Since it's Celebration time......

What are your thoughts on the new trailer and upcoming film?

I wasn't all that interested in a disney star wars movie initally...

Looks like it could be pretty good. My main interest is how they use the original cast.

One thing about the Star War's prequels that always bothered me a bit was that because episodes 1-3 were made 20+ years after 4-6, it made the technology appear to have regressed over time. Kind of like having smart phones and hybrids then K-Cars & 8 tracks 20 years later. I guess now they can kind of go wild with that in this episode since it is set in a later time.

BB8 will wreck Christmas 2015. I went full nerd today and watched the panel. That little beach ball ***** is amazing looking.

How come the black dude is sweating and breathing hard in every shot? Even in the first trailer. What's up with that?

Looks good. Never really got into Sci Fi much. Sucks Leonard Nimoy isn't around to make a special appearance.

This has to be a joke, right? Did you forget the sarcasterisks?

That will be my son's first trip to the cinema (age 4).
Mine was Return of the Jedi.

Sacrelige!!!! Burn him at the stake!!

 

[Lee Corso]

Gonna be very good...

... Like the marooned Star Destroyer ship.

Sir Patrick Stewart's still kickin'. Hopefully they got him involved and are just keeping it a secret. Granted, they'll have to do some CGI work with him confined to a wheel chair these days, or at least explain it with plot. Star Wars just wouldn't be the same without Professor Picard.*****

 

[TBone.sixpack]

It looks great to me.

 

[preacher_dawg]

Wow, my twin sons will be born around August, a great football season for State, hopefully a good basketball season, and now this!!

 

[drail14me]

I remember watching Star Wars on opening night in Starkville at the State Theater. It was a sold out crowd and I had to sit on the floor in the front row. At 7 years old, I was absolutely amazed and hooked!!! The prequels and the edited special editions ruined it for me but now I have hope again. Hopefully J.J. can bring back the old Star Wars!!

One thing that jumped out at me. Luke is talking about the Force in the family. He says "My Father HAS is..." Has? Shouldn't that be "had" or am I reading too much into that?

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Wait, is that Luke narrating? I guess I didn't recognize Hamill's (sp?) voice.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

When Star Wars 1 came out in 1999, my son was 4 years old. His favorite character was Jar Jar Binks. I still ridicule him about that to this day.

Keep your expectations low and you will probably enjoy it. Unless we all get "Crystal Skull'd" again.

 

[57stratdawg]

He was the Captain the Battlestar Galactica, right**

It's an almost word for word repeat of something Luke says to Leia in Return of the Jedi. It happens when he's about to leave the rebel team on Endor to go confront his father.


I wish I could get my hands on a copy of the original trilogy that didn't have all the extra horrible CGI **** Lucas decided to throw in 10-20 years after the fact.

I'll admit it: got a nerd boner

Check eBay. I picked up a DVD set last year of the original theatrical release. Search for the 2008 Limited Edition set. They ain't cheap.

 

[Optimus Prime 4]

No, that was Lou Ferigno.

Keep your **** straight and stop smoking that funky lettuce and listening to all those jam bands
