I'm not thrilled that they are not basing it on Lucas' original story. | |

I want them to make Revan's story, in a nice septology a la Harry Potter, but that will never happen | |

I'm just amazed that they recaptured the grit of the originals. and the feel that a small man in a big world can do big things yet he's still just a small man |

The new lightsabre is retarded. The little dildo beams off to either side won't do shit. If another energy beam were riding down the main shaft of this, it'd slice off the little dips on other side. | |

It takes far less than that to get it. Go watch any of the prequels trailers then come back and agree with me. Those did not feel like scenes from a Star Wars film, but the clips in this trailer do. There is still a bit of change in the cinematography, but enough of it is still true to form. Just the first three scenes are enough to illustrate this |

This is a basic problem of information theory. There's a movie 1.5 hours long compressed into 1.5 minutes. Some things were lost in the compression. You see the 1.5 minutes and imagine it as a 1.5 hour long movie. The movie in your head and the movie that exists will not match for obvious reasons. | |

Even worse, it's selectively compressed and edited. Only a fool would think he can see the real movie through this window. | |

I'm not talking about any of that. Just single scenes. Just the couple seconds of the guy's sudden appearance in awkward exasperation against a gritty desolate background. Star Wars was captured by that |

It's like a slave in that it can be owned, but unlike one in that it displays a movie on your television screen. A relic of a simpler past, my boy. | |

Crossguards are what they're being called and someone pointed out that they could act like vents to prevent the holder's hand from sliding up into them but if a blade cuts through the shell, it'll be stopped by the energy nubs. | |

I'm pretty bad at playing the "who should direct it" game. My go-tos are Cameron and Spielberg because they're the best. But for Star Wars, nobody feels right. That said, if anybody is right, I think it's Abrams. People sleep on how great Lost was before it got stupid. Most of the hand Abrams had in it involved creating an exciting world with interesting characters, which are probably the two most important aspects of Star Wars |

TBH I'm kinda over Star Wars. I'm of an age where I remember the excitement over the originals; I can't remember which one, but either Star Wars or ESB was the first movie I saw in a theater. | |

If you like Abrams you should check out Fringe, it starts slow but is rocking hard by season 2. | |

Obi-Wan was crafty though. He leveled the Imperialists by subtly changing his name from Obi-Wan Kenobi to Ben Kenobi... | |

Uh, yeah they did. Qui-Gon Ginn had discovered how to become a force ghost, and he came back after his death to lead Yoda to it as well. When Yoda sent Obi-Wan Kenobi to Tatooine to watch over Luke, he gave him what he needed to learn to do it himself. There's a scene that illustrates this in the film for Episode III after Luke and Leia's birth where Yoda tells Obi-Wan that he'll be training while hiding on Tatooine. Note that becoming a force ghost typically causes the physical body to disappear, though it didn't with Qui-Gon Ginn for atypical reasons. | |

wtf spoon is younger than me, yet he was paying attention to the plot? Star Wars to me is all lightsabres and spaceships, all pew pew, "use the force" and all that. The only bits of the plot that matter is Darth being Luke's Dad, and Alderon getting exploded into dust. The rest I barely remember. | |

Palpatine's rise to power is [supposed to be] the primary focus of the first three episodes. The reason a lot of thinking adults don't like the first three episodes is because this aspect of the plot, which is the main plot line to begin with, is glossed over in favor of omg lightsabers omg use the force. | |

I can only watch Star Wars for nostalgia value. It's like watching Indian Jones. Awesome as a child, a bit crap as an adult but still a staple part of my childhood and as such I can enjoy watching it now. But I point blank refused to watch the recent Indian Jones film, and I've not been interested in any of the modern Star Wars films either. It's all about the brand now. It probably was in the 80's but I was too stupid to understand back then. | |

I remember taking my girlfriend at the time to the premiere of Episode 1, and then apologizing profusely after it was over because of how embarrassingly bad the movie was. So many of us in the theater were bored by the time the characters made their way to Tatooine. Episode #2 was even weaker than the first, but Episode #3 was decent. | |

During the first three episodes, Palpatine rises from essentially nothing to having the ultimate position of power from nothing but his own cunning and skill. He's so ridiculously powerful that he's right under the Jedi the entire time, and they have no clue that he's about to wipe them all out. Palpatine is the strongest force-sensitive who exists (under Anakin fully matures) by such a degree of magnitude that it's astounding. | |

As it happens, I was a projectionist at a cinema at the time Revenge of the Sith was showing. I ran a private showing for my friends (the night before official release, no less), as I often did for popular releases. I can't really remember much about it, other than being somewhat underwhelmed. It just didn't interest me like it did when I was a child. | |

It's also worth noting that the presentation of the fourth episode in the original film was geared towards making it its own story because Lucas didn't know if he'd be able to make any of the others. He had to choose one part of the story he had written (nine main episodes + tons of other notes) to make into a film, and that's the episode that worked the best as its own individual story. When it became so popular, naturally he continued with episodes five and six, though he eliminated tons of elements of those two episodes which built up the plot for the final three because his plan was originally to only make three films. | |

Yeah don't get too hyped or you'll just be disappointed. I'm gonna put kiddy-fun-nostalgia glasses on and then it should be alright. I assume they learned from all the feedback on the prequels. The lightsaber was a big facepalm because it was clearly intended to be a 'wow' moment but okays. I hope they realize they have to keep it light and fun, that's what the first three were afterall. | |
