Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII
that was great. What's especially funny is what he's saying makes perfect sense! It's one beam split 3 ways not 3 seperate beams! You can't slice through the side beams!

Star Wars technology doesn't always make much sense....except when it accidentally does.

Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII
My God...it all makes sense now!
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII
If you wait long enough, most sci-fi/fantasy technology begins to make sense. Or at least it seems that way if you're nerdy (or high) enough.

Those rumors sound pretty good..

So who will Max von Sydow's character be?
Mostly cyborg. Big revelation on the third act, but not earth-shattering. Not villain, not good guy. Sith connections. Existing character from prequel trilogy, but not Boba Fett, Darth Maul, or Mace Windu.
Who else is there? Dooku? Would they recast the character while Lee is still alive? With cyborg it would be enough for Lee to do the voice. General Grievious? Definately not earth-shattering revelation if its either one of them.
Trying to think of other significant, but not too significant, PT characters.. How about Bail Organa? Would definately have a reason to protect Leia's daughter, basically his grand daughter. But he probably wouldnt have Sith connections unless its something to do with how he survived the Death Star.

Gotta love how people never miss a chance to slam Abrams.
After a near decade of abuse, if I was Abrams, I'd essentially do what Orci did and tell the haters to fuck off.

I'm taking it with a huge grain of salt, but that does sound potentially amazing.

If even half of those details end up being accurate, this could be the greatest Star Wars movie in at least 35 years.

I totally agree. Those were very exciting spoilers. I really, REALLY want them to be true. The movie the spoilers described sounds awesome, and it would definitely be a worthy sequel.

Star Wars sounds mysterious, menacing and exciting again. It's been a while.

Agreed. For all of the JJ haters I think he'll deliver a solid film - especially since Kasdan wrote it. At this point I think at least for me is to keep my expectations reasonable.
Last weekend for example, I was horribly disappointed in Mockingjay - went in with super high expectations and was bored and devastated by the films end result.

Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII
I don't think I've ever been so hyped for Star Wars movies. I got to see the prequels in theaters, but I was a little over 8 1/2 when TPM came out, so while I liked SW my Nerdiness hadn't risen to the level to appreciate it as the event it was. After that movie, I wasn't super excited for the other prequels after TPM, for obvious reasons. But, now I'm an adult nerd and huge SW fan, and there looks to be a SW movie that's going to live up to the original trilogy coming out in a year. Its a great (but also painfully slow ) time to be Star Wars fan.

Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII
There IS some really cool stuff in there, but it also sounds like every story rumor we've heard so far crammed together into one package, with a lot of other stuff guessed at from the concept art.
And there are some things, like a certain new feature on Chewie, that were part of the original concept but apparently dropped from the final film. Which makes me wonder if any of this is truly legit.
