Director J.J. Abrams says, "We are so excited to finally share the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII. It is both thrilling and surreal to watch the beloved original cast and these brilliant new performers come together to bring this world to life, once again. We start shooting in a couple of weeks, and everyone is doing their best to make the fans proud."
Star Wars: Episode VII is being directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer. The movie opens worldwide on December 18, 2015.

the plot of the movie is that elderly Han Solo is a super grumpy retired dude and elderly Jar Jar Binks moves in next door and they get into Matthau/Lemon comedic situations

Yeah, i actually don't understand the Driver hate. I feel like all of the hate is just based on the fact that he's on "Girls". Fanboys are stupid.drizzle wrote:yea and he's one of the leads tooGregg Popabitch wrote:I think it's dope as hell that John Boyega is in this.

No need to start a thread, but who's watched them in machete order? If you haven't heard of it, google "Star Wars machete order" and the first hit should clear it up. I really have no plans this weekend so I may give it a try

He's completely one-note and not remotely memorable besides the lightsaber and the makeup. One of the best designed bad guys of the prequels, sure, but not remotely interesting and he goes out like a complete bitch.
Might give the Machete order thing a shot too. I've been meaning to rewatch the OG trilogy and I could tolerate ep II/III again.

Re: The Official Star Wars Episode VII Thread
adam driver & john boyega are both dope
Re: The Official Star Wars Episode VII Thread
Yeah 2/3 are def worth seeing. I'd say 3 is better than 6. But neither are better than 5
Re: The Official Star Wars Episode VII Thread
I'm looking forward to this, but it's going to be weird as fuck to see an old ass Han Solo chilling with Chewie, not to mention Luke and Leia.

Re: The Official Star Wars Episode VII Thread
Machete Order doesn't work. By omitting The Phantom Menace you're creating more loose ends such as references to Qui-Gon Jinn and the immaculate conception.
Besides, you would also lose the set up to the greatest running gag in the entire Star Wars franchise: How annoying clown Jar Jar Binks entered politics, whose vote kicked off The Clone Wars and subsequently led to the formation of the Empire.
Billions dead because of the Gungan equivalent of Mindbender.

Is he really? also, i haven't really been following up on how production is going. will the story for episode vii follow closely the story that's already been laid out in the myriad star wars books that have gotten published?drizzle wrote:yea and he's one of the leads tooGregg Popabitch wrote:I think it's dope as hell that John Boyega is in this.

Clone Wars are better than all the movies combined.

Only the movies are considered cannon. The next three movies aren't necessarily going to follow the books.

So no chance of these movies being about Han and Leia's kids?
