    A thoroughly enjoyable movie, with plenty for long-time Bond fans to like. Some excellent performances, and Javier Bardem was perfect. While there might be a piece or two that I wasn't in love with, I enjoyed the movie enough to not care. I left the theater with a smile on my face. One nitpick: Eve is completely the wrong name for that character. Doesn't flow at all.

    Technically speaking, the two books inhabit the same world.

    Trailer: This pretty clearly deviates from the book. As exciting as the trailer is, I am not sure I am happy with the direction they took this in.

    Why?

    Carrie Fisher--Damn Right I Wanna Be In the New 'Star Wars' "The upcoming Disney-owned "Star Wars" movie will star a much older Princess Leia ... at least if Carrie Fisher gets her way -- because the actress tells TMZ, she'd love to star in the next installment. Carrie was at LAX yesterday when we asked if she'd accept a role in "Episode 7" -- currently in development at Disney -- and she said, "Yes. Sure. Wouldn't you?" It would make sense too -- because "Episode 7" would follow "Return of the Jedi" in the Stars Wars timeline, meaning Leia could conceivably be a lot older in the new movie. Carrie also said Disney low-balled George Lucas with its $4.05 billion deal -- saying he should've gotten about $500 million more." Man, I dunno. Carrie is kinda, well, out there...

    CNN is also reporting this story now.

    Lucas already talked to Hamil and Fischer months ago; now it looks like Harrison Ford in keen to get back into it: 'Star Wars' sequel: Harrison Ford open to idea of Han Solo role -- EXCLUSIVE

    They had Star Wars episodes of The Muppet Show, well.

    32 years ago. Try again.

    JetJockey, SW became a product the second George decided to merchandise the hell out of the first movie. The whole thing stopped being pure (whatever that means) once it hit theaters in 1977. Don't fool yourself into thinking otherwise.

    It's been no secret that the continued fan backlash has really upset him over the past 10+ years. I think he just got worn out by it all.

    Something to keep in mind: Kathleen Kenndy is calling the shots on this film. If you don't know who she is, take a moment to look her up. There are few who are better suited for this task.

    Interview with Hamil;he and Carrie Fischer have known about the sequels since this summer when George took them to lunch.

    I'll admit, it's been a long while since I read any of it, but outside of the Thrawn trilogy it was all pretty bad (atleast it was back in the 90's).

    Well, really, his entire statement is rather silly. If it were truly irrelevant, it wouldn't be generating the kind of discussion it is on the Internet. It's a bit like jumping into a discussion and telling everyone that "no one cares," when clearly the person posting such a message cared enough to post it.

    I assume you never played KotOR.

    If there is money to be made by both parties, rest assured they will make a deal. From TheForce.net: "George Lucas has expressed his intention [. . .] to donate the majority of the proceeds to his philanthropic endeavors." "Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that one possibility being considered is an Avengers-style movie universe with not only Lucas' planned final trio of films but offshoot movies focusing on individual characters."

    Smashed? You might want to re-read the article.

    Mark Hamil on the new movie(s): "Can't comment on Ep 7 before I have all the facts which are short supply right now-Patience"
  20. Duke Togo
    The one? Did you not read the first page of this thread, big dawg?
  21. Duke Togo
    I'm not sure how anyone cannot consider this a good thing. George made a joke out of SW and Indiana Jones. And maybe, just maybe we'll get the original unaltered Trilogy on Blu-ray now.

    Needs more Milius

    This is an action movie with sci-fi elements. Don't expect any hard science or logic behind the story devices--there isn't any. If you think about it too much the whole thing unravels; turn off your brain and just enjoy it.

    I am curious: how many of you here (besides me) saw it in IMAX 3D?

    It's OK to read books outside of school. #truestory
