No, I think it's going to be pretty great (assuming it's all locked in).

Re: #44 - Disney Buys Lucasfilm

The 2009 Star Trek was basically a Star Wars movie. And a pretty good one, too, so there's cause for optimism.

Re: #44 - Disney Buys Lucasfilm

I'm good with it. Star Wars needs the same break from decades of canonical dogma that Abrams gave to Star Trek. His Star Trek wasn't perfect, but at least it was fun to watch. Star Wars hasn't been fun since 1983, so he sure can't hurt things any.

Invoking Star Trek as a point FOR Abrams?

Um, yes. Several points for him, actually. Pretty much what Trey said big_smile
Actually, its funny, because several forums that I cruise, like tfn (back in the day) and a Trek fan site, all described the New Trek as a Star Wars film.

Yeah. Attack of the Clones—a bunch characters you recognize doing shit that's damned exciting but that makes no sense, plus a terrible romance.

Attack of the Clones-yes
Star Trek-no

agree to disagree, but its my opinion.

Re: #44 - Disney Buys Lucasfilm

In other news, I'm skeptical of "The Wrap" site but here is another interesting article:
http://www.thewrap.com/movies/column-po … sive-63006

Love the continuation of Lucas' tale that it was a whole long saga, and that there was originally 9 movies, etc. etc.
/sigh
Now I'm panicking

God loves you!

Can't decide whether I'm excited or not. I need to watch Star Trek again, it's been a while.

That's no moon. That's an anamorphic lens flare.

Well, at least Episode III set a precedent for that.

Re: #44 - Disney Buys Lucasfilm

I think that there could have been much worse choices. I am definitely interested what Abrams can bring to it. HOPING for a decent script.

Watching movies is like being drunk. First it is great but most of the times it ends poorly.

Clone Wars is fun, and some of the Dark Horse series are pretty good too (though I realise you are referring to cinematic ventures).

On another note, Paramount must be beaming at this point in time - hordes of curious viewers are going to flock to see Star Trek Into Darkness this summer, eager to see just what all the fuss is about with 'the new Star Wars guy'.

I hope this means Kathleen Kennedy saw Star Trek into Darkness and liked what she saw

Re: #44 - Disney Buys Lucasfilm

Apparently, it was between Abrams and Ben Affleck, I think the latter would have been far more interesting to be honest.

Re: #44 - Disney Buys Lucasfilm

It's official, J.J. is doing Ep VII
http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=99397

So I think it's a safe bet Giacchino is doing the score...

Re: #44 - Disney Buys Lucasfilm

Argh... jedi *puts fingers down mouth*

I'm guessing my enjoyment of this new trilogy will be dependent on how few Jedi and lightsabres are in it. Spaceships please. All the spaceships.
