I saw the trailer and it does look like a mess. The movie is a prequel about the rebels who steal the plans to the death star. The lead character is a James Dean Rebel without a Cause type girl who is anti social and fights everyone. In other words, if I drew up a list of people who I would pick to lead a super secret, critically important mission, she would be last. In fact she would be the expendable decoy.
They'd better get started replacing all those dead jedi kids from the temple (cue rap music)
Exactly right.
How about Finn saying, “I have had one MESSED up day!”
What’s with the Mad Max look?
Love star wars, but not a dime from me for disney. They can market their films in india, where their new it staff that displaced American workers in America, is from.
Come to think of that, displacing workers, that sounds romneyesque.
Your post made me realize that Snook is Trump! /joke
IOW, it was probably so darn good that Disney felt the need to put their fingerprints on it to make it more family-friendly.
Yup, only 2 1/2 “good” star wars movies.
Exactly correct.
And that’s why they’re changing it. When you get past all the breathless love of insisting everything is going to be a disaster all that’s really going on is he hewed further away from the standard look and feel of Star Wars movies and they’re bringing it in closer. Lightening the tone, tweaking the look. Makes sense really, the rumor is that the end of this movie is basically 10 minute before Ep 4, so the look and feel really can’t deviate that much, especially not in this home media age when you know a good chunk of the audience will be watching the two back-to-back.
Heretic!
These movies basically are telling white guys to eff off, we don’t want you anymore.
JJ Binks just comfirmed it for me.
As long as I have the same equal freedom, fine by me. I just wont be hypocritical about it.
He forgets Luke was hot for Leia. No gay man pines sexually over a woman.
Saw the preview and was not impressed. Seemed dumb.
Well, yes.
God help us.
It's in total skullf*** reshoot turnaround too. Focused as bad as Star Wars Rogue POS.
Also don't forget that they're using environmentally
friendly energy and voting for Bernie.
And one of them will be getting a gender adjustment.
