Star Wars: Episode VII

[A Robot Bit Me]

I wonder if the buttcheekses of 1967 were afraid Warner Bros' Bonnie and Clyde was going to be too much like a Bugs Bunny short.

Is it cute or funny? Mickey products are so generic. Why would a kid want it? Why would a kid even want to go to Disney World or Disney Land? Does Disney channel even advertise the parks much now? Between whatever garbage bad sitcom about a 13 year old girl they're airing?

But hey, lets say you're completely right.

Why should that kind of company be making a star wars movie? What reason do we have to think they WON'T do the same and end up pumping out generic meaningless garbage so they can sell a bunch of purses with rebel or empire symbol on them for the next 50 years?

You are so out of touch with reality.

Well, that's how you raise the stakes on your Bad Guys. Even "How to Train your Dragon 2" was running that playbook.

I guess Luke was supposed to be the new bad ass Jedi in town. And we never got to see him be that. So I was hoping to see some old Luke busting ass.

The new trailer got me all jazzed up—historically I haven't ever cared about Star Wars. I thought the first 3 were cool but by the time I appreciated them they were old. The new ones weren't great and everything was CG so I didn't give a shit about any characters. This new one looks like it contains the spirit of the first while utilizing all of the technology and advancements in cinematography (things look pretty) made in the last 20 years.

Now I'm reading that Luke might be the bad guy of this movie—and the one doin' the killing. I highly suggest you don't read that POTENTIAL spoiler if you get all uppity about that kind of stuff. My Sunday morning has been an intense emotional rollercoaster ride.

You are so out of touch with reality.

The threads with people ignoring his insanity eventually get back on track.

I don't know why I care. I guess the new trailer got me all jazzed up—historically I haven't really cared about Star Wars. I thought the first 3 were ok—but by the time I appreciated them they were old. The new ones weren't great and everything was CG so I didn't give a shit about any characters.

Now I'm reading that Luke might be the bad guy of this movie—and the one doin' the killing. I highly suggest you don't read that POTENTIAL spoiler if you get all uppity about that kind of stuff.

Where'd you get that spoiler from?

I think I'm jazzed up because the movie looks very pretty. The white of the storm troopers and the red/black of the Sith have never seemed this graphic and vibrant.

I read some rumours that Luke Skywalker will be killed by the new baddie in Episode VII or VIII to match the way Qui-Gon Jinn was struck down by Darth Maul and Obi-Wan Kenobi was struck down by Darth Vader. Not sure how I feel about that.

I'd be more surprised if Luke didn't die.

George was big on the Hero's Journey, and many include the death of the father in the Hero's journey. Either he's already dead, or the son must kill him, or the step in dad / real dad dies training / saving the son. The father or father like character dies.

If Disney writers stay true to the old stuff, and Luke is a mentor / father character, he will die.

But they could write him as a completely different kind of character or just do what Disney does and not have any heroes die.

This isn't new. There was something in the expanded universe were either he or someone with a cloned luke body did that.

If broadsword bad guy whips off his mask and is Luke...

Everything in this movie looks so, abrams. I don't know how to explain it, I guess it feels like it will be as much star wars as the new star trek was star trek. Which is not very much.

I don't even care anymore. Its been like this for like 10 years.
