When I was his age I used to watch Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi every weekend without fail. Call it obsessive/addictive personality, but I've not been as hooked on any films as much as those. I still get goosebumps when the second Death Star blows up.

So the Title of EP7 is "The force awakens". Not sure how I feel about it tbh and about what it implies.
This might be a long shot, but i'm thinking the plot might have something to do with the awakening of the force back in the galaxy.So the Title of EP7 is "The force awakens". Not sure how I feel about it tbh and about what it implies.
It's difficult to predict anything from the title. Still very interesting to see who is the baddie. There were quite a few rumours that it might be Darth Plagueis.So the Title of EP7 is "The force awakens". Not sure how I feel about it tbh and about what it implies.
It was never asleep. Just that the dark force dominated.This might be a long shot, but i'm thinking the plot might have something to do with the awakening of the force back in the galaxy.

Random unlikely theory - a 'force' (species/militarily) awakens from outside the known galaxies and threatens invasion.
As I say, not likely at all. Fun to speculate though.

Yep, they decanonized everything bar the movies and TV shows. Wankers, the lot of them.@Revan I thought they were disregarding all the Expanded Universe stuff and just making up their own shit?

Has it been said yet if the younger actors are going to play their kids?
I reckon it'll be along those lines, and the kids have to save the day. A bit like Jedi Academy I suppose, where Luke sets it up. Proper disney stuff.

"Han, tell them all about the time you didn't take any shit from Greedo."
Would be terrible.
It hasn't been said anything for that. I just wonder if that really happens, if they will use the names from EU or will call everyone Nomi Sunrider.Has it been said yet if the younger actors are going to play their kids?

Never watched any star wars but wanted to for the last few years...simply forgotten about it lately. I'm not a sci-fi fan, but the movies being so highly rated i guess i have to see them.

Well I don't know any extended universe stuff outside of Kotor and the Jedi Knight games.It hasn't been said anything for that. I just wonder if that really happens, if they will use the names from EU or will call everyone Nomi Sunrider.
I just wouldn't put it past them.

Regarding the EU, didn't they say they may use some parts of it and put their own spin on it. I'm thinking if we see Han and Leia's kids they'll probably resemble Jacen and Jaina.

Watch Episode 1 first. It's the best oneNever watched any star wars but wanted to for the last few years...simply forgotten about it lately. I'm not a sci-fi fan, but the movies being so highly rated i guess i have to see them.
Haven't heard about it. It will be bad if they use them though, by the time of the movie (35-40 years after ROTJ) both Anakin and Jacen Solo are already killed. So, from all Skywalker new generation we only have Ben Skywalker and Jaina Solo.Regarding the EU, didn't they say they may use some parts of it and put their own spin on it.

Yeah I think they'll stray as far as possible from big plot points/events in the EU but I do think they'll still employ elements such as looks and what not. Daisy Ridley does have the same features as Jaina IMO.Haven't heard about it.

Anyway, the trailer is airing in select cinemas in the US this Friday. No word if the UK gets anything or if we'll have to wait till it shows up online.

This.Because they're pretty much the best thing ever and if you don't like them you should do the world a favour and kill yourself with immediate effect.

I dont think they will, after the way the other 3 got slated, I think they will do a good job, cant wait.Trailer is said to debut this weekend at selected cinema's. One half of me is excited and the other half is afraid they'll cock it up.
Does anyone pay money and/or go to cinema in order to watch the trailer? If yes, why?
As long as they don't touch Thrawn Trilogy (and things that happened before the movies) it will be acceptable for me.Yeah I think they'll stray as far as possible from big plot points/events in the EU but I do think they'll still employ elements such as looks and what not.

does it matter , if you like Star Wars you like them all.This
edit: we're talking about Episodes IV-VI right? The new movies were terrible
But on saying that the second trilogy is pretty poor.
I really hope the trailer gives us a good look at whatever character Adam Driver is playing. I've got really high hopes for him.

Loved to death the first lot as a kid, and will still watch now, the second batch I really have no time for or interest in, they were crap.does it matter , if you like Star Wars you like them all.

Stop it, I know you like the new ones. You have said so before. I also like them, I can't help it even though they are pretty badYou monsters! The second trilogy was better than the original one. And Jar Jar Binks is a better character than Han Solo.
And episode 7 will be my most anticipated movie since....well episode 3

I actually kind of want it to be really terrible, just because of how much it'd infuriate everyone. It'd bring more entertainment value than a half decent effort, for example.
I thought the gleeson kid already said that he will play ben skywalkerRegarding the EU, didn't they say they may use some parts of it and put their own spin on it. I'm thinking if we see Han and Leia's kids they'll probably resemble Jacen and Jaina.
So, if he's in it..
I reckon this one has more chance of being better than the last 3 combinedI actually kind of want it to be really terrible, just because of how much it'd infuriate everyone. It'd bring more entertainment value than a half decent effort, for example.

I was kinda hoping they did that actually, but the latest news with them basically scrapping all the books & comics to make way for a new unified Expanded Universe makes me suspect otherwise.Does anyone pay money and/or go to cinema in order to watch the trailer? If yes, why?

By not touch, I meant not change things that happened there. Of course, I would have liked to see the movies being based on it, but they made it clear that it won't happen.I was kinda hoping they did that actually, but the latest news with them basically scrapping all the books & comics to make way for a new unified Expanded Universe makes me suspect otherwise.

Ah yes, I agree. Thrawn Trilogy was the first experience I had with the expanded universe and changing stuff in there would be a real shame.By not touch, I meant not change things that happened there. Of course, I would have liked to see the movies being based on it, but they made it clear that it won't happen.
Also, for historical reasons, it would be extremely a bad thing to do it. Without it, I guess that Star wars would have died on the nineties.Ah yes, I agree. Thrawn Trilogy was the first experience I had with the expanded universe and changing stuff in there would be a real shame.
And of course, it is as good as most of fantasy books.

The third one could maybe have been good if Annakin's acting didn't make him seem more like a robot than any of the actual robots.I reckon this one has more chance of being better than the last 3 combined
Although there's only so much that good acting can do to cover up going from being a Jedi to a child slaughterer in the space of 2 minutes.
I thought the 3rd one was so silly. The end fight in the lava just annoyed the hell out of me. The second one was the best out of the lot and even that was pretty dull for the opening 30mins or so and had the horrible "love" scenes.The third one could maybe have been good if Annakin's acting didn't make him seem more like a robot than any of the actual robots.

And the fact that the actor was actually made of wood

Stupidly excited. Just wondering.. anyone remember the mmorpg star wars galaxies? There's an emulator of the game and I play on a private server bloodfin. Don't know if anyone knew about it or interested
