The first 9 minutes is a wash, so I linked to the part where it starts getting good.

If you’ll forgive the mixed franchise metaphor, prising Star Wars: Episode VII information from J. J. Abrams is like trying to lift the Arkenstone from under Smaug’s nose. It’s a kind and gentler experience, and much less likely to lead to incineration, but as The Daily Telegraph can attest, equally challenging.

In an interview to promote his book project / faux artefact S, the director-writer-producer stressed that he’s still “not a 3D fanatic” but “understood why it was important to the studio” to release Star Trek Into Darkness in the format, and hinted at a more conventional promotional campaign than those he’s previously overseen for Cloverfield, Super 8 and that Star Trek sequel. “Star Wars is in every way a different animal,” he said. “It’s always been a more open, fan-engaged universe than I’ve been used to, so I’m sure there’ll be some sort of compromise.”

Abrams admitted that his experiences with you-know-who on Star Trek Into Darkness would guide his hand when it came to throwing out Star Wars curveballs. “We were trying to preserve the unexpected for the audience”, he explained of Benedict Cumberbatch’s big bad, “but it came across as if we were trying to be too clever”.

But, Abrams emphasised, don’t expect him to throw open the curtains – and the windows of his pre-production office are currently blacked out – and let everyone peek inside his treasure trove. “It feels to me like there’s a purity in not knowing every little thing.”

Star Wars: Episode VII gets underway at Pinewood this spring and will be on our screens in all its glory on December 18, 2015.

Nailed it. Good for him.

I agree with all of this, methinks. But I'm also glad that Abrams is directing the Star Wars movies.

How terrible is this going to be?

How terrible is this going to be?

For me it is still up in the air. Debatable how bad it is going to be. However, i know for certain that once the opening credits roll and the music comes crashing in - I will most likely get pretty excited about it.

Strat. Sad news.

It won't be the 20th century fox declamatory big intro. It'll be the effing Disney twinkley castle logo.

The intro is ruined already.

And as goes the intro, so goes the film.


Woe is me!!

*swoon*

*unless they get Ryan gosling to play Luke's son. Then all will be balanced in the force.

They will still have the scrolling opening credits and theme music though.

Dumbed down and in text speak and the kidney mouse logo subliminally traced out in the stars in the background.


AND!! As with the surreptitious placement of ET in the prequels, Goofy or one of his race will be wandering around probably as a main character.

Oh the horror

I am expecting this to be good, and will be disappointed if it isn't.

By good I mean enjoyable and entertaining. I am not expecting these movies to be anywhere close to the original trilogy in terms of its importance or cultural footprint or anything like that. But those movies are basically our Iliad and Odyssey
