yep ariakkas nailed it, it could be an all ewok cast defeating the empire with a bunch of sticks and stones and it would still be better than jar jar binks jacking off on screen.

Adam Driver is the best part of "Girls", I have a feeling we will all be pleasantly surprised with his performance.

That's like saying the cherry is the best part of a shit sundae. I agree that he outshines almost everyone else in it, I just don't think that necessarily denotes anything significant.

I know that show is one of those intra-Hollywood darlings right now, so casting him as a major villain just has a very flavor of the month feel to it. I have a very hard time picturing him in that sort of role.

It won't suck any worse than the Star Trek reboot movies sucked. It will have big giant space ships, laser guns, lens flare, new storm trooper uniforms, fan service callbacks to New Hope and Empire, and overly contrived moments that serve to remind us of our humanity. It will be brightly lit, well produced, and agonizingly edited.

It will be solidly, and passably, mediocre.

If they are wise what it won't have is more than 1 light saber duel -- and that will be a very short sequence itself, maybe nothing more than the Obi Wan / Darth Vader "duel" that we get in New hope. You save the swashbuckling for the second movie. I'd go so far to say the prevalence of lightsabers will be a direct metric of the quality of the movie. But it remains to be seen if they have that much self restraint -- or trust in the continuing value of the IP.

What you really don't want is lots of scenes of Jedi lazily chopping up droids that seem like they aren't even there (because they aren't)

Are you kidding? Those were some of the best scenes in the prequels.

They had little or no dialogue.

Well, he certainly didn't get any of Luke's genes.

Maybe he's up for Leia's son, Tyrone Calrissian?

Skipped most of the thread... So we are skipping all the good parts of the Star Wars uni that was created with the books not written by Lucas and going straight into shit he created?

Iirc Luke's kid was 15 years after Endor?... Give or take?

I'd walk out of the theater if Luke was a Sith. That's barely less retarded than Anakin going from Jedi to CHILD MURDERER in the span of 5 minutes.

The only reason Anakin's entire fall made any sense at all is because he was portrayed as a god damn idiot.

I thought it was because of really bad writing and forced plot points. Nooooooooooooo!

Prequels? Good idea, they should do those instead of a sequel. The first movie could start with a sadistic, arrogant adult Anakin being expelled from the Jedi order for his obvious personality flaws who then joins with a Sith Lord and ends with their successful overthrow of the Republic and his maiming at the hands of Obi-Wan to a lucky fluke.

Can we throw the prequels in with the EU and call for a Hollywood reboot? It takes all I can not to add ROTJ to that list also. Hate the Ewoks.

RotJ is when Lucas sold his soul to the all mighty $. The original outline didn't call for a happy ending. From Producer Gary Kurtz, who produced Star Wars and Empire and was going to produce Return but left after a falling out with Lucas. "We had an outline and George changed everything in it," Kurtz said. "Instead of bittersweet and poignant he wanted a euphoric ending with everybody happy. The original idea was that they would recover [the kidnapped] Han Solo in the early part of the story and that he would then die in the middle part of the film in a raid on an Imperial base. George then decided he didn't want any of the principals killed. By that time there were really big toy sales and that was a reason."

So the reason for Ewoks and the giant happy ending is by RotJ, Lucas cared more about toy sales than he did his film.
