    Well at least I can stick with a single 6-pack red bull...
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

    Besides Andy Serkis?

    Ugh. What a mess of a cast.

    Fricking JJ Idiotbrams, making bad movies and calling them "Star Wars" now as well as "Star Trek"...

    Of the new cast I know Max Von Sydow and Andy Serkis's work. The rest, probably not.

    Han Solo aka. Harrison Ford... That guy is and was epic.

    I am glad that the SW fans are about to share some of the pain... But remember... JJ said "Let's make trek more like wars".

    I'm guessing Daisy Riddler's been cast as Jaina Solo...

    I hope someone remembers to call Billy Dee Williams, he was part of at least 2 of the films, and he should at least get a cameo in the new ones.

    Maybe he'll take the same approach with Wars; "Let's make Wars more like Trek"

    --I meant the new cast. Old cast is still awesome, although I won't be able to hear Mark Hamill without wondering how Fire Lord Ozai got his hands on a lightsaber...

    --Oh, god, what's the worst that JJ could do...

    *brain breaks*

    Not a big track record for these guys. Then again, when the first film started production in '76, who but film buffs had ever heard of Harrison Ford or Kenny Baker? Or even James Earl Jones? Heck, Mark Hamill was best known for playing a kid on General Hospital, not exactly a mark of distinction for an actor.

    I'm still going to wait and see how this turns out. Of course, as usual, mere facts will do nothing to deter those who insist on hating Abrams with a passion for no very good reason...

    I don't see lens flare listed on the cast at all.

    He's JJ Abrams -- That's reason enough...



    But absolutely, the original movie cast were unknowns, no reason why the cast should be an issue :cool:

    Uncredited stars... Happens all the time.

    Personally I am hoping for more breweries.

    It will be good, Abrams usually does a good job with very little. Looking forward to it.

    Sorry, but they have a black kid in the cast. Star Wars can never have more than one black person on screen for the entire trilogy.

    Dunno why, just something we do. :confused:

    What about Captain Panaka and Mace Windu? That's two in one movie, right there.

    If you remember, that got rectified by defenestration.

    Which was so totally unfair, because Samuel L. Jackson is too much of a badass to get killed by some half-assed Sith emo.

    My head canon is that Windu survived, moved to Cloud City, changed his name to Calrissian, hooked up with a random dancer girl and fathered the coolest man in the universe to ever rock a cape.

    ...you, sir, just blew my MIND.

    No WONDER Lando is so badass! He's Samuel L. Jackson's kid!

    SLJ is so awesome, he turned Hayden Christiensen into James Earl Jones.

    And the Hayden ruined it by showing up in the re-release of Return.

    :(

    It can't possibly be worse than the prequels, so I'll go see it.

    I'll take JJ Abrams and his Lens Flares over Jar-Jar Binks, Whinakin Skywalker, and Midichlorians any day of the week.

    Abrams on his worst day is still better than George Lucas on his best day between the time period of post-1983 and when he sold the IP to Disney.

    No, it could.

    It can't possibly be worse than the "Star Wars Christmas Special", though. That can be stated as a certain fact.

    I always thought that too... He went out a window what, a kilometre up? Plenty of time to come to on the fall to the ground level, or as the Fifth Element showed, he probably slammed into an air speeder or something and got carried out of the danger zone before Anakin and Palpatine realised they could no longer feel his presence...

    JJ Abrams would have to purposefully go out of his way to make Episode VII worse than the Prequels.

    He has two things George Lucas didn't, which will put the matter to rest.

    A: Lawrence Kasdan.

    B: People who are able to tell him 'No'.

    Mace Windu survived, travelled back in time, and became Jolee Bindo.
