Star Wars 8 shit talk

can someone remind me if the nerds will by annoyed or overjoyed at this and then i can calibrate my response appropriately

Return of the JJ

annoyed

Back to the future!

Jeeeez

a safe pair of hands i guess but maybe the least inspiring choice short of ron howard

thought and prayers 4 brett ratner obv

At least hopefully Colin Trevorow and Josh Trank have learned some very important lessons from this experience, in that they'll never work again.

It's a tragedy for the trajectory of Star Wars directorship that Garry Marshall and Nora Ephron are no longer with us.

still waiting for a full and frank account of just wtf went on with josh trank's fantastic four, feels like the craziness we've heard about so far might have just been the tip of the iceberg

bring back McG

do we need a Star Wars 9 shit talk thread now

Might as well.

where's McG? is it too late for him to tear this from Abrams? :)

im fine w JJ but it seems like suicide to get the person who wrote Batman V Superman to write this

Yeah, I was just looking up Terrio. Not promising.

if anything kennedy and kasdan have shown they'll murk any director they think isn't toeing their company line so I wouldn't worry too much. I guess its a problem if you hated ep 7 but I thot its fine..

I'm interested in seeing what Abrams will do when not under the specific restriction of "Reassure everyone that we still know how to make a Star Wars".

"I give you...Mega Super 8!"

this. The Force Awakens was great fun, and that's all I ask for from the franchise.

Abrams to direct hour 1, Johnson to direct hour 1.5

why not give it to Sofia Coppola

supposedly extended Luke constipation scene

Tickets on sale tomorrow as well.

Okay, Drafthouse has them on sale at least. Got tickets for Saturday the 16th, much to my surprise. (These last couple of go rounds, I've usually had to wait a week.)

New poster just ahead of the trailer.

I like it although Kylo looks wonky.

Is that a new face below Chewie?

Yeah, that's Kelly Marie Tran's new character, Rose Tico.

Do not watch that if you want to be un-spoiled.

It's true: they show a porg.

Looks cool, but multiple cutesy creatures is a bad omen

How dare you say that about Oscar Isaac < / Lord Sotosyn >

I calls 'em likes I sees 'em

I felt a disturbance in the Force

I mean, of course.

The Star Wars trailer is terrible. Has anyone involved even SEEN Star Wars? pic.twitter.com/UhaHQO0mNt

I like it although Kylo looks wonky.

that's just how adam driver looks tho

THIS CHRISTMAS huh

one in the eye for those politically-correct 'holidays' assholes, trump will be thrilled

looks cool for a Star War

I still don’t get why, if you have fast little speeder ships, you wouldn’t just flank the walkers instead of flying at them head-on. Those things can’t turn.

just hang in their blind spot and blast their asses

Twitter Users Have Feelings About the Porgs From The Last Jedi

Here's one scorching hot take from someone who probably threw a shit-fit over szechuan sauce:

IIRC in Empire they make a point of stating how heavily armored they are so presumably the original plan was to attack the cockpits before they came up with the tow cable idea. The cockpit glass (or transparisteel or whatever they call it) would seem to be the only real vulnerable point for ships that size. And the heads on the original walkers had a pretty decent range of motion -- it looked like they could cover about 120 degrees side to side and the same up and down.

ROFL

Good luck getting Kathleen Kennedy & @RianJohnson to explain what #TheLastJedi means. We tried—here’s what they said https://t.co/IJRch5ed40

It’s Luke.

The porgs are a sad reminder that there was never a stuffed Hoojib for me when I was a kid.

also I thought they had guns on the side and back, flying fortress-style, but apparently not.
