I don't understand dime's dislike for this movie. As a Star Wars fan, I thought he would be really excited. It is weird, really.
Yeah, me too. It's really strange.

Rey is an outstanding character and frankly one of my favorite characters in the Star Wars canon, so far. But there is more than enough room for Felicity Jones, who is outstanding actress, and looks like she's going to hit this out of the park.
If she ends up being in tuned with the force, is LV going to shit his pants?

They can always bring the genius behind Dreamcatcher in to rewite.
You're making my point for me, champ. And I fully expect this film to receive the same level of McP insight and attention that TFA got. Nothing less will suffice.

Why are you being so judgey about this, dime?

Did they not film in Ireland or something so you're bitter?

Haha!
No I'm just skeptical about all of it. There's a good premise but Edwards is a hack imo and it's really relieving not to feel much engagement or excitement about it. I will down the line probably. But this is cash cow fan fiction. That's all. Hard to muster up much enthusiasm for that just now.
That seem harsh.

Is it just Edwards that has you put off here? Is there another story you would want to see told that doesn't directly revolve around any of the main characters from the OT? What if Abrams was directing this? Would you still be calling it fan fiction?

Tbh it's simply cos LV is excited about it :haha:

Honestly though I don't have to like everything from that universe just cos it's based there.
They'll do their best to make this great and any future stand alones even being mad depends on the success of this one.

I'm just not that bothered about it right now.

Pablo hidalgo(the guy in charge of the SW universe and all canon) just tweeted this

Am I remembering it right that in Dark Forces stealing the DS plans is literally the easiest level? Like, the intro tutorial, basically?

But, seriously, I'm not a Kasdan fan. And expressed an unease about his involvement in TFA. While I think the movie turned out just fine, I'm actually pretty sure that most of the stuff I liked about the movie was Abrams and not Kasdan. And I think a lot of the overly nostalgic and hacky elements were probably Kasdan's doing.

That's why I think it's worth mentioning this writer. Certainly not a deal breaker, but when one's biggest issues with the trailer we've seen are the dialogue and potential exposition problems, it makes sense that this guy's involvement would raise a red flag of two.

But, you know, I did like About a Boy. So there you go.

I'd be pretty excited to see zero Force users in this movie, actually. Yeah, that's right, even Vader. Fuck Vader. I'm done with him. This movie should have Darth Vader in it as much as TFA had Jar Jar Binks.

Im fine without it as i believe Star Wars can stand on its own without it. Though, Its a beautiful piece of the star wars mythology so i will never complain if it has a presence in the movie.

Well said, friend. The Force is an amazing piece of imagination and storytelling. I completely agree. But, man, I'd love to see just one SW film told without using much or any of it. This seems like the best opportunity to try. Especially since The Force is such a "forgotten" thing at this point in the mythology.
