Star Wars Hype Train (SPOILERS - Beware!!!)

[UndKeineZwEier]

That source doesn't seem all that reliable to me.

I've read pretty much every page of this thread and I just realized I don't even know when this movie comes out.

[UndKeineZwEier]

December, I think.

LOL - apparently Finn really is Lando's son:

► Show Spoiler

that's total disinformation lol. does the age even add up? Lando was like 50 in Jedi and Finn is like what, 20? 25 at the most? plus The Force Awakens is roughly 30-35 years after the Battle Of Endor. plus, what the fuck is he doing joining the First Order in the first place? I thought maybe Ray Sloane was his mom dukes or aunt/great aunt. in the new book "Aftermath" she was the admiral of a Star Destroyer. if Lando is his pop dukes the apple fell very far from the tree, I mean in the new trailer he introduces himself like 30 minutes after meeting her, that's not very smooth of him.

OH SNAP!!!!

I think I'm going to have to pre order tickets if there are any still available.

I like that man!! go get 'em!!! wtf are you waiting for!? after a while due to this onslaught from Lucas Films even casual fans are like "fuck it, I gotta see this shit"

I have not watched the new trailer. From here on out, I'm going to try to avoid all commercials/trailers until I see the film. In other news, we introduced our friend's son to SW for his 5th birthday back in September. He changed his mind on what he wanted to be for halloween. This is the result of that wish....made possible by his parents. Just look at those little feet at the bottom!

that's absolutely awesome. dude you gotta keep watching the clips, I promise you no plot points are being revealed. if anything the more video they show just increases the number of questions being asked. keep the hype train rolling!

[N.Y.H.C.]

even the video game commercials are bad ass!!! check this one out. my jaw dropped open the entire second half.

I know! I've actually been pretty broke from doing other things, but with that out of the way, it's time to get ready for Star Wars! I was initially just going to wait until the frenzy died out, and just go a bunch of times at the matinee. Lol. I'm a fan, but a fan that hates crowds.

The SW fan who got to see the Force Awakens has passed.

I must be one of the only people on the planet, that thinks Star Wars is over-rated

No sir I am right there with you. We might be the only two. Star Wars is incredibly overrated. If it wasn't for Yoda and Vader it would be a complete no fucks given experience on all accounts.

yep, I'm not a massive sci-fi fan in general ... was more interesting to me when I was 8-10 years old, with a budding imagination, but by the time I hit my teens and found drugs, sci-fi no longer served any recreational purpose. Granted I still think Alien is badass, but that's more horror than adventure

[hellboy]

What's really over rated is the need to post on the internet about how much people dislike things that other people like. If you have some kind of ethical concern, then I'm all ears. Otherwise, your opinions are tiresome, off topic and make you appear like the kind of asshole we think Maynard is.

The kind of asshole that drops a stupid amount of money on a piece of art that I couldn't care less about because I know it will make some random dickhead in Australia happy? Guess so.

Now kindly fuck off while pete and I discuss why we think Star Wars is overrated in a Star Wars thread.

Na. Pete and I are Filet Mignon with a loaded Baked potato and a side salad. FTW

You get your ticket yet for opening night Vader?

I mean if yous are talking about the 6 movies as a whole, yeah they can definitely be considered "overrated" because die hard SWs fans eat up a lot that is released. some of it is trash can like the prequels and some of the novels (the ones considered canon). Jedi is a tad overrated but A New Hope and Empire are two of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time. not looking at the special edition edits the special effects are underrated in the original trilogy, I mean when you look at other sci-fi movies from the 70's and 80's they blow almost everything out of the water. the acting in ANH and Empire is exceptionally good for an outer space drama. depends on what you're comparing the entire saga to. I can only guess that you think the hype train is not warranted but allow me to digress...Episode VII could be over hyped but then again you have to wait for the movie to drop first before saying that. the formula is there, it looks great on paper you have to admit Mogula.

put it this way....you've got a very good screen writer in Lawrence Kasdan (Empire, Raiders of the Lost Arc, Silverado) and executive producer Kathleen Kennedy (E.T., Poltergeist, The Goonies). they've been at this for decades.

ILM special effects backed by Disney money. the only way you could screw it up is with an uninspired director and bad casting. JJ, love him or hate him, is an "actors director" not like Lucas was, not even close lol. and about that cast?

you've got (currently) my favorite actor Oscar Isaac ("Inside Llewyn Davis" and the very underrated "A Most Violent Year"), Max Von Sydow (who famously in his career played both Jesus AND the devil lol), a rejuvenated Harrison Ford, creepy ass Adam Driver as your main villain, Gwendolyn Christie (from Game Of Thrones), the brilliant and completely insane Andy Serkis and Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong'o. now that's a recipe for a very good movie.

we will honestly have to wait and see if this argument holds water, but as of right now? it's warranted.
