Star Wars - SPOILERS INSIDE
 
Star Wars Script Finally Finished

Quote:

Today we've got good news for anyone who's been slightly apprehensive about the progress of Star Wars: Episode VII.In the last few weeks we've been hearing more and more about the script-writing woes going on behind the scenes of J.J. Abrams' Star Wars sequel. Luckily, it now seems like a script has finally been cobbled together for Episode VII.Abrams told The Wrap that the new script, written by himself and Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi scribe Lawrence Kasdan, is complete and ready to begin filming.The early months of Star Wars: Episode VII certainly haven't been without a measure of controversy. Firstly, Toy Story 3 and Little Miss Sunshine writer Michael Arndt was kicked off the project when his approach for Episode VII failed to impress Abrams. It seemed the two creatives just couldn't come to an agreement about the direction of the next addition in the Star Wars saga. Reportedly, Arndt preferred a new chapter of the franchise which placed Han, Leia and Luke's kids at the forefront, while Abrams wanted the original trio to have one last hurrah on the big screen.However, even before Arndt left the movie, the team were already having trouble sticking to Disney's 2015 release deadline. Originally, Abrams and the writers petitioned Disney to push back the release of Star Wars: Episode VII to 2016. Although Disney ultimately refused, they did agree to postpone release until mid-December as opposed to the originally stated May 2015 release.So what does this all mean? Well, obviously Star Wars: Episode VII is too strong a beast to ever be in any kind of critical danger. It certainly will be delivered at some point. Having said that, the production does sound rather disorganized and volatile. While Disney's insistence for a 2015 release (despite the pleas of the actual director) doesn't exactly sound like a working environment conducive to movie-making gold.What do you think? Has the news of the Star Wars: Episode VII's pre-production got you concerned, or do you have faith in Abrams and co?

SlickyTrickyDamon 01-21-2014 10:25 PM

It was pretty dumb of Disney to say an unwritten movie would be done and in theaters by May 2015. Glad to see they are finished with the script and moving forward with filming soon. Really glad they are going to give the trio a big sendoff and then focus on the next generation. Really hope JJ can bring back a sense of realism to the movies. All that fake CGI really took me out of the movie experience. They need to use models and blow em up again.

Fucking nice! If that is in any way connected to or going to be used in the upcoming films, then that's got me excited.

Kalyx triaD 01-29-2014 08:07 PM

It's a just a fan short, but a badass one. There's tons of fan choreographed lightsaber duels on YT; some not as cool, and others should be in a movie. It helps that saber effects have gotten easier for techies.

Kalyx triaD 02-19-2014 06:41 PM

That new Rebels cartoon looks like it's gonna work out. I'm getting excited, and at least they allowed Clone Wars to finish.

SlickyTrickyDamon 02-19-2014 06:48 PM

I'd like one that doesn't look all cgi. Plus where is Detours? Come on.

Kalyx triaD 02-19-2014 07:03 PM

Detours is more than likely dead, dude.

SlickyTrickyDamon 02-19-2014 07:15 PM

Then fuck Disney up the ass with a double sided lightsaber. I will not watch Rebels until Detous is given a release date.

Peter Mayhew, who played the Wookiee Chewbacca in Star Wars: Episodes III – VI, will reprise the role for Star Wars: Episode VII, according to Hollywood Reporter.

Rumors of the casting circulated recently when Mayhew cancelled a planned appearance at Texas’ Comicpalooza “due to filming.” The convention takes place May 23 – 26, and coincides with the recent announcement by Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn that Episode VII is already filming (see “'Star Wars VII' Shooting”). Mayhew has made a career of appearing as the iconic character in TV appearances and making convention appearances, though he also voiced Susha for Dragon Ball GT: A Hero’s Legacy.

Wookiees, according to the the Wookieepedia, The Star Wars Wiki, can live for several centuries. Chewbacca, played by Mayhew, had a brief appearance in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith in the Battle of Kashyyyk, alongside Tarfful and Yoda, and helped Yoda escape the planet. Later he joined up with Han Solo as copilot and smuggler for Star Wars: Episodes IV – VI.

So he's back with the Big Three, likely in passive roles.

When do we get to hear who starring in this new trilogy, me wonder.

That'd be today.

Can't get the page on Starwars.com to load, but the announcement was this:

Quote:

The Star Wars team is thrilled to announce the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII.

Actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in the new film.

Yeah Ford was the only somewhat known of the main cast from the original movies except for James Earl Jones and Sir Alec Guiness.

Good formula that worked for the first movies. Most of the known cast were older people like Grand Moff Tarken.

Tom Guycott 08-16-2014 01:18 AM

Let's hope not. Piss poor aiming is a hallmark of any Imperial Stormtrooper. Unless they're slaughtering Jawas in a big, slow moving vehicle, of course.

Besides, if they upped their standards, their numbers would dwindle.

There's a trailer doing the rounds on social media. Is it a fake?

loopydate 11-27-2014 09:10 AM

It is. It's spliced together from video game clips and fan films. It's very impressive and I'll admit to bring fooled up front, but it's been debunked.

They are releasing the new trailer online tomorrow, though, to combat people pirating it in-theater.

Saber effects have been adjusted a bit. I hope Nick G is back doing choreography.

Fox 11-28-2014 08:17 PM

I just don't know. I really want to like this. That first shot of the guy popping up in the Stormtrooper uniform made me think this was some sort of a parody - like I'd been tricked into watching a rick roll or something.

The rest was pretty good. Not sure how I feel about the lightsaber with the "guards." Doesn't really make much sense, really, but just done as a change for the sake of change and to look "cool." I always liked the sleek look of an ignited lightsaber.

Much to be seen.

Emperor Smeat 11-28-2014 09:22 PM

Apparently people are talking a load of shit about how the black guy can't be a stormtrooper because he's black, and all the stormtroopers should be Jango Fett. Did they not establish that this wasn't the case by the timeline of the original trilogy. Did we never see a stormtrooper without his helmet in Episodes IV-VI (genuinely can't remember)?

Or, maybe he pulled the same trick as Luke did and "borrowed" the armour?

Either way, and whatever the reason, it's no excuse to be racially abusive to the actor via social media.

This planet annoys me sometimes. Maybe I could piss off to a galaxy far, far away...

SlickyTrickyDamon 12-02-2014 01:28 PM

Clone Troopers were phased out because they realized that Jango Fett's personalities were possible to turn them good because of his Mandolrian Battle honor stuff. Some of the Clone Trooper refused to carry out Order 66 because of loyalties to the Jedi. Troopers are now true believers of the Empire.

I figured the problem people had with the Black trooper is that he's the only the second black guy in the galaxy and he's a heel. Not for any other reasons. It makes sense because of the Empire's racism (well mostly racist to aliens) that black people are storm troopers.

Kalyx triaD 12-02-2014 01:47 PM

*sigh*

Yeah the Clones were phased out by the OG trilogy. I think the cloning facilities were shut down as well. Stupid quasi-racist who really should know better if they're Star Wars fans. And conversely people getting extra hype because of a black and female character. This fucking planet.

At least talk is dying down about the claymore lightsaber.

Just read an interview with Sam L Jackson. It's old, from like 2012, but in it he says he really wants to be in the new star wars movies. Either as a spirit or a one armed jedi who survived his death scene in Revenge.

I would love to see him return and have it revealed he survived. Just this grizzled old one arm veteran who is still a legit badass jedi after all this time. They'd probably have to use make up and stuff to make him look older, but whatever, they could do it.

Lock Jaw 03-06-2015 11:33 PM

Maybe his arm is a lightsaber now. Man, that would be so radical.

He lost both of his arms.

Fignuts 03-07-2015 01:19 AM

No he didn't.

Lock Jaw 03-07-2015 01:21 AM

He actually only lost one HAND.

Fignuts 03-07-2015 01:23 AM

And lets be honest, losing any limb in star wars is just a minor inconvenience. Happens to everybody.

road doggy dogg 03-07-2015 01:34 AM

Only acceptable if he sports the lisp he did in Kingsman.

SlickyTrickyDamon 03-07-2015 01:46 AM

Well he probably could have survived then. I thought he lost both hands so he couldn't use the force powers.

Lock Jaw 03-07-2015 01:58 AM

You don't need your hands to use the force.

I think Count Dooku lost both his hands. You probably have it confused with all the other hand losing.

SlickyTrickyDamon 03-07-2015 02:22 AM

Dooku. That's right. Probably should have saved the two-handed for the final loss of arms. Damn you Lucas.

Most of the filmed force powers come from the hand area. I know there's Battle Meditation and such.

Fignuts 03-07-2015 03:35 AM

They don't actually need hands to use the force. The whole hand extended pose is more for the audiences sake, so they know the person is using the force.

Like when Jean Grey extends her arms in x-men when she uses her telekinesis.

That whole pose is just one of those sci-fi tropes. It doesn't really mean anything.

McLegend 03-07-2015 10:59 AM

Does anyone think Mace Windu was a huge dick who kind of played a big part in the fall of the Jedi? Especially since he was always a dick to Anakin?

Either way would love to see him back.

SlickyTrickyDamon 03-07-2015 11:03 AM

They all were huge dicks to Anakin.

Lock Jaw 03-07-2015 12:00 PM

Recently watched the prequel trilogy. Pretty much hadn't seen Episode II since it came out in theaters. It was much worse than I remember. Was literally cringing at the Padme/Anakin scenes, of which there were many.

SlickyTrickyDamon 03-07-2015 12:06 PM

It's worth it for that dress she wears in the fireplace scene. She was the biggest tease in the history of the universe.

El Vaquero de Infierno 03-07-2015 12:07 PM

If you don't want to perforate your eardrums, and gouge out your eyes with a spoon, during the Padme/Anakin scenes, your tolerance for cringe-worthy cinema has to be legendary.

El Vaquero de Infierno 03-07-2015 12:08 PM

The only saving grace of the prequel trilogy is Natalie Portman's midriff; 'tis a thing of beauty.

Lock Jaw 03-07-2015 12:13 PM

Currently been watching through The Clone Wars on Netflix.... only a handful of episodes in to the show but it seems alright. Only thing is that Anakin seems "out of line" with his characterization in the movies. In the movies (and the first Clone Wars series which I also watched) there was always this underlying anger/frustration/impatience/whinyness to him. In this show he seems "playful" and "cheerful" too much.

McLegend 03-07-2015 12:41 PM

The Anakin in Clone Wars is a far more superior characterization than in the movies. If he was more like he was in the Clone Wars the movies would have been better. He's really like able in the Clone Wars.

You're in for a good series, Lock Jaw.

Kalyx triaD 03-07-2015 03:44 PM

The Clone Wars cartoon more than adequately explains why Anikan did what he did in Eps.III than the prequel trilogy did. It's much more tragic in the expanded context.

road doggy dogg 03-07-2015 04:10 PM

I forget; a few months back when they claimed that everything in the "expanded universe" isn't canon, was Clone Wars included in that? Or is that considered part of the actual story

McLegend 03-07-2015 05:24 PM

The Clone Wars counts as far I know. Everything after Return of the Jedi does not.

I would love to see a clone wars season dedicated to Revenge of The Sith. I know that's never going to happen though.

Fignuts 03-07-2015 06:22 PM

Clone Wars, Rebels, and all the Novels and Comics after the Disney buyout are all canon.

I mean, if you want other people to decide for you what's canon. Personally, what ever I want to be canon IS canon. If the new movies come out, and I don't care for them, then they didn't happen, and the Thrawn stuff and New Jedi Order is what happens next. Simple as that.

Kalyx triaD 03-07-2015 07:16 PM

Yeah Clone Wars survived the great Disney purge.
