Shout out to lupita

 

[Swiffness!]

Yup. Lupita! *blasts "We Made It"*

Let JJ cook , i will bet you it will be better than all the prequels

I wish I knew you in person so I could bet good money with you that it won't even be on the level of Episode III.

Oh and people could say what they want about the prequels but at least it was ALL George Lucas' independent vision. He didn't have to answer to anybody and got his actual vision as he wanted it on the screen. Like a true filmmaker. Jar Jar Abrams on the other hand won't have that luxury. He's just a hired hand paid to deliver the vision that Disney and franchise producers have for the series.

nigga i love Ep 3 and still insist the wackness of Matrix/Pirates/etc sequels basically vindicate the prequels as a whole, but......LOL @ anyone who seriously believes that Star Wars will somehow be worse off without George Lucas' WOAT shit dialogue ("I hate sand"? smfh) and complete over-reliance on CGI that looks laughable 10 years later. Don't give me that "independent vision" shit because we all know Lucas first wife made the Original Trilogy as great as it was by editing the films and scripts personally. Lucas is an utterly brilliant visionary, but he needs someone to keep his stupid shit in check and handle the heavy lifting of writing & directing. Period. I been saying for years that once other people started directing Star Wars films, they would be GOAT status...

Episodes III was pretty fuckin dope.. don't know what people were expecting I'm not sure it could have been much better

 

[The Lonious Monk]

Episode III was good. The Prequel trilogy could have been good if Episodes I and II were merged and a movie that actually followed the events of the Clone Wars was the real Episode II.

 

[iron man1]

I like the fact that there are practical effects again and real landscapes and not cgi everywhere now all they need is to make sure to bring back one of the goat orchestra's.

Prequels had practical effects too. This movie will use digital effects as well as practical ones like the prequels. John Williams is composing the new movie.

 

[lord nemesis]

I'll see it because. ..it's fuckin Star Wars but my expectations are minimal

They began shooting about a month ago.. Yet you already know how the final project will turn out?

J.J. Abrams Responds To The Recent STAR WARS: EPISODE VII Set Pic Leaks

By way of a response to the recent batch of leaked Star Wars set images that have found their way online, the director has posted a pic of his own to the Bad Robot Twitter account. As you'll see from the snap, he has a sense of humor about the whole thing at least..

We recently had some pretty revealing images leak from the set of Star Wars: Episode VII, including a large pig-creature, various extras and pics of a currently under-construction Millennium Falcon. This has prompted the film's director to post a little pic of his own.

Embedded image permalink

In case you're having trouble with Abrams' handwriting, the pic says:

"I wish people would stop leaking photos from Episode VII. And making ridiculous claims that the Millennium Falcon is in the movie. – JJ"

Now if you're not a fan, or aren't too familiar with the interiors of the various space crafts in the Star Wars universe, you may not have noticed that the note has been placed in top of Dejarik table -- a sort of holographic chess game which is played by Chewbacca and R2-D2 in "A New Hope", and which is located in the Millennium Falcon. I guess it's nice to know he's not taking these leaks too seriously anyway.

 

[CottonCitySlim]

Not really excited as I thought I'd be. Especially with them abandoning the EU and doing their own thing.

Everybody from the originals are old af. That's a horrible marketing scheme to try and get more views

Luke went on to become that nigga no way Hamill old ass can pull that off

Was I the only one that watched the Clone Wars? Shit was goat

Fuck Disney for ending it

yea the EU was so much better, Leia became a jedi and birth twins who also because jedi's well one became a sith lord..or was that the grandson

I don't have to listen to a Lil Wayne album to know it won't live up to rap standards.

JJ Abrams is a brand. I already know what that brand is capable of based on his resume. Bad Robot is just a geekier Platinum Dunes but they are just as hacky. Every single thing those guys put their hands on whether it's Kurtzman & Orci (The Legend of Zorro, Cowboys & Aliens), Damon Lindelof (Prometheus) and JJ himself (MI 3, Super 8) has been mediocre or just downright toxic and always derivative of superior works from other people.

So yeah with that in mind. Episode VII will not be as good as Episode III.

obviously the millennium falcon will be in the movie. han solo without the millennium falcon is sacrilege.

[Splackavelli]

he looks like he can still do a physical role and action scenes. he slightly resemble obi-wan also. I said slightly befor y'all attack me.

 

[DarthRozay]

We don't know how physical his fight scenes will be anyway. Now that's he a jedi master (I assume) he'll know how to fight. Look at how Vader and the emperor fight in the original trilogy and notice how they don't do a ton of movement yet still fight well.

 

[Splackavelli]

I aso wanted to ask since the filmmakers are doing away with the eu does this mean that we wont be seeing the new jedi academy?

New STAR WARS: EPISODE VII Set Image With 'R2-D2'; Next Film Will Shoot In London Too

A new snap from the Star Wars set (posted by the UK's chancellor of the exchequer no less) has popped up online, and gives us another look at everyone's favorite little Astromech droid alongside director J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm President Kathy Kennedy.

Sure we've had images of 'Artoo' on the Episode VII set before, but it's always nice to see more of his shiny little head. Plus, that's not all we have. The below image was posted to Twitter by the UK's chancellor of the exchequer George Osborne (no relation to Norman), who payed a visit to the set today -- and along with the pic her confirms that Disney/Lucasfilm will be returning to film another Star Wars flick at some stage. In a separate statement he revealed that this will be the first standalone film, which will be directed by Godzilla's Gareth Edwards.

lol @ R2D2 being the least weird looking one in that pic

the emperor hardly does anything in the original trilogy except for force lightning. if they can use cgi to make luke and leia fight as well as count dooku yoda and palpatine did in the prequel trilogies then i'm all for it.
