Poll- Star Wars Episode VII

joe8 · Nov 14, 2014

Are you going to see the new Star Wars movie when it comes out?
Do you think the new Star Wars movie is going to be better then the original or prequel trilogy?
Do you think Episode III (or some parts of it) was as good as any of the movies in the original trilogy?

BerryTogart · Nov 14, 2014

Would you like to have tea or coffee sir? Yes please...

I'll bite...

More than likely, yes, I'll go and take my daughter and wife...both of whom love SW (as do I).

As for hope for the franchise? Sure...I have hope. JJ Abrams managed to reboot my beloved Star Trek franchise...which to me is more difficult than Star Wars to accomplish. I really enjoyed the new ST movies and this gives me hope that he can reboot the SW franchise.

So you've set up a poll with 3 distinct questions, but responders can select only 1 answer.
What happens if I want to answer "Yes", "No" and "Yes" to your questions???

What am I supposed to do then, Joe8??? Huh??? Tell me Joe8 - what am I supposed to do then????

Maybe. Might wait for dvd.

No.

Hard not to be. But maybe not.

Parts of Episode 3 were no worse than a lot of Episode 6. Except Episode 3 had no characters to give a shit about.

I will always love the original movie. I will always love Empire. I'm kind of done with everything else, though, I think. I gave away all my dvds, old toys, and comics to my nephews. I sold all my novels to Book-Off.

famicommander · Nov 14, 2014

Yeah, I'll see it. I like JJ Trek and Super 8 so I'll give it a shot. I like Star Wars in general, even if most of the prequel trilogy is a melodramatic bore and Hayden Christiansen is god awful.

theMot · Nov 14, 2014

I'll see it.

I really liked episode 3. Episode 1 and 2 were really shitty though.

IDGAF about star wars.
It already happened, it's been run into the ground and now its fucking done.

Almost as eyerolling as the guys on here saying "I don't need any games/music/etc made after 199X"

Are we still whacking off to Pamela Anderson/Anna Nicole Smith jpegs as well?

GohanX · Nov 14, 2014

if young Pam Andersen had good videos up on xtube, sure.

I dunno man, I think Star Trek reboot is an easier task just because it's been rebooted so many times so people are much more open to different interpretations.

With Star Wars people don't want a single fucking thing changed, which is a very difficult set of conditions to reboot a franchise in.

In short, I think it will be different, liked by new fans because it will be genuinely good, but ultimately feel like a let down to people who were fans of the originals.

Nope, not allowed for this analogy.

Unreleased retro porn from Pam would be just too fucking cool.

NeoSneth · Nov 14, 2014

why would you not see it?
it's a movie. I watch even the terrible ones.

GohanX · Nov 14, 2014

Life's too short to watch bad movies.

Unless it's a good bad movie.

Zangrief · Nov 14, 2014

Disney owns:
1) ABC
2) ESPN
3) Star Wars

Get ready for Star Wars hype year round, all the fucking time, 'cause there will always be another in the pipeline.

SNKorSWM · Nov 14, 2014

Maybe
No
Yes

in that order

Episode had characters to give a shit about, like Senator Palpatine/The Emperor, and maybe Yoda. So, basically, the only characters/actors that were really interesting were ones that had already appeared in the original trilogy.

Dr Shroom · Nov 15, 2014

Is there any actor in that movie who isn't over 60 years old by now?

Oh okay Carrie Fisher is 58.

The older actors (especially Harrison Ford) will definitely be better than any of the new actors in Episode VII, even though they will be 30+ years younger.

What I really hated about the prequels, certainly the last two, was the ridiculousness of, and overuse of the CGi.
The fact that in attack of the clones they didn't have a single clonetrooper costume actually made. That so many of the sets were just CGi and so much of the film was basically actors against a green screen.

What I actually liked about the early press shots from 7 is that there look to be actual sets, and large scale props!
I'm rather hopeful.

They fracked it up so badly for the prequels, even Disney can't do a worse job.

CGI graphics still don't look real.

Especially when they are overused or overwhelm the live parts of the shot or ignore basic physics.
CGi to hide wires and the machanics of a stunt are great, but to shoot the whole stunt.... not so much!

*dawns dork hat*

Actually...no, Star Trek was never rebooted. You had the original cast/show...then movies with that cast. Then the Next Generation...and NG films. So on and so forth...but not a reboot of the original.

JJ had the nuts to remake the original with an all new cast playing iconic and cult level roles. That was tough figuring the cult following the original cast has (as does TNG, wich would also be a task).

I still think continuining the SW universe is an easier task is done properly.

I think TNG would be next to impossible to reboot. Just who the hell could you recast as Picard?
