Yep. Couldn't think of them all off the top of my head. Though I did have Anakin EP II

That bolded part is probably not going to win over any Trek fans who didn't like Abrams' directions with the franchise.

I hope seeing the Millenium falcon show back up is a big moment. Gimme dat Han/Leia theme upon its return into the fray.
Oh fuck I'm excited for Ep7.

I assume there is some literal component to having cameos and returns from the OT... but I hope he more meant in a metaphorical sense.
Star Wars needs OT-like scoundrels, adventurous rebellion, and menacing evil villains... but that doesn't necessarily mean it needs Han Solo (as a main character), the Rebel Alliance or Darth Vader.
Even if you liked the prequels, there is clearly a huge mainstream view that something was missing from the prequels.
It's needs to have swagger and adventure again.... not just dry and nerdy council debates and CG aliens who fart.

Put in the Millenium Falcon for the fans to freak the hell out when it shows up in the trailer.
...Then blow it up two minutes later in the film itself.

I think that's what he's basically trying to say. "JJ will restore the magic."
But if the principal OT characters are back it'd make sense to see the Falcon again.
There's a right way to have continuity without being shameless fan service. That's what the prequels were - shrinking down the universe as much as possible and trying to tie every single detail from the OT to the PT.
"It's poetry. It rhymes."
I don't think Pegg is a Star Trek fan so I doubt he cares.
Exactly, hence the issues people have had with Abrams' ST vision.
Abrams is and has always been a child of SW. He's a great fit for SW. It's just kind of weird that he'll have spanked his mushroom tattoo onto the two biggest space-oriented franchises.

I think he's essentially saying "JJ will be good for Star Wars because look how he turned Star Trek into Star Wars".
In that I agree I think he will be a good fit for Star Wars.
yeah my comment was just out of frustration. i honestly think Abrams can inject some good sense of adventure again, or at least some funny banter between characters, which is deffo a thing the prequels missed (although one could argue that the trilogy was supposed to be dark and gritty, but I digress)

Star Wars fan says man who made Star Wars film will be good at making an actual Star Wars film, basically

Yeah exactly... A little panache to the characters.
Maybe Episode III was dark.
I was the most bubble-gum fantasy of the entire series.
II was a love story, detective story, full of rather videogamey action sequences ... It had one scene of darkness.

Seems like a pretty mainstream view...
Yeah I agree with him too. I refused to buy the blu rays because enough was enough with the changes. Damn shame too cause they look fantastic
Eh, the changes are the least of the problems with the blu-rays. The basis was still awful 2004 Lowry transfer. Colors were still way off. The 2004 set had such highly crushed blacks it was a nightmare. The blu-ray basically took those transfers and brightened them up a bit, but all the same problems are there.
You saved $80.
I'm so excited for this already - must be all the pent-up anticipation that went to shit when it was obvious Lucas's prequel trilogy was going to be absolute crap after seeing Episode 1.
I think I may literally suffer cardiac arrest the first time we see a pic of Ford, Fisher, and Hammil in costume (assuming they all come back - sorry haven't been keeping up on casting news or anything, if there's even been any). I than may suffer another one when we get the first trailer.

Changes can be done well, just look at how Paramount has been handling the Star Trek series Blu-Rays, particularly the original series. They updated things, they didn't change things. They did a CGI job on the exterior ship shots, to make it look more modern. They also touched up effects for interior shots as well and made more believable background when needed. Then they had the score re-recorded, since the originals were mono. They didn't change, they just updated.
And most importantly, while the changes were generally received very well with the fandom, they went ahead and included the original stuff on the Blu-Ray as well.

I just hope they don't pull a Terminator 3 and start rehashing dialogue, jokes, and scenarios from the original trilogy but with a "im too old for this shit" twist. I want close to 90% brand new concepts, charecters, ships, etc. I honestly don't even want the Millenium Falcon and the droids back but I know that's inevitable but please don't repeat stuff from the OT.
I trust J.J. will give us something that is both fresh and good

Well he threw in a ton of old Star Trek references in ST09 and it worked without becoming overbearing. I do trust JJ in that he is somewhat decent in regards to this.

I don't think (hope) they'll do too much more than the very very small handful of running "jokes" Star Wars already has. "I have a bad feeling about this".. and.. well that's all I can think of at the moment, haha. (And I wouldn't mind them avoiding that too.) I think Abrams is smart enough to realize Star Wars does not do irony at all.

Everything I hear about the sequel trilogy makes it sound like it will be worse than the prequel trilogy.
I will see them anyway.

Very very little has been said.
Are you just trying to jump start the hate train?
Michael Arndt already wrote the script didn't he?
Bringing additional screenwriters to "polish" is the norm in Hollywood. I'm not really sure if the screenplay is already finished, anyway.

I'm pretty sure that even if Arndt's script required a polish, it sure as shit wouldn't be getting one from Lindelof and co. An Oscar winning screenwriter doesn't usually get his work polished by anyone below his own grade.
Steve Zaillian once had his script go through a heavy polish. It was done by Aaron Sorkin.
Oh right, he won for Little Miss Sunshine ages ago.
More recently he wrote the scifi pastiche Bomblivion, though. Frankly, I don't even know why he was hired in particular.
edit: just to point it out, I was half-joking, but Abrams always brings one of those three into his projects.
Wait who wrote Oblivion ? Movie wasn't half bad

That's good, because he was less than half-responsible between the four writers that worked on it (including Bill Monghan who had his name removed). Don't get me wrong, I don't think Arndt is as good a writer as he's made out to be. I'm just saying that I don't see Lindelof and crew being brought on due to how much control Disney themselves will exercise over the script.
That's true. Abrams will probably just do their bidding.
