New Star Wars film ?

[Alan 45]

am I the only one who is not bothered about this next instalment?


I grew up with the original trilogy and they were fantastic but I've been less than impressed with the resent outings, they just didn't have the same impact and looked a bit more tacky , maybe it's an age thing but with most of my mates acting like they were when the first film came out I'm not so sure

[Paul Davies]

I'm not sure bout the new one. The original trilogy were excellent. The newest three were ok.


Gonna ignore all the hype over this one so. Hopefully I will be surprised and it will be good

I was hoping they wouldnt bring Darth Vader back or something and mess up the storyline, but since the new trailer was released it doesn't look like that's the case. So now I'm just waiting to see how it turns out

[Alan 45]

I think I've worked out why darth faders helmet was in the new trailer and why the bad guy wants to avenge his death


It's a clone of luck skywalker and he's been lead to believe that his father was a good guy by some evil Lord of the sith.


I'm off now to join a Star Wars site and ruin it for them lol

George Lucas is a berk. "I had the story line all along...blah, blah..." Then why not start at the chuffing beginning then! Not chuffing episode IV...right, rant over for now.


Episodes IV, V, VI are terrific, no CG, models and great sets. George had to go back and ruin them by adding stupid CG crap.


Episodes I, II, III are okay if you take them as part of the Star Wars universe...take them as they should before the other films and they fall about in a hopeless crappo fest of Midichlorians, "Roger-Roger" baby talk from the droids, and then later dialogue from the battle droids..."That's a Jedi Starfighter all right." I mean WTF?! Vader builds C3PO and knows R2 yet seems to have totally forgotten all about them in EP IV onwards. Those films along with George Lucas should be fed to the Sarlacc. End of, no more discussion.


As for the new film...we shall see, not holding out for greatness.

There are only three Star Wars films and they are 4/5/6 the others are cartoons and the next three will be cartoons, for evidence check out jj Abrams other major films , just look what he did to Star Trek good films but not Star Trek and not even close IMO

And don't get me started on JAR-JAR!

You have to move with the times, would you rather see the new films with cut out shapes around them where they have super imposed the models on?


Phantom was the worst movie there's no doubting that, but Sith had all the right elements of been a great lead up to Episode 1.


I'm not sure I agree about Star Trek, the first reboot was good, the second left me annoyed and a little flat though


If you want to count opening day figures, please count ALL Marvel francises and Star Wars films, Jurrasic films pale compared to the numbers


Now don't get me wrong, I already have my tickets booked for Force Awakens, as always I will be in the queue on day one like I have for all previous 6

I agree Ade, but instead of addressing issues and tidying up he added so much over the top crap it just ruined them. I think we do need films to have cg, but sometimes more can just leave you cold and not add to the story just detract.

The big difference with CGI and an actual model is the model looks more realistic on the big screen all CGI looks like a cartoon , with digital clean up now you can do the model and it looks like it's real , digital CGI never gives the feeling of being real


When Lucas ruined 4/5/6 by cleaning up the models and then adding the CGI to do the films he wanted you could tell the difference by a country mile , CGI is great for tv but the big screen is awful IMO

Each to their own isn't it?


My brother was at a decent age when the first ones come out and I was born at the start of the eighties so I missed the hype. I'm sure I watched bits of the first ones on TV when I was little but everyone always bangs on about them and say things like "what? you never seen them?you ain't lived" and such.


A little while ago someone said just give them a go and do it in order so I watched the episode 1 or whatever it's called, when I say I watched it what I mean is I gave it a go but my god! Honestly I thought it was effing poo!


I can see why if you were brought up with the originals there is a lot of love their but to be honest if I want to watch a timeless sci fi starring the geezer from Indiana Jones I will be watching Bladerunner... Now there's a film!


I probably would have been interested more if they had re-imagined the originals or even started back at episode 1 again but this time done it properly and done some proper casting rather than picking out the obvious usual suspects and making it a bit more gritty.


Is that enough of a rant?
