MigL Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I wonder if this new series of movies will revive the franchise or drive the nails in the coffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimreepr Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I wonder if this new series of movies will revive the franchise or drive the nails in the coffin. Depends on who’s watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Is this supposed to take up where Return of the Jedi left off? Is this Episode 7? It might be a bit weird to have a new Luke and Leia but an old Han. Chewy is ageless, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imatfaal Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 He came close; Ford broke his leg during filming. And crashed his aircraft soon afterwards - doesn't bode well for the dogfight. Although from all reports he actually handled a serious mechanical issue in his plane with skill and calmness; landing on a golfcourse is also seriously cool.

CaptainPanic Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 We're in for a long debate between fans and haters. But I am quite optimistic, as I believe a large part of the story was written (or at least conceptually planned) by George Lucas early on, and not under pressure by the movie industry. Most really bad sequels are so horrible because the budget was arranged first, and the story came later. Here, the reverse may be true. Of course, that does not necessarily mean it will be a good story... but at least it was not a script that was written under massive time pressure by dozens of different writers, while being poorly managed by the industry. landing on a golfcourse is also seriously cool. Best use for a golf course, imho. You don't need a square kilometer for whacking a little ball around, but you do need so much space for crash landing airplanes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
