That camera traveling that way and extras reacting in that way in relation to it is already new for Star Wars. We've never seen a running shot with a mobile camera in Star Wars ever apart from ships in battles.

It's different. YeY. That said wait for the cry to swing from force awakens being too similar to episode 8 being too different.

I'm calling that now cos I'm feeling that now.




Worst part? Some no hope untalented mess is directing the film after this one. (Stips kids will be in college by this time and every member of pearl jam will be performing from wheelchairs. )


And we'll all still be here.

Yep. I fully expect this to happen.

Okay. Well, all I can do is apologize. It really seemed like you weren't sure. But I thought you were, even still. Which is why I phrased it as a question and not an accusation. Either way... sorry, buddy. I hope one day you can forgive me.

He won't. It's okay. I know what's in my heart. And I love him regardless.

Somebody help me out here... I keep seeing things like "I see a lot of prequels in these character designs" said all over the internet. Can someone who agrees tell what that means? I'm not seeing a lot of "prequel designs" in these images. What exactly looks prequel about them? What parallels are you drawing? What am I missing?

They look sleek. They look like they come from a world before it was destroyed by the empire. Also the blue i feel. Bright colors.

Interesting.

Maybe I can see that. But these designs look totally foreign to me. They don't look at all like Star Wars. The cars, the colors, the feel of nightlife and or a city/vibe... I can understand the Courscant connection, sure. But it still looks totally different to me. This looks more primal and interesting; much less sterile than the prequels. Again, this is just behind the scenes stuff; who knows what it all amounts to. But the prequels are light years from my mind as I see these images.

The prequels are always nipping at my heels, reminding me of the terror, horror , and utter disappointment in star wars and subsequent life.

You have every right to be suspicious, friend. I totally get it. But these images are not giving me the same gut reaction that the first images of TPM did. This looks... fresh. And right, somehow.

I mean, I agree with what you're saying in spirit. But what you've actually said here is weird and I don't get it. So, I don't agree with your statement, but I do agree with what I think you're trying to say.
