Star Wars: Episode VII: The Nerd Rage Awakens

Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII

Why does this stuff fill me with such joy?

Is my life that empty?

Meh. Who cares.... bring on more leaks. I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE!!!!
 
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII

It's like I'm an elementary school kid again.

My dad didn't live long enough to see the Prequel Trilogy and my mom passed away before she could share the experiences of new Star Wars films with Luke, Han and Leia in them. When Episode VII premieres I'll be watching it with both of them in my hearts and thanking them for encouraging and sharing my love for that universe and other science fiction and fantasy worlds when I was growing up.

They'll be in my hearts. And knowing my trips to the theater, there'll be way too many Sour Patch Kids and Skittles in my belly.
 
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII

And now there's a chrome Stormtrooper that can turn invisible as well? Hot damn, we're just learning about all kinds of cool stuff today!
 
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII

Holy crap, that second picture is an elderly Malcolm Reynolds! :p

Nope, that second one is Deckard from Bladerunner.


Seeing the pic of Han made me think of Ford in Blade Runner first, a movie that to me may just be a physical manifestation of boredom in film form :lol: I like the Mal Reynolds comparison much better :techman: I actually like the look, and I hope we see it in the movie.
 
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII

Wow, almost too much stuff to process right now. Luke on Ackbar's planet, cyborg Inquisitors, flashbacks with Vader and young Leia...

What's next, a leak of the script itself? Lol
 
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII

It's a great time to be a Star Wars fan, isn't it?
 
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII

Well, I'm kind of hoping we don't get Luke having been gone for 30 years, but besides that a lot of the rumors are pretty interesting, especially the young Leia/Vader flashbacks rumor. It would be nice to see a bit more Vader, especially outside of the context of the prequels. Even just one flashback could probably capture some of the awesomeness of OT Vader.
 
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII

They fused Mal Reynolds and Han Solo together and created pure awesome.
 
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII

Mal was already a bit Soloish.

Fillion would have been a good recast for Han.
 
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII

And now this Sith Inquisitor info....all on the sixth anniversary of the theatrical release of the Clone Wars movie. It's one of the busiest and most exciting days to be a fan in ages.
 
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII

Mal was already a bit Soloish
Yeah, hence my comment. The long brown coat instantly made me think of Mal, even if it might have been unintentional. I prefer to imagine it's just bringing everything full circle. ;)
 
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII

Where are the Young Leia/Vader rumor and thing about bronze troopers?
As for the other rumors, I really hope the one about Luke being held captive for 30 years is BS. I was really hoping that the three heroes would have worked together for the past 30 years to help rebuild the universe, and that Luke would be training new Jedi. I'm really hoping they don't have them go their separate ways right after RotJ.
I really like the new Stormtrooper helmet, it feels like a great evolution of the OT helmets.

Just read about the Vader/Young Leia stuff. It could be interesting if it's true.

Whether Luke's been a captive for three hours, three days, three weeks or whatever it to believe it'd take any time at all to free himself or be dead by now. And the stormtrooper helmet looks even more restrictive than the old ones did, they'll still be able to hit anything.
 
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII

Hopefully in the flashback it's the badass ANH Vader we see and not the skinny ROTS version.

And while I like the general idea of the Inquisitors, it does seem a bit weird to go back and rewrite the history of the earlier movies and the Sith like they are.
 
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII

Hurum. Interesting. The question is, is he just a Maul, or is he around for all three?
