Star Wars 7 shit talk

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.

def gon be a ton of filler and fan service

oh please

btw guys Star Wars Rebels is still pretty joyful

Rewatched Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars cartoons last week, joy is a pretty big component there too.

If there was going to be a ton of fan service, wouldn't they have, y'know, stuck some in a trailer?

The tone def. seems smart - one of the best aspects of the original series was finding out all this forgotten stuff along with Luke, seeing him working up his skills so that when in the third he can actually deflect laser blasts it's all kinds of awesome. Vs "So these two Jedi (out of hundreds) walk into a trade negotiation" - a definite case of "fans are convinced that they want to see something that they don't actually want to see".

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

That's Greek for white dude, right?

based on his conspicuous absence i'm guessing luke is going to get killed or turn evil

i hope not tho, we need an old force sage

Enjoyed the 0.3 seconds of Carrie Fisher. Luke is presumably the gloved figure touching R2 in that one shot. This is going to run about 165 minutes.

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

Ya didn't figure out by the end of the first movie that his "arc" was Bogey in Casablanca, huh?

Luke won't turn evil unless Harper Lee did some script doctoring

also wtf is that unintelligible whisper that ends the v/o?

yeah the hand is such a tease tho. mb they're building up to luke's entrance, but the former main character not showing up properly is an Interesting Choice at least

Not to get all Zapruder Film here but are there clues that Luke is even going to be in this? Otherwise, he's in the next movie.

Clue is Mark Hamill's name on the credits?

we heard his voice. who scavenged vader's helmet from the funeral pyre? seems like a strange thing for luke to do

OK! (you can guess how much I've been paying attention to this)
