Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (USE SPOILER TAGS!)

[Spicoli]

The allure of SW ended for me after ep. V. I own all of the films and I just realized that since "V" I have been chasing a dream.

I doubt the old fans would like it, but I think it would be bad a$$ to see an updated Vader fight, or even just do a movie in between the OT.

If I understand you correctly your first question is asking if another character (young sith) should wear the suit, not if another actor should wear it playing the same character.

In that case...
That wouldn't make any sense. The suit was worn out of neccessity, it kept him alive. There wouldn't be any reason for another sith to wear the same suit.

I am watching now ROJ. Meh. But pay attention to chapter 14 Yoda's Twilight. There is great material for the new sequels there.

Yoda: Remember, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Luke... Luke... do not... do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor or suffer your father's fate you will. Luke, when gone am I... the last of the Jedi will you be. Luke, the Force runs strong in your family. Pass on what you have learned, Luke. There is... another... Sky... walker.

Even though Yoda took a vacation during ep. IV I still think he is a major link/thread to this universe. IMO

That's been one of my main gripes about the PT. Unlike Neo in The Matrix, you never really got to see just how powerful Anakin/Vader was and what really set him apart from the everyone else. If there was a scene where it should've been showcased, it was the raid on the Jedi Temple. Sadly, all we got was a one second hologram of Vader not doing much of anything.

I know, it was the mention of "falling prey to the emperor" is what caught me.

How about the Emperor gains control of Luke also? Like father like son.

That is my theory on the plot involving Luke. In Ep. VII Luke is on the dark side but that is not revealed until the end of the movie.

The only time I've seen Vader's power was on the force unleashed

I couldn't even finish ROJ. I noticed that when Luke was with Rancor he picked up a rock and threw it at the button to shut the door on Rancors face. He seems to forget he has Jedi power. Lulz.

Yea I am with you on that. That whole movie is just a mess from beginning to end.

It is the ONLY SW film that I will never watch again.

Have you read the Dark Empire comics?

[Walts Ghost]

I still love all three of the original trilogy films, warts and all. They're the reason I fell in love with film. Between those, the Indiana Jones films, 'The Rocketeer', and the 'Back to the Future' series, they all show why the magic of cinema is so amazing. I will always hold a special place in my heart for that reason alone, and no one can take that away from me. I feel like so many fans have become bitter over Lucas' constant tinkering and they forget why the movies are so amazing. I'll always watch them with the childlike wonderment that captured me on my first viewing. There's few films that captured me like they did, and I've invested much of my life into the remaining EU and mythos that have come alive. Is it messy? Sometimes. But so what? So are comics, and I still love those too. I can't wait to see what J.J. and Michael Arndt bring to the table with 'Episode VII'.

wtf...its better than all three prequels combined, as flawed as it is.

the final battle in Palpatine's throne room alone is worth the watch, especially when Luke rages and nearly kills his father. Epic music, epic moment.

You hit the nail right on the head. That scene alone makes ROJ special. I remember as a 13-year old watching it in the theater the first time and feeling completely blown away as if I was watching history in the making! I'll never forget that, and even now, if I re-watch it on blu ray in my theater room, that scene gets me emotionally involved just like the first time.

And imagine if Luke had given in to the Dark Side at that moment. I'm convinced he'd be even more powerful than Vader ever was. Could be a great storyline for the sequels if Luke eventually turned.

The Sith armor I would like to see most conveyed in a movie, is Darth Bane's orbalisk armor. I would love to see LucasFilms take on it slowly eating away at it's host while at the same time protecting him from all harm. Heck even a film on the actual Darth Bane Trilogy would be awesome! Seriously, who wouldn't want to see a series based on the Sith ideology. The politics, backstabbing and violence needed to get ahead in the order alone would make for an amazing trilogy.

I know, chance of it happening is slim... but I can always dream

The Dark Empire comic series delves into this very subject. Definitely worth a read.

Absolutely! Cam Kennedy and Tom Veitch did some outstanding work there in ways that the fans couldn't predict! Having Luke delve into the darkside by being tempted is one possible path, but that the fact that in dark Empire Volume 1 he did so completely willingly to try and understand why his father went to the Darkside is an amazing journey!
