Wow! 44 pages of posts in less than 6 hours.

Is something big going on?

If I were in charge of the NE SW flicks, I'd do the following:

1. Hire Gary Kurtz as executive producer. When you really look at the films, they dropped in quality when he and Lucas had their 'falling out' Keep Rick McCallum away from this

2. Hire Mark and Carrie.

The ONLY way to get Harrison Ford back is a) and Damn good script AND b) a sh ton of cash

I also think it would be better to have Han and Luke not talking to each other due to Leia dying and Han wants to kill Luke. At least that would be something for Han to do in the flick. People give Ford crap over his views on Han, but, Once he got Froze, Han did'nt evolve an farther. I mean think about it. He realizes as he gets lowered into the carbon freezing chamber, he's wasted his whole life and now, he has someone he doesnt want to leave and a cause to live for, its all over. I mean, yeah, they thawed him out, but he doesn't do anything else character wise in ROTJ.

I just realized. I was 4 when I saw Jedi with my father in the theater. My daughter will be 4 when 7 comes out.

Hey, maybe they'll finally re-release Twice Upon a Time.

I'd be happy with it on DVD to replace my VHS.

People were saying the same thing back when they announced a film based on a theme park ride.

Unless its a horror/western/fantasy done as perfectly as POTC then maybe it might have a slim chance

ROFLMAO Hey maybe Disney will connect that age old question as to why R2 and 3PO are in the Tomb in Star Wars 7.

My knee jerk reaction is to agree with this, but then I remember that IM1 and Avengers is excellent even though IM was CGI most of the time.

The problem wasn't CGI Stormtroopers, it was GL.

PCP Jawas vs Coke'd Up Yoda.

Can't wait to take my son to his first SW experience.

I don't know. Should men, soldiers in suits be CGI?

That crap with the Clones in the prequels was ridiculous. It wasn't just the battles and armies that were CGI, even just a character standing there was a computer generated image with an actors face/head plopped on.

Compare that to the actual craftsmanship and work of having actual stunt men an extras in the suit and the differences are glaring.

Suits of armor > CGI

Puppet Yoda > CGI Yoda

I'm not against CGI, but only use it when it's needed and necessary for your vision. Everything about Attack of the Clones and Return of the Jedi reeked of post production, from characters to sets. It was all fake.
