ST All Officially Confirmed INFO HERE (see last page)

You Sir are a King among men!!!!

If the EU crowd decided to boycott the movies, it would not even dent the box office one single bit.

Ah but most hope it rightfully will be!

 

It certainly wouldn't. However, it might put a dent in the number of people who camp out for a week in the cinema parking lot waiting for the premiere, and then come into the theater in a black cape and a Darth Vader, mask, LOL.

 

I don't even think it would dent that to be honest. It might get rid of the same kind of mentality that, if they were Star Trek fans they would have weddings in Klingon etc.

 

Han Shot First you really should learn to not double and triple post.
Sincerely,
Everyone else

 

Glad to see you have appointed yourself spokesperson for everyone else. As I have stated before I'm dyslexic and it act's as a handy little memory tool for myself. Tolerance is the key here, instead of getting yourself all worked up.

 

That's... kind of ironic.

 

From the guy who continues to vocally and needlessly bash the EU and its readers at every turn?

 

I haven't bashed anyone, I just offer an opinion that differs from yours, free speech and all that jazz.

 

This is true, however it will probably be like the Star Trek reboot, where in the trailer they just did a star log and showed the Enterprise being built. There is more in the second trailer than last one. We will be able to piece together some of what is going on. Lucasfilm likes to tout characters they think will be big

 

"Come back Dec 31st for Part 5"

 

The lack of news has not really effected the thread activity of this board, so that is good to see.

 

observant = you

 

I asked one of the ods about activity and it has doubled since the D-Day announcement. Probably still growing with all the news avs I see here daily.

Makes me confident in my prediction that Ep 7 can crack $3 B.

 

I just want to know if it will keep on continuity with the eu, if it will ignore the eu or if it will break continuity while keeping some of the characters

 

All I know is the new trilogy needs to have a darker feel to it, less childish. Maybe even have one of them be R rated. No nudity but way more violence and adult themes. Done with class of course. I like the feel of the Italian "Dark Resurrection" films. Anyone seen those? if so what did you think?

 

Darker? Seriously? I'm sorry kRud, but you know the three act structure? We're in the third act with the ST... where things are on the up swing, so I doubt it'll be as dark as RoTS or ESB.

 

Look at the new clone wars animated series. The only episodes people like, by in large, are the ones with sith in them. If Disney makes three films all corny like Lucas did with episode 1 then they're in for a rude awakening at the box office. Heck, episode three was childsplay. Kids can handle it, they kill more people in their various war video games in 20 seconds and see more gore/blood in that 20 seconds than we saw in the entire episode-3 series. It's 2012, get with the times. It's not specifically gore we need though it's philosophical 'darkness', adult themes, more evil characters...We need a much darker series in order to fit with our actual modern culture.Lucas lives in la la land which is why he chose Disney because traditionally they've lived in la la land as well but I think Disney may understand some of what I'm saying (not paying attention to me specifically of course) so I have a feeling they'll target adults more with the new films. If they don't they will be a big letdown.

 

Folk/fairy tales have always had dark and sordid aspects (evil witches, infanticide, murder plots, incest, etc), I don't think modern culture requires more darkness in its storytelling per-se, it's just forever changing the emphasis of what's already there, as it always has done...

Episode 1 had concentration camps, children born into slavery and a demonic supervillain being cut in half. It's not all "yippee" and "meesa bein clumsy!"

 

TPM was the highest grossing in the PT. For all we know, Disney will ask more of that. Star Wars has been for kids and "kids in you". Let's just hope the childish elements won't be irritating to adults.

 

I agree. darl just does not feel lile star wars.

 

Thank you for seeing what so many have missed.

 

Still, we will never get star wars meets resident evil, or something truly twisted dark sexy and violent... but I digress...
