Your friend probably didn't have access to the free state of the art drugs/roids that Ford has, though.

Also, he was not surrounded by such powerful midichlorions

Until I see Brick, I'm going to keep this in my pocket as a very probable "most stip posts of all time" contender.

it's been years, but Brick struck me as a movie that tried way too hard. But it's also kind of hard to compare Abrams and Johnson. They're making very different movies, and in terms of tone, style, and approach to filmmaking Abrams seems like a much better fit for star wars.

How did that comparison start, anyway?

Assuming this is gonna be the worst movie int he world, obviously.

Just get one of those green dot cgi suits, and get on with the movie. The key grip could stand in until Ford returns.

He's directing Episode 8 & writing a treatment for episode 9.

Weird choice. I just assumed Abrams was doing them all.

That's why you failed.

I like the idea of a different director for each movie.

I saw this and thought for sure it was an Onion headline

did McP write that?

It's too concise.

This is a huge huge spoiler. Don't read at all unless you want to know what (might) happen in the films

Spoiler: show

This might well be the plot for Ep VII, please PLEASE don't read if you don't want to be spoiled, it's about all the major beats and where the characters are. This said person has apprarently read the 2nd draft of Abrams/Kasdan script. It sounds very legit and.... dark, cold war esque, explains the Empire rumors. Hugely exciting though. I skimmed though it with one eye open. It sounds brilliant and not what was expected. It has a certain greyness/complexity to it and a knowing that ESB was the best of the series.

Remember how ROTJ was supposed to end on a bittersweet note, with (spoiler) Luke running off into the unknown like the man with no name, well it sounds like this literally carries off on what would happen if Lucas hadn't his hands all over Jedi.


Here it is:

I've read the second draft of the Abrams/Kasdan script.

I've chosen a trip so that people can't BS in my name when trailers, other media, and the film itself confirm what I say. I won't post again until then so as not to be accused of attention whoring.

Please don't read unless you want to have the film spoiled.
