Star Wars 7 shit talk

good options:
1) the whole movie is just a text scroll
2) halfway through the scroll, there's a needle-scratching-the-record noise and a bunch of jawas wobble through the frame, movie starts
3) text scroll says, in its entirety, "awwwwwwwww YEAH STAR WARS BITCH"

they recycled some bit of john williams fanfare to replace the 20th century fox intro

maybe the text scroll will inexorably crush jar jar to death

i'm counting on jj abrams to do something lame but i guess at least SW isn't sharing the same universe with earth so there won't be scenes of drunk han in a bar listening to beastie boys

or whatever the hell happened in chris pine star trek

there's a character called Ello Atsy

no joke

Again, I don't know how much money I'd pay Abrams to drop a Beastie Boys song into the new Star Wars movie, but it's a lot of money.

OH: an extended Jar Jar dance number set to a Beastie Boys song. Please. Please.

The chances that the name "Ello Asty" is going to be spoken on-screen are approximately one in a kazillion.

Many/most of the names we "know" for characters in the OT were never spoken on screen.

I have some recollection of Klaatu, Barada, and Nikto being addressed onscreen by name at some point.

Some other Episode VII character names that have recently leaked:

Shakya Rupp
Chichak Eetout
Fyte-Fyar Ayt'parti
Pols Batik
Sah Botaj
Heart Attack Man
Sawitcha-Wunt

kinda cheezy to go back to that "force" well

in other news, is anyone buying their ticket tonight?

i think i will just be a regular person & buy a ticket at the theater

There is a particular audience that I'm sure will happily flock to the screenings of Episode VII which require them to purchase their ticket months in advance. I do not want to attend those particular screenings.

My kid has been being me to take him to this ever since I mentioned that I did the same thing for Phantom Menace. I'm a little bummed that I have to try and execute an Internet ticket transaction late at night and I have to watch a goddamn football game to get the cue about when I'm able to but them.

Buy them.

but them, definitely but them

:)

text crawl is obviously 100%, but i'm still weighing the odds on whether it will be preceded by a black screen with sylvester stallone's voice declaring "let's do this."

i have to go out for dinner, do you think it'll be ok to shush the whole restaurant when the trailer comes on MNF?

most definitely

frankly, what kind of respectable establishment wouldn't demand silence from its patrons in that scenario?

any respectable establishment

well I just rang Le Bernardin to check and they said they're shutting down service for the duration

if anyone plays this in my presence I'll probably just loudly talk over it

that's the spirit! crush that childlike sense of joy!

Joy is ®™ Disney Corp, of course

joy hasn't been a component of this cultural juggernaut for at least 3 decades

keep grinding that axe

btw guys Star Wars Rebels is still pretty joyful

i bet it's gonna be a hit

Love Han Solo going from "ancient weapons and hokey religions" to "the dark side, the Jedi, it's all true."

lotta ppl find religion right before they die

he did witness a lot of wonky shit

I always felt bad that the droids had to ride in the rumble seat in the X-Wing. The trend continues when BB-8 tags along with Llewyn Davis.

Han and Leia in sad hug as troops look on followed by a Falcon in flames about to crash into something = Bye Han (and Chewie)? Looks good. Still too much. damn. lensflare. Abrams haha

oh wait - I got those scenes reversed. Rewatch!

i am going to watch this in a movie theater

I'm gonna call it right now - the biggest problem with this movie will be the filler. A pronlem shared by certain Star Wars remakes and epic films like The Hobbit part 3.

How about issue number one being, I don't know, lack of a protagonist?

A hot mess

it cant help feel melancholy like now the other movies are just some other things that happened. all those times i dreamed about the future or past of the Star Wars universe as a kid are being overwritten by these official sequels and prequels. maybe han saying "It all happened" is a little too on the nose for me.

its not going to live up to the hype but will do a lot of things technically right and people will love it cos at least its not the godawful sequels. the main bad guy's voice in this trailer is pretty rough, i hope it sounds better in the movie.
