Uh, when did I say he's not competent? I'm not shitting up jack, I'm saying I don't like this director and are therefore apprehensive about getting too excited for his work. Obviously if I say he's a hack, that's just one man's opinion.

Noted. My mistake.
 
It would be an incorrect usage of the term "hack," though. It doesn't mean "bad artist." It means artist who literally doesn't give a shit about the work he's doing. A hack is a pure mercenary, basically. He comes in, does the work, doesn't put any extra effort into that work, and cashes the check. That's a hack. Hackwork isn't bad. It's just plain and absent of any artistic integrity or aspiration.

Abrams obviously gives a shit, and is aspiring to a certain level of artistry. Whether he hits it or not is up to the viewer, but he's definitely not a hack.

Fair enough. You can officially count the description redacted.
 
Disney is not fucking around, though they did spend quite a bit for this franchise. Wasn't it billions, or close to? I hope the upcoming star wars video games are good.

They bought Lucasfilm for $4 billion. With all the films being released and the merchandise, it will be a great investment.
 
There's nothing wrong with JJ's visual panache. His films always look superb but there are other more important aspects of his films which are sometimes just not very good, let's say.

At the very least this should be a better script than Orci and Shitzman.
 
Black character seems the more interesting, visuals and landscape looks amazing.
Otherwise it's Disney, I have 0 expectations, well that maybe end being a good thing.
 
This doesn't look bad.

Hopefully, it will be more sci-fiy instead of fantasy. Might want to see this. I just hope it is less like the previous 6 films and more of its own new take.
 
I can feel the typical Abrams' fanservice. "Yo did you notice that ship in the desert??? Right???? Yeah!!". But what I saw is till good. No seriously, I want this to be original, not a celebration.

Same. I like what I saw and as its own trailer is alright, but I don't want the movie to live or die on it's fanservice alone and that's what has me worried. I'm still skeptical of Abrams' ability to leverage a "great movie" as I've never thought he's proven himself beyond being a good cinematographer. Hopefully he can prove me wrong, Star Wars is one of those things that deserves to be good.

The person being handed the saber in the trailer is most likely Leia and she looks to be in good health. She's wearing a wedding ring and doesn't look sick or injured.

The person handing Leia the saber seems to have orange skin and white markings on their face like this:

Does Luke saying my father "has" it instead of "had" imply Anakin/Vader will be alive somehow? Or is he talking about ghost-Anakin.

Or is that someone else narrating and not Luke.
 
I totally did not recognize Mark Hamill's voice in the narration, although it should've been obvious to me with the Darth Vadar mask and bionic arm. He's done so many voice-overs for crazy characters I've forgotten what he sounds like normally.
 
You're a sad, petty person if you think I'm actually shitting on JJ here the same way you constantly shit up every other MCU thread you post in. I don't hang around Star Wars threads talking down to people like you and some others.

Where did I shit on Daredevil? Cap 2? GotG? Iron Man? Don't run around spouting incorrect information because I don't bow to the altar of Whedon like you do.

Also, hack doesn't mean "person that I think makes shitty films." It's a director-for-hire that is there to make money and doesn't give a shit about artistic integrity. Brett Ratner is a hack. JJ cares about filmmaking and art.
 
Man, at first I was hoping they wouldn't have too much focus on the old characters, and that they would concentrate on the new ones, but after hearing Mark Hamill talk? Fuck, just make him the lead of all the new movies.

That Star Destroyer in the desert looked fucking epic

This trailer alone showed how to portray more emotion through imagery than all three prequels combined.
 
They bought Lucasfilm for $4 billion. With all the films being released and the merchandise, it will be a great investment.

Yeah, they know this movie when it opens is going to shatter every record know to man. I hope to see some more star wars games at E3 other than Battlefront.
 
I think it's interesting we still don't have an official release date beyond the vague "December" mention. This gives Disney a lot of flexibility and the other studios will avoid that release window like the plague.
 
I'm sure the movie will have great visuals and action.

I have no idea how the story will turn out. If it's the usual JJ Abrams cliche-ridden mess, I'll watch it once and then forget about it, just like the two new Star Treks.
 
Holy poop that looks amazing. I hope we get green lightsabers in this movies. The protagonist has had a blue lightsaber for 5/6 of these movies. Give the other colors a chance!
