It's just so fucking true.

I mean, I get not liking Abrams. But I don't get not thinking the man takes pretty pictures. For all the reasons to hate Star Trek (for example), 'it's not beautiful' shouldn't be one of them.
Just in case anyone hasn't read this yet:

And just to weigh in, I guess I'm in the camp that doesn't care about the lens flare thing. Honestly maybe I'm blind or something, but it doesn't really register very heavily with me. Superficially I know they're there, and I suppose if I sit there looking for them I'd notice them easily...I guess I'm just usually thinking about the movie and not the shot.

Other than that she's an overwrought mess of an actress and doesn't deserve to be in these.

She's firmly part of Hayden Christensen territory.
She is waaay better than Hayden...wayyyy better.

My dog in a Jedi cape would be better than Hayden. He's not a scale we should measure by but she's right down there in his level of awful as an 'actor'

Let's wait for her role in the film before deciding that.

Really? I think he played that perfectly. I know it's ingrained but I can't imagine anyone else doing it or a different way you can handle his role

i was joking..i love Mark. And yeah Hayden is, perhaps, one of the worst actors from his generation, if not the worst.

It's so sad. What a wasted opportunity. If they had gotten a really great young actor in for that part who played it convincingly, he could have carried the whole show. He's the biggest flaw in all the sequels outside the politics in the first one

Yes, he is horrible, but im blaming Lucas in the direction. Those "love" scenes from episode 2 were so poorly written and directed, even Natalie Portman sucked in those.

If they keep their hands off like they did when they bought Marvel, it'll be fine.
Don't mind them looking to squeeze as much merch from it as possible but leave the film making and everything that goes with that, to the production crews.

It's still gonna look and sound too clean cos ILM are still involved but if the story is great I can live with it.

Irvin Kershner and Lawrence Kasdan were the greatest things that ever happened to Star Wars. Disney, so far, is just A thing that happened to Star Wars.
