Logan007 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 OMG I'm glad they didn't push it to May 4. I NEEDS IT NOW!!!! But I do get why they want it there seeing as how most of them were released around that date. I'm thinking JJ doesn't have as much free reign as he says, he probably is saying that just to save face. I'm sure they have a plan for all 3 movies so he has to follow that plan. I'm sure he was allowed some free reign to do certain things, but not to do whatever he wanted. You can only bend a story so far without it breaking the whole story. I love Star Trek, but I think they were desperate to get something to work so he was allowed to mess around with things a lot more and do whatever he wanted.

Logan007 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 FYI, saw Hotel Transylvania 2. I thought it was ok, but the kids loved it. I liked the first one better myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Star Trek, but I think they were desperate to get something to work so he was allowed to mess around with things a lot more and do whatever he wanted. He was careful to say "they" let them make the film they wanted but "they" was Disney. And the "them" that made the film they wanted was LucasFilm. Abrams did as Kennedy directed. Which is the way it should be. JJ is talented but sometimes these guys with talent think it means they can write, direct, produce when it means they can maybe do one of those things. Star Trek 2009 was decent as far as a "reboot" but STID was awful. And Trek 3 (Beyond) could go either way. They fired their writer and director (Orci) pretty late in the game after he submitted two stories. And the new writer (Simon Pegg) recently said the studio refused to allow them to see Orci's scripts. There is some oddness going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Look for the full length Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer during the Monday Night Football game tonight. Also: The Star Wars Marathon Event is the ultimate fan experience. All seven movies. One epic journey. Guests will see each of the six previously released Star Wars episodes in digital 2D beginning with The Phantom Menace and concluding with the opening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 3D! Guests will also receive a lanyard featuring exclusive marathon art. Coming December 17. However, no Winnipeg theater's partaking, which is bunk in my humble opinion.

iso_55 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I love Star Wars but to sit thru that marathon? No thanks considering I've seen all the previous releases multiple times. But SW geeks can't get enough, I guess & good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks considering I've seen all the previous releases multiple times. But SW geeks can't get enough, I guess & good for them. I'd consider it. Just to see them on the big screen again. But even then, the first two are tough to sit through. Buddy and I have said we for sure want to watch the films before the new one but while I want to watch all six, he wants to start with A New Hope. As far as marathons go, Im considering the Back to the Future marathon this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Here's a link to the new OFFICIAL poster for Star Wars. Not sure how to post the image here. http://www.latino-review.com/news/the-official-poster-for-star-wars-the-force-awakens-is-here Interesting. Some sort of contraption that certainly invokes the Death Star (would be hilarious if the Empire, or New Order as its called, tries to build another one) and no Luke, which makes sense from a story-telling perspective if the speculation is correct. I can envision the next film's poster with a very prominent Luke on it though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan007 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I'd sit through the marathon, but I'd start at 4 and skip the prequels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan007 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Wow...bigger then I thought it would post but here it is. I believe that is actually a planet that's been retro fitted with some kind of beam that can destroy a sun. Not sure if it uses the planet core to fuel the blast or what though.

The Unknown Poster Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I'd sit through the marathon, but I'd start at 4 and skip the prequels. The only reason I want to watch them again is just to get the full sense of the saga...and also to remind myself of anything that might be referenced in the new trilogy.

The Unknown Poster Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 @Logan Thanks for posting. Its a sharp poster. Knowing some of the spoilers the Starkiller seems like the natural evolution from Death Star. Im surprised they'd use a similar idea though rather than wanting to be fresher with the story. I like it though, assuming its well written, because I like continuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacklewasher Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 1 - 3 you need to watch where you can FF over the dialogue between Anakin and Padme. It's the only way they are bearable. Then watch 4-6 in full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While he would have made the dialogue better the stories were awful. They'd have to chuck them and start over. Interestingly that's what they did with The For e Awakens when they brought Kasdan on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
