I just can't get enough of a geriatric and a college kid talking tech over each other

[McParadigm]

Han's Luke speech is "pulp book about wizards" terrible. God bless him for how hard he sells it.

[Sgt. Crackpot]

I can't wait to hear your thoughts digm when you get to this scene.

[McParadigm]

My god this movie is in a hurry

[McParadigm]

It just kicked into a Force theme, and I realized how unremarkable the music has been so far.

[McParadigm]

a camera zooms in towards a character so they can ominously say "they're here." What an exciting bit of filmmaking.

[McParadigm]

More movies should do that

My god this movie is in a hurry

It is a bit too quick. Needs just one more beat on all the important scenes. Just a pause


Or paws given the last gif

[McParadigm]

Did that storm trooper have 50 pounds of metal baseball bat tucked in his ass?

[McParadigm]

Now "It's the resistance"

It's nice that they don't trust us to understand what's happening, and always have a character on hand to tell us

[McParadigm]

"The girl I've heard so much about."

Wat

[dimejinky99]

Can't wait til mcp gets to the bridge

[McParadigm]

This is like Star Wars for people who fast forwarded through all the talky bits. It could have just been used as Battlefront cut scenes.

[McParadigm]

Leia looks like David Hasslehoff!!!!'

[dimejinky99]

Do you hate bb8?

"Best of all the films"

[McParadigm]

Acting is good as is always the case for JJ. If these were characters I might like them.

JJ Abrams is set to direct the next Star Wars movie.

The Star Trek helmer will oversee Episode 7 in the sci-fi movie franchise, which was announced last year after Disney acquired Lucasfilm in a multi-billion dollar deal.

The Wrap reports that Argo's Ben Affleck was also in contention for the coveted position, but that Abrams has won the role. An insider also told Deadline: "It's a done deal with JJ."

Abrams had appeared to rule himself out of the running to direct the film in December, citing his commitment to Star Trek.

"There were the very early conversations and I quickly said that because of my loyalty to Star Trek, and also just being a fan [of Star Wars], I wouldn't even want to be involved in the next version of those things," he previously said.

"I declined any involvement very early on. I'd rather be in the audience not knowing what was coming, rather than being involved in the minutiae of making them."

Star Wars Episode 7 - due to be released in 2015 - is being written by Toy Story 3 screenwriter Michael Arndt.

Joss Whedon, Guillermo del Toro, Wes Anderson and Steven Spielberg had all previously ruled themselves out of helming the film, while Zack Snyder was forced to deny that he was prepping a non-trilogy Star Wars film based loosely on Seven Samurai.

Ewan McGregor, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill have expressed a willingness to return to the franchise, with Harrison Ford reportedly hoping to play Han Solo again.

Samuel L Jackson has also expressed his excitement about the new films, and quipped that his character Jedi Master Mace Windu could easily return despite appearing to die in Revenge of the Sith.

"[I'm] totally geeked by the idea of there being more Star Wars," he said. "It's like, okay, Obi-Wan was dead when episode four started, so maybe everyone thinks I'm dead and we'll find out what happened to Mace Windu.

"I can come back as one-armed or a one-handed Jedi that's still around that didn't actually die."

God I hate the generic villains we get in movies these days. Fit throwing, cartoony fist clenching, and we just increase the weapon size to compensate. Like a fat bald guy with a hot rod.

"Scavenger scum."

Oh no
