So everyone is excited about a guy that hasn't written a good screenplay in 30 years is writing the new Star Wars?  |
'Reality' is the only word in the language that should always be used in quotes.

The story for the Shadows of the Empire game was good as I recall, and he wrote the script there.

Seriously, in a thread about star wars you thought it wise to challenge f13 to come up with dodgy image macros?

Disney doesn't want to take any chances and Abrams is a Star Wars nerd. I don't blame him one bit. Just as long as those shitbird writers from Lost stay the fuck away. Looking at YOU Lindellof.
So he gets both legendary sci-fi franchises. It's good to be the king.

And infact Lindelof is a HUGE star wars fan who littered (well, maybe not "littered" but there were many) the show (lost) with references to the saga, so here you go :P |

Well with Tatooine's two suns that'll be double the lens flare. Can't wait to see what retcons are put in this time... Leia and Chewie getting it on?

Oh great, lensflare from lightsabres too. Bring it on. This IP begs for the same kind of story-telling reboot he gave Trek. And he's a known quantity. Him or Joss Whedon, I'd have been equally happy with either. Fucking awesome. |

Man, I'm just tickled by this. Considering he's a master at making things at the very least - watchable - and considering five of the six Star Wars movies range from nerd boner bullshit to completely unwatchable trash, this is just the best news.

Oh man Darniaq, I would've been REAL happy with Joss Whedon, then I could've ignored it and immediately known what kind of shit it would've been.
That's almost better than JJ Abrams.

Is it that bad? I've heard that it's just boring more than it is offensive.

Oh great, lensflare from lightsabres too. His defense of that was pretty buyable. It started with basically "I totally overdid it. Like a million times" and went into "But you gotta understand, lensflare is this fucking thing we hate." and sorta talked about how much of a PITA lens-flare is when you don't want it, and how they have filters or whatever to prevent it now, and suddenly they can add it back in through effects but ONLY when they want it, so now they're not fighting to induce it just right when they want it and bitching when it shows up the wrong way. He's not the first nor the last guy to go "Oh cool, I can do X now!" and then overdo it. :) Still, pretty happy with this. The Star Trek reboot was great. |

I'm looking forward to Fluke Starbucker getting big fat cartoony hands and then riding the Willy Wonka tubes.
