toodarnhot Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Lupita! Can't wait to see how she does. And I have to saw, watching the trailer in 3D when I saw the Avengers was one of the highlights of going to the theatre. So much more intense that way.

SympathysSilhouette Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Wow, they really photoshopped Carrie Fisher on that poster. She looks like she did during the original trilogy in that shot, as opposed to what she looks like now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael* Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 There's no disputing that Abrams has his critics, but he clearly loves the source material in a way that, ironically, George Lucas doesn't seem to any more. Not as much as he loves his lens flare, mind. Whatever Mark Hamill ends up doing in this, I hope it's more than just a rehash of Obi Wan's role in the original film. It's starting to feel like we're supposed to suspect Luke of being the villain of the piece, although I don't know if I could see that happening, particularly with Adam Driver confirmed to be playing Kylo Ren. My guess is that there'll be a big cheer during the final act when he comes out of hiding to save the day, and a 'phew' moment when we eventually figure out that he's still a good guy.

toodarnhot Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I went to buy my tickets this morning (after technical issues with the site last night) and all the showings on opening day are already sold out. The hype for this movie is real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cult Icon Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 the Hamill thing looks like intentional hype. Do you like the rehashing of decades ago actors- Hamill, Fisher, Harrison? I have seen this act before and I haven't seen it work completely well. The actors seem "off" as they haven't been doing their iconic character for decades (eg. Die Hard, Indiana Jones, or Rocky) and they have aged greatly. It's especially awkward (like in Die Hard) where the actor tries to play the same guy even though decades would change a person, and their iconic image has stuck- thus typecasting their young version. I hate to be negative- but I don't like Abram's directing either. I felt in the past that his directing was too HBO /TV drama series ish and too little of the grandeur of elaborate set pieces. That was the charm of the classic Star Wars. But he's successful even though it always seems that his movies cost-cut. There's no disputing that Abrams has his critics, but he clearly loves the source material in a way that, ironically, George Lucas doesn't seem to any more. Not as much as he loves his lens flare, mind. Whatever Mark Hamill ends up doing in this, I hope it's more than just a rehash of Obi Wan's role in the original film.

Michael* Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Bringing back the old guard always seems fraught with danger, but in this case, I think there are more pros than cons. The oldies don’t have to be (nor should they be) the focus of the new films. The biggest and most vital roles should be given to their children or whoever the main protagonists are, and his handling of Leonard Nimoy's Spock in 'Star Trek' suggests that Abrams understands that. Overall, if they mostly play supporting roles and are included in a way that doesn't feel forced or intrusive, I could see it working out fine.

Cult Icon Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 do you or anything else think the 2 (or 3) leads will work? I have never seen them in anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael* Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I haven't seen Ridley in anything and am only vaguely familiar with Boyega, which I suppose follows the tradition of George Lucas casting relatively unknown actors as lead characters. I’ve no worries about Oscar Isaac though, he was great in Inside Llewyn Davis, A Most Violent Year and Ex Machina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
