Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:I don't even understand what an Episode VII would entail. It's not like the Sith are around anymore. Unless this is addressed in EU. I read one of those books in like 5th grade and it was okay I guess. I would loving surprised if these new movies gave any more than 1% of a poo poo about the EU. They are going to be made to appeal to as many as people as possible. Pacifying EU fans is low priority.

If Abrams is directing then its pretty much given that Michael Giacchino will be scoring. I'm okay with this.

I think it has a guarantee not to suck. It might not be great. But the current talent behind it as it stands at least will make it a fun watch.

FWIW I'm really happy with almost every decision made with this movie so far, but I almost wish someone else besides John Williams was chosen to do the score. Like Spielberg and Willams, Nolan and Zimmer, you would almost expect that Michael Giacchino would have been brought on a JJ Abrams film, he is essentially a John Williams styled composer in any case. I'm guessing the only reason they didn't go with him is because Williams is still alive and "we might as well"

When I asked him to clarify what he meant by it he said I should "Stop being so butthurt about people not liking the trailer".

He did say that Boyega popping up looked like something out of Scary Movie. EDIT: Honestly I think I understand what he means by it. But I still think its a great shot, even if it doesn't make it into the final cut. iSheep fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Nov 29, 2014 |

Steve2911 posted:Not really. He has a pretty genuinely horrified/exhasperated expression on his face and he's panting like gently caress. The only slightly comical bit is the way he pops up out of the bottom of the screen. And it's not like Star Wars has been void of slapstick comedy. But I get it now: Star Wars fans hate Star Wars.

Ross posted:I agree. Some of the special effects from the original ANH are super-dated if you see it now and there are a few places where the updates are an improvement (e.g. the lightsabers look a lot better) but overall it's an odd mix at best. The mixed effects scenes look good. But the stampede scene has not aged well.

Tusen Takk posted:So since I've seen a few people bashing Abrams, in everyone's wildest wet dreams, who would YOU have had directing SWTFA instead of Abrams? I think JJ is a great choice, but Chris Nolan could have been amazing as well since he seems to be better with dark themes and after Interstellar, it's safe to say that he knows how to make a space movie with lots of CGI done well etc etc. The only answer is David Fincher.

Re: Rian Johnson If you guys don't think the reason Disney hired him was so they could have a bright eyed up and coming director they could push around and manipulate then welp. See example: The Marvel films.

CelticPredator posted:True. That's why Guardians was manipulated as hell and didn't at all resemble a James Gunn film. Or that Iron Man 3 movie that wasn't anything like a Shane Black movie. Yet Edgar Wright backed out of Ant-Man because he wasn't going to get to direct the type of movie he wanted because it wasn't part of the Marvel Universe Vision©. And he's not the only example of someone exiting due to studio interference. Rian Johnson has arguably just one box office hit and directed a couple of episodes of Breaking Bad. At what point do you see those and think that he would be a good candidate for Star Wars? JJ Abrams has enough clout to tell people to gently caress off. Rian Johnson does not, hes fresh faced and eager to please. But now the rumors that are popping up about JJ's movie being a rehash, maybe that isn't even the case. iSheep fucked around with this message at 08:24 on Feb 6, 2015 |

CelticPredator posted:Because he can tell a good, well rounded story and has a very, very strong visual pallet where he can most likely draw iconic images that will stick with us just as much as the original did. Looper's cinematography was solid for sure, for some reason it kind of stressed me out and I need to watch again to pinpoint why. But even if he has control visually, it still doesn't guarantee that there won't be meddling with the finer details. I can't imagine that they are gonna let him pen the movies himself, for example. I don't think the movies are going to be terrible because Rian Johnson is helming, in fact I don't expect them to be. But he was a safe choice for Disney, so to speak.
