it skewing more and more toward the latter response as the series continues.
