Star Wars 7 shit talk

just rlly looking fwd to Triumph the Insult Comic Dog working the line

love Triumph

he would probably tell me how tragic it is to know so much about Star Wars and so little about going outdoors

I also am interested in the voice talking to Ren at the beginning and end "Who are you?" "The force, it's calling to you. Just let it in." Do we know who that voice is?

Barbra Streisand.

You can see the rear of Adam Driver's head sans Sith mask in the shot near the end where he approaches Boyega. I have no idea how it's going to play in the actual film, but I kinda dig how Boyega's playing it; his expression reads to me as a terrified/panicked/excited "oh shit here we go here we go here we go"

But this is a trailer designed to sell the movie to folks who weren't already gunna see it anyway.

As for how fast/loud everything seems, yeah, trailers are cut differently than they were and they figured out how to tighten the quick bits, I guess.

At this point, I'm kinda looking forward more to the new Fallout game in terms of genre releases this winter than a new SW flick, but if they can pull something off, I'll be happy. Hell, just entertain me as much as the Kotor games or Genndy's animated series and I'll be happy.

Didn't buy a ticket, but I'm lucky to live in Portland with a great single-screen local-owned joint right up the road to see it in and I won't hafta put up with multiplex bollocks that makes me want to just burn everything down.

John Boyega on Storm Troopering: "I'm getting too old for this shit"

Stimpy, presumably?

this is an odd conclusion

i see Billy Dee Williams gets a lotta SW cartoon voice work.

huh, for some reason I'd assumed his lines were done by a soundalike

they did get James Earl Jones in for some lines in the newest season of the cartoon, which is a coup on their part

Adam Driver is forever gonna be adam from girls in my mind and i am looking forward to him glaring at whoever and doing the whole "YOU KNOW NOTHING OF THE DARK SIDE JON SNOW" bit all brooklyn hipster style

just don't ever use "A New Hope" in front of me.

Adam Driver is playing an earthbound 17th-century Jesuit Jedi in the new Scorsese

RLM's trailer reaction video is very good.

i like this

It's Disney telling you to open your wallets. You know you want to see this movie anyways, just let it happen.

honestly Lucas should have done this after Empire. we would be on the 2nd reboot of the entire franchise by now.

man there are a lot of characters in this movie, huh? i mean there are enough new actors to fill equivalents to all the roles in the original trilogy... plus the actors from that trilogy as well. seems like it'd be overstuffed along the lines of a lot of contemporary franchise films. i predict lots of manic cross-cutting.

as long as they give Ello Asty a proper arc

those old-timey serial wipes better be doubletime

they could alternate left- and right-wipes, and then parody the fast-paced nature mid film by doing both at the same time and meeting in the middle

the wipes in the trailer really bothered me actually, they don't really achieve an "old-timey" effect for me and look power-pointish

is Lobot in this

finally the only question that matters

Best part of that RLM bit was the background chatter where they are trying to identify the character based on the ... feminine garb? And then one guys says "you know, there might be more than one girl in this movie." And the other guy goes "well, it is Star Wars."

Lobot is in that Lando comic series

it is sad, though

don't cry, Lobot!

one of the many cool things about Kershner's direction of TESB: no explanations. Here's a weird bald mute dude wearing headphones who sleeps standing up and awakens suddenly when someone calls. Maybe it was a cool New Wave tune idk

this is a pretty on point article.

those dr dre headphones are a real eye opener for sure imo

I used Lobot often during the eighties, often as fleet commander/human collaborator with Transformers, Thundercats, etc.

The original trilogy is kind of fueled by a subtext of everyone sexually competing for Leia -- Luke, Han, Vader, Jabba, Lando, even the Storm Troopers.

were you a teenage lobotomy?

xpost

and three of the worst major motion pictures ever made.

oh come on

Identical all-white drones, more like Sperm Troopers amirite?

that part is probably overstated since ROTS is legit solid for the most part, but i also remember the rictus grin i wore at the end of phantom menace and for most of AOTC

Further symbolisim in the x-wings running down a shaft in order to penetrate a giant egg. I could really run with this.

ROTJ is inert for reasons that have nothing to do with Ewoks.

my favorite part of Jedi is when obi-wan's ghost sits down on a log

Alec Guinness, exhausted by the doggerel.

I've a childhood memory of three quarters of the audience bursting out laughing when Obi-Wan gives Luke his "what I told you was true...from a certain point of view" and Luke says A CERTAIN POINT OF VIIIEW?

lol

Also, the Leia-as-sister thing is a fatal mistake, too; it forces us to understand both Vader and Obi-Wan as complete idiots. Vader stood face-to-face with his own daughter at multiple junctures of the first film and never once noticed a resemblance to himself or his dead wife—the woman with whom, according to the prequel trilogy, he’d been in love since he was eight years old? He never once detected that the Force was strong with this one? A random astromech droid shows up at Obi-Wan’s hut in the company of Darth Vader’s secret son, spits out a video recording of that son’s secret sister, and Obi-Wan doesn’t even blanch or bat an eyelash at this? Doesn’t even notice that Darth Vader’s secret son clearly has the hots for his own fucking sister? These people are fucking morons!)

Trailer doesn't reveal if they're bringing back Ice Cream Maker Guy.

Incest is more or less acceptable in the star wars universe
