Has he ever made a good film?

I think Star Trek and MI 3 are good (7-8/10) popcorn movies

The rest is mediocre to bad but still better than jurassic world tbh. Plus with him being rid of his goon squad of hack writers and how every piece of marketing shown so far has been saying and doing all the right things this may be his best movie. I'm ready to believe that at this point, it wouldn't be hard for him to top his Star Trek reboot with a franchise he cares far more about and with kasden helping him out
 
Irvin Kershner, director of the Empire Strikes Back, went on to direct such "classic" big-budget movies as Never Say Never Again and RoboCop 2.

I'm not a fan of JJ Abrams' filmography, but I'm still keeping an open mind.
 
My older sister and one of my nephews came by to visit, and she hadn't seen the TFA trailer. She was geeking the fuck out at it. She had no idea the old cast was returning for this one, and thought it was just a new generation for this one.

My nephew thought it was awesome, but he's never seen any of the Star Wars movies. He and his sister are both 14, but their friends talk about The Clone Wars.

We're going to watch A New Hope tonight, and maybe Empire, then Jedi tomorrow. He loves General Grievous, but I'm not sure if he knows who Darth Vader is. I didn't ask him. I told him the movies were old and maybe dated, but he doesn't care. He likes the little bit of Star Wars he's seen (and my Disney Infinity figures).

He also bought me the 8-bit Mario, Game and Watch, R.O.B., and Duck Hunt Amiibos, so he may just be the best nephew ever. I'm thinking of adopting him.

We're making plans to see TFA, but probably not opening week. Maybe the following weekend. LA is too crazy. My hype is high, but restrained. I'm fairly comfortable with what I think we're going to get from Abrams, so I'm not hyping myself up to think this is going to be the movie of the forever. Just a fun Star Wars movies with some nostalgia and fan service, and some great acting (the cast just all looks so on point performance wise from the little we've seen).

It was awesome seeing my family's reaction to the trailer. My sister is a huge Star Wars fan, and probably was the one who introduced me to it in the early 80's. I wish I had though to record their reactions, since I was too excited to see the trailer to record my own (which was actually pretty subdued, to be honest, but inside, it was a fucking explosion of joy).

I'm seeing the same reaction over here in Mexico from friends and family. And I know some other guy in the Box Office Prediction thread shrugged off my post as "anecdotal evidence", but I think this does have the makings of a potential Avatar slayer, or at least of dethroning Titanic and JW by large numbers.

Hey, RoboCop 2 was better than it had any right to be with all the fuckery that went on.

A pretty good fan poster if anyone's interested, there's things I don't love about it (still a bit too busy and they got the dialogue wrong at the top) but still very nice work. I would just post the image but I couldn't get a link.

Execution-wise it's pretty weak, what with all the characters looking cut out and not at all blended well. But in terms of concept it's actually way more appealing than the official poster. It just doesn't work unless you keep it shrunk.

Right now I'm assuming there will be cameos of MacGregor as Obiwan and maybe even that wooden Canadian dude as Anakin's ghost, and the entire plot will be basically a rehash of ANH, both of which will piss off OT fans hoping this won't suck. I do not expect cameos of Jar Jar. So somewhere in there is the middle ground.

Truly, the darkest timeline.

Yeah, Star Wars is a space fantasy that takes concepts of medieval fantasy(knights, mysticism) and filters them through a sci-fi lens. It HEAVILY inspired fantasy in the 80s(where you saw more sci-fi elements being applied to traditional templated "fantasy worlds") as well as fantasy to follow(especial Japanese fantasy and games, like Phantasy Star, Star Ocean and such). It's also got that "it took place a LONG time ago" thing. It's really a contrast to things like Star Trek, which is just "Futuristic Science Fiction", where Star Wars is "Science Fiction Fantasy" that happened "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away".

A bit late to reply to this, but one of my acting teachers told us that there's basically three types of sci-fi:
- Utopian Sci-fi, as examplified by Star Trek.
- Mythical Sci-fi, which would be Star Wars and is essentially fantasy set in space, as you said.
- Military Sci-fi, which would be Aliens or Battlestar Galactica.

Really? That's a bit...odd isn't it? So he's a Vader wannabe. I guess it's not the whole plot of the film but having a baddie who is a bit of a plank is kinda' silly in my opinion. Still, it might work out alright if it's well written.

I think it's kind of silly but I don't have the context I need to make that call yet and it makes me a lot more interested in the character. So I'm on board until further notice.
 
Im not worried about Adam Driver, most worried about Daisy because ive seen her in nothing and a posh English accent is going to be difficult to carry, everyone else in the film already has some pedigree.

The good news is that her acting doesn't have to be amazing, Mark certainly wasn't amazing in New Hope, just fine for the role. Also there's no big roles of hers to compare it to, and in that situation even if it's not a great performance you kind of just associate the personality and manner of speaking to the character. At least I do anyway.

I think she'll do fine though, her emotive acting in the trailer is really good. Could be the first time there's been decent crying in a Star Wars movie lol.

Ironically its the crying that has me a little worried, crying with a very posh accent is a hard hard sell, for me at least.

Ridley's accent isn't even posh. It's a pretty standard English accentlike mine.

Her voice actor coach labelled her language as posh in voice acting terms (On his official CV), he worked with her and Boyega

Kylo & the Knights of Ren consider Vader to be a martyr. It's a metaphor for how fanboys turned Vader from the Emperor's #1 henchman to Evil Space Jesus.

It's like poetry.

I think it's beyond obvious he is either a skywalker to solo skywalker.

The only person who would have had vaders mask is luke, no one else would have been sentimental after his burning to keep it.

Also the cross guard would be something a dark side turned child of vaders children would make. Knowing his father lost his arm twice and either uncle or father lost his arm once. in major lightsaber battles. He wouldn't want to repeat that trend.

Not to mention the main series is about the skywalker family line.

then that leaves a void on who ridley plays. It's a good idea, but I think Rey is the Skywalker, more than obviously. She already shows some skill with two-handed weapon.

Why would Luke have it? He burned the body/suit. He could've just as easily left it there on the pyre and Ren (or whoever else) could've come along later and taken it.
