We start shooting in a couple of weeks, and everyone is doing their best to make the fans proud."

I can't get excited for this. I loved the Original Trilogy and was lukewarm on the Prequel Trilogy. I really don't know what to make of this Sequel Trilogy.

I'll see it. Just because it's finally a reality after all these decades but I have 0 expectations for it because I have yet to see anything by JJ Abrams that I've liked. With that said Max Von Sydow has the perfect sith lord voice so I hope he's a baddie.

Boyega and Ridley I'm not familiar with but I'm confident in all the picks based off the selections I do know. Them picking out a cast of some lesser known, young actors and good character actors is promising.

Not a fan of the Star Wars films so this news means fuck all to me, but then I was never a fan of Star Trek and JJ Abrams won me over with his take on it.

Then you'll probably like it cause the first Abrams Trek movie is a lot more like Star Wars than it is anything like Star Trek. Which is why I didn't like it. But being that he's such a SW geek I think he's more appropriate for this franchise despite me not being a fan of the guy. Those lens flares are gonna be brutal though.

The best people they could've gotten turned it down or were too busy. Imagine an Alfonso Cuaron Star Wars movie? damn.

I saw it I just didn't like it. I don't think he's capable of making a classic either. He swagger jacks way too many people and can't seem to find a style of his own. Now he's gonna swagger jack 70's George Lucas. Being say Spielberg lite (Super 8) does nothing but make you look like a wannabe.

 

[earth two superman]

Or a Guillermo Del Toro Star Wars movie. You know one of Han Solo's grand children was gonna die if that happened.

They better not make this shit a damn musical.

 

[DarthRozay]

is that big eared Girls nigga Adam Driver gonna play Yoda's half human bastard son trollololol

i'm kinda having problems reading this sentence here." is that big eared girls nigga..." whats going on here?

 

[Splackavelli]

andy serkis? max vons sidow? that's two bond villains in the star wars franchise. I forgot the name of the actor who played dooku? and mark hamil is back along with most of the original cast. they're all old now so of coarse this is going to revolve around the solo twins and probably luke at grand master status teaching the new jedi academy. they might have his son ben skywalker in it as well.

 

[Splackavelli]

i saw a headline with some little known black actress chick being considered for a role i don't see her in that room. i hope she got a part.
