Say what you will but JJ Abrams is a great director in a whole other league then Colin. I am for one highly optimistic.

I only wish Rian Johnson was writing and Abrams was only directing.

And we thought the Mega Star Destroyers were big.... just wait till JJ says... "But we need something bigger!"

I feel like JJ Abrams is the yes-man Disney wanted. Hope it works out for them.

Get ready for the shocking reveal that Rey and Kylo were siblings the whole time!

Oh I'm overjoyed... Because it worked out soooo well for the Star Trek Reboot and TFA....

Nah, it will be a reveal in Episode 9 because you gotta copy OT plot structure whenever possible.

He literally can't not . I mean, heck, he even managed to do it in TFA.

Episode 9 will give us the First Order's newest super weapon. A secret space station with a planet killing mega gun built inside of a star, and its only weakness is starfighters.

Good god, lighten up folks. He is making a movie to sell tickets, not appeal to star wars diehards. I for one think is a decent director that provides alot of action. I like TFA, I thought it was well done, but that's just my opinion.

I'm really glad he's back. I think I've enjoyed every movie he's made. Zero complaints from me.

Here we go again...




Personally I think it isn't a bad choice. What are the odds that EP IX is objectively worse than Return of the Jedi? I mean, Return was great, as a kid it was my favorite, but as an adult it's kinda hard to not cringe when you see hordes of well trained imperial troops getting completely REKT by the care-bear brigade.

The movie will be fine. Relax.

In my mind, ewoks are almost as bad as gungans.

Almost.

So, one could say it's would be a kind of Murder Star. A fulcrum of finallity. A bright Dot of Doom. A Sphere of Sacrifice. I can't really describe it better.....

I thought you meant Jerjerrod... Ah well

If you think the Care Bear brigade REKT some stormtroopers just wait until JJs Super-Mega-Ultra Bears show up.

Almost.

The saving grace of the ewoks was that they were real people! I mean so many migets, dwarfs, little people on camera at the same tim. I also grew up with Ewoks battle for Endor being one of my favorite movies. Gungans and Polynesian clone troopers wouldn't bother me if they were real people... too much CGI ruins the emersive experience.

Anyone know why Return of the JEdi went with Ewoks and not Wookiee? Seems like it'd be cheaper finding tall people.

I would describe it as the Snoak's supreme solar slaughterhouse

Ewoks more marketable to children.
