The Force Awakens



Sounds good - I hope JJ does a good job - I also hope the Disney brand doesn't ruin anything...

Anyone else like the new title name?

As much as people hated the Abram's Star Trek I think Star Wars will be a better fit for him. Star Wars is more campy and light-hearted if anything.

So does this mean that we can actually fulfill Mel Brooks promise of Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money?

Honestly, I've only seen Episode 1 and part of Episode 2.

May miss this one.

Exactly.
Maybe it won't be as good as the original trilogy (there's a very high chance it won't), but it's gonna be an enjoyable, quality film for sure.

I'm just hoping it's better than the Star Wars prequels. But then again a stripper with necrosis is easier to watch than those movies.

While there have been a number of complaints about the title, people will complain about anything, I guess. I actually like it, or maybe it just grew on me. What I like about it, is that it is a dynamic title. "Awakens" is an action verb. Considering some of the other rumored suggestions for titles, this is probably about as good as it gets. Of course, we shall see what we shall see come December, 2015, when the film is released to theaters.

No, I didn't read the books -

If it's got sand, then it must be Abu Dhabi. I don't think there's that much sand in England, Iceland, Ireland, Scotland, nor Santa Monica. Maybe New Mexico has that much sand.

The typical "sound and fury signifying nothing" at imdb.com, but I am gob smacked by the teaser.

And forget the darn chainsaw, when I start cutting down trees, I'm getting a light saber like that..

Still, 13 months away from release, but I am more than thrilled to be one of those waiting to see it. Maybe I'll book a cruise to see it. 1 minute after midnight on the 1st day they release a film in the U.S., they show the same film on each of the cruise ships of the DCL. My mind can't grasp what that showing will be like.

I can't wait to see it!

I also like the new light saber idea... it looks as if it's 'alive with motion' if you look at it - unlike the old sabers that have that continuous light flow.



I'm ok with the new ideas 100% (because, remember - this is after Return of the Jedi)



May THE FORCE be with us.

Within 24 hours, the teaser trailer on youtube.com got . . .

19,898,162 hits
or 829,090.08 ea. hr.
or 13,818.168 ea. min.
or 130.3028 ea. sec.
approximately

166.695 likes or 95.3%
8232 dislikes or 4.7%
approximately

and
47.378 comments.

And here is some more news for those who are interested.

"Looper's" Rian Johnson for "Episode VIII"
and "Chronicle's" Josh Trank for "Episode IX."

or . . . OR . . .?

If Johnson directs both "Episode VIII" and "Episode IX," then Trank does a stand alone film featuring one of the characters from the TOS, as an young man. Which one? The most likely so far is Han Solo as an young man. How young? In his 20's. Though, there is also the talk of the director doing a stand alone film of Yoda, as an young whatever Yoda is? Yoda was young once?!

More news as it becomes available.

And it already has, 13 months out, an unofficial box office gross of $2 billion or $2,000,000,000, when all is said and done. Of course, if it makes less than $2 billion, there will be some people who say the film is a flop.

It's a Sith robe, so probably not.  Though I suppose he could have fallen.

By the way, Kevin, they've been tossing around the idea of a Boba Fett movie for years.  Maybe that'll happen.

Thanks Jim,
I've been reading about that, people (fans) are leaning more towards a 'DarthVader follower'.
