Could you just imagine if all the bad guys in every movie shot perfectly. The movie would be over in minutes. They need to miss so we can have main characters.

Exactly. If the heroes can't run just a little faster than the shooter can track, or can't hide behind things that are patently unable to stop a bullet, We'd have movies that ended the second the bad guy lifted a machine gun. Although I agree with the above that close calls, wounds, etc, barely surviving, is usually more exciting.
 
Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Agreed. I get enough reality every. single. day...

Sometimes it feels good to have the impossible (even unbelievable at times) happen to the heroes.

The real plot hole to be addressed is why the stormtroopers are so feared when they shoot that poorly.

In regards to his clone theory, by the time of ANH, the troopers were no longer clones. They were enlisted military. (Or so I've heard

I'm thinking that people are remembering the actual clones when they became Stormtroopers. Lucas said there was a mix of humans and clones in the OT. (Dave Filoni doesn't count unless he went back in time and came up with Stormtroopers and told Lucas about it :p)

Sounds very plausible. And the base being the Massassi temple, I can only say "told ya!"

Jason Ward is saying the base in Grennham Common is NOT Yavin. But Yavin will be seen as a separate base. He is pretty in the know.
 
Re: Star Wars Episode VII

If Luke is the villain and is a cyborg especially his face as seen in concept art then why has he put so much into growing his beard and hair into Obi-Wan style just to cover it up with cyborg parts. Unless of course that is all a cover by JJ.

Luke did use the dark side to defeat Vader, although he stepped down from it, Yoda did say, if you use it even once, forever down that path you with go.

Or words to that effect.

Plus imagine if they keep the reveal till the very end of the film, that would be an even bigger mindfeck than the "I am your father" line.

Weren´t we very lucky that there was no internet as we know it in the early 1980ies?

Unless Luke is also present without the costume elsewhere in the movie (a la The Emperor), then you'd probably figure it out by his absence from the trailer. :p
 
Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Like the emperor is how I imagine they would do it, but with a better disguise then just a hood and some shadows.
 
Re: Star Wars Episode VII

If this goes down the path mentioned in that article I think they could build it to echo the OT with the younger Jedi offspring trying to turn luke back to the good side ala Luke doing it to Vader. If the suggested title is "The/That Ancient Fear" as rumored it would make sense. The ancient fear being what happened to Anakin turning to the dark side and now Lukes turning.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Okay, so this is the 12 years old Michael in me typing:

Hey guys, why is it these days that everything needs to be cynical? I love star wars because Luke is good, Han is cool and Leia is the Princess. As a kid I can relate to this!
So why is it that my heroes can´t stay heroes? Why does everything suddenly feel like a lie when I watch my movies?

42 years old Michael typing again:

Yeah. What the kid said. I did not like seeing Agent Phelps turn bad in Mission Impossible. I can see the urge to mirror past events in a new trilogy, but this feels a bit too much. I understand the direction, and yes, it unfortunately would make sense, since Luke always felt like a very insecure character, until ROTJ. It may be that this insecurity he shares with his father may lead to the urge to overdo things and use the Dark Side to make things right at last (inheriting that skewed view of reality from his father), but damn, I wish it will be more simple stortytelling in the new trilogy.

A little girl that I know cried and could not understand why it was necessary to kill that viking chief in How to train your Dragon 2, and I must say that although I understood the reason for the character kill off, I did not like how it was done. It felt cold and abrupt. All light-heartedness was gone.

What did your kids think about Anakin becoming Darth Vader?

I hope that our heroes will still be heroes.
