Star Wars 7 shit talk

xp: can we start the noms list for best tracks of 2016 yet?

http://io9.gizmodo.com/the-best-star-wars-books-are-the-x-wing-novels-fight-m-1745753570

since I've posted so many horrible guilty Star Wars confessions above I will admit to this here:
I read (well, re-read, but it's been over 15 years) this entire series between Christmas and January 1

...

Are you planning to patent the device you used to stop time, or was it just like a one-off thing you utilized for this particular endeavor?

hah

I was briefly transported back to the days of the late 90s when reading a Star Wars book or five sounded like a good idea. They're quick reads, I swear.

oh good the two guys who haven't seen the new movie are bitching about it again, this will be worth reading

silly fools with your spaceships, we should be watching adult things like football, where a bunch of people run into each other for several hours chasing a ball. the pagentry of it all.

oh i'll be watching more Star Wars in the future than that fascist brain-damaging horseshit

i don't mind SW nearly as much as the fans, kinda like Springsteen ands Jesus.

*as i do the fans

I try to never let the fans of things I enjoy get to me, no matter how hard they occasionally seem to be going out of their way to get to me.

"i don't mind SW nearly as much as the fans" actually works, though

Yeah, really deep SW fans seem to be filled with nothing but bile for the actual product.

a star wars of the mind

Was just rewatching some clips of EpIV and marveling at how perfect the rhythm of the editing is in the death star attack sequence, it's like music.

i need to see one of these Specialized Editions.

is Harmy's any good?

doooooh wrong thread

Harmy's is the one you're looking for

http://variety.com/2016/film/news/star-wars-han-solo-spinoff-actors-1201675519/

Sources tell Variety that after seeing thousands of actors, execs have cut the list down to about a dozen actors with Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Dave Franco, Jack Reynor, Scott Eastwood, Logan Lerman, “Brooklyn” star Emory Cohen and “Everybody Wants Some” actor Blake Jenner among the names making the cut.

Nah. But then again I was hating on Adam Driver appearing in VII and he was very good.

we should be watching adult things like football,

pay better attention

Get Οὖτ of this thread.

I am here to talk shit, per the thread title

he's got you there chewsh

talk shit about the movie, not the fact that there is a movie, imo

thread is a big tent

I'm not spending my hard-earned kopecks on this sorry

(and mh actually has 247 now)

of all the star wars "tales" they've proposed, the young han solo one sounds the worst idea.

yeah. It's got some talent behind the camera though at least

Miles Teller would be a nauseating choice though.

Han Drum Solo has likely been said somewhere already

xp he's the least terrible actor on that list.

With the directors of 21 Jump Street and the Lego movie at the helm not sure it matters.

^ o rly? now that's three upcoming Star War movies I want to see :(

talk shit about the movie, not the fact that there is a movie, imo

when did this thread start, again?

wait the han solo one is about a ~young~ han solo? i thought it was gonna be a "what was han up to before the force awakens" movie

isn't he in his 20s/30s in a new hope? how much younger are they going here

crazy people

"I swear I'll change, baby. Just take me back. No more Jar Jars, I promise."

Ford was 35 or so when they shot SW

Ansel Elgort
Jack Reynor
Logan Lerman
Blake Jenner
None of these names meant anything to me, after a skirt through IMDB they all seem pretty much diametrically opposed to Harrison Ford. Like, these all seem Zack Efron types. Maybe I'm being hastily judgemental here.
Scott Eastwood
Don't really know him either, except that I just watched Diablo; he was bad(meaningbad) in it.
Miles Teller
Actually quite like him, cannae really see him as Han Solo though.
Emory Cohen
He's good, again not convinced he'd fit the role.
Dave Franco
PLEASE GOD NO.

No idea who I would cast honestly, if that's the age bracket we're going for. Need someone reasonably scuzzy.

Michael Angarano maybe. But no one seems to rate him as much as me.

If I could just throw out a casting suggestion of my own real quick

agree with the Big Trouble in LIttle China angle discussed here

yeah if they have to make this film, a light, fun, portent-free adventure/heist/caper/scrape picture is pretty much the only way to do it. i mean the whole thing w his character arc in star wars is that anything set before that *can't* be him doing anything especially heroic or saving the galaxy from the sith or whatever. just like, some situation han solo gets into. dunno how much movie you can really get out of a guy starting an asshole and staying an asshole though. feels like they'll either screw star wars by making him a hero, or doing some dumb thing like he starts out with hopes and dreams but the events of the movie (likely to include death of love interest or her ending up w someone else) lead him to adopt his tough cynical demeanor (and in the last scene, the local smuggler bandit he's been battling says 'you got moxie, kid,' and hands him a certain familiar jacket....)....

really though, i feel like 'ant man' or sth like that is more likely to be the template in tone/feel than BTILC sadly. but let's not kid ourselves, this doesn't exactly promise to be a great star wars movie. thinking of RLM's observation near the end of the ROTS review that han solo not being ruined (''we never had to have THAT scene. you know the one.'') was one of the few things you could be glad about from the prequels.
