Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I'd've definitely said the same things; nothing ingratiating about his statements at all.
Everyone's entitled to their opinions and so far this thread's been full of them, but I think there's a very talented lineup of people in place for the execution of this upcoming episode and I can't help but feel optimistic for its outcome. Not to discredit him as we all owe him a great deal for creating the galaxy that's given us a lot of memories, but we've all gotten what we've all pined for for years, GL stepping aside and letting someone else's mind shape SW. I'm as excited for SW now as I can ever remember being, and that's saying a lot...

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
until its posted officially its rumor. and do you want to see a 70 year old darth maul? strong is the force and who knows how old his species lives ( I like him being in the Clone Wars cartoon) but do you really think he will reappear 60 years later to seek revenge... again? :lol

Methinks someone is confusing it with the Clone Wars cartoon series.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
good point. If I am not mistaken the series runs later overseas? I know many tv series are a year behind in places like Germany and Belgium so is the Clone Wars cartoon scheduled differently in the UK than here in the US?
man, talk about derailing this off topic... :lol
So, I wonder if Ben Burt will do the sound effects? He did go to Pixar, which then went to Disney... and he worked on some of JJ's films... as well as Lucas' Red Tails.

If so, let's hope ship engines sound like ship engines again instead of organs or whatever.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
Said it before, will say it again. Yes, Luke should be in it and yes, he should die as Obi-Wan did (not in the same way obviously but for the same plot purpose).
Han and Leia should be already dead when the opening credits role. I'm pretty firm in that opinion.
Might? Now granted I'm not a Marvel fan but you're comparing a secondary character from (comic-wise anyway) a secondary group of heroes to Luke Skywalker? :eek

I concur. raw real world sounds mixed like the old days. And like other's have mentioned, real location shoots and less green screen cgi will help ground it.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I don't necessarily agree.
He didn't feel the need to explain Red Matter in Star Trek. Nor the details of the Rabbit's Foot in M:I 3. Nor offer up a whole lot about the alien in Super 8.
I think where he gets into trouble is in the long form of a series where he gets to the point eventually where he feels like he has to offer up more detail. And those were the examples cited in the article: Alias and Lost.
In film, he seems perfectly happy to offer up just enough to propel the plot. So I'm able to maintain hope that he won't go down the path of trying to explain the Force.

Matt Reeves directed it. Abrams was the producer, which means all he did was get money for the production and brought the project to the studios (basically he handled the business end of filmmaking while Reeves handled the creative side of filmmaking).

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
Well since you are so tence about past and future . . . in my picture it's J.J. asking wheather Han shot first ... with ??? in the very first theatrical version Greedo shoots but hits the wall wheather this was first or second is trivial . . . so there's no need for me wearing your T-shirt <wave my hand in a jedi manner> :lol

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I doubt lens flares will be an issue since it's a fairly intrusive and out of place visual style for Star Wars. I bet JJ over used it in Star Trek just to cling onto some artistic uniqueness. My only concern is the blasted 'self aware' film style with camera shaking, the zooming in and out and material hitting and affecting the camera.

Just about the only franchise where an explanation would be a good thing! :facepalm

You don't need to wear the shirt but you're wrong about the pic and should spread the message.
JJ Should be asking "So Han was the only one to shoot?"
In the original release we only hear one blaster shot and see no evidence of Greedo ever shooting. George saying it was always there is BS.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
Agreed. It's fun to laugh about lens flare but the real danger here is Star Wars turning into 24.
I'd like some good classic film making. Put that camera on a mount and do it properly. :thumbsup

I think JJ will do well with SW 7, but whatever happened to his previous stance that he wanted to stay with Star Trek only so not to upset the fans of each side. Just an observation.
