Beat me to it :/
This looks pretty awesome! I have always had a severe love relationship with starwars. Even though the first one is bad, I still like watching it. 3-6 are just amazing though. 2 is lovey dovey and is a nice change in pace.
Can't wait to go and see this.
I know it's just a teaser, but I don't feel excited as I thought I would be! :frown:
How?! The teaser makes it look like they took the best parts from all the movies and made a new one out of it :lol:
after what abrams did to star trek i'm very careful but maybe he proves me wrong :happy:
Am I the only one that doesn't mind the new star trek?
I quite enjoyed the alternate universe spin. At least it explains why so much shit is different in a logical way, unlike all the other movie remakes.
That would probably make it weird ..... I think.
Got me a bit more excited!
Hhaha the last part of this new teaser is awesome "Chewy, We're Home"
the cgi looks average/adequate, the new characters look way too young for such roles (more YA actors, child-like warriors), the old characters are obviously there for promotional purposes (similar to what was done in hobbit) - not sure how is all this going to be better than the last 2 major flops of this franchise
Last 2? Ep1 was way way way worse than ep3
ep1 got a lot of flak because it wasn't able to recreate a similar atmosphere as the earlier trilogy, but i thought it was pretty decent in many aspects:
- mcgregor & neeson duo - good chemistry/relationship
- the sith duo - pretty cool opponents
- portman queen - afaik more interesting here than in those forced/unconvincing romantic attempts later on
problematic aspects:
- episodic scenes, lacking character or atmospheric build-up
- jar jar binks - annoying or silly (but silliness was present in earlier episodes too: jabba, wookie, ewoks, blue elephants, r2d2 & c3po duo, etc.)
- dummy opposing droids/soldiers (was present in earlier episodes too)
- pod race, child driver, average action, politics,...
later episodes got progressively worse: over-cgi-ed, lacking charismatic individuals to carry the story, forgettable contents, lacking atmosphere and inspiration
neeson is a really really bad actor though :/
and the world would have been a better place without jar jar. God he's horrible.
I did enjoy the race and the droids though (esp since they kept doing them that way in the cartoons), but that was only a small part of it imho.
also, someone might be interested in this collection:

i'll use the titles from two relatively funny & negative imdb reviews:
'JarJarAbrams is the Sith who destroyed the Star Wars franchise'
'You thought prequels were bad? That Star Wars cant get any worse? You. Were. WRONG!'
Spoiler 2 imdb reviews:
additionally, not sure why anyone has high hopes for a 7th/n-th part of a movie franchise, the majority of these simply cannot recreate the atmosphere/feeling of the original(s)
as expected, young actors made a very amateurish impression: rey (trying to look tough, displaying that british accent, running around like a child/girl), finn (constantly confused, mouth-wide-open look), kylo (next time don't remove the mask!), solo (sleepwalking), leia (did not improve her already weak acting/stares 30+ years later), luke (say something... anything!), sith lord (and what did he display other than his gollum-like looks?), pilot poe (as if he stepped out of a bad italian horror movie from the 80's) - the only good actor was the ever-dependable chewbacca
attempts at humor mostly failed, chemistry as well (solo/leia searching for the spark, rey/finn unconvincing/forced relationship), dialogue was painfully simplistic, cgi was pretty good, writing was pathetic (including unbelievable amounts of copy/pasted material, scenes and sets from previous movies), making the movie hard to digest with so much nonsense going on - but seems none of it prevented the movie from landing around #100 of the top 250 imdb movies
may the force be with you? is there a situation where the force is not with you? if by 'the force' was meant the power or energy of the universe, is there a place in the universe where there is no power/energy? if by 'the force' was meant god, is there a place in the universe where god is not with you? if by 'the force' was meant great power, what would you do with it? force things your way?
