JCC Spoilers beyond this point: The "ZOMG Episode VII" Thread

No doubt Healer_Leona is correct and Whedon is too busy through 2015 to get involved. What we have to watch out for is signs that E7 is taking the John Carter path to brand annihilation.

Whatever happens, Star Wars gets another chance to become the brand it deserves to be.

Pandora's Box has been opened.

I don't really care who will be at the helm, because I don't have a preference/want to see something that specific (in terms of the plot) in E7. The extent of my SW fandom lies with the films 1-6, and all my years here. Read one of the Thrawn books (I forget which one) once, and that was that. Haven't watched The Clone Wars, and don't have deep knowledge of the EU. I'm just happy for everything that will come as a result of this.

just thought of this, since disney is about bringin back old series i wonder if Droids or Ewoks will come back, lol, god help us

You somehow managed to see when you were quoted for seven years at the old place, right?

They should give David Lynch another shot. He has a good track record with Disney.

But in all seriousness, the only really viable option is Andrzej Zuwlaski. Look him up. I'll wait.

Whedon has to make a Buffy movie to revive SMG's career first, yo

What has Spielberg really done lately that was that great??

I still think it's very likely that we will see Vader in these new series. I think the initial idea can be a 7-9, but would not be surprised to see a full reboot as they just did with Spiderman or with the Hulk to a lesser extent.

Either way as long as Lucas has zero involvement, the potential for greatness in Star Wars has returned!

Triple that for George Lucas.

Dudes, I just visited a Star Wars forum here in the Star Wars forum. I'm not sure I did it right. I'm very rusty. Now I'm going to go try it again.

i dunno. i missed a lot of stuff at the old place apparently.

but seriously, it seems like it's a bug of some sort that it does that. whatever, i don't get quoted or liked all that much.

You should probably expect a relatively unknown director. Someone kneadable.

I'm interested to see what Nicolas Winding Refn will do with the Logan's Run remake, if that actually happens. Logan's Run was one of the last great pre-1977 sci fi movies, right before Star Wars came along and changed everything. I'd potentially put him in charge of a Star Wars movie, as long as Ryan Gosling isn't in it.

soooo... this thread is getting put into the defunct pile now?

Oh god, I really can't say I'm looking forward to a sequel trilogy. There's just been no suitable villains after Palpatine, Vader and the Empire that would justify making more films. The Yuuzhan Vong might qualify...but the NJO really cannot be crammed into a trilogy.

They'll go The Hobbit route and make three movies per book. They're good for Episodes VII - LXIII this way.

They could pull an EU and bring back the Emperor.

I don't think it would work so well, but it could be done

I see.

You are psychic... I was going to ask for this to be reopened. Nice to have a thread to discuss stuff without fear of being banned for offending overly sensitive people.

I bet Disney think that Lucas is a jerk.
