ViralOblivion: J.j. Abrams Directing Star Wars Episode 7

ViralOblivion 01.25.13	Ill remain cautiously optimistic
oltnabrick 01.25.13	interesting
sixdegrees 01.25.13	i'll accept that it's not going to be a classic and expect a pretty fun movie.

Polyethylene 01.25.13	Hmm... I expect a fun, slick, stylish popcorn flick getting something around 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. I also expect it to not really feel like Star Wars, in the way that Skyfall didn't feel that much like a Bond movie.
ViralOblivion 01.25.13	Well it's nearly impossible to capture that lightning in a bottle again with the originals it'll be better than the prequels that's all that matters
Calc 01.25.13	i feel im gonna steer clear of any lists on this site the week after it comes out. and I'll love the movie.
Storm In A Teacup 01.25.13	I don't care who directs it as long as the story comes from the books. It's be great to see the Yuuhzon Vong war as a trilogy or Jacen Solo's rise to the dark side.
Polyethylene 01.25.13	Aren't the Star Wars post-Jedi books infamously terrible?
ViralOblivion 01.25.13	Nah some of them are great but if you're saying that if its a original story you'll hate it, then that's fucking stupid
Nikkolae 01.25.13	i'll accept that it's not going to be a classic and expect a pretty fun movie. [2]
Storm In A Teacup 01.25.13	No viral I'll like them either way but I've read about half the Star Wars books that are after the Episode 6 storyline and they are great. Broke my heart when Chewbacca and Anakin Solo each die.
skoopy48 01.25.13	Anakin Skywalker: You are so... beautiful. Padmé: It's only because I'm so in love. Anakin Skywalker: No, it's because I'm so in love with you. Padmé: So love has blinded you? Anakin Skywalker: [laughs] Well, that's not exactly what I meant. Padmé: But it's probably true. If it means no more shit dialogue like that then count me in
ViralOblivion 01.25.13	All the solo kids die or turn to the darkside one or the other lol but yea chewies death was sad but man the outcome of his death led to such a genuine great story with great development
ViralOblivion 01.25.13	Lets not forget the famous line "I wish I could just wish my feelings away" WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!?!?!?!?
Polyethylene 01.25.13	Anakin's rant about sand tops all else
Trebor17 01.25.13	The writer they got is amazing so yeah
kingsoby1 01.25.13	The best post episode VI novels are the Timothy Zahn ones... he's really the only writer out the lot that was talented
Storm In A Teacup 01.25.13	Damn Jaina dies? I have only read the first couple books in the latest storyline saga.
JWT155 01.25.13	As if Star Trek and Star Wars fans needed another reason to hate each other more.
kingsoby1 01.25.13	i remember reading vector prime and shedding a tear when chewie died. what a baby :[
zxlkho 01.25.13	I expect lens flares lots of lens flares
Trebor17 01.25.13	aaaaaand we went 21 comments before a lens flare comment folks, I never thought we'd make it that far congratulations everybody great work all around
zxlkho 01.25.13	:)
zxlkho 01.25.13	but seriously I think JJ Abrams is a pretty good pick. He's obviously a fan of the series and will probably actually put work into it, unlike George Lucas. The Disney sale left me with a bit of an empty feeling, but I honestly think the series will be alright in Abrams' hands.
Storm In A Teacup 01.25.13	@king I shed a tear when Anakin S. and Chewie died so I'm prolly the bigger baby
toxin. 01.25.13	gonna be better than the shitty prequels no George Lucas = good
toxin. 01.25.13	also the Toy Story 3 writer is on board? fuck yes
Trebor17 01.25.13	He wrote Little Miss Sunshine too, he's really great at writing characters that feel like real people, which was the biggest thing lacking with the prequels
balazs 01.25.13	I need my lens flares
Trebor17 01.25.13	I'm so stoked for Star Trek Into Darkness holy fuck It kind of sucks that regular plebs can get into Star Trek now though (hipster problems)
kingsoby1 01.25.13	^ star trek > all
kingsoby1 01.25.13	also disney buying lucasfilm is the best thing that could have happened for star wars. disney makes consistently great films
Trebor17 01.25.13	I get a lot more out of Star Trek yeah, still love both so whatever
kingsoby1 01.25.13	tng is so good
ViralOblivion 01.25.13	Well it's crazy the things we could get with Disney buying Star Wars Video games TV shows ( Disney owns abc so it's possible) Movies not related to the trilogy Star Wars characters in Kingdom Hearts games
kingsoby1 01.25.13	Star Wars characters in Kingdom Hearts games
Storm In A Teacup 01.25.13	In a galaxy far far away... a mouse discovers the force.
sideburndude 01.25.13	could possibly maybe perhaps be good
evilford 01.25.13	CHEWIE DIES??????????? :'( He's my favorite. Next av is reserved for my man chewie
klap 01.25.13	the thrawn trilogy is so good
ViralOblivion 01.25.13	Chewie dies with dignity tho he doesn't go out like a bitch like every other character in Star Wars
DamnVanne 01.26.13	Abrams is a solid director, but where is the screenplay coming from?
andcas 01.26.13	is this rumor or fact?
ViralOblivion 01.26.13	Fact
ViralOblivion 01.26.13	Disney released an official announcement
toxin. 01.26.13	Did he write Super 8? Because that was kinda bad
ViralOblivion 01.26.13	He's not writing it so it really doesn't matter
andcas 01.26.13	I feel like he desperately wants to write like whedon and direct like spielberg.
ViralOblivion 01.26.13	And yea he wrote it
ViralOblivion 01.26.13	He's much better off with his usual writers like Alex kurtzman and Robert orci who usually write everything for him
toxin. 01.26.13	Yeah okay then he's probably not that great of a writer. And I know it doesn't matter. I was just curious.
Trebor17 01.26.13	I still can't believe those dudes "wrote" Transformers yeesh
