in Empire at War (rts game) Darth Vader had a special ability called 'Force Crush' that would lift vehicles into the air and compact them like a junkyard crusher. It was pretty badass. Luke is just a bitch.

Size means nothing to the force.

i could never understand why vader went around force choking instead of force crushing people's head...

Real talk: jayjaybrams last StarTrek was hella dumb. Fun. But dumb. MORE LIKE BROTREK! HIGHFIVE!!!!!!!

Get ready for Luke to jump in and go "aw poo poo, you'd think I'd miss this party?" Then he bro-arm-shakes hansolo and shoots lasers and poo poo.

Seriously.

that would be better than a lot of possible alternatives.

I just saw an X-Wing do a strafing run on some stormtroopers.

I cant decide if this was the dumbest or coolest thing Star Wars ever had.
Tie Fighters and X-Wings duking it out in atmoshperic environment is pretty much causing parts of my brain to shut down, which on the other hand might come in handy during the movie...

I think Han Solo is going to die in Episode VII. He's featured pretty prominently in this trailer as a source of exposition, so I think he's filling a "wise old mentor" role in this film. Stories with mentor characters need to establish the reason why such a wise and powerful figure can't save the day for the main protagonists at the climax, and being dead is one good reason to not be around to help. It's what happened to Obi-Wan in the first movie! Furthermore, Harrison Ford has hated Star Wars for a long time and wanted his character to be killed off in Return of the Jedi. He probably leaped at the chance to kill off Han Solo once and for all in Episode VII.

almost certainly correct

maybe now that disney owns star wars they'll offer rereleases of the original theatrical cuts of episodes 4-6, knowing that 30-somethings will pay lots of money to buy ANOTHER official copy of star wars + express their rejection of the 1997 re-releases through their wallets!!

the prequels are not offensively bad on their own merit. they are very bad, few will deny that; but what makes them truly monstrous is that they revealed to us that star wars was, at its best, merely good, and was more usually mediocre to bad.

what we learned was that when someone has become too powerful for editorial control, it usually ends in disaster.

i watched terminator 2 DC recently and every "added" scene detracted from the film.

george lucas got to make 3 films worth of director's cut, and we learned over and over, for eight-something hours, that everything good about star wars was owed either to (a) the energy of its vision or (b) people telling GL no. (also (c) the physical limitation of SFX at the time.)

we have had a long time to recover from that shock. we are no longer innocent.

jj will benefit greatly from this. few will go in thinking "star wars is inviolate, do not destroy my dreams." instead they will think "there is an earthly star wars, contained in the movies, and a heavenly star wars, contained in my heart, and i can enjoy the imperfections of the former without damaging the latter."
