bluedeni Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Honestly don't think this is good at all. I am annoyed with the his signature lighting style he uses and I don't really want a stylized Star Wars like I have with Star Trek. I always felt Star Wars was grittier. piecemeal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take a look at the original Star Wars, and even the prequels, bad as they were, they at least have a style to them that is their own. Lots of wideshots, everything on screen well established. If this is anything like the Abrams Star Trek it will be disappointing, and who's to say it won't. That movie made a shit ton of money, and that's all they're after in the end.

jhulud Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 I am an unabashed JJ Abrams fanboy. Love everything he is involved with. So naturally part of me is nerding out completely over this. BUT another part of me is worried because it's Star Wars. STAR FUCKIN' WARS!!! That's like the nerd holy grail of all that is sci-fi and awesome. So it's worrisome that it may get screwed up somehow somewhere. Feel me?!?!

He and Joss Whedon are kind of in the same boat. They've had their hands in so much awesome genre shit over the years and are now getting their chance to make awesome, big budget movies the way that they want to.

jhulud Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Agreed. Abrams and Whedon can do no wrong. So far. The way I see it, and this just dawned on me, is that both are of the same generation who grew up with Star Wars and the like when first came out. So their writing and directing and producing is greatly influenced by the great pinnacle of sci-fi and comic book days and so far it has translated greatly into their films and TV shows. So the hope is there definitely for ep. VII to be great. And I hope that it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I have no doubt that JJ will not live up the original trilogy. However, if he can't up the ante over the prequels by quite a bit then I'll be shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unwound Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 The thing I really appreciate about Abrahams is that he builds most of his sets. His lighting is debatable, but the man gets so involved with his work that I really can't see this turning out THAT bad. Unless, you know, you have a different opinion then me.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 It feels like a day doesn't go by without some quote, rumor, or speculation that Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, and Harrison Ford will return for the next set of Star Wars movies. Earlier this week, Fisher said "yes," only to have her publicist say it was just a joke. But now the latest word comes from arguably the most reliable source: George Lucas. In Bloomberg Businessweek, in a long piece about Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm, the man himself let this slip: “We had already signed Mark and Carrie and Harrison — or we were pretty much in final stages of negotiation." He quickly realized his misstep: “Maybe I’m not supposed to say that. I think they want to announce that with some big whoop-de-do, but we were negotiating with them.” Then, trying to cover up: “I won’t say whether the negotiations were successful or not.” Nice try, George.

thebiglebowski Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I wish they would just start fresh and do their own thing, not piggyback on the greatness of the first movies. 2015 Carrie Fisher in a princess leia bikini...who wouldn't want to see that??
