I like how Lucas got all the original series cast members to sign away their likeness for merchandizing reasons.

They should hype all the prequels but then actually show Space Balls in all the theaters.

I'm still calling it that you don't see Luke as he dies at the end setting up the black dude to take over from him.
Luke Space Ghost grinning like a retard, then lens flare, then credits.

It actually ends with the black guy getting pulled over for having a broken tail light on his landspeeder.

the minute the trailer started I busted out laughing, the cliche piano note that so many trailers start with now was so glaring for a star wars movie.

a trailer designed to took at the heart strung of star wars nerds craving a sad predictable plot.

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.

Darth Vader was fool of poo poo, blowing up a whole planet is more cool than the force.

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.

Khan is badass since he killed lots of klingon scum using a laser minigun.

Also the perfect human is some weird pale brit guy.

Why are you guys all on some 'oh the originals were art but these ones will just be passable' crap?

The originals were pew pew space lasers with the most generic Hero's Journey plot possible. It's not like some crazy high bar was set aside from all the fan hype and crap.

nerd nostalgia I guess

Also when the movies came out people had never seen effects that good for things such as the death star suicide mission.

literally the most generic hero's journey possible, bc lucas read the pop theory version of it and decided to write a story that matched it in every particular

Plus it cribbed lots of ideas and characters from superior Japanese films.

the prequels aged worse SFX wise than the originals.

Seems plausible since he got tons of help on the ESB screenplay

It was also the best once since he had less involvement with it.

The prequels are pretty much what you get when you combine his off the wall director personality with no one telling him no.

It could literally be a floppy dick wriggling around to the star wars music and you would still have nerds defending it.

There's also a good reason why Disney paid 5 billion for the IP.

i'm also struggling to figure out what is "bad" or "dumb" about a floppy dick wriggling to the star wars music, i am pretty sure that's a shoo-in for MOMA

Maybe that russian pirate guy do another helicopter dick video after the new film gets released?
