Kolek planning to go pro
I was really hoping for years they would simply use the Timothy Zahn Thrawn Trilogy. The Grand Admiral was a fantastic villain and that whole storyline was a truly worthy successor to the first three movies. May need to re-read those, they were so damn good. And agreed on those characters not being included. I've always wanted to see Mara Jade introduced on the big screen.
It's just a teaser trailer. I wish people would just enjoy it for what it is.I remember when ep 1 came out (I was at MU) and my roommate at the time said "that's not star wars" and was really pissed off. I loved Star Wars growing up too, but all I could think was, why are you so angry? It's 3 hours of your life. If you don't like it, don't go see the next one. And if it ruined your childhood then maybe seeing a therapist is a better use of your money. I'm looking forward to the next 3 and seeing some of those original characters back on the screen.
Interesting question, if I wasn't lazy I'd do a poll, but how do the people feel about the original three coming back? I'm pretty hesitant about it, I could one or two, but I'm just concerned because I see only two possible paths, the plot revolves around the continuing adventures of the geriatric gang or we kill them early to establish significance and cut ties.Or maybe JJ Abraham's will just use a time travel McGuffin to handle the ret-conning for him.
I see them as central characters, but more in the background with lesser screen time in higher profile positions in the rebellion while the new characters take the center stage in whatever event is going on and developing them for the next two films in the trilogy of the trilogy.
This is likely but this still has me concerned....I know it's against a Galactic Empire, but how many Death Stars do they have to blow up and how many years is this rebellion going to go on?Not to mention the issue of the new and improved* Episode 6 which at the end they clearly show the Empire on Corasant has fallen.*actually made considerably worseThe plot line I kind of think it's going to be is that the Alliance has won and become the new central government and the Empire has become the rebellion but is being forced back to the Outer Rim where they "awaken" a Sith colony or something. Or I know nothing.
We're unfortunately just going to have to wait and see.Until then, the Avengers 2 arrives May 1.
Let's take this in a different nerd direction....Star Trek, Episode VII, and Avengers 2 come out on the same day, and you can only see one and that is the only one you are ever allowed to see....what is everyone picking? Feel free to add other sci-fi, comic, nerd movies
Umm how could you NOT have the original 3? I don't think they'll be the #1 focus (the trailer showed that), but they will be important in setting up the trilogy. I would've been beyond mad if they did this and either recast them or didn't bring them back.
Avengers 2 (partially because my kids would not give my wife and I a choice) and it could possibly be a long afternoon in the theater.
Star Wars and it's not even close. And Star Wars is still bigger than all of them...even the prequels couldn't kill it.
Star Wars no question. Avengers second and Star Trek third. As for the original characters, I read somewhere an idea that Luke had become like a hermit and would play more of a Yoda type role.
