New teaser trailer....not sure what I'm more interested in seeing: the trailer, or the inevitable ripping, and tearing, it to pieces.
I think I'll opt for the previous, as I won't be looking at this film under a microscope, just a happy Star Wars fan. ![]() |

At the end of the day it's all going to be about money. It's a business like any other and the real motivation is profits. Go to Disneyland and see how much a burger and fries are if you want to know how much Disney is concerned about the customers. Not only that but imo Disneys track record with buyouts of major franchises is 50%. Marvel has been great so far, Pixar is a shadow of its former self. Pixar movies were awesome before Disney. Now, bring on the unnecessary sequels. Either way it goes, I have good reason to be concerned for these spin-off ideas which came out nearly the same time as the new trilogy was announced. Star Wars is special and I don't want bland cash grabs featuring old or young established characters to ruin it because Disney wants it's money back. |

You're right about Pixar, but I'd argue that Pixar has been their biggest undoing. Cars 2 wasn't a Disney problem, it was a John Lasseter problem, because the series is his baby. It's sad that he let the film get out of hand as much as he did before stepping in to try and fix it, but it was beyond repair. Brave was a similar situation as well. That's why I'm not excited about Toy Story 4 at the moment, because I'm afraid Lasseter has gone full Lucas, with everyone telling him yes instead of no. They can still turn everything around though, with Inside Out and The Good Dinosaur, so I'm really not willing to say Pixar is a shadow of their former self. Not until I see what they do with the new three films that aren't sequels. Monsters U was a contractual movie, but I thought it turned out well, all things considered. At the end of the day, as long as the films are good, I think we'll all be happy. I get being cautious, but we can only hope with Lucas not controlling everything, that the company has learned from his past mistakes and will move away from them. That's why I like the idea of the spin-offs, because they can be anything that wouldn't fit the trilogy narrative at the time, but is still a great self contained story at any point of the Star Wars universe. I'm hoping the idea of character origin films has died away already. It seems it may have, if the rumored first film is true. Last edited by Walts Ghost; 11-24-2014 at 08:13 PM. |

Ep 2 should have focused on an older Anakin, already a Jedi, freeing the slaves on Tatooine. That is where we should have seen the pent up anger/rage/hatred being exhibited as he went ape on the slave traders while originally there to destroy a droid army being formed--who he reprograms--for the purpose of wiping out the slaves. This is also where Palpatine should have essentially converted him, promising that "in my future slaves will never again be needed or permitted" and then revealing the clones. Ep 3 should have focused on a conflicted Anakin, dealing with what he did on Tatooine, his pledge to help Palpatine, and the eradication of the droid army. With the Jedi trying to get him to stop and swear allegiance to the Order rather than a single man. Padme, pregnant, leaves Anakin because of his Behavior, ambiguity that she and Obi Wan formed a relationship, he "kills" her with the lightsaber (takes off a legs and an arm) he and Obi Wan fight with Obi leaving Anakin for dead. Cut to the end of trilogy, with the vader breath as a background, we see Padme, alive and in a hoverwheelchair or something, looking very worn out, talking with Obiwan and Bail Organa sitting with a couple very young toddlers who are playing, and luke exhibits some force sensitivity by raising a toy nerherder or something, and them saying how having Luke near padme could be dangerous. Obi-wan offers to take him somewhere safe, and Padme starts to cry and agrees, and Leia says "why so sad mommy?" Cut to Darth on the deck, breathing louder, with Palpatine and Tarken watching over the death star beginning its construction. Then, cut to black and end the breathing. Sorry. Kinda rambled there. |

As for your plot idea, that doesn't make sense to me either. Since Leia never really knew her mother's history, there's no reason for her to have a psychotic break. At worse, after learning in Episode VI that her biological father was Vader, she might feel some guilt, but you'd think she would have worked that out in the intervening decades between VI and VII. If not, she'd be living in denial, which many people do, but she wouldn't necessarily want to destroy the galaxy she spent years saving. Another possibility would have been that since "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" that the Rebels who are now governing the galaxy becomes corrupt themselves and Luke and/or Leia feel the need to go after them. Perhaps those rebels even got the aid of new Siths to go after new rebels who oppose the old rebels. As I've posted before, I would have liked to see a plot dealing with the "galaxy" learning that Luke and Leia are Vader's offspring and having them accused of abetting Vader's actions. They have to go into hiding until they can prove otherwise. Maybe the accusations are coming from someone seeking power who is actually a Sith. But if the rumors are correct, Luke does seemingly have some sort of break and succumbs to the Dark Side, which might make for an interesting story, although I think the fans will hate it because they're never going to want to see Luke as a bad guy. Luke was never a complex character before and IMO, they're not going to want to see him that way now. It would have made more sense for Leia to have the complexity - she was always much more of an aggressor and when you think about it, she would be much more likely to have her anger lead to the dark side. |

@Walt
I hope so too because Star Wars is unique from any other films or franchises out there in that it became bigger than it's creator. Not only that but it's own creator came under attack from the fans when he started to trample his own creation. It's bigger than Lucas, and bigger than Disney as well. What they bought want just a movie franchise but the cares of all the many fans out there who love these films so much. It can't be all about the money but that's what 99% of Hollywood is. And Disney, though a mega corporation, has not passed it's profits onto it's customers. Disney merchandise is notoriously expensive. That says something to me. It's just that it can be too much too soon to hear about the new trilogy and then all these leaks about character spin-offs, make it a lot to take in at once. I grew up in the 80's when it was all new and then the long wait for the prequels which, for the most part, didn't live up to their predecessors. Now it's the new trilogy and this, and that and another and it's too much. If they really care about the preservation and integrity of the franchise, why not just stick with the new trilogy for now, pool all their time and resources into that, then see where it goes down the road? Why does it have to be Star Wars overload. News of multiple spin-offs and such. It's that rush of that makes me nervous. I like what I've seen and heard from JJ and company so far. But that's enough. I don't want Star Wars every year or in my face all the time. I don't want to get sick of it till I can't stand it anymore. With so much planned at the same time, it just doesn't sound like care and patience. It's sounds like profits and it will show in the movies. Honestly, I hope you're right about these but I don't think my reservations will go away until the plan is unfolded before us. |

She 'lost the will to live'. I don't like it either but pretending it wasn't written that way is almost as silly as writing it that way in the first place. |

I imagine cell phones and google glasses will be collected at the theater entrance. There's a reason it's only showing in select theaters. Probably ones with enough staff and proper security to ensure no leaks.
