Star Wars VII
« on: March 19, 2014, 09:12:49 pm »
According to this article the next Star Wars will be set 30 years after the end of Return of the Jedi and the stars of the original movies (Kirk Hammet, Carrie Underwood, Rob Ford), will be reprising their roles. My new hope that the franchise would be making a comeback just died.

Do we really need to see a 60 year old Princess Leia? Here's a hint, she hasn't aged well.

Have you guys heard about the correct order to watch the 5 other movies? Most importantly, "episode one" is not included.

You start with IV and v. V ends with the climactic "father" moment and reveal of Luke's new ***** hand. Wait, DV is Luke's father? What!! How did that happen?
Next, II and III-- the story of how Anakin became evil. BUT WAIT WHAT ABOUT LUKE IS HE GONNA BE EVIL
Start of VI, luke in dark robe with red lightsaber, being all creepy and scary. Oh no. BUT IT WAS ALL A TRICK AND THEY KILL THE EMP AND VADER REPENTS AND AND AND...

Yeah. So good.

I dunno, that's really only a problem if you expect giraffeer to put on the metal bikini, I'm sure she can pull off wearing frumpy robes and sitting in a chair looking old. I assume they're just there for small cameos or something. Nobody really thinks dumpy old versions of Luke and Leia and a cantankerous Han Solo are gonna be bringing in much box office dough.

The correct order is IV - V - VI then you time travel to 1993 or '94 and kill George Lucas with a shovel.

Yeah. So good.

I prefer to watch IV thru VI and forget that I thru III exist. Of course IV thru VI have been edited to the point that I don't enjoy them anymore either so I guess I'll wash my hands of the whole affair until they restore IV thru VI to their original splendor.

Oh I'm sure I'll go see the new movie and watch it with unwarranted optimism.

My expectations are so low that they really can't possibly disappoint me.

i'd actually love to see the prequel re-edit by topher grace (yeah like what) that apparently turns the prequel trilogy into a good movie.

i've never seen ep3 because ep1 was SO BAD and ep2 got me to swear off george lucas forever. really too bad, thx-1138 was great; merchandising and success ruined him.

Ep III is even worse (if that can be believed) than the two that preceded it.

I saw THX-1138 many many years ago, but remember almost nothing about it. It's slowly rising to the top of my Netflix queue so I should be seeing it again soon.

Not everybody hated the prequels. Are there any here that thought they were good movies?

I thought that II was better than I, but that's like saying warts are better than sunburn as far as skin conditions go.  Like Choop, I haven't seen III because my imaginations about the story of the Clone Wars and the genesis of Vader is better than whatever ended up on the screen.
