Lit A/V The Force Awakens and the EU [TAGGED spoilers.]

And what does that have to do with anything?

 

I think it will probably just be a large Force ghost presence. That would be the only thing tolerable.

Oh wait... the underlined part. Can I have one of those stress reduction kits? I guess it could turn out well, and leave the EU somewhat intact, but that's still a bit scary.

Though hey, I guess if you want to do movies about Darth Vader, you better damn well make sure you do them when James Earl Jones is still alive.

 

Oh dear...I just found out about this and all I can think of is Disney and Jedi doing a singing number....

I need to go back under my rock...

 

Oh, I'm head desking at the thought, 99% unlikely as it is, of Jake Lloyd playing Han Solo

Just for the sake of conversation, though, has anyone official actually called it the "sequel trilogy", or has it always just been "new Star Wars movies?". In all honestly, an trilogy between the trilogies would make a degree of sense. I mean, everyone knows Vader; he's pretty much up there with Superman in terms of recognizability (I know that's not a word). And, dare I say it, could be very good, if handled with care; you have the familiar elements, Vader, Sidious, Empire, Star Destroyers, and can do it in a way that won't invalidate the EU.

 

Vader and Stormtroopers have already done a dance number - someone posted the You Tube clip!

 

Someone apparently hasn't heard of Kinect Star Wars...

 

Yeah, my opinion toward Kinect Star Wars are comparable to yours with TCW

 

I have on good authority that Episode VII will revolve around Admiral Ackbar. Apparently, the screenplay is being written by a longtime fan. I think that it is admirable that this fan is going to work on this screenplay. It came in the nick of time. Apparently he has been working on this story for 22 years.

If that's directed at me, Zeta, have heard of it but have no X-box so have not yet experienced it (my nephew does have an X-box and the Kinect attachment). Is it an experience to be avoided? If so, I'll have to refuse invitations from now on!

 

Oh good lord yes.

 

I'd watch it. It also adheres to the the current trend of splitting a book into three parts.

 

No, that was directed at the "Disney equals Jedi singing" person.

 

I just hope it is something entirely different than the story we already know and somewhat love. If they keep going back and forth for the next umpteen years we might get a whole story in the next thirty so years. I just hope they do not do the "Vader Years"

 

The biggest "problem" with doing a Vader trilogy will be that, by the next time the next trilogy rolls around, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher will almost certainly be too old to do a "sequel trilogy". Whether that's a good or bad thing is debatable.

But like I said, there can be no Vader movie without James Earl Jones (Chad Vader is good, but come on), and he's 81...

I feel a bit sick speaking of actors like they're cows that need to be milked before they die

 

True, in respect for the actors on being to old before it is all said and done. To bad they could not do a reboot ....might work

 

"Would you stand up and leave me, Padme?"

 

I'd toss a coin in an effort to decide whether I should stand up and walk out on you or kill you for your insolence.
