Why do I suddenly envision Leonidas, or a character similar to him, wielding an ancient lightsaber while in the buff, fighting against some odd thousand mutant clones?

If that was a stand alone thing, I imagine that would be a pretty amazing movie.

Now where did I put my revolver with the one bullet......was it in the "in case of Justin bieber concert within 7.1 square miles" break the glass box or the "president launches nuclear strike on U.S because Bill Murray died" break the glass box.

Zack Snyder is no Joss Whedon (or Akira Kurosawa).

People seem to collectively forget about Alien: Resurrection.

I'll take Whedon's one bad writing credit over Snyder's multiple directing/writing fails any day.

EDIT: I forgot about the early Buffy movie.

I didn't mean literally be the Avengers, just in the sense that it will be exciting and action packed, but once you get down to it, it becomes a "meh" movie altogether.

Unfortunately though, I think he will end up making it far too gritty.

Oh, okay. I see what you mean, then.

Good news? Bad news?

Good news

JJ would do it right, I should hope to think..

I thought that Matthew Vaughn had been confirmed last fall. I guess not.

The bar on these movies has been set so low and yet so high at the same time. The danger I see is if Abrams tries to take too much of George Lucas out of the movies, will it still be a Star Wars movie? Don't get me wrong, I am not a huge fan of Lucas, but Lucas had to do these movies in the first place for us to complain about the movies he did.

It has potential. Just please keep lens flare to a minimum.

Which Lucas are we talking about taking out of Star Wars, the edgy director from the late 70's or the old fat hack from 21st century?

Star Wars... with LENS FLARE.

Nah but this is pretty good. Don't care much for Star Wars anyways but JJ is a decent director.

I'm just watching Fringe (last two episodes of the series), which is an Abrams production.


Not a lot of lens flare going on here guys..

If I see one mother[censored] ewok I'm going to burn down the theater.

That is what I am worried about. Too much of the early Lucas will get thrown out when they try to remove the later Lucas.

Well, I think my childhood is sufficiently destroyed. Whatever remains of the sands that slip through my fingers, day-by-day, probably won't matter. The wind has pretty much blown away what I cherish, so i'll just wait for this movie to be ruined. We'll probably see a mickey mouse and Lucas icon shaking hands after both come out for the Disney castle.

lets see what I can screw with.. and maybe induce some involuntary dry heaves


-Jar Jar Binks is the new head of the Jedi order, having received training first from Obi Wan and later finished his training under Luke, now trains youngling Ewoks in the ways of the force and being overly cuddly..

-Han Solo and Princess Leia broke up after ten years because Carrie Fisher -the princess- turns out to be a bi-polar cow..

-Han initially goes back to smuggling, usurping the Hutts as most feared criminal in the Galaxy, gets into an argument with Chewie, and has him made into a throw rug.

-Luke becomes a hermit, living in Obi Wan's old house on Tatooine alone and bitter after learning that Leia is actually his twin sister, and thus whom he can't bump uglies with..



Anything else I can muck up?

......... 0_o........

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

You have no soul. If you have one, it is blacker than the blackest depths of the furthest parts of dark space as we know it. TEACH ME!!!

I am fine with this

R2-D2 Sticks his computer porbe in another energy teminal and finally short curcits and turns into Johnny 5.

C-3PO ends up in a trash compactor and get's crushed, then Luke says "So how does it feel!!!"

Lando dies from space aids.

Wedge get's a wedgie in his X-wing and smashes into an asteroid----along with Rouge Squadron.

Millennium Falcon get's sold to a scrap dealer.

Dash Rendar runs off with Leia (we find out Dash Rendar likes "large women").

Han Solo drowns his sorrows at Nar Shaddaa.

Chewbacca get's space rabies and get's "put to sleep".

Luke get's killed by space cats and bugs.
